So In Love
EP. 6. Lollipop

********

The sky arrived at his apartment with a very lethargic face. Not intending to clean himself first, he chose to throw his body on the bed.

Exhaling heavily, he stared at the ceiling of the room with a blank look. No, it wasn't just his blank stare. The sky also felt a void in his heart. It's always like this, every day just after he gets home from work.

His gaze circled to every corner of the room, it felt very different. This room is so quiet. To be more precise, the apartment was very quiet. The atmosphere was completely different when the Orange no longer lived next to its unit. Usually, the girl will always bother to invite her to watch or eat together, either in her unit or in the girl's unit.

“Tadaa. Sky, let's eat together.”

The sky smiled as he recalled Orange standing at the door of his apartment carrying two plastic bags filled with food.

“Ceiling. Let's watch it together, I have a movie recommended.”

That was when Orange stood in front of the door of his apartment while clutching pillows and blankets. They would watch movies until the morning and sleep irregularly in front of the television.

The sky wiped away the tears that knew to fall just like that and flowed in the corner of his eyes. Ahh, he really misses his association with Orange apparently. He did not expect to feel lost until his heart ached like this.

The sky thought she had completely let go of the orange, but the girl still filled her heart and head. Moreover, the news of the Orange pregnancy that he heard earlier this afternoon made his feelings even more chaotic. He was happy, but his heart was sad too. He had lost the girl who was his first love, even though he knew that the orange had never been his.

Scooping his face violently, Sky then picked up his phone. Open a photo gallery, and display all photos of his friendship with Orange from the time of school until the girl married yesterday.

The sky smiled bitterly, letting all the photos move with the automatic slide. Leave it like this, let Sky remember his togetherness before he erases all the photos.

Yes, the sky has to move on. His feelings for Orange were not true, he could not torture his own heart like this.

Perhaps yesterday he had not strengthened his heart. But now, he had to do it in earnest. At least, starting from getting rid of all the photos of his memories with the girl. The sky will start there.

After the photo slide ended, Sky then deleted hundreds of photos together with Orange. Not to forget, the photo of his graduation with Jingga while in America who perched sweetly in his wallet also he was torn to formless.

“Goodbye my first love.” The sky stared at his picture kissing the orange cheek before he tore it off. It is still clear in his memory, when he stole a kiss on the cheek of Orange so that the photo shot was taken to make the girl beat him with a bouquet of flowers that he gave.

Now, the photo is no longer clear shape. Sometimes it takes a little extreme to forget someone. One of them is shredding photos like this.

Moving from his sleep, the sky then encourages and convinces himself that he can certainly release the orange after-after. He then got out of bed and walked to the bathroom to cleanse himself as well as his heart and mind that was always shadowed by the Orange. Not only that, even an orange was present in his dream every time he slept.

********

The sky came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel wrapped around her waist and a small towel on her head that was used to dry her hair.

The handsome man undoes his intention of walking towards the wardrobe when he hears the cell phone on his bed ringing.

Turning his heels, he then stepped his feet toward the bed where his phone was. The sky furrowed his brows as he saw a phone call from an unknown number on his phone screen.

“Doctor Sky . . .” Sky reflex kept the phone away from his ears as a boisterous voice rang out from across the phone almost breaking his eardrum. Though, the sky had just taken a swing to open his mouth as soon as he shifted the green icon.

“This is the Sky doctor, right?” Ask the person across the phone as if to be sure.

“Iya, myself. Sorry, who is this with?” The sky asked formally.

“I Shanna, the beautiful girl that you pulled her hair this afternoon.” For a moment Sky was silent, his forehead seemed to wrinkle deeply while trying to remember Shanna's name, but he did not find Shanna's name stored in his memory.

“You said you wanted responsibility if my neck is okay.” Imbuh Shanna when it is felt that there is no sahutan.

Suddenly the rounded eyeballs of Heaven were accompanied by his mouth which formed the O sign as he now remembered the girl who was talking to him on the phone at this time. She's the lollipop hair girl.

“Ahh, lollipop . . . , I mean, you were earlier . . .”

“Iya, it's me . . .” Sambar Shanna cut the sentence Heaven was about to say.

“Emm. How's your neck doing?” Ask Sky to the point. In his heart he wondered, was it possible just because of the little pull of the girl's neck until it broke again? I don't think that's possible. But why did the girl call him?

“If you're all right, I can't call you, Sky Doctor.” Shanna's voice is a little tart. The look of Heaven's face seemed doubtful, he doubted that Shanna was telling the truth.

“So, did your neck break again, loli . uh, Shanna?” Ask Sky to make sure. No matter if this girl was trying to deceive him or not, he would still be responsible. After all, the treatment of a broken neck is not so expensive for him.

“Not broken again, but the pain is getting worse. You have to be responsible.” Answer Shanna.

“Before, once again I apologize for the incident earlier this afternoon to cause your neck to hurt.” Sky is sincere.

“Dan please send your account number. I will bear the cost of his treatment.” Sky does not want to prolong the problem.

“But I don't need money.” The sky frowned in surprise when he heard that.

“I want you to be responsible in another way.” Shanna Imbuh.

“Other ways?” Ask the sky does not understand. He grumbled a little in his heart because he thought Shanna was very complicated. If you don't want money, then what does the girl want?

“Ya, other ways. Tomorrow afternoon, I will come to the hospital to hold you accountable.” Shanna answered making the sky even more confused. What kind of responsibility does the girl want?

“Tapi . . .”

“See you tomorrow, Sky Doctor.” Sela Shanna before then quickly hung up her phone.

“Lolipop . . .” The sky snorted in annoyance as Shanna hung up the phone at will.

“Hiish, so complicated as a girl.” Sky grouser while throwing his phone on the bed with a bang, then he again set his foot into the closet to take his clothes.

********

Sky opened the mask and the head covering as soon as he came out of the operating room after a few minutes ago he had liver transplant surgery on a six-month-old baby.

It seems that the baby's parents thanked him a lot with haru so Sky said that the operation went smoothly and their baby must have recovered soon.

After that, the sky said goodbye, then went back into the operating room because he had to immediately move the baby to the intensive care room.

“Doctor, let's have lunch together.” Take Mia to Heaven as soon as they walk side by side after a while and then get out of the intensive care room.

“Bby.” Sky replied lightly, making Mia cheer happily in her heart hearing that answer.

“What if it's outside? Noon until this afternoon doctor, right, there is no schedule of surgery and practice.” Mia's proposal later, and without a second thought the Sky again agreed.

“Both?” Asked Mia with a hopeful twinkle. “Yep.” Reply Heaven steadily while nodding his head.

“Yes!” Mia cried restrained. He was really happy, finally he could go together with Heaven like Hana.

However, his happiness did not last long as he saw a beautiful girl with an eccentric appearance standing in front of the door of the Sky room and smiling as he waved at the handsome doctor. Shannas.

“Hai, Sky Doctor.” The girl who appeared sexy with a mini dress tiger motif combined with denim jacket greeted the sky with a cheerful smile. It made the sky stunned. Not because of her sexy appearance, but her face. Her face was completely the same as the girl who was trapped in the elevator with her yesterday.

“Shien?” The sky murmured in my heart. Clearly he remembered the girl who did not want to accept his hand.

While Mia, the nurse was highlighting Shanna from top to bottom. Of course the eccentric girl was not a Sky patient, considering all Sky patients were children. Could he be the patient's parent?

“Doctor.” Shanna's touch shocked the sky who was even silently staring before him.

“Ohh, lollipop. What are you doing here?” Sky asked, reflexes he called Shanna with the name lollipop. Ahh, her hair really looks like a colorful lollipop.

“Kan semalem I have said I want to come here to hold you accountable.” Shanna replied, making Mia who heard it widen her eyes, because it felt that Shanna's speech was a little ambiguous.

The responsibility? Could Heaven impregnate this lollipop girl? That was the series of questions that came to Mia's head.

“Doctor, you . . .” Mia hung up her sentence, her eyes squeakingly staring at the Sky suspiciously.

“Mia, it’s not what you think.” Sambar Langit who did not want to make Mia think about her.

“Who was that? Your boyfriend? Not bad.” Shanna asked as well as commented as soon as she sat on the sofa of the Sky workspace. He did not avoid that Mia has a pretty face and looks like a calm girl in general.

“Tell me what to do, lollipop?” The sky did not heed Shanna's ravings.

“Shanna. S-H-A-N-N-A. You can call me Shanna not lollipop.” Shanna spelled her name because she had not accepted it since she kept being called a lollipop.

“And don't speak any formal language. Our age seems not much different, maybe also the same age.” His protest again while crossing his legs, making the mini dress he wore exposed to show a little underwear. Automatic Sky directly threw the sofa cushion for the girl to cover her thighs.

“Lain times, do not wear clothes lacking material.” Firm Heaven a moment after Shanna covered her thighs. He was not interested at all to see the black lacy cloth, instead he felt uncomfortable. It's really uncomfortable.

“This is called fashion.” Shanna doesn't care.

“Tiger clothes lack gini material spelled out fashion?” Sky in the Heart. According to him, not even pleasing to the eye, Shanna more like a sissy who wants to perform.

“You want me to take responsibility like how?” Ask Sky back at the main focus. This time he changed his way of speaking to be more relaxed.

“I want you to take me to work for a week.” Shanna's reply shocked the sky.

“Yaa?” Ask Sky widened his eyes in disbelief. Where there is such responsibility.

“Because my neck hurts more, I can't drive.” Sahut Shanna while holding her neck which is still mounted buffer, then pretending to grimace.

Yeah, Shanna was just pretending. Actually, yesterday at the doctor's check-up said that Shanna's neck is fine and can remove the buffer. It's just Shanna's wits to be able to get close to Heaven.

“Sorry, but I can't shuttle strangers.” Rejecting the Sky blatantly made Shanna snort.

“Then we can get started now.” Shanna shouted as she stretched her hand towards the sky.

“That's been a girlfriend.” The impact in the heart. Shanna then smiled to herself imagining it. This obviously made the sky that saw it astonished. You weird girl.

“Where? However, you still have to take responsibility and I don't want money.” Said Shanna later, he again reminded me of the responsibility of Heaven that had made his neck hurt again.

Exhaling his coarse breath while clucking lazily. Because there is no other choice, inevitably Heaven must agree to the request of this lollipop girl. He does not want to be labeled as an irresponsible person.

“Traffic to work, right?” Ask Sky to make sure. Not to forget he recorded his conversation with Shanna just in case because who knows this girl demands more.

“Emm, you can simply shuttle me to work from tomorrow.” Shanna replied confidently while nodding her head.

“OK, agreed.” Sahut Langit keeps the voice recording. “Now, please leave here. The door is still there.” Remove the sky then while pointing at the door of his room.

“Then it is, let's take me home.” Pinta Shanna instead of going straight away. In fact, the sky had already cast him out blatantly.

“It's valid from tomorrow.” The sky reminds me.

“But I don't bring a car now, I was here by taxi.” The sky rolled his eyes piddling hearing the girl's words. “Then stay home by taxi again.” The sky was getting upset.

“Do not want! Anyway you take me home. Point.” Reply Shanna keukeuh while folding both hands in front of the chest.

“I'm busy.” The sky was getting furious, it felt like he threw this girl from his room right now if he did not remember his mistake that had made Shanna's neck hurt.

“I'll wait for you to finish work. Here.” Said Shanna, she then leaned her back on the back of the sofa casually.

The sky looked at Shanna with an annoyed look. This girl before him was completely acting at will, in stark contrast to Shien.

The sky rounded his eyes perfectly as he recalled the ice statue again. It dawned on him, Shanna and Shien actually had similar faces. No, not similar. Their faces are the same.

“Hey, why you?” Shanna wagged her hand in front of the face of Heaven as she watched the man silently look at her face.

“I know, I'm beautiful.” Shanna confidently praised herself to the point of making the sky thudgle amusedly towards her.

“Wait outside.” The command of Heaven was firm, not paying any heed to Shanna who was praising herself. “Yaa?” Shanna put on a face full of protest.

“I want to change clothes first. You're not a pervert, are you?” Clear Sky then. Shanna was just oohh ria while smiling meaningfully, making the sky that saw her shudder in horror.

“Nothing, I just wait here. I'm willing to dirty my holy eyes, kok.” Said Shanna while highlighting the body of Heaven as if she was stripping it. The sky that realized that reflex crossed both hands in front of his chest.

“Exit or I call the security guard?” Threatening the Sky made Shanna unwillingly have to obey his words.

“Crazy girls . . .” The sky grumbled in annoyance, then locked the door of his room tightly after Shanna came out.

********

Shanna could not hide the happiness in her heart, her smile since had not subsided as long as the Sky was with her. Apparently, his cunning wits to approach this handsome doctor went smoothly.

Not only did he drive her home, even now she and Sky were sitting face to face at the same table for lunch.

Yes, it was on the way, Sky invites Shanna to stop by first to the restaurant because she has not had lunch. To be precise, he had not eaten anything since this morning. Actually Sky did not intend to invite the strange girl, but he could not leave her alone in the car. After all, without being invited, Shanna would definitely follow him. The sky is sure of that.

“Lolipop . . .” Call the Sky, stopping Shanna's hand movement that was about to put a piece of salmon steak into her mouth.

“Ya?” The girl's reflexes even though she had protested since she was called a lollipop.

“Eung . . .” Sky's face looked doubtful, but curiosity prompted him to keep asking.

“Do you happen to have a brother whose face looks a lot like?”

“Can't you be a little more creative? If only it was real.” Cibir Shanna because he thinks the sky is very long-winded. A brother whose face looks so similar? Of course a lot. Many cousins look like him.

“Twin brothers.” The Sky Explores.

“Ohh, Shien?” Sahut Shanna very relaxed, he then continued his delayed eating. In fact, here the sky is even surprised. “You're really twins?” Ask Sky to make sure, instantly his eyes sparkle. For some reason, since his first meeting in the lobby he was very curious about the ice sculpture girl.

“Yes, we are twins. She's my sister, younger five minutes.” Shien replied after he swallowed the piece of salmon meat.

The sky that heard Shanna's reply was quite shocked and relieved at once. It turned out that the girl who had caught his attention was not a double personality. Sky realized he had not moved on from Orange, but Shien really made him curious. Just tell me he's interested in the girl.

The sky then smiled, as if he had a gap to find out about the girl through Shanna. Although the girl in front of him is very strange and sometimes makes him uncomfortable, but there is a point as well.

“But I haven't seen him in sixteen years. He's like he's lost to the earth.” Shien added still with his casual mode.

The sky did not want to ask why until Shanna had not met her brother for sixteen years. He guessed, maybe they were separated because his parents divorced. Sky did not want to ask to that extent, all he wanted to know right now was about Shien. Where the girl lives, what her job is, has a boyfriend or not. Only such questions would Heaven want to know.

But unfortunately, it seems that Shanna will not know, considering that the girl said she had not met her brother for sixteen years.

“That naughty girl never called once. God fucking. Did he forget he still had a sister?” Shien then grumbled as he chewed his food in annoyance, so Heaven could not clearly hear him.

“Where is lost in the earth? He is, right, here.”

“I know, and I will surprise in a little while.” Sambar Shanna as she showed a strange smile that Heaven could not understand.

“You said you haven't seen him in a long time?” Next to the brow the sky was raised in confusion.

“Yes I, right, didn't say that I didn't know the same state of existence.” Shanna's silent voice made the eyes of the Sky again sparkle.

“But you know where Shien is here from? I mean, you know my sister Shien?” Shanna's real surprise asked was too late. It was only when Heaven found out he had a twin brother. How could he know?

Nih, Shanna's hair is like gini. 😅
