Still In Love's
Ep. 3. Who's Dis?
********
Orange climbed down the stairs with excited steps to the bottom floor, his feet then stepped into the dining room where his parents were waiting for breakfast together.
“This morning is neat, where are you going, Princess Crown?” Welcome Dad so Orange got there and immediately sat himself in one of the dining table chairs.
That morning the orange appeared sporty with tennis court clothes. He wore a white jersey with a blue accent combined with a light blue short skirt, thus revealing his level legs.
In addition to her beautiful face, Orange is endowed with the ideal height and body shape, so whatever she wears will always look suitable for her. Even his classmates said that Orange is a creation of God that is too perfect because he is also equipped with an intelligent brain and psychomotor abilities that make him almost master of various sports.
“Tennis club, snacking time to school wear kayak gini clothes. This part, right, Sunday.” Reply Orange while flipping the plate in front of him to fill the food.
“Lho, have you promised to nemenin Mommy monthly shopping.” Mother seemed to disagree, making Orange who was pounding fried rice stop moving her hands.
“Not Mommy says next week?” Ask Orange with a frown.
“Ya Mommy mapanin time. Our food supplies are running out.” Answer Mother relax.
“Lho, what is it?” Orange Protest.
“Ya loves Mother, doong.” Mother responded back to him casually, making Orange pursed her lips funny.
“Ihh, no, ahh. Same with the stars. I, right, have a plan today, Bun.” Said Orange full of rejection while glancing at the brother who had just arrived.
“No, I also have a plan today.” Sahut boy with a pillow face, but does not reduce his good looks. He joined the dinner table, Star.
Bimasena stars William, the first brother of Orange who is adrift of age six with him. The face of the Star is very similar to that of the Orange, so if she wears female clothes, others will think it is the Orange, and vice versa.
“Yes canuun, Mommy has three children, but there is no one useful.” Mother sighed in annoyance.
“Ya already, anyway. Count house decoration only, Bun.” The original orange chirp, made Father who heard it shake his head. There was only the answer of her daughter.
“OK. Two children here can only be home decoration, and the other one is out there. . .” Mother took a breath for a moment to then continue her sentence. “Mother sure she doesn't know the way home.” He continued, considering Sagara William his second son who was studying in London, England, who really liked traveling to explore various countries. His hobby makes Sagara rarely come home even though he is on semester break.
“It seems we need to be born another child, deh, Yah.” Said Mommy turning to Daddy who was busy chewing his fried rice.
“Eum..” Daddy tamppak thinks “Could be considered. Girls like funny, let the Crown Princess have her friend.” Next was accompanied by an amused smile.
“No, big NO.” The Jingga protest.
“God said, She has destined me to be the most beautiful in this family. You can't have a plan like that.” Orange scowls funny, making Daddy and Mommy look at him with amused and anxious gaze at once. And it also makes Father and Mother tickled to menjahili Jingga with the word sister so that the atmosphere of breakfast was heard so excited with yelling annoyed Orange.

The sky sits on the edge of the tennis court with a pink portable angina fan facing his neck so he gets a little cool after more than an hour of wrangling with a racket and a tennis ball against the like there's no fatigue. The girl is still playing with Bima, the head of the tennis club.
If noticed, Orange is like a professional tennis player. He seems to master all the techniques in playing court tennis so that he can hit the ball well and beat his opponent easily. Not only that, Orange can also make the opponent overwhelmed.
“Gue saranin, you are participating in the Olympics to represent our club, deh.” Said Bima while handing cold mineral water to Orange who is now sitting beside the sky.
“If you want, we have been a school representative for the Olympics from the beginning.” Sahut Orange before then downing the mineral water.
“From the beginning of entering here, I'm the same Orange, right, just want to doang, Bang. Not as serious as it is to participate in the Olympics.” Clear Sky reminded.
Academic achievements obtained at the school alone have been very troublesome for them, because the intelligence of both makes the school include them in various Olympics ranging from science, physics, mathematics, and many more. In addition, they are also required to become peer tutors for their friends who have low learning ability.
“Yes, have been given the same advantages of God, ehh not dipake. Pinter-pinter bego you guys.” Bima grumbled annoyed while throwing used plastic bottles towards the Orange and Sky. The two teenagers were just laughing.
“If I am born again, I will choose to be an ordinary child with average abilities.” Sky Mumbled while sighing long and exhaling slowly. Orange smiled and nodded little hearing it. While Bima put on a face of wonder because according to him Orange and Sky are less grateful for the gift that God has given them.
But it's not like that. It's just that the sheer number of skills both of them possessed made them unable to live a normal life. In school, they were too highly respected and hailed, it was very uncomfortable. Friends at school approached them with a variety of goals, and it was very insincere.
Therefore, the Orange and the Sky closed themselves to have another friend. They can be friendly, but not to be close as friends.
Long ago, the Orange and Sky only had each other as friends. There are no other friends. Plus the closeness of both their parents, as well as the soon-to-be-married Star of Dusk who is the older sister of Sky, make the two closer together like brothers, and they feel they do not need another friend.

The school just finished that afternoon. All the students rushed out of the classroom and prepared to go home. The roar of the vehicle engine and the typical mischievous behavior of High School children further add to the crowd atmosphere that afternoon.
Orange walked to the back of the class to his locker to store some textbooks that felt heavy enough to take home. Orange opened the locker door wide and entered the book. But just as he was about to close the door of his locker back, suddenly a polaroid photo floated down right at his feet.
The orange then bent its body and took a photo of the polaroid. His forehead creased as he looked at the picture of him sitting reading a book in the school library this afternoon during the break. This reminded her of the photo she had on her birthday a few days ago.
Orange flipped the photo, no sketch of the picture. Just a piece of writing. His view immediately highlighted sharply on the writing.
The back garden of the school at three in the afternoon
Let’s meet
Bi…
The orange blinked, then reread the writing like a message. His forehead frowned, just surprised that there were still people giving messages through writing like this.
“Who is Bi?” Orange wondered inwardly about the mysterious pretender who sent her the photo.
“Ji, let's go home.” The pat of Heaven on his shoulders that suddenly made the orange slightly bearded in shock, but did not make him turn around.
“Hey, what else, anyway?” The sky was astonished because the orange that was still pecking in front of the locker turned its back. The conscious orange then hurriedly hid the photo into the pocket of his uniform.
“Eung, you go home first, Lang. I can ask to pick up Dad.” Hearing that the sky immediately scowled in confusion, not usually the girl refused to go home together.
“Lho, why?” Ask Sky with raised eyebrows.
“I'm going to the bus first. I think I need a book for chemical duty Mr. Koswara.” Clearly the orange is a little lying.
“Ya I've done temenin.”
“Nevent gone!” Sahut Orange with a slightly high voice and looks panicked, making the sky squinted his eyes in astonishment.
“For all of you I want to teach Laura. You know, right, if Laura's worth is the smallest?” The orange rush added, and still lies of course. “So it will be a long time if you wait for me.”
“Ohh.” The sky was unsuspecting. “Yaudah, if so I go home first. You don't come home too late in the afternoon.” Order the Sky while shuffling the Orange hair. The guy then said goodbye and passed away leaving Orange in class alone who was still curious about the person who kept the photo in his locker.

The orange runs along the school corridor towards the back garden. The atmosphere of the school began to be quiet, there were only a few students who did extracurricular activities.
“Bi, grab the ball.” The screams of the male students were heard by the orange as soon as he passed the indoor basketball court. The basketball is thrown out of the field.
“Oke.”
“Bi?” Muttering Orange in his heart, his attention was quickly sidetracked at a male student who was running after a basketball.
“Obi?” Muttering Orange was a little surprised to know the student who was chasing the ball Obi, the bespectacled sweet guy from the next class who had once taught Jingga mathematics.
“Hai, Ji.” And it turns out that Obi heard the muttering of Orange. The guy smiled friendly.
“Hai.” Orange grin stiff. Orange wondered at heart, was it really Obi who sent him the photo? Butwhy? Obi can directly send him a message because they have exchanged numbers.
“Not home?” Ask that sweet guy.
Orange shook before then said. “Learn again.” The girl again smiled forcedly. “I first, Bi.” Then it went from before Obi who looked at him to the back of an invisible orange.
