My Love From The Sea
Bhumis

" Latitude, what exactly is the reason you decided to stay here for a while?" Sagara leaned his back against the wooden wall behind him. Dark skies. The moon only shows half the way. But, there are quite a number of stars that indicate if the weather tonight is very sunny.

" I miss you, Sagara. You know, I came all the way down from the sky palace and drowned myself into the sea palace just wanting to meet you," Latitude shifted her seat to get closer to Sagara. He rests his head on Sagara's folded legs. Latitude honest. He misses Sagara a lot. He looked at the sky that was not supportive at all. Wulan knew that the latitude was on earth. But, he was hiding his light. Just watch out if Lintang returns to the sky palace!

" That's all? you sure there's no other mission?" Sagara does not believe. He has been friends with Lintang since he was a baby. Sagara is so aware of the character Lintang that it is impossible to bother yourself if there is nothing he wants.

" That's all. There's no other mission."

Sagara knows Lintang is lying. He could not read the minds of such creatures, let alone feel their feelings. But, Sagara never fad to learn one of the branches of science that humans know as the Science of Psychology. Sagara can feel Lintang lying from the tone of his speech and the look on his face.

" Sagara, do you like that girl?"

Suddenly, Lintang discussed something else. Make Sagara more confident if Latitude presence Latitude here not only because of longing for Sagara.

" yes. We've been officially dating, yesterday."

" Are you happy to have a human girlfriend?"

Sagara continued to observe Lintang, "didn't you also often date humans? why do I need to know my answer?"

" yes. I often date humans. But they only have what they want. They're never sincere with creatures like us."

This is also not the first time Sagara has been in a relationship with humans. He has been married to humans many times. Of course because his father told him to. But, Sagara never found sincerity. The man she married wanted only something mortal. Something that they consider to be very meaningful in their world, but meaningless in the world of Sagara. They're all greedy.

But, he had once fallen in love with a very kind human being. A princess from the kingdom of Samudera Pasai. She is very beautiful and good. But that's just Sagara's past. It's been a long time. In fact, Sagara does not want to remember it anymore. Because remembering the princess, making his chest can pound pain.

" Yes, right, Sagara?" The star asked again. As if to emphasize the previous question. He wanted a serious answer from Sagara.

" Yes."

" Why do you feel like you're in love with that woman?"

Sagara did not answer. He plays Latitude hair with his fingers. Sagara always likes to comb her soft Latitude hair with her big fingers.

" Sandara..."

" I don't know, Latitude. Don't ask about it again," somehow Sagara does not want Lintang to discuss about his love again. After all, Sagara does not know why he can fall in love with a human who wants as much as Belva.

Latitude according. Now you shut up. Closing his eyes while enjoying the cold night breeze pierced his clean skin.

" You should never mess with feelings, Sagara," Lintang suddenly said. Slowly almost glimpsed, but he was serious.

Sagara knows. He never played with feelings. Let alone the sincere human feelings and never eating animals.

" Oh, is he a vegetarian?" obviously Lintang thinks so, because Sagara is the type of man who respects living things. Whatever. Including animals. Because animals have blood, that's why. Plants are all living creatures, but they have no blood.

The latitude is getting curious. Sagara chose silence. Letting silence cover them. Until then Sagara heard a very clear hissing sound. His voice was very close to her. Fortunately, it's not in the bale anymore. If that happens, Sagara promises to shower the creature with electric eels.

Not knowing when the snake moved away from his feet, Lintang suddenly saw the figure of a tan-skinned man with dark brown hair laughing in front of him. It let out a loud sound and could wake up the troublesome Belva.

" Hush!" Lintang told Bhumi not to be noisy.

The tall thin man walked towards Latitude and Sagara. Sitting next to Lintang while facing the sky.

" Why don't you visit my palace, Lintang?" Bhumi asked. Feeling unappreciated because a celestial angel like Lintang stopped by the earth but did not stop by the earth palace.

" Not yet," Latitude caved.

" I'm not sure" Bhumi did not believe. Because to be honest, the man had been stalking Lintang since in the mangrove forest.

The latitude prefers silence. Lazy arguing with Bhumi. Other than Earth being four hundred years older than himself and Sagara, the man was also unbelievable. All his friends knew that the Earth was the liar and the king of black magic who most misled people.

" I know what you're thinking, Lintang," Bhumi reminded, "keep your mind."

The latitude becomes self-inflicted. Why would Bhumi even bother to come here?

" Want me to answer?"

" No need!"

" Good, then."

Silent. Crickets are getting louder and louder.

" Latitude, how's Wulan?" bhumi's voice broke the silence.

" good. Very good," replied Lintang. As if scorned Bhumi, if his sister has a very good life despite not being married to Bhumi.

" Thankfully. I miss him, Lintang."

" Play once in a while to the sky palace. Who knows Wulan to your chubby again for the second time," again, Latitude like scorn. The woman knew that Bhumi would never set foot in the sky palace because she could not resist feeling towards Wulan.

" You're such a know-it-all, latitude!"

Silent again. Now, Bhumi glanced at Sagara who looked troubled. The man lost two hundred percent of his good looks if he was upset like that.

" Don't look at me like that, Bhumi!" Sagara glanced at Bhumi who looked annoying. Although Bhumi is his friend, Bhumi's whereabouts here is not his wish. Sagara was still wondering why Bhumi dared to go up to the bale and look at Belva like that.

" Sagara, it looks like we'll have some business in a moment," Bhumi put on a slanted smile.

Sagara. But lazy to ask. Bhumi always liked to give him trouble. What business does Earth mean is the problem that the man is planning?
