Not as Red as Dusk
freer
There was the sound of water coming from the bathroom. Esta turns on the shower. Enjoy every drop of water that touches his body.
Aaaah.The heavy days have finally passed.
Suddenly the shadow came back. Esta shudders. Spontaneous finger palpated his lips.
BRAK!!!
Esta closed the closet door violently. That memory should not come back. It shouldn't be Nick.

Asih greeted Esta who seemed to be walking towards the kitchen.
Dinner is ready, miss
Accompany me to eat bi?
Asih nodded then sat down next to Esta. The two occasionally chatted. I even heard laughter from that little room.
.
.
Meanwhile. Outhouse. Just a few meters from Esta's residence. A car stopped there long enough. Someone in it looked serious. Wishing the girl who had made her sleep unwell lately came out.
Tomi: we can go straight down boss
Nick stared straight at Tomi. Instantly made him silent.
Nick: we're going home Tom
Tomi: ready boss
Nick: get the plane ready tomorrow afternoon we leave
Tomi: uh?
.

Lala put her arms around Esta's shoulders. The two are planning to go to the mall after college. There's stuff he's after.
Lala: lately the blue-eyed man is rarely seen
The blue-eyed man?
Source: Nick
Uh! thats right. Nick no longer looks around. is he busy? it's been over a month, since that day...
Lala: what are you thinking?
Esta: no
Lala: you must be missing Rico
Rico..when did you come home?
.
.
.
Esta's phone rings. A video call. Rico.
Esta: Rik...
Rico: hey..What's wrong with you? why yell?
Esta: I miss
Rico: really?
Esta nodded.
Rico: what are you doing today?
Esta: aaaah.Routinity as usual.get bored.
Rico: bored? did Nick not accompany you?
Nick's? why ask Nick all of a sudden?
Rico: why your face?
Esta: uh no. Why are you asking Nick?
Rico: I left you to him
Rico: he's my brother, as long as I'm not around, only he can protect you
Esta: cih.i can even take good care of myself.
Rico looked at Esta's reddened face. With her pursed lips. It was so nice to kiss her softly.
Why are you smiling co?
Rik: I miss you
Esta blushed. His face was as red as a tomato.
I want to bite your red cheek
.
.
.
Asih approached Esta. His face looks riled up. His hands were squeezing each other.
Esta: what's wrong bi?
Someone sent a letter to the lady
Esta: someone?
Asih: no sender name
Esta grabbed the brown envelope in Asih's hand. Open it.
What'sthis?! a threat?!
Asih: miss should be more vigilant. should be more careful...
Esta: what's more?
Nick is no longer here
whahuh? why should you rely on Nick? he even dared to compete with Rico? is that what you call protecting?
Esta: ah. I can take care of myself bi. don't worry
Careful: be careful, miss
Esta got into an online taxi she booked through the app. His mind is not calm. Whose threatening letter was it from? Kai? Didn't Nick teach him a lesson back then? it seemed like he could no longer have the guts to approach Esta. What then?
Driver: it's been non
Esta stutters. All the way just a daydream. It even arrived in front of the campus. Unawarely.
Esta: thank you sir
Once down, Esta took quick steps mingling in the crowd. Must alert. Anywhere. Whenever.
Kim Sir: Esta!
Esta: ah. good morning sir
Mr Kim: good morning.are you okay?
Esta: me? I'm fine sir
Mr. Kim: you're a little tangled up, not as usual
Esta: really?
Once through a glass window. Esta quit. Seeing her reflection in the mirror. Is correct. He's a little tangled up this morning.
Mr Kim: will there be an after-school event?
Esta: why is dad still here? seen me just now?
Mr. Kim smiled looking at Esta's red face in embarrassment. He just looked down not daring to look at his lecturer.
Ow hell! where do I put my face
Mr Kim: after class. Can you help me?
Esta: yes?
Kim: I need a little help
Esta: me?
Esta pointed at her own face. Mr. Kim has passed from before him.
Mr. Kim is a mixed-blooded. Her skin was pure white with slightly narrowed eyes. His face was not very firm. But it holds a lot of mystery. Not many people know about his personal life. There's not even a lot of data to dig into. He was just a young lecturer with a dashing and charming appearance. Always clean and tidy. Many girls are shaking it. But until now no one seemed to be able to captivate his heart.
Aaaah...semisterius is that you sir?
Lala dissolved in her mind. Of his two eyeballs. The face of Mr. Kim.
When did I break up?
