MAS DUDA IN THE MIDDLE OF THE CLOUDS
Oranges

My meeting with Sekar, I believe that it has been designed by mother and Wito, initially I refused to attend the wedding let alone be held as a twin mayang carrier.

I did not think that the twin-carrying girl Mayang was my ex-lover, Sekar. If asked if I am happy? of course I'm happy!

I have to thank mom and Wito, if it wasn't for them I'm sure there wouldn't be a chance this good coming my way.

Like me, Sekar was surprised not to think that we would be met in this way, I hope this is a sign that nature and the environment support our matchmaking even though maybe I have to fight hard to grab Sekar's attention from the widower.

"How are you, Kar?" I who first mastered the situation from the shock tried to melt the stiffness between us. However, we once had a past that ended badly.

"Okay" replied Sekar potlasanya. I knew Sekar was uncomfortable with my presence.

Sekar looks more charming with modern kebaya dress but looks simple, Sekar does not change always looks attractive but still.

"When did Kar come?" As much as possible I held Sekar who was about to pass by inviting him to chat, I wanted to linger with him for a long time.

"Well Wan, when are you alone?"

"Wish also Kar, may there be someone I want to marry," I replied as I continued to look at Sekar who was cool playing his finger, a habit Sekar that I very much memorize if he is anxious. Now, who heard my answer, looked stunned. For a moment our eyes were locked ah. how long I missed you.

"A relationship built on a foundation of hurt, it will never last," I smiled bitterly, if you remember that guilt and feeling stupid are always present to judge yourself.

"Well, how's Cahyo, Kar?" A question that might sound normal but not for an ex who still hopes to come back like me.

"Well, Wan." Sekar answered just that.

"How lucky Cahyo is to get you Kar." He only responded with a brief smile.

"Am I allowed to visit your house someday, Kar?

Relax Kar, I won't bother you. At least if we can't be together as a couple, we can be friends." I tried to smile to make sure that my intentions of being friendly with him were sincere.

"I promise that if I go to your house, I'll take my friend so Cahyo won't be mad." Again just a smile for a moment that Sekar displayed.

Hana and Wito's wedding reception is held until the night, as is generally the party in the village. Me and Sekar are the best friends who are ready when they need help.

At first there was a clumsy feeling between us, with great difficulty I tried to melt the situation slowly but surely the frost between us began to fade. We came back familiar but not as familiar as before there was a heart that I had to take care of, Cahyo's heart! ah it's upset.

By nightfall, I who had just carried out the duties of my nephew who was king a day was surprised to see Sekar sitting with a man, who was sitting with a man, this chest feels hot when it recognizes who the man who was with my ex-lover.

This leg that was about to step up to them became urung not when seeing Sekar who tried to release his hand from the grasp of his lover. Are they fighting? They don't look good like they do.

There was jealousy flaring in this chest as I watched with my eyes how Cahyo would not let go of his grasp even though Sekar seemed to refuse to be treated as such.

I was sick, sick of seeing his starving lion-like gaze look at Sekar, I was dying to give Cahyo a special lesson, but I realize it's not natural for lovers to fight and one tries to get sorry?

"Hi how are you?" I ventured to approach them, trying to get stale as well of course. Who knows by approaching this way I can know what is with them, not the intention of kepo but looking for a gap to be able to retake Sekar if it turns out Sekar is not happy. Hahaha how cunning I am.

The yellow janur has not curved, if it is even if there is no agreement, my mind can still fight.

"Well, Wan, haven't we met in a while?" The face of dislike for my presence is clearly drawn on Cahyo's face, but what do I care? Cahyo let go of Sekar's handrails, my heart is happy to see him.

"So when was this announced?" not getting a single answer to my question arrived there were some friends Cahyo came to us.

"Cie who met the ex, shoot again continue to invite to KUA mas, hunt struck by another Sekar, later we will wine rame rame round and go. Will you deck Sekar?" Babe one of his friends. They laughed cheerfully and of course my ears were overheated hearing it.

"Tomorrow I'll go home." Pamit Cahyo's. Sekar just fell silent not to agree or reject it. I have to steal the start if this is what it's gonna be.

🌸🌸🌸

After the departure of Cahyo et al, Sekar was more silent.

Our state that was starting to melt is now frozen again.

"Strickle," call me. Sekar.

"It turns out that our situation is the same now Kar, we become JONES single ngenes," I continued.

Just try to smile but fatally his smile failed.

"Why did you and Sasa break up?" I was surprised but happy at the end Sekar wanted to ask me.

"He's not as good as I thought he was,"

"Oh.." she answered briefly.

"Why did you break up with Cahyo?"

"I never dated him." I'm surprised, didn't Cahyo say they were dating?

"But Cahyo said the time on the beach was..." Just smiling wryly.

Damn I was fooled!

"But.. were you guys?" I write my sentence.

"There was a misunderstanding between us," said he had never dated but now there was a problem, let me ask Wito.

"So who are you now Kar?"

"Well, isn't it now that I'm with you here?" Just trying to make fun.

"I mean, now you're dating who's Kar?"

"I have no intention of going out again Wan." I'm surprised? sure is!

"You're still normal, aren't you?"What kind of question is this? but I'm really afraid that my betrayal of her made her numb to men.

Sir! his hand lightly hit my hand. I reflexively surprised and caught it. For a moment we looked at each other until we were equally aware and I let go of her handrails.

"Look, you think I ate that orange because you left it? Widihhh gede taste you!" answer me with annoyance.

"One lost grows a thousand, you lost there are still many waiting for me," Sekar tilted his lips upwards.

"Thank God Kar, oranges eat oranges not good to know." Selorohku.
