Chasing Dusk
Love at First Look?
30 Minutes passed, but Fendi and Susan had not returned.
Bimo realizes that they left him with Amelia on purpose, but he still acts as if he is waiting for Fendi and Susan to return..
Bimo himself was happy to talk to Amelia who turned out to be fun to exchange ideas.
Bimo looked at the girl who was now sitting in front of him and seemed busy playing his fingers, typing a message on his phone. At first glance, Amelia could not help but smile while writing a message on her phone..
'What is a message to his girlfriend?' Inner Bimo was a little curious.
Amelia Risma's.
The beautiful girl with her charming smile made Bimo fascinated the first time he saw her earlier. Her long black hair was allowed to unravel beautifully, while the pearl bando on her head added to her sweet appearance. What a natural beauty typical of Indonesia.
"It seems that Fendi and Susan will not return" Bimo said, breaking the silence between them.
He himself knew they would never come back.
Amelia took a deep breath, staring at the entrance of the cafe, seemingly hoping that her cousin would come.
"Maybe they left us on purpose" he said later.
'That's what I already know' Inner Bimo.
"You home? I'll take you back."
"A little while more. It's my last night in Surabaya. I still want to enjoy the atmosphere here." He said as he sipped the new coffee in his message.
"Last night?" Ask Bimo curiously.
Amelia nodded, putting the coffee cup on the table.
"Sok I have to go back to Jakarta. I just finished the Intership program here. Next week I start working at the hospital."
"Ohhhh......" Turns out he's a young doctor, Inner Bimo. It felt a little unwilling for their brief introduction. 'Why didn't she know Amelia? Why later on Amelia's last day in Surabaya?' Bimo riled.
"Where if we walk? Count farewell to the City of my birth I love." Tawar Bimo is directed by Amelia..
"My birth city too." Said Amelia again sipping her coffee. "I'll finish the coffee first. It's a shame that it's not over.."
"Coffee lovers turned out. Shouldn't a doctor take care of your health?"
"Go now?" Bimo asked when Amelia's coffee cup was empty, and replied with a small nod.
"I'll borrow the car for a second.."
Bimo went to borrow Andre's car, his best friend and also Fendi as well as the Manager at the cafe. Bimo was picked up by Fendi, so he didn't bring a car.
The atmosphere that night was so crowded. Almost an hour Bimo and Amelia just drive without direction to enjoy the night atmosphere of the city until finally Bimo drove Amelia in front of a large enough house that Bimo knew it was Susan's house. Bimo was with Fendi to pick up Susan when they went to an event.
"You've been living here all this time?" Bimo asked when Amelia was coming down.
Amelia just nodded. "Wanna stop by?" Ask later.
"No need. It's night. Not good enough to have a house."
"OKAY. See you soon, Bim. Later when to Jakarta call me.."
"Where to call Hape's number just don't have it.." Canda Bimo, inwardly hoping that Amelia will give her hp' number.
"Oh yeah.." Amelia smiled briefly.
They then exchanged HaPe numbers.
"What do I call you?? It seems Amelia's too long."
"Everyone used to call me Lia" Amelia said with her charming smile. "I'm in. Bim.."
Bimo nodded and looked at Lia who was walking into the whitewashed house with a high fence.. A security guard opened the gate for Lia.
'Amelian.'
Bimo murmured and his heart felt thumping. Could this be love at first sight??
Bimo returns to the cafe to return Andre's car, and returns home in an online taxi convinced Fendi will not return, while his and Susan's phones are off, possibly accidentally switched off.
Bimo wanted to curse, but not so considering tonight he was quite happy to get acquainted with Lia, which somehow made Bimo very interested. Bimo smiled, Lia's face as if dancing in her eyes.
