When Dusk Passes

Get far...

Lira lay her body on the bed in her room, still looking shocked by what Azka said a few minutes ago.

How could it be, he thought.

He tried to close his eyes, hoping that when he opened them again, it was just a dream.

But it's not a dream at all, my God.

Lira really did not end up thinking, how could an Azka could like it. "There are so many girls on campus, or even in this world, why should I." Benak Lira's.

Lira buried her face in the pillow, she was really ashamed, she could not hold her face in front of Azka anymore.

Aaaggrrhhhhhh !!!!!

Lira hit her pillow, she was upset, really upset.

Wait for...

But why should the Lira be upset?

Azka just said she liked it. The rest did not say anything else, even the guy did not ask how Lira felt towards him.

So then...

What did she mean??

...

Azka

What did I just do??

Crazy,, I'm really crazy.

I could only duck weakly while squeezing my hair in frustration.

I don't know where the demon possession from earlier made me say crazy things in my life.

I looked at the girl in front of me with heart, she looked very shocked at what I said just now.

The next second, he immediately stood up awkwardly.

"I'm done, we go home yuk." he said while showing a face that could not be confirmed at all.

Haaaahh...

Is that the response???

I smiled bitterly while spending the rest of my drink in the glass. Then stand up and pay for the food at the cashier.

We went home in silence. Wrestling with each other's minds. I don't think I should ask her about her feelings either, right?

I just made one statement. Well, a statement of love in the form of one-way communication, it's really funny.

She just smiled awkwardly as she thanked me when we got to her house.

...

It seemed like Lira had started wanting to make an invisible circle within her. He seemed to start to distance himself and confine himself to Azka.

Like this morning, they just happened to be in the same service shift. Lira does not talk much, deliberately avoiding when their gazes meet or in conditions where both must do medical treatment together.

Azka began to be careless to see the change in Lira's attitude like that. But Azka hasn't had a chance at all to talk to Lira.

...

Lira

Oh my God, today's morning shift with Azka. This was the first time we met again after that time.

Honestly I wasn't ready to see his face, I was too embarrassed. How not, the person whom I had always considered as my own brother, suddenly said he liked me. I was confused where to put my face.

Pieces of various memories that we had gone through together danced in my head. I remember how I shamelessly asked him to pick me up from my various activities, borrow his money, once also borrowed his jacket, his bag, whatever else I had borrowed from him.

And finally, I looked at the shoes I was wearing.

I swallowed my own salivary which felt like a thorn in my esophagus.

This is also from Azka...

I just bowed lethargicly looking at those shoes, it felt like my body was already like a lump of boneless flesh.

A senior nurse ordered a friend next to me to go to the Laboratory room to deliver a sample of the patient's blood. Just as he stood up, I held his hand.

" Let me just yah." My love for him.

I want to leave, at least disappear from this room.

I walked with wide strides, down the slightly deserted corridor.

When I look back.

Glekk...

There Azka walked towards me.

I sped up my pace, occasionally I glanced back, he still followed me.

Oh, my God, what the hell is he doing.

I increased the speed of my steps, and he also increased the speed.

Okey...

I exhaled, closed my eyes and turned around.

" You want a...."

I stopped for a moment.

A little surprised, because the one I spoke to wasn't behind me. It turned out that Azka turned at the intersection of another corridor. Quickly I turned around again, looking around with a pias face while enduring the embarrassment. Apparently he wasn't following me.
