"Aahh shit!" maki Dusk in her shoes with a little run towards the elevator of her apartment.
Today he had to collect the task of the design results to one of the most annoying lecturers during his education at FIT. The most stingy and craziest lecturer of time.
Mrs.Julie is most unhappy if there are students who are late to collect assignments. Even if it's only a few minutes. Believe me, Mrs.Julie does not hesitate to reduce your value even though your task is perfect.
During this Dusk most avoid problems with this one lecturer. But last night he even fell asleep before dawn after being anxious waiting for an orange in Jakarta who was struggling to give birth.
Waking up in the morning Jakarta time, Jingga felt a contraction and immediately rushed to the hospital.
The difference in time that reaches eleven hours makes Dusk feel worried and unable to sleep. Because Jingga just gave birth at two noon Jakarta which means that it was in NY only three in the morning.
Dusk was anxious for hours from the moment his mother gave him the news when he was just coming home from college. He ended up only sleeping a few hours and now he has to race with his latest car to get to campus immediately before his value is threatened.
Only use jeans and blouses that are combined with sneakers.
Don't mistake. Dusk has not changed much about the dress model. Because the girl from the beginning has appeared stylish.
The only difference now is, Dusk which has also often used dresses and high heels. Whether it's stillto, wedges or even high-heeled boots that become his everyday style.
Except for certain days like today that he needs his favorite sneakers to run to the lecturer room which even though today there is no class schedule. But infuriatingly asked for a task to collect that day.
"Maureen.." cried Dusk when he saw the only friend he had walking in the corridor. Because others cannot be called friends. They are too absorbed in their own world. Only Maureen always took the time to accompany him who was a kara in the land of people.
"Yes God! didn't you sleep last night, Dusk?" maureen asked in shock at the dark circles around Dusk's eyes.
Maureen knows, Dusk is a girl who used to sleep on time with a bedtime that is always enough. So if the girl had a little trouble with her sleep, it was immediately obvious dark circles in both eyes.
"Yeeahhhhhhhhhh.. I can barely even sleep." she lamented to Maureen. "Wait here for a second. I'll collect my duties first. And after this you must accompany me for food. I haven't eaten since last night."
Not yet Maureen replied, Dusk had already entered their lecturer's room. Makes his best friend tickle.
Maureen is one year older than Dusk. So that the girl already considers Dusk as her own sister. Even with his family who always accept the presence of Dusk with no less warm as a family.
***
Sitting in the world's largest Coffe Shop from America, Dusk ordered a sandwich and Caramel Macchiato. Dusk does not like black coffee that really tastes coffee.
Maureen ordered Coffe Americano. Because I had breakfast at home.
"So, why can't you sleep?"
"My sister gave birth. I was worried waiting for him." replied Dusk by twitching his shoulders. "And I miss coming home." he added.
The first month of Dusk passed with tears. Not feeling at home, family kangen, every night he felt.
He thought it was easy to stay away from family. He thinks he can. But it's actually very heavy. Believe this.
When it is daytime and has activities he can shift his longing. But as soon as he arrived at the apartment that was so quiet, solitude greeted him and increasingly left him shackled with grief.
Until he meets Maureen and wants to stay in her apartment for some time until he can adjust.
But once Tiara and Alvaro invited Dusk to go home to Jakarta, Dusk refused loudly and quibbled just not used to it. To ask his parents to reduce the visiting time by once a month, which continues every two months. Until now even six months they have just met.
"Semester's holiday soon. You can go home with them."
"Yeah.. I can't wait for the time to pass."
"Waahhhh you've been dying to leave me?" maureen said with a contrived wounded expression holding her chest.
Dusk chuckled and moved to sit next to Maureen to be able to hug her best friend. "You know that's not what I mean, baby."
Maureen is everything for Dusk. The girl can act as a friend, sister and even mother.
The promiscuity that is so free there makes Maureen keep the friend tight. Although even Maureen once invited to stay and sleep with her lover in the twilight apartment. You know what "sleep" means here? yes that's how Maureen, s*sual relationship is not taboo there. But Maureen always selects men who want to approach Dusk. No he let his best friend fall for the same thing as them.
Even though Dusk often come to the night club. The girl had to settle for a glass of orange juice even though she sometimes whined at Maureen to taste what her friends often drank there.
But Maureen is the mother form for Dusk in such a situation. The girl would continue to lecture him about health and so on.
Despite his annoyance, Dusk still complies with Maureen. Because Dusk realized it was for his own good.
Basque. Even though it is still on the same continent. And even it only takes no more than four hours by car, they never met at all.
Since the breakdown of their relationship a few years ago, they have never been in contact with each other. Even to exchange news.
Dusk only knew about Baskara's news from his mother's story when Baskara returned home from his first semester break yesterday.
Unlike the ones we often visit. Baskara must be willing to be completely independent from the family.
Both of Baskara's parents are busy. It is very difficult to manage the time to visit Massachusetts, where Baskara studied at MIT.
"What about Robert?" maureen's question awakens Dusk from her daydream about Baskara. Although it feels like he has no taste anymore in that one man. But since they've been friends since infancy, so it's hard to forget.
"Nothing special. He never said anything either." Robert was one of the men close to him. But for Dusk they were just friends. So did Robert who never stated anything strange, such as like or even love.
