So In Love
EP. 62. Just Remember I Love You

********

“Oh Yes, Shi. Today, how is the road not the same sky? Very tumben, usually not absent.” Fina asked in astonishment, considering that every day, precisely after returning home from work, Shien would spend some time together with Sky. Whether it's just being alone in the office or going to certain places, instead of inviting him to hang out enjoying the afternoon atmosphere on the balcony of a cafe.

Shien fell silent, recalling what happened last night at Tania's wedding reception, to the point of getting carried away on his uneasy feelings. As soon as the shadow of the incident flashed, Shien pursed his lips, his forehead appearing slightly folded. There's a scratch of anxiety there.

And ever since Sky drove him home last night, Shien silenced the man, also avoiding communication with the Sky of any kind.

His feeling was suddenly broken.

Shien let out a furious breath, his one hand stirring the ice blended which he had not yet drunk using a straw.

“Shien?” Fina waved her hand in front of the girl's face. However, Shien remained unmoved in his position.

Fina scowled, strange with Shien's attitude today being more reserved than usual.

The girl also did not concentrate on her work today. Fina noticed, Shien kept on dumbly talking the entire time. Some of the company's reports that must be checked are also neglected.

“YA PARDON RAIN, CLOTHES HAVE NOT BEEN LIFTED.” Fina screamed in panic, making Shien aghast and automatically dived outwards to make sure the rain was right or not.

In the next instant, Shien immediately snorted as he threw back his back on the back of the chair. He then raised an annoyed look at Fina who was even whiny because of Shien's reflex reaction.

After all, why did Shien have to panic? Since when did the girl try to lift the clothesline? Ccc . . . .

Then, without warning Shien threw a piece of pastry into Fina's face, but Fina was able to catch it and immediately put it in her mouth.

“You're still dumb.” Fina's words sounded less clear as her mouth was full of food, but Shien was capable enough to interpret them.

Shien again snorted, then looked at Fina irritatedly.

Sipping the coffee blended to push the food that had been chewed into the esophagus, Fina then looked back at Shien. Pretty serious.

“You want a story?” It was as if he understood the unease that was engulfing Shien's mind and heart.

Shien was still speechless with an eyebrow raised next to him. The story? What stories? After all, he is not a person who likes to share stories with others.

“Shien, humans are social creatures. There is no harm if we share feelings.” Fina Fishing.

Perhaps because Shien had always preferred to harbor his own feelings, unknowingly the girl became a slightly different person from being consumed by his feelings, so that he becomes a person who does not care about anyone or anything.

“And I am no one else either, Shien. We are not people who have known for a year or two. You're not alone, Shi. You can tell if there is a problem.” Imbuh Fina, hoping Shien can open up to her. She was no stranger, Fina would stand beside Shien to support her, no matter what.

Exhaling a weak breath, Shien then looked at Fina doubtfully. Maybe, there was no harm if he tried. Then, stammering, Shien told him what had happened last night. Especially Terry's words that until now were still ringing clearly in his head, as if Shien was carrying his tape everywhere.

“What is the view of others? Can't I be with someone I like just because I'm sick?” Shien smiled bitterly accompanied by a heavy sigh.

“Which I know, Shien it's not easy to drop.” Fina took a sip of her drink for a moment and then she returned. “Shi, who told you to fall for someone else's words? You do not realize that Heaven is sincere with you?”

The feeling of the Sky sincere? Yes, Shien knows that well. He also felt it. But, Terry's words really affected his mind. Was it true that he was too greedy for wanting to have that near-perfect Sky by his side?

“However Terry's views are the same as yours. Believe me, deh, it's because he's jealous because he can't get the heart of Heaven. No one has the right to determine whether it is appropriate or inappropriate for us to be in a relationship with someone.”

Shien blinked, looking at Fina with a dejected look. Is it really like that? Or is Fina just entertaining and encouraging her?

“What else do you doubt, Shien?” Ask Fina. Shien was silent not answering.

“He loves you, just the way you are. You remember that.” Add Fina full of emphasis.

Shien was still speechless, staring at Fina skeptically. The next second, he woke up. Aware that he must not doubt, much less waste the sincerity of Heaven.

Shien had already gone so far, nothing could stop him from continuing to love and be with Heaven. Others have no right to make decisions about their lives, no matter what.

********

Shien stood before the door of the apartment, his head lowered, watching his feet kicking the floor in a slow motion.

It has been more than an hour and a half he waited for the owner of the apartment, but the awaited never came. Until a while later, the clattering of footsteps pulled Shien up to raise his head, then turned towards the source of the sound the footsteps were coming from.

Shien smiled faintly, welcoming the Sky that was now walking towards him. The man's steps looked lethargic, as well as his unkempt appearance as usual. Look shabby with a shirt that has been removed from between the pants on his waist and the sleeves of a shirt that rolled carelessly.

“Yes, Shi.” The sky flashed hugging Shien tightly as soon as he managed to approach her. “Where are you going today, haem? From the morning I didn't stop the phone with your chat, but you just kept ignoring it. I picked you up this morning, too, but you left early. I went to your office but said you were out. Keep coming home from work I'm in your office again to pick you up, but. . .”

Sky did not continue his words, he was still too worried because Shien had ignored him since last night, and now he was happy to see Shien coming alone to his apartment.

“Where are you going, Shi? I feel like I want to die because I can't see you all day and hear from you.” The Sky revealed the uneasiness of his heart all day.

The sky closed its eyes as it buried its face between Shien's scattered hair, then inhaled the scent of the girl's body deeply, making his feelings slowly start to be relieved.

“Author.” Cibir Shien as he stroked the soft Sky's back, trying to make the man calm down along with his seemingly messy roar of breath.

“Emang reality is like that, kok.” Sahut Langit while withdrawing to meet his views with Shien.

“Jadi. . .” Both hands then cupped the side of Shien's face and looked at the girl fixedly. “Do not ever avoid or ignore me again, no matter what.” His request was full of requests, as if understanding why Shien had avoided it today.

Shien tiptoed while leaning his arm around the neck of the Sky, then without hesitation he snatched the lips of the Sky at a glance. “Yes, Doctor.”

The sky blinked, quite a surprise with what Shien was doing. “Tumben?” Ledeknya. However, it actually made Shien blush.

“Ngeselin.” Shien grunted as he smacked the chest of the Sky slowly. While Sky only chuckled at the annoyed face Shien had always adorable in his eyes.

Before long, Sky suddenly grabbed Shien by the waist, bent slightly and lifted Shien's body.

The girl was a little surprised that a screeching sound was stuck out of her mouth, but she naturally wrapped her legs along the waist of Heaven, her arms tightly hugging the man's neck to hold on.

“Open the door.” Decalogue.

“Mending you get off me, deh.” Advice Shien.

The sky shook firmly. “Udah chests enterin passcodeya.”

Shien clucked in annoyance. “Passcode?”

“Six digits.” Sahut Langit. Shien then hit the man's back hard. “Yang bener.”

The sky was soft. “Independence day Indonesia.”

“I did not expect, it turns out that your kayak representative has a spirit of nationalism as well.” Shien said with one hand began to enter one by one of the six digits to keep the door open.

After the door opened, the sky went straight in, walked over to the kitchen section and sat Shien's body on the dining table.

For a while, they sat against each other, Heaven gazing at the clear eyeballs that were in front of him.

“Shien. . .” Call Sky.

“Hum?” Shien shrieked, next to his eyebrows raised slightly.

Sighing deeply, Heaven looked at the girl's face fixedly. “Pronouncements of others who hurt you, don't be horrified.”

Shien was speechless, he knew what Heaven meant to refer to. Must have been Terry's words last night.

“Hem?” Ask Sky because Shien never followed him, next to his hand outstretched to gently caress Shien's cheek.

“Shien?”

“Iya.” Shien answered softly, then scattering his arms around Heaven, drowning his face in the chest of the male field.

The sky peaked Shien's head long enough. The sky was really afraid that a cheap sentence like the one Terry had thrown or a similar sentence that others had said would affect Shien's feelings and outlook on him.

He loved Shien deeply without regard for his weaknesses, after all he was not a perfect person either. Then, why would anyone else have the heart to say such hurtful words to Shien?

“Do not easily falter, Shien.” The sky held Shien tightly as if afraid if the girl left. “Just remember I love you. More than I can say, just remember I love you.” Then again landed a kiss on the top of Shien's head deeply, as deep as his love for the girl.

Shien felt his heart warm as soon as he heard the Sky's speech. He became aware of his own stupidity. He should not have been influenced by Terry's words. Shien was ashamed of having already made Sky stress all day looking for him.

“Sorry. . .” Chirp Shien in the man's arms.

Sky grunting. “Apologies where enough is enough. You've been stressing me all day until my head feels like breaking tofu no, Shi?”

Shien slightly withdrew without letting go of his embrace, then looked up to reach out his gaze with the Sky. “Terus?”

The sky pointed at his own lips without saying a word.

“Iish.” Shien patted Sky's shoulder between gauntlet and scowl all at once. He then threw away his gaze with a timid face.

“Why?” The sky pulled Shien's face back to face him. “So it's on the doorstep, you've ci. . .”

Shien quickly silenced Sky's mouth using his palm.

It was spontaneous, outside of his consciousness. So, if Sky had asked Shien to kiss her in a conscious state, it was obvious Shien was unwilling to do so. Although it had been a lot, but Shien was still too embarrassed to do it first.

Shien reflexively distanced his hand as he felt the tongue of Heaven licking his palm until it was wet. “Jorok, ihh.”

“Bodo.” Sahut Langit while sticking his tongue soft.

Shien looked at her annoyedly followed by her pursed lips, making Heaven squashy and reflexively giving a brief kiss there. “Udah don't swoop around her lips. So want me to lock it in the room know, no?” Threaten her later with a smile.

Spontaneous Shien hit the arm of Sky that was still at ease teasing him. “Rese you.”

“Newly know, yes?” The sky smiled obliquely.

“Iya, really good.” Shien glared at the face of Heaven that was getting closer to him.

Slowly, Shien closed his eyes as the distance of their faces grew closer. However, he did not feel anything touching his lips, as what Shien felt right now was his shoulders being quite heavy as Heaven dropped his head there. Shien bit his lips in embarrassment. Ahh, the sky teased him again.

While the returning Sky had managed to tease her girl it was just an amused smile behind Shien's shoulder.

“Shi. . .” Call the Sky after a moment of silence. Shien felt the breath of Heaven sound heavy.

“There's something?” Guess Shien who felt that Sky was thinking about something.

Breathing out loud, the sky hesitated. “I feel guilty same Terry.”

Shien fell silent, his hands moving up and down, gently rubbing the Sky's back.

“I've never been that rough with a girl, Shi. But last night I was so emotional. I don't hate Terry, but I don't like his words. And maybe I can do more than that if you like why-napa.”

Shien fleshy. Whether he should be happy or not because the Sky has defended him to the extent.

Sighing deeply, Shien tried to be heartened. “Then you have to apologize to him.”

Personally, Shien was actually less fond of the idea. But, Shien realized that sometimes he had to see things from another point of view. Therefore, beyond personal feelings for Terry and Sky, Shien felt that the idea was not an extraordinary idea. It was just as good as the sky did. With a note, if the sky does feel guilty.

“You don't mind?” The sky withdrew in order to be able to look at the beautiful face of the girl. Shien only shook his head softly in response, although it was actually in Shien's heart that Shien was not willing that Heaven should meet Terry.

The sky smiled faintly, Shien was so understanding. Sky promise, he won't disappoint the girl.

“Sorry, Shi, because I let you see something you shouldn't. You must be surprised, right?”

“Slight.” Shien replied slowly, too slowly to barely whisper.

Shien was indeed surprised to see the Sky doing violence, especially to a girl. But Terry's remarks to her were much more painful. So, according to Shien, the slap from Heaven was actually quite a reply to Terry's outrageous attitude towards him.

“I love you, Shien.” Reveal sincere Sky.

Shien replied to her with a loving look. “I also.”

And not long after that, the sky brought his face closer. Until their noses touched, the sky tilted its face, then brought their lips together.

No matter the time, they continue to express their love through deep, warm, and long kisses. Take the oxygen supply several times, then put it together again.

The lip link slipped off as Shien's bellied stomach rang out. They then pulled away, creating distance while chuckling slowly.

“You haven't eaten?” Ask the Sky with a faint smile.

Shien nodded shyly. Ahh, the tummy ringing is indeed quite an embarrassing event.

Shien had indeed not eaten properly all day. Even the afternoon snack when he was in the cafe with Fina was not touched at all.
