Chasing Dusk

Still on Khayangan Island

Bimo ran after Dusk..

"Cieeeee.. Angry at the story..." Bimo compensated for the twilight move which seemed to accelerate as he watched Bimo approach.

"It's really angry...!!!" Bimo stared at Dusk while walking backwards.

"I'm sorry if you're offended.." Bimo stopped his steps, blocked Dusk's steps and put his hands together in front of Dusk's face as a sign of apology..

Dusk Silence looked at Bimo who looked begging with a clear face..

"I'm hungry. Hungry again to hear your chatter.. We're looking for food, and you're gonna have to pay for it. I'm sorry..." Dusk stepped back to find a place for them to fill his stomach which had been rumbling..

Bimo smilingly looked at Dusk 'Feelings from yesterday as well as I paid in' he muttered and then followed Dusk..

Two servings of grilled chicken and two glasses of ice cendol and two bottles of mineral water became their lunch menu which did not take long for them to spend because it was past lunch time...

"Bim, do I look boring?! I mean my appearance" Dusk looked at Bimo seriously begging for an answer.

"I'm honestly okay - what?"

Dusk nodded quickly..

"I think it is..! You look boring"

Dusk disappointed. I don't know why it feels a little sick to hear it from Bimo, but he was used to hearing it from his best friend Amel..

"Eh... I don't mean 'you' are boring.." Bimo hurriedly clarified his words, "But your appearance.. You do it in front of the camera, so your visuals should be good. Your video is good, editing is good too. But if your appearance remains that - that's it, people will be bored for a long time.. Visuals for people watching are no less important..." Bimo was serious.

"Including those of you who are bored, right Bim? He he he" Dusk laughed crisply..

"Make what bored. We rarely meet either.."

The.. !!!!

The heart of Dusk seemed to stop hearing Bimo's words. Yes, they rarely meet. They are not who without knowing each other's lives.. Twilight only Tau Bimo is a photographer and lives in Surabaya. Not more. And they are the same never discussing their personal lives.. They just have the same hobbies and travel together..

"Where are we going to be tonight?" Bimo asked without knowing the excitement of the twilight heart..

"Where else are you going. We're on the little island of Bimo.. At most I just want to go to the dock, enjoy and immortalize Sunset..."

Pensive twilight..

5 Minutes passed

10 Minutes passed

15 Minutes passed

They sat in silence and were busy playing with their phones..

"Reverse hotel yuk Bim.. I want to take a break. Dingy. Wanna change clothes to the dock, too.."

Dusk passed followed Bimo from behind..

Arriving at Bimo's room headed straight for the sofa and lay there.

"You can use Ja's bed.. Sleep briefly. It's only gonna be 3 p.m. At 4 o'clock we will go to the dock. "

Dusk lay on the bed without answering Bimo.. His eyes glanced at Bimo who was busy playing his game..

'We are only strangers..' Twilight muttered and his mind wandered in view of the encounter and some of their journey together..

Dusk fell asleep....

Bimo glanced when he heard a faint snoring sound not far from him. Dusk is asleep, sleep with mouth slightly open..

Bimo smiled looking at Dusk. 'This chick has no sweetness...' His inner and constantly smiling continued his activities skating in the Maya world from his smartphone..

"Senjaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Dusk was startled by the sound of screaming across after he answered the call...

"Oh Ameeeellllllll.. I'm not budeeeeek...." Shouted Dusk reply.

"Part of you from earlier on the phone was not picked up.. Where the hell?? "

"Sorry Mel's. I overslept. Do you know what I'm sleeping for..?"

"Tumben you're sleeping at this hour.. Usually you never miss twilight.."

Dusk as if waking up from his sleep, looking at his watch.. Almost half 5..

"Oh no. Mel I'll call you back, yeah.." Dusk hurriedly ended Amel's call, while on the other side Amel was grumbling because he meant the call was not delivered..

'Oh yes.. Where is bimo?' Ask Dusk in your heart.

Dusk immediately cleaned himself in the bathroom, changed his clothes and went out looking for Bimo..

'Why didn't Bimo wake me?'

***

Dusk immediately walked quickly towards the dock..

'Ah shit. He had almost missed the beauty of the afternoon in this place..' Night grouse in the heart..

Arriving at the docks of Dusk do not see Bimo. 'Maybe he went somewhere else.' Inner Twilight, while his eyes were still trying to find the figure of Bimo..

Dusk sat hanging his feet on the edge of the wooden dock. In addition to himself, there are also some visitors who are there, enjoying the natural scenery of the afternoon from the small pier on the west side of the island..

Dusk staring at three young women who perpetuate their togetherness using a cell phone camera in tongsis help, there is a young man, maybe his age is not much different from him, he said, he was photographing a young woman whose stomach looked slightly distended.. Maybe they are a couple who have not been married for a long time.. There was clearly happiness on their faces and the twilight made them smile..

'Oh my camera.' cried twilight just remembered his camera that was left behind because he had hunted out of the room..

'Ah already. I'll just use my phone..' Answer Dusk on his own turmoil.

Dusk began to capture the charm of the orange sky on the western horizon, the Surya looks majestic radiating light and began to sink in the western horizon.

Bimo POV's

Bimo stopped his steps, took the camera and captured the beautiful scenery in front of him..

Bimo smiled looking at the results of his shots.. A braided girl wearing a boxed shirt sat on the edge of the wooden dock, staring at the sky, smiling..

His name is Dusk Sandara.. He lives in Jakarta and is a Vlogger. That's all Bimo knows.. They are only traveling companions who never violate each other's privacy.. They only exchange news through messaging applications, or leave a trail of comments on their respective posts on social media.. Short comments without a lot of stale words..

"Beautiful" Bimo commented in a selfie upload Dusk as he enjoyed a bright afternoon in Malang City.

And

"Kereeennnnn.." Comment Dusk when Bimo uploads his shots when visiting the Floating Market in Kalimantan..

Whether since when did Bimo start waiting for every post Dusk on social media, few words, but full of meaning.. While he never left a caption on every post. According to him, all the beauty he captured through his camera can not be expressed in words..

And somehow since when also Bimo became impatient waiting for their next trip..

Bimo looked back at Dusk who was busy photographing himself with his cell phone camera.. 'Funny' the drum was slow, then stepped towards Dusk..
