The orange sits leaning against the headboard of the bed in Sagara's room. He exhaled heavily shortly after ending the phone with his MSF friends. The orange does not know to be grateful or sad. On one hand, he was grateful for escaping the attack of the explosion. But on the other hand, he was saddened by losing some of his friends.
“Radit, Mia, Orange. It’s part a God’s plan. You are in a peaceful place now.” Mumbles Orange in the heart while sighing slowly. He was saddened to hear that they were among the dead from the blast.
It is still clear in his memory the last time he said goodbye to them before coming home, especially a friend who was both named Orange. At that time Jingga wrapped her injured hand using her handkerchief, the girl named the same as him told Orange that he would also come home soon.
“I didn't think you'd come home like this, Ji. Even though we already want to vacation together if we are together in Indonesia.” The orange again muttered in the heart.
“Our crown princess is awake?” Sindir Sagara who saw the new orange woke up in the afternoon after almost a night of clubbing.
“Same father Mother from yesterday callin continues. You say, gih, let them not worry anymore.” Tell Sagara while sitting himself on the edge of the bed.
An instant of Orange was silent, then a small ringing sounded from his lips. “No, ahh, males. Ntar even diomelin.”
Sagara gave a small chuckle, then his hands stretched out to flickering orange forehead. “Lagian pack lie all. Fortunately, I didn't really die there.”
Orange scowled while rubbing his forehead which was a little pained. “Once you don't lie, they won't give you permission.”
“Why not say the same brother, anyway, Ji? In fact, you can take your brother to a better place than that. Why carelessly go to dangerous places?” Omel Sagara's.
“Ya used to be easier just to forget him if I do charity work.” Squeaking Orange while grimacing small, still remembered how stressful her life was a few days ago.
Sagara who heard it clucked with a small head bobble. “How now?”
“Huh?”
“Successful, no, nagging him?” Ask Sagara in a soft tone.
“I. . .” Orange hung his sentence while thinking. Honestly, Orange also does not know the answer. But clearly, there instead of treating the broken heart, he got a new illness from having a panic disorder now.
Months of being in such a terrible place, it turns out to have had a psychological health impact on the Orang-orange.
Orange remembered that time, precisely at night while sleeping soundly in a hotel room, at three in the morning he heard the sound of a plane passing by. Suddenly having a panic attack, he immediately woke up from his sleep and ran out of the hotel. He was used to it because when in Yemen, if he heard such a sound, he had to be vigilant, and at that time Jingga was not aware that he was in Madrid.
“No luck, right?” Sagara's lips then anxiously rubbed the full face of Orange using his palm, to make the girl realize from her daydream.
The girl snorted little. “Aaan, anyway?”
Sagara ruffled the orange hair, making the girl cluck in annoyance and brushed Sagara's hand off her head.
“It's not that easy to forget people.” Said Sagara, he changed his position by leaning next to the orange.
“Yes, you are, Brother.” Orange said with a heavy sigh, his face water turned sad.
“Not want to give him a chance?” Sagara looked deeply into the eyes of the orange.
“He's evil with me. Why should?” Sahut Orange ketus. In fact, he had told Sagara everything, but his brother still asked that question.
“Yaaa, everyone, right, can change. Mostly Brother Denger from Dad, as long as you go Blue, tuh, nyes–”
“It's not that easy for me, Brother.” Sela Orange. “So I don't know what I'm feeling. Udah, deh, Brother mending out.” He then lay down again, covering his entire body with a blanket.
“Eat first, Ji.” Decide Sagara while shaking the girl's body.
“Ngak laper.” Legut Orange lazy. Hearing Blue's name really made his mood break.
Exhaling heavily, for a while Sagara looked at the body of the brother covered with a blanket. Sagara knows, the heart of Orange says something else.
“Do not be stubborn.” Sagara said while damaging the top of the head of the orange before then moving away.
********
It was late at night when Blue was standing at the door of someone's apartment. He stared at the door in front of him for a few seconds, then his hands extended pressing against the bell.
A gust of wind from the air conditioner immediately blew piercing his skin. Blue feels awkward being in one room with Sagara. Occasionally his dark eyes glanced at Sagara who was taking drinks in the fridge to observe. Visually Sagara is not much different from Bintang, equally handsome, just that Sagara is more like Om Rendra, taller, and a little less friendly. Blue's last point is understandable, it's only natural after Sagara finds out what happened to his sister because of him.
“MINum.”Sagara thrusts a can of soda in front of Blue.
“Thanks.” Say Blue with an awkward smile while reaching for the soda can.
Sagara just nodded casually and picked up his soda for then he sipped.
For a moment only silence was heard. The two took in breaths alternately, then threw one another a glance as if judging each other.
“Till when to go home?” Blue asked ventured, considering that the girl said she was out when Blue asked her at the beginning of arrival.
Sagara sighed, looking at Blue doubtfully. “It seems that this is not the right time to meet Orange.”
“But, Kak–”
“Not Dad told you to wait? Why are you even coming here? Do not let Orange go again because you see it is here.” Sela Sagara sounds cold.
“Gue want to meet Jingga.” There was a look of desperate and pleading eyes in Blue's gaze. “Please.”
“Blue, I've heard it all.” Sambar Sagara stared at Blue.
Blue breathed heavily. There was a sad smile hearing Sagara remind him of that. “Gue knows, I'm evil.”
“I've been wanting to hit since you stood in front of the door. But I don't want to hurt the guy that my sister loves.”
“Lo can do that if you want.” Sahut Blue with an amused smile.
Sagara screeched, then gulped back his sodas and shook his head. It's enough Orange punishes the guy.
“Gue really-generates money. . .”
“Gue knows. I've heard it all from Dad.”
Blue smiled wryly with a sad look. “So sure to be very disappointed with me.”
The corners of Sagara's lips are thin. “Consequences you must receive.” Tucked a soft tone from the masculine man's words.
“Gue really-needs to meet Orange. So please let me meet him.” Blue said that in the lowest tone, as if expressing his sense of despair that never found the whereabouts of the girl, even when he followed to Spain.
“The orange mood is no longer good now. Free time to meet him.”
“Kak–”
“Wait for him to return to Indonesia. Let her nenangin herself here.” Sagara interrupted again, no matter Blue's glare.
“Gue kangen same dia.”
“Not all things must go as you wish. Don't be selfish!” Reply Sagara quickly.
Heavy breathing was heard again. Blue Head looked down sliced, feeling struck by Sagara's words just now.
“Then it's a darling in our family. We love her a lot . .”
Blue raised her head again to bring her gaze together with Sagara's cold gaze.
“Dad, Mother, Brother Star, or me, we as much as possible avoid things that can make him sick as small as it is. But lo? Who would dare to hurt the heart of Orange like gini?”
Blue just fell silent, got no reply to Sagara's sentence just now. The corner of his heart grimaced as soon as he remembered his mistake to Orange.
“And if you can't give him a lot of love, just treat him well. Tck, I don't know why Dad could have sentin for your marriage to that jerk just like Orange, and even now he's giving you a chance.” Sagara clucked annoyed, then again downing his sodas to the toilet.
“Eat it I will not be able to forgive myself before my sorry orange. And if Jingga gives me a chance, I promise I will make the most of that opportunity.” There was a pause before then Blue continued his words. "Gue is really good at all my treatment is equal to orange."
“I really want to say, you better not disturb and back again the same Orange because obviously as her brother I do not want Orange to have a husband like lo. But I don't deserve that. Orange who will decide to give the same opportunity lo or enggak.”
“Gue sorry.” Speak Blue weakly. In his heart he felt grateful because the Orange family did not judge him despite making mistakes. Blue is really embarrassed to have hurt the heart of someone who is treated like a princess in his family. Sagara is right, Blue is indeed very outrageous.
“Udah lo now home, gih, before Orange comes.” Sagara raised his chin towards the door.
“Tap–”
“Lo is stupid, yes, I told you love Orange time.” Sambar Sagara fast, making Blue back clenched his mouth resigned.
********
Her heart was made to pound every day, she could not wait to see the beautiful face of Orange before her. She missed the girl, she wanted to hug her and apologize.
“Udah ready all?” Ask Sky to Albi who had put food, children's toys, school supplies, and clothes to be donated to the orphanage foundation.
Today Sky as well as Blue and his friends will visit the orphanage foundation. It is a regular social activity Blue and her friends do every two times in one year. The four of them are regular donors in one of the orphanage foundations called the Mother Wing Foundation.
Blue invites Sky to come with him. Sky was surprised to hear the name of the foundation which turned out to be the foundation of the orphanage founded by his mother. The Sky Family even became the main donor for the survival of the orphanage.
Mother Sky named Rossa founded the orphanage about 25 years ago before Sky was born because of her love for children and her high social sense.
When he was a child, Sky and his mother often visited the orphanage. But after his mother died, he only visited the orphanage once a year on his mother's birthday with Jingga, as well as to make a pilgrimage to his mother's grave located not far from the orphanage. And today is the birthday of the mother of Heaven.
“Udah. Let's go.” Sahut Albi who was replied to a nod of the head by the Sky. They then get into the car, following Bisma, Blue, and Bian who are already sitting there first.
Arriving at the orphanage, they were immediately welcomed with the children of the orphanage there. Flocking orphanage children helped take out their luggage.
This scene had always been their own entertainment, they felt peace in their hearts when they saw the smiles of the children. They also became more grateful afterwards, grateful that they had a much more fortunate life.
“Nak Sky. . .” Welcome the middle-aged woman whose appearance still looks fresh. The middle-aged woman spread her arms to hug the Sky.
“Bu Kinan . .” The sky approached and rushed to embrace the middle-aged woman named Kinan. Bu Kinan knew the sky. It is clear because he is the one who co-founded the orphanage with his mother.
“How are you, Nak?” Asked Bu Kinan then after breaking his embrace. Then he looked at the face of Heaven with his warm gaze.
“Good news, Mom. How's your own mother?”
“More than good.” Bu Kinan replied happily, then turned his attention to Blue and the others. “Eh, four friends also came, yes?”
The woman then greeted and gave them a hug as her warm greeting.
“You guys came together? You guys know each other?” Bu Kinan looked at the Sky and Blue alternately.
“We work in the same sakkit house, Mom. I'm not in America anymore.” Clearly the Sky made Bu Kinan widen his eyes and ohh ria.
“Where to Stay?” Bu Kinan asked with a wailing head looking for the whereabouts of the girl.
“It just so happens that today Orange does not come, Bu.” Answer Sky.
“Lho, why?” Bu Kinan was a little disappointed, but the children would be happy every time the Orange came.
The sky hissed, then answered a lie so that Bu Kinan did not ask further. “To be busy, so can't come, Bu.”
Bu Kinan nodded in understanding and did not mind him even though he still regretted that girl did not come with the Sky.
“In that case, I'll excuse you to mama first, Bu.” Speak the sky later.
“Mau Mom temenin?” Tawar Bu Kinan's. The sky just shook with a smile.
“Gue go first.” Pamit Langit to his friends for then he passed away to go to the grave of his mother who only took five minutes walk from the orphanage.
Previously Blue offered to accompany him, but Sky refused him. He did not want Blue or anyone to see himself sad when he was in front of his mother's belly button later.
********
“Happy birthday, Ma.” The sky crouched down in front of the mother's belly button and placed a bouquet of her favorite white tulips there.
“I miss Mama, very much.” Continue Heaven with a choking sound along with her tears that come dripping down her cheeks. The sky misses the mother who left her for 16 years.
The sky can be nothing but crying whenever she misses her mother, the mother who always gives her purest love, the Sky misses her so much. No matter how hard Heaven tried to call his mother, her mother never came to him again.
“Today I came alone, Ma. Orange can not come.” The sky began to tell stories like he used to do every time he visited there.
“Mama want, no, why can't Orange come?”
“Ango, girl with it–”
“Aduh, don't mention dong . . .” The voice of a very familiar person in the ears of Heaven was able to stop his speech.
The Eye of Heaven follows the movement of a person who is now crouching next to him while placing tulips on top of his mother's belly button.
“Happy birthday, Aunt. Sorry I'm late. The plane is delay.” Said Orange with a smile expanding it, staring at the mound of red earth overgrown with green grass in front of him.
“Tck, can still smile like that after what happened? Don't you realize that everyone is panicking?” Said the sky cynically while moving. He felt annoyed and angry at the orange that suddenly appeared like this.
“Why are you home?” Ask Sky still with his cynical tone.
“Lho, you don't like me coming home? I give you a surprise, you know, same you.” Orange comes with a frowning forehead.
“Same once. Why don't you die there?” Shouted The sky was upset.
“You angry?” Ask Orange while smacking a knotty smile. He was anxious to see the water of heaven's upset face.
“Ngapain I'm angry?” Sky Dusk.
“You're angry.” Ledek Orange while poking the side of the belly of the Sky.
“Iya, I'm angry, why are you so sorry, anyway? Why haven't you ever called or chatted me? Why are you lying and not telling me you want to be a cross-border doctor? You know, no, everyone is anxious and having trouble because of you.” Shouting The sky exploded.
“Ya I'm sorry.” Say Orange innocently. The sky was upset.
“You want me to hug?” Orange stretched out his hand. The sky almost moved closer to his body, yet he remembered being annoyed.
“Ngak!.” Rejecting the Sky, he sulked and left the Orange to return to the orphanage.
“Sky, I miss you. Here hug me.” The orange chased after the Sky and continued to tempt the man to embrace him.
“Don’t you miss me, Sky?” Ask Orange who tried to align his steps with Heaven. But the guy kept speeding up his pace until Orange had a little trouble.
“Not at all. Go there again. Go as far as you want.” The sky sounded upset.
“But I miss you so much.” Orange Speech.
“Serah.” Heaven without seeing the orange. He continued walking and entered the spacious orphanage courtyard. The orange would not give up on following and calling out to him.
“Aww.” Sky's steps stopped, he turned to find the fallen Orange while complaining and holding his ankle.
“Are you okay?” The sky approached Orange with a worried look. Orang-ga was once severely injured in her leg, no wonder the sky was always worried even if the girl was just sprained a little.
“My feet . . .” Orange sounds grimacing.
“You why?” Ask Sky in panic while touching Orange's ankle.
“Nothing.” Reply Orange with a smile that looks annoying to the Sky. This reminded him of when they were little, but he always deceived him by pretending to fall and in pain to attract his attention.
“Haha. It’s just a prank, bro.” Excite Orange while standing up.
“Not funny, know.” The touch of Heaven was getting annoyed. Then he walked back to leave Jingga to approach the children who were playing ball there.
“Ish, it's just kidding. Laaang.” The orange kept calling out to him, but the sky paid no heed. The guy now runs and greets the kids who are playing ball.
“Ceiling, wait for ak–” Orange Sentence to come to a halt as a ball rolls and stops right at his feet. The orange squatted to pick up the ball.
“I got it.” Oranges when the ball is in his hand.
“Sorry the ball–” Blue approached Orange to ask for the ball in the girl's hand.
The orange raises its head towards the person asking for the ball. But he immediately dropped the ball when he realized who was standing before him at this time.
“Jingga . . .” Calling lirih.
