Still In Love's
EP. 45. Bad Morning's

********

Arriving in front of his apartment building, Jingga met with the Sky carrying a plastic bag containing soft drinks in his hands. Looks like Sky just came home from the minimarket.

“Need entertainment?” Sky Question greeted the Orangas as soon as they met.

The sky that saw the arrival of Orange since getting out of the car with a sad face and shaky steps, could not help but approach the girl and find out why her favorite friend like that.

“Can't you, anyway, you pretend you don't know?” Sahut Jingga accompanied by an amused grunt. Perhaps because they had always been together since childhood, making Heaven very sensitive to him, whatever efforts Orange hid his feelings.

“I also want to pretend not to know, but you appear with an ugly expression like that. Sad emotes are not suitable for you.” Ledek Langit, making an amused snort out of the lips of Orange.

“If gini–” Orange pulls both corners of his lips upwards, to form a forced smile. But sadness could not be hidden from the glare of his clear eyes. “Still ugly, no?”

“Makin ugly.” Reply the Sky while wiping the full face of the Orange with the palm of the hand. “Big bad. Orange ugly, ugly squared.”

“Ish.” Orang-ga only grunted, then he stepped back to enter the apartment building.

But just a few steps, Heaven called back to him, making the girl inevitably have to turn around.

“Still at nine, let's play basketball.” Take the Sky while raising his thumb towards the basketball court. “Part of us have not played together for fun.”

Smiling amusedly, Orange knew this was a form of Sky consolation for her.

It is nice to have friends like the sky. When he was sad, Heaven would not ask what was the cause of his sadness until Orange himself told him. The guy always has his own way of entertaining the orange, without having to feel pitied.

“Your hand is not sick?” Orange raised the chin on the hand of the sky that seemed to have been removed cast.

“Hmm.” The sky nodded quickly. “Buktinya yesterday I can carry the baby Bhishma. I can play basketball with one hand. You know, I'm better than Michael Jordan?” Connect with confidence.

A moment of Orange gazed doubtfully at the hand of Heaven. “Awas only if you lose.” Cibirnya.

The two then turned around and walked towards the basketball court as one of the sports facilities provided by the apartment.

“If I lose, what do you want?” Ask the Sky that walks behind the Orange.

“Eung, how about you sing for me? If I lose, I'll hear you sing.”

The sky clucked amusedly and bitterly at once, but did not protest. Tonight he'll let Orange get what he wants.

Arriving at the basketball court, Jingga tied her hair first, she smeared all her hair so as not to disturb when she played later.

The ball is in the hands of the Orange, the girl starts to bounce the basketball, then digribble it low so as to make it difficult for the Sky to take the ball from his hand.

The sky continues to chase the orange dribbling the ball. The guy is not giving up, but Orange is good at playing basketball.

When the opportunity came, the orange leaped high through the ring, the girl was like she was walking in the air. The sky was even flabbergasted to see him while quietly shaking. Age does not seem to affect the ability of the girl, it is still as great as it used to be.

“Slam dunk.” Orange cheered happily, proud of himself after successfully shooting the ball into the ring.

They keep playing until it doesn't feel like it's very late, they seem to enjoy the game with joy. Although sometimes the Sky snatches the basketball from the hands of the Orange by cheating, and vice versa. But it did not dampen the joy in their hearts, until Orange was able to forget the sadness in his heart for a moment.

They lay next to each other in the middle of the field after ending the game. The breaths of those who hunt each other are unpretentious, occasionally laughter escapes from the lips of the two.

“Old time we do not play kayak gini, yes.” Speak the sky while putting both hands behind his back to rest his head. His gaze was straight at the dark starless night sky.

“Emm.” Reply Orange nodded in agreement while doing the same with Heaven. The last time they played together on a tennis court, it wasn't fun. The sky only saw Jingga venting her anger on the tennis ball that time.

“Where are you out of?” Sky asked after successfully adjusting his breathing back to normal.

“Eat night.” Replied Orange briefly, his chest rumbling again remembering that.

“Sama Blue?” Ask Sky to make sure.

“Hmm.”

“Cock round-trip tangled face?”

Orange breathed a heavy sigh, then said the same. “The food is not good. She gave me cheap food.”

Again, Orange breathed a heavy sigh. He really doesn't want to talk about it. The sky understood and chose not to ask anything more.

“You lost. Cepetan sing.” Let's get Orange to divert the conversation.

The sky is not accepted. “Ihh, you were cheating so, where did you lose and win?”

“I don't care, singing speed.” Urge the girl. And for some reason, it felt like Orange was eager to hear Heaven sing. Jingga remembers when she was a child, often Heaven sang to comfort her, then she would laugh because the voice of Heaven is very bad and tone-blind.

Taking a deep breath, the Sky changed its position to be tilted so that it could look at the Orange, then he started singing .

The girl was stunned, the voice of Heaven was very pleasant to hear. His voice sounded melodious and soft like lullaby, Jingga enjoyed the sound of the song sung by Heaven, so she did not realize what the meaning behind the song sung by the man.

. . . . . . . .

. . . . . . . .

Now I realize you are the only one

It’s never too late to show it

Grow old together, have feelings we have before

Back when we were so inocent

*I pray for all your love

Girl, our love is so unreal

I just wanna reach and touch you, squeeze you, somebody pinch me

I must be dreaming, this is something like a movie

And I don’t know how it ends, girl

But I fell in love it my best friend

I fell in love it my best . . . .

“Hish, stop it.” Orange covered both ears with the palms of his hands when he realized the song sung by Heaven was quite sad. Moreover, the song from Jason Chen entitled Best Friend tells about a pair of friends from small who grew up together, together, until adulthood it turns out the man realized he had been in love with his little friend all this time.

Orange did not want to hear it again, either from the mouth of Heaven or sung by the singer directly. It would be sad if what was in the lyrics of the song happened to them. The orange shuddered in horror at imagining it. No, it cannot and will not happen.

“Ngeselin. Why ruined my concert?” Sky protest while grunting loudly when he heard Orange scream and asked him to stop singing, even though he was feeling good.

“This is the worst song I've ever heard. Uda, ahh, I'm going back to room.” The orange rose from his sleep, then patted the dirt on his shirt and skirt, before he moved away from the sky.

“Lain times, select the song title more bagusan. Your taste is really ugly.” Shouted the girl who momentarily stopped her steps to turn to look at the Sky.

The sky went to sit, staring at the departure of Orange while sharing a smile that was difficult to interpret. “Basic insensitive.”

From a distance, without them noticing. From the beginning there was a pair of eyes that were staring at them with hardened jaws during the sight of the interaction of the two there. His hands were clenched until his knuckles protruded, as if venting all his emotions there. The corner of his lips was attracted to form a sarcastic smile.

********

Arriving at the room, Orange could not resist the sadness of his heart anymore. He cried while bending his knees as he remembered Blue was more defensive of Luna than he was. Even more so, it is like that.

Want the full attention of Blue? To lie? Cunningly? How could Blue think so badly of her? Doesn't Blue think she's been too much with him?

How did Blue feel about her? Sometimes he's warm, sometimes cold. Blue is always fickle, and it leaves the heart of Orange confused.

Should the Orangas survive in the ruined sand castles? Wouldn't it just be a false and futile hope, especially if he only kept it alone.

Not wanting to waste energy by crying over the sadness of his heart, Orange chose to sleep. Orang thinks, sleep will be the best escape when he feels sad. Sleep will make him momentarily forget the sadness, pain, and anger in the heart. Hopefully when you wake up, your heart and mind will get better.

The orange began to close its eyes, take a breath in a count of four, hold it to a count of seven, and exhale slowly at a count of eight.

That's how the habit of Orange helps calm him, and reduce the level of stress and worry he experienced. This method makes it easier to fall asleep than sleeping pills or counting sheep.

********

“Still, Sir.” Say Orange while giving a piece of money a hundred thousand as a tip.

“Thank you again, Beautiful Doctor.” The parking attendant replied with a smile, before leaving. Orange just smiled faintly in response.

The orange approached the car and prepared to enter. But just as he was about to open the car door, he was suddenly startled by Blue who was now in front of him, and was looking at him with a cold gaze. Orange wonder, since when did the guy come? Why didn't he realize it? Maybe it was because the orange was daydreaming, so it was not aware that there was a guy coming.

For a moment their eyes locked onto each other. Silence, not a single word was thrown from the mouth of the two, until finally the first orange let go of their eyes.

Ignoring Blue, Orange resumed his intention to open the car door. But quickly the man held his hand.

“I'm in a hurry.” Said Orange in a weak voice, asking Blue to let go of her hand. It's too early to argue with Blue, Orange is really lazy if you have to start the morning with a debate. It will disrupt the focus of his activities later.

But not listening. Blue even pulled Orange to walk towards his car. Without letting go of his hand, Blue opened the car door.

“Log in!” Blue said in a cold tone after she managed to open the door. But even Orange fluttered, he looked at Blue with an annoyed look. Could that guy not force her just once?

“I brought my own car.” Reject the lazy orange while trying to release his hand from the Blue hand check.

Exhaling violently, Blue immediately grabbed the car key from Orange's hand and threw it deep into the bushes.

Orange was flabbergasted to see Blue throw away his car keys, it would be difficult to find, and maybe he would be late for work.

“BLUE.” Shouted the beaver orange, his face was already flushed red holding back the anger. Blue really made the morning worse. Really bad.

“I said, leave with me.” He said once more. The look in his eyes was so intimidating, as if asking Orange not to refute his orders anymore.

“No!” Push Orange firmly while throwing Blue hands.

The refusal made Blue have to force the girl's body to get into his car. Ignoring the orange who tried to rebel, Blue slightly pushed the body of the Orange until it could enter completely, then he quickly closed the door of his car.

After making sure that Orange actually entered the car, Blue then walked over to follow the girl in and sat down next to her. But before that he first asked the janitor who was sweeping in the yard of the apartment building to look for car keys belonging to Jingga. The guy realized what he was doing was wrong.

“Blue. . .” The call of someone managed to stop his steps that almost opened the car door. “Ngapain lo early in the morning already here?”

“It is wrong that I came here to ******my fiancee?” Sehat Biru ketus, his speech full of emphasis. His dark eyes stared at the sky with a sharp look.

“Yes, right, I'm just nanya. You don't have to make it hard like that too, kali.” The Sky is no less tatus.

“Gue don't need you familiar with me.” Reply Blue coldly, then prepare to open the door, but Sky's next remark again makes his hand movements stop.

Blue Eyebrow slightly raised looking at the Sky walking over to him, the guy looked at Blue with an unreadable look.

“Gue only wants one thing. If you are not able to love orange, release him. Let me do that.” Sky half-whispered, his words sounded solemn. The ordinary face of the sky Blue saw every day suddenly turned serious. “Once again you make him cry, I'll take him from lo.”

Blue fluttered, his jaw tightening restraining the emotions that Sky had caused. He's not stupid to not be able to interpret the guy's words.

“Do not hope!” Blue said furiously, barely opening his mouth. Then he got into the car, leaving the sky staring at his departure with a cold look.

********

“Never see another guy, let alone fit together with me.” Blue said when he realized Orange was looking at the sky that was still standing staring at their departure from the rearview mirror. Then Blue deliberately closed his rearview.

Jingga only snorted bitterly, then she chose to look at the road ahead, without issuing words of protest. Though his mouth was already very itchy to throw various harsh words at this guy who was sitting next to him. But the feeling of anger and annoyance at Blue who was still entrenched in his heart made Orange choose to be silent.

“Can't you just move out of your current apartment?” Blue asked after a moment of silence, Orange immediately turned to her with an unacceptable look. Instead of apologizing for the incident last night, the guy even re-ignited his emotions with a sentence like this.

“Why?” Ask Orange.

“It just so happens that I have two units at my place. You can stay there.” Blue speech does not heed the question of Orange.

Orange breathes rough, then say lazy. “The place I am now is good, really. I'm comfortable living there.”

Blue pulled one corner of his lips, forming a sarcastic smile. “Obviously you are comfortable, people live next to your favorite friends, and you can play as much as every day.”

Her memory floated last night, Blue overtook Orange because she felt she had gone too far to make baseless accusations against the girl. But his intention was to undo when he saw Orange even fun playing with the sky until late at night.

His hands clutching the steering wheel, his chest rumbled as he recalled Orange laughing loosely with the Sky last night. It felt like Blue couldn't accept seeing the girl laughing in front of another guy. Especially when I see the sky singing to him. As a fellow guy, Blue understood that Sky was expressing his feelings indirectly.

“Yes, you really are. I am comfortable, really, stay with Sky.” Sahut Jingga sebal while turning his eyes away from Blue.

“JINGGA!”

Hearing the words of Orange makes Blue's heart heat up again and automatically brake his car suddenly, until the body of both pushed forward. Luckily, there were not too many vehicles passing by.

Orange looked at him annoyed. “You anything, anyway, Brother? If you want to be wretched, yes wretch yourself do not need to jump on me!”

“What the fuck did you say that was?”

Orange smile on its side. “You started.”

Blue tried to scoop up a lot of air to find patience in dealing with the girl sitting next to him. Slowly he returned to his car.

“ Anyway I want you to move from there to my apartment. I'll ready everything.” Blue's speech did not want to be denied, even though he said it in a flat tone.

“I don't want to!”

“Stop debating me!”

“I'm not arguing with you. Anyway, why did you take care of my life so far? You don't have the right to set me up!” Reply Orange defiantly.

“I have the right to chat you because you have me!” Jerk Blue then to make Orange surprised. “I don't like you staying close to Sky.”

“Why? I'm the same he just lives next door, not lives with.” Orange breathed a huff, his eyes glazed over. He hates Blue snapping at him like this.

Once more. Orange misses the old Blue, very much.

“Ceiling likes you. And you have to remember, I do not like something that already belongs to me liked by others.” Sahut Blue is full of emphasis.

“I'm not an item, Brother.” The voice of Orange increasingly choked along with the tightness in his chest. Heart's hurt. “Lagian, who said the sky likes me? That's not possible.” The baby doesn't believe.

Blue clucked, closing his eyes while sighing violently. “It looks like you can't open your eyes well.”

“It's not you, huh?” Orange back quip. “Last night you accused me of lying. So, what did you just say?”

“That's different, because what I said just now is clear reality.” Blue Resist.

“And I didn't lie either!” Speak a desperate orange. He screamed in the guy's ear to say he wasn't lying.

“You have accused Luna of jealousy.” The guy was clumsy with his thoughts.

“That's bad, yes, I'm in your eyes.” Orange smiled bitterly, he then threw his body onto the back of the chair, turning his face away from Blue. Sometimes it is easier to let people with their own assumptions than it is to explain more complicated realities.

“Not bad, but the reality is like that.” Sahut Biru without turning his eyes from the street in front of him.

Orange growls in the heart. Trying to stifle his emotions. Just look, one day Blue will know how far Orange can survive to stay by his side.

“ Anyway, I'll still make you move out of that apartment. I'd say it's the same Om and Auntie. They will not mind.” Blue is back on the original topic.

Orange chose silence did not obey his words while exhaling a heavy breath.

“Serah.” Legut Orange lazy. He knew, arguing with Blue would have no end, it was just a waste of energy and time.

Arriving at the hospital basement parking lot, Jingga rudely opened her seat belt hook, then got out of the car and took big steps without wanting to say anything more to the guy.

Blue really has made his bad mood as bad as it is.

A bad morning for Orange.
