Still In Love's
EP. 86. Awkward

*********

Blue squirms little in her sleep, her hands reflexively move looking around for an orange body for her to hug.

The two are currently still curled under the covers after a few hours ago just arrived at the home of parents of Orange from his return honeymoon.

Blue and Orange arrive home around midnight, tired in each other's bodies because the long journey makes them want to linger resting and reluctant to get out of bed.

Feeling his body interested, the orange who was also asleep began to wake up. Slowly, he opened his eyes until they opened perfectly. Both corners of his lips were attracted when he found Blue's face in front of him.

Blue's handsome face is a sight that Orange always sees every time it opens its eyes in the morning these days, and Orange loves it. He will never get bored even if he has to look at it every second.

“Build. . .” The voice of orange sounded soft. He took a little distance to make it more free to see Blue's handsome face. His hand then stretched out stroking the husband's jaw that felt smooth without any hair because the man was diligent in doing facial hair.

“Sayang. . .” Call Orange once again, but the man just moaned.

“Capek really, yes?” Orange smiled anxiously staring at the plain face Blue who looked very calm. Very different when in a state of consciousness, the man will be very annoying and continue to disturb him.

“Such sweet, anyway, if you are sleeping.” Said Jingga was anxious, she wanted to land a pinch on Blue cheek, but she was reluctant to do so because she did not want to make her husband wake up.

In the end, it wasn't the pinch that landed on Blue's cheek. But an affectionate kiss from Orange.

“Morning kiss.” Mumbled orange shortly after landing a kiss on her husband's cheek. Then, slowly releasing the tightly coiled Blue hand on her waist, she moved from the bed to the bathroom to clean herself up.

After cleaning up, Orange chooses to get out of the room, leaving Blue still sound asleep. Then he stepped his feet towards the bottom floor, approaching Mother who was preparing breakfast in the kitchen.

“Again, Bun.” Sapa Jingga was carefree as soon as her steps arrived at the kitchen.

Seen the Mother who moves shrewdly prepare breakfast needs assisted with Aunt household assistant. Usually Dusk helps her, but because of her condition is pregnant, Mother so forbid her to do anything.

“Ciee, who already has a husband, wakes up straight to the kitchen. Usually also difficult to wake up, tuh.” Orange snorted with a blushed face as soon as she heard Mother teasing her.

“Mother fuck anyway. How come, screw me?” He said with a funny face.

Then with spoiled orange approached and hugged Mother from behind, smirking her face in the niche of the neck of the woman who had given birth to it, she then sniffed the scent of her body that always felt soothing.

“Yes, Orange. If you do not want to help, do not disturb Mother kayak gini, dong.” Mother who is cutting onions seriously disturbed by the spoiled behavior of her daughter who is no longer a girl.

“Totally the same Mother.” Orange tightened his embrace. Just a week he did not wrestle spoiled with his mother, but Jingga longed for this habit.

“Malu, dong. Time has a husband his behavior is still like gini.” Summate Mother later.

“Then what? People just hug Mother doang, kok.” The orange law does not accept.

“Ji, geez. You're fuckin', anyway? Lastly, no?” Mother thrashed slowly by moving her shoulders.

“Banging doang.” Spoiled whine.

Mother rolled her eyes lazy. “Mother so pity the same Blue, have a wife, really, spoiled like gini.”

Orange snorting with pursed lips. If only Mother knew that the spoiled one was Blue, not her. “I don't care.”

“Is. Udah, deh, you mending help Mother with Aunt nyiapin breakfast.” Tell Mother later.

“I help what?” Orange asked lazily for a moment after she let go of her embrace.

“Take a banana, yogurt, equal honey in the fridge, run out of it you make smoothies.” Mommy replied without taking her eyes off the onion she was cutting.

“Lho, instead of Mommy want to make fried rice, yes?” Tanya Orange was astonished because she saw the ingredients to make fried rice was ready in the table top.

“Iya, fried rice for us. Smoothies for Biel, you, right, know he doesn't like to eat rice.”

Orange nodded his head. True, he forgot that his nephew could not eat rice until he had to replace his carbohydrate intake with another. Orange to wonder itself because the child should have passed the picky eating phase, but until now still do not like to eat rice.

“Bintang brother seems to have to take Biel to a psychologist deh, Bun. Yes, Biel is five years old still do not want to eat rice.” Said Orange while opening the refrigerator door, then his eyes circled looking for bananas there.

“Keep also you try to biasain love him rice, do not be replaced continue.” His hand had touched the banana, but he did not immediately take it and instead fell silent as if he was thinking about something.

“Mother and Dusk also often love Biel rice, but you know himself he likes to go bersamuk if told to eat rice. It's not good either, Ji.” Sahut Bunda who now switched on the stove to prepare sauteed fried rice seasoning.

“But he said Your brother has signed up Biel for therapy.” Continue Mother.

“Ohh, thank God, if so. I'm worried that Biel's health will be compromised.” Orange Futures. “Ohh, yes, Bun. I can replace the banana with a strawberry, can't I?” Asked then as his eyes caught the strawberries there, he remembered Blue who was very fond of strawberry smoothies.

“Why replaced? The banana is ugly, huh?” Mommy asked back, feeling new to buy bananas yesterday in the super market.

“Not that. But I want to make Blue Brother, he likes strawberry smoothies.” Answer Orange. Mommy just nodded in understanding with a thin meaningful smile on her lips.

“Yes is okay, just change.”

Orange smiled happily to hear it. And it didn't take long, he immediately took strawberries and other ingredients to make smoothies.

“Ji, later if you are again at the home of Blue parents do not wake up late as gini.” Said Mommy stopping the hand of Orange who was cutting strawberries.

“What misery, Bun? I woke up at six, you know.” A little protest.

“I mean Mother, you do not get to wake up first with Mama Lisa, so. Even better if you're in the kitchen and have breakfast before everyone wakes up.” Clearly Mother who now walked to the cabin cabinet to take the dishes, while the unripe fried rice she handed over to Bi Tini.

“I don't promise.” The orange doubt.

“Inget! You must be the favorite daughter-in-law of mother-in-law.” With anxiety Mother pokes the nose of Orange who is now silent to pay attention to her movements.

“Then it's called imaging, Bun. Attracting the attention of the mother-in-law by pretending to be diligent. No, deh, I don't like to get people's attention.” Reply Orange who refocused on stroberi.

“Not exactly what it means . . .” Mother with an anxiety hit the arm of the orange to make the child almost cut his own finger instead of strawberries.

“Iya-iya, I understand, kok.” The orange grimaced while holding his arm.

“Awas, do not let you be shy Daddy same Mother, Ji.” Mother gave a warning again.

“Iya.” Sahut Orange lazy, then throw his breath rough, it turns out married is not just fun in bed. There were so many new tasks that he had to pay attention to, including gaining the heart of the in-laws.

Meanwhile in the room of Orange, Blue began to wake up from his deep sleep. The man then groped the bed next to him, his new eyes slightly opened up perfectly when he realized he did not feel the Orange beside him.

Blue got out of bed and looked for his wife in the bathroom, but he didn't find her there.

“Till where?” Blue panicked a little and hurriedly came out of the room to look for Orange.

However, soon after, she realized that she was currently at her in-laws' house. Blue smiled slightly and shook his head, so afraid that he would lose the orange that he could not let the girl out of the reach of his eyes.

Blue then decides to clean himself up first before then descending to look for his wife.

He first checked the living room because it was closest to the stairs, but the orange was not there. And the rest of the house, he found none of them.

“Again, Bi.” Greet the Stars as soon as Blue arrives in the living room. His sister-in-law was watching the morning news with a cup of coffee and snacks.

“Which father, Brother?” Blue asked as he sat himself beside the Star.

“Morning run.” The star replied without shifting its focus from the television that was broadcasting the corruption news. Blue himself just nods and ohh ria.

“You want coffee, right? Let me ask Auntie makein.” Bargain the Star then who now turned his eyes to Blue.

“Nevent gone, Brother, thanks.” Reject the actual Blue she was still very hesitant as this was her first time sitting down and talking to her sister-in-law together.

“Ohh, yes udah.” Sahut Stars. “By the way, when do you guys come?”

Although actually Bintang already knew that, but he asked her again to just mince words. He himself was also confused looking for the topic of conversation. Just like Blue, Star also felt awkward sitting together like this with her sister-in-law.

“Jam half unit size. The plane was delayed, so we arrived late.” Answer Blue as it is.

Silent moment. Blue bit her lower lip, her eyes twisting in any direction. He desperately wished for Orange to come and save him from this awkward situation right now.

“How's it going? Smoothly?” Ask the Star then shortly after sipping his coffee.

“Currently?” Blue scrunched his forehead, failing to digest the intent of his sister-in-law's question.

Stars are meaningfully moving. “Yes that, make a cousin to Biel means. Have you got any good news yet?”

“Newly also a week of marriage, Sister. Yes Orange immediately pregnant as soon as it.”

“Iya, anyway. I used to be just as Dusk not that fast.” Sahut Bintang remembers the early days of her marriage.

“Gue also hopes to be able to mop-cepet have children.” Reply Blue while exhaling a weak breath.

“Can, really, sure I. Really don't procrastinate, do you guys?” Ask the Stars to make sure.

“No, lah.” Blue shook slowly.

“But there the effort continues, right?” Ask the Stars again with a meaningful smile.

His breathing is weak. “Have, anyway, that's it. But first the same monthly guest of Orange.”

“Wahh, loss, dong?” Sahut Bintang accompanied by laughter slowly.

Blue grimaces accompanied by a stiff grin. “Yaa so, lah, lo know yourself.”

As predicted, Orange got its monthly guests that day as well. And as long as they spent the rest of the honeymoon, Blue had to settle for just hugging and kissing Orange. Blue is quite frustrated about it, it feels like he wants to curse, but does not know who.

During the day may be Blue is not disturbed at all because he is busy having fun with Orange enjoying every tourist destination in St. Moritz. But not when night falls, his body is really made restless and dizzy at once. Sometimes he even had to shampoo the night.

“But usually if it runs out it likes directly tokcer.” The sound of the returning Star buzzing in the ears scattered the Blue Daydream.

“Gue aminin first, deh.” Blue said smiling amusedly.

“Janga just finished, lo direct gaspol.” The star teased while punching Blue's shoulder arm softly.

“Gaspol what?” The orange that suddenly came to them, made Blue who was about to speak the words of the Star again close his mouth.

“Gaspol make your children both.” Reply the Star with flashing eyes teasing the newlywed couple in front of him.

“Ihh, perverted.” Orange with a shy face.

The star pulled the corner of her lips down as if sneering. “Kayak do not like aja.”

“Ish, apan, anyway, Kak?” Grunts Orange, then throws his gaze in any direction.

“Because I don't want to know. Love Biel sister cousin soon.”

“Emang Kakira dapetin child as easy as making this cake?” Pick up the orange while thrusting the cookies he took from the plate into the face of the Star.

It sucks once, just a week she and Blue got married, but already billed the child alone. Not only the Stars, but Father and Mother also used it.

“Kesel, right, billed kayak gini when not long married? Well, my sister used to be like that too. Now feel it yourself.” Cibir Bintang as he moved from his seat, did not forget he ruffled his orange hair before actually moving away.

“Hiish, ngeselin.” Grunts Orange while tidying back his slightly messy hair before then switching to Blue.

“Come breakfast, Same father Mother has been waiting at the dinner table.” Take it after you finish getting your hair done. He then reached out his hand so that Blue quickly moved from his seat.

“Oke.” Blue grabbed an orange helping hand, but did not move. He just stared silently at Orange while stroking his hand.

“I'm watching you because you're not in the room. Ehh, his year is here.” Orange said then while gently stroking Blue cheeks with one free hand.

“After breakfast we go home Mama-Papa, yes.” Orange was a little surprised as Blue pulled her hand until her body fell right on the lap of the man.

“Say you came home last night tomorrow. How to hurry gini?” The cry of Orange sounded protest.

“It was, but I'm really awkward here. I'm not comfortable, we'll stay here next time, yes.” Blue Speak that immediately made the appearance of the orange face turned disappointed.

“You are uncomfortable and feel awkward staying here. How do I keep going? You think I'll be all right later to stay at your parents' house?” The orange clucked with a sliced smile.

“Till I–”

“I just asked us to stay here last night, and you don't want to just feel uncomfortable and awkward? How about me who might stay a long time at your parents' house?” Continue to Interrupt the speech that Blue wants to throw.

Blue was silent for a moment, his eyes could not be separated looking at the face of Orange who began to turn red withstanding crying.

“Other times, okay?” Firmly Blue no matter, his hands gently caressed the face of Orange full of persuasion. While Orange immediately turned his face.

“Hem?” Blue grabbed the orange chin to face back towards him.

“Semalem aja, please.” The orange sounded clear, because basically, he was not ready to go out and leave his parents' house. At least one day, let him prepare himself and his heart just for a day.

“Rome to breakfast.” And Blue's words sound indisputable.

“Where do you want to be comfortable and not awkward if you do not want to get closer like a gini? You should, tuh, try to get along with Brother, Father, and Mother. Not avoiding situations like gini.” Orange takes out its eggs. His breathing rose and fell, as much as possible to refrain from raising the voice.

“Iya, but there are many ways besides I stay here.” Blue with care. But no matter how soft his voice, it still makes the heart of Orange upset.

“By the way I only ask to nap a day.” Say Orange again with a sour face.

“Lain times, Dear. Honestly, I'm actually not ready to face the same kind of kayak gini. I can't if I have to stay here for a long time.”

Orange kembai threw away face, his heart was completely incestuous now. What did he say? Less ready? Always thinking of himself. Does Blue think she will also be immediately comfortable while staying at her parents' house later? Tck, you selfish ass.

“Ya it's up to you, I'm coming.” Speak Orange while descending from the lap of Blue.

Orange relented, she knew she would lose if she argued over Blue. In addition, she returned to her nature as a wife who should not argue with her husband's speech. Although Orange was disappointed, but what could he do?
