My Love From The Sea
Latitude Steaming

The sound of birds' squeaks and sunlight penetrating the eyelids, made Belva wake up. It was already noon outside and Belva heard the voice of Sagara talking to someone. Female.

Belva. He looked out of the window that was wide open. But it's invisible. Then, Belva decided to peek through the front room.

On the terrace, Belva saw Sagara sitting with a woman in a sky blue dress with no arms long to the ankles. From behind, his hair looks waist-length, straight and braided in half with a sky-blue hair binder as well. The skin of her hands is very smooth and light brown. So clean. No mole let alone daki.

The woman looked back, making Belva quickly pull her head inside.

" Who's there?" the woman asked with a rather high intonation.

Belva did not answer. He had no intention of going out and embarrassing himself. Sitting against a wooden wall, Belva observed her darkened skin. If only here there is a body lotion or bath soap that can brighten the skin, surely Belva skin will not husk and fuse this.

" Belva, come. I'd like to introduce you to someone very important."

That's Sagara's voice. But Belva didn't want to go out. Other than not being confident, he would definitely humiliate Sagara in front of the woman.

" Belva..."

Belva raised his head, seeing that Sagara was already standing there. The man reached out to help Belva stand up.

" I don't want to, Sagara. I'm ashamed," Belva honestly.

" Why should I be ashamed? you're beautiful."

Sagara's speech is like magic that affects Belva's mind. Doubtful, the woman grabbed Sagara's hand and stood up. He was hiding behind Sagara's back.

Arriving at the terrace, the woman in blue sky narrowed and looked to take a strong breath. Then glance at Sagara, as if asking about something that needs to be answered right now.

" yes. He's human," Sagara replied casually. Then lead Belva to sit down.

Seeing the appearance of a woman in a blue dress makes Belva very inferior. That girl is so beautiful. His forehead is not wide, nor is it jenong. Her eyelashes are naturally thick, not embroidered. The eyebrows are long and naturally pliable, not at all looking like eyelash. Her eyes are big like Barbie's. His eyes were as bright blue as those of the white people in the west. His nose is sharp, a little crooked. Lips are thick, natural pink. Really, the color of the lips makes Belva want to ask what brand of lipstick she uses. But, Belva undoes her intentions and prefers silence.

" Is this why you're here?" the beautiful woman asked Sagara.

Sagara gave a big smile. A smile Belva had never seen before. Really, that smile, if seen for too long will be more toxic than cyanide. Hence, Belva directly lowered his head. Before the charm of Sagara makes Belva feel so not careless.

" yes. I don't know what Ayahanda's plan is behind this," Sagara observes the clumsy Belva. Then he touched Belva's chin with his index finger so that the woman would behave normally. No need to be shy. Remembering Belva is usually very shameless.

" His name is Belva" Sagara introduces Belva to the beautiful woman next to him, "Belva Anindira. You just call this girl Belva."

" My name is Lintang Kemukus," the beautiful woman introduced herself as she lowered her head.

Belva bowed his head, "greetings know... Mbak Lintang," reply Belva hesitated.

" Twenty-three," Sagara guessed.

Belva immediately looked at Sagara half in disbelief. How did he know Belva's age? didn't Belva never tell her her age before? Ah, that's stupid. Is not Sagara a mighty creature, the crown prince of the wise ruler of the sea? Belva should not be surprised by that.

The latitude chuckled slowly. It looks like his teeth are white and neat. Even his lethargy looks so graceful, "it's still a toddler!" chirps.

Belva doesn't accept dsn want to protest. However, he broke his intention.

" We haven't even been able to do anything that age," latitude commented again.

Belva doesn't understand what they're talking about. However, if Lintang considers twenty-three years is the age of toddlers and can not be anything, it means... Belva was surprised to realize something. They may be hundreds of years old. Gosh darn. Miraculous, if it is true that they reach hundreds of years old but his face is still like a new ABG graduated High School.

" Sagara, I'll stay near here for some time. I need a vacation on earth. Enjoy the view up close. So, I beg of you to take some time to accompany me," Lintang said her meaning at length.

" I'm not a land creature. Why don't you ask Bhumi or Dhara for help?"

" They want a lot."

Sagara glanced at Belva at a glance, as if asking if it was okay before deciding. However, when there is no answer from Belva, Sagara inevitably has to decide for himself, "but, you do not ask for anything. I don't really know what the land is like. Be realistic about who you ask for help."

The latitude reviews a smile that curves upward perfectly. If as a man, Belva will definitely fall in love to see him. But unfortunately, Belva is female and has fallen in love with Sagara.

" Then let's help me clean up my house, "Lintang intonation is so sumringah. His eyes twinkling showed unparalleled happiness.

Sagara glanced at Belva again, but it was useless. Belva is not very sensitive to her feelings. Doing so is a waste of time. Finally Sagara stood up, following the latitude that had stood first.

" Belva come with me!" bring Sagara.

Belva stood up and was about to grab Sagara's hand. However, his hand has not been up, Lintang hand has already held Sagara's wrist.

" Come, Belva. We work for service."

Belva pulled back her hand and smiled clumsyly. He nodded, walking on the side of Sagara and Lintang chatted about the beautiful expanse of jasmine gardens. Belva, behind them looked at his hands and Sagara's hands alternated. Usually, he is free to hold and brush off the heavy hand at will. But today, there was another hand that was more beautiful and more deserving than hers that was rough and dry.

Why see the happiness in front of him, Belva actually feels not accepted? Really, the scorching rays of the sun pricked his skin twice as much as usual. Belva is hot, but at times like this Sagara doesn't even look back.

Belva was very disappointed. If this is the end, Belva should just stay home. Or walk alone foraging to fill his stomach that began to rumble. I'd love Belva to tell Sagara, but it's not good with latitude. Continuing to tail behind, the overheated Belva began to feel dizzy. Then, he fell. His head hit the gravel road and was unconscious.

Belva fainted from hunger and heat.
