Dusk Above the Horizon
I miss you

She's gorgeous!.

Your eyes are very observant to see a girl.

it was a line of messages sent by her older sister to Cakra.

the man was seen silently staring at some of the photos in front of him, sliding one by one the photos slowly where his eyeballs continued to stare sharply at the photos, it was Dusk with several different appearances.

there was not at all a smile or lips raised upwards while reading the praise given by her brother.

Pretty?!.

The man stared stiffly at the last photo of Dusk, watching the girl who was seen laughing loosely while looking forward, as if he wanted to talk to someone there.

Unfortunately, he doesn't care about the girl at all.

Cakra did not make any sound at all, in the end he chose to put his phone on the table then turned back towards the big glass window, his eyeballs staring back towards the front.

for a moment the man's eyeball closed, he tried to inhale the aroma around his office for some time, then remembered some memories that he had longed for.

*****

back to the past

SMK state 2

2004 Lubuklinggau.

Tinkggggg.

tongggggg.

when the sound of the bell coming home from school was heard filling the entire contents of the vocational high school, the students continued to be busy fixing the entire contents of their bags, putting one by one a notebook and a printed book into the bag of each student, he said, do not even forget to check the drawer below whether there are items left there while the teachers are still busy wanting to explain the rest of the learning in front of the black dominating black board where the rows the colorful chalk, especially white, still adorns the learning board.

seeing that the students were busy and preparing to rush home, the teachers could only experience their breathing putting back the chalk and then choosing to sit on their chairs.

when the voice of the class leader echoed filled the classroom, each student, both male and female, immediately stood up from their positions while following the class leader who began to pray.

the chanting of back-to-school prayers sounded filled the entire contents of the classroom both from grade 1 to grade 3 both selected and discarded classes.

actually there are no wasted classes but sometimes children in the final class become residents who are considered wasted because of the level of delinquency and also difficult to manage all the children there.

if they are not a subscription to BP teachers then they are not considered great as the end class or last class.

after the prayer was finished, the students rushed out of the classroom but waited for the teacher to start coming out of the classroom door.

a beautiful girl without coming out hurriedly headed towards the front regardless of the people around her.

"Jelita...where are you?"

one scream echoed behind the girl, Instead of answering she preferred to wave her palm.

"i'm sure his girlfriend from the city must have come to visit"

one friend spoke quickly while chuckling.

"Oh mother.I shouldn't be Jodi aleas singles"

again there was the sound of the unassuming piety of each other when the nettle had begun to disappear from before them.

the girl moved towards the front gate, with a flowery feeling and a heart that kept beating vigorously, believe me, nothing is more stressful than when you have someone so special at heart.

Cakras.

The handsome man had been standing right in front of the school gate, widening his smile while welcoming Jelita's arrival.

"Cakra..."

the girl waved her hand with great pleasure, continuing to run around towards the man at the other end with a thumping feeling.

"When's it coming?"

Jelita asked quickly.

"Ba'da dawn"

They moved slowly, heading towards the RX-KING motor parked on the left side of the school.

Jelita develops her smile, choosing to sit behind Cakra while receiving a walkman suddenly given by the man.

"I'm going to give you a song to remember all our time"

Speak the chakras quickly.

the girl did not answer, leaving her next to the headset attached to one of her ears.

"Remember this song if you and I miss each other."

Speak the Cakra later.

the song began to sound behind the walkman.

Chrissy

Love stories at school.

Restless and restless

Waiting here

In the corner of the school

The place you promised

Wanna see me

Although it steals time

Lying to the teacher

Shame on me shame

On red ants

Which line up on the wall

Staring at me suspiciously

As if full of questions

"What's right here?"

"Waiting for a boyfriend, "I replied

Along the way the song continues to kick endlessly, linking two hearts that love each other endlessly.

****

Back to the present.

I miss that time, Jelita, decades have passed.

The man leaned back in his work chair, choosing to close his eyeballs while letting his tear circles just fall.

I really miss you.

*****

Notes \=

Like Cakra, we who are in that time must also miss the past, unable to repeat but often think if time could I turn back like that time.

I miss you.

Lubuklinggau, October 20, 2022.

in that time, 2001-2004 that somehow long has passed.
