For the past few months, Shanum has focused on his school. After learning that Adera already has a boyfriend, she no longer harbors any expectations for the man.
Shanum had also kept his distance from Adera in various ways that he did, initially Adera continued to wonder why Shanum seemed to avoid him. And Shanum firmly replied that he just wanted to focus on learning.
Without feeling the time passes quickly enough, Shanum has declared graduated from his High School. And he will continue his education at the University of Indonesia by majoring in fashion designer.
As fate may have happened, Shanum and Adera were reunited on the first day of UI freshman admission. Though Shanum had stayed away long enough and did not see it, and now the longing had returned.
" Hey, congratulations on being accepted here." Say Adera while hand-picking.
Unfortunately Shanum did not accept the hand post from Adera, he just smiled knot and said.
" Same brother. "
" You how are you.? " Task Adera again.
" Well, "Shanum replied without any feedback.
" I joined my friends first, brother. " Continue Shanum who felt he had to end his meeting with Adera.
" Oh, yeah. Have fun with it. " Reply Adera could only stare at Shanum's departure back then.
When Shanum had just moved, he saw a beautiful woman approaching Adera. Shanum had never met the woman, but he recognized her. He was Gea, Adera's boyfriend who was told by Kikan at the time.

At around 4pm Shanum had just finished with his activities as a freshman, it was time for him to return home. That afternoon Shanum was not picked up by anyone because he wanted to go home alone by using an online taxi service.
On the way to the house, he suddenly wanted to go to the beach to once again see the sunset. As a result Shanum asked the taxi driver to change their destination route.
Upon arrival at the beach, Shanum would always take off his shoes and carry them by hand. Then he began to trace the shoreline barefoot, letting the sea water sweep over his two feet that were walking leisurely.
Dusk began to show its beauty, the sky immediately turned into a bright orange color. The sun slowly entered the other side of the earth, and Shanum stood silently staring at the departure of the sun.
Shanum pulled over for a moment and placed his shoes on the sand, then both hands were busy looking for a cell phone to photograph the scenery he saw now.
Shanum managed to capture one twilight vortex that looked so beautiful, then he thought of sending the picture to someone.
Yes, he is Adera. The reason why Shanum wanted to send Adera a twilight picture was because she wanted to completely end her feelings for Adera, she wanted to move on from that still disturbing feeling.
In the picture he sent to Adera, Shanum left a sentence that read.
" The sunset is beautiful, isn't it.? "
He said, the sentence that Shanum just sent to Adera is a sentence that contains the meaning of letting someone we love to be happy with others.
Shanum was sure that Adera would not understand her point, so he could say goodbye without having to say it clearly.
" I hope we don't see him in the future, brother. " But Shanum while smiling knots.
Shanum deactivated his phone again, wanting to stay on the beach until he was satisfied. The people of the house have been told so that no one needs to worry about its existence.
" Shanuummm. " Shouted someone who managed to make Shanum turn his head in shock.
Shanum did not expect at what he saw at this time, the figure of Adera who appeared with a stupefied state tried to regulate her breathing before finally approaching Shanum.
" What is Dera doing here.? " Tanya Shanum was curious.
" At last met, too, what do you mean.? " Adera showed the photo sent by Shanum earlier.
" I just want to send a picture of dusk to brother Dera aja. " Reply Shanum lirih.
" You think I don't know what that means? I also read a book you used to read about twilight. Now I ask for clarity from this photo, what do you mean.? "
Shanum was too embarrassed to explain, he even turned his head in the other direction to avoid Adera's very serious gaze.
" You didn't really let go of me, did you.?" Sahut Adera immediately made Shanum surprised.
" What does Brother Dera mean.?"
" I like you too Shanum." Reveal Adera with a very serious look.
" Don't joke, brother, what about sister Gea.?" Reply Shanum.
" Gea? Why did you suddenly mention her name.?"
" Kak Gea is Dera's girlfriend, right.?"
" Say who.?"
" Kikan's sister."
Adera looked frustrated hearing that, Shanum himself looked at her confusedly. Then Adera contacted two people at once, namely Kikan and Gea, then when the call was successfully connected, only then did Adera ask the two women to explain to Shanum that between Adera and Gea there was no relationship whatsoever.
" I was joking at the time, Gea and Dera had nothing to do. " Kikan's right across there.
" Yes, I'm the same as Dera. " Continue Gea.
After all was clear, Adera ended the call and looked back at Shanum asking for his response again.
" Is this why you're avoiding? All this time you also had the same feeling as me, but you kept quiet and chose to leave after hearing Kikan's lie.?" Ask Adera.
For ten months Shanum stayed away from Adera and it was all because of Kikan's lies, and stupidly again he did not find the truth more clearly because he was afraid of the reality he would accept.
" Kak Dera himself why never say that brother Dera also likes me ? I'm a girl, which might reveal it first." Ketus Shanum's.
" It's hypocritical that if I said I didn't like you, from the beginning you made me fall in love. But baby, I'm not a teenager anymore, who wants to give love just from a romp. Because there is one thing that is certain, that a man's certainty is in his pride. So the reason I didn't say it, was because I didn't think it was the right time. "
" When you suddenly move away, it feels very sad. I don't know what to do, I can only wait but my wait has gone to waste. "
" Now I know how you feel, and you know how I feel. So, we just go ahead. We have to get to know each other more before we have a serious relationship, right.? " Tanya Adera whose every speech made Shanum difficult to speak.
Suddenly Shanum's tears flowed in his eyes, did not want Adera to see him cry then made Shanum immediately turn his body facing back.
Shanum just shook his head slowly.
" Why then? If you don't answer, I won't know. " Sahut Adera tried to see Shanum's face.
Now that Adera was standing before Shanum, she saw how the girl was crying in front of him.
" You don't cry. " Adera said she felt bad for him.
" I cry happily, brother, I think my feelings are only one-sided. It turns out that Dera's brother also has the same feeling. " Shanum sounded slow.
Adera then smiles who is greeted with laughter that makes Shanum confused.
" Why laugh.? " Tanya Shanum looked at him curiously.
" You are gemesin. " Adera's reply that managed to make Shanum finally stopped crying.
" Yuk come home, papa and mama you must be worried. " Take Adera who then responded to a slow nod from Shanum.
