Still In Love's
EP. 19. The Graduation Day

********

On Sunday afternoon, Blue and Orange picnic in the playground, they roll out mats and picnic baskets under acacia trees. They deliberately choose the afternoon so that the park is quiet and they can be alone without worrying about anyone around.

The quiet afternoon atmosphere, the breeze moving the leaves adds to the atmosphere more comfortable. No wonder so many people enjoy the afternoon.

Blue splashed herself with her orange thighs she used as her head pad. The girl's hand she clasped and pinned on her cheek, occasionally she peed the back of her hand and fingers until the protesting orange felt a keenness.

“Aww, pain, Sister.” Orange squeals because suddenly Blue bites the wrath of his finger. “Ish...” Then with a whiff he hit Blue's shoulder softly. That guy was a whiny.

“Your fingers are jolly. I'll bite you like gini.” Blue again bit the small orange finger, but not cause pain. He's just anxious. Orange grunts amusedly at Blue's behavior.

“Ohh, yes, Ji. I want to go back to something with you.” Blue shuffled up as he remembered something.

Oranges fix the sitting position, his eyes noticed Blue who was busy reaching into the bag to pick up objects that would be given to him.

“This.” Blue brandished blue color pig character bag hanger.

“Lho, really, can?” Ask Orange astonished while grabbing the bag hanger. He thought it had fallen and was gone somewhere.

“Can, dong. His name is also soul mate.” Blue Smiles proudly. Orange just throbbing not returning his words.

“Say if something really belongs to us, then it will come back to us, no matter how far it goes or goes.” Blue Speak then who was replied by scorn by Orange because he felt Blue was wise and got his words from the quotes on social media.

“I'm serious. It was Papa I who said.” The Blue Speech did not accept the Orange sneered at him.

The girl rolled her eyes lazily. “Iya, deh, yes.”

“Kayak me.” Blue then re-spread himself in the lap of Orange, closed his eyes, and folded his hands in front of the chest. “I will always come back with you, no matter how far I go. You know why?”

Orange shakes. Blue's words also sounded ludicrous in his ears.

Blue smiled, opened her eyes, then grabbed her orange chin to pinch her in anxiety. “Cause you’re my home.”

“Yeah, I'm tickled by her, brother. Don't talk like gini anymore.” Cibir Orange while smothering Blue's mouth.

“Ihh, seriously I. How amused?” Blue chuckled after Orange released a hand clot from his mouth.

Orange again sneered. “The competition is very smooth. Experience, yes?”

“Yaaa all my experiences are the same as yours. You're the first girl I gombalin.” Said Blue while grabbing an orange hand for him to hold.

“Dan will be the second, third, and so on. There will be no other girl that I fight or get into my heart. My heart is locked for you doang.” Steady follow. The orange just laughs between the amused and may be happy to mix into one.

“Kok even laughed? Seriously me.” The Blue Protest scowled.

“Dengerin, yes. If only amit-amit, yes. Like my brain betrayed me, I lost my memory and you you disappeared from my memory. I promise my body, you will never disappear from my heart, you will always be in my heart, my heart will only beat for you, and my feelings will never change with you my whole life.” Blue is suddenly serious. But although arguably sweet, Orange does not like to hear it.

“What do you say, anyway, heeh?” Orange smacked soft lips Blue. The girl's face scowled dislike.

“And I told you amit-amit.” Blue defending himself.

“Ya still can't just say. I don't like it. What if it really happened try?” Omel Orange pissed.

“Eung..., if it really happened, yes, it must have happened like I said.” Reply Blue relaxed, making Orange growled and hit her lips again.

“Ish, so bad.” Blue protest while holding her lips. The orange just dodged annoyed no matter what.

“If you lose your memory. I want to find another guy.” Said Orange annoyed.

Blue eyes widened, he even inched up to protest. “Where can I like that?”

“Bodo.” The orange pengedik don't care. “Udah, ahh, males I'm talking to you. Eat it, niih.” Then forcefully cram a piece of waffle he took from the picnic basket into Blue's mouth.

And because of his actions, that afternoon Blue had to persuade the crabbing orange. A little regretful, he should have been able to hold his mouth back from carelessly speaking.

Now time is moving faster than before……

Time moves fast when we are with the people we love.

Today is Blue's graduation day. The entire class of twelve students wore their best kebaya and suits.

Nothing had changed from that school since their inception to a new student three years ago. It's just that now they inevitably have to leave the school that accompanied their growth to leave a variety of sweet memories.

Blue got the best student award, everyone was proud and congratulated him.

Blue stepped his feet onto the indoor basketball court. Albi, Bian, and Bhishma were waiting for him.

“Congratulations on our graduation, yeeeeey.” Albi exclaimed while firing a party pooper until the heads of the four of them were filled with confetti.

“Sad me. Must be very kangen with you guys, hiks, ma boys.” Bian mellow, considering they have been together since Elementary School, and now they will continue their education on different campuses and countries. They were obviously sad enough to have to part.

“It’s a good day, do not spoil the atmosphere with a bad masang face like gini.” Bisma rubbed Bian's face.

“Yep. And in a few more years we can go back together and keep shining.” Blue is proud. They then perform a groofie with various poses.

Shortly afterwards, a male student wearing a suit like them followed and told him to return to the Auditorium for a picture with a class.

“Goodbye SMA time that feels nano-nano, thank you for joining our growth period.” Bians.

Late in the afternoon, the orange sits under an acacia tree in a playground. The girl awaits the arrival of Blue who is still busy celebrating graduation with her friends.

Today is the last afternoon that Orange will spend with Blue before going to America in the early hours of the morning.

Orange looks elegant with a white dress made from lace from The Flower Season. So pretty. She chose that dress specifically for Blue from a week ago.

Silent roar enveloped the face of Orange, his face heated up, his breathing began to tighten, his emotions were not careless. As much as possible he blocked the tears that pooled in his eyes. She must not cry, she must enjoy the last afternoon with Blue with a happy face.

Orange hurriedly hid her sad face, the two corners of her lips she pulled as wide as possible formed a smile, looking at Blue who was now walking towards her.

“Kak...” Call Jinggga while waving her hand, trying to greet Blue with a cheerful face.

Blue sped up and hugged the girl tightly, and then Orange quickly returned the favor. Both of them were silent for a moment in that position.

“Do you love me?” Ask Orange suddenly, making Blue astonished.

“Yes.” Blue replied nodding, then drowning his face in the recesses of the orange neck covered in hair.

“But I'm not.” The sudden orange speech makes Blue withdraw to meet his view with Orange.

“Cause I love you more.” Imbuh Orange while on tiptoes and a glimpse of Blue chin. Then hugged Blue back tightly.

Blue snorted, yet pleased in heart. During dating, the girl never once said like I love you, I love you, I need you, and so on. According to Orange, showing love with an action is more romantic than words.

“Thank you for giving me my first love. I love you, Brother Blue.” Then orange.

“No, I have to thank you.” Reply Blue pulled back, then cupped both sides of the orange face and looked at his clear eyes fixedly.

The orange groaned with an amused smile at the corner of his lips. “I hope so.”

“Serious me.” Said Blue rubbing full face Orange.

The girl chuckled. “Iya, deh, yes.”

Blue only snorted at the sight of Orange who was still sneering at him.

“Ohh, yes. Mending we take a photo. You're kind of a pussy wearing that suit.” Orange pointed at the elegant-looking Blue clothes.

Blue scowled at the speech of Orange. “Kok pack rather, anyway? I'm, right, pretty good-looking."

“Eung how, huh? You are originally just a little handsome, anyway.” Ledek Orange full of emphasis.

“Ihh, ngeselin.” Blue's face again scowled, his lips conical, to make Orange hold his gel laugh.

“If you sulk, I'll kiss you ten times.” Orange pretended to be threatening while raising ten fingers of his hand. “I count to three seconds.” His gaze then, Blue still shook with her grim expression.

“One...” The orange began to tiptoe and brought his face closer to Blue's face.

The guy was still unmoved, deliberately challenging the Orange.

“Two...” Orange getting closer to his face, even the tip of his nose is already attached to Blue cheeks.

“Duhh, really, he's still on the shelf, anyway? I'm bluffing doang.” Orange Mumbles in the heart. He started to panic, he didn't really mean it.

“Tii.., udah, ahh, let's take a photo with.” The orange diverts the conversation and quickly pulls Blue's wrist towards the playhouse.

“She wants to kiss.” Ledek Blue, but Orange did not heed it and snatched Blue's polaroid camera from his bag.

********

Orange stared at the satisfied picture. There weren't many photos they took, just two poses. One photo with the pose Blue kiss the cheek Orange and another photo with the pose Orange kiss Blue cheeks.

“Kak, you save this one.” Say the girl while handing over one photo with the pose of her kissing Blue cheek. Blue according to and received the photo.

“Keep I keep this one.” Her baby then showed her a picture with Blue pose kissing her cheek, then she kept the photo in her purse.

“Cantics.” Orange eyes sparkling to see the photo now adorn his wallet. Blue just watched quietly.

“Where is your wallet?” Orange raised his hand, asking Blue to hand over the wallet.

The man complied, then reached into the pocket of his pants and handed his wallet to Orange.

Orange took the wallet and photo from Blue's hand, then began to slip the photo in place of the photo carefully to keep it neat.

“Ngapain, anyway, stored in all wallets? I have the file here. I can share to you.” Comment Blue that makes Orange immediately swerve.

“Yes let you always remember me. We'll have LDRan in a few hours. Just be careful if you are tempted by a bule girl there.” Orange's law is a little bit fierce.

“Jii..” Call Blue in a soft voice, then he grabs Orange's shoulder so they can face.

“Listen.” Blue hands clasping orange. “There are or no photos of you in my wallet, it doesn't really matter. I will always remember you. Forever you will always be here and here.” The man then led his hands to touch his head and heart.

Orange stared at Blue doubtfully. “Promise me.” Her request while raising her little finger.

“I promise...” Blue smile and link her little finger with pinky finger Orange.

“Ohh, yes. You should also take this. Don't get too close to Heaven, Ken, Obi, or any guy. Don't play with them too often.” Blue is reminding.

“Hmm.” The lazy Jinga. It was tired of hearing this phrase from Blue's mouth. Almost every day the guy says it.

“Ish, don't I say?” Blue snorted, then pinched the waist of Orange.

“Iya. Can't be clumsy with guys, satisfied?” Sahut Orange while smiling annoyed.

“Okay, good girl.” Say Blue while wiping the top of the head of Orange like a puppy, then down touch the cheek and end to wipe his lips.

“By this kiss, no?” Tanya Blue stared at the reddish lips of Orange. Suddenly the heart of the orange timid.

“Today I passed.” That guy seems to be charging for an orange promise. He then tilted his head to reach the lips of Orange. But quickly the orange held him back.

“T–wait.” Interlocking Orange.

Blue frowned, fixing the position of his head. “Why?”

“Later aja.” The orange grin stiffened, then pushed Blue's body and immediately got up from the playhouse and took a quick step to sit on the garden chair. His heart was pounding irregularly, Orange was not ready, although they had previously kissed when Orange fell asleep in the back garden of the school at that time.

Blue sighed, looking for a moment at the orange back that slowly moved away, then inching up to catch up with him.

********

The more afternoon, the Blue and Orange time to be together narrowed. The two sat next to each other in a garden chair, waiting for the sun to return to its quarrel.

They were both silent, immersed in each other's thoughts, and allowed the sound of the afternoon breeze to fill the silence between them.

A deep sadness enveloped the hearts of the two, remembering they would part ways after a year together. For whatever sake, Blue and Orange hope that time runs as late as this time.

Orange grabbed Blue's hand and grasped it tightly, then her head she leaned on Blue's shoulder.

“Jii..” Call Blue Soft.

Orange raised his head to meet the view with Blue. The two stared long enough, until finally Blue brought her face closer and her outstretched hand grabbed her face and kissed her.

Their lips fused together with the sky which began to turn orange, then dark.

Blue kisses her with all love and affection, infiltrating and slowly sweeping her moist orange lips.

The girl happily greeted him by opening her mouth, that was the last rule on their list.

The kiss lasted quite a long time, as if they did not want to let go of each other, unprepared for the thing that had to happen after this. Farewell.

“Do not cry, Orange.” Blue wipes away the tears that flow on the orange cheeks shortly after their kiss ends.

“It's only temporary. I promise to return as soon as possible.” Continue to then embrace the body of the Orange, hugging it tightly.

His heart was devastated to hear the sobs of the orange in his arms. That's hurtful.

“Or do you want me to stay here? I told you I wouldn't mind.” Blue roses do not have the heart to hear the increasingly sobbing Orange.

The girl shook her head, then withdrew to meet her gaze with Blue.

“I’ll be waiting.” Lirih Orange slowly. Blue smiled, then immersed his kiss on the orange forehead for quite a while.
