Because, I Love You
#BILYS3 238

The morning has arrived...

The rainbow is still lounging to wake up from its sleep, as it is still a holiday. So the opportunity for him to linger in bed, it's okay to skip breakfast he thought.

His phone rang, an incoming call ignored him. He prefers to keep his eyes closed which are still sleepy.

His phone rang again after a while had passed, this time it had already rang for the second time. With forced Rainbow opened his eyes slightly narrowed, he saw the name Joe calling on the screen of his cellphone. Instantly his eyes opened wide and touched the screen to receive his call.

"Ha,hi.. You, you awake?" Say hello to Joe at the end of his phone when Rainbow receives his phone call.

"D, Eh.. I, ehhem. I just woke up" replied the clumsy Rainbow. Somehow he got a little nervous, even though they were talking on the phone.

"Huh, you lazy bastard."

"What do you care?"

"You want to meet?" Joe asked spontaneously.

Rainbow surprised at Joe's question who suddenly wanted to invite him to meet.

"Alright, in the usual place." Answer the rainbow.

"Hem, 10 o'clock we'll meet there."

"okay."

"Eh, wait, Langi..." Joe called him back when he knew Rainbow was going to turn off his phone.

"Hem, huh?"

"Don't miss your breakfast, you'll be sick."

"Ah, yes. Sure, you too. Yea..."

Beep beep...

Rainbow ended Joe's phone call for him this morning. Then she stared at the ceiling of her room for a moment, she smiled to herself blushing in embarrassment. Then it turned lazy and cold back.

"Don't be happy, Rainbow. You have to assert how your relationship will continue." He said, then immediately woke up quickly when he realized the clock had shown at 8 am.

"Geez, I think it's 6 in the morning. It's true that Joe told me to have breakfast at this hour, huh. Bummer!!!" Then the rainbow rushed towards the bathroom.

After finishing his self-improvement, he exited the room by going down the stairs to look for me. He is now near the pool to accompany the twins swimming.

"Ma..." Call the Rainbow spoiled.

"Eh, you're awake, son? Huh, again you passed your breakfast, mama and aunty have repeatedly knocked on your door quite hard. But you seem so good,"

"Sorry, Ma. Rainbows really want to enjoy the final seconds of a long vacation. After returning to school I will no longer enjoy my bed in the morning any longer." Rainbow answered while grabbing a piece of strawberry jam-filled toast, which I prepared for the twins.

"Lately you've been through your breakfast a lot, it's not good. You'll be fat, not beautiful anymore."

"Ih, mama. Rainbows don't want fat, from tomorrow I won't wake up late again, Ma."

"Hmmm... All right, but by the way are there any plans out today?" Ask her, when I see her in a sweeter, tidier suit.

"Ah, yes. Um, Rainbow permission out huh Mi. I have a little business outside, can I?"

I looked at him silently, seeing that a little something had changed from the look on his face.

"May, be careful on the road. Need some pocket money?"

"No, Ma. Papa gave me a black card a week ago, ups..."

"What??? Oh my goodness, that papa of yours. Love spoiling kids too much, remember son. Don't be wasteful, okay."

"Every boss," replied Rainbow with a hand position giving a sign of respect like a flag ceremony.

Long we talked to each other many things later, until Rainbow glanced at the clock that was coiled around his wrist. He stood up from his sitting position since then, saying goodbye to leave in spirit. It was as if in a hurry to get to where he was going.

🌻🌻🌻

Arriving at a cafe Lucas, Rainbow and Joe are always choosing a cafe Lucas as a place to meet and hang out together in leisure without his three friends.

The rainbow was already sitting in an ordinary place, a special room that was slightly cornered. The place was already known from the beginning to be the choice of Rainbow and its friends, therefore it should only be occupied by them.

"Hey.." Say hello to Joe when the Rainbow has sat first with a menu that has since been back and forth without stopping.

"Ha, hi.." Welcome Rainbow clumsily, she looks a little gerogi. When Joe just sat down next to him.

"Sorry, I'm a little late."

"She, gapapa. I haven't been here long, either, hehe."

Then the two were silent without a word, awkward each other and trying to stay as comfortable as possible to hide the gerogi between them.

"Well, what is this feeling?" Joe took a little long breath.

"You mean?" Ask Rainbow wonder.

"Yes, we are at the moment. Impressed to have just met, can't we be as usual?"

"Don't you, since then, not you Joe?"

"Eh, that's delicious. You know, who deliberately always take your eyes off me. Aye right?"

"So you're sure that the meeting was just for this?" Asked Rainbow in a cold tone.

Slowly Joe grabbed both hands of Rainbow to hold it. Joe threw a warm smile as Rainbow furrowed both of his eyebrows looking at him.

"Clear, I'm sorry. Please don't be angry again, don't misunderstand Maria. Plis, Maria and I are just normal friends. Nothing special, our relationship is only limited between brother and sister more precisely."

The rainbow raised one of his eyebrows upwards looking at his girlfriend's face.

Maybe I was overreacting. Jealous of him and of Maria who was obviously the one who was always spoiled and flirtatious to Joe. Joe only considers him a friend.

"Alright, I'm also bored if our relationship that has just been running for a few months has had to crack just because of the third person. I'm sorry, too, Joe. I'm too selfish and don't trust you."

"Let's start again our relationship to stay intact, trusting each other and much more perfect. We have to keep this relationship together to stay good in the future, you want to promise, right?" Joe said.

The rainbow nodded in agreement.

"Eh but, Joe.. There's something I want to emphasize with you."

"I don't know if this is true or not, but I'm a woman. As hard and cold as my heart may be, I am indifferent to circumstances, but I also have one weakness. I don't like any other woman being so clingy to my man, especially that man is my girlfriend. Don't I have the right to ask that man to respect my status?"

Joe was a little stunned. He did not expect if Rainbow would issue such a word, all this time he knew Rainbow always enjoy and careless in terms of dating affairs. But this time, no. It seems like he is starting to understand the real relationship, the main point is to respect each other's status and position.

"I understand, baby. Anyway, at the moment, I just love you. In my eyes you're the most important and foremost, you believe me right, Langi?" Joe asked with a face.

"Hm... Let's see, can you really be on trial, Joe?"

"God.. Langi, so you don't trust me anymore?"

"Hahaha, I was just kidding. Why do you feel like I threatened you just now, huh?"

The cup!!!

Joe starts the action again, peeping a short Rainbow lip. Steal the opportunity when the rainbow is off-guard from the situation, then the Rainbow feels ashamed to make it. Joe pulls him in a hug, unmitigated Rainbow wrapping his hand around Joe's body.

They went back to making up as they were. They talk to each other again, joke, mock each other occasionally, until Joe's phone rings. Judging from Joe's phone screen, Abel called him. Joe frowned, unlike usual when Joe quaternary Abel called him.

"Hello, yes Mi. What's up?" Joe asked after receiving the call.

Then Joe got up from his seat with a surprised expression.

"Oh my goodness, there's a child." Answer it again.

"Ehm, okay mom. I'm going home with Langi now." He hastily answered and then turned off the call.

"What's up, Joe?" Ask Rainbow in panic.

"Hmm, will you come to the house today, Langi?"

"Yes, but what's up Joe? Who just called Aunt Abel, right?"

"Huh, this is about Maria. The kid's just making a fuss,"

Hearing Maria's name, Rainbow changed the sour expression on her face.

"So he's still home?"

Joe hesitated.

"Come, Langi. Don't be angry anymore, right now I'm the only one who can stop her from crying."

Back Rainbow raised his eyebrows high.

"Are you the baby sister?"

"Then I took you home to trust me. It's not what you think it is today."

Hah, just got better. Should I be upset again? Somehow I feel like he's purposely trying to get Joe's attention when he's with me, right???

"All right, come on." Reply Rainbow.

🌻🌻🌻

Entering Joe's yard, Rainbow follows Joe's car from behind to park his car in his yard. Joe gets out of the car first and rushes in, the rainbow catches up with him then without Joe turning his head first.

"Joe, huh... I really don't know what else to do to make her stop crying like a kid." Abel explained as Joe entered the room. Then immediately find Maria her room.

"Hello, aunt." Sapa Rainbow then.

"eeh, myjob... Rainbow, uh baby." Greet Abel then hug and put both cheeks on the cheeks of the Rainbow.

"I'm sorry, auntie. Already interfered with your date today, it's because aunty is not at home with Maria's spoiled attitude." Whisper Abel with a soft voice in the rainbow.

"Ehm, gapapa aunt. Where is Maria now? What's wrong with him, auntie?"

"Huh, actually this is so embarrassing. He just scratched the fruit knife a little, then bled. But it made him hysterical until he almost fell unconscious. He just kept crying nonstop, aunt tired of hearing him cry like a child."

Crazy not really, just a small scratch wound once he got hysterical to the point of almost passing out? Isn't that ridiculous?

"O, uh.. All right, then can I see Maria, auntie?"

"Of course you can dong, baby. He's in the room, Joe's already approaching him."

Joe walked up to her room? So they are currently in one room? Jesus, Joe. You're passing!!!

"OK on, aunt. I went to see him first" replied Rainbow by forcing his smile behind the vexation that now enveloped him.

With a slightly hasty step Rainbow towards the guest room that Abel pointed out earlier, the room was closed. Though Joe and Maria are inside her, it further sets Rainbow back as if it is burning in her heart. Then he touched the doorknob of the room, there was a slight feeling of fear. What if something happens that does not want Rainbow to see again, because his heart has not ended properly from the anger in Joe before.

Hello, Rainbow. Come quickly open the door, what are you thinking about again? Don't imagine anything bad, just be sure. Joe's inside just to calm Maria down.

Bathin Rainbow rages on its own. Therefore he pressed the doorknob slowly to help her open the room door, Rainbow took a deep breath. When he saw Mary hugging Joe's body, while Joe stroked softly Mary's wavy hair.

"Here, don't cry anymore. It's okay, it's just a small scratch. After all, you do not want to cut your own fruit. There's either mommy, or the mbok." Joe calmed her down.

"That's because I'm upset, you didn't take me out for a walk. You just leave," answered Maria whining spoiled. While the rainbow is still reluctant to make a sound, its steps are still in place. His mouth was locked seeing Joe so warmly treating Mary in his arms affectionately.

But did they not realize or hear the sound of the door opening? They are too engrossed together with a friendly cuddling position.

"Huh, I'm sorry. Didn't I tell you last night, if today I had a date with my boyfriend. I have to see him first. Can't you just don't act this day?"

"Joe, I have to come back tomorrow. You should care more and spend time with me, because here I only have you as a friend."

"Yes, yeah. Tomorrow I'll take you for a walk, don't cry anymore."

"really? You promise, Joe?" Maria asked cheerfully from her tone. The rainbow took a deep breath back.

"Yes, I promise. Then let go of your embrace first, outside there's my boyfriend. Rainbow, I don't want him to misunderstand later.

"What's? So you brought that girl here?" Maria asked annoyed.

"You're starting again, Maria. We've made a deal on this, don't dispute it anymore. She's my girlfriend!!!" Joe replied firmly then trying to stretch Maria's embrace. But Maria refused, only to tighten the circle of both hands on Joe's waist.

The rainbow began to growl.

"Joe!!!" Call later. Joe looked a little unsteady to take Mary off, and looked back. Joe was surprised, he could not believe that the Rainbow would overtake him and enter the room.

"Repeat, I..."

"Polite, you can't knock on the door. Why did you come into this room anyway?" Maria rebuked him with a snapping tone.
