When Dusk Passes

Heart Shaped Chocolate

" There is nothing to talk about Ka, even if you want to meet, invite the image of your future wife. I don't want any meetings behind Citra." Say flat Lira.

Then the Lira disconnected her phone unilaterally. Her tears flowed again. After all this time, why is Azka now. Wh why?

Azka breathed a rough breath, Lira's words had really struck her heart. How can he talk alone with Lira, there is no way he invites Citra as requested by Lira.

...

As usual, Monday has arrived. The lira is again preoccupied with a myriad of activities. Full teaching schedule until noon. Towards lunchtime, Lira walked into her office with a disheveled face and sipped a drink from a bottle she had brought herself from the boarding house.

" Mom, we're eating out yuk." Image approaching Lira.

" Where's Cit eating?"

" There's a new cafe, let's try yuk." Persuade Citra while holding Lira's arm. The lira who was treated like that ended up just coming along.

They had arrived at a cafe not so far from campus. While waiting for the order to come, Citra opened a chat.

" Yesterday, Azka asked for Lira's mobile number, and I kept telling her. What's wrong, mbak?"

Lira was slightly jolted at Citra's question, oh so Azka got my number from Citra. Benak Lira's.

" Oh that, Azka, you want to ask about her best friend who married yesterday, yes it wants to ask that." The confused Lira looked for an excuse, while biting her lower lip she noticed Citra who had a suspicious expression on her. Then Citra smiled.

" Oh." The image nodded in understanding.

After that there were no more questions from Citra, Lira exhaled softly. When he looked outside the cafe, he caught the figure of Azka walking into the cafe, still wearing his service uniform, Air Force TNI uniform, Azka really looks so dashing and handsome maximum.

Some female visitors seemed to be blatantly staring in admiration at the figure of Azka who was passing through their table. The image that saw Azka waved at Azka, and Azka walked towards them.

" I'm confident Azka's sister, don't you think?" The image turned to Lira.

Lira took her eyes off Azka.

" It's not papa." Answer the Lira.

Citra should not have to take me if she wants to have lunch with her future husband. Benak Lira while looking down.

Azka had already taken a sitting position next to Citra.

" What do you want to order? image of the same mbak Lira already ordered first." The image speaks to Azka.

" Hmmm just go with you guys." Answer Azka.

" Okay, wait for Image to order first." The image immediately rose from his chair and walked towards the servant's desk.

Sitting alone with Azka made Lira nervous, she did not want to see the person sitting in front of her, Lira's eyes focused on Citra's back that began to move away.

Azka cleared her throat, making Lira glance at him.

" I'm sorry Ra." Azka is soft.

" I'm sorry for what? you have nothing wrong with me." Ketus Lira while taking her eyes off Azka.

" I just found out you sent me a letter back then, I just read it. I forgot to give it to me." Azka began to explain.

Lira was silent for a moment, I don't know what she was thinking.

" Forget it, don't talk about it again, it's all the past." Said the cold lira.

Suddenly Azka clasped Lira's hand on the table, only to make the Lira flutter. He was very worried that Citra would see this scene. It is not funny if Citra caught her future husband tightly grasping the hands of his own best friend.

"Azka!! you are not sane !" Lira tries to release her hand from Azka's grasp.

" I still love you Ra, I'm sorry." Lirih Azka with the lowest tone but Lira can still hear it.

Seen from afar Citra walked up to their table, Azka quickly let go of her hand. The smiling image approached and sat down again in his chair.

"Oh." Azka and Lira answered almost simultaneously.

The food served was really good, the three of them seemed to enjoy it very much.

" Lira, are you married?" Azka started to open the chat.

Cihh, what kind of question is that, you know! Lira.

" Lira's mom is still single sis." Citra answered Azka's question while bribing her food.

" Oohh, do you have a boyfriend?" Azka asked again.

Hahh, he really is not sane, what does it mean to ask me in front of a person who is a month away as his wife. The lira began to scream in her heart.

" It's been." Answer the steady lira.

The image almost choked on hearing Lira's speech. He quickly sipped water in front of him.

" Lira already has a boyfriend? I'm not telling you this." Cetus Citra curious.

"Yes Cit, just made it up." Lira replied lying while imagining Dio, only Dio crossed her mind to be her lying boyfriend candidate to stay away from Azka.

" Whoaaaa Alhamdulillah, who is it?" Ask Citra excitedly.

" Dantai mbak introduce, oh yes Cit It seems mbak first yes, later Citra go home with Azka aja, mbak no business a little." Say Lira while taking the key on the table and passing away.

" What's wrong with Lira ?" Ask Citra to Azka.

Azka just spread her shoulders while continuing to eat her lunch.

...

After eating their lunch, Citra and Azka left the cafe, Citra did not return to campus, he asked Azka to drive him home. Along the way they were silent, Azka focused on driving.

Mind Citra drifted everywhere, for a moment he glanced at Azka who was still focused on the wheel. There is a real connection between Azka and Lira. It seems they are not just friends, I really saw that brother Azka grasped the hands of mbak Lira, there is no way I could see wrong, the image of the mind.

Plus the gaze of Azka's sister who looked different when she saw Mbak Lira, Azka's sister never even looked at me like that. Brother Azka also rarely want to be invited to lunch together, but when he heard I invited mbak Lira, he was very excited even to be willing to leave his service hours. The image continued to deepen while looking out the window.

...

Lira was on the campus again, her mind was in a state of turmoil. Azka is really outrageous, how about Citra get suspicious. Citra is his best friend, already he considers like his own sister. The heart of Citra will certainly hurt if you know what kind of relationship her future husband with me, the inner Lira.

Lira also did not deny that until now her feelings for Azka had not changed at all, not diminished in the slightest. But he had to throw his feelings away considering Azka is now Citra's future husband. It is better to die than to hurt the image. Lira curses herself while burying her head on her desk.

" Buk, is mom okay?" The voice of someone broke the Lira's daydream. The lira raised her head, and it turned out that Dio was already standing across her desk.

Quickly the Lira confirmed her sitting position.

" What's Dio gonna do?" Lira asked while looking at the student.

" Want to ask for a signature on the buk case report." Answer Dio politely.

Lira nodded and took the report that Dio gave, without checking it again, Lira immediately put her signature on the paper that had been named there. Then hand it back to Dio.

"Thank you buk." Dio leaves the room, but before Dio leaves, he puts a small package on the Lira's table.

" Wait what is this?" Lira's question stopped Dio's footsteps, the young man turned around again.

" Say the man can relax the mind, just try." Dio put on his trademark smile and then passed. Lira opened the small package, she smiled when she saw what it contained.

Heart-shaped chocolate, so sweet.
