BLUE PLANET

VENERIAN FEELING

Queen Ishtar was speechless at Venera's reply. The room was silent for a moment, making Venera feel awkward and impassive, whether she had just given the wrong or inappropriate answer.

Then Venera ventured to look up and look at Queen Ishtar's face. He remembered the words of the queen herself when they had just arrived, when he had Venera look him in the face. Queen Ishtar said that it is very important for us to understand the character by looking at the face of our interlocutor.

But the expression on Queen Ishtar's face that he was staring at right now was very difficult to guess. Is he angry, or happy, or sad. But if Venera could conclude a bit, the queen actually looks like.

Suddenly Queen Ishtar smiled. His face changed drastically. And he asked, "You don't like Marxists?"

"Ehm. y. y. yes.." Venera replied nervously, "me..."

Queen Ishtar cupped her hands together on the table, then stared fixedly at Venera.

"Okay, then tell me. What makes you dislike Marxists" Queen Ishtar said.

Venera thought for a moment, a little confused as to how to convey it. Because he himself was confused by how he felt.

"Look, Your Majesty," Venera began. "When I had a disagreement with Vla, my best friend, I didn't feel too angry with her.  And even if we had a fight, only a few moments later we had made up again. Vla is a naggy venusian, likes to advise, always asks about what I do, and often comments on what I do. But he is a very good friend, Your Majesty. He was always worried about me whenever I was late. He also took great care of my health and safety. And that's why I love Vla so much. But with the Marxists.." Venera sighed, "whether when we quarreled, I felt there was... a kind of very strong and explosive urge inside me to vent anger at him. It felt so upset that I wanted to cry or scream. And it went on for days, Your Majesty. So I felt, maybe it was because I had just met a Marxist and had only met him a few times. As for Vla, I've been with her for a long time, so I like Vla a lot and can't be too mad at her. Uh. roughly so, Your Majesty." Venera ended her explanation.

Queen Ishtar was silent again.

Unwilling to be caught in an awkward state of silence, Venera looked up and asked, "Is my answer wrong, Your Majesty?"

And how surprised he was when he looked at the queen.

Queen Ishtar laughed.

He laughed while covering his mouth with his fingers.

Venera. Not expecting Queen Ishtar actually laughed at the answer, as well as amazed to see the laughing face of the queen who was very different from the previous one. Queen Ishtar has many different faces. But she is still the queen. Making Venera confused himself concluded.

"Ehm. I'm sorry, Venera" Queen Ishtar said, with a smile on her face. "I didn't mean to laugh at you."

"Ehm, I'm sorry, Your Majesty, may I know why Your Majesty laughed?" ask Venera carefully. "Did I say something funny?"

"Ah, no, Venera." Queen Ishtar shook her head. "I was actually just laughing at myself. How foolish I am for not understanding your thoughts."

Venera was silent and increasingly did not understand.

“Well, before I respond to your explanation earlier, Venera, can you tell me what about your health condition lately?” ask Queen Ishtar.

Once again Venera was shocked. He had almost forgotten about his poor health lately, if only the queen had not asked him. And from the gaze of her blue eyes, it seemed that Queen Ishtar already knew about this, only she wanted Venera to explain it herself.

And Venera realized that he had just guessed the heart of Queen Ishtar, whether it was right or wrong. It turned out that it was true what the queen said, that staring at the face while talking was necessary.

“Ehmm... me.. these few days.. often... often feel... not feeling well, Your Majesty...,” replied Venera stammered. He realized that he had made a mistake because he did not come directly to the Health Room, as venusian should do when feeling unwell.

"Not feeling well like what, for example?" ask Queen Ishtar.

"Ehmm, it's hard to explain, Your Majesty. The unpleasant taste alternated at all times," Venera replied in confusion.

Venera thought for a moment.

"Initially, in the abdomen, Your Majesty. Here." He touched his upper stomach.

“Hmm. Does it feel like there's a living thing moving around in there?” ask the queen.

“Eh? B... That's right, Your Highness,” Venera replied in amazement, because the queen could explain it properly.

"Then, what else?" ask Queen Ishtar.

"Here, Your Majesty," Venera touched his chest. "Sometimes the pain gets here and here." Venera continued by touching the base of his throat and head.

"Your heart beats too fast, and then there's a sense of pressure on the base of your throat that feels like you're about to pop out your bowels, and your head beats to the rhythm of your heartbeat?" Queen Ishtar described what Venera had said.

"B. right, Your Majesty." Again Venera nodded in amazement.

“And your blood feels like it's rushing all over the body?” queen Ishtar.

“True, Your Majesty," Venera replied again, not ceasing to be astonished because the queen described exactly what she felt.

"You've also felt a time when your body is constantly limp, not appetite, and become lazy to do any activities that you used to love?" queen Ishtar said.

Venera nodded. "That's right, Your Majesty."

"Then, your brain becomes unable to think clearly, and your body does not want to follow the orders of your brain?” Queen Ishtar inexhaustibly mentioned exactly what Venera was feeling.

“Yes, Your Honor.  Everything's true. Is... is it all dangerous for me?” venera asked with an anxious face.

A smile rose on the lips of Queen Ishtar.

“No, son.  Not at all. Instead, what you feel is a natural thing," he said.

“Korazar? What does His Majesty mean by reasonable?” Venera shook her head not understanding. “But all this time I have never felt anything like this, Your Majesty.”

“Of course, Venera. Because you're the first Venusian to feel it" said the queen.

“What?" Venera turns back not understanding. "I? The first Venusian to experience ... this thing?”

"Yes, Venera," the queen nodded.

"But why Your Majesty? What cause? Why me?" ask Venera.

Queen Ishtar smiled again, then looked at Venera deeply.

"What do you feel this is, Venera, named by ‘Cinta’.”
