Friend Bed

Loving Dusk

Vansh walked along the road, but for almost half an hour he walked down the road. He found no trace of Maya at all.

"Where are you Maya?" vansh grumbled as she scanned around the road.

"Terminal or station? If he goes out of town for sure he goes to one of those places. Yeah, I'd better go to the nearest station and terminal from this place" Vansh said. He then drove his car to a nearby station. After arriving at the station, he rushed to ask security and entrance guards while showing a photo of Maya, but they said they did not see the photo of the woman as asked by Vansh.

Vansh breathed out from her mouth and rubbed her face violently. "Terminal, I need to get to the terminal now!" vansh.

He then walked out of the station and got into his car and drove his car to the nearest terminal. Arriving at the terminal, Vansh went straight to the bus ticket booths lined up along the side of the terminal and showed a photo of Maya on her phone asking if the woman on Vansh's phone had bought a ticket today at the counters. But all counter officials said the woman asked by Vansh did not buy their bus ticket.

"Jeez, where are you Maya?" grunts Vansh.

"Should I go to the airport? Oh no, it's impossible for Maya to go on a plane."

With a limp step, Vansh exited the terminal complex and reentered his car. He also now seemed to close his eyes while frowning. When he was confused, he suddenly remembered something.

"There, I'm sure he must be there!" vansh then rushed to drive her car back through the crowded streets of the capital. "Wait for me Maya, I'll be here soon" said Vansh.

...***...

"This is the money, sir" Maya said when the online taxi she was riding stopped at her destination.

"Thank you" replied the taxi driver.

Maya then got out of the taxi and walked slowly to a stop in front of a private high school. He sat at the stop and took something from his bag. A silver necklace with a heart-shaped pendant she now held. Every now and then, he rubbed the locket.

'My knights,' Maya muttered with a wry smile. His heart also seemed to be sliced when he said a name even though it was only spoken in his heart.

"You are a name in my heart, a name that I call in every day, not just for a short time but for a very long time. You are a name, which I love so deeply, though only I can hold. And you're a name I can only admire from afar without even daring to come close to you. O owner of the name, this place is a witness to my love for you, a love I could never touch because loving you is like loving the twilight. Dusk is present but it is also set to go, because loving the twilight means it must also be ready for heartbreak" Maya said while holding a pendant in her hand.

"Goodbye my weapon, goodbye my knight. Today is the end of our story. Ah, it doesn't feel like. Not our story but just my story, I was presumptuous to love you when I knew getting your love was impossible for me. But I realized, someday ready or unprepared I will be there at this point, because I have been too brave to love the twilight knight," Maya said as she shed her tears.

He then took a deep breath and then exhaled, his chest was now seen up and down with so stingy to withstand the tightness and pain in his chest, taking off and trying to forget the love that has been in his heart for so long is not easy. Tears flowed down Maya's white face. The drizzle that fell into raindrops did not dampen his steps to get away from the bus stop.

Maya who has now risen from the bus stop, walked to the side of the road and then raised her hand and dropped the pendant in her hand. "Goodbye, goodbye to the past, goodbye to memories," Maya says then half-runs, intending to cross the road. But suddenly a scream along with a pull so tight suddenly shocked him.

BUGHHHHH

"AWWWW!" shouted both.

Maya's body was slammed into the sidewalk with the figure of a burly person who is now beside her. "Basic sloppy!" grumble that figure.

Hearing a familiar voice, Maya turned her eyes to the side and saw a handsome man she knew.

"Basic sloppy! Isn't it enough that you've been making me experience memory loss for a dozen years? Would you do that to me again? I'm trying to remember all my past. And you almost harmed me again and made me lose my memory again? Looking at the car in plain sight alone cannot! Basic suck!" vansh's nagging is long.

"Sorry, it's dark. So I don't pay much attention around me."

"No reason, you suck. That accident twelve years ago also happened during the day, and then you want to reason dark and not see the streets anymore!"

"I'm sorry" replied Maya.

"Fast to stand up, the rain began to pour. Take your suitcase and put it in my car, I'll drive you home right now!"

"I can't" Maya replied as she lowered her face.

"So you don't want to go home? What's the reason you don't want to go home?"

"Sorry sir, I have to go now, thank you very much for helping me twice" Maya said, turning her body around. However, his steps suddenly came to a halt upon hearing the call from Vansh back.

"Pretty girl, you've dropped your locket!"

"Sorry, the locket is not mine, I already took the locket from someone. So I don't deserve to have that pendant."

"You deserve to have that locket because I meant to give you that one" Vansh said, taking the locket and closing in on Maya. Vansh flips Maya's body back to face her. The tears that flowed so hard on Maya's face were now mixed with the torrent of rain.

"Twelve years ago, I was attracted to a girl who always carried a box of cookies as she passed my school, I admired that girl so much even though I didn't know her. That afternoon I intended to give this pendant and get acquainted with him. However, he almost got hit by a car and I ran to save the girl. The girl survived, but I had to give up half my life to lose my memory of her. And when I remember the past, I won't let that girl out of my life. Do you understand, Maya?" ask Vansh who now holds Maya's face.

While Maya who was so surprised to hear Vansh's confession could only cry, her feelings felt so mixed. Looking at the tiny face inside her hand. Vansh brought her face closer and placed her lips on Maya's rancid lips and began to gently grasp them under the rain.
