“You are from the bathroom or bookstore, Ji?” Sky asked in wonder because Orange came with a book in his hand.
“No idea, nih, who's got.”
The sky snatched the book from the hands of the orange as soon as the girl sat next to him. “Kok you brought? Later people nyariin, you know.”
“I thought I had that girl.” Orange then pointed to the girl who was sitting far away at the very end, precisely across from their seat. But even though it is far away, the orange eye can still reach it. He then recounted his encounter with the girl until the book could be in his hands.
The sky turned to follow the direction of the orange gaze, its eyes squinting in order to see the girl clearly. But, it's useless, because all it looks like is his back.
“Not possible, lah. Anyway, why do adults also bring children's story books?” The sky then.
“You, right, also have a collection of children's books, Lang.” Dusk reminded.
The sky is indeed a lot of reading children's story books because they adjust to their work related to children.
“Yes too, sih.” The sky chuckles. Orange snorted at him, he could sneer at people, but he himself forgot himself.
“Elsa?” Sky murmured while reading the writing listed in the upper right corner of the cover of the picture story book.
“Perhaps the girl's name is Elsa. Very suitable, anyway, because he had a cold as an ice kayak, where a bit jutek again.” Said Orange without distracting her from the soup she was eating.
“The girl?” The sky turned a glance towards the girl that was meant by Orange earlier.
“Hmm.” The orange sipped its soup back without looking up at the sky.
“Ohh, yes. In the hospital, I also met a beautiful girl who looked like that. Eleven twelve equal refrigerator ten doors your husband, Ji.” Suddenly Heaven remembered the girl he thought would help him when he fell because Orange hit him that time.
“Ish, whatan, anyway, it's good for Kak Biru in the refrigerator.” Dengus Orange does not accept. But the sky didn't notice it.
“Continue, you guys, you know, don't you? She's the first girl who won't take my hand. Ngeselin, no, anyway? She's not normal or what?” The sky still did not accept the attitude of the girl yesterday. Because, as Heaven knows, all the girls around him would definitely be happy when he offered his helping hand.
“That means she is normal, her eyes are not blind like most girls who desperately chase you.” Orange cried out after he almost choked when he heard the sky tell him this. So curious orange, who is the girl who is not interested in her best friend at all?
“Wahh, like the single from birth has started to normal. Tumben, interested in girls?” Dusk replied shortly after he stopped his activities eating crepes.
“Normal? Tumben?” The sky knitted its brows not understanding. Dusk nodded and then returned.
“Kakak guess, you don't like girls all this time.” Because the Twilight remembered, he had never heard the Sky tell him about a girl in his life.
“Enak. I once liked someone, kok.” Bela Langit did not accept Dusk thinking he was abnormal.
“Oh, yes?” The sky stared at him in disbelief.
“Successful, if you don't believe.” The sky rolled his eyes lazily, then took a sip of his drink.
“Who? Brother never heard you tell, tuh.” Tanya Dusk was curious, yet her gaze was still in disbelief.
“Dia J–”
“Ehem.” The orange hurriedly cleared his throat before the Sky fluttered. It feels, it would be very uncomfortable if only Kak Dusk or others knew.
“Dia . ., friend, friend. . . .” Sky awakened. For a moment he twisted his brain to find an excuse, because Dusk was still waiting for an answer from him. “Friends of fellow doctors at the hospital where I work now.”
“Continue, why did you stop? She rejects you?” Dusk asked again.
“Hmm.” The sky nodded slowly.
Dusk flabbergasted with a lascivious delicacy. “Hiish, who is this stupid girl who has dared to refuse this handsome sister?”
The sky swallowed. Meanwhile, the orange who heard him almost choked on the soup he had just put in his mouth.
“Heii, no that, Kak–” Langit who suddenly felt clumsy, then scratched his nape that did not itch.
“You were a success, handsome, kind, but that girl rejected you instead? Tck, if he's not stupid, what's his name? Idiot?” Dusk grumpy annoyed. The orange that heard it just lowered his head, pretending to focus on his soup.
“That's because she's the wife of people, Kak.” Sahut Langit sekennya so that his brother stopped chattering. But, not wrong either. Now Orange is someone's wife, right?
Orange this time was completely choking, he wanted to laugh at the ridiculous statement of Heaven. However, another case with Dusk which again made flabbergasted in disbelief.
“This child.” Dusk growled, the distended woman grabbed the wallet she had placed next to her, then stood up and beat the sky with the wallet.
“Stupid basis.”
“Reliability.”
“Who taught you how, HAH?” Dusk continued to beat his sister with anxiety as well as annoyance.
“Kayak no other girls aja.” The sky tried to hold the arms of Dusk, but the energy of pregnant women was apparently stronger.
“Kak, already, dong.” Sky thrashing.
The orange that saw it only hissed iris. After all, why should Heaven give such a ridiculous excuse?
“You want to be a household destroyer?” Then one final blow violently landed on Sky's shoulder arm, before then Dusk sat back down as his breathing began to pant.
“Yes, it's just the past.” The Sky is thick. “Lagian, yes. If we like someone, the heart cannot choose.”
“Ya but not people's wives either.” The twilight still did not accept, his hand could not stand still again hitting the shoulder arm of Heaven once again.
“Stay cannot be choosy. Want her beautiful or not, girl or widow, married girl, older or young, if you like, yes like aja.” Reply Sky relaxed to make Dusk almost floated his wallet back.
The orange who witnessed it could only hold back the laughter while shaking their heads. Already know Dusk was annoyed at him, Sky still just said silly things.
********
Orange continued to flutter the television channel in annoyance while exhaling a rough breath. He would occasionally stomp his feet on the floor so badly.
“Keep when to go home?” Orang urgency himself shortly after he read the incoming message from Blue who said he could not go home today because his business was not finished.
With no intention of replying to the message from her husband, Jingga threw her phone hard on the sofa next to her.
Jingga frowned, before leaving for Surabaya Blue said it would only spend four days there, at most one week. In fact, in fact, it has been more than ten days that the man did not come home.
Blue said he and Papa Rendi had to settle their affairs with some of the victims of the accident as a form of responsibility from the hospital owner.
In addition, they must also investigate the cause of the project accident, which was caused by corruption by the developer. Apparently, the developer did not build the hospital as it should have caused the building to collapse and claimed many lives.
The orange set its breath to calm the rumbling in his heart. He misses him so much, but what can he do? She should not be childish, she should understand the position and responsibilities of her husband who is the son of the owner of the hospital.
But still, even though he had tried to understand, the longing that had arisen in his heart could not be covered.
The orange could not hold back his cries anymore, his tears were flowing as well. Always like this, every day, and alone. She never showed it to Blue, because she didn't want to make her husband unsettled.
Actually Orange wonder himself, the last four days he became a whiny like this when he missed Blue. Though, before it was fine.
A moment later, the sound of the apartment bell stopped her crying. Counted already two days Orange lived in the apartment he occupied with Blue. He gave a contrived excuse until Father allowed him to stay alone, even though the middle-aged man gave him permission with a heavy heart.
The lazy orange cooks dinner because he is too tired to work, deciding to order food through the app.
Now a mature sushi roll is presented on the dining table. The orange that suddenly became sensitive to raw fish made him have to order this type of sushi.
“Aww, it hurts so much.” Orange held his head that felt heavy, then he checked his own body temperature using the palm of his hand.
“It looks rather feverish.” He murmured later, before finally choosing to end his dinner. He only ate two pieces of sushi.
After cleaning the dining table and brushing his teeth in the bathroom, Orange immediately lay down on the bed without taking any heat-lowering drugs first. Because he thought that just by sleeping, his fever would be cured. The fever is not severe.
********
The next day at about half-five in the morning, Blue came home and stood at the door of the apartment. Both corners of his lips were attracted to form an expanding smile. He couldn't wait to give the orange the surprise of his arrival.
Last night, Blue accidentally told his wife that he could not go home on the grounds that there were still some things he had to take care of because he wanted to surprise Orange.
Blue's index finger then pressed the passcode of his apartment door impatiently, then carefully he stepped his foot inside. The living room was still dark, and it looked like his wife was still sleeping.
Blue impatiently wanted to see the orange that he had missed so much for twelve days.
Slowly, he opened the room door, but Blue slightly jerked as the light of the lamp burst forth as soon as he opened the door. Apparently, the orange did not turn on the sleeping lights and let itself sleep in this bright state.
Blue stepped his feet towards the bed, the corner of his lips were attracted when he saw the orange that was still sound asleep.
“Honey, I'm home.” Blue Whispers were right in the ears of Orange just after he had sat himself on the edge of the bed. However, the girl was not disturbed at all. The orange sleeps in a calm position.
Long enough Blue looked at the sleeping face of his wife who was very peaceful. The face that always filled his head, that he always wanted to see at all times. Blue smiled, no matter what magic Orange used to make him crazy about him like this.
“I miss very much you.” Blue whispered again after he landed a gentle kiss on the orange temple.
Seeing the orange that never woke up, Blue then went to the bathroom to clean himself and change his clothes with clean clothes.
After finishing cleaning himself in the bathroom, Blue came out with a body that felt fresher, although tired strokes were still visible on his face.
Blue sees Orange still asleep. He frowned in astonishment, usually at this hour the Orange was already awake. He thought, maybe his wife was tired of working to sleep this late.
There was an intention to wake him up, but he didn't feel like it. Finally Blue chose to remain sitting on the edge of the bed while looking at the beautiful face of his wife with a pounding heart.
Always like this. Orange can always make him fall in love at any time.
Soon enough, the orange began to twitch and squirm small. His eyes squinted when he realized the figure he so longed for was in front of him, looking at him with a warm smile expanding on his face.
Orange then closed his eyes, just to make sure he was dreaming or not. However, when he re-opened his eyes, Blue was still there, and he realized that he was not dreaming.
“Kakak. . .” Calling Orange softly, he felt his throat so dry that he had a little trouble letting out his voice.
“August, Dear.” Blue brought his face closer to that of an orange, then kissed his lips at a glance.
The orange gawked slightly surprised, but a second later the corner of his lips was drawn to form a smile.
“You know me, yes?” The orange grabbed the Blue hand to hold it. His face scowled funnyly, making Blue who saw him smile in an uneasy manner.
“Liar surprise.” Blue then kissed the back of the orange hand that was holding his hand.
“Hiish, ngeselin.” Grunts Orange while pursing his lips. Anxious blue saw him, then again landed a brief kiss on the lips of his wife who was slightly dry and pale.
“Are you okay?” Blue asked when she realized the pale face of Orange, as well as her voice that sounded raucous.
The orange shook his head weakly. “Free fever, my body greges-greges, aches all.”
Blue suddenly felt worried, he then checked the body temperature of Orange using his palm. It's a little hot. “From when? Haven't long? How can you not say the same to me?”
Orange shook his head, then spoke weakly. “Free from last night, kok.”
“You should have told me that you were sick. I can go home from yesterday.” Blue Omel worried.
“Yeah I have a fever dikit doang, brother, you are calm aja.” The orange smiled weakly.
Blue snorted, then asked Orange to go back to sleep and not have to go to work. Jinggapun complied because he felt his body was not able to be taken to work, especially if you have to stand for hours in the surgical room.
“Yes already, I made porridge first for you.” Blue went from her seat to the kitchen. Not forgetting he landed a kiss on the hot orange forehead before stepping his feet out of the room.
********
It has been more than an hour Blue struggling in the kitchen, three times he also failed to make the porridge.
The first experiment was too dilute, the second was charred, and the last was too salty to be more suitable for a salt porridge. If it's like this, instead of making the orange better, but it makes it poisoned.
Blue is good at cooking western dishes, especially for breakfast and dinner. But making porridge, this was a first for him. Previously, he thought making porridge was easy because the basic ingredients were only water and rice, but it turned out to be unexpected.
“Bego.” Blue patted the eel as she realized that there was a porridge shop very close to her apartment.
“Why not think to buy, anyway?” Blue is self-defeating. If only he had been sober since then, he probably wouldn't have soiled the kitchen and wasted rice like this.
Cleaning up all the mess in the kitchen, Blue then ran out of the apartment to go to the congee shop. No need to use a car, the distance is only about a hundred meters from his apartment until it can be reached by foot.
Within thirty minutes, Blue returned to the apartment with two packs of porridge in her hands.
“Lho, how did you wake up?” Blue asked as she looked at Orange sitting so close to the dining table.
“I'm thirsty.” Replied Jingga while gulping down the remaining water in her glass that had stopped her drinking.
“You should have called me thirsty, don't wake up.” Blue said worried. The man then took two bowls to prepare his porridge.
Orange noticed Blue moving astutely in the kitchen. “I've called you, but not nyautnyaut. Pass me into the kitchen, uh, you don't exist.”
“Ohh, yes. I forgot, it was out to buy porridge.” Blue chuckled amusedly, then thrusting the bowl of porridge he had prepared at Orange.
“She wants to make her own?” Ask Orange wonder, considering that Blue said she would cook porridge for him.
“There is already a nail.” And Blue is too prestigious to say that she failed to make porridge for Orange.
“What is it?” The orange knits its eyebrows between believing and unbelieving. “Masa, anyway? Is the place safe?”
“Iya. Maybe because it has been left for a long time, it is not cooked either. For ten days, right, you stayed at Dad's house.” Blue gives a reason that is quite reasonable, even the mangosteen understand and do not discuss it anymore.
“Yes, you ate the porridge. Here, I'll use the celery first.” Blue was about to sprinkle celery that he forgot to add when putting a chicken meat topping on top of the porridge belonging to Orange.
“No need, I can't stand the smell.” The orange reflex distanced his bowl of porridge and asked Blue to get rid of the celery.
The man scowled in wonder, but did not bother him much, and immediately threw the celery topping into the trash.
