So In Love
EP. 67. Regretting

********

Well, Shien disliked this atmosphere the most.

Currently Sky, Nathan, Shanna, and Shien are on their way to Dufan with Nathan as the driver, they are in one of Sky's cars.

All the way, the sky was silent. He hasn't spoken since the warm shirt and elusan on Shien's head that Nathan did. In fact, Nathan has apologized and said that he did it only as a form of concern for an older brother who wants to protect his sister. But, still Heaven is jealous and can not accept it, he also warned Nathan not to need to do such a thing again, especially the touching part of his girl even though it was only a head rub. Nathan, who doesn't want to make a fuss, just agrees.

Meanwhile, Shien, he felt bad for Sky's attitude towards his little friend. Moreover, Sky threw Nathan's outwear just like that earlier. So childish.

The sky looked out at the car glass with a grimaced face.

While Shien himself was confused how to persuade the man. He felt bad because in the front seat there was Nathan and Shanna sitting there.

Shien exhaled a rough breath. It's not a good thing to go together like this. Because of Shanna, her romantic date plan with Sky was chaotic in an instant.

The sky was getting upset because Shanna who had been chattering all of a sudden discussed her childhood with Nathan. Not only the Sky, Shien was also irritated by it. It seems that Shanna did deliberately want to cloud the mood of the Sky.

“You want not, Shi, you used to play with sister Niel often to feed rabbits?” Shanna asked, she turned her head briefly back to look at Shien.

“Three of us, Sha.” Nathan, who was focused on driving, corrected.

“Iya, anyway. But I just got them to see you guys exclaim.” Shanna pursed her lips funny.

While Shien was silent, he refused to interfere in the conversation even if he was involved. The girl turned her head to the side, looking at the sky that was looking outwards, Heaven seemed to bite her thumb nails in annoyance.

“That's because you don't like rabbits.” Sahut Nathan, then added that he often pulled Shanna to feed the cute animal, but Shanna always did not dare with the reason kapok because it was bitten on the index finger when Shanna idly pointed it at the rabbit's mouth.

Shanna kept telling how close Nathan and Shien were when they were little, about Nathan always watching Shien, about Nathan and Shien who had a lot in common, and about Nathan and Shien who had a lot in common, then about the first thing Shien asked when he came home from school was whether Nathan was with him or not.

Shien grunted repeatedly as Shanna continued to chatter about herself with Nathan. Shanna was impressed to match him with Nathan. So annoying.

“Ohh, yes. I also want you to say you only want to marry Sister Niel at that time.” Shanna's chirps then, made the Sky instantly swerve sharply at Shien.

“That's just a little boy's babble that doesn't mean.” This time Shien answered. Upset by herself because Shanna seemed to take it very seriously. Moreover, he felt a chill from the glare of Heaven's eyes that were now staring at him.

Shanna grimaced, then returned. “Iya, anyway. But if you're married, it seems to be a good fit. You have a lot in common, a good couple. Moreover, Brother Niel is very handsome now.”

Shien closed his eyes to hold back the growl, not liking Shanna's words. Coupled with Sky continuing to be silent and looking at him annoyed as if he had made a mistake, Shien felt like he wanted to get out of the car and return home alone. Lost his passion for the streets to enjoy Dufan that he had dreamed of.

“Wahh, you sneer indirectly if I used to be ugly, so?” Nathan chimed in with the ringing and pretended to be disappointed. Shanna glared ignorantly, then said. “More or less, yes gitu.” The girl then giggled amusedly. Nathan just grunted to hear it.

“But you guys really fit, you know, brother. You have no intention of nikung Shien? You're also a lot more considerate of Shien than I am. You like Shien, huh, sister?” Shanna put on a meaningful smile, then grinned after she glanced at the irritated expression of Heaven and Shien who were holding back the growl from the rearview mirror.

Nathan laughed crisply to cover up his feelings that began to be arrogant Shanna's words that seemed to be trying to match him with Shien, and Nathan knew, and Nathan knew, Shanna deliberately did this to make the lovers sitting behind her misunderstand.

“No, lah, Sha.” Nathan smiled towards the sky who was looking at him sharply through the rearview mirror. “Partially, liking something that belongs to someone else is not good.” Nathan continued with great emphasis, intending to give a deep allusion to the girl sitting next to him.

“Happy 'no, got karma yes.” Imbuhnya.

Shanna was immediately speechless with a forced smile before she said. “Hey, I'm just kidding. Why are you taking it so seriously?” Then try to chuckle afterwards. Nathan only responded with a smile that was hard to translate.

The atmosphere surrounding the four people was silent for a moment. There was no more Shanna babbling as if the girl was running out of topics.

Just when I think you’re gone, hear our song on the radio

Just like that, take me back to the place we use to go

And I’ve been tryng but I just can’ fight it

When I hear it I just can’s stop smiling

I remember you’re gone, baby, it’s just the song on the radio

That we used to know

^^^Our Song^^^

^^By: Anne Marie & Niall Horan^^^^^

No one else spoke after Shanna's last sentence. Nathan apparently deliberately tuned the song on an audio tape connected to his phone via bluetooth in order to stay away from the silence that felt very strange. They let the song become the master of the conversation between them.

Nathan focused on driving, Shanna stared straight ahead with a pile of devious plans that she was neatly putting in her head. While the other two people were sitting in the back seat, both of them were unmoved with anger that was still entrenched in their hearts.

Exhaling weakly, glancing towards the Sky who was still putting on a frowning face, Shien then took the phone from his red mini backpack with his Cartier logo.

Shien then typed something to send a chat message to someone. Shortly thereafter, a notification chat ring was heard from Sky's mobile phone stored in the front pocket of his jeans.

Taking the phone out of his pants pocket, Sky frowned as soon as he read Shien's name on the 7.3-inch screen.

Shienka :

Still mad?

Sky :

Thought you?

Shien rolled his eyes puffed along with his heavy sighs as soon as he read the reply message from the Sky.

Shienka :

What should I do?

Shien turned his head, looking at the Sky with a cold gaze. Of course Shien did not want to apologize as he felt he had done nothing wrong to make the man angry at him.

The sky turned its face away while exhaling a rough breath. He also did not know, The sky was just jealous. Maybe he needed this girl sitting next to him to persuade him, not ask him that question.

Sky :

I'm jealous to see Nathan paying attention to you. Especially when you guys are very young, where you say you want to marry him all. So, don't close the possibility that Nathan likes you now.

Shienka :

I said it's just the silliness of kids who don't understand anything. And Nathan's attention is only a form of attention as a friend, nothing more. Besides I'm not close to him either, do you have to be angry with me like this?

Sky :

That's according to you. No one knows that in his heart, he might give you the same attention because he thinks you are more than that. And no one knows if you see Nathan as a man, not just a friend.

“Hhh. . .” Shien exhaled his coarse breath while throwing his gaze away from the Sky for then he typed in a reply message.

Shienka :

Just like you are the same attention orange. If so, can I also think that your attention is the same he actually also exceeds the attention as a friend?

Shien then turned his gaze out of the car glass while smiling smugly along with his tears that began to pool. Did Sky think that all this time he was okay to see his attitude of attention to Orange which could indeed be said to be excessive? The sky had even left her alone while they were spending time alone in the apartment due to one phone call from Orange.

Shien did not bother him because he did not want to invite a debate with the man. Moreover, since Shien had already decided to trust Heaven completely.

Meanwhile, Sky was immediately stunned as soon as he read the sentence of a reply message from Shien. He could not even move and stared at Shien who was not looking at him anymore.

Sky :

Geez, Shi, no! Don't think that. Trust me, hem?

The sky watched Shien who was still looking outwards at it. Sky knows, he's gone too far to bully Shien and thinks badly of him and Nathan. He was no different than Nathan himself. And the sky was also only realized if it turned out that his attitude was quite disturbing to Shien's feelings. Maybe something needs to be fixed after this.

The Sky Hand moved, grabbing and grasping Shien's hand gently, Lucky the girl did not refuse. Shien turned his head and looked at the sky expressionlessly.

In the next instant, Shien felt something tickle his palm. Apparently, Sky wrote something there using his index finger.

“M-A-A-F.” That was what Shien caught from Sky's index move as he wrote down one letter at a time to form a word.

“M-A-A-F – U-D-A-H – B-E-R-P-I-K-I-R-A-N – B-U-R-U-K – T-E-N-T-A-N-G – K-A-M-U.”

Shien took a deep breath, trying to calmly face the bully. Then, one hand that freely moved to take his phone. He typed something and then showed it to the sky by pointing his phone in front of the man's face.

“It's like you asked me to believe in you. So, can you trust me too?”

The sky smiled, then nodded steadily. He then raised Shien's hand and gave a kiss on the back of his hand for quite a while.

“Sorry to me, Shi.” Whisper the sky while cupping both sides of her girl's face.

Shien simply nodded in response. Then his hand was raised to touch the back of the Sky hand that was on the side of his face.

Their two eyes locked onto each other for quite a while along with a laugh that was stuck on each other's lips when there was no conversation they were pinning on.

Until a moment later, Sky suddenly tilted his face to reach Shien's lips. However, they have not had time to touch their lips, the car shook violently so as to make the two automatically pull away. Apparently, Nathan who saw the behavior of the rearview mirror, deliberately did that. Obviously, he did not want the atmosphere that was originally awkward to be even more awkward.

“Don't know where.” Nathan muttered in his heart while shaking his head was not out of thought.

While Shanna who was also watching it could only resist the growling with hardened jaws.

********

This was the first time Shien had set foot in Dufan. He looked around Dufan who was able to reach his eyes shortly after he got the stamp and entered the territory of one of the largest playgrounds in Indonesia. Shien only realized after seeing it clearly, it turned out that Dufan's clown who became the mascot was a proboscis. Her nose is so big.

Shien smiled as he looked at the people around who looked happy. However, it did not last long as Shanna's voice buzzed in her ear.

“Ehh, Lang.” Shanna snatches spoiled. He hugged Sky's arm, making Shien annoyed to see it. “I want to ride hysteria.” Spirituality says.

“Come to there.” And without giving the Sky a chance to resist or give resistance, Shanna pulled the arm of the Sky quickly and walked towards that quite extreme vehicle. An unlikely ride Shien can ride. Just imagining it was stubborn, maybe if he rode it, then Shien would go down in a lifeless state.

“Are you okay?” Ask Nathan.

Shien glared with an annoyed look. “What if you were me?” The girl stomped her feet, then walked ahead of Nathan, intending to follow Heaven and Shanna who had already walked quite a distance.

As a result, Shien enjoyed his first experience in Dufan which was not at all delicious with a frowning face. He was just walking in an uncertain direction with Nathan.

Shanna was actually acting out of bounds. He continued to pull the Sky here and there to ride other extreme rides. And Sky, why didn't he try to resist Shanna? Cih, Shien even saw him laughing happily after getting off from riding those rides. The sky is like drifting in a game of Dufan excitement and forgetting his goal for a romantic walk with Shien. He seemed to be concerned only with his own pleasure.

“Haha, what a thrill, huh, Lang? We should often walk together like gini.” Shanna said excitedly after they got off the kora-kora and walked in search of Nathan and Shien.

“Seneng really me. I have not refreshed as long as gini.” Sahut Langit no less spirit.

“Ehh, look. They're like a couple, aren't they? It's a pity Shiennya your girlfriend.” Shanna pointed towards Nathan and Shien who were chatting familiarly while eating ice cream. The sky paid attention to Nathan and Shien's familiarity, the look in his eyes sharply implying dislike of the scene.

And what Nathan and Shien are really talking about is Shien protesting Nathan. Shien says Nathan shouldn't have let Shanna go with Sky if he did. Nathan was supposed to take Shanna away for his secret stunt. But, Nathan instead replied he had no preparation for it. After all, Shanna looked like a stranger in her eyes right now. Nathan also said that he was still considering pursuing Shanna or not, even though he admired the colorful-haired girl. Nathan is in deep confusion at the moment.

Same with Shien. Nathan is a very realistic person. Shanna doesn't like it like she likes the girl. His love clapped one hand. Nathan thought, why should we choose hard love? We must choose the love that will make us happy.

“Loss of fighting power before fighting, basic coward.” Cibir Shien jutek's. In fact, do not remember if before he had even given up many times before deciding to be with Heaven.

Sneering, taunting, or insulting people is the easiest thing to do, even though the insulting one is also no less bad. People sometimes forget the land.

Nathan who heard that was just pausing didn't care. See, he needs time to think about it.

“Shi. . .”

Shien turned towards the source of the voice calling out to him. He then revealed a thin smile as his eyes caught the figure of the sky walking towards him.

“Udah?” Ask Shien. The man simply nodded, then directed his mouth, asking Shien to feed him ice cream. Shien.

“Lang, I'm going to. . .”

“Ceet, let's ride roller coaster.” Sambar Shanna quickly before Shien finished his words. He took back Heaven's arm and stroked it. Uhh, Shien's stomach suddenly nauseated seeing his sister's attitude like this.

“You can ride by yourself.” This time Shien did not stay silent. Enough's been kidnapped for almost the whole day. Shien let go of Shanna's hand, then rushed to hold Sky's arm. Shanna snorted in annoyance.

“Sky wants to ride extreme rides, Shi. He said he hadn't refreshed in a long time. You can't, can you, want to take him on a merry-go-round?” Shanna shouted. Nathan who saw Shanna so aggressively at Sky only looked at her pushyly.

“I want to go to the doll palace.” Shien paid no heed to his brother's words. He looked at the sky expectantly. People say, it is not legal for someone to Dufan if they have not felt the puppet palace rides. And Shien wants to see it.

“Ya already if you still want to play.” Shien's gaze turned disappointed that the Sky had never acknowledged him. Slowly, he released his hand from the arm of Heaven. But, the sky did not let that hand slip.

“Let’s go.” Excited the Sky, then walked hand in hand towards the puppet palace.

Shanna growled in annoyance behind them, then immediately walked over without caring for Nathan who was looking at her sadly.

“Why did you turn into this person, Sha?” Nathan muttered, concerned.

********

Apparently, Shien's plot isn't over. As soon as he was about to board the boat that would take him into the puppet palace, Shanna quickly charged over to sit next to the Sky, which should have been Shien's seat.

Shien sighed deeply to calm his emotions that had somehow risen to what number. Shien did not want to make a fuss in a public place. As a result, he could only let it go and sit with Nathhan behind them.

His co-policity melted slightly, replaced with a sense of awe as the boat walked on the water on a calm current. Shien was amazed by the cute-looking animatronic doll inside.

Shien smiled. That said, he was traveling around the world right now. Shien gave full praise to anyone who had sparked the idea of building this puppet palace vehicle. Anyone who enters there, then they can explore and appreciate the ethnic culture of the archipelago and cultural peculiarities and songs from various countries in this vehicle.

But, his pleasure admiring the hundreds of dolls disappeared instantly when he heard the conversation of Sky and Shanna in front of him.

“Bosen isn't, anyway, Lang? I think this vehicle is very exciting, there are no exclamations.” Shanna said, and it seems the girl deliberately raised her voice.

“Kayak aja small children enter kayak ginian.” Cibir Shanna while looking down on what is displayed inside the iconic building.

Shien then sharpens his hearing to find out how the sky responds.

“Actually, emang ngebosenin. Make sleepy.” The sky then evaporated. Shanna smiled with satisfaction at that. He did not expect that Heaven would give an answer as expected.

Shien looked down sadly. He regretted hearing that.

Inwardly, Shien thanked Sky and Shanna who had shown him that it turned out that Dufan was not as rosy as he had imagined.

Shien probably did not want to set foot again in Dufan after this.

“From the beginning, this is the vehicle I have avoided the most. I don't like this the most.” Sky added. Whether he was conscious or not while saying it, that obviously made Shien's heart throb pain.

Until without being prevented, the clear liquid that had previously pooled in Shien's eye pelup fell soaked his smooth cheeks. Luckily inside there was not illuminated by the extra lighting so her falling tears were nowhere to be seen.

Why didn't Heaven reject him earlier if he didn't like it? Though, Shien can go alone, really. Shien would not force it if Heaven did not want to.
