The Twins Game
Twins 35
...Often what makes things even more painful is our own feelings. We want something too much, we expect more. Forgetting reality can be different....
...We always want everything to go according to our own wishes, until finally we find it difficult to accept the reality that actually happened....

Dika looked at Ercilia's face. No more warm smiles and no more soft greetings from the girl.
"You still mad at me?" asked Dika after a long silence.
Ercilia seemed reluctant to answer Dika's question, which she thought clearly knew the answer. Not long after he spoke
"I drank the tea" he said coldly.
He immediately drank the tea that was served to him. Then again he asked .
"You still mad at me?"
Ercilia still ignored Dika. Ercilia glanced at her watch.
"I have to go to college." he murmured slowly. But Dika can still hear.
He could only breathe slowly.
"Hmm okay. Come on!"
The two people who did not seem to know each other stood up. Walk up to the motorbike parked in Ercilia's yard. Dika turned on his motorbike, then without saying anything Ercilia sat in the back. And keep quiet.
All the way to campus. Dika has tried many times to invite Ercilia to speak. However, the figure of the girl sitting behind him was just silent. Not responding to it at all. Dika gave up, fell silent.
Arriving at the college, Dika once again tried to talk to Ercilia.
"Cil, haven't you been long? I'm waiting in the cafeteria, right?"
And once again, Ercilia did not reply. Dika knew Ercilia actually did not have a schedule anymore on campus, just taking care of some important things before graduation. In the end, she waited in the cafeteria as usual. One hour waiting, two hours waiting, three hours waiting, until four hours Dika began to fidget. He saw that the watch in his hand was already at one noon. It should have been Ercilia's watch to the store for work. But until now the girl had not appeared in the cafeteria. Dika finally went to the academic room to look for Ercilia. And the room still looks crowded. But Dika didn't find Ercilia she was there. His eyes were still looking right and left looking for Ercilia's figure. Until the Great emerges from one of the other rooms.
"Woi Wir, find who?"
"Ercilia. Didn't you see?"
"Well, he didn't call you? He's been home from there." said the Great.
"Maybe I didn't hear him when he told me." lied Dika.
"So he just looked at the test scores. After that he went straight home." Agung explained.
"Didn't he know you were going to pick him up?"
"I... I'll go home first, Gung."
Dika also thanked him and hurriedly left the academic room. He headed straight for the motorbike parking. His current goal was Ercilia's house if indeed the girl was to go home. Dika just wants to make sure that Ercilia gets home safely.
At Ercilia's house, her mother welcomed her.
"Mom. Is there an ercilia?"
"Ercilia's gone, son."
Huft
Whatdoyouwant?
Do I have to get out of your life too Cil? Does that make you happy?
°°°°°°°°°°°°°
Later that night, Dika waited for Ercilia to come home from work. This time he no longer waited silently. However, he sat in front of the shop where Ercilia worked. At ten o'clock the shop was closed. Dika immediately approached Ercilia.
"Cil." call Dika.
"What else is it?" The question is still cold.
"I'll take you home." replied Dika.
"No need!"
"Cil, I came here to pick you up.."
Ercilia looked at Dika fiercely and fiercely.
"Listen yes, this morning I wanted to be escorted by you to campus because I didn't want any commotion in my house. But now, please don't ever see me again."
"But Cil...."
"Stop. You are nothing to me!"
Deg deg deg
It hurts!
Hearing Ercilia's last sentence made her heart ache. Indeed, all this time Dika did solely because of his role as a Hero. But now he's conscious. Ercilia means a lot to him
Yes, Dika fell in love with him.
After that Ercilia passed. Dika just wanted to chase him. A green-jacketed motor approached and Ercilia passed leaving Dika standing still. Stuck in front of an already closed shop.
•••••••••••
During the week Dika enjoyed his new habit. Every night, she waited for Ercilia at her workplace. When the shop was about to close, Ercilia went straight up to a green-jacketed motorcycle. And Dika always follows from behind. Until Ercilia really got home safely. Dika was very worried about him!
Long before Dika appeared in his life, actually Ercilia had lived a life like this. He's used to going home alone. Then he made love with the Hero and the Hero who always picked him up. If the Hero is in trouble, Ercilia will go home alone. Ercilia was already very used to this kind of condition. So why should Dika worry about it?
Dika also realized. He wasn't just worried about the girl. He loved her. More than that, Dika also felt that she missed him a lot. Every time Dika did not see Ercilia in one day. There was always something lacking if he didn't see it. It always feels incomplete. There was always a constant urge in his heart to immediately meet the girl. Even if you just see it from a distance.
Up to that kind of consciousness, once again he whispered in his heart
Did I really fall in love with him?
Logic and common sense cannot be used. His heart answered and spoke.
