Still In Love's
EP. 87. Regrets

*********

Blue and Orange joined at the dinner table for breakfast with his parents and older brother who had sat there first.

“Sorry to make you wait.” Said Blue did not feel good while pulling the chair he would sit on.

“Nothing, Bi, relax aja.” Dad smiled without bothering about it.

“You don't have to worry, Bi. Think of this as your own home, you have become part of this family as well” Timpal Bunda who feels the uncomfortable attitude of his daughter-in-law.

“Iya, Bun.” Answer Blue politely.

Even though Mommy says it like that, but still Blue feels awkward. In fact, every day he was dealing with patients and leading hundreds of subordinate staff in the hospital, and he was always fine. But, dealing with her in-laws and sister-in-law felt completely different.

“Ya now we start eating.” Then I said to start their breakfast.

Orange took food for Blue even though his heart was still filled with annoyance. The girl was quite painstaking as she had already gotten used to serving Blue a meal after spending a few days with the man who was already her husband.

“You want fried rice or smoothies?” Ask Orange.

“I want fried rice. But I also want smoothies.” Blue wants to eat both. He was very hungry and needed to eat rice, but he also wanted to eat those smoothies that seemed to look good.

“OK, you can eat the smoothies for cover later.” Orange then asked Bi Tini to put the smoothies back in the fridge to keep them fresh.

“Enough, no?” Ask Orange again after taking a barrel full of fried rice for him to put in the Blue plate. The man replied with a nod of his head accompanied by a faint smile on his lips.

“Still, Dear.” Blue said smiling sincerely. The orange just nodded his head slowly. Father and Mother who saw the sight seemed to smile happily.

For a moment, there was no conversation at the dinner table. Everyone focused on their food, it seemed that little Biel was also eating quietly beside her mother. Only the sound of clanking plates and spoons and forks clashing together echoed in the dining room.

“Eung, Father, Mother . . .” Call Blue suddenly broke the silence. Everyone reflexively turned their attention to him.

“Iya, why, Bi?” Sahut Dad stopped for a moment his eating activities.

“Sorry, I'm going to bring Orange home to Mama-Papa.” Blue replied telling her intention to go home after breakfast.

Father and Mother were silent for a while, they looked surprised to hear Blue's words.

“Why rush, Bi?” Ask Mommy sounds protesting. “You can stay here for at least one or two more days.” Excitement then.

However, Mother still can not let go of her only daughter just like that, Mother still misses her. Especially after her wedding day some time ago, Mother has not met again with Orange. No way, she still wants to see her daughter in this house and indulge in it.

“Sorry, Mother.” Sesal Biru who saw the look of Mother's face looks clear.

“Tapi–”

“Munda.” Sela Dad stopped his wife's words. I hope you understand if now they have no rights at all to Orange.

Although they wanted to hold Orange in her house for a while, but they could not do without her husband's permission now, because the rights to their daughter had been fully handed over to Blue once the ijab kabul process was done.

“Okay, it's okay. Mother was just a little surprised because this is too fast.” Said Mother trying to understand, the corner of her lips then interested in forming a smile that looks forced.

“Previous thanks.” Blue smiles very thinly. “Other times I have the same Orange here, I promise.”

“Iya, Bi, relax aja.” Father spoke wisely. Blue smiling nodded in response to him.

While Orange, she looked at this situation with a sad look, she lowered her gaze on the plate containing her fried rice to hide her teary eyes.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that a woman after marriage, at home her own parents become like a guest. Why should there be this part? He doesn't like. It feels so hard to leave the parents who love him, and the house that has been the most comfortable place since childhood.

“Ohh, yes. Where do you want to live in front of him? Your parents' house?” Ask Dad to switch the conversation. I know that Blue hasn't prepared that yet, given their sudden wedding.

“Not, Dad. For a while maybe we live in an apartment first, because I have not been home.” Answer Blue which he had previously discussed with Orange to live apart from his parents in order to be independent.

“If you are still two, anyway, it is not a problem to live in an apartment. But if you have children, I think you need a bigger house.” Said Dad a moment after he gulped down his drinking water.

“Actually I bought a house. But Orange does not like the location, so now we plan to build it ourselves.”

“Lho, dear, dong, have not bought?” Sahut Mommy with frown in wonder.

“I've sold again, Bun. Keep the money I use to buy land in his deket Kak Bintang.” Clear Blue. Father and Mother nodded their heads understanding, as well as happy because Blue chose a strategic place to build a house.

“Padahan there is also a house that wants to be sold, Bi. Why buy vacant land?” Bintang menimpali who is considered to agree by Dusk, as well as regretting because his sister-in-law did not ask for his opinion to buy land there.

“Then you want to wake up from scratch, Kak.” Answered Blue glanced towards the orange at a glance while smiling gently. “Lagian renovation also takes a lot of time.”

Stars nodded. “Yes too, anyway. Build yourself or renovation is not much different.”

“Then it must be spit-cepet built before you guys hunt to have children.” Mother chimed again, considering Orange and Blue will not delay to have children.

“Iya, Bun. And the plan is I want to ask for help from Dad Bintang for that.” Previously Blue was about to discuss this with her Father-in-law, but she had not found the right moment. It just so happened that at this time Dad asked about it, so he could tell his intentions.

“We want to ask Dad and Kak Bintang to design and build a comfortable home for us.” Orange who was already feeling calm now joined the conversation.

“Say you want to save the cost of the same design contractor, yes, right?” Ledek The silent ignorant star got a small pinch on his thigh from Dusk.

“Iya, lah, have a father with an architectural brother and have his company, it's a pity if not utilizedin.” Reply Orange relaxing.

“Architectural companies that enter the top 10 best in Asia want to be utilized? A gratis? Big NO.” Stars joke with shitty faces.

Orange snorted as if to see it. It was very desirable that he pelted his brother with a spoon in his hand right now.

“OK, I'm ready to build a house for you. But, it is true what the stars say. Nothing is free.” Said Dad with a big smile.

“I didn't ask for free, Dad.” Sahut Biru with a serious face, making Dad hold back laughter to see it.

“What are you, anyway, Bi? Show off again if you have a lot of money?” Dad chuckled softly. “Dad knows you can afford it, but Dad doesn't ask for money.”

“Terus?” Blue asked doubtfully with her eyebrows raised in confusion.

“Pay Dad with cute-funny grandson.” Dad answered with a crisp laugh.

“If it can be ten.” Mother raised ten fingers of her hand, making everyone laugh except Orange who can only snort. The woman asked for a grandchild like she was buying ten servings of meatballs, it was easy to say.

“Keep, the plan is when to start building his house, Bi?” Ask Dad after his laughter has subsided.

“Hope, anyway as soon as possible. But I don't know where to start.” After all, this was the first time Blue took care of the construction of a house.

“Yes already, if so leave everything the same Dad. Let me take care of everything. Tomorrow the day after tomorrow you take Dad to his land location, can you, right?”

“Can, Dad. Can be bang.” Blue nodded happily before then returning to speech. “Before thank you already want repotin.”

“What are you talking about, anyway, Bi? Father is happy because he can build a house for children and grandchildren Father lives later.” And basically, the name of the old man never felt bothered by his children.

********

After finishing breakfast with a long conversation at the dining table, now Blue and Orange have returned to the room.

Orange with his mood is still bad, choosing to busy themselves to pack his things to move.

Actually Orange only packed all the makeup equipment, because some of his clothes he had put in a suitcase from far away before marrying Blue.

“Which other items you want to bring? Let me help you pack.” Tanya Blue offers help.

“Udah all.” Reply Orange while closing the zipper make up case without looking towards Blue.

Blue exhaled a rough breath, then approached Orange who was sitting in front of the dressing table.

“You angry?” Tanya Blue who felt that Orange had not talked much since a few hours ago she brought her home. The look on the girl's face was also crazily bent.

“No, let's go now.” Orange moved from her seat, then pulled the suitcase she had placed in the corner of the dressing table.

Blue holds the hand of the orange holding the suitcase. “If you still want to stay here can, really. But I still go home now, tomorrow you I'll pick up.”

The orange who almost felt happy was even made more upset, wanting her to cry right now. What the fuck is this Blue? His family would probably think they weren't okay if it was like that.

“What the hell are you doing, brother? Don't ngaco, you.” Excited Orange annoyed.

“Yes you're like beke.” Sahut Blue tried to hold his patience.

“Nggak.” Orange releases Blue hands. “Udah, ahh, come down. Poor Mr. Rudi is waiting.” He continued, re-stretching his legs that had stopped.

“Yes but you don't get mad like this, dong. Not very sincere it looks.” Blue then took over the suitcase from Orange's hand.

“No, I'm not angry.” The orange Sahut is as soft as possible, but the look of his face is still flat. Then he walked out of the room ahead of Blue.

True, Orange was not angry, but he was only a little disappointed because Blue did not think about his feelings.

********

Hand of Father and Mother, hand, and her brother can still see from the reflection of the rearview mirror of the car which is now slowly starting to move away from the yard after a while ago she and Blue say goodbye to go home Papa Rendi.

Mommy seemed to hold back her tears when she released her beloved daughter who would be far away from her.

Mother felt this was unfair because she had cared for Orange from childhood with affection, but now others take it for granted. Mother hoped to turn the clock around and prayed that the orange would not grow up at all so that she could continue with him, but the reality could not be like that.

Along the way, Orange turned his face and chose to look at the vehicle's traffic from the car window.

There was no conversation at all between them until there was a quiet atmosphere in the car, occasionally there was a horn sound that sounded Mr. Rudi broke the silence.

“He didn't get angry, but he kept me.” Tegur Biru while pulling orange cheeks until the girl turned to him with a stern look.

“Kak, shy. . . .” Protests half-whispered orange when found Blue even hugged him from the side until now their bodies docked.

It is not that Orange wants to reject Blue, it's just that Orange feels uncomfortable with Mr. Rudi who might see them from the rearview mirror.

“Then what's up, anyway? My people just hug you doang, do not say anything.” The orange rolled his eyes.

Tc. Just hugging what? Now even Blue was kissing the niche of his neck with one hand that was already creeping mischievously behind his back.

“Kak, later at home. Shame, know, same sir Rudi.” Tegur Orange kept Blue's face away from her neck, then looked at her with a look of dislike. This guy really doesn't know where.

Blue snorted softly, then exhaled violently when activities that are now his new hobby should be forced to stop just like that.

“Yes, I'll sleep if it's.” Blue rests its head on the shoulders of the orange.

“Kok sleeping?” Ask the orange without realizing it.

“Finally bosen, my wife does not want to be invited to talk from earlier.” Blue replied insinuatingly, then began to close his eyes. The orange just grunts unnoticed. After all, who had already made his mood go bad like this?

“Build me when I get to.” Blue Pinta without opening your eyes.

“Hmm.” Replied the lazy orange while throwing his gaze back out the car window.

“Ji. . .” Blue's voice sounded like a reprimand, the man seemed to dislike the way Orange answered him.

“Yes, I'll wake you up later.” The orange who understood her husband's dislike.

“Jingga.”

“Iya, what else?”

“Smoke my head.” Blue pulled out an orange hand and placed it on his head.

Orange took a deep breath to find patience there. Didn't Blue know that he was still upset?

Tck, Orange so lamented his own fate that seemed to change drastically. Already had to massage the husband, his shoulder used as a pillow, now told to wipe his head anyway. Is she going to be Blue's servant from now on? Ahh, no! She wants to be a single girl again.

For some reason, after returning home from his honeymoon and returning to the real world, Jingga felt her heart empty now, she felt sad and also depressed at once.

The change in status from a girl to a wife is quite surprising, Jingga is really shocked by her new responsibilities that she has never experienced.

Orang even now thinks that his decision to get married is a big mistake he made in his life. Ahh, why is her feeling so mellow like this?

********

Upon arrival at home, Blue and Orange are greeted by Papa and Mama as soon as their feet enter the house. The Blue old man seemed enthusiastic about welcoming the arrival of his son and daughter-in-law.

“Welcome home. . .” Mama happily hugged and kissed the cheek of an orange as her daughter-in-law set her foot inside the house.

“Still, Ma.” Reply Orange smiled kindly.

“Welcome home, Beautiful sister.” Papa swung the legs of Reno who was being carried as if the cat was greeting them.

Blue snorted as hard as seeing Reno who looked so spoiled. After all, this Papa is okay to welcome them while carrying all the cats?

“Haha, this is Reno, Pa?” Ask Orange while stroking the chin of the cat that looks very tame.

“Iya. Similar Blue, right, Ji?” Sahut Papa asked for approval.

“Enak. I don't look like him, Pa.” Blue protest not accepted. Highlighting her eyes looking at Reno with a fierce gaze, Blue thought she really should get rid of the cat from the house as soon as possible.

“Udah, you guys don't keep fighting. Now mending you bring orange to the room, Bi. Rest, shower, keep running out of it we have lunch.” My mother stopped the little quarrel between her husband and son.

“Iya, Ma.” Sahut Biru who then moved and invited Orange to enter his room on the second floor.

This was the second time that Orange entered the Blue room. At that time this room was decorated with a light gray theme with a masculine concept typical of boys. But this time it looks different. The orange eye doesn't see wrong, does it?

“Yes for Mama.” Blue exhaled weakly, surprised to see the decoration of his room which now changed drastically from the last time he left. Whether goods or wall paint, everything has been replaced. Only the closet shelf as the door to the secret room still survives there.

The masculine room is now changing to be more fresh with a combination of rose gold and gray colors. It's still cozy, but it's too girly. More suitable for Orange.

“Surprise, you like, right, Ji?” Mama suddenly came as a surprise to those who were still standing in the doorway.

“Mama what the fuck is my room remodel so like gini?” Blue asked in protest, but Mama didn't care. He even now embraces the arms of the orange and leads him to sit on the edge of the bed.

“Mama, tuh, from the first time pengiiiin really ngedekor room kayak gini for girls Mama. But, because the one born Blue and Mama do not have children anymore, Mama's dreams so not deliver.” Obviously Mama as soon as they sit on the edge of the bed. The middle-aged woman's gaze circulated throughout the room, she smiled satisfied with the decoration.

“Ma, this is a girl's room, I don't like.” Blue Dumel approached his wife and mother shortly after placing the Orange suitcase near the closet

While Mama only glanced at Blue, then her gaze turned back to Orange.

“And thanks to you, Mama can realize the dream of Mama, Ji.” Mama continued with a smile on her lips, her heart was really happy because now she has a daughter in her home.

“Ma–”

“You like it, right?” Mama tucked the child's hair that irritated the face of the orange behind her ear.

Blue snorted as it was again ignored. He feels invisible now. This is so unfair. Both Reno and Orange, both have managed to grab the attention of Mama and Papa from him.

“Like, Mom.” Sahut Orange with sparkling eyes. “Still want to take care of all this for me.”

Orange felt very lucky because it had in-laws as good as Mama who thought it was like her own child. At least, this makes the troubled heart of Orange a little calmer.

“Mama hope, you can feel at home and comfortable living here.” A smiling orange nodded his head. “Ya have you rested first.”

My mom walked and walked out of their room. However, before actually leaving, Mama tells Blue to meet Papa in her study.

“I go down first.” Blue Pamit answered nodding the head of Orange.

“Kelang.” The orange harrumphed amusedly as Blue managed to steal a single kiss on his lips.

********

After the death of Blue and her mother-in-law, Orange chose to enter the secret room belonging to Blue. It seemed like he had to calm himself down to eliminate all the resentment and gloom that was seeping into his heart and mind.

“It turns out he also got this.” Orange smiled faintly, his hands outstretched to pick up Nicholas Sparks' novel The Notebook. The novel that tells the love story of Allie and Noah has been read a lot. According to Orange, their love story is almost similar to his love story with Blue.

“It seems to read this while soaking together okay also.” The orange murmur in the heart that reflexes made his face and body heat up.

“Hiish, what the hell, anyway?” The orange hit his head slowly with the book he was holding right now. He could have imagined his innocent body with Blue soaking in the bathtub together.

To throw away his dirty thoughts, hastily Jingga positioned herself sitting on a folding mattress, not forgetting she also stacked two pillows so that her back could lean comfortably.

Before reading his book, for a moment he was silent to deepen his heart and mind that suddenly felt gambled.

Orange is already married to Blue, but why does her heart suddenly become sad and confused?

“What am I miesel?” The orange asked himself.
