Still In Love's
EP. 17. You Deserve It

********

Not felt almost a semester of relationship Blue and Orange runs. There is no boredom in either. Every day, they do activities by following the list of rules they have made first.

Starting from leaving and going home together, having lunch together, then going for a walk or to the playground after school. Like children, they play with all the games available there such as swings, slides, seesaws, and more. The two are happy to play together and occasionally prank each other.

Not to forget, they also do romantic dates every Sunday and red dates. As much as possible both of them are looking for new ideas or concepts for their dates to feel more memorable and not bored like a walk to the mall, a walk in the corner of the city, a picnic in the park, and not bored like a walk to the mall, go to the beach, visit the contemporary cafes and iconic attractions in Bandung or out of town, and much more.

Not going well, sometimes they fight small and Blue is always the part that persuades when Orange is angry with him because of jealousy with the crazy fan girls at his school.

Blue treats orange very well. There is not a single day that the man hurt his heart, making the love of Orange grow bigger even though the possessive and forcing nature of Blue does not disappear, it seems to have been ingrained.

“A little bit more, come on, Brother, I want a horseradish doll. ..” Orange cheers up with the blue who is trying to get a doll in the claw machine. “Yaaa, failed.” The girl stared disappointedly at the unsuccessful radish doll Blue claw.

This Sunday they chose a walk in one of the shopping centers. Both of them play Arcade in Timezone. They try almost all the games there and compete with punishment for the loser must be willing to kiss the winning cheek. Of course this is a naughty idea Blue, but innocently the girl agrees.

Not wanting to give up, Blue put up full concentration to try to reach the orange radish doll he wanted.

“Yes.”

“Yeay, can.”

Both calling. The girl exclaimed happily, tiptoeing like a child getting candy so Blue managed to catch a radish-shaped vegetable doll, and involuntarily Orange hugged Blue.

“Thank you.” Said Orange pleased with the voice made cute while tightening his embrace.

Blue smiled anxiously at the cute and cute orange behavior in her eyes. I want her to bite the girl's cheek if she doesn't remember they're in a public place.

“Still doang, nih?” Blue asked with a meaningful look.

The orange frowned for a while, then his eyes moved around to watch and then tiptoed and kissed the Blue chin at a glance.

Blue gave a happy smile, her heart was flowery. This is the first time she's had a kiss from Orange. It felt like there were thousands of butterflies flying in his stomach.

“Hey, it's not cheek.” Blue pretended to protest while poking the tip of the pointed orange nose.

“Udah, don't protest. I don't want to admit it for the second time.” Said Orange while pulling away, releasing his embrace. Really, he was really embarrassed to do that.

Blue small clucking. “Current.”

“Sebodo. Udah, ahh, come.” The girl grabbed Blue's hand and led him to the photo box.

They began to install various styles when entering the snapshoot room and started taking pictures. Starting from formal, calm, romantic expressions, to the ugliest expressions they do, occasionally Blue's naughty hands and lips take the opportunity to hug and kiss Orange on the sidelines of photo shots.

“Ihh, cheating. You're the only one who's handsome.” Complaints Orange when seeing the results of their photos. The photo with a manyun expression looked ugly in her eyes, but adorable in Blue's eyes.

“Kan the beautiful is you, Ji.” Sahut Biru teased him to make Orange smile between shame and annoyance.

“Apaan, anyway? More pinter rombal you.” Orange snorted lazily while lashing out a slow punch at Blue's shoulder arm.

“You, tuh, beautiful with any expression. No matter what your expression is, I still like it. Udah, yes, we take the result, do not need to be repeated.” Blue seducer that automatically makes orange cheeks meet red. The guy then presses one of the buttons from the machine so that the photo comes out.

Blue took the photos and gave them one on the orange for them to save each.

“You watch now?” Ask Blue.

“Uhm...” Reply Orange nodded quickly. Blue then took a friendly orange hand and walked towards the cinema.

********

After successfully getting a ticket for his choice of film, Jingga sat in the waiting chair, waiting for Blue who stood in line at the stand of popcorn and cola sellers.

Orange smiled broadly welcoming the arrival of Blue who managed to get one big cup of popcorn and cola he wanted. The two then entered the cinema and sat down according to the number listed on the ticket.

Both were silent as soon as the film was played. None of them started to open the conversation. Blue and Orange focus on the film like a political news observer. But occasionally they stare at each other and hold laughter when accidentally their hands touch when going to pick up popcorn and cola.

Things suddenly turn awkward when the movie brings up a hot kiss scene. The faces of the two teenagers seemed to tighten as soon as they saw the scene, and subconsciously, somehow Blue suddenly grasped the hands of Orange and squeezed it.

DEG….

The girl pecked, her blood instantly rustling. He held his breath, nervous due to the influence of Blue's wringing on his palm.

“Eungh..

Blue awakens and quickly pulls his hand when he hears a small bellowing sound from the lips of Orange.

“Sorry, Jii..” The scales are down. He misbehaved, occasionally cleared his throat to neutralize the nervousness that enveloped him.

The orange itself just nodded. His face was hot until a red hue appeared there. Luckily the room inside the building was not bright.

Both are agitated. Awkward of each other. Orange chose to drink cola while Blue put a lot of popcorn in his mouth.

********

“Still for today.” Said Orange smiling sweetly while releasing the seatbelt shortly after Blue stopped the car in front of his house.

Blue hissing crazily. “The smile is ordinary, kali.” He stared at the beautiful face of deep orange.

“Haah?” The girl frowned not understanding.

Blue brought his head closer to his ear and whispered. “Manic is outrageous.”

“Ihh, dreadlocks directly from earlier.” Orange pinches the small waist Blue to make the guy chuckle small because it feels more like a tickle.

“I'm down, yes.” Pamitnya.

“Wait..” Blue holds the Orange arm that is preparing to open the car door. The girl just raised her next to her eyebrows.

Orange itself is no longer surprised by this. Perhaps becoming used to it now, he only snorted a little.

********

Orange stepped happily, climbing one by one the stairs to his room, the girl occasionally jumped small. Adorable, dis is like a rabbit boy.

The smile could not come out of his face. Today's romantic date with Blue keeps ringing in his head.

“Aaaakh.” Orange muffles her voice with a turnip doll that Blue gets for her from a claw machine. The girl's face turned red so happy.

Orange did not expect that his decision with Blue would be this fun.

“Where are you from?”

“Oh My God.” Pekik Jingga bearded in shock at the sky leaning in front of the door of her room, was looking at her blankly.

“Yeah, Laaaang. You know, don't you?” The orange protest rubbed his chest, then gave a hand instruction for Heaven to step aside as it blocked his path to enter.

“Where are you out of, Ji?” Ask Sky following the steps of Orange into the room.

“Street-path.” Reply Orange while throwing his yellow sling bag into any place, then walk to the balcony and sit on the available chairs there followed by the Sky.

The sky rolled his eyes puffed. “To where? Same who? How come you didn't take me?”

“Ke Mall, Lang.” Reply Orange without looking up to Heaven. His clear eyes looked at the starless night sky, probably due to weather factors.

The sky sighed while closing its eyes for a moment. “Whose name?”

The repeated Sky question left Orange speechless, also feeling guilty for the nearly seven months she spent most of her time with Blue. Bright because Orange and Sky have grown up together and always spend a lot of time together too long before Blue comes kke in life Orange.

“Ji...” The touch of the Sky made the orange scowl startled.

“Ehh, yes. It's the same – friends.” Replied Orange, making Heaven look at him suspiciously.

“Not lie to me. You've never been with a friend other than me.” Sahut Langit managed to catch the lie in the eyes of Orange. “I think I know the car that brought you earlier. The car also likes to take you to school every day, right?”

Fall silent again. The orange can no longer be evaded. Not in the sky.

Although the Orange did not tell the story, the Sky knew. He watched the girl from far away. Obviously because he was astonished suddenly Orange rarely played with him anymore. Especially when Orange asked him not to need to go or go home from school together again.

“Blue, right?” Sky ensure.

The girl was silent for a moment, looking at the sky with a guilty feeling. “Sorry, Lang. I didn't tell you.” Regretfully.

“So real?”

Hearing that question Orange just nodded timidly.

“Cieee, have a girlfriend now.” Ledek Sky while shuffling Orange hair.

The girl snorted. “But you're not angry, are you?”

“Hah?” The Sky's forehead frowned with one of its thick eyebrows raised. “Anged why?”

“Yaaa because I didn't tell.” Reply Orange still shrouded in unpleasant feelings.

The sky chuckled lightly with outstretched hands shuffling the orange hair once more. “No, lah. Why angry? I even went with the fun. You're grinning, aren't you, so her boyfriend is the most handsome guy in school?”

“Ish, what the hell, anyway?” The orange hit the Sky arm slowly while holding a timid smile.

“You desire. I’m so happy for you.” Say sincere Sky while slowly elbowing the arm of the orange shoulder.

The orange bit his lower lip while holding back his bashful smile. “Thanks.”

“Cieee, shy.” Ledek the Sky again while pointing at the reddened Orange cheeks. The girl just nodded.

“But I'm a bit disappointed, anyway.” The sky leaned his back against the back of the chair with both hands folded on his chest. The orange itself just looked at him questioningly. “You don't tell stories right away. Continues lately so rarely play and walk with me. We also rarely play tennis.”

“Sorry, yes. How about next Saturday we go to the tennis club?” The Orange Rose made the Sky develop its smile.

“Yang really?” Ask the Sky of doubt.

Orange nodded confidently. “Yep. Appointment...” Then he raised one of his little fingers which were immediately welcomed by the Sky.

“Ohh, yes. We can walk three, too. I know you as him, deh.” The orange after pulling his little finger. His eyes sparkled imagining himself, Blue, and Sky going together and having fun. They can be good friends.

“Iih, ogah. Ntar even became my congek. NO.” The sky crossed his hands while shaking full of rejection. Orange just grunted as hard as he saw it.

But the sky did not really refuse. He's just kidding, he won't mind. It's okay to add one more friend, it might be more fun.

“Ohh, yes. You don't tell me anything about Dad, do you?” Pinta Orange, considering the mouth of the sky is very bucket on his parents.

The sky was silent for a moment as if thinking, a moment later a ignorant smile fell on both corners of his lips. “Ayaaaaah..

“Iiih, Langiiiit.” Angry Orange upset immediately stood up and smothered the mouth of Heaven. His best friend is really shitty.

“Ayah Orange already has pa – embbbb.”

The cry of Heaven back Orange silenced as hard as he could. That night the two talked for a long time especially Jingga told a lot of things about Blue, throwing jokes at each other, also sometimes hitting each other. Their laughter was thunderous, disdainful with the song of the beast of the night.
