Dusk And Loss

Kamu

***

Echoes look back here and there. He was like a dazed man, looking for what he was looking for.

“Bas, lo squirm the girl that yesterday I law ga?” The words came out from the mouth of the handsome man. While searching, he looked for the girl. “Kok ain't seen from earlier?”

“Ohh.. Alana's? That lo girl, Gem?” Baskara asked curiously. Hoping to get a satisfactory answer from the mouth of his close friend.

“Dih .. crazy you. Yeah no. Where do I want the same crazy rich girl.” He was a little annoyed by the vague question from Baskara. “Aelah .. atiati loh, hate can be love.”

“Oh. that's him.” Echoes eyes fixed on the body that looks a little moody. Near him, he noticed from the feet to the base of the hair. Busy looking for mistakes, maybe for him yesterday was not enough to reciprocate the treatment of the woman. He smiled evilly.

“Well, your shoes have a white line. Push up a hundred times.” Echo Command with slightly elevated tone.

“Brukkkk!!” Suddenly Alana fainted. Without a second thought, Gema checked Alana's condition and held her aloud. Then he took her to the health room. Despite appearing stubborn and bodoamat, Gema is a man of conscience. There was no way he would let a girl pass out just like that.

A spotlight of lights entered the crevices of Alana's eyes. His head was heavy and dizzy. The first time he saw it was the man, Echoes. What a shitty guy. The man who ruined his days. “Don't get up first, take a break. Gausah belagak strong deh, lu.”

To just get up from where he lay, he could not. He does not want to argue. He chose silence.

“Al, why did you faint?” arrived – arrived two girls came to enter the health room. Mila and Cika. Alana's best friend in High School, who turns out to be reunited at the same campus. They met yesterday. Seeing Alana in front of the field, punished. Maybe they thought it was Echoes that made Alana faint like that.

The echoes leave Alana, Mila, and Cika. Seemingly indifferent, the two of them did not care. Like people who have not seen each other for a long time, they indulge in spoiled –, cuddle. It looks strange, but it's real.

The noise is still heard. The ospek event continues. Out of hundreds of freshmen, why should Alana? I don't know, maybe destiny. He saw a bag lying on the ground, not owned. Then he remembered, yes, it belonged to Alana. Foiled, he intends to return after the ospek event. He kept it in his bag.

Footsteps were clearly heard from the two meters where he lay. Unconcerned. He felt tired and very dizzy. A few seconds later, a heavy voice came from behind the door. “Excuse me, can I come in?”

“Iya, enter aja.” Alana lets a man behind the door. He thought it might be a new student who needed the help of nurses or medicine.

DEgg, ASTAGAA .. KAK BASKARA ..

He screamed in his heart. That handsome guy came to see her? Or is there something else? His mind drifted unnoticed. And worse, now that he was in the same room as that handsome man? Alana is grateful that Cika came with Mila to buy food for her a few minutes ago. He hoped his two friends would get lost and not know the way so that he could spend time alone with Baskara's brother.

“Are you okay, Al? Why did he faint? Not having breakfast, huh?” The question of men is like always, but for Alana it's an amazing sentence. He did not stop looking at the man. “Heyyy!!” Baskara looked at him and waved his hand in front of his face.

“Ohh, I’m okay, brother. Again not fit. Just a little less rest.” He tried to look ordinary when in his heart he was very nervous.

Why am I deg-degan? How am I gemeteran? Is this what you call falling in love?

“Kok you are gemeteran? Laper yes?” Baskara asked as she glanced at Alana's hand.

“Mmhh .. Yes, sister, but already there is Cika same Mila really, they again come out nyari food for me.”

“Yaudah if so, I returned to the field yes, you rest here. If you need permission to go home first. Cepet healed yes.” Baskara got up from the chair she was sitting in, then patted Alana on the shoulder, and left her. Just a pat, but Alana's been thinking everywhere. Have thought about what customs will be used later when married. That's how girls are. Baperans. Huhhh ..

The sky was with him that afternoon. For him, life is about solitude. How to enjoy the quiet, without but. In his favorite place, at Cak Sigit's. On the beach far from the crowds. There are probably only a few visitors who come every week. Can count fingers. That afternoon sky had always been his tranquilizer when he was tired of the life of the world. It always comes, alone.

“This is the coffee.” Say cak sigit by putting a cup of coffee in front of Gema. The shop was not big, even far from decent. There are only two long benches with wooden tables that may be almost weathered. Echoes only throw a small smile at Sigit. A few minutes he sat there. Then walk to the beach.

He stared at the sun that was almost drowning. There's a sense of tightness in the chest.

“It's dozens of full moon. When do you come home?” He saw the waves swaying. “I miss” Tibatiba he shed tears.

“I'll stay here, waiting for you to come home. I'm sure, you know the way.”

Already starting to let his guard down, Echoes chose to go home. Head to the cak Sigit store for a farewell. When he was about to take his motorcycle, he accidentally met with Cika and Mila. From a distance, the two girls had already guessed that it was an echo.

“Eh, Miles. That's Brother Echoes, right? Kating the one who greets us.” Cika tried to recognize the echo. Watch it from top to bottom.

In the eyes of the two of them, Gema was an evil man who had no conscience.

When they met, they both looked away. It was obvious that they did not like the echo. The echo is silent, understand. He chose to ride his motorcycle to go home to the boarding house he had lived in for the last two years.

You are my sky.

Being with you is my tenor.

Nothing can replace your position,

Whoever it is, I don't want to.

You even promised to stay here, right?

Then why did you just leave?

Why am I not your last port?

Why don't you give me a little sign?

Why don't you give me a cue?

Why is it so painful?

Wh why?

My heart always refuses to forget you.

I just want you. Only thou.

Go home, don't you miss me?

I'm still the same. Nothing has changed from me.

I miss you when you don't tell me.

I was angry when you left not asking my permission first.

But this time you're outrageous.

You left without because.

You left without taking me in.

I you left.

Do you not remember that I am you?

Did you forget, I love you?

You're not just leaving a wound.

But also bring my half.

Home soon. The road is still the same.

I'm still your house. Wagging.
