After enjoying an afternoon chat together in the living room and night arrived, Blue invited them to move the location of the chat in the backyard as well as dinner.
Blue and Sky prepared a shabu-shabu menu in the gazebo for their dinner, while Jingga invited Shien to sit on a swing not far from there because it still could not stand the smell of raw meat.
The orange is still the one who talks the most. He was like the storyteller and Shien was the audience. A lot of things that Orange talked about there while waiting for the shabu-shabu to mature, and Shien only responded with the words ahh, ohh, yes, no, hmm, or even just a nod or a head bobble. But Orange was not upset at all, because he already knew from the Sky story if the girl sitting next to him was quiet and not easy to get along. Therefore, Jinggah who must talk more to get closer and eliminate awkwardness.
Orange also tells the beginning of his meeting with the Sky, until everything they had been through together during the friendship was established. Shien listened carefully. Although the Orange tells more or less the same as the Sky told him first, but the Orange tells it in a different style so that Shien does not get bored even though he had to hear it twice.
“That sky is never shit. Ever, yeah. We were in twelfth grade. The sky dabbled and was caught with me. Then, I grab the cigarette and get in the bag. Ehh, suddenly at school there's an examination. I got punished, dong, because teacher BK found a cigarette in my bag. Dad got called to school, and then I was not given pocket money for a month full.”
The orange grumbled indistinctly when it remembered the incident. Trying to protect the sky, ehh even himself who was hit by shit. Luckily he was a smart boy and said it was the first mistake, so the school did not give him a heavy sentence, only cleaning the toilet for one week.
Shien silently smiled amusedly hearing the story of Orange. It is fitting that the friendship of Orange and Heaven is very well established, they are so protective and do not plunge.
A moment of silence took over. It was only after Orange finished his indistinct grunt that the girl returned to the story.
“Ehh, yes. You want to know, don't you? If the Sky is. . .” The orange moved his hand, instructing Shien to bring the ear closer to him. Shien scowled confusedly, but he still complied.
“Bawks.” Orange Whisper. Shien was not surprised, he knew clearly this one thing. That's why he called the man a pervert doctor.
“He's seen blue film before seventeen years.” As he pulled away, his lips folded inwardly holding in laughter as his memories drifted away at the events of ten years ago. Precisely, when he and Sky were sixteen years old.
Shien was flabbergasted to hear the Orange narration just now. Absolutely crazy, it's just worth the Sky brain stuff dirty all.
“Where did you know?” And this was the first time Shien had asked a question to Orange for being quite curious.
“When we wanted to study together at the Sky house, and we used to study in his room. Well, just as I want to enter the room, uh his room is locked and it is not the habit of Heaven, I continue to think Sky would commit suicide due to stress due to school duty demands.” The orange story came to a halt for a moment when Shien suddenly interrupted him.
“Narrow-minded. Room is privacy, everyone can lock it.” Shien said coldly and realistically as always. In addition, Shien was a little jealous because of the Orange that first entered the Sky room.
The orange rolled his eyes lazily while exhaling an upset breath. “Because of that time many news of High School children who committed suicide, eating it I so thought to there.” Resist later.
“You know the continuation or not?” Ask Orange who had lost a little patience to face the ice statue was given his life.
“If you don't mind.” Shien replied in prestige, then took a sip of the juice he had been holding since.
The orange gnawed in amazement with its mouth slightly gaping. Wonder why the sky can stand with a girl like this?
His character is inversely proportional to the sky is super supple, cheerful, interactive, and easy to get along with. While Shien was so cold and jutek. And how could the girl also be interested in the Sky which the Orange thought was very chatty?
But, maybe that's what makes them attracted to each other, like two opposing magnetic poles will be attracted to each other. According to Orange, maybe that was the storyline of Sky and Shien.
“Until where was it?” Ask Orange who forgot where he had told me.
“Ngyra Sky wants to kill themselves.” Answer Shien flatly. Orang-ohh ria, then continue the story.
“Well, that's why I took the spare key. I opened the door, uh Sky again sitting in front of the laptop with headphones. From a distance, Sky kayak again watch wrestling matches, but it turns out wrestling in bed. Crazy isn't it, Shi? Where the abis the headphone cable came off, I continued to hear the sound of sighs as a loud groan. Ihh shy to remember now.” Orange immediately covered both ears which immediately felt hot.
“And more insane, Sky told me if it's a trend, eat it I'm not so ngaduin her same brother.” Continue Orange with a reddened face to resist embarrassment. Although he was married, but for Orange to see a blue film is a shame and very strange.
“And you believe that?” Shien asked with a sneering look.
Orange is funny. “That time I still did not understand the same things like that.”
“It turns out you're not as smart as Sky tells.” Shien's voice sounded muddled.
Orange snorted, then did self-defense. “It had nothing to do. I grew and developed according to the stages, eating it when the time came I just understood it.”
Shien simply flicked his shoulders, still with a soft look. It turned out that Orange was beyond her expectations, judging from her shady face and graceful appearance, Shien thought that the girl would be as calm and diplomatic as the young lady in the movie, she said, remember Orange is a smart and highly educated person. But it didn't.
In many ways, Orange is similar to Sky, their character is like an energizer bunny that is too noisy and arrogant to melt the ice that might occur due to the quiet Shien.
Shien thought, maybe that was why they were not suitable to be a couple. The sky and orange are too similar. Like a magnetic field, identical poles repel each other.
“Ohh yes, Shi. You have no plans to be like me?” Orange asked, making Shien knit his brows a sign of incomprehension, but the next second he blinked after seeing the slightly protruding belly of Orange.
“Pregnant?” Shien said innocently. The girl smiled with her cold face. “I'm not that crazy.” Then cast his gaze on the small building called the gazebo, which was directly opposite the swing he and Jingga were sitting on at this time.
“Married, so wife, impregnated, newly pregnant.” Sahut Jingga was upset because Shien apparently misrespected, the plan that was meant by Jingga was to marry like her.
Shien turned his head while gnawing in astonishment. He did not expect that Orange could talk to a new person like himself.
“I mean married, Shi.” Clearly Orange, confirming Shien's misrespected answer. “Or don't you guys plan to make a baby before marriage?” He added second-guessing along with his squeaking eyes.
“Don't be crazy. We are not the ones who will oppose our eastern customs.” Reply Shien did not accept, although actually in his heart he felt shameless to say that. His words were contrary to what he had done with Heaven. Although she and Sky did not sleep together, they embraced and kissed at will. Isn't that already opposed to eastern culture because their dating style follows Western culture that should not be done, because he and Sky as Indonesian citizens should greatly uphold morality?
“Good, deh. I'm just afraid you guys are being.” Orange said as he glanced at Shien's neck covered in plaster, which was unintentionally visible because the girl's hair was blown away by the night breeze. “Because I'm sure, you're not just holding hands if you're dating.” The sounding is full of throbbing. In addition, Jingga also experienced a bad courtship period in Western culture with her husband. Eating it he dared to bully Shien like that.
“Sok know.” Shien tried to dodge, but his face looked embarrassed. Making the orange who saw him smile amusedly and more intrigued to tease the girl.
“By the way, you can cover it with make up. If the turtleneck is too hot, and the kayak plaster is too clear.” Temptation Orange who gives tips to hide naughty secrets while holding his laughter, making Shien's eyeballs widen and automatically his hands raised covering the love bite due to the actions of the Sky on his neck.
“It. . .”
“Hickey, love bite. You can't say it's an insect bite, classic reason.” Sambar Orange was full of sneers, stopping Shien who had just opened his mouth to quibble.
Orange hissing slowly while shaking the head. Didn't expect that her best friend was as dilapidated as her husband. Jingga knew the relationship of Sky and Shien had not been established long enough, but Sky had already dared to do such a thing to Shien.
Shien snorted while throwing his gaze from the orange with a face that felt heated, maybe the red hue was getting more visible now.
“ Anyway, next time don't use plaster again. You can use the tips I said earlier.” The orange raised its eyebrows, not satisfied with teasing Shien.
While Shien just closed his eyes while closing both ears using his palm. Didn't want to hear the orange keep teasing him. Sucks, in Shien's eyes, Orange is the female version of Heaven now.
And a few seconds after Jingga threw her teasing sentence, Sky approached and asked them to immediately move to the gazebo because the shabu-shabu was ready.
The orange exclaimed cheerfully and immediately rose from its seat, then walked ahead of Shien and Sky.
“Your face is red. You're all right, right, Shi?” Sky asked worriedly as he touched Shien's forehead, fearing that the girl had a fever.
“I’m okay.” Shien replied as he brushed off the hand of Heaven perched on his forehead. “Tonight was really hot.” The pretext then while fanning yourself with the hand.
“Masa, Shi? I think I'm ordinary.” The sky was astonished.
Shien grimacing. Once there was a gap, he immediately switched the conversation. “They're waiting, come on.”
Then Shien moved from his seat and walked towards the gazebo. No way, right, he said that his face was red because Orange had just teased him all out?
********
They sit around a portable stove and a soup pot placed in the middle. The steaming smoke gives off its own aroma of savory broth and Japanese-style menu stew, making anyone who smells it want to eat the food immediately.
The most vibrant orange, the girl even got her first turn to taste and pour the Japanese stew into her bowl. Unkindly, Blue asks Sky and Shien to understand Orange because the girl is pregnant.
“Shien, can I have a request for you to fetch the warehouse?” Pinta Orange when Shien gets a turn.
“Let Shien fill his bowl first, Ji. You'll take me.” Tegur Blue who felt bad because Orange told guests. If it was the Sky, Blue would not be condescending. But Shien is a new person.
“Nothing, coke, sis.” Said Shien who saw the face of Orange scowling funny. Then he took the shrimp for the orange which was greeted twinkle happy by him.
While Sky who heard Shien calling Blue with the name of brother can only snort. Sky was also older than him, so why did Shien call him by name?
Shien then turned his head with a frown. “I ngikutin Orange.” Answer the girl as she is. There is no special reason, though. After all, it was just a call, why did the Sky bother about it? Just like a child.
“Keep, why am I not called brother too?” Ask the Sky again.
“It was just a call. Don't be childish.” Legs of Orange while throwing Sky with a box of tissue and right hit his head. The sky suddenly snorted while rubbing the head which was not really so painful.
“See, childish gini, where to call sister?” Timpal Shien, made Blue and Orange hold back the laughter of hearing it. Heaven said, the girl was completely blind romantically.
While the Sky only snorted bitterly, then devoured its food violently.
They enjoyed their shabu-shabu while having a light conversation, Blue and Sky discussed their work in a fairly busy hospital. Hearing her husband and best friend talk about work, immediately makes Orange miss the surgical room. The girl could only sigh and bite her finger as Blue would definitely not allow her to return to the hospital during her pregnancy.
“Shien, you can use two hands at once?” Blue asked who was quite amazed when she saw Shien using chopsticks to pick up vegetables with his left hand, while the right hand poured broth broth for the Sky. And according to Blue, people who are not left-handed will have enough trouble using chopsticks with their left hand, but Shien is able to do it.
“Emm.” Shien nodded casually.
“What is Ambidextrous sort?” Ask Orange who was curious about Shien's ability to use both hands. The sky that also just found out helped sharpen his hearing waiting for Shien's answer.
“Not.” Shien replied briefly, as usual.
“But you can use both your hands for different jobs.” Heaven with a look of wonder. Because he knew, the person who was given the ability to do two jobs at the same time with both hands was called Ambidextrous. So why did Shien answer otherwise?
“At first I was left-handed. . .” Shien later recounted that he trained his right hand because he was left-handed. Many people assume that the left hand carries an evil association or more often it is said with a sinful hand to do work especially eating. So, that's why Shien trained his right hand until finally he could use both hands equally well to perform various tasks.
“Wahh, then I can also train my left hand so that it is more useful.” Said Orange while giggling amusedly, then turned back to his food.
“Bener, tuh. Plus, if the right hand is injured, we won't bother.” Blue Timpal.
“Dihh, than learn it. Mending you learn to be a real parent first, deh. Afraid Winter will follow the sengklek like his parents.” The Sky Spirits were immediately replied with sharp eyes by the couple.
While Shien just bobbing heads look at the behavior of the three of them who sometimes get along, but soon throw each other tearing even bully-an. Silly indeed. Perhaps this was what it felt like to have friends, instantly the corner of Shien's heart warmed up looking at the three of them.
“Ohh, yes. Says Auntie, you guys are here on a motorbike, really?” Ask Orange after a moment of silence. Sky justify.
“Si handyman mode. Didn't think coming home from here was a malem? He can catch wind.” Tegur Orange while raising his chin towards Shien.
“Kan pack jacket, Ji.” Resilient Sky.
“Involuntarily, right, use the motor to steal the opportunity?” Shoot Orange and on target to make the sky almost choke on broth. The Sky Rushed to get his drinking glass.
“Sayang. . .” Blue gently touched the wife's arm, intending to reprimand her not to think negatively. Surprisingly, since pregnancy, his wife's brain became unconditioned. In fact, usually Orange is full of positive and thoughtful thoughts. Not the origin of a spray like this.
“I'm real, kok.” Orange's heart aches while throwing her husband's hand.
“You should bring a backpack, Shi, cover your front. The guy, even though it looks calm, still a lot of mode. Like these two guys, here.” Cerocos Orange while glancing at Blue and Sky alternately, quipped. And Blue could only exhale to cultivate his patience. While the sky only snorted miserably.
“I also used to be like that when leaving school with Sky use motor.” Later connections.
“Dihh, flat chest like that sok-sokan blocked.” Sky Spark, making Orange instantly glare in annoyance at him.
“Notes from.” Serobot Orange does not accept.
“Emang actually like that, really. I used to carry you, and it was flat like his chest Blue.” The sky does not want to lose.
“Si perverted rat, so you feel that?” Orange yells in annoyance.
“Mana may not, if carried your body nempel.” Reply Sky full of ledges.
Orange growled, then rose from his seat and came to the Sky that sat beside Blue.
“Basic perverted rats.” Shien shouted again accompanied by a loud pull on the Sky's hair, making the man gasp in place as the Orange attacked him without warning.
Foolish, just orange just want to grab the hair of the sky right now because it makes him upset.
The sky that could not possibly fight a pregnant woman could only complain of pain while trying to hold the hand of Orange so as not to grab her hair harder. “Ji, freelance, jeez sick. I'm just kidding.”
“Kidding mouth. Iiihh, Sky ye ngeseliii.” The orange pulling the sky's hair is getting tighter, making men squeal in pain.
“Release me, cat base garong.” Shouted The sky was upset. If you do not remember there is a baby in the belly of the Orange, it is certain the Sky will return to grab the girl's long hair.
“What did you say? Have you messed with me, now you say cat garong?” The orange exerted all his strength to pull the hair of Heaven, making some of the man's black mane fall out between his fingers.
“When did I abuse you?” Sky asked in disbelief, he continued to grimace as the pull of Orange's hand grew stronger in his hair.
“You said my chest was flat.” It was not enough to grab the hair, Orange beat Sky's shoulders hard. Crushed was already the graceful impression Shien had imagined of the girl.
Seeing the fierce fight of his wife and his friend who is like a predator is hunting prey in front of him that makes Blue bobble his head. The reason, he was used to seeing them like that. The last time Jingga beat up the Sky when the girl accidentally found durex gum in the actual Sky car that belonged to Bisma left behind. Orange beat him all out because he thought the sky often snacked outside.
While Shien was even stunned stiffly with amazed eyes in place. They could be fighting like children because of that kind of thing.
Neither Blue nor Shien, neither of them were at all interested in separating the pair of friends who he said were like cocoons. They only looked at the Orange and the Sky with their jaws slightly open.
“They're used to it. Continue eating aja.” Blue said to Shien, making the girl gawk even more.
Perhaps Blue is the only husband who lets his wife fight, which other husbands might try to separate.
“I'm just kidding, Ji.” The sky was still trying to remove the orange hand from her hair. Mubadzir had already groomed Sky's hair for tens of millions of it. Her hair is probably almost bald now.
“Bi, cat garong. Aww, Ji, lastin.” Shouted the Sky complaining. Blue just rolled her eyes lazily as if saying, who told her to joke outrageously with pregnant women? Already know that orange is very sensitive now. Sometimes she can be a cute kitten, but she can also turn into a feline in an instant.
“Try repeating once again.” The orange growled increasingly irritated. While the sky continued to complain and beg for forgiveness.
Blue clucked, then he casually approached and hugged the belly of the Orange from behind. “Honey, don't gini.”
But it seems that Orange did not like what Blue did, the girl even rebelled. “Awas, sis. I still want to beat him.” Pekiknya.
“Honey, remember Winter.” Blue stroked the soft belly of Orange in his arms.
And it was only after hearing the name Winter called, that Orange removed her hand from the hair of Heaven. However, the look on his face still revealed a full vexation. His breathing rose and fell until his nose looked bloated, and his eyes were sharp in the direction of the sky whose hair was already shriveled.
“Udah, don't get too upset with people.” Blue kissed the girl's temple, trying to calm her down.
“Say, if pregnant women are excessively upset with someone. His son can look just like him, Ji.” Blue recalls a myth he had heard from his parents.
“You want, our Winter looks like the Sky?” Blue is like scaring a child.
“Yes don't want to, lah. He is not his father.” Sahut Orange ketus.
“Then the end is up, hem?” Blue said carefully as he gently stroked his wife's head.
Orange grunting. Throwing each other a moment's annoyed gaze with Sky, he then moved to his original seat. “I want to drink.” The ink was then, and Blue swiftly picked up fresh juice for his beloved wife.
While Shien who was looking at the appearance of the frowning Sky with a frowning face was just staring at him stiffly. They want to laugh, but not.
“Are you okay?” Shien asked doubtfully. He grimaced at the appearance of his handsome man.
“It's not fine.” Sahut Langit, still with his face bent sour. Part of her hair is falling out, how can it be okay? Huo.
