BLUE METAVERSE

WRONGFULLY

Kikan took Blue out of the room. The girl's body was stiff. Up to 10 minutes on the veranda of the villa he still did not want to talk. The mosquitoes that surround it are not ignored even though Kikan is busy applying anti-mosquito lotion on the exposed body parts.

“Bi, why are you? Why are you angry with your own nephew? This afternoon was angry with Faiz and Amar. Now you make Fathia cry. You're what's wrong? I'm confused as to why you're suddenly so grumpy like this.” Kikan nodded with many questions.

Why yes? Blue doesn't fully understand his own feelings. He just felt depressed and unappreciated by his nephews. Supposedly a vacation with his friends and nephew made him happy. Holidays together like this that he had long taken. Zonk. He could not enjoy this holiday because of the strict rules of his powerful nephew. Cook as an aunt he should be oppressed and bear shame in the presence of his friends.

“Bi, you realize that what you did today is not the usual Blue behavior I know. You why? Possession huh? PMS?”

Blue is still silent. His eyes looked at Kikan with an inexplicable highlight of its meaning.

“Do I need to call Amar to crush you?”

Is Blue really possessed? Oh, naw. The possessed person must have no control over himself. Blue is just confused and feeling depressed. Not knowing what to do so as not to lose his prestige in front of his friends. Amar and Faiz could not cooperate at all. Why the hell disallow punishment for happiness together should not be able. It's vacation. Not military education. There is no punishment when on vacation.

“Bi..”

Slowly Blue tries to develop a smile and takes a slightly longer breath. The sound of river currents and night animals muffled a night song that remained shahdu-tone.

"Do you think I'm going too far?"

"It's a habit."

"My niece is not the same as me."

"You just don't understand each other yet, Bi."

"They never understood me, Ki. In the presence of my friends I still have to be treated as a person without dignity. I am worthless. Since childhood my life depends on the kindness of their parents. That's why they feel they have the right to dominate me."

"It's not. They love you, just a way of expressing unfortunately may be different to what you want."

Did ya?

"I think they're fair. No need to exaggerate the problem. We're going here for a vacation. We should all be happy."

It should be like that.

"Smile dong, Bi! We still respect you."

There was a line of smiles starting to appear with smiles and respect sentences expressed by Kikan.

"Thank you, Ki."

Kikan.

"Do you have any problem with Fathia to act as rude as before?" ask Kikan in a slow and careful voice.

Blue bowed. He began to slightly understand the root of the problem enveloping his heart. It all started from the envy that suddenly came to see Fathia's smile. “Sorry, Ki. I should have been more in control. I don't have any problems with Fathia. I just envy her. I don't know why I feel like he's always been luckier than me. She's beautiful and loved by many."

Kikan had no words to persuade Blue. Baffled. He had no idea what the real problem was between them. Before the arrival of Rio and Doni, Blue looks familiar with Fathia.

“Front road yuk!”

“Ngapain?”

“Search for the same chocolate that Doni gave earlier.”

“I'm not envious because she was given chocolate, Ki.”

“I want to eat chocolate.” replied Kikan casually.

“Yuk.” Kikan embraced Blue's shoulder and guided her to stand up.

Blue forced to follow Kikan's steps to the front lobby where there is a mini market and souvenir shop. Light yellow lights decorate the road with its dim light. While the sky is visible

“Hopefully in the souvenir shop there is a sling bag. It can't be the same as Fathia's, but at least if we try to give her a replacement, it might be a bit of a cure for her grief. Whatever you did hurt her feelings, Bi.”

Blue nodded. Kikan was right, he regretted that shameful impulsive act. Really am. He didn't mean to hurt Fathia at all. He's completely innocent. His fate was not much different from his.

In the lobby is still crowded because many people are still chatting in cafes while smoking and drinking drinks that warm the body. There were also some guests who had just arrived. Kikan and Biru went to the mini market to take chocolate and 2 packs of cassava chips and then ordered a warm drink of ready-to-eat packaging brewed with hot water provided by the mini market.

“What do you want to order, Bi? Warm brown or bandrek?”

“Brown.”

After the waiter finished concocting the ordered drinks, the two brought the drinks and food to the table and chairs available in front of the mini market. Inadvertently his eyes saw Rio and Doni sitting on one of the chairs on his desk there was a white emergency incandescent lamp. Both of them looked serious about doing something.

“You joined them?” ask Kikan.

Blue looks in a different direction. “Neg. They must be busy working on that weird punishment.”

“Question weird?”

“Iya.”

“That you protested this afternoon?”

“Hem.” Kikan could not comment. For him the punishment is quite ordinary, even increasing knowledge that those who live it can take the positive side. But he did not want to refute Blue's opinion because he did not want to make Blue feel worse. Kikan believes the moment Blue needs is a friend who supports him.

Kikan let Blue sit in his place, while he approached Doni and Rio. Wonder what exactly happened between the four of them: Blue, Fathia, Rio and Doni. He did not want this problem to continue to contaminate the happiness of their vacation.

“Hai, What are you doing?”

“Ngerjain PR.” Doni replied with a smile.

“Seriously bang.”

“Casual kok, Ki. Not long after it's done.”

“Really?"

Doni turned to the right and to the left before saying slowly, “We can task to find the equivalent of the apology of 1000 languages. Fathia has helped us find an apology equivalent from 700s foreign languages. We live to complete it from regional languages and other foreign languages. If you need to speak the language of planet.” Doni chuckles. While Rio smiled knot while continuing his activity looking for the equivalent of apologies from various languages through the google search engine.

Kikan smile. He immediately concluded that Fathia had deliberately not participated in team building activities to help them carry out their punishment. Both guys were very helpful. They don't have to overtime last night to look for him.

“So that's why you gave him chocolate earlier?”

Doni smiled back. “Kok know that I love him chocolate?”

“There was a misunderstanding in the girl's room because you were giving Fathia chocolate.”

The two men were staring. Why should I misunderstand?

"The four of you actually have a problem what the hell?"

"There's no problem, Ki. We're fine-fine. His task is also almost done." replied Rio who was hounded by Doni.

Hem. They did not look burdened with the punishment that Blue considered too heavy. Fathia is like that too. Meaning blue who was mistaken for being preoccupied with his own thinking that punishment was too difficult. Ouch, Blue. They were not told to build 1000 temples like the request of Roro Jonggrang on Bandung Bondowoso. They can search for the equivalent of an apology in 1000 languages in search engines. The punishment is not severe when it is carried out, Bi. Look at! By not complaining and shoulder to shoulder they felt the punishment was light.

"Continue again. I'm going to the souvenir shop for a minute."

Kikan stopped by the souvenir shop before returning to Blue and explained the misunderstanding that occurred in Blue's mind that was ruining his own mood.
