Meet (2)

Green had returned to her home after a lot of family drama, Langit took her home and explained to her that he was sorry for the misunderstanding, and what he said was still in her mind.

"Green, I know you're feeling uncomfortable. But thank you for taking my mom so well. I'm sorry for all the misunderstandings, I didn't mean to drag you into my mess."

 "I hope this is the last, I don't want to be involved anymore."

 "I promise this is the last one, I do apologize for this."

After that both Green and Langit were just silent, both focused on each other's thoughts until the bike of Langit stopped right in front of Green's house. Yeah, Langit drop her by his bike, so he knew where Green's house was.

 Before Green came home, absolutely Kalila brought her all sorts of food, Kalila even asked Langit to drop Green until the door of her house, invorder to be safe. It's also the reason Langit drove Green on his big abandoned bike. This was the first time Green had been treated special by someone other than his mother and Alta, and before this she didn't know too many people.

Green recovered her memory from her conversation with Kalila before she was dropped home by Langit.

 "Honey, you should know. I don't give a shit about your background, I'm so convinced of my son's choice, and I believe in him, and I believe in you too."

 "Bun, but Green and brother Langit are like ..."

 "Darling, you and Langit fit each other in my opinion, I wish you could be together till the end of the day."

 "Brother Langit is too perfect for an ordinary Green, Bun."

Yeah, well, that's what Green thought about Langit, the guy's just too perfect for her ordinary self. Why not, Langit has a glorious career and achievements, his life was settled, he is handsome, and his family was still there all and harmonious. As for her? was very contradictive with her, but from all the reasons above, there should be underline one, she wasn't  interested in Langit at all, she knew him only as a lecturer and an elder brother of Cherry, that's all.

"Trust me, you'll be human completed each other then."

 "I'm sorry if Green was so brave, but how could you be so sure?"

 "A mother's feeling is strong, baby."

'Tok tok tok' Green came out of her daydreaming as she heard the sound of someone's knocking the door, Green was trying to remember whether she had an appointment with someone today, but she didn't. Then who's the guest? To settle her curiosity, Green immediately went to the living room to see who was coming.

 "A moment..," she said whe the sound of it came twice.

 How surprised Green knowing that the guest was Alta, her beloved. Alta smiled warmly as he presented Green a red rose, all of a sudden, Green looked down at Alta closely, she was afraid what exist now was just her illution because she was missing Alta very much.

"Hey, what's wrong?" asked Alta as he shook his fingers in front of Green's eyes.

 "I didn't see anything wrong, did I? That's really you, isn't it?"

 Alta nodded, he could see the yearning look of Green's eyes, the eyes that had been his favorite and that used to make him fall in love every day, and the ones that would soon cry over him.

 Instantly, Green felt upon Alta, dropping her head on his deep wide chest, sobbing her eyes out. "Why are you so mean?" asked Green.

"I'm sorry, honey, I've been so busy lately, these are for you" Alta said, stroking Green's long hair and embracing her back, and he didn't forget giving  her girlfriend a red rose.

 Green received the rose, sniffed it for a moment and then looked up at Alta's face which was higher than hers. "I know you're busy, but can't spare two seconds of your time just for contacting or whatever we name it, I'm worried about you, I'm thinking of you all the time." Green ruffled her lips in exasperation, cause she hadn't heard from him for days.

It was always been what Alta missed the most, an adorable Green expression anda warm look, and Alta was so happy still being given the opportunity to see it all to this day.

 "Again, I'm sorry, I'll try to always contact  you in the future."

 "Promise?"

 "Sure, I promise you."

 Green smiled then returned to Alta's embrace. "Thanks for the flowers, I love them."

"You're welcome dear, Won't you let me in? I was tired," he teased as he pinched Green's nose.

 "No, stay outside please, you're a bad guy," Green said, crossing her arms in front of her chest.

 "Seriously, no coming in, then I'll be back home." Alta deliberately seduced Green by pretending to leave the house, Green immediately reacted, hugging Alta from behind tightly.

"No, you shouldn't back home, come on in," Green said with a spoiled voice.

 Alta smiled bitterly, behind Green's back hugging her waist so tightly as not to let her go anywhere, while himself? Ah, let it flowed, Alta felt bad remembering that. Alta chose to forget for a while, and turned his back on Green, giving her the warmth that Green desperately needed.

 "So, can I come in?"

 "Of course, this way"

Green opened the door and let Alta to her house, the house was just the same as usual, still the same as Alta's last visit. But, this time, however, Alta saw several packages of food that were still carefully wrapped.

 "Where were you?" asked Alta, who saw the parcel.

 "No, I was here" Green answered as she sat on Alta's shoulders.

 "What are that?" Alta pointed to the parcel.

Green's gaze was on the parcel, and her countenance immediately changed. Alta saw that, before Alta asked her  further, she immediately neutralized her expression.

 "Ah, that's all from a friend."

 "Who?" Alta looked curious, he was waiting for Green's answer.

 "My college friend."

 "What college friend?"

 "Her name is Cherry."

"I didn't realize you had a friend named Cherry. You wouldn't lie, would you?" asked Alta with a probing gaze.

 "I'm not lying, Al, Cherry who her parents in Bandung, visiting Jakarta today, That's all a gift from her parents."

 Green tried to explain it calmly, hoping that Alta wouldn't ask any further questions because she wasn't ready to tell him about Langit. She wanted to spent the time with Alta because sehe had already missed him so much, it was more important than discussing the figure of another man.

"Green, is there another man trying to get closer to you?"

 'Deg' Alta's question made her silence for a moment, wondering whether to explain the real incident or to keep it a secret for a while. After took a quickly thouhgt, Green chose a second option, because what Langit acted not exactly approaching, considering the man never said anything, even at their last meeting Langit said would never involve her again. Then after today, she didn't have to be in contact with Langit anymore, did her? Yeah, you it should be like that. So it didn't matter if she didn't tell Alta the truth, she didn't lie to him either.

"No Al, I just focus on college and work. I want to graduate quickly so that I can come with you to Jogja." Green eyes sparkled when she said that, imagining Alta and herself in the same city and breathing the same air was enough to make her happy.

 "Do you still love me?" Alta asked suddenly.

 "I've always love you, are you doubt?" Green asked, staring Alta right in the man's bead.

"I feel there's another man trying to get closer to you."

 "It's just your bad feeling Al, and even it's true, I don't want to, I just want you."

 Alta looked for the truth from Green's eyes, and then he held Green tight. His true intention coming to end the relationship finally postponed, In fact, it wasn't that easy to let Green go. For now Alta has chosen to be selfish, unwilling to let her go but unable to make Green his only one.

"I miss you soooo bad" said Alta softly.

 "So do I."

 They hugged each other so tightly then, Green didn't realize that behind the happiness she was now there is a woud waiting for her.

 A pair of eyes stared at them with a gaze that was hard to define. Sad, disappointed, hopeless, all in one. He went away, giving space to the couple who were  expressing their missing feeling.
