Still In Love's
EP. 56. It's Been a Month

********

Blue returned to the room with a feeling of anxiety, she was sitting limp in her work chair while staring at the letter from Orange with a blank look.

“Unlimited leave?” He still could not believe Hana's explanation.

Once again, Blue again tried to contact Orange through his phone. But the number remains out of reach.

Unable to keep quiet like that, Blue quickly ran out of her room, not caring about Luna who happened to be in front of the room calling out to her, even Blue involuntarily slammed into Luna's shoulders until the girl staggered slightly.

Blue stopped in front of the elevator with a hunting breath while pressing the impatient elevator button. Because the elevator door did not open, eventually Blue chose to use the emergency stairs.

His heart and mind were suddenly anxious when he heard that Jingga was taking an indefinite leave of absence, plus the letter left for him, and that he could not be reached.

“Don't think I'll keep waiting for you, sister. If I want to go, I will go, I can let go of you whenever I want.”

Blue shook her head as the Orange remark some time ago flashed in her memory.

“No, it won't happen.” Blue dismissed his bad thoughts. He should not think like that before making sure of it.

Who knows, the orange is still in the apartment to avoid it. Oranges can still be on the playground to calm down. Or he's at a gym to vent his anger, and maybe even on a vacation to the mountains or the beach, too, as Orange once said if he will exercise until tired or go to a calming place if angry.

Without knocking, Blue pushed the door of the Sky room violently to make the owner of the room aghast and automatically divert attention for a moment, then again busy with the medical record he was reading.

After the door closed, the man walked straight up to the sky and stopped right in front of his desk.

“Lo know, right, where is Orange?” Ask Blue directly.

The sky snorted softly while smiling obliquely without distracting from the documents in his hands.

“Gue ask once again Where is Orange?” Blue angrily snatched the documents from the hands of Heaven.

“Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you lo.” Sky replied casually while reclaiming his documents from Blue's hands, then pretended to read them.

Blue clenched his hands on both sides of his thighs, then approached and stood beside the Sky worktable, then clasped the collar of the man's clothes furiously.

“Don't mess with me. Where is Orange now?” Blue asked with hardened jaws, her gaze sharpened. While the Sky only responded to him casually.

The sky smiled sarcastically, looking at Blue no less sharply. “Why? Don't accept your lost toy?”

“Say where Orange is now?” Blue's touch further tightened the grip of his hand on the collar of the man's shirt.

“Lo pantes this dapetin.” Said Sky while jerking Blue's hand to escape from the collar of his shirt, then he stood up and pushed hard Blue's body until the man's body was a little dazed.

For a few seconds the two stared at each other furiously.

“Remember, you alone made Orange go.” Sky growls before then moving from his own room, hit Blue's shoulder until it again makes the guy limp.

*********

Blue drove his car at high speed, splitting the busy afternoon road. His foggy mind made him not think about his own life, he did not care about the sound of horns and swearing from other riders due to his arbitrary actions.

Orange, which is in the contents of his head at this time is to immediately meet Orange now.

The playground and the apartment, he again did not find an orange there. So, his goal now was the girl's parents' house.

Arriving in front of the house of parents of Orange, Blue parked his car carelessly in the yard of the house is quite large. With impatient steps, Blue walked into the yard of the house.

But just as he flung his index finger to press the bell, the roar of the car engine made him pull his hand back. He then turned around, looking black Mercedes-Benz owned by Om Rendra parked next to his car.

“Bi . . .” Sapa Om Rendra with eyebrows knitted wonder to find Blue standing in front of the door of his house.

Blue then approached Om Rendra who had just got off the car, looking middle-aged man was still neat with his work suit. After berserk greeting, Om Rendra then asked Blue to enter the house.

“Blue . . .” A gentle greeting from Aunt Mona Blue got once she got inside the house. The middle-aged woman looked delighted at his arrival. Enthusiastically, Aunt Mona immediately led Blue to sit on the living room sofa.

“Tante make it a drink first, yes, Bi.” Said Aunt Mona as she moved from her seat to go to the kitchen.

“Still, Tan, no need. I didn't stay long, kok.” Blue's speech restrains Aunt Mona's move to go to the kitchen. As a result, the middle-aged woman sat down next to her husband.

“What's up, Bi?” Tanya Om Rendra was curious about the sudden arrival of Blue.

“I again nyariin Jingga, Om. Where is he, huh? I was not there this morning, the number was not active. I also just got word that Orange is on leave, Om.” Blue asked while complaining of her anxiety.

“Iya, Jingga is taking a leave of absence, Bi. Last morning just Orange went for a vacation, he said he wanted to travel around Europe.” Aunty Mona replied while looking at the worried-looking Blue face. “Then don't tell you, yes?” Guess later.

“Circular Europe?” Tanya Blue made sure while looking up her head, looking into the eyes of Om Rendra and Aunt Mona alternately to find the truth there.

“You are calm, Orange will not be long, kok.” Said Aunt Mona. Blue was speechless with a hint of relief in her heart. It turns out that the girl was just on vacation.

“I want to follow him Om, Tan.” Blue stared at Om Rendra and Aunt Lisa alternately. “If you can know where he went first?”

Om Rendra took a breath while reviewing a faint smile. “Om don't know exactly what problem you have until it has to be like this. But Bi, it seems like Orange just wants to take some time to calm down. So it's good you let it go first.”

“But I can't get all the way from Orange, Om.”

“Yes, Om understands. But then again, orange takes time. Not that I don't want to tell you.” Said Om Rendra who actually he also did not know where the destination of the first country to go to Orange.

“Om correct, Bi. And Auntie thought, you also need time, you guys need time not to meet first. Don't worry, at least two or three weeks Orange has come home again.” Aunt Mona's chiming again tried to calm down.

“But Orange takes time off until the time is not specified, Om, Tan.” Sambar Blue did not eliminate the anxiety on his face. Om Rendra and Aunt Mona frowned deeply, trying to digest Blue's speech.

“You don't ngaco, deh, Bi. Birth leave is not that long. The longest Orange takes a month off.” Aunt Mona chuckles in disbelief at what Blue says, and so does Om Rendra.

“You don't know this?” Blue sounded serious.

“What do you mean, Bi?” Rendra asked back

“Jingga's words to take time off until an unspecified time.” Blue's reply grew anxious to find the old man of Orange not knowing it.

“Neg. Orange didn't say that. Yesterday Jingga here just said you want a vacation around Europe, yes Auntie thought surely the cut was only up to a month.” Aunt Mona remained calm.

“Om and Aunt sure Orange just want to travel around Europe? I can ask for help, no, you guys call Orange for mastiin?” Blue asked hurriedly with a panicked look on her face.

“Bi, you calm down first. Orange really, really, just want a vacation there. He also promised to call us often.” Aunt Mona still responded calmly.

“Gini, yes. Better now go home and ask your Papa, is it true that Orange took a leave of absence during that?” Om Rendra advised in a calm tone, although in his heart he was also surprised. Feelings of worry began to approach him.

Blue glare. He forgot this part. Papa should be the one who knows the most about it.

“Good, Om. Yes, if so I go home first.” Sahut Biru immediately got up from his seat and stepped away from the house of the parents of Orange.

********

“Papa who gave permission to Orange to take unlimited time off?” Tanya Blue urged Papa to answer her immediately.

“Sit first, Bi.” Papa orders while closing the book he is reading, then put it on the work desk. He was shocked by Blue's sudden arrival to break through his probationary workspace without knocking first.

“Pa. . .” Blue again urged the father to immediately answer his question after he managed to sit in front of the man.

“Only Orange does not tell you?” Papa asked back. His tone sounded relaxed, even with the look of his face.

“Om Rendra and Aunt Mona are not told, let alone me.” Sahut Blue with an anxious tone. Of course this also makes Papa gasp to hear it.

“They don't know?” Papa raised his voice in disbelief.

“Papa know, right, Orange goes around Europe?” Blue threw the question again.

“Ohh, so Orange to Europe?”

Blue snorted in annoyance because since then his question had only been answered with a question. While Papa, he was astonished because the orange went away so fast. And strangely, why didn't the girl tell her parents that she was on indefinite leave? A faint orange shadow perched in his mind. But soon he dismissed those bad thoughts.

“So don't tell Papa he wants to go on holiday to where.” Said Papa while remembering his last conversation with Jingga.

“If Orange does not go home again how? If that happens, it's all because of Papa. Papa has to take responsibility!” Blue said in frustration, whining about blaming the father like a child. The old man just clucked and put on a strange face between annoyed and wanting to laugh seeing Blue's unusual attitude.

“Enak. Orange, right, go because of you. This is a consequence you have to accept because you have made a mistake. Although Papa does not know what your problem really is, but Papa can make sure it all comes from you.” Papa later accused him of not taking the blame.

Although Blue was his favorite son, but Papa was not the one who would defend him just like that. He is not a parent who will seek justification for the mistakes made by the child.

“Pa . . .” The blue is clear, Papa's speech really makes it even more dark.

“You are calm. Orange just wants to calm down, really. He will definitely return, because Orange has promised Papa will not leave the hospital.” Papa said soothingly, but it did not make Blue calm at all.

“But how long? How about for years?” Sahut Biru while ruffling his hair riled. Papa just shook his head looking at it while breathing out. “I think I'm following him aja.”

For a moment Blue was silent, there was no resistance to the speech that Papa uttered, as well as what he heard from Om Rendra earlier. Take time.

“But I can't bear to be far from Orange, Pa.” Followed after a moment of silence.

“Patience and wait for him if you really want to improve your relationship.” Reply Papa firmly.

“But, Pa–”

“Then it takes time, Bi. Why can't you just wait for her stuff for a second? Orange alone can wait for you more than nine years.” Sela Papa managed to make Blue close her mouth.

“OK. One month. If one month he doesn't come home, there or without Papa's permission, I'll still suck him.” Pungkas Biru resigned, ending the conversation between himself and Papa before then he left the middle-aged man's room with a feeling of remorse.

********

One month passed, it meant that during that time also the Orange went away leaving Blue.

Blue which was originally a little quiet and will wait for Orange to return home on vacation, is now increasingly made up in the fog when he heard from Om Rendra that Jingga still wants to continue his vacation there. To make matters worse, Orange did not tell her parents which European State she was in at the moment.

Her parents were obviously worried and asked for her to come home soon, but the girl managed to calm down with a sentence in a moment.

Blue circulated his gaze across the entire rooftop area of the hospital. He recalled the last time he had been there with Orange. To be more precise, he dragged Orange to the place violently, accusing her, even floated lowly words for the girl. Instantly the corner of his heart was hurt as he recalled his words and rude attitude towards Orange.

Last time, Blue saw the girl standing in fear and looked at her with disappointed and angry eyes, there. In the place where he stands today.

“Shi*t.” Blue rubbed his face violently. He cursed repeatedly, releasing all the anger that was piled up in his chest. I don't know for whom, obviously he's very angry at himself at the moment.

Did ya? Did the orange really leave him? How should he look for her if he did not know of her existence like this? And until when does he have to wait for the orange to come back?

Blue can't wait for orange any longer. He misses everything about the orange.

“Do not like gini, Ji.” Blue felt her eyes misty to the point that not a single tear fell through the corner of her eye.

“Please don't stand where I can't see.” He muttered desperately. His gaze was blank, and so was his heart.

“Blue . . .” Blue turned towards the voice of the person who called out to him. The sky stood not far from him with its jaws hardened.

BUGH. . . .

“What you want. HUH?” Sky asked excitedly after he managed to land a hard blow to Blue's jaw, until fresh blood flowed at one corner of his lips.

The blue that did not prepare anything immediately fell to the floor after getting that sudden blow. Still gathering his consciousness, Blue saw the Sky was now on top of him while clutching the collar of his shirt.

“Lo happy, right, Orange go this kayak? SATISFIED LO?” Shouted the Sky then while jerking Blue's shoulder until the guy had no chance to get up.

Just like Blue, the sky is also the same longing for Orange. Plus while in Europe Orange is also very rarely contacted him. Sky angry knowing the news that Orange will take a longer vacation and do not want to go home, and did not tell where he was.

“What did you do that night until Orange went as gini?” And one hard blow Sky back to the Blue jaw.

The sky was truly like a person of doom, his eyes seemed to be reddened and watery, as if expressing his anger and sadness all at once there.

“Why do you have to torture the feeling of Orange like that?” The sky again held Blue's body that tried to rise by clutching the collar of his shirt getting stronger.

“Why don't you just go, JERK?”

“Why should Orange?”

“SETAN.” Blue immediately restrained the hand of Sky that was about to hit him again.

“Lo think I'm okay?” This time the position turned around, Blue replied the same blow that Sky gave just now.

“Lo think I want Orange to go?” Blue shouted out loudly while stomping the body of Heaven.

“Do you think I don't feel lost? I lost the most of it all. Do you know, every day I'm haunted by fear? Afraid that Orange will not come back again, afraid that Orange really lives and memgelupain me.” Not to be outdone, Blue brought out what she had in her heart.

“That's a gift you deserve.” The sky smiled grinning. It was clear that his words ignited Blue's emotions. The guy again took a step back to throw a punch at the sky.

“Yes, you guys.” Strangled someone across there who came straight for them to separate.

“Please me, Bis.” Blue rebelled when the one who turned out to be Bhishma held back his hand that was about to hit Blue.

Bhishma pulled Blue's shoulders so tightly that her body moved away from the sky. He was inexhaustible, his intention to enjoy the afternoon breeze when his time was free, even treated to the sight of two adults who played banging like children.

“Lo what the hell, Bi?” Bisma's touch was still with all her might restraining Blue's body that kept wanting to break away from her.

“Elo the fuck? Apart from me, you don't have to interfere, Bis.” Blue shouted annoyed with Bhishma holding him like that. Though he had yet to return one more blow to the Heavens.

“Udah, Bi. I know your mind again in the fog, but you don't mukulin people too.” Bhishma.

Blue swerved because Bhishma cornered her. Obviously, because what Bhishma saw earlier was the position of Blue who was hitting the Sky.

“He who started, kok.” Blue cried not to accept while pointing to the Sky which had now risen and sat on the floor while wiping the blood on his lips.

“Elo that made me do this, ANJ*NG.” The sky woke up from his seat, his hand was now floating, ready to hit Blue again. But Bisma swiftly held him back. Now the father of one child spread his arms wide, standing between Blue and Sky, becoming a wall so that they do not hit each other.

“STOP. I don't know what your problem is. But you shouldn't fight like a little boy gini.” Bisma shouted out loud. Damn it, why does he who does not know anything have to be trapped in a situation like this and made a hassle?

“Cute. Let me heal your wounds.” Order the Bhishma as he moves to get off the roof. But he turned back when he realized Blue and Sky were not following him.

Bisma sighed deeply as she saw Blue and Sky still standing still throwing sharp gazes at each other, ready to pounce on each other like cats and dogs.

“Aarrgh . . .” The Blue and Sky Screeches after the Bhishma approaches and banging their heads violently.

“That's so your heads aren't hard anymore. I told him to come with me. Come with me, you shyly know, don't you? What if someone else sees it?” Tegur Bisma fierce like a father who is scolding his son who quarrels because of fighting over toys.

Finally, while stroking his head that felt throbbing pain, Blue and Sky followed Bisma with a distance that was slightly far apart.

********

The bisma led them to the Blue room. Now Sky and Blue are sitting on the sofa in an awkward state while waiting for Bisma to prepare P3K to treat their wounds.

The sky took the phone, then opened the camera app to see the state of his face that felt very painful now.

“Anjrit, my face.” The sky grimaced hysterically when he saw the state of his face in front of the camera screen of his cellphone. A little regret lingered in his heart, had he just hit Blue in the abdomen or other areas other than the face, maybe Blue would not have hurt his face like this either.

“Udah deh, you do not have to overdo it like that.” Say Bhishma while handing over cotton buds that have been given antiseptic to Blue and Sky.

Blue just swerved at the look of the sky's overreaction. Isn't his face worse than the sky?

“Excess what? With a gini kayak face, kids can be scared of me.” The Heaven Protests that began to stick the cotton bud to the corner of his bloody lips.

“Yes already, you can use the mask all day.” The bisma is calming. He grimaced as he heard Heaven hissing in pain, feeling pain at the corner of his torn lip.

“Where can I like that? My face is a great influence in the healing of children. They will heal faster if you see my handsome face.” Bhishma rolled her eyes lazily, between annoyed and wanting to laugh, eager for her to throw the sofa cushion into the face of Heaven right now. Under these circumstances, it was possible for Heaven to boast of itself like that.

“Ya already do not need to enter work, very complicated. Forever if you can.” Blue who had been silent and focused on treating his wounds was now turning to the sky with a crisp.

“This is because of lo, yes.” The sky sniffed in annoyance, his hand was now stretched out pulling the Blue hair that was next to him so hard that the guy was complaining in pain.

“Hair, I.” Not to be outdone, Blue also grabbed the hair Sky no less hard, Sky even felt maybe all his hair would be separated from the skin of his head.

“Aww, take me, anj*ng.” Screech the Sky while still pulling the strong Blue hair with his hands.

“Elo starting setaan.”

“Elo setan, gob*lok.” The sky does not lose.

“Lo is just pretending to be gini, right? You know, right, where's Jinga?” Blue grew furious and pulled the head of the Sky even harder.

“Bangke, if you know I've been suffering from it since. It's all because of you. Liability lo!”

Bhishma again sighed in seeing the behavior of the two adults in front of him that was increasingly becoming?

Bhishma now understands why they ended up like that. Then he walked to get a glass of water located on the Blue desk, then with anxiety he poured the water until it hit Blue and Sky.

“Wouldn't stop?” Bisma is increasingly made grigetan because the splash of water alone is not able to stop them. He clucked in annoyance while shaking his head, then he took the phone out of his pocket and pretended to contact someone.

“Halo, security. . . . .”

“Bis, lo what the fuck, anyway?” Blue who heard Bhishma was about to contact the security officer immediately jumped up quickly and snatched his phone. After all, Blue still had to maintain his reputation as the Head of the Hospital there.
