Still In Love's
EP. 60. Me, You, and Orange

********

“Before you were not this kind of person. Why are you lying?” Luna's face stiffened even more, she didn't expect her lie to be known.

“I don't know how the book could be in your hands. But you clearly know that the crisp orange was on my desk at the time, right?” The Blue Tukas made Luna lower her head while twisting her fingers in nervousness.

“In the apartment, did you also intentionally do a cheap thing like that to make Orange misunderstand?” Seeing the reaction of Luna like that, immediately trigger questions that have been denied Blue in the gray cells of his brain.

“What's real, you also said the same Orange if-”

“What does Orange say?” Luna raised her chin looking at Blue.

“She said that I like you? Did he also tell you that I asked him to stay away and release you?” Luna smiled grinning. Obviously Luna's words surprised Blue, and increasingly his guilt to Orange.

So all this time the orange never lied? Even Orange was silent if Luna said more than that.

“You? Dare to. . .” Blue growls are held back with a jaw that has hardened with palms that clench until the knuckles stand out clearly.

“Why did you admit that?” Blue jerks made Luna scream in shock. “You clearly know that Orange is a person who means a lot to me. Why. . .”

“Because I envy the same Orange.” Sambar Luna moved from her seat.

“I'm envious because Orange could easily take your heart. While me? I was first in your life, but never once have you seen me as a woman.” Luna shouted, expressing her feelings that she had been quieting all along.

Blue was completely shocked by Luna's confession. He never realized that, all this time Blue just considers his closeness to Luna is nothing more than friends and relatives because they have grown up together since childhood.

“I hated the same Orange, long before I met him. Ye know? When you started telling me about her and saying that you fell in love with her, from then on I started to hate her.” Continue Luna with tears that began to pool in her eye pelupuk.

“And I hate the same orange because he never disappears from your heart, even after you lose your memory and forget him.” Luna took in her increasingly heavy breath. Her tears began to pour down her cheeks. While Blue was still speechless waiting for the girl to finish what she wanted to say.

“Not only like, but I love you, Bi. I love you more than Orange, which is why I can do cunning things like this. So seeing the presence of Orange on your side, it is not an easy thing for me.” Excited Luna then.

“Why? You surprised? You want to fight me, right? You want to say that I should have known myself for putting the same feeling you obviously have a very different background?” Luna wiped away the tears with the back of her hand while smiling incisively.

“I never look at people from her background, Luna. If I were like that, I would never want to be friends with you all this time.” Sambar Blue does not accept.

“You should have been honest with me before. Luna I won't be angry with that, because I know that we can't choose to fall in love with who.” Blue's speech looked at Luna deeply.

“But it's too late. I'm disappointed in you, because the way you did it was wrong. You are not supposed to do cheap things like this, but you know before that I really love the same Orange.” Continue Blue with a feeling that seemed to be struck.

Indeed, it was not from the beginning that everything was clear that Blue only loved Orange, and Luna knew that clearly. But, why didn't Luna stop and instead do something like this that made her a bad person?

Why is Luna trying so hard to change the color of twilight? From the beginning, dusk is orange, will not change color to yellow, green, pink, or other colors. The twilight remains orange that will paint the sky when the time comes. Luna knew that, why did she not stop and even disturb the beauty of twilight?

“Today I have always thought of you as a good friend, Luna. You should understand my feelings. Now you've really ruined what we've had all this time.” Imbuh Blue with a disappointed tone.

It turns out that the person who he had considered a good friend, actually became the person who most wanted his relationship with Orange destroyed.

“It looks like we have to keep our distance. From now on, I can only assume our relationship is nothing more than a superior and subordinate.” Said Blue then as he moved from his seat to pass leaving luna. But quickly the girl held her wrist.

“No, Bi. I can't, please don't believe gini.” Luna said softly while shaking her head. Luna did not want to lose Blue, she did not accept Blue saying such a thing.

“Can't you just give me a little love? Lupain Orange, he does not love you, he will not leave you if you still love.” His love holds Blue's arm tightly.

“Enough, Luna. All this time I have always held back when you vilify Orange because I still appreciate you as a good friend.” Blue looked at Luna with a sinister cold gaze.

“Once again you vilify Orange or do cheap things like this, I make sure you will not see me and set foot in this hospital again.” Blue stomped Luna's hand violently until it slipped off her arm, then sauntered away, leaving Luna who was looking at her with a chaotic feeling.

Luna chased after Blue and was about to grab her arm back. But quickly the guy dodged and looked at her with intimidating eyes, as if saying silence and don't touch me.

Luna was so devastated, she could only stare at Blue's back which was getting away from her sight. All this time, it was only the first time Blue treated him like this. The guy who was always nice and always there for her, now doesn't even want to see her, even just as a friend.

“This is all because of Orange.” Luna growled with vengeance while clenching her hands so hard that her palms were injured because her fingernails accidentally injured her.

********

“Sorry, I came late, Orange.” Lirih Biru softly as she managed to sit herself on the playground chair.

Blue remembered her promise as she told the girl that she would soon return to see the afternoon sky together at the place, the playground they used to go to first.

“Capit go home and you can be angry with me, Orange.” His love is so sad, always like that. Hurry home, Orange.

Blue was silent, staring at the afternoon sky whose blue had been mixed with the sunset light, until orange hues began to appear. Looking very beautiful, the afternoon sky is a miracle and the movie is infinite. But still it does not make the emptiness in the heart of Blue shrink.

“I didn't just say. Luna herself told me that she likes you.”

Blue's memories drift back in time as she and Orange argue about Luna at dinner in the apartment.

“I understand, you may not like the existence of Luna among us. But you also don't have to lie like this. You intentionally, yes, want to try to keep me away from Luna? You deliberately want to make my relationship with him broken?”

Blue sighed while closing her eyes for a moment. Blue did not know how disappointed Orange was when she accused him of that time. “Sorry me. . .”

“Obviously I wouldn't believe it. I've known Luna longer than you.” Even with his arrogance Blue said so when Orange asked if Blue did not believe him. And God is good, He has shown the truth.

“I did not expect, yes, it turns out you can be this subtle. Intentionally, right, you lied like this so that I could get my full attention?”

“You shouldn't have to do this. Without you trying, we'll get married later, and not just attention, but you'll get me completely. You should be quite satisfied with that.”

Tudings that once Blue lay continues to buzz in the ears to make his head dizzy. His words back then were as if the arrow he threw at the heart of Orange bounced back and stuck in his heart, sick. Blue felt her heart ache because of her own words.

Blue Hearts hurt, how could the Oranges endure it like that? The girl was even silent as Blue charged her with various painful accusations. If only Orange was angry at him at that time, maybe now Blue would not feel so guilty like this.

“Stupid. Why are you being dem? You should have been mad or hit me that time.” Blue felt her chest tightening along with her cries that came out soundlessly.

Blue can what but lament his regrets now? Even if he cried roaring, he still could not turn back time. Blue can't go back to the day he hurt Orange.

The sky this afternoon was even as if it was sneering at him. In the peace of the afternoon sky, through his silence as if to say *“*Hei, Blue! Enjoy your regrets. Keep looking in the mirror and ask the shadow who seems how cruel you have been? How much pain have you infused into Orange so far?”

********

Today is exactly more than five months of the departure of Orange.

Blue Circumstance? Of course, the longing in his heart increased all the time. His longing never gave up until it made his eyes reddened because of the tears that often fell every time he lamented the longing waiting to meet.

Every day, his heart cried out to call upon the name of Orange. But as if the word of the meeting was deaf, no matter how hard Blue called him, the meeting did not come. Blue misses orange, very much.

Such a painful longing seemed to be a fitting reward for all his treatment of the Orange.

“This is okay, no?” Blue snorted in annoyance as he rolled his eyeballs lazily as Sky pointed out the shoes he was trying on. This was already the tenth store they had visited, and the Sky still had not stopped.

In his life, Blue is the laziest invited to go around the mall and shop like this. In his entire life, only two people could force him to do so.

The first one was his mother, obviously she could not refuse the request of the great mistress. And second, why the sky? Why would he be forced to follow her shopping like a madman and become a porters like this? Blue is sorry for offering her friendship. If he could, Blue wanted to withdraw his words right now. The sky really turned on him after they were more familiar.

But even so, Blue is grateful for the presence of Heaven as his friend. The presence of Heaven indirectly had already comforted his runaway heart.

As long as Orange left, it turned out that Sky got a replacement for Orange that can accompany him shopping. Perhaps Blue had accompanied him six times like this.

Just like Orange. Blue will follow, carry Sky goods, and be asked for opinions about the goods purchased. Looks like Blue should bring Sky to see Doctor Johan after this, shopaholic is really a mental disorder.

“Woy, goat, lo deaf?” The touch of Heaven that saw Blue was only silent with a wry grimacing face.

“OK, okay, okay. Whatever you use okay.” Blue Sahut grumbled, then grunted in annoyance. It used to be when he was dating Orange, never once did Blue accompany him shopping like this.

“Yes, you don't have to be hard, too, kali. Your face is really tangled again like a shirt has not been ironed.” The Sky Ketus.

From relationships like Tom and Spike, now they rise in levels like the larvae Red and Yellow. They often argue like children, but the edges get along.

“Yes already, flick there pay your groceries to the cashier. Tired me.” Blue spray is no less serious.

Unknowingly, their little quarrel caught the attention of the shop clerks. Looks like the store clerk held back laughter to see it, maybe the store clerk thinks Blue is the brother who was driving his sister shopping. So anxious.

“Iya, I pay now. Lo this fussy mulu from earlier, just orange never this fussy.” The sky grumbled as he handed the shoes he had chosen to the shop clerk to pack.

“Gue, right, not Orange.” Blue is upset.

“Lo is impatient, huh? I think I should spend more often like this to practice patience.” The Sky then.

“Dih, unclean, don't want me anymore.” Blue refused firmly. “Gue wait in car. You have 10 minutes to start.” His impression before then he came out of the store with some bags of groceries owned by the Sky.

“But H&M is again outlining new products . . .”

“Gue don't care.” Sambar Blue with an indisputable look, he then took a big step towards the parking lot where his car was.

********

They chose a seat in the quietest corner, the end closest to the glass wall, so that they could see the outside raining from behind the glass wall.

“If I think gini, I will keep my sweet memories the same as Orange.” The sky breathed out, throwing its gaze out while propping up the chin with one hand.

In the past, usually Orange and Sky always enjoy the rain while eating snacks like this, then tell stories about things that are funny and fun. The sky missed that moment.

“What I want is only things I haven't done with him.” Blue said softly, the look on his face turned sad. She smiled, wanting to feel like she was crying.

The sky turned its head for a moment with a faint smile, then again threw its gaze outside.

“Ohh, yes. By the way, since when did you and Orange start to meet and get that close?” Blue is intrigued to find out the story of friendship between Orange and Sky.

The sky turned back, then sipped coffee slowly, then told the beginning of his meeting with Orange until it became very close without missing a single one. Sky also said that her friendship with Orange brought blessings to her brother.

Just remember when Orange often visits the Sky house when the guy has difficulty talking. Since then the Star and Dusk became close and finally married, because at that time the Star was always accompanying the Orange to the house of Heaven.

“Gue did not expect you ever got Aphasia. Now your mouth can not be pinned, it is so sometimes when talking really bad cake rotten chili.” Blue Speech sneered. The sky only snorted bitterly while throwing a piece of stroofwafle at Blue's face, but swiftly the boy avoided it.

“But, I envy the same lo.” The Blue later.

“Iri?” The sky scrunched up his brows not understanding.

BIru nodded slowly, then put on a bitter smile. “Because of the time you spend the same Orange more than I.”

“It is precisely I am envious of lo.”

This time it was Blue's turn to furrow his brows. “My name?”

“Because you managed to get the heart and love of Orange.” The Sky Heart grimaced as it said that. While Blue only replied to him with a thin smile.

“God is totally fair, yes.” Said the Sky then while exhaling a long breath. Blue remained silent, he waited for Heaven to continue his speech.

“We are two people who both love Orange. I got her time, and you got her love, but then God broke us both heart by making Orange go away from us.” Sky continued while smiling amusedly, remembering how fate played them.

“Gue hope, our story gets a happy ending. I, lo, and Orange.” Blue said with a voice that almost shook, his eyes began to pool again.

“If so, let's work together to make a happy ending.” Said Sky while lifting his coffee cup, to then heard the sound of clanking from the coffee cup that clashed with each other.

They do cheers drinks with coffee as a sign of an agreement to work together to make a happy ending together. Until finally, the ticklishness of their mouths echoed along with the sound of rain out there.

“Ohh yes, something is missing.” Sky cried when he remembered something he had not told Blue.

“What?” Blue asked with a frown

“Jingga’s first love.” Continue Sky.

“That's me.” Sahut Blue confident. She clearly remembered Orange herself who said that she was her first love.

“Clearly it's not elo.” Resilient Sky.

“Keep, if not who am I? Elo?” Blue asked, getting annoyed.

“Not. But, she's a neurosurgeon–”

“Yes it, right, I, bego.” Sambar Blue cut the Sky speech.

“Gue not finished.” The sky rolled his eyes panted while snorting irritatedly as Blue cut his words.

“Actually the dream of the beginning of Orange is to become an athlete Gymnastics Rhythmic.” The sky began to tell him back and Blue was interested in listening to him, until he changed his position by sitting straight.

Blue snorted, who is the person who has dared to be the first love of Orange?

“Since childhood he has been active in the world of Rhythmic Gymnastics and won several medals. But when he was nine years old, Orange had an accident while training until his leg was injured, continued doctors say that his leg was traumatized.” For a moment the Sky took a breath and then continued the story.

“Until finally Orange declared can no longer do the sport. Orange was hospitalized for several months for his recovery, he was devastated, every day his face was gloomy, he said, and finally there was a handsome resident doctor who took care of him and managed to comfort him until Orange could smile again and find his other dream.”

“Doctor, if I can't be an athlete anymore, I want to be a Doctor who can make people smile like a Doctor.”

The sky smiled as little orange said that while blinking one eye to the doctor.

“And do you know what happened after that?” Blue is just listening to the sky.

The flashback

“Doctor, do you have a girlfriend?” Little orange asked with her adorable face.

“Why are little kids nanayak gini?” Ask the doctor while squatting so he can align himself with the orange who is sitting in a wheelchair.

“Because I want to be your girlfriend.” Reply Orange did not heed the doctor's question.

“No way, because you are still small.” The doctor smiled as he rubbed the top of the head of the orange with anxiety.

“Then I do, wait for me to grow up. I'll grow up pretty and be your girlfriend.” Little orange will not lose. “Ahh, no. Om Doctor should marry me later.” The little girl changed her sentence.

“Om Doctor, please take this.” The doctor furrowed his brows in confusion as suddenly Jingga handed him the gold medal he got from the Olympics.

“Why are you the same Om?” Ask the doctor.

“Take. I propose you use this.” An innocent orange replied, making the doctor laugh amusedly.

“Haha, okay. If so Om will receive this as a memento from you.” The doctor received a gold medal from an orange hand.

“Not a keepsake. I said, I proposed to you, Om.” The orange re-affirms followed by her cute pursed lips.

"Why do you want to marry me?" Ask the doctor is nervous.

"Because Om is a handsome kayak in the cartoon I watched."

“Grow beautiful and Om will see you marry the same prince who is more handsome than Om.” Said the doctor while ruffling orange hair to then move and pass away.

“She must be repulsive because you are ugly.” The sky that had just been watching just now let out its voice.

“Ish, ngeselin.” The orange groaned because the sky saw it was ugly.

Flashback off

Blue gawked in amazement at the story of the Sky. He did not expect such a brave orange. Is he nine years old and Orange dares to propose to people?

“Tuh doctor how old?” Ask Blue curiously.

“Eung. . .” Sky's eyeballs glanced upwards in remembrance. “If not wrong, maybe it was about 24 years, lah.”

“If so, means now. . .” Blue was silent for a while as he folded his fingers to count.

“Maybe it's 41 years old and already have a child.” Sambar Sky makes Blue breathe a sigh of relief.

“Tck, old.” Blue Cibir.

“But I'm sure he's still handsome.” Sky Sahut. It is still clear in his memory how almost perfect the face of the doctor he forgot his name, Jingga even still remembers it and says the doctor looks like Lee Min Ho, the actor from the Korean drama he often watched.

“Tck, not possible. She's old now, definitely grizzled .” Blue speech does not accept.

“Campret. Lo, right, don't know how handsome he is. I'm sure Orange is still tempted to look at him now. Especially the age of 40 years for the guy again hot-hotnya. Usually it is more tempting women.”

Blue snorted when he heard the Sky saying just now. He hoped that the doctor would be wrinkled by now.

“Gue does not expect Orange likes adult guys like that.” Blue murmured, in his heart he was worried. Blue does not deny that there are indeed many adult men out there who are more mature and handsome, even rivaling young people like him.

“Haha, not expecting, right, lo? Where is the season now, anyway, the girls who are on the same cuffiness om-om handsome.” The sky laughed crisply as it looked at the face of Blue who was bending in annoyance.

The next second, the ringing of the cell phone stopped Sky's laughter. A message appeared in the form of a video, but he was surprised because the message was sent by electronic mail.

“Jingga.” His eyes were wide open when he read the name of the sender.
