So In Love
EP. 12. She Smiles

********

The sky walked towards the basement parking lot of the hospital with a smile as bright as his face. Ever since he woke up in bed, the sky was already impatiently waiting for the lunch hour to come.

Clearly, today he was going to have lunch with Shien, the girl who had been troubling his heart lately. He hoped that the girl would not forget her promise today. Ehh, actually Shien never promised anything. The sky itself forced the girl to treat him. To be exact, he wished Shien had come.

Although this seemed too fast, Sky had already chosen to give his heart to Shien, whatever the consequences. He knew Shien was sick and he didn't care. Disease can be cured, right? There is a God, and there is a doctor as an intermediary to heal him.

The sky smiled amusedly. Ahh, he was already very confident of being able to get the girl. True said Papa and his friends, this time he had to act quickly. He does not want events like his first love to happen again. The sky should get Shien's heart as fast as possible, before he's taken people or dropped his heart on others.

Upon arrival at the restaurant, Sky had yet to see Shien at the table he had already reserved. Before he left, he sent her a message. Staying positive, Sky thought Shien would come late and he would wait for him.

However, after more than an hour of waiting, Shien did not come.

The sky then checked the message he had sent to Shien. He let out a weak breath when he saw that the two ticks had not turned blue, which meant that Shien had not read the message.

He saw a Rolex watch that was coiled around his wrist while frowning. “Still plenty of time.” He murmured in his heart while smiling wryly. Lucky this afternoon he was free, he also did not need to pick up Shanna back later in the afternoon because the girl said she did not go to work.

“Do not expect to dodge, Shien.” The sky grinned, before he moved from his seat.

The sky searches for the girl to his office, but the receptionist says Shien didn't go to work today. Not giving up, he contacted Shien, but the girl ignored his call.

The sky returned to drive his car out of the office yard. He exhaled heavily, Sky did not know where to look for Shien. Looks like giving up this time. There is still tomorrow.

Before long, he pulled his car over on the side of the road, just across the park. A beautiful park that has a basketball court in the middle and several garden chairs on the edges. He hadn't set foot here in a long time.

Formerly this park was the escape place when his heart was sad, when he could not bear to see the proximity of Blue with Orange in the hospital, he always went here and played basketball until his body was tired.

But not now. He decided to enter the park just to spend the lunch he had bought just take away at the restaurant. He was hoping to eat it with Shien in his office. But it seemed like he had to spend himself two servings of tuna sandwiches he bought.

The Eye of Heaven narrowed as from a distance his gaze caught a girl leaning against a tree with her head slammed to the left and right. Then subconsciously, the Sky leg stepped closer to the girl.

How surprised Heaven was, when he found that the girl sitting leaning against the tree was Shien. The girl was there and fell asleep.

“Sleep haphazardly.” The sky tickled amusedly. He squatted right next to Shien. Watching the girl who was sleeping in any place.

Shien looks very sweet while asleep. His stumbling head, he wanted to feel like he was holding it and resting it on his shoulders.

The next second, Sky was shocked when he saw the girl almost drop her body to the ground. Her hand almost grabbed Shien's body, but the girl woke up first.

The sky continued to observe Shien who seemed to have yet to realize his existence. The girl looked dazed as she opened her eyes. He frowned when he saw Shien hissing while holding his head. Is that girl sick again? Concerns instantly crept in his heart.

But, as soon as he smiled amusedly when he heard Shien's stomach ringing, he also saw the girl holding onto his stomach with a funny expression. Then, he immediately picked up the fresh drink he had bought, then pressed it against Shien's cheek.

“Photosynthesis. . .” The sudden cry of Heaven made the girl gasp in shock and automatically turned to her by putting on a confused look. Confused as suddenly the Sky was before him at this moment.

“Not to be confused. Even if you go far away to avoid me, I will definitely find you.” Said Sky confidently, whereas earlier he accidentally found Shien in sina.

“Tck, who is dodging?” Shien said, turning his face away, throwing his gaze in any direction.

“Keep, why don't you come for lunch with me? I'm sure you read my message yesterday.” The sky then sat itself by leaning against the tree, making Shien reflexively shift his body to make distance.

“What to pay by that way?” Shien asked back. “I don't have time.” Added lazy Shien.

“But you have time to fall asleep here.” The Celestial Cock that Shien had not been afraid of.

“I don't want to hear your rejection anymore. You remain indebted to treat me to lunch and dinner three times.” The sky reaffirmed. Shien who heard it only snorted.

“Tracts doang, right?” Ask Shien to make sure. The sky responded with a nod of the head.

“Oke.” Shien said with a sly smile on the corner of his lips. He has found a way to still be able to pay his debts without having to meet each other.

“Do not try to dodge again.” Sky intensify. “Hmm.” Sahut Shien brief.

“Then it is, I go first.” Flank Shien and get ready to move, but Heaven restrains his arm.

“Where are you?” Ask Sky without letting go of his hand checks on Shien's wrist.

Shien glanced at him stifled. “It’s not your business.” Then he threw out Heaven's hand, but to no avail. The man blocked his hand too tightly.

“Please let me go.” Pinta Shien once again. His gaze began to turn irritated, yet the Sky only shook his head leisurely.

“What do you want?” Asked Shien lazily. Instantly the smile of Heaven that had shrunk now reappeared.

“Come lunch with.” The sky lifted the bag of food that had been swallowed. “I bought this for us. Previously, I thought you were in the office, uh years is here.” Shien gawking. So Sky actually came to his office just to take him to lunch together?

“This person really. . .” Shien growled in heart. Not out of thought because the sky was so intent on inviting him to lunch. Does he not have any friends he can invite?

“Thank you, but I'm not hungry and I have to go.” Reject Shien, still trying to let go of Sky's hand checks.

“You are hungry and can go later.” The sky does not want to lose.

“I said I didn't la. . .” Shien's words hang when his stomach suddenly rings. God fucking. All his life, he had never felt humiliated like this, especially by his own stomach. Hiish, where should he put his face now? And he can see now the sky is smiling softly towards him.

“I don't hear anything.” Shien snorted between annoyance and embarrassment as well as looked at Sky who continued to put on a full-fledged expression.

“I assume lunch debt reduced by one.” Shien returned to his original sitting position.

“Where can I like that? This food I bought.” Sky protest while handing the wet tissue to Shien cleaned his hands.

“I can pay for this.” Shien began to clean his hands.

“And I don't sell.” Reply Sky, then take out a tuna sandwich that Shien immediately received.

“If you want to pay, I add this to your lunch debt list. So a total of four lunches and three dinners, how about?” Shien snorted hearing it. This person sitting next to him was indeed really good at making profitable deals for himself.

“I consider this free only.” Sambar Shien fast. Lazy to deal with this guy for a long time.

Not wanting to waste more time, Shien's hand moved to stick a straw on his fresh drink cup for later he drank it.

“Thanks in advance.” Shien said sincerely before he started his eating activities. The sky nodded with a small nod accompanied by a sweet smile.

Shien who was already hungry immediately bit the big sandwich mercilessly. His cheeks rose up and down while chewing food, so his expression turned cute.

The sky that was watching the girl only snorted amusedly. “Eat a lot. If it's less, you can eat mine.” The sky stroked Shien's head like a cat until it made the girl momentarily stunned, then resumed her chewing. Ignoring the strange feeling that a few seconds ago invaded his heart.

“Thanks.” Shien swallowed his chew. “But it is not necessary.”

“Okay.” Langinlt then began to catch up with Shien eating his food with an inattentive look watching Shien.

“This person why?” Shien who realized Sky was constantly watching him felt uncomfortable. Then he crammed the sandwich with a larger slice to make the sky uncomfortable with how to eat it until the man did not pay attention to it anymore, but it instead looked even more comical in Sky's eyes as Shien's bloated mouth was full of food.

The sky smiled with such a faint smile that the sauce and bread crumbs he had eaten were scattered around his mouth and face.

“Then again eat focus on the food. Look, your face is following the meal.” Shien turned his head while raising his chin towards the Sky.

“Ohh, yes?” The sky raised next to his eyebrows.

“Actually you are not polite to talk like that, you should clean it directly.” The sky handed the wet tissue to Shien who was clearly bewildered.

“Come cleanin. I, right, can't see.” Say heaven again while thrusting his face.

“Gak deh, fear of making fun of the eyes.” Shien kelit fast.

The sky exhaled an annoyed breath, then grabbed back the wet tissue from Shien's hands and cleaned his mouth and face violently. This girl next to him really couldn't be modelled in the least.

“What are you doing? Blind?” Sky Syndicate while glaring back, making Shien who heard him smile amusedly. However, it did not last long as Shien went back to eating his sandwich quietly.

“He smiled?” The sky was made stunned because just a moment ago he had just seen Shien's rare smile. Not rare, this was the first time he had seen her. Shien's smile was sincere without making up. Very sweet.

Although he often saw Shanna smiling, but their smiles looked different. Not only that, in the eyes of Heaven even their faces were different now. And all that could only attract his attention was Shien.

It seemed like the Sky had already been completely made to fall in love with this girl. Shien was unlike any other girl he had ever met.

Shien accidentally nudged his sandwich so the white sauce adorned his cheek.

With a swift Sky hand raised, it drew closer to Shien's frozen face with a slightly bewildered expression. The sky cleared the sauce on Shien's cheek. Their distance is now only a few centimeters.

As soon as Shien's clear eyes collided with Sky's warm gaze, time seemed to stop. Suddenly Shien's heart beat faster without being controlled. For a moment it was like he could not breathe. But, a moment later he was made to open his mouth when the Sky licked his finger which was smeared with sauce from Shien's cheek.

“Idiot.” Shien commented while shaking his head.

“American.” Reply to the sky, then laugh crisply.

********

Shien returns home to his parents in a taxi in a mood that has changed.

Previously, Sky insisted on taking Shien home. However, the girl resolutely rejected him on the grounds that there was still some business she had to settle. And it's all about watching the movie, all alone. Yes, Shien did need some alone time to comfort himself. Therefore, he immediately stopped the taxi and left the sky just like that. He went to the cinema and watched a comedy genre film to make his mood better than before.

Sighing heavily, Shien hesitated to enter the house. Because, it's night. Will he be scolded? He even folded one by one ten fingers as he muttered. “Log in, no, log in, don't. . .”

However, just as he folded his eight fingers, suddenly the door of the house opened.

Shien was shocked with a slightly frightened face, as if he was a high school boy who was knocked home late by his parents.

Mama stood in the doorway and looked at Shien with a gaze she could not understand.

“A .aku . . . .” Not finished he finished his speech that felt choked, Mama suddenly hugged him, making him confused.

“Mama is worried you won't come home again.” Shien was unmoved, he felt the clothes on his shoulders wet. It seemed like the middle-aged woman was crying, making Shien's defense barely collapse.

“My stuff is still here.” Shien said as he let go of Mama's embrace.

“Can I come in now?” Shien asked then with his expressionless face.

“This is your home, why ask permission for everything?” Shut Mama was accompanied by a gentle smile, as gentle as a fairy. However, the painful words that had once come out of the woman's mouth made Shien's eyes blind to see her smile.

“Ayo.” Mama grabbed Shien's shoulder and guided him to the house. Mama was happy because this time there was no rejection from Shien. Unlike before, he moved away as soon as he approached her.

“Shien has returned? Thank goodness.” Shien's move momentarily paused as he watched Papa walk out from the direction of his study. The man smiled with relief that his youngest daughter had returned. But he just wanted to look for it. He was worried because the girl went out of the house without bringing anything.

“Come to the dining room. We had dinner together.” Take Papa then, his eyes look sparkling with pleasure. Obviously, this was the first time he had reunited with his youngest daughter.

“You can eat without me.” Said Shien while looking at Papa coldly.

“How can I like that, dinner is time for family to gather.” Shien snorted as Shanna suddenly grabbed and appeared down the stairs.

“Tck, as there are family talks aja.” Shien muttered fiercely.

Shanna didn't care about what her sister said. He then grabbed Shien's arm and quickly pulled him towards the dining room.

“Bad girl, where have you been all day?” Shien unmitigatedly clinched Shien's head. “Padahat today is our birthday.” Once again Shanna landed one in her sister's head to make Shien yell in annoyance.

“SHANNA, STOP IT!”

“Sister, call me brother. I'm five minutes older.” Shanna replied no less screaming.

Mama and Papa who saw the small quarrel of the two daughters smiled happily. His originally quiet house now felt warm. Ahh, they really regretted having kept their son away from them.

The little family gathered at the dinner table. Nonetheless, Shien felt an even gloomier atmosphere instead of being warm.

“Gift.” Papa thrusts a rectangular gift box at Shanna and Shien. “Happy birthday to you.”

“Wahh, what is it?” Shanna exclaims happy to get a birthday present from her parents. “Open, Sha.” My mother smiled meaningfully. But in contrast to Shanna, Shien had no interest in the gift at all.

“Surely Shien same pair necklace, nih.” I was busy opening the gift box. A few seconds later, Shien's eyeballs rounded out as if they were about to pop out of place. Not to forget, his mouth was gaping wide when he saw what the contents of the gift box were. Car keys. The car he wanted all this time.

“Lamborghini Veneno's. Bener, right?” Shien looked at Papa and Mama alternately.

“Yes.” Answer Papa steady. Sontak Shien immediately moved from his seat.

“Red color, right? Where is he now?” Ask is impatient. Papa and Mama just chuckled amusedly at Shanna's furore.

“You can check in the garage. But now we eat first.” The smile on Shanna's face shrank, but a second later reappeared.

“OK deh, thank you guys.” Shanna immediately ran up to her parents and gave a kiss on each cheek.

Shien who saw the closeness of Shanna and her parents secretly smiled bitterly. I don't think it could be like that anymore.

“You don't want to open your gift, Shi?” Mama asked turned her gaze to Shien after Shanna returned to her place.

Shien stared at the black-colored gift box hesitated for a moment, then with a slow motion he opened it. The same gift he found in the box. But his expression was very mediocre, thus making Shanna astonished. Both of his parents.

“Wahh, samantha. Are Mama the same Papa buyin Shien different colors?” And Shanna with her frenzy represented Shien to be surprised. Papa responded with a nod.

“Then we can replace, Shi.” Shanna couldn't hide her happy twinkle.

“You want to take also can.” Sahut Shien lightly. “You don't like the gift, Shi?” Ask Mama wonder.

“I can't drive.” Shien replied, making Mama and Papa regret it a little because it was like they bought the wrong gift.

“Sorry, Shi. We don't know if you. . ..”

“What do you guys know?” Shien exclaimed as he smiled a sarcastic smile. His words succeeded in making the hearts of Mama and Papa stuck. True, they did not know what a suitable gift for Shien so bought him the same one as Shanna. They were parents who did not know what Shien liked and disliked.

“Sorry, I think I'm full.” Shien said, when it was clear the food had not been touched at all. He got up from his seat and left the dining table.

“Shien, you haven't eaten a bit.” Papa exclaimed, but Shien paid him no heed. The girl took big steps to go to her room.

Shien sat himself by the bed. Then hold his chest that feels tight. The world is unfair. It was never fair to him.

Why did both of his parents have to play with his heart like this? they used to ignore Shien at will and now they come at will and act as if nothing happened before.

A moment later, he immediately took his daily medicine box from the drawer, then took the medicine and then fell asleep. Sleep is the most appropriate method to forget the pain for a moment.
