Still In Love's
Ep. 7. A Good Person

********

“Emang if girls are the same guys deketan and together continue, it means they are dating, yes?” Ask Orange. Blue fluttered, trying to compile an answer.

“Usually like that, right?” Blue threw confirmation question.

Orange cringing, trying to think. “I don’t think so.”

“Terus?” Ask Blue again as if asking for certainty who the Sky for Orange.

“F-R-I-E-N-D.” Orange spelled with great emphasis in each letter. “We’re nothing more than friend, more like a brother and sister.”

Blue smiled cynically and was full of scorn. “Cowok same girl can not be good friends. In general, there is no way, because there is always an emotional attraction between the two even if a little. If the edges are not in love with each other, there must still be one of them who are carried away by feelings.”

“You can think of bener.” Orange justifies the word Blue. “But not exactly, because not everyone is like that. You don't know how much our friendship means. Don't jump to conclusions because you don't know anything. Either way our relationship, friend or not, it's none of your business.”

Blue pursed his lips. “You suddenly became very serious.”

Orange breathed. “Sorry if I ruin the mood. I just disagree with your opinion. Those who come out of the comfort zone of the friendship zone are people who do not have a wise attitude in taking a stance to not continue the feeling of attraction for fear of destroying friendship.”

Blue was silent for a while. “Have you ever been interested in him?”

Orange shakes. “No and never will.” Reply firmly.

“But Sky?” Ask Blue again.

“I'm also sure he'll never involve feelings like that of me. We grew up like brothers since childhood. So, that's impossible.” Clearly Orange sure.

Blue nodded, but still looked doubtful. The orange itself noticed it, then sighed.

After which, an awkward silence rippled between them. Both are busy with their own thoughts.

Orange was silent with a flat face, he was indeed a little sensitive if anyone offended and doubted his friendship with Heaven. As a person who has grown up together since childhood, Orange really pure love Sky as his brother.

“Sorry, if you are offended.” Blue finally took the initiative to talk. He really did not like the awkward atmosphere between them. While the orange only greeted him with a headband and a thin smile.

“Nby the way. . .” Blue sighed for a moment, his brain thinking hard to find the topic of conversation. “Why is your friend's name Sky?” And what comes out is a silly question. “What because he was born in the sky?” He then grinned stiffly while scratching his nape that did not itch. Duhh, why is he so dime like this?

The orange frowned along with an amused smile that rose from the corner of his lips. “Yes aren't born in the sky either. I don't really know for sure either, anyway. But from what I heard, the time was born the length of the sky below average. Therefore his parents gave the name Sky in the hope that he would grow tall to the sky.” Clearly then, then giggled amusedly, considering the expectations of Sky parents are now granted because the man grew tall like a model now.

“Gotly, right?” The orange tickled amusedly, while Blue just smiled in response. “But the most ridiculous, anyway, my parents. Time to give me the name of color. Fortunately they did not give me the name red, yellow, green, or purple.”

Blue chuckles at the orange chatter. His laughter sounded soft, just like the sound of a baritone coming out from his reddish lips.

“You were born at sunset?” Ask Blue.

Orange nodded. “Let me guess. You were born when the sky was bright?”

Blue shook his head slowly, then squeezed the tip of the orange nose as if a button. “Tetot. Wrong.” Orange immediately frowned confusedly made. “That's because Mama I'm a fan of Doraemon.”

Orange gawking in disbelief. “So, because Doraemon is blue?”

Blue nodded, then sighed softly. “More ridiculous than your parents, right? My parents aren't silly anymore, anyway. But origin thanks name.”

“But the Blue name is not ugly, really. Enough okay.” Sahut Orange.

“If it's the guy?” Ask Blue.

Blue and Orange stared at each other for a few moments, then simultaneously threw away the gaze. After that, the awkward atmosphere took over again, and before long, the sound of the bell marking the next lesson hour would begin to successfully disperse the atmosphere.

“Ehh, already bell. I'm down first.” Speak orange quickly while pointing to the door that connects the balcony with the school building space.

Blue hurriedly nodded, while Orange immediately went first. Blue stared at the girl's back without a blink. There was a feeling of unwillingness lingering in his heart because his encounter with the Orange had to end this quickly.

“Jingga, wait. . .” Shouted Blue before Orange went further.

Hearing Blue shout her name, Orange stopped stepping and turned her body. He looked at Blue who was now walking towards him.

“Can we be friends from now on? Good friend?” Blue asked as she extended her hand.

“Not you yourself who say that girls are the same guy can not be good friends?” Orange did not receive Blue's helping hand until the guy pulled it back.

Blue went silent, then blinked. “ Then I’m gonna take back my words.”

The orange throbbed amused while holding back his laughter. “Sorry, but I can't be friends with a–” people

“And until when will you consider me a stranger?” Blue Sambar cut the sentence that Orange was about to say. “Not that we know each other enough?”

The orange again showed a smile that could not be interpreted Blue. “Are you a good person?”

Blue frowned confusedly, feeling the orange question was quite ambiguous.

“Because I can't be friends with bad guys.” Connect the Orange later.

“Do my faces look like bad guys?” Blue pointed at his own face.

“Eung. . .” The orange rolled its eyes upwards as if it was thinking. “It looks, anyway, gitu.” He said while stumbling ignorantly, then quickly left Blue who was dumbfounded.

Blue then snorted amusedly after the orange disappeared from his sight. “I’m not giving up on you, Orange.”

In the afternoon, a beautiful view of the sky like a painting. The expanse of the sky that stretches indefinitely is decorated with reddish orange color. What an amazing sight, makes anyone who looks at it realize how extraordinary the creator is.

“Since when are you interested in the afternoon sky? Lately I have seen you here, not usually.” The comment of the 18-year-old girl who has long hair decomposes with a touch of through bangs so as to make her pretty face look plain, Luna.

Blue smiled faintly to find Luna who suddenly approached and joined sitting next to her, on a swing chair made of white teak wood that perched firmly in her backyard.

Luna. The son of a nanny who doubles as a butler in the Blue family who is already considered a family. Blue and Luna are best friends, they grew up together in that modern European-style mansion since they were little.

The presence of Luna mempu dismissed the loneliness of Blue who does not have a brother in the midst of busyness of both parents who can not accompany Blue at all times.

Blue sighed, then stopped his activities that had been busy doodling sketchbooks. “I've heard someone say that when watching dusk in the afternoon, we can see and feel the changes of day and night directly.”

Then Blue's hand again moved shrewdly on top of the sketchbook with the help of his drawing pencil, continuing to scratch the object in his head. Until a while later, the scratches formed a sketch of a beautiful girl who had slightly wavy shoulder-length hair with a bangs touch that decorated her forehead. Blue looked at the image with satisfaction.

“And he really is. That's very pretty.” Connect Blue smile wide. His gaze was now fixed on the stretch of the afternoon sky that began to inflate.

“Who’s that?” Luna asked, curious.

Blue smiled, his eyes sticking back down, staring at the sketch image. One of his thumbs stretched across the picture. “Someone who for the first time looks beautiful in my eyes.” He then sighed before continuing his words. “She is so beautiful as a fairy.”

Luna's gaze panned disliked, but she hurriedly hid it with a thin smile on her lips as her gaze met Blue.

“Wow. Am I not wrong? A Blue who never cared about girls, now suddenly bucin like gini?” Luna said amazed. Blue has never been interested in a girl. He became curious who was the girl who had managed to steal the attention of Blue to make his best friend changed drastically from a cold guy to a bathtub? Even her who had been on the Blue side for so many years, never once did the little guy see her as a girl.

“Not bucin, but in fact she is beautiful. I thought, I would never be able to fall in love with another girl other than her even if I lost my memory.” Blue with sparkling eyes.

Luna throbbing amusedly. “I was curious how was he like? Recognize, doong, same me.”

“Iya, ntar I know.” Blue replied, closing the sketchbook, then looking back at the afternoon sky.

“When?” Tanya Luna urged.

“When-when.” Sahut Biru then without looking at Luna.

The girl's cheeks puffed up funny. “Ihh, really, so?”

“Cerewet.” Blue chuckled softly after previously hitting Luna on the head using her sketchbook. He felt that his friend was too curious.

There was no more conversation between them after that. Both of them quietly looked at the sky, observing the motion of the sun that increasingly disappeared below the horizon line in the west to then let the moon align its shine in the night sky with the stars.

The light that revealed the orange color of the afternoon slowly dimmed, replaced with the dimness of the night that began to ambush, leading humans to rest, and, to then welcome the blue sky of tomorrow that will bring hope to all those who do not know the word surrender.
