MARRYING OLD GRANDPA
SHY AWAY

Waiting for a while, finally Sky came out of the bathroom, the man was rubbing his wet hair with a towel when Orange approached him and took over the towel that Sky was holding. Orange invites Sky to sit on the dresser chair, their gazes had met from the reflection of mirror glass. Orange smiled even though the sky did not reply.

“You tired?” Ask Orange, her hand moving gently rubbing Sky's wet hair.

The sky nodded in response, for some reason he felt unworthy of the Orange. The fact that he was a child who was present outside of marriage really made his mental fall fall. Initially he was proud to be born in the midst of a distinguished family, harmonious and admired also in the flattery of many people. But it turns out he does not deserve flattery, this time he actually felt embarrassed, dwarf and inferior.

“I'll massage you, lie in bed,” pinta Jingga.

“No need, darling. I just want to rest,” replied Sky. Then the man got up and went up on the bed, lying on his side against the orange that was still silent holding a towel.

“What else is this mas?” Inner Orange, “Is there something you are hiding from me again, mas?

Orange breathed deeply, he exhaled slowly. Then she went to the bathroom to save the towel she had used to rub her husband's hair.

The sky had no intention of hiding anything from the orange, for they had promised to be honest with each other and hide nothing more. But for now, the sky is really not ready to tell a story. Moreover, it turns out that Orange is more entitled to all the property he has from the father including the house they live in now. It takes mental strength to face reality and tell it all to the Orange.

That night, for the first time the sky slept against the orange. Of course the orange felt strange, something was missing from the Sky, that is the habit of the man to sleep hugging him and clasping his hands. Because even though it has been stated to heal from trauma, the sky always holds the hands of Orange when sleeping.

“Mrs Orange doesn't know anything, Sir. He doesn't even know that Mr. Hardi is not his father, I don't think it's fair for you to avoid him.”. At a time like this, Alex was always a friend of Heaven because Heaven does not have any friends.

The sky told Alex that he wanted to avoid the orange because he felt it was inappropriate for her. Although he honestly did not know whether he could avoid the Orange or not, it felt like the Sky would not be able to. But somehow the feeling of shame and inferiority always comes when he is close to the orange.

“Master, Mrs Orange must have felt the change Mr. I hope Mr and Mrs Orange are always happy, as Mr. Hardi said, make the story a memory in the past. Do not make it a hindrance to your life in the present and future. Sir should be happy,” Alex said sincerely.

Every morning, when Orange pairs a tie is the thing that Heaven is waiting for. Because he could tempt his wife and she never fought back until the task of putting a tie was completed. Even up to Orange helped her wear the watch and then made sure everything the Sky was wearing looked perfect. But this morning was really sad, the atmosphere felt very different when the Orange took a step back as the Sky rejected the Orange helped it prepare itself.

The woman looked teary even though her lips still covered a smile.

The sky rubbed his face with a huff, “How can I dispel this feeling, Alex? Unbecoming feeling when I was near Orange,” softly.

“Master, don't feel yourself Sir inappropriate let alone consider yourself a dirty master. Every child is born in a sacred state no matter what the background story behind the presence of the child. Sir is a role model for me, Mr. great man, Mr. good man and best for me. Please do not humble yourself Master, because in fact, only God has the right to judge someone is worthy or not, holy or not and good or bad.”

“Then, do I have to tell everything to Orange?” Ask the Sky again.

Alex nodded, “I think I should, Sir. Do not let Madam Orange hear again from others even though from Mr. Hardi.”

“Alright, I'll try it.”

Alex smiled sincerely, he was happy to hear the decision of the Sky, “And I am sure Madam Orange will not dispute it Sir. Madam a sincere person, she loves Mr.” very much

“I will try to steady myself for the sake of Orange,” Sky said again.

“That's better than Tuan keep thinking about whether or not Mr. for madam Jingga.”

The sky chuckles, he throws a ballpoint pen at Alex. Alex caught it, they laughed without a sound.
