So In Love
EP. 26. Closer

********

“Lho, it's not the Sky, Shi?” Fina exclaimed as she realized that the one on the stage was the Sky. Shien, who was busy making outlines for his new book, looked up, as well as Reno.

Shien jerks. Is correct. There was Sky sitting on the bar stool on the stage. Shien closed his eyes at a glance, hoping it was just a hallucination because all day long his mind was filled with Heaven. But, the man was still there, even being noticed as well to make their views instantly collide in a straight line. The sky turned a faint smile towards him.

Shien was frozen. It's like numbness. Not even Fina and Reno's babbling made her flinch. His view could not be switched from a sky that looked sparkling with matching coat and pants with plain white t-shirts inside.

“Since when was he here?” Fina murmured as soon as Sky started chanting her song.

“It wasn't the guy that was this morning, was it, Ma'am?” Excited Reno who came to his senses.

Shien remained unmoved, as if all the objects surrounding him were fused together and only the Sky remained until it made all his attention fixed on a Sky.

“The boyfriend is Mbak Shanna, right?” Fina quickly nudged Reno's arm as it had already been battered in origin. The girl then gave an eye signal for Reno to shut up if she didn't know anything.

Reno scratched the back of his confused head accompanied by a frowning forehead, but the edges according as well and chose to enjoy a live music event with Sky that became his star that afternoon.

The voice of Heaven was very pleasant to hear, even Shien was washed away with the song he was carrying. But it also made his heart more lame. The song was for Shien, Shien knew very well.

Ahh, Shien must not linger trapped in a room with the Sky like this. Because the longer he saw it, the greater the urge to run to the man and say that his words asking Heaven not to see him again were a lie.

Shien smiled wryly. Had Shanna not liked Sky, and had she not been seriously ill, Shien and Sky might have been united in a beautiful story they had hoped for.

“Unexpected, Shi. Sky Voice okay too.”

Exhaling a heavy breath. Too bad, Shien always thought that he and Sky would never have a beautiful story. And if you force it, the happy ending is still not theirs. Not wrong, right, if Shien gave up early? Even if Shanna doesn't like the Sky. Shien would still never be able to be together with that man.

“Come home.” Fina and Reno cast protesting gazes at Shien who suddenly moved and took her home. They still enjoy live music and the food is not finished, obviously Fina and Reno do not want to go home.

“That live music is not finished, you know, Ma'am. Another clash, deh.” Pinta Reno is a little bit flattering.

“So much if you still want to be here.” Shien said with an expressionless look on his face, then handed Fina a debit card, and just left her desk.

While Reno who couldn't possibly let Shien leave just like that could only snort. “Tante, I first.” He leaned on Fina, then walked up and followed Shien to the parking lot.

“Got fun you guys.” Fina shouted in annoyance. In the end, he also chose to end his afternoon hanging out.

“Cute me.”

Shien's hand was pulled away by Sky as he waited for Reno to pick up his car in the parking lot. It seemed as if all of Heaven's energy was channeled into his hands, causing Shien to groan in pain. This slightly rude attitude of Heaven made Shien confused and frightened of course, so he had difficulty revolting.

The man's footsteps were hurried, taking Shien to where his car was parked. In this situation, Shien wished Reno to show up. Where is the boy now? Both were in the parking lot, but Shien did not see his car or Reno.

“Sickness, Sky.” Shien thrashing. With energy far in proportion to Heaven, Shien tried to escape the clutches of Heaven's hand. But the sky didn't notice it.

“You're nothing, anyway? Release my hands.”

But not taking off. The sky opened the car door and forced Shien's body to enter, slamming it hard, then locking it.

Shien tried to open the car door, but in vain because the Sky locked it. And damn it, along with that, Shien saw the car that Reno was driving through, just coming out of the parking area.

So, Shien quickly retrieved the phone from his bag to call Reno. But, he was again made surprised when a hand grabbed his phone suddenly. And that is the sky.

“Back, no?” Shien protested with an angry look as Sky stuffed his phone into his pants pocket.

“Pake seatbeltnya.” The command of Heaven in a cold-sounding tone, bergitu also with his expression.

Then without saying much more, Sky drove his car forward at high speed, as if forgetting that Shien had a weak heart.

Shien was clearly startled, The sky was really like a person of doom. Shien had not even had time to wear a seatbelt to make his head almost hit on the dashboard of the car.

Shien could only close his eyes, his face as pale as if his blood flow had stopped. The girl was really scared to find the Sky that was carrying her car so fast.

Besides, where will Heaven take him this time? Shien felt that Heaven would soon bring him to meet God.

Riding a car at high speed and recklessly, does Sky think they're in a fast and furious movie? Sucks. Shien promises to haunt the sky every second until he dies in an accident.

Slowly, Shien opened his eyes as the Sky car started moving at a normal speed. Looks like the man has regained control of himself.

Throwing a glance out the window, it looked as if dusk had begun to leisurely walk away from the afternoon. Outside the drizzle, making the atmosphere in the car that was originally cold becomes increasingly cold.

Currently Shien had no idea where he was. Having lived in America since childhood, Shien was not enough to be able to recognize the entire city of his birth. Moreover, it is direction blind. All Shien knew now was the path to the office, the hospital, and the way home from there.

Suddenly, the black sports car slowed down its course and stopped on the shoulder of the highway that right led to a lake that stretched wide in front of it.

For a moment, they were silent. Both are still in silence. Choose to dwell with each other's thoughts. Only the roar of breath and the hour-second hand on their wrists were squealing the atmosphere.

“Langit. . .” Shien flinched as suddenly Sky dropped its head on his shoulders. His hands were closed and his eyes closed.

“Diem.” Sambar Langit who was still holding on with his cold demeanor when he sensed Shien was about to raise his head.

Shien snorted accompanied by a rude gasp. What the fuck are you trying this guy?

Took him away in a state of rage, then stopped by the quiet roadside, and his current position was extremely uncomfortable. They could be raided by residents because they might be mistaken for a perverted partner.

“Don't whip together other guys.” Sky's face slowly crept up, smirking it at the intersection of Shien's neck to the point of making the girl even more uncomfortable.

“I don't like.” Shien felt his blood rustle as the moist lips of Heaven clung onto his neck skin.

“Cowok?” Shien frowned cluelessly, his hands trying to push the face of Heaven away, but his efforts were futile.

“Yang this morning went with you.” The Light of the Sky while inhaling the scent of Shien's body. The orange blossom of Shien's farfum tasted very sweet and refreshing, making the Sky linger over inhaling it. It's exactly like the scent of her mother's body.

“He's my driver.” Shien's newly awakened will be which guy Sky means.

“Sopir or not, I still don't like.”

Shien held his breath as Heaven began to bite into the small skin of his neck, sucking, lingering until the redness that marked possession arose.

And unfortunately, Shien's body seemed to be paralyzing, not listening to commands from his central nervous system to cuss and push the Sky away.

“Spring him.” The sky pulled away, then looked at Shien's face that looked flushed under the dimness of the cabin lights. Highlighting the girl's unreadable eyes, her breathing roar sounded irregular.

“Why should?” And that question escaped Shien's lips.

“I said I didn't like it. I can't accept that you have to go with him everywhere every day.” Sahut Sky fierce. His gaze was so cold, piercing to the bottom of Shien's heart that it made him feel cornered.

“Whether he or another guy, you can't be whittling except for me.” Sky's voice swallowed, then pulled Shien's chin up to make their eyes look at each other intensely.

There was no time for Shien to protest, as quickly Sky tilted his face, then kissed his lips violently.

It all feels overwhelming and demanding. The lips of Heaven moved in haste, as if all his emotions were being let out there.

The sky cornered Shien's body until his back continued to be pushed further and further pressed against the back of the car seat.

The sky kissed the girl coercively, while Shien was so passive that he was forced to bite down on Shien's lower lip to open his lips to make it easier for his tongue to barge in, twisting Shien's tongue, tasting endless sweetness like a thirsty person. However, Shien did not consider this to be a kiss. The sky did it violently, and Shien wanted to cry instead of enjoying it.

“Sky, you what the fuck?” Shien's jolt as he pushed Sky's body with all his might until the link of their lips came off. Shien stared furiously at Sky with a hunting breath. Her lips were sore with a salty taste. Shien's lips are bleeding.

From the very beginning of his meeting, Shien had never seen such a Sky figure. The sky looks wild and uncontrollable. More rude.

“You have no right to live my life.” Excitement then.

“I'm entitled, because you are the person I love.” Snatch the Sky, then again landed a kiss on Shien's slightly pale lips. But, this time the sky did it with gentle movements even though there was still no reply from the girl.

“And you are the one I love.” The sky took off the kiss for a while, then re-united their lips with both hands cupping the side of the girl's face and stroking it gently.

“You are mine.” The sky blurted out in a soft-sounding tone a moment after he let go of his pawn, then fused their eyebrows together with the breaths that hunted each other.

“Everything is clear, Sky.” Shien pushed the muscular Sky's shoulders to create some distance between them. His gaze clashed with the look of Heaven's eyes that looked sad and desperate.

“What I said in the park at that time, do not you consider the wind then.” Connect Shien. The sky looked back at him full of intimidation, he really disliked Shien reminded that. From the beginning, Sky did not want to hear the rejection of this girl in his confinement.

The sky growled, making a rough gust of breath hit Shien's face. “I don't care.” Both hands of Heaven squeezed firmly on the girl's shoulders. “Because I know, what you said was a lie.”

“I didn't lie. I'm not interested in you, I don't like you, and I want you not to meet me la. . .” Shien's two eyeballs rounded as Sky again silenced his lips with a single gentle kiss.

“I don't know the reason why you continue to be dishonest with your own feelings, Shi.” Feelings of despair, sadness, anger, and disappointment emanated from the glare of Heaven's eyes.

“Shien. . .” The sky then grabbed Shien's hand, then linked his finger.

“Think again carefully, hem?” Pinta Langit slightly pleaded as she kissed the back of Shien's hand she held.

Shien let out a long sigh along with his crazy heartbeat when he heard the sound of Heaven groaning. His heart would have been almost broken if his brain had not immediately reminded him.

“Nothing to think about.” Shien pulled his hand from the grasp of Heaven until it slipped.

“SHIEN.” The surprised Sky Screeches at Shien's repudiation. Honestly, Shien really could not bear to see the sad face of Heaven. As a result, the girl turned her face out of the car window while holding tightness in her chest, along with tears that began to pool. Shien struggled to hold him back from falling.

The sky closed its eyes, scooping the air a lot to calm itself. Then he pulled and carried the girl's body into his arms.

Shien widened in the arms of the Sky. “Langit. . .”

“I can't let go of you, Shien.” This time the voice of Heaven really sounded desperate.

Shien flinching. His tongue was too thick, his lips tightly closed. The tears that he had originally endured ended up falling as well. His heart throbbed pain, Shien felt guilty. Shien realized, he was so selfish by not giving Heaven a chance to prove his true feelings. So foolishly Shien ignored men as good as the Sky. But, his current condition did not allow for Shien to be able to accept Heaven.

Shien felt the Sky had come at the wrong time. Shien hopes, in the next life, that he will be reunited with the Sky in a better condition.

“OK, I will only release you temporarily.” The sky breathed heavily.

“Because I know, you need time.” Shien felt increasingly guilty, his tears unstoppable, but he immediately wiped them away.

“I'll wait.” The sky tightened his embrace. “Until you feel better and ready to be honest with how you feel.”

“Don't be long. . .” The intonation of Heaven's voice softened even more, making Shien want to tear down his defenses and return the Sky's embrace. “If you want to be honest now or tomorrow, you don't have to be ashamed.”

“And one more. Don't ever ask me to stay away or don't see you again.” This time the voice of Heaven sounded sad. “I can go crazy.”

“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where.” The sky withdrew to reach out his gaze with the girl.

“I just wanna say something. I love you. That’s all.” Cupped both sides of Shien's face, then landed a brief kiss on his lips. Warm and soft, making Shien again made sculpt helpless because of it.

“Why?” Shien asked in a tired tone. His eyes look beautiful.

The sky smiled knots to then say. “Because you are you.” Shien frowned not understanding.

“If you were someone else, I wouldn't love you. Only you are always in my dreams, in my mind, you are the only person who makes my heart beat, can even make me forget to breathe.”

Shien was stunned to hear Sky's reply. His thoughts sounded ridiculous, but the look on his face seemed earnest, making his heart warm. If it was like this, how could Shien give up on his own feelings for the Heavens?

“You are the reason. So, come a little closet now. Don't lie to your feelings anymore, hem?” The sky then returned carrying Shien's still unmoved body into his arms, hugged him tightly, then kissed the top of the girl's head fondly.
