When Dusk Passes

Regretting

AZKA

" Are you ready, son?" Mom came up to me while I was looking in the room.

" It's mom." I said smiling as my mother looked in the room.

" God is a cute mom's single son." Mother patted my shoulder gently, I just smiled knotingly hearing it.

It just so happened that my oldest brother attended my graduation today. He flew from the capital to this small town to attend my guesthouse and pick me up. Because after this I will stay with my brother, to take the acceptance test of the prospective PK TNI AU officer.

We left together that morning, my mother and brother sat in the student guardianship line while I sat in the front row. I sat down while chatting with the friend sitting next to me, before long I saw Lira walking hurriedly to her seat as the event was about to start.

While I was fascinated to see her appearance, she was so beautiful, her round eyes were designed in such a way with various beauty equipment that it made the eyes more beautiful many times. The lira I know rarely put makeup on her face turned out to be so stunning when she dressed up.

Liraku is sweet. I smiled seeing him. We follow each graduation process closely.

"ARIZA DWI AZKA ADYATMA, born on August 12, 1992, cumulative achievement index of 3.88, with COMMENDABLE predicate." The voice of the host loudly called out my name, I also advanced to the podium taking place.

The event was over, my brother immediately invited me to come out because we were about to leave, I also only had a photo with some of my friends, then me, brother and mother immediately left the graduation building.

I saw Lira taking pictures with her parents and friends. I smiled sadly, I'm sorry Lira, I love you. I don't know when I realized I was starting to like you.

Time has made me love you more than anything, I love everything about you, your laugh, your laugh, your smile. I don't know when I'll see everything again... I'm sorry, I'm gone, I have no power to say this farewell directly because I'm afraid, I can't help myself.

All these years I've been nurturing but you seem so hard for me to reach Lira. You are like a stone that is not flabbergasted at all by the raindrops that hit. It's not that I'm tired, but it's enough that you've been hanging on to my feelings for the past three years.

But whatever it is, keep smiling because your smile will always be kept in the deepest chambers of my heart. This love will never go away, not until when.

I stepped away from the building, leaving everything behind because now I have a new dream that I am about to achieve. Goodbye to my small town.

My chest felt heavy, a deep sense of loss I felt because I knew when I would set foot in this city again, mother planned to sell this house and stay with her brother in the capital, because there was no way she could live here alone.

My brother and I left first, while my mother will follow because she has to finish some business first. We boarded a trip to the airport, the distance from my small town to the airport took two hours of land travel, after kissing both mother's cheeks, I entered the car.

...

Lira takes off the makeup in her room, her eyes look puffy," you evil Azka, jahaaaattt." Lira throws a wet tissue into the glass. He slid both hands to his face, tears began to come out from the corner of his eye.

After being satisfied crying, Lira cleaned herself up and lay down on the bed. His eyes were fixed on a book on the shelf, it was striking among others because it had a bright pink cover. He remembered the book was once bought by Azka when he was still in High School.

Lira grabbed the book, the book titled LA TAHZAN, Lira picked up a pen and a piece of paper, she began to write.

*To Ariza Dwi Azka Adyatma,

Hi my best friend,

I was confused where to start. You know, I thought about how to talk to you, I thought about it for days, I finally decided I'd see you after graduation. I looked for you after the show was over, but I didn't find you, I kept looking until my legs were chafed. You tau?? I cried, I just wanted to say that I love you, why is it so hard. Well, I want to admit it, I like you, I love you. I don't know since when, I don't know.

Forgive me for taking so long to convince myself that this sense of friendship has turned into love.

Princess Khasanah Lira*.

The lira folded the paper and slipped it inside the pink book. Then he changed his clothes and went out to Azka's house.

Azka's house looks lonely, Lira tried to knock on her door, the sound of the doorknob being opened, Lira breathed a sigh of relief that there was still someone inside. The old woman was standing at the door, her hair was gray, her face was a little wrinkled but it was still clear that when she was young she was very beautiful, well, she was Azka's mother.

" Eh Lira, come in." Azka's mother opened the door wide, allowing Lira to enter.

Lira kissed the back of the woman's hand and sat down.

" Lira just wanted to give a book to Azka buk, Azka is there?" Tanya Lira probing.

" Oalaah, Azka didn't say yes? He was the same brother who had gone with his brother to Jakarta." Celeh ibuk's.

" Oh yeah no papa, if that's how Lira tipped her book to mother aja ya." Pinta Lira's.

Lira had expected it, the book she first wrapped with wrapping paper that she entrusted to Azka's mother, so Azka's mother could not open the book in which there was a love letter.

Lira did not ask much, because she was afraid of shedding tears in front of Azka's mother, after having made a stale finally Lira came home. Azka accidentally did not meet him, why?

Lira just wanted to step out of the house, Azka's mother called her.

" Lira, I'm sorry yes, maybe the mother and Azka will not return to this city, because the mother will settle in Jakarta with Azka and her brother, this house has been sold. God willing, tomorrow I'm going to catch up with them."

Deggs...

That means Azka will never come back, immediately Lira limp, her body stiff, if you know Azka really went like this maybe she will talk when Azka asked her feelings, she said, he will not prestige by silencing the guy for a long time. Now Lira is very sorry.

Lira turned to face Azka's mother, trying to strengthen her heart so as not to cry. He smiled and kissed the back of the old woman's hand.

" Lira also apologizes ma'am, take care of your health, send greetings to Azka good luck." That was all Lira could say and she left the house.

When she got home, she just cried and cried. Regret never comes in the beginning, he is always present later. After it happened then realized, Lira really felt sorry at this time. And now that Lira had only harbored her story, it was not necessary that the others knew how grievous her heart was right now.

Tired of crying, she finally fell asleep. Adzan magrib reverberated from the mosque toa, Lira woke up from her sleep, she rubbed her eyes more and more moist. He grabbed his phone hoping for an Azka call there, or at least one message from the guy, but nothing.
