AMONG HIM
Ocean Blue
24 Months passed...
Shadow is 25 years old. The day after celebrating his quarter-century birthday he got his first Oscar
the Best Director. The highest award in Shadow's career led to overnight fame. The moment was witnessed directly by his three parents and his sister. Just family.
Shadow has not been in a romantic relationship after Alexandre's presence. The actor is still single despite being separated from the woman who gave him a son.
In fact, in 2 years Alexandre still trying to win the heart of Shadow, many times the beautiful director had to reject a scenario that made him have to work with the actor. Shadow chose to stay away, though he had to receive dozens of messages from Alexandre every day.
Shadow did not have time for a romantic relationship. A month ago he must inevitably accept the decision of the father who asked him to rest from work. Liam stopped giving the project
the film to his son, for 2 years Shadow did not stop working. 70 percent of the young girl's life was exhausted on the set, very worrying for parents.
During the holidays that Shadow does not yet know when it will end. The beautiful director spent “me time” like a girl his age. Watch movies in the apartment, care Hollywood celebrities, visit the gallery
done together with his parents.
That day Shadow called the mother to return home, they will have lunch with the menu of Indonesian cuisine. Of course Shadow is excited if his parents cook his favorite food, spicy curry.
Shadow carved a smile as he looked at the tall figure standing on the veranda, Liam had been waiting for his arrival.
“Dad.” exclaim Shadow when getting off the car. He rushed to his father. They still met two days ago but level
the possessive middle-aged man was extremely tall. Liam hugged his daughter tightly then
showering her a kiss on the cheek.
“Papa and your mother inside, those who cook today. But it's all done.” Liam embraces Shadow. The two walked into the bone-white painted house.
“Mother.” Shadow breaks free from Liam's embrace and embraces Dee, his mother. Fragrance perfume mixed with spices cuisine out in
shadow's senses made him smile widely.
Dee cupped Shadow's face, the mother's black bead in tears.
“Mother, what's up ?” shadow asked, worried about his mother's sad look.
Ricchi approached the mother and child.
“Honey, we'll talk later. Shadow must have skipped breakfast to eat your cooking.” Ricci patted Dee on the back slowly.
Dee nodded and turned to look at Ricchi, Liam grabbed Shadow's fingers leading his son to the dining table.
Shadow watched his parents' behavior during lunch, no one opened a conversation and he did not dare to start. Even to praise the mother's cooking was undone by Shadow.
After 15 minutes in an awkward situation at the dining table, Shadow was then led by Ricchi towards the living room sofa. Shadow's face was filled with question marks, he looked at Ricchi who was smiling faintly.
“Nothing, my girl.” Ricchi's words calmed Shadow's worry
“But pa, mother to tears saw me. Did I make a mistake ?” tanya Shadow sat her body on the sofa. Ricchi too
sitting next to him, the middle-aged man glimpsed his head towards Liam and Dee walking side by side.
Shadow's hand held by Ricchi held back so that he did not move much agitatedly, waiting for what one of the people would say
olden.
“Shadow, actually what we want to say is not directly related to you, son. But this has to do with our extended family.” Liam started the conversation, he exchanged glances with Ricchi but the man beside Shadow gave a gesture to continue his words.
“You're good friends with Richard, not ?” liam asked, staring at Shadow, still looking confused
Firstborn Liam spontaneously nodded “Yes, we are good friends. It's just not intensely communicating, I know for myself if Shadow is very busy.”
Dee and Liam smiled wryly with the innocence of her daughter's answer.
“Richard will be our family, son.” Liam spoke and saw Shadow's body jolted in shock
“Hah ? What ?”
Ricchi stroked Shadow's back, his papa obeying Liam's words.
“Your sister Sunshine is getting married to Richard.” Imbuh Ricchi
As Dee sobbed, Shadow furrowed her eyebrows at Ricchi, needing an explanation for her attitude. As Shadow knew, the mother was a very rare woman to cry, well maybe a few times and last when she got her Oscar. But it was a happy cry, though,
not the sad cry that was plastered in front of Shadow.
“Sunshine pregnant.” Ricchi's murmur made Dee's cry even bigger. The middle-aged woman was held in Liam's arms
While Shadow was surprised by Ricchi's words, he began to tear up.
“Pa, this is a lie not ?”
“Not at all, my girl. Your sister's been pregnant for 2 months. Just yesterday she and Richard came to us. They will marry, even if they are not
engage in. Dee was very sad because it was so sudden and your mother
more want you to get married first.” Obviously Ricchi while wiping the clear liquid that fell on the brown cheek of the child
Shadow's lips bent down, then directed a glance at Dee and Liam. He then stood up and ran into his mother's arms.
“Excuse your sister, son.” Said Dee in a hoarse voice. Her daughter hugged tightly with a slow sob.
“Nothing to forgive, ma'am. Sunshine has nothing wrong.”
Dee stroked Shadow's curls “But we all know if you like Richard, son. Time and again she advised Sunshine to focus on her career instead of her romantic life with Richard.”
“Bu, I don't have any feelings for Richard. We were just friends, friends from college. Don't think Shadow, we really have nothing to do. Last Richard sent a message when he won the Oscar.”
Liam took a deep breath staring at Dee and Shadow “We were afraid that your sister's wedding would make you recall the feelings with
Richard.” Speak it carefully
Shadow shook his head firmly “Dad, please. To me there's no Richard anymore, it's just an old story. Shadow does not date because of busyness, there is no time to make yourself happy let alone others. “ said to reason, although very surprised by the news he heard but Shadow was honest about his feelings. Richard had no special place in his heart, purely as a friend and in the future as a sister-in-law.
…
Sunshine's wedding day takes place a month after Shadow's last conversation with her parents, all planned in advance
abrupt. There are things that need to be covered quickly so that the disgrace of their family does not become a public meal. Sunshine's pregnancy has not shown any signs of pregnancy, probably because his sister has a beautiful body. Not yet bloated more towards the body that contains sexy nan.
Sunshine is very beautiful in a white wedding dress, very fitting with that beautiful body. Unceasingly Richard looked at the wife in awe, it also made Shadow breathe a sigh of relief to see the couple
happy that an hour ago made a promise of life and faith.
His parents seem very happy, though Shadow knows Dee's mother is saddened by Sunshine's marriage. His youngest child is still 22 years old, that makes Dee not fully sincerely release Sunshine. Liam and Ricchi kept asking Dee to accept Sunshine
first married over Shadow.
The girl wearing a beige dress walked away from the large ballroom that could accommodate thousands of invited guests. Shadow felt that no one needed his presence in the room. His parents are more
many talk with guests and family, even Sunshine with his colleagues who deliberately fly to attend a wedding on the island of the gods.
Shadow crossed the pool and was about to walk down the rocky road but someone pulled his hand.
“Rich !” shadow screeched as the man wore a black tuxedo and the white shirt took him to the garden area, not towards the iron bench
carved but docked on a green fence plant as high as an adult's chest.
Richard had noticed the situation around before he looked at Shadow.
“Shadow...” he said slowly then lowered his head. His hand was still reluctant to let go of the wrist of the girl who was so very beautiful in his eyes. Even more than Sunshine, his wife who appeared perfect.
“What's up?” tanya Shadow caught Richard's very different attitude while inside the ballroom
Plaque !
Shadow slapped Richard's cheek hard. His gleaming brown bead stared intently at the wistful Richard. That tall and burly man
not complaining of pain at all while the former slap is flushed on the cheek.
“What do you mean, Rich !” Snap Shadow in high notes
“Sshhh.” Richard gestured for Shadow to calm down
“I'm sorry, Shadow. But seeing you since morning, made me even more unsure of my marriage to Sunny. Our relationship has actually stretched over the last 6 months. But the news that Sunny's pregnant makes me responsible. I was wrong to have had such an intimate relationship with Sunshine.”
Jaw Shadow hardened “That's a risk you have to bear, Rich ! I don't care if you're not sure about this marriage, but I
it would kill you if it hurt my sister ! Dad and papa too! Sunshine is pregnant with your child.”
Richard dropped tears, very weak for the burly man.
“Shadow, I love you. There was only you long ago. I do like Sunny, but my feelings.”
“No ! stop saying that, Rich. I don't want to
hearing that, to me you are my sister's husband. Please go back to the ballroom, Sunshine must be looking for you. Everyone's looking for you.” Pinta Shadow while removing the hand from Richard's grasp
“Shadow, please. You're my only friend.”
Shadow grunts rough “Also my sister-in-law. Sorry I have to go.” He said firmly, turning around and walking half-running past
the garden, tall palm trees and green grass were neatly cut off.
Shadow removed her heels as her feet reached the soft white sand. The blue ocean with the sun slightly leaning towards the west made his wheezing breath slightly relieved. The girl in a foot dress just threw her body on the sand, for a moment she took a deep breath before long Shadow sobbed.
His body shook sobbing painfully, Richard's words shook Shadow's feelings.
“Damn you, Richard !” he looked ahead
Shadow took a seat a bit away from the hotel cafe, tending to pull over and no passing in front of him. Just wind
blow and pound the waves slowly become friends of the Shadow.
“Hei.” A low and deep voice made Shadow look up. The figure of the black-tweeted man holding out a blue-colored handkerchief.
“I don't need !” refuse Shadow after choosing to wipe the tears with the bottom of her dress.
The tall man did not seem to understand Shadow's refusal, and instead sat down next to him.
“You're funny.” Chuckle at the foreign man who kept staring at Shadow.
The laughing girl stared intently at the man's face, handsome but nothing had upset him.
“Try here.” Without approval the man immediately held Shadow's right cheek, while the other long fingers rubbed slowly
at the bottom of the eye using a handkerchief of masculine, citrus, woody
and the floral blends in with the perfect combination.
Shadow did not dwell on the dominance of the foreign man. Instead of throwing a protest even silent a thousand languages while staring at a pair of beads
blue from a face that looks very serious with his work.
“Your army melted on the cheek. You're like a ghost with a face like this. Isn't it now time to use water repellent mascara?”
the low muttering sound made Shadow crumble
“I was dressed by makeup artist.” Shadow Sahut
A slanted but beautiful smile was plastered on the face of the man she was suddenly familiar with “Oh, so not yours. It's only natural that tears make you look terrible. Finish.” The thrill of releasing his hand on Shadow's face
“Thank you.” Shadow's great-grandson was clumsy, he turned his face back to the front, at the choppy blue of the sea
The foreign man chuckled small “Are you in a relationship with that man earlier ? The bride ?”
“What !” shadows exclaimed round his eyes looking at the man who was carving a mocking smile
The sound of laughter is getting bigger “I see you, your voice is very big for couples who are cheating.”
Shadow's hand was about to hit but he was held “ We didn't cheat, he's my sister's husband.” Light without being asked
The foreign man heaved a sigh of relief “Thank God. Because that man is unfit for you to cry.”
Shadow grimacing “Richard is very annoying. We were friends since college, he was my first love but not once were we
dating, even choosing my sister Sunshine. At her wedding she said she was unsure and loved me. Fuck isn't ?”
The man laughed loudly until he held his stomach, Shadow also gave a light punch to the sturdy arm next to him.
“This is not something funny !”
The man heard Shadow protest, the blue bead gnashed with plump eyelashes “All right I stop. What's your name ?” ask without further ado
Shadow snatches pissed “Ophelia Shadow Farubun. You can call me Shadow.”
“You're cool, Shadow. Shadowless. That's why that guy can't let you go. Because you keep shadowing her life.”
Shadow screeched harshly, for some reason with a man she did not know she could show the other side of him.
“Forget. I don't want to talk about Richard anymore.”
“Alright, but you're lucky not to be with him. The man is not too handsome.” The blue man's voice held back a laugh
Shadow instead of angry but chuckling laughs “So Richard is not handsome ?”
“Huum.” The man nodded and chuckled “I'm much more handsome than your sister's husband.”
Girl decomposing black stopped the laughter and stared fixedly at the owner of the face who admitted its advantages “Ya. You're more handsome but
annoying at once. Have very high self-confidence. Yes, I admit your eyes are as beautiful as the ocean ahead. Blue.” Shadow then snorted lightly. His lips pouted because it said an honesty that
later regretted.
“Like ocean ?”
Shadow throbbed then nodded weakly.
The man raises his shoulders, lips stump a smile “As per my name, sea.”
Shadow rounding eyes “So your name is sea ? hahaa. funny.”.
Headband of masculine scented man “Sea in Japanese. Real name, Kai. Kai Navarro.”
