Still In Love's
EP. 47. A Little Longer's Wait

********

“You shouldn't have come. You, right, can say to Mother if you are busy.” Tell Orange to Blue who is now busy checking his blood pressure.

“I'm not busy. I can't lie like you.” Sahut Biru while cleaning his sphygmomanometer, his speech was full of satire.

It was very desirable for Orange to say Blue, but his sick body was not strong enough to argue. Moreover, outside there is Mother.

“Go there. I hate you.” Remove the orange with a weak voice while brushing off the hand of Blue who was about to touch his forehead. The girl turned her face away from Blue.

“Jingga.” Tegur Blue stared intently, a moment after Orange brushed off his hand as soon as he was about to touch the girl's forehead.

“I told you you went aja.”

Blue growls in the heart, as much as possible to hold back emotions that begin to overflow. Blue hates the orange rejection attitude.

“You seem to prefer a heaven that is hobbling, yes?” Blue Speech growled.

Orange swerved, changed its position to turn its back on Blue, and pulled the blanket to cover the neck. “I think it's better.”

The blue who did not like the answer of Orange could only hold back the rumble in his heart. He exhaled his coarse breath and rubbed his face with a huff.

“I have to measure your body temperature, Ji.” Blue stared at the back of the orange that was behind him.

“Udah was the same Mother.” Sahut Orange lazy without looking towards Blue.

“But I have to mastiin one more time.” Blue touched the shoulder of the orange for the girl to turn towards him. But the orange did not heed her, the girl flinching in her position.

Returning a rough sigh, Blue then took another thermometer from her bag, then she again approached the body of Orange to measure the body temperature of the girl.

“Ngapain you?” Tanya Orange raised her head, looking at Blue vigilantly as she felt the man's hand touch her hair.

“Udah diem first.” The Blue Order while holding the body of the orange to stay in its original position. He then tidied up the unraveling orange hair so as not to block his ears.

Orange breathes a sigh of relief once it turns out Blue only measures his body temperature. The guy pointed the infrared sensor from the thermometer right at the orange ear hole.

“What do you think?” Blue lips while pulling one corner of his lips. Now his eyes are focused on seeing the body temperature of the orange indicated by the thermometer.

Orange does not respond to Blue speech. Her face was hotter than before. In his heart he cursed himself, because of his dirty thoughts.

“To be fine, right, Bi?” Mother suddenly entered and approached them with a bowl of porridge and a glass of water on a tray she carried in her hands.

“Then just need a break, Tan.” Blue replied while showing off her warm smile.

“Sgratitude.” Mother exhales in relief. “Tante worried that Orange is seriously ill.” His impulse kept the tray he carried on the nightstand beside the bed, then told Orange to get up.

“Downdo not overdo it, deh. I won't get very sick just because of the rain. Tomorrow will also heal by yourself.” Orange snorted in annoyance while bringing his body to sit and lean on the headboard of the bed.

“Mother's section is surprised, really, you can play rain.” Omel Bunda while taking a bowl of porridge and sitting on the edge of the bed next to the Orange, preparing to feed his daughter.

“Brains, Bun.” Orange correcting.

“Involuntary, Tan, messing around. It was like yesterday.” Blue Timpal insinuating. The orange immediately twisted its neck towards Blue and swerved wide.

“What are you talking about, anyway? I told you raining.” Sambar Orange is upset. He looked at Blue with an annoyed look. The guy really didn't see the situation to get him to argue. Blue makes his head hurt even more.

“Eh, uh, how do you say it's the same with Blue?” Tegur Mommy does not like. The orange just pauses no matter. “Let's eat first, then take the medicine that already Blue readyin.” Said the woman then while directing the spoon to the mouth of Orange.

“I'm just fever, Bun, not paralyzed. I can eat by myself.” Oranges snatch the bowl of porridge from the hands of Mother.

The girl then ate Mother's porridge with difficulty. His bitter tongue made him unable to enjoy his food. However, Orange still tried to swallow his food even though his throat felt full and wanted to vomit it back. He appreciates Mother who has made porridge for him, he must not complain like a child and make the woman more worried.

The orange sped up his meal by swallowing every mouthful he put in his mouth, eventually making him choke.

“His dinner-slows, Ji.” Blue swiftly gave a pat behind the back of the Orange, his hand then outstretched to take the glass from Mother's hand and give it to the Orange, then lead her to drink. Mother smiled at the attitude of Blue's attention. It reminded her of her youth with Dad.

“Ngapain, really, really caper? See, he's just pretending to be good.” The orange grumbled in his heart on the sidelines of his drink. Sometimes his eyes looked at the blue.

“Eung. Sorry, yes, Bun. I guess I'll let it go, deh, eat it.” Orange finally gave up, he was really not strong if he had to spend all his remaining porridge half again.

“Yes it's okay, the important thing is that you've eaten. Now take the medicine.” Mommy replied with a gentle smile.

Oranges take the medicine given by Mother, then swallow it quickly. He really wanted to go to bed soon after this.

“Sleep, Ji.” Blue said while gently stroking the head of the Orange, but the Orange was not touched at all. Maybe if their relationship is fine, Orange will be very happy with the treatment given Blue.

“Ehem. If you still want to miss, Mother comes out first, deh.” Mother's voice stopped the Blue hand that was still stroking the head of Orange. Blue smiled clumsily towards Mother who is now moving out while carrying used orange utensils. “But the door Mommy biarin open, yes.”

While Orange, he just rolled his eyeballs lazily when he heard Mother's speech. Tck, what are you interested in? That sounds very ridiculous. It felt like Orange was sick of seeing the guy sitting next to him.

“Blue. .” Call Orange after a few moments of silence after the departure of Mother.

Blue knitted his brows. Amazed that the orange invariably calls his name directly, and Blue does not like to hear him.

“Can I request something from you?” Ask Orange then, looking at Blue with a sad look in his eyes. Blue was just silently waiting for the girl to continue her words.

“What?” Blue asked who saw the girl seemed hesitant to say her next sentence.

Orange looked at Blue hesitated, to then speak. “I don't want us to continue this matchmaking. I can't.”

“Do not ngaco!” Blue exclaimed in her cold tone, a sense of annoyance enveloping her heart every time Orange said something about ending their relationship. He was about to get off the bed, but his hands held his arm, causing him to sit back.

“I'm serious.” Orange Speech. “So, let's talk to our parents if we can't continue this, hum?” His ink then with a look of hopeful eyes.

“That will never happen.” Blue jerked his orange hand, his eyes drawing sharp.

“But I will not be happy. You too.” Orange's voice sounded desperate, even with the look of his eyes.

Blue snorted violently, then sighed deeply to endure the patience in facing the girl in front of him.

“I said it would never happen.”

“Why? Why do you keep it, when you don't love me?” I don't know how many times Jingga's been asking this.

“Because you have me. Whether first, now, or later.” And only nonsensical answers like this always get orange.

“I feel like I'm a toy. Sometimes I feel very loved, but then you hurt me at will. So it keeps repeating. Please stop confusing me, because my heart is not numb like you.” Orange's voice almost choked, his gaze angry and desperate.

Orange felt her chest tight every time she remembered Blue who treated her like a toy. Blue may not throw it away, but still Blue never loved her. Blue made Orange feel that way, and it deeply hurt her heart.

“You're getting ngaco.” Speak Blue as you move from your seat. “You need a break, I'm out first.”

The girl looked at the windy Blue, her hunting breath holding back the anger. Blue always dodged or switched the conversation whenever he said that.

“Ending or any other word of it. Don't you ever say it again, because I won't let you go.” Blue's tone of voice was full of warning before he finally stepped out of the Orange room.

“This is not fair. My heart is hurt, but he's like fine.” Orange murmured softly, her tears dripping down, flowing past her smooth cheeks as an expression of her sadness. His heart now seemed unable to withstand all the pain that came.

“Dear my heart, I’m sorry to hurting you again. You can fuck me because I'm too stupid, sorry to make you too weak. Sorry you had to stay in my body.” Orange spoke to his own heart, he felt guilty for letting go of his heart to someone like Blue whom he had never expected would hurt so badly.

Orange's eyes began to tighten because of the effect of the medicine he was taking just now began to work, slowly his eyes closed along with the tears that were still flowing on his cheeks.

“In a moment, I will keep you away from things that hurt you. I will not hurt you again. Trust.” The orange strengthens itself before it actually goes to its subconscious.

********

Actually, yesterday Orange was also healthy, but the arrival of Aunt Lisa who early in the morning kept him from going to work. The middle-aged woman forced Orange to rest another day. Out of nowhere the middle-aged woman knew she was sick, Guessing orange might be Blue who told her.

Aunty Lisa accompanies Orange break, replacing Mother who must go home because Dusk will leave Biel. On the sidelines accompanying her, Aunt Lisa showed her a catalogue of bridal dresses for her wedding with Blue.

Seeing Aunt Lisa so enthusiastic, Orange could not bear to not respond to it. The middle-aged woman asked Jingga to choose the clothes she would wear later, and she said she would prepare everything.

“Ahh, but mending you the same Blue directly choose his clothes in the boutique only, all fittings. Lagian Aunty has also chosen some clothes that are roughly suitable for you. Aunty will join nemenin, deh.”

Orange smiled as he sighed heavily considering the furore of Aunt Lisa.

“Lusa, you same Blue blankin schedule in the afternoon, yes.”

Again, Orange remembered the enthusiastic face and spirit of Aunt Lisa in preparing all the needs of her marriage with Blue

“Where can I mgecewain Aunt Lisa.” Inflated orange.

But Jingga had also promised her own heart to keep her from getting hurt again. How should orange? Orange is tired of Blue.

Should he hold on any minute?

“Doctor, where are you going?” Hana asked a little screamed as she looked at Orange who was even walking into another hallway.

“Doctor Orange . . .” Once again Hana screamed when she did not get the authorization. The orange awakened from the daydream stopped its steps and turned around. One eyebrow raised, astonished that Hana did not follow him and instead fell silent a few steps behind him.

“Han, why, you even diem? Let's go back to the room.” Orange half yells.

Hana clucked amusedly while rolling her eyes lazy. “You're wrong way.”

Orange blinked his eyes, his gaze skirted around, then realized if he was in the wrong hallway because he was too focused on daydreaming.

“Ohh, yes.” Orange grin wide while scratching his nape that does not itch.

“Need Aqua?” Cibir Hana chuckled softly. The orange just snorted and took another step back.

They were about to board the elevator, but were undone when they heard there was a commotion in one of the VIP rooms. From a distance, they can see and hear it. There were doctors and nurses in front of the room.

Out of curiosity, Hana and Orange chose to see what was going on there.

“This is no apan, anyway?” Ask Hana to the point on one of the nurses. He then tiptoed to look into the room, but his eyes could not reach him because of the crowd.

“A patient harassed Nurse, almost. Fortunately Prof. Blue happened to pass. I think he's going to hit those dappled nose batteries.” Answer one of the sisters in the crowd.

Orange immediately broke through the crowd when she heard Blue was about to beat people up, Hana painstakingly followed him.

Orange was surprised to see Blue who was clutching the collar of a middle-aged male patient's shirt with a slightly bulky body, looks like a striped nose man like in the movies. And the orange was increasingly surprised to find Luna crying as hard as standing not far from Blue. Is the abused nurse Luna?

God fucking. Even if the Orange does not like Luna, but the Orange will never accept if the people are harassed. Orange flabbergasted, a patient could do this. The girl felt sorry for Luna.

“Suster is lying. She's the one who teased me.” The striped-nose man defended himself, frightened to see Blue staring at him savagely as if ready to prey.

“DAMN.” Blue further pulled the collar of the man's shirt, then dropped it hard. It doesn't matter if he's a patient at his hospital.

Blue then pulled the striped-nose man back up. He looked angry as if he wanted to kill him. Luna approached Blue, trying to restrain and calm her down. But, Blue couldn't let the man off the hook, until she pushed Luna away.

Orange grimaced, worried Blue would harm the striped-nose man. He was surprised, from the many people who crowded, but no one intended to stop Blue.

The anger that had enveloped Blue made the man want to hit back the man's nose striped. But quickly the orange approached and held his already floating hand ready to give a raw bogeman.

“You can kill him.” Tegur Orange. Blue, who had lost patience, pushed the man with one hand until he fell on the floor.

“I will file a lawsuit against this hospital on the basis of allegations of harassment, unfriendly service, and mistreatment.” Threaten the striped nose guy who does not accept being treated like that.

“Please. That means you're ready to drop yourself in jail.” Blue replies that are still shrouded in emotion.

“The Nurse's job is not to serve you like that. You're at the wrong place to come to the hospital, go to the night club there.” Imbuh Biru then passed while pulling Luna's hand out of there after the security officers came.

Blue ignored the orange who saw his departure with a bitter look. Not wanting to think about it, Orange then walked out of the room followed by Hana.

“Han, I don't think I'm back, deh, someone missed earlier in the ER. We meet in the cafeteria for lunch.” Speak Orange without waiting for Hana's reply, then quickly move from before Hana to go to the roof. It felt like the orange needed time to calm down.

Seeing Blue who was very angry to defend Luna earlier, Orange was slightly hurt, his heart hurt even though he tried to think positively if Blue was only defending his people who were being harassed. But no matter how much he tries to distract, Orange remains jealous.

Was wrong?

********

It seems very difficult for Orange to keep his own heart so as not to get hurt. Unexpectedly, after arriving at the roof he instead had to see the sight of not wearing.

Blue was hugging Luna who was crying badly. Guys seemed to rub Luna's back to calm her down.

“I'm scared, Bi. I feel disgusted.”

Orange could hear Luna clearly say that. Her heart melted painfully watching the girl immerse her face in the chest of the Blue field.

“Lupain it.” Blue speaks in a soft tone.

“If there were no you, maybe I'd already–”

Luna's sentence hung as Blue suddenly grabbed her face. “Shuut. I said lupain earlier.” Then he wiped Luna's tears with both of her thumbs.

It was very interesting for Orange to leave right now, but his legs seemed to freeze. He simply remained standing still, watching a completely unbeautiful sight before him.

“I anterin you home, yes. And you should not need to enter work for the next few days.” Said Blue then while breaking his embrace.

“How was the father? Maybe he'll sue us and this hospital.” Luna said worriedly.

“Quiet aja. I can take care of that easily.” Answer Blue sure.

“Ayo. . .” Blue grabbed Luna's shoulders, leading her to move.

As they turned to leave the roof, Blue was slightly surprised by the presence of Orange who was staring at him with a sad face.

“Ji. . .”

“You've been here a long time? How come my negur?” Blue asked a little nervously.

“New dateng, kok.” Replied Orange while forcing his smile, looking wry.

“I want Anterin Luna to go home first. We'll see you tonight.” Blue said while wiping the top of the head of the short orange and revealed a little smile towards him, for then he passed away with Luna.

That's not fair. The Orange Heart endured the pain, while Blue smiled like that.

“I hope he gets punished. Be ill. Just like me.” For a lifetime, Orange never prayed such a bad thing on others.

Maybe now Orange has not found a way to get out of this state. But Orange is sure, one day God will help and give it a way out. If God helps, no one will defeat him. Orang-orang just need to be patient, in a moment.
