Still In Love's
EP. 46. If

********

“Tia?” Ask Jingga so read the name listed in the wedding invitation that Heaven just gave her. The girl's eyebrows were linked, trying to remember the person who had invited her to the wedding.

“Friends of our class, Ji. What you used to like to teach, you know. You were a tutor the same age as him at that time.” The sky helps to remind. He was made a gripe, himself, but in the invitation there is a photo of Tia very clear, but Orange still has trouble remembering it.

“Ohh, that Tia. Wow, exciting, here, can all reunion.” Orange exclaimed happily when he managed to find Tia in his memory. For a moment he was silent, his eyes focused on seeing the time of the event to be held next week.

“Where is it?” Ask Orange later. The sky rolled his eyes puffed up, one of the Orange's habits is to just read the name and date of the event on the invitation, always unwilling to finish to read the whole thing.

“I'm sure you can still read, Ji.” The sky grunted in annoyance.

“Ngapain I'm having a hard time reading if you can tell me?” Said Jingga relaxed while fanning herself with the invitation paper. For some reason, Orange felt his body was very hot, even though he was under a tree in the garden next to the hospital. It looks like it will rain, visible from the sky which is getting dark because it is filled with cloudy clouds, maybe that's the reason why Orange feels sultry.

“How to do in Lembang, outdoor, sky blue dress code.” Replied Sky lazily, he then took a sip of the soda in his hand to refresh his throat that felt dry.

“Wow, I'll look as pretty as Elsa if it were.” Exciting Orange enthusiastic. The sky did not respond to him, the guy just tickled looking at the orange who was imagining himself would be as beautiful as Elsa. Basic women, always excited about appearance.

“Lang, Lang.” Orange furiously patted Sky's shoulder arm. “According to you, I need hair color too, no?” Ask then with sparkling eyes.

“Don't be weird, there you look like old grandma.” The sky sneered as it rubbed the face of the Orange with its palm furiously. However, a second later he let out a disgust as he realized Orange was deliberately licking his palm.

“Tomorrow, Ji.” Sky protest was upset, he then looked at his palm with a look of disdain.

“Americano.” Say Jinggga while sticking out his tongue.

“Idiot.” The sky grunted in annoyance. Orange chuckles amusedly looking at the face of the Sky that was bent because of it.

The girl stopped chuckling as she felt raindrops drench her face. He then raised his hand, the more rain.

“Lang.” Orange looked towards the sky with a panicked face. “Rain.”

“Come run.” The sky rose from his seat, then with a reflex move he grabbed hold of an orange hand and pulled it to run into the hospital.

They arrived at the hospital lobby with gasps. Obviously because they ran in a hurry to avoid the rain that came without warning before. They laughed when they saw each other soaking wet like cats.

“Haha, you're like a cat, Ji.” Ledek Sky chuckling.

“If I'm like a cat, you're like a mouse. Look, you're so ugly with wet hair like that.” The orange is melting back while poking towards the flattened hair of the sky.

“It's not sexy?” Sky asked as he restored his hair to show off his wide forehead which he rarely showed. Her wet hair looked a little messy after she had restored it, it did indeed look very sexy to anyone who saw it, including the Orange.

For a moment Orange was stunned. Since when did Heaven become an adult male? It is still clear in the memory of Orange when the sky was a child, the guy was just a snot, geeky, and thin-bodied krempeng, boy, there was almost no sign of growing up to be the handsome, masculine guy that Orange sees today.

“Eung, you look sexy, anyway. But that's if my eyes are myopic. And since my eyes are still normal, so it looks more like Jerry's raining down.”Sahut Orange is softened. The sky snorted bitterly, then with anxiety he pulled the orange nose to make the girl complain of pain.

“Seru really like.” The cold voice of someone instantly froze the atmosphere in the cold rain.

The sky released its hands from the nose of the Orange when it saw Blue who was suddenly there already behind them, was staring at them with a cold gaze. His gaze was directed straight at the cluttered hands of the Orange and Sky. The sky woke up, he hurriedly extended his hand.

“Sorry, Ji.” The sky is not so good. The orange itself just nodded without question.

“Lo don't get me wrong, I had a reflex to pull the hand of Orange.” The Blue-conscious Sky Imbuh did not like the scene he had just seen in front of him..

“Follow me, Ji.” Blue's cold voice sounded filled with emotion, making the Orange unable to refute.

“Ji . . .” The sky seemed worried that there would be a misunderstanding between them. Very clear from the look of Blue's face that looks unfriendly.

“I’ll be fine.” Orange turned his head for a while, smiling to calm the Sky before he finally followed Blue's steps.

When they felt they had walked far enough from the reach of the crowd, Blue pulled the hands of Orange and took him to a quieter place, the emergency stairs. Blue deliberately brought Orange to the emergency stairs, considering the place is rarely visited by people.

Blue threw out Orange's body, cornering her behind the door while clutching her arms, but Blue still knew the limit of not hurting the girl's arm.

“Good, yes, hold-handling same other guys.”

Blue looks angry when he says that. His gaze crossed sharply, making Orange slightly shudder in fear. However, as much as possible he hid it and tried to be calm.

“Langit just accidentally pulled my hand, he reflexes ngajak me running when the rain suddenly tur–”

“Reason.” Sela Blue, the corner of her lips attracted cynically. Emotions raged in his heart as he found Orange and Sky clasping hands while laughing together. Moreover, with how dare the hand of Heaven touch the nose of Orange. If you don't remember being in the hospital, it would be very much like Blue to break Sky's hand right then and there.

“You like to skinship with him. Maybe behind me, you guys are doing more than just handrails.”

“I don't know what you mean, Kak.”

Blue clucked, then smiled obliquely. “Yeah, maybe a kiss, or more than that. Just you do not want to move apartment.”

Orange clear eyes widened, chest rumbling violently. He was disappointed, angry, and sad at once. Blue had actually already managed to instill bit by bit hatred in his heart. Orange hates Blue like this.

“If you don't believe, yes. You ever want to hear my explanation, let alone accept it. Please Think as you please, and you will regret it later.” The tone of the voice of the orange is rising. He then jerked Blue's hand checks until it slipped from his arm.

Self-defense like anything will be in vain, the guy will just close his eyes and ears. For that, Orange chose to be silent not to respond.

Orange pushed strong Blue chest until the guy staggered slightly back, apparently pent up anger made the orange energy become bigger. Orange was about to climb up the stairs, but for a moment he turned around and kicked Blue's knee with all his might, as if giving off an emotion that he had been holding back.

“What is pain?” The corner of the orange lips is attracted to form a grin when you see Blue who looks at him sharply while holding pain in his knees. The guy was silent.

“That's nothing compared to the pain you love me.” The orange then passed away leaving Blue, running through the emergency stairs quickly. Hoping for the pain in his heart to disappear as his strength drained while climbing one by one the stairs up to the eighth floor.

Pausing for a moment, Jingga took a deep breath to fill her airy lung cavity. Although his heart was wounded, Orange did not want to throw away his tears for all the things that Blue accused him of. He must not lose by crying over things he did not do.

It won't. The orange won't fill that guy up again from now on.

Better he think of how to escape this stifling matchmaking. Stupid time with Blue healing. Orange will not care anymore Blue will remember it or not, after all he also intends to leave. If the orange leaves, then the Blue must forget it. So, it's okay if Blue's memory of him doesn't come back.

Orange back up his legs, he smiled, it was not an easy thing to maintain what was originally fine, suddenly changed drastically to be very bad.

********

The bisma who was walking in the corridor saw an orange coming out from behind the emergency door with a cat-like appearance splashing down, unable to help but greet him.

“Why is it wet? Why go through the emergency exit? Is the lift broken?” Bisma asked in a row, making Orange roll his eyes lazy.

“So I was rained on the outside, the elevator wasn't damaged, and I was again sporting.” Reply Orange with a lazy tone while walking side by side with Bhishma.

“You have to change clothes quickly, otherwise you can catch a cold. Worse still flu or fever.” Speak Bisma then. Quite attentive, but it sounded chatty in the ears of Orange, it was reminiscent of his two brothers.

“I know.” Short orange sahut. Bisma furrowed her eyebrows confused, because she did not usually see an orange with a sour face and less friendly like that.

“Why frown so, beautiful Doctor Orange?” The soul of Kepo Bisma came out.

Lazy to respond, Orange sped up his path without intending to answer Bhishma's question.

“Tck, happy what?” The orange grumbled softly, but it could still be heard in Bhishma's ear.

“You haven't checked the balance? Salary is already in.” Sahut Bisma is happy while showing the phone that displays the balance in his mobile banking.

Orange snorted, the pleasant notification of Bhishma even added to his bad mood.

“Don't tell me you forgot it's our payday?” Ask Bisma. Orange just swelled. Not to forget, even though he remembered still will not get a salary because everything has been donated.

“Ohh, yes, I forgot. You, right, rich man, you become a doctor just for fun, right?” The guy who had just become a new father kept babbling.

Jingga stopped her steps, looked at Bisma with a sharp gaze, to make the one in the eyes shudder in horror.

“Diem or I sew your mouth, Kak.” Threaten the Orange with a cold tone, then he passed away leaving the Bhishma while grumbling indistinctly. His heart was in a frenzy and Bhishma was very chatty, making his emotions just go up.

“Jaga ten meters from me.” As if knowing Bhishma was preparing to take a step to follow him back, Orange quickly warned him.

“She's again PMS or what?” Grumbling Bisma, his mouth seemed to be muttering cursing orange. And without realizing it, he was still standing around, waiting for the girl to disappear from his sight.

********

Today Jingga comforted herself because she had a fever and severe flu due to rain yesterday, plus Jingga missed a meal because she was too tired after surgery, the last time she ate was at noon with Sky. His uncaring feelings also affect his eating mood.

Luckily today there is no scheduled surgery, the inpatient she left it to her physician assistant. So, today he can roll under the blanket while enjoying his very heavy head and sore throat.

“Kok hurts, anyway, Ji? You should be better able to take care of your health, there are still many patients who need your treatment.” Omel Mommy while pulling a thermometer from the orange oral cavity, then see the temperature listed there.

Feeling unable to wake up, Orange was afraid if he died alone and was found to have become a carcass. So, early in the morning he called Mother. Orange chose not to tell the sky because it did not want to bother him.

“I'm also a human time, Bun. Time yes doctor can not be sick.” Sahut Orange with a hoarse voice.

“Partially why you can get sick?” Mother asked, worried look adorned her face.

“Yesterday unintentionally rained, keep forgetting to eat too.” Replied the lazy orange while trying to cover his head with a blanket. But Mother's hand pulled her back.

“This you, yes. Mother, right, always ingetin at all times to not miss a meal.” Omel Mommy again, this time his hands are anxious to hit the thigh soft Orange.

“Mother can not, anyway, hit it later if I have healed?” The Orange protest was upset.

“Ihh, again pain is still chatty like that.” Ledek Mother. “Udah, ahh, Mommy wants to cook porridge first. Ohh, yes, soon Blue will also come to check you.” Said later.

The woman was about to move, but quickly the orange held her arm, making Mother sit back on the edge of the bed.

“Mother tell him?” Ask Orange weakly, look in his eyes that I thought the woman was full of protest. While Mommy just nods her head relaxed.

“Why? I have a lot of fever medicine supplies, kok.” Orange Protest. He was really lazy to have to meet Blue, which there he was more sick, more so his heart. “Mother please tell me again the same to not have to come, deh.” His request was then hopeful.

“Why? Even if you are a doctor, but if you are sick, you still need another doctor to treat you.” Sahut Mother.

“But I don't want it if the doctor is Blue.” Orange full of rejection.

“You guys fought again, huh?” Guess Mommy while squinting her eyes full of suspicion. Mommy thinks, should be happy orange because his own fiance will treat it.

“Blue, right, neurosurgeon, Bun. You should call a general practitioner. I have a fever, not a serious illness. Not in the hands of a doctor, will heal itself.” Elak Jingga while grumbling annoyed.

“Yaaa Mommy already told Blue, how do you want again?” Reply Mother very relaxed.

Orange snorted while pursing her lips funny, although her face looked pale, but the girl still looked adorable and beautiful.

“Why?” Tanya felt something was wrong with her son.

For a moment Orange was silent, looking at Mother with a sad gaze. He then changed his sleeping position, shifted and put his head on the lap of Mother while drowning her face in the stomach of the woman who had delivered it.

“Bun . . .” Calling lirih.

“Why, Dear?” Answer the mother while stroking her daughter's head.

“Eung, if for example I want to cancel my arranged marriage with Blue how?” Ask Orange hesitated, he raised his head to be able to reach Mother's face.

“Why? Not that you love her, huh, same her?” Mother stared fixed pale orange face that looked sad.

Not answering Mother's question, Jingga sighed heavily and then buried her face in the woman's stomach again.

“You've been waiting for him for nine years, why now even want to let him go after you guys meet again?” Again, Mother did not get an answer to her question. He only felt a heavy orange breath that felt hot through his shirt.

“If any problem is solved. You're an adult, don't make decisions like this. Think of Father as Mother, old man Blue too. Do you have the heart to let us bear the shame?” Connect Mother.

The orange remains unmoved. The girl was still busy with her own thoughts, she was confused now.

If he persisted, it did not rule out the possibility that his heart would continue to be injured. But he also did not want to see his parents sad, disappointed, and bear the shame in the midst of his wedding preparations that were already halfway through. Orange also could not bear because his parents were so enthusiastic about preparing for his wedding.

Should Jingga sacrifice her feelings for the happiness of her parents?

“Ji . . .”

“Ehh, i-iya?” This time Mother's gentle calling resuscitates her from daydreaming.

“Mother's Wages, Ji.” Pinta Mommy urges, but still with a soft tone of voice.

Orange again meets his view with Mother. Looks look hopeful radiated from the look on the face of the middle-aged woman.

“I, right, said it like, Bun. Wish it were just.” Sahut Jingga while smiling thinly.

“You made Mommy afraid, you know, no?” Snorting Mother while hitting the orange arm slowly. “Dad would have been disappointed if that happened, Mommy too.”

Orange forced his smile back. “Mother calm. I must have married, really, same Brother Blue, because of your love of grandchildren a lot.”

“Many, tuh, how much?” Mother turned the nose of an orange with anxiety.

A moment Orange was silent, then her lips were attracted funny. “Seven how? Or eight? Pail –”

“You think kitten.” Sambar Mommy, once again menjwil jug nose Orange. The girl just chuckled.

“Udah, ahh, even joking. You rest first. Mommy wants to make porridge.” Continue Mother, then raised the head of the orange and passed away from the child's room.

Orange can only stare at the departure of Mother with a nanar gaze. Without him noticing, his tears had already flowed past the corner of his eyes. It is impossible to tell or share his pain with his parents. Father and Mother will certainly be more hurt if they know the selfishness or attitude of Blue towards him lately.
