The Universe (My)

A Good Listener

"When the chatter starts to connect, usually a sense begins to appear. Usually,"

🍁🍁

"Well, what are we going home today? There's no way Chiko's nebeng, right?"

"Stay with Chiko, Nia."

"After everything in the hospital?" doubtful Vania.

"Yes. Whatever happens, the three of us are still best friends."

"Gue wasn't sure if Chiko was going to be ordinary, as if there was nothing."

Dusk smiled with complete confidence, "Trust me equally."

"Alley!! Vania!!"

Dusk and Vania turned towards the door–source of the voice. Chiko was already standing there, the one who called out Dusk and Vania

"What I said!" say Dusk.

Vania grinned, "Keren lo, Nja."

"Yaudah there you go home with Chiko."

"Lha, don't you?"

"Gue's the same guy not clear, tuh." Valerie rolled her eyes at Lucas.

"Yahhh, I awkward Nja tandem doang."

"Just be normal Nia, I'm sure you can."

Vania seemed to think for a moment and turned for a moment towards the loyal Chiko standing at the door. "Yaudah, I'm back with Chiko. Be careful, yes."

"Yes." Yeah." Dusk smiled, then Vania approached Chiko.

"Yuk, Chik." take Vania.

"Please?" ask Chiko.

Vania shook her head, "Same as Lucas, still undergoing a challenge."

Chiko nodded in understanding, "Yaudah, come on."

Dusk had already seen the departure of Vania and Chiko. They both looked fine, everything looked normal. Dusk was very grateful for that.

"Why don't you let Chiko know what you really feel?" Lucas sat at the twilight table.

"For what?"

"Gue think he deserves to know."

"Gue doesn't want to give Chiko false hope."

"Fake hope? You can be Chiko, you like each other."

"Keep you think I'll be happy on top of Vania's feelings?"

Lucas put his shoulders together, "Vania is happy with Chiko. Lo, not yet, right?"

"Gue is happy with Chiko. Even as a friend."

"Related?"

"Gue buried my feelings in Chiko. Now I just hope that one day Chiko can love Vania."

Lucas is not kepo, his goal is to ensure once again the feeling of Dusk on Chiko. The result of the Twilight answer made Lucas feel relieved. The burden on his heart was gone.

"Gue go back first" said Dusk while using his backpack.

"Will we end this challenge?" Lucas held back the twilight wrist. "You want to be the same as me? Don't want to extend the pedekate period?"

Dusk rolled his eyeballs, feeling caught off guard by the threat. Lucas immediately took Dusk's hand and led him to the parking lot.

"Fourth day, no progress has been made in your heart?" asked Lucas who was holding his wheel.

"No!" firmly Dusk.

Lucas chuckled, "It's hard to conquer your heart."

"Gue won't be the same. Don't dream too much."

"Dream mah, that's right. All successful people begin with a dream."

"So, have a heart."

After that there was no more conversation, both Dusk and Lucas chose to shut up. Before long Lucas' car stopped at one of the field stalls.

"Lo wait here wait a minute, there's something I have to buy."

"Hmm."

After a long time and made Dusk feel bored to wait, Lucas finally appeared. Bring a lot of rice. Lucas put it in the back seat and drove back to his car. Twilight was curious, but too prestigious to ask. Lucas could have felt big.

The next half hour, Lucas' car stopped again. This time in a slum. Yes, this is a scavenger settlement that is of course dirty, full of garbage and very unhealthy.

"Yuk!!" take Lucas. Even dusk came down from the car. Lucas picked up a packet of rice earlier.

"What are we doing here?" Dusk still did not understand what Lucas meant.

They began to enter, of course immediately welcomed residents there.

"Son, Lucas."

"Why son, how come his face is scarred?"

"Don't play here, we've been waiting."

"Son Lucas was in an accident?"

"No, I'm okay" Lucas replied.

"This is her boyfriend, huh?" ask one of the mothers–warga from the settlement.

"Yes, his name is Dusk." Dusk was very upset to hear Lucas' answer but he did not feel good if he had to be angry here.

"It's so pretty, son." Dusk immediately received praise.

"Thank you." Polite Twilight.

Lucas handed over the rice packet earlier, "Lucas can only love this, hopefully useful."

They greeted enthusiastically, "Thank you, son of Lucas, son of Dusk. May God repay your kindness."

"Amin." compact Lucas and Dusk simultaneously.

"Yaudah, that's it. Lucas was just as happy as Dusk." said Lucas.

"Now, you're fast, son?"

"Yes, the sky is overcast. Fear of rain." replied Lucas.

"Yaudah, it's okay. Bring her boyfriend here often."

Lucas smiled, "Surely."

When they finished, they returned to the car.

"Gue admit, you have a high social spirit."

Lucas smiled triumphantly, "Gue just did as much as I could. Long ago, my parents did this."

"But since your parents died, you continue." continued Dusk, immediately making Lucas confused.

"Lo know?"

"Dikasikan tau Miss Rita."

"Lo with Vania's sister?" lucas' question this time deviated far from the topic of the previous conversation.

"No, just a position." Valerie sighed for a moment, "Gue was next door to her for a long time, from Kindergarten. Often playing together, the school is also together, until finally the sixth grade of SD nyokap bokap Vania divorced. He married again and lived out of town, while he died a year later of a heart attack. Finally Vania stayed with me. But a few months later, I died of kidney failure. I only had a shot at the time, but the same. A few years later he was also sick and died. Since third grade Junior High, I've only lived together with Vania."

"Sorry, does Vania have no other family? Kan, at that time you were still Junior High and had to live alone, it was not an easy thing."

"When Vania got married, they never met again. Vania has family in the village, but she can't stay there either because her education isn't adequate. Finally they just send money monthly to Vania as a form of responsibility."

"If you are alone?"

"Gue has an aunt, but I didn't want to leave Vania. Whatever happens, I'll be the same with Vania. But, after I died, they entrusted one of his businesses to my aunt. So my aunt sent me a few percent of the proceeds from that business for my living expenses. So my aunt kept helping me out all my life, even if I didn't stay with her."

"Lo cares so much about Vania?"

"Yes, because he's like a brother to me."

"Until you are willing to live independently to be able to live with him and even give up your feelings for Chiko."

"Gue will do anything for the person I love."

"That means you're the loving and loyal type."

"I don't know. I just do whatever my heart thinks is right."

It's strange but the fact is this, suddenly Dusk was so open with Lucas. It felt so comfortable to talk to him, Lucas always listened without judgment. Maybe he's one of the good listeners.

"Tomorrow I'll pick you up at eleven."

"Well? It's off tomorrow, so you don't have to bother picking me up."

Lucas chuckled, "Tomorrow is a school holiday, but not a challenge holiday."

"Gue has a promise with Vania." lied Dusk.

"Catalin. I want to take the road, tomorrow."

"Lo can't seem like dong, I've made a deal with Vania first." Dusk begins to be upset again by Lucas.

"It's okay if tomorrow you don't want to go with me" Lucas hung up his line.

"But what?" Dusk already knows, there will be frills.

"That means tomorrow, you're officially my girlfriend." Lucas laughed at the cute face of this upset Twilight. "I win automatically if you don't want to go with me."

Dusk breathed his breath out furiously. That again-that again. He was tired of hearing it.

"Yes, tomorrow I'll be with you."

Lucas is delighted to always feel victorious in this challenge.

Dusk came down from Lucas's car to get inside his house. He no longer looked at Lucas, choosing to go straight in. Lazy if you have to mince words with badboy, he did not explain it. While Lucas, slowly carrying his car leads away from the house of Dusk.
