Bvelva feels like a fool for eating the unusual look of Bhumi. Every now and then he glanced at Sagara who was constantly invited to chat by Lintang without stopping. To the extent that, Belva can feel if Sagara is somewhat upset with Latitude.
" Are you vegetarian?" Bhumi looked at Belva with his chin up.
Belva nodded stiffly. Still scared to see Bhumi. Moreover, he had actually seen the snake turn into Bhumi. It was really horrible.
" What are you thinking?"
Bhumi's question caught the attention of Sagara and Lintang. The two people who replied to each other were now both looking at Bhumi while frowning.
" Ekhm!" realizing that he was being looked at like an inmate, Bhumi cleared his throat, then changed his seat to face Belva now facing the vast expanse of jasmine gardens ahead, "why are you so?" the question is without looking at Sagara and Lintang at all.
" Bhumi, you can repeat...what did you say?" Lintang just wanted to make sure if his ears were still normal.
Bhumi chuckled, "i'm just pretending!"
" yes. I already know. You are good at pretending!" Latitude chimed.
" Latitude, can you just shut up?"
" Okay, I'm quiet. But. There's a condition."
" I don't want to go to the sky palace!" Bhumi immediately knew what Lintang was born with. Obviously he refused. He could not allow himself to be melancholic in front of Wulan.
In the midst of a light squabble between Lintang and Bhumi, Sagara tries to empty his mind and lock it so that Bhumi can't steal his brain contents. Observing the Belva nearing completion, Sagara is suspicious of something. He was sure, Bhumi really said about what Belva thinks. Was that snake incarnate creature also unable to penetrate Belva's mind?
If so, it means Bhumi's presence here is not without reason. His desire to get to know Belva further must be because there is something that makes Bhumi curious. Is it just a matter of Belva's mind being impenetrable to Bhumi? And Sagara too.
" Are you done?" Sagara sees Belva pushing her plate away.
Belva nodded. While looking at Bhumi and Lintang who are still fighting. Despite not knowing what they were talking about, hearing their voices gave Belva a headache. Understandably, Belva prefers silence over crowds.
" Let's go home" Sagara whispered and stood up. Help Belva to stand up. Then walk the two leaving Bhumi and Lintang.
For some reason, Sagara does not care about his two friends. At all. He thought only of Belva, Belva and Belva. Especially after hearing Bhumi's words. If Belva is indeed impenetrable, Sagara's lover has power in him. And it could be in danger if any other creature knows about this.
" Safety!" Lintang shouted, standing chasing Sagara and Belva who were not too far away.
Sagara reflexes grasping Belva's hand. Later, it receives a strange view from Bhumi. But Sagara doesn't care. Bhumi is often like that. The contents of his head were unpredictable.
" Well, why are your hands so tight, Sagara?" The latitude screeches, while walking ahead of Sagara and Belva who are still holding each other.
" Why are you suddenly weird?" bhumi asked. He observed how tightly Sagara grasped Belva's hand. As if I didn't want to lose that woman.
" Belva, you take it easy" Sagara whispered in Belva's ear in a low voice, barely audible so that Bhumi's very sensitive ears could not hear him.
" I'm scared, Sagara. Bhumi is very creepy," Belva replied to Sagara's whisper no less slowly. He also tries to keep his mind from getting dirty as Sagara says. So that he can keep his head secret.
" I heard your conversation," Bhumi suddenly said without turning his head, "remember, my ears can even hear the torment of the grave!"
Suddenly Belva shuddered in horror. His left hand held Sagara's hand so tightly. Apparently, Belva has been wrong if he considers Sagara to be a powerful mandraguna creature. In fact, now he sees a more powerful figure than Sagara. The magic figure with its dark aura.
Belva runs while occasionally glancing at Sagara next to him. Somehow, he saw there was a different with Sagara this afternoon. Unlike usual calm, now Sagara's face looks more tense. Although actually the tension does not reduce the level of good looks, but still. Belva is getting scared. In fact, Sagara repeatedly told him to calm down.
To be honest, with the existence of Bhumi and Latang, Belva felt riled up. He could not just tell Sagara as usual. He was just afraid of being cursed to be a useless creature that filled the universe.
" Why are your dwellings so bright, anyway?" Bhumi grumbled to himself. The man was already sitting on the wooden terrace looking at Belva from toe to head.
" If you don't like the light, go back to where you live in the cave!" The latitude answered. Despite appearing unfriendly to Bhumi, Lintang did not hesitate to sit next to Bhumi.
Belva and Sagara chose to go into the room. They're sitting on bale.
" Sagara, are you worried?" Belva opened the conversation.
Sagara shook his head, "Why should I be anxious?"
Yep. Also true. Now they are sitting with each other. Hearing sounds from outside that are very noisy. Then, the conversation slowly faded. Sagara stood up, looking up from the window. Apparently Lintang and Bhumi are no longer sitting around mocking each other on the terrace. Sagara saw the two men walking side by side on the path to the Lintang house.
Mercifully. After a long time, they finally found peace. And even more grateful, Bhumi was getting away. Which means, the man's hearing could not have come here. After all, Bhumi had a weakness. The man could only read people's minds from a certain distance. And also the strength of his ears. If Bhumi plays to Lintang house, it means Sagara can already let his mind wander as he pleases again. Talk is not necessary whispers.
Sagara heaved a sigh of relief and again sat down next to Belva, "they're gone."
Belva also breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, Belva could feel the calmness he had previously felt.
" Belva, what did Bhumi say about what you were thinking?" Sagara wants to make sure he doesn't hear wrong.
" Yes, Sagara."
Right, guys? Sagara did not hear wrong. Is that guy really unable to penetrate Belva's mind? Sagara looked at Belva in surprise. If so, it means that her lover is a very special human being. And Sagara sure, Belva who had entered his room at the sea palace at that time was also related to this privilege that he had. But, what power does Belva have? Is his love that is increasingly unbearable also because of that privilege? Sagara's confused. But he could not take his eyes off Belva who looked back at him. No. gabe. Sagara could not help himself to remain silent.
Sagara kisses Belva's lips.
