So In Love
EP. 43. Provisional

“Playground?” Shien muttered as he frowned in surprise as Sky stopped his car in front of a playground.

The girl was wobbly looking around, Shien guessed if this neighborhood was a school complex. Not far from the playground, he saw a kindergarten there. Likewise with elementary and middle schools whose locations are not far apart, Shien saw along the way to this playground.

“Ngapain to the playground? Like a child.” Lady Shien, although in fact she was quite fascinated with the playground. If you remember, maybe only counted once Shien set foot on the playground, which was when he was six years old with Papa. After that, Shien never again went to the playground and was only confined inside the house due to the change in attitude of his parents.

The sky smiled knotfully as it opened the door for Shien to exit his car after it had settled into a parking lot.

“You don't know what it's like to date on the playground anyway.” Answer Sky slightly literate, behind the sentence as if it contains another meaning that says do not insult before you try it. The man then reached out his hand, then took Shien's hand to guide him into the playground area.

“Emang you ever?” Shien Cibir. However, he was anxiously waiting for Sky's answer. Afraid that Heaven would ever ask another girl out on a date in this place. And if it's like that, then this date is not special anymore.

“No, sih.” Answer the Sky while grinning widely, showing off his neatly lined teeth.

“And the only girl I've ever dated is just you, and there won't be another.” Continue Heaven full of emphasis and confidence.

Shien instantly blushed as soon as he heard the sky's speech just now. Although Shien knows that Sky does like to talk sweetly to many people, but still every word that Sky said to him always managed to make Shien's heart melt.

“You come here often?” Ask Shien curiously. Shien wanted to know the man had come to this park with anyone. More precisely, was there another girl that Sky had brought here? It would be nice if Shien found an answer that he was the only person Sky had ever brought to that playground. Childish thinking is indeed. But, getting special treatment from her loved ones, it is the hope of almost every girl in this world, right? Shien did not want to deny that.

“Ser often. Even from my time SMA.” Reply to the sky without looking at Shien.

The girl was fixated, the next second her face turned frowning. In fact, Shien no longer needed to guess the answer to his question. But, Shien's itchy mouth wanted to confirm it.

“Whose name?” The sky seemed to think, but a moment later he answered without hesitation. “Jingga.” Then glanced at Shien at a glance with a flimsy smile on his reddish lips.

“So you brought me here because this is your memory? Want some nostalgia here?” Shien instantly stopped stepping, making Sky turn towards him with an anxious look. Anxious to see Shien who was now blatantly showing his jealousy.

“And you asked me to take you to a quiet place.” Sky said as he pulled up next to Shien's cheek using his one free hand.

“I told you a place that does not rame.” Shien's correction was accompanied by a sharp eye. His hands seemed to rub his slightly hot cheeks.

The sky held its laughter. “Hei Miss Writer, I think you know clearly what a synonym is.” Then a loud jolt he landed right on the girl's forehead to make her grimace.

Shien pursed his cute lips with one hand rubbing his painful forehead.

“Why? You jealous?” Ledek Sky. His two eyes seemed to narrow full of scorn as he asked that.

“Slight.” Shien replied honestly.

The sky smiled amusedly at the girl's reply. He tilted his head, then stole a kiss on Shien's cheek at a glance, causing Shien to widen his eyes, surprised by the sudden action of Heaven.

“Udah, you don't get jealous of my past, there's no point in knowing, right? Because the most important thing to me is now, right now, same to you.” Sweeping the top of Shien's head fondly, Sky then continued his steps while still holding Shien's hand, taking the girl towards the two iron swings that had stood up and hung firmly there.

Shien was stunned to hear that. True, jealousy in the past is of no use at all, it will only trigger unhealthy obsessive behavior, and it will only hurt yourself. Just like Shien is today. The girl folded her lips into her mouth to stop jealousy.

Shien released his hand from the grasp of Sky's hand as soon as they got in front of the swing and immediately sat there.

“Typically you say the same Orange?” Shien asked who started to move his swing.

The sky doesn't like it. He took a deep breath and threw it away quickly. “Don't start again, Shi. Later if I tell you, you even nethink again with me, jealous again, angry again.”

“And I'm just nanya.” Chick Shien. The girl seemed a little disappointed to see the Sky ignoring her question. Shien was just curious, he wouldn't be jealous, really. If you do not want to answer yes already, why should you answer it with a high tone of voice like just now?

However, Shien is a sentient being. Hearing the way Heaven spoke that was like a clash made his eyes tear up. Heart's hurt. Ahh, it feels like Shien should just go home now.

“I go there first.” Pamit Langit flat while moving from her seat. Shien simply nodded wordlessly, although in his mind he wondered where the man was going.

Could it be that Sky would leave Shien alone in this playground? Ahh, stupid time. Shien did not want to think about it. He can take a taxi home or ask Papa's driver to pick him up if Sky really leaves him.

Shien let out a coarse breath after he saw the clock coiling on his wrist. More than ten minutes passed, but the sky never returned. Did the man really leave her? Cih, it's unbelievable.

“Sorry.”

Shien gasped as he felt something cold touch his cheek. The girl then turned her head and saw the sky was standing behind her back while sticking a pack of fruit-flavored ice cream sticks on her cheeks.

“You angry?” Shoot the Sky directly after the girl received the ice cream that looked so refreshing it with her expressionless face. The sky then sat down on the swing next to Shien, but faced the opposite direction to the girl.

“I'm not angry.” Shien replied softly with his head bowed, his hands busy opening the ice cream parcel that was suddenly difficult to tear.

“I just don't like you saying that. In fact, I will not be asked to ask you to answer, kok.” Shien continued frankly.

Sky's face turned sad, feeling guilty and also sorry because he had unconsciously made his girl's heart hurt. The sky then slightly rewinded the swing by resting on its feet to reach Shien's sad-looking face.

“Sorry to me, Shi.” Shien looked up, until their gaze met in a straight line.

“I didn't mean to say that. I just don't want you to think of something that will disturb your mind.” The sky tried to explain, hoping the girl understood.

“I just want you to think about this time.” Reveal the Sky later. The sky just didn't want Shien to bully his past and stir up a fight over it. Sky wanted Shien to understand if he was the only one in his heart and mind right now, as well as his future. The sky wanted Shien to know that.

“Don't get angry huh, hem?” The sky then moved closer and closer, cupping both sides of Shien's face and stroking it gently. There was no rejection from the girl. However, Shien was still silent until a moment of silence was created.

“I'm not angry.” Sahut Shien's. Then his hand was raised to grab the back of the Sky hand that was on the side of his face. “You're a kegeeran, think I'll be jealous.” Ledeknya then while throwing Sky hands from his face, making Sky snort amusedly hear it.

“So not jealous of the orange anymore, nih?” Ask Heaven pretending to be disappointed.

“Jealous, anyway. But, my affection for you exceeds my jealousy.” Shien replied, making the face of Heaven blush instantly. Learn where Shien can talk so sweetly?

“Then I can cheat, dong?” Canda Sky.

Shien tickled. “Try it if you dare.” Then the girl pointed the ice cream stick that had been successfully opened to the face of Heaven, as if it was a knife she used to threaten.

The sky that saw him gave a small laugh, then grabbed the ice cream and bit it to pieces.

Not not brave. The sky would never leave Shien for the sake of another girl. Not even an intention will arise.

“Eaten.” The protest of Shien who found his ice cream was only a piece. The sky again chuckled at the annoyed face of Shien who was like a child deprived of his snacks.

“You abisin the rest.” Then cram the rest of the ice cream into the mouth of the sky. After that, Shien snatched the still intact Sky ice cream from the man's hand.

“While I'm ice cream you can I go back, Shi.” Said the Sky while packing his ice cream.

“Can.” Sahut Langit keukeuh. Shien simply raised next to his brows with a questionable look.

“Mouth to mouth.” Clearly the Sky was full of emphasis in every single word.

Shien rolled his eyes puffed. Instantly he regretted having served the man in front of him this talk.

“As of you, deh.” Said Shien lazily.

“You want to try it, Shi?” Ask Sky who was very happy to tease the girl.

Shien didn't answer. The girl chose to focus on enjoying her ice cream. The cold, fresh sensation on Shien's tongue instantly felt as soon as the ice cream landed on his mouth.

Shien had just realized that eating ice cream is powerful enough to make the mood better. Once his tongue tasted the sweet taste of ice cream, as if his body automatically released resentment in the heart and created a sense of pleasure.

Perhaps because of that, in the films Shien saw many men bribing their angry partners with a pack of ice cream.

“Shi, why not?” Sky's face turned sullen as Shien did not heed it.

“Ohh, were you talking to me?” Sahut Shien was ignorant, his expression deliberately made as innocent as possible.

“Not. Same pack ice cream.” Reply to the sky while glaring. Shien let out a laugh hearing that made him almost choke on the ice cream.

A moment of silence took over, both were engrossed in enjoying their respective ice creams.

“I used to nemenin Orange waiting for her boyfriend here.” The sky suddenly told a story, making Shien who was enjoying his ice cream automatically look up.

The man then recounted how he accompanied Orange in his waiting for Blue for more than nine years. How optimistic Orange who does not want to give up, although thousands of times the Sky cussed that Blue is a jerk who may have forgotten his love.

Shien was flabbergasted hearing the Sky story. Sometimes he sneered if the orange was a stupid girl because he was willing to wait for someone for that long, when obviously there are people who love him more at his side.

But, if the orange isn't like that. Maybe now the sky will not be his. And Shien was grateful and also grateful for the folly of Orange.

“Keep, how can they meet again?” Shien asked curiously, feeling that the Blue and Orange story was quite interesting.

“They seem to have been fooled by their parents. It just so happened again, Blue is the son of the hospital owner where I work now. Then, right after meeting again it turns out Blue lost memory and do not know the same Orange.” Clearly the Sky is long.

“The world is narrow. But sadly, their story is complicated. Although they were reunited again, but it is not that easy they can return together.” Continue the Sky accompanied by a heavy breath afterwards, remembering the story of Blue and Orange which is so full of drama.

“Keep the story how did it end?” And it seemed that Shien wanted to know the story of Blue and Orange to the end.

“The story is still long, will not run out all day.” The sky rubbed full of Shien's face with anxiety. Not expecting if the stiff girl turned out to have kepo traits as well. Or is it the kepo that is inherent in the soul of all women in this world?

“If you want to know the full story, read a novel called Still In Love. Their story is there. If I told you here it would disrupt our story.” Continue the Sky then. Shien only snorted, before then he returned to his voice.

“Blue was that?” Ask Shien. The sky answered him with a nod.

Shien nodded, then said. “Polishing. . .”

The sky frowned, not understanding. “Planner? What pantesan?”

“Organized Orange does not oglech you. That handsome Blue guy. If I become Orange also can not possibly turn.” Shien replied satisfied. It was like he had a loophole for revenge on the heavens. Let the man feel what he felt last night.

And sure enough, Sky's face instantly turned furious after Shien said that sentence. The sky looked at Shien with a sharp look as if it wanted to skin him.

“Muji-muji another guy in front of his own fiancee, is that not outrageous?” Shien grunting. The sky is actually talking to itself.

“I'm just kidding.” Reply Shien as leisurely as possible while continuing to enjoy his ice cream. In his heart he laughed, content to be able to reply to Heaven like this.

“I don't accept.” Serge Langit while robbing Shien's ice cream in annoyance. “Kidding or not, you can't praise another guy besides me. Thought they couldn't either, I didn't allow it.”

Shien clucked with a cynical smile. “You can't accept me praising the other guy in front of you. But, you yourself don't want me to be angry if you praise the other girls in front of me? Ck, cheating base.”

The sky felt stupefied hearing Shien's innuendo. He could not even move and stared into Shien's heart-changing eyes. Regret instantly ambushed his heart, he even had time to call Shien childish and also yelled at him for not accepting the girl being angry at him just because he praised Terry.

“It doesn't feel good, does it?” Shien asked flatly as he snatched back his ice cream from the hands of Heaven, then finished it off in annoyance.

“Shi. . .” The sky grabbed Shien's hand to grasp it. The sky was aware, he was already acting outrageous due to his insensitivity.

“Sorry to me, Shi.” Then he said in a soft voice. “Sorry I am insensitive and even make you sad.” Please Heaven again, the look in his eyes clearly showed that the man was very sorry.

“I've spared it, kok.” One hand Shien stretched out to touch the face of Heaven and gave a gentle swipe there. “But I want you to remember one thing. You can be friendly, but should know the limitations.”

The sky shook, this was indeed his fault that could not control himself. The sky forgot about it. Now that he had Shien, it meant that there were indeed some things that should be restricted in order to not injure his girl.

“Nothing. I also understand that we are still in a transitional stage. This change in our status is not easy either for me or for you. Eat it, I want us to try together to improve ourselves.” Shien tried to understand.

“Thank you, Shi.” That is all the sky can say. Smiling happily, the sky also slowly moved and hugged the girl's body tightly.

The sky thought Shien would get angry and hold a grudge. But it is unexpected if the girl he loves is so understanding.

“By the way, Blue and Orange know Brother Shanna?” Shien asked as he recalled Blue mistaking Shanna at the cafe earlier. The girl pushed the Sky body slightly to create some distance between them.

“I don't know. They never told me. I'll askin.” Answer the Sky as it is.

“What Shanna looking for their same problem?” Shien murmured with a bright look. He remembered very well how Blue and Orange had looked at him earlier, and that was a dislike stare.

“Can't not think of anything else first?” Sky asked in protest, making Shien look back at him with a frown.

“You want to go long. Instead of thinking of others, mending us benefits the few hours left today well.” Sky said with a smile, a smile that looked terrible and contained another intent. Shien's feeling started to feel bad, Sky must be planning something strange.

“You play seesaw?” Shien tried to avoid the strange gaze of Heaven and pointed at the seesaws not far from the swing he was sitting on at the moment.

“I prefer other games.” The sky smiled obliquely, his hand then outstretched touching Shien's lips and rubbed it gently using his thumb. “Main how?” The sky whispered asexually, making Shien's hair goosebumps and his body instantly paralyze to the point of making him unable to fight the Sky.

“Supply me this time during your stayin one week.” And it didn't take long for Heaven to pull Shien's nape and give her a soft kiss on the girl's lips, then turn into a passionate kiss. Always intoxicating as usual, to make both of them forget themselves and get swept away in it.
