Still In Love's
EP. 58. My Boo

********

The sky was stunned as his eyes caught a journal with a sky blue cover sitting among Luna's belongings. His eyes narrowed while recalling where he had seen such a journal?

“My Boo.” Sky reading the writing on the cover of the journal. Luna who noticed that instantly her face stiffened.

“What's up, Lang?” Blue asked who heard the Sky read clearly.

“Si anjrit, you are not polite to read people's diaries.” Tegur Bian who crouched down to pick up Luna's stuff.

“Ahh, I shouldn't have brought this.” Luna hurriedly took over Bian and Sky to immediately put all of her things into the bag.

“Sorry. I didn't accidentally go back to that.” The sky didn't care after they stood up.

“Nothing. Then I go home first.” Said Luna still with her tense face and quickly left Bian and Sky who looked at her in wonder because of her slightly strange behavior.

“Lang, you even bengong like that dazed person. There go.” The sky snorted when Blue kicked him out. Just a few minutes ago, the boy asked him to be best friends. Really sucks.

“Ngeselin lo, again sick as well.” The sky grumbled in annoyance. He who was about to leave then paused his intention for a moment while there were still lingering feelings about the journal he had just seen.

“Ohh, yes. I've seen Luna's book, but I forgot where.” is Speak the sky and then still remember.

“Yes, that's a lot of kayak books, times, on the market. Lo see in the store may.” Bian's voice makes sense.

“What book, anyway?” Ask Blue curiously.

“My Boo" The sky murmured softly, but it was still clearly heard. "By the way she has a boyfriend, huh? Or is it about elo?” He insinuated at the end of his sentence to immediately get a snickering delicacy from Blue.

“Only lo.” Sahut Blue does not accept.

“Si shucks instead to the same privacy people.” Dumel Bian while shaking the head of Heaven. But the sky didn't notice it.

“Jingga.” The sky felt his mind slightly relieved as he managed to recall it.

Sky remembers, a few months ago Jingga once showed a journal similar to Luna's. Orange said it would give it to Blue to help her remember. The sky indeed did not know what it contained, but he clearly remembered its outer form.

“Jingga?” Blue eyebrows are confused.

“Journal lo, Bi. It looks a lot like a journal has an orange that you ever love to him.” Sahut Langit while pointing at Blue. Blue who did not know could only furrow his eyebrows.

“Udah I said book like that a lot. This is so weird, Cil.” Bian returned. But the sky is still the notebook belongs to the Orange.

“Emang much, but the cover is clearly handwritten.” Sahut Langit, then his gaze turned to Blue. “Unless you ever give Luna the same journal as you ever love the same Orange.”

Blue frowned before then speaking. “Gue never gave any book to Luna, and I also do not want to ever give the same book Orange.”

“That time Orange wants to go back is the same elo. Said to help you let inget.” fast Sky Spoken.

“Until no books give me nothing.” Answer Blue sure. Even in the box of goods there were no books like the Sky said.

“Udah, Lang. You want to accuse Luna of taking the book of Orange, right? It just so happened to look like aja.” Bian Tegur.

The sky snorted. “Gue not to recriminate. But–”

“Bian. It was just a feeling of time.” Blue Timpal cuts off the Sky speech.

“Yaa, maybe it just happened.” Saying Heaven at last, not wanting to think much.

True Bian said, books like that are many. Although his feelings are still bad, he prefers to ignore them. It is not good to think badly of others.

“Yes already, if so we go home, yes, Bi.” Said Bian who answered nodding by Blue.

Sky and Bian then passed by to leave Blue's nursing room. But just as the Sky touched the door handle, Blue called back so as to require the Sky to turn around.

“What? Do you want me to stay?” Sky Cibir. Blue only snorted when he heard it.

“Thanks has helped me.” Sincere Blue.

“Gak free. I'll collect the reward after you recover.” Sahut Langit smiled as he passed out of the Blue nursery followed by Bian behind him.

“Ck, basic.” Blue clucked slowly while smiling amusedly.

********

After the departure of Blue and Bian, Blue positioned his body to sleep well. He felt his body very limp, but his eyes were not sleepy at all.

Blue was lying on her back perfectly, her eyes staring straight at the ceiling. He was again filled with emptiness in his heart. His mind and heart were screaming for Orange to come back.

“Where are you, Orange?” Blue wondered in her heart.

“Don't you ever think that someday I'll be tired of loving you?”

His memory floated back as he and Orange were on the roof. At that time Blue said that Orange will never be able to forget it, because Orange loves Blue very much and will forever love him.

“Please don't give up on loving me, I beg you.” Blue closed his eyes as well as the tears that followed. He felt his chest ache, aching from enduring the endless longing met.

“I will definitely go and stand where you can't see.”

Blue regretted for ignoring the warning of Orange at that time, even with his arrogance he said that Orange would not be able to do that.

Had Blue been smarter to keep Orange by her side, the girl might not have left.

If only then did Blue not ignore Orange and let him fight alone, if only he had been closer to her, if only he had treated Orange well, if only he had been more quick to realize his feelings, and if he had not been selfish by wanting Orange to be by his side, but he had done nothing. Maybe Orange is currently still on his side, spending romantic time together like the Orange always wanted.

Now what can Blue do? He would never be able to turn back the clockwise towards the left, no matter how regretful. Blue could only lament his regret with two pitiful words, if only.

“Do not law me as gini.” Blue covered her eyes with one hand that was free to hide her cries. All his life, he had never cried sobbing like this because of anyone else.

“Yes pardon . . .” Mama's voice sounded shrill in Blue's ears, I don't know when the middle-aged woman came. Blue is not aware of it.

“Whose son is this, anyway? How ugly is it like gini?” Mama grimaces as she lifts and keeps away the Blue hands that cover her eyes. Blue's face with the remains of tears still welled up in her eyes and cheeks.

“Bi . . .” Mama grabbed Blue's face to face him. But Blue kept turning her face away, she was too embarrassed if Mama saw her crying like this.

“Sick, yes?” Mama sat on the edge of the bed while gently stroking Blue's hair, she felt concerned about the state of her son. This is the first time he's seen this blue thing.

“What should I do?” Blue turned her sleeping position into a slant, put her head on Mama's lap, then drowned her face in the belly of the woman who had given birth to her 27 years ago.

“I miss her so much.” Lirih Blue complained how much she missed Orange. Mama just silently looked at Blue with a sad look. I also don't know what to do to help my son.

“Propay, yes.” Mama's soft words with her hands did not stop stroking Blue's head, persuading her to remain calm.

“But it's been three months and Orange hasn't returned yet, Ma.” Complaint Blue. “And I don't know where Orange is now. Blue must be orange nyusulin to where, Ma, while Om Rendra same Aunt Mona just do not know?” And then he sounded desperate.

“Wait for the latest news from them, yes. Said Om Rendra same Aunt Mona again persuaded Orange to say his whereabouts now.” Mama Said.

“So, now you are patient first. Take care of your health. How do you want to follow Orange if you are sick like gini?” Mama continues to encourage Blue.

“I'm scared, Ma. Afraid that until I don't see you again the same Orange.” Blue Tweezers.

Mama took a heavy breath and then said. “Bi, do you believe that love has chemistry?”

Blue raised his head so that it could reach Mama's face. He scrunched his brows as if asking for an explanation.

“So, no matter how hard we try to distance ourselves and our hearts, we will finally meet again.” Mama Said. “You love orange, right?” Ask later. Blue just nodded confidently.

“You believe that Orange also loves you?” Ask Mama again.

“I think so.” This time Blue replied hesitantly. He remembers Jingga saying she was tired of loving him. “Neg. Orange can only love me.” He dismissed his doubts.

“Oke.” Mama nodded with a faint smile, then returned. “Because you love each other, then you will meet again. No matter how far apart you are. Love is like that. Trust me.”

Blue gnawed, digesting the mother's sedative sentence.

“So, keep the spirit and do not cry like gini.” Say Mama then while wiping the tears that are still wetting Blue cheeks. “The time of the cry boy. Be prepared if you are embarrassed, because Mama will definitely tell this story the same Orange if later I have gone home.”

“Mama. . .” Blue whine spoiled and re-hugged tightly the woman's stomach to hide her face there.

“Duhh, Mama so pity will be the same Orange if you can your husband kayak. I was whiny, spoiled again, it was not shaved. Euwh, very dear son Mama.” Ledek Mama pretended to shudder.

“Ma . . .” Blue Protests took off her embrace to then stare at the woman with a frowning face.

“I'm really ugly, huh?” Ask Blue.

Mama smiled, her hands then stretched out stroking the slightly rough Blue chin. “Mama thought Orange wouldn't like this.”

********

“Lo guess plant?” Blue snorted, he was astonished because Heaven always said photosynthesis every time they ate lunch.

It's exactly one week Blue is out of the treatment room. And for one week Blue was taken care of, Sky always accompanied him during his free time. Apparently, they are getting closer now.

“Not a difference. We can both produce food, kok.” Said the Sky while sitting himself on the Blue side. They are currently on the roof of the hospital to enjoy their lunch.

“Ngaco lo, how to do?” Blue asked as she opened the bag that Heaven had brought to bring out her food.

“Masak.” Celetuk Langit origin.

“Bego.” Blue snorted bitterly while throwing the bag of food that he had taken out its contents.

“Dihh, nggue not wrong, kok.” The Sky seeks to justify. Blue just rolled her eyes lazily, she chose to start eating her club sandwich.

“Double screen.” Sky Spoke then made Blue barely choke.

“Kok is?” The protest seemed unacceptable.

“Uang lo, right, more than me.” Answer Sky relax.

“Calculation basis.” Blue snorted bitterly while sipping his drink.

For a moment they were silent and focused on lunch while enjoying the soothing breeze. It's Blue's first time having lunch on the hospital roof. It's not bad. Calmer than when he had lunch in a cafeteria or restaurant with his friends. Oranges often take him to lunch here.

His throat became stifled as he remembered the orange. Blue even so difficult to swallow the food that has been chewed, it, it was as if a large stone was blocking the entrance of food in his throat so that it needed greater effort so that the food could be pushed in.

“MINum.” The sky thrust his drink cup when he saw Blue seemed to have difficulty swallowing food. Blue received the cup without showing his face towards the sky. He did not want the guy to see his eyes that began to water and tease him. But the sky seems too observant.

“Lo cry?” Ask Sky while trying to reach out to Blue's face to make sure what he sees is not wrong.

“Apaan, anyway? My throat drags, food becomes hard to swallow, my eyes become watery.” Blue Eagle while wiping his tears with the back of his hand.

“Say you inget Jingga who often ngajak lo here, but instead you always nolak. Yes, right?” Guess the sky is on target. Blue had always refused Orange's invitation to lunch on the roof for various reasons, and he regretted it now.

“But good you always refuse. So I'm the one who always replace lo and nemenin him lunch here.” The sky then.

“Iya, and I nyesel.” Sahut Biru slowly bowed his head, staring at the roof floor of the hospital building. Slowly his gaze began to blur along with the tears that were growing in his eyes.

“Tck. I didn't expect you to turn out this crybaby.” The sky clucked, his tone full of throats. He was confused to be concerned or to laugh. If you want to cry, you have to hide behind your back. But in contrast to Blue who even blatantly expressed sadness in front of him.

“Gue is not crybaby. My eyes are sensitive.” Blue Eagle while removing rough tears by wearing clothes.

“You want me to hug?” The sky as it spread its hands. His face instantly heated up, he wanted to laugh seeing this other side of Blue he had just discovered. Because, the first impression when Sky meets Blue is a cool guy. But it turns out Blue is more emotional than women who are PMS.

“Sialan.” Blue snorted while punching slowly at Sky's shoulder.

“Sini, you are free to lean at any time. Free.” The sky patted his shoulders, again teasing Blue while shifting his sitting position closer to Blue.

“Campret lo.” Blue snorted in annoyance as she stuffed Sky's mouth with her sandwich until the guy got back away from her.

“Map, damn.” Let the sky with a mouth full until his voice is not heard clearly.

“By the way, Orange is now where, yes?” Blue asked after a moment of silence.

Sighing heavily, then raising his shoulders. “Gue also does not know. Maybe the other child is hunting mountains or the sea. As per the style, lah.”

“Lo misses him, no?” Ask Blue.

“Banget. Lo alone?” The sky turned its head towards Blue.

“Almost crazy.” Answer Blue. It was like that, he missed Orange so much that he felt crazy.

“Lo, right, it's crazy, Nyet.”

Blue medengus sebal. The sky really ruined the atmosphere.

“Lo idiot.” Reply while shaking the head of the Sky, then move on and then go away leaving the Sky that sniffed annoyed at him.

********

At exactly seven o'clock, Blue was done with his work. He walked on to his car. Blue wants to quickly get to the apartment to sleep and hopes to dream of Orange.

Indeed, as if God is punishing him repeatedly, even so far Orange is not allowed to just come into his dreams.

“Bi . . .” Someone's call immediately stopped Blue's hand from opening the car door.

“What's up, Lun?” Ask Blue lazy. Somehow, since the incident in the apartment at that time, Blue became lazy even to just talk to Luna.

“I can come home together, no?” Ask Luna expectantly.

“I don't have a car and I have to rush home. You want, yeah, anterin me?” Pinta Luna again with a face that is welding, until finally Blue was forced to agree.

The atmosphere in the car was silent, occasionally Luna glanced towards Blue who only focused on the streets.

“Eung, Bi.” Call Luna to start the conversation.

“Hmm.” Sahut Biru without looking at Luna.

“You have been quiet a lot, yes, since the departure of Orange. We also rarely spend time together again.” Luna complained about Blue's attitude.

“I hope you can understand my condition.” Blue with a cold tone.

“Iya. But don't because of the Orange go, you so forget your friends.” Luna sounded like a protest. Blue is silent, choosing not to obey Luna.

“Can't you move on?” Ask Luna later.

“Move on?” This time Blue averted her gaze to momentarily look at Luna with a look of disbelief.

“Bi, Jingga has already cut off your relationship unilaterally, she has also left you. Does that mean he still loves you? He's evil, Bi, same as you.” Luna tried to provoke Blue, hoping that her eyes would open.

“You don't know anything, Lun. I hope I never get this again.” Sambar Blue was sharp and managed to silence Luna's mouth until she no longer dared to speak again along the way.

“I hope Orange never comes back again.” Luna growled in annoyance as she squeezed her fingers tightly.

Even after the Orange left, the girl still overshadowed Blue's life. This is not fair. Luna who had always been on the Blue side all this time, never once had this guy next to her glanced at her. Can't just a little bit of Luna's name infiltrate Blue's heart?

“Luna.” Calling Blue suddenly made Luna flinch.

“Ohh. Yes, Bi?” Ask Luna.

“It's up.” Answer Blue. Luna rolled her gaze forward, she realized that Blue's car had arrived in front of her house.

“Ohh, so, yes?” Luna Mumbled. Too bad, even though he still wants to linger close to Blue. But it felt like time passed quickly with him.

“Yes, if so I go down. You want to stop by first?” Bargain Luna before she actually got out of the car.

“No, thanks.” Reject Blue is cold, but still with a polite tone.

“Ohh, yes if so. Earlier, thank you for bringing me home.” Said Luna while showing her best smile. But Blue only responded with a nod.

********

Blue arrived at the basement parking lot of the apartment after she drove Luna home. Not directly down from the car, for a moment he leaned back stiff after driving on the back of the chair.

Blue closed both eyes, followed by a hand that massaged his forehead slowly. He felt his head a little heavy, probably because he was recovering from his pain and still needed a lot of rest.

After feeling his body a little calm, Blue grabbed his briefcase which he stored in the back seat. But shortly after he took his briefcase, he accidentally saw a white tenteng bag fall under the chair that Luna had been sitting in. There were several items from the bag scattered out, including Luna's cell phone.

“Tas Luna missed?” Blue murmur in the heart.

Blue wanted to take Luna's phone, but she said when a journal with a sky blue cover attracted her attention. The journal is exactly what the sky fussed at that time. As a result, Blue's hand now prefers to take the journal.

“My Boo?” Blue frowned while reading the writing on the cover of the journal.

“It's like my handwriting.” Blue Mumbles then. Then out of curiosity, with a slow movement Blue began to open and see what the contents of the journal are.

Blue-blasted. His face suddenly filled with seriousness as he began to read the writing on the first page. Blue read the neatly lined writing so that no one missed a word.

“It . . .”
