Brother Gemes

Tera Request

A week passed after they failed to watch a movie in the cinema. Tera often Noa pergoki is daydreaming. Tera was more silent.

Every time Noa asked, Tera always dodged with many reasons. Whether it's tired, sleepy or dizzy. A very made up reason.

As at this time, Tera was sitting on the floor with her hands propping up her chin and playing a pen, her schoolwork she neglected for the daydreams that Noa did not know what caused.

Noa. 'I was wrong. Or he wants something he can't tell me. I must have been confused and surprised by his attitude the past week. We just explored this relationship. The early stages are in dire need of adaptation. I'm afraid he's uncomfortable with me.'

Because Noa could not stand still seeing this peculiarity, she approached Tera and sat down beside her. It's been quite a week Noa is patient to face this oddity. He embraces Tera's shoulder, it has made Tera surprised, his eyes rounded when he looked at Noa's face.

"There problem? I've been watching this week since we got home from the movies, you've been daydreaming a lot" Noa said.

Tera simply shook her head with a look of a face that was back to how it was. Flat.

"I'm wrong with you?" ask Noa.

Tera shook her head again in answer to Noa's question, her worry.

"Do you feel uncomfortable with me, with this relationship?" whispered Noa in front of that flat face.

Tera nodded back. Long ago, he looked at Noa's face. His hands moved, wanting to hug Noa.

"I don't want to break up." said Tera.

Noa knitted her eyebrows, she was confused. Sure oes. He never thought Tera could say that sentence.

"Why should, hem? I have no intention of killing you." said Noa.

Tera took off her embrace. He looked back at Noa's face and cupped his hands on Noa's cheeks. Tera was shaking her lips.

"Hm, why?"

Noa cupped his hands back on the cheek that now contained it. Tera shook her head slowly.

"--sure?" asked Noa who noticed Tera clingy. Tera nodded still with her frown.

"---smile. Gini nih" said Noa who moved both thumbs to pull the two ends of the tiny lips.

Tera now smiles artificially, not naturally. It makes her face even more adorable.

Tera pinched both of Noa's cheeks violently making Noa complain. But the result is that Tera returns to smiling. Not just smiling, he was laughing.

Anxious to see it, Noa pinched gently on Tera's cheek. He brings the face closer to the cheek that contains and kisses it dear.

"Don't daydream anymore" said Noa while stroking Tera's hair with affection.

"-want me to buy you something?"

"Hem, I don't want anything." replied Tera.

"Why dream? I guess someone wants you to buy sampe in that daydream. I asked if there was a problem or not, you answered her with a head bobble." said Noa at length.

"Fear broken.." whispered Tera.

He lowered. Playing the end of his shirt. There was something he was hiding from Noa. He always cut off eye contact, avoid like he wanted to cover something and Noa should not know that.

Noa raised Tera's face so Tera looked up.

"Close here. I'm talking to you again. Don't duck, I can't see the sweetness of you."

Tera was about to hug Noa again but Noa resisted the movement. Noa stared at him intensely without blinking. Tera looked a little scared and cut off eye contact by turning the other way.

Noa feels Tera is dishonest, there is something she is hiding and Noa does not like it. Better to be honest even if it hurts. He had to get Tera to speak, giving a reason for her drastic change of attitude this week.

Noa led Tera to look before her with a pinch on her chin.

"Why?" tanya Noa was full of emphasis.

His eyes were glazed over, tears still unstoppable yet wanting to drip. Tera fear.

Noa kept looking at him asking for a definite answer. It gave a sharp eye highlight that made Tera's body tremble. His lips trembled and tears flowed swiftly. Tera sobbed still with her forced face looking up to look at Noa.

Her crying is becoming more and more. Tera wants to turn back, but Noa again forces Tera to keep seeing him.

"Why?"

The same question with full emphasis is re-spoken.

"Gapapa.." said Tera.

"Boong. Why?" force Noa.

Tera shook her head slowly while sobbing.

"Father..no..."

"You're not being honest, I broke you up. Wanna?" noa's threat.

Streams of tears flooded her sweet face. Moisten the cheeks that always blush the natural red.

As he pleased, he returned to shake. Refusing to speak the truth.

"So want me to break up, hem?" whispered Noa with the tip of their nose touching.

"No. I don't want to." said Tera.

His voice was almost inaudible. His crying became more and more clear.

The hand trembled as it covered her lips, trying to block her sobs. He looked down when he realized Noa was looking at him sharply. All Noa did was stand in front and keep watching the one crying.

Noa crouched down in front of Tera. Tera's hand grabbed Noa's shoulder asking for a hug. But Noa brushed it off rudely.

The crying broke back. His voice was hoarse, a roaring cry that scratched Noa's heart.

Unable to see it, Noa hugged him tightly. He sat down, feeling stupid for what hurt him.

Noa stroked Tera's back gently. Give tranquility. The crying slowly subsided. The issue grew slower and slowly disappeared.

Tera hugged Noa without a sound. Back, Noa stroked Tera's back and back.

"The owner of the blue rose" said Tera who expressed her desire.

"Yes. I'll buy it." whispered Noa still stroking Tera's back.

"Every day buy it."

Tera took off her embrace. He looked at Noa's face.

Plastered in front of Noa, a sweet face, red cheeks and eyes that give a hopeful look.

"Yes.sorry about that..."

Noa kissed Tera's cheeks that were still wet with tears. He rubbed off on the traces of the mistakes he made. Noa cleaned up any tears she wouldn't let dry there.

"It's nothing you said to me. Be open, do not make me like a display that is usually only cem only and you only look at it." said Noa softly.

Tera nodded in understanding. That was more than enough in response to him at this moment.

Noa remembered something. The mobile number of the florist, one of which has a stock of various flowers every day. Hope there will always be available and provide blue roses.

Noa called the phone number. He mentioned the desired order. The owner of the flower shop accepted it. Noa ordered three florets daily and requested morning delivery.

Why three?

Just wanted to remind him that date three he started a relationship with Tera and had a new status. Her dream is achieved to date Tera. To remind him every month that when he passes the third, that he will always stick with this relationship, find the third date with the relationship that is still connected.

Every time he passes the third date, he wants this relationship to stay connected until he finds the same date every month and so on. Throughout their lives. As long as the breath is still blowing. As long as the nose can breathe air. The heart beats, it pumps blood there and there's a beating for it.

The beautiful morning is over again. One week after Tera decided to stay with Noa, Tera made Noa's days more colorful.

Noa saw Tera open her eyes this morning, a pair of beautiful eyes and perfectly round black like baby's eyes, lentic lashes gently puffing trying to remove the remaining bit of drowsiness.

Tera smiled for the first one this morning that she showed just to Noa.

"For her boyfriend I.." said Tera slowly.

He covered his face with his palm. The flushed face of shame was seductive.

Noa opened the hand that covered the beauty this morning. Tera looked at Noa with a stifled smile. Noa kissed those shy lips carving that smile. Many times until Tera finally could no longer hold back her smile. Tera chuckled as Noa teased her again and again.

"iih, it's still dawn." Tera said as she looked at the wall clock.

"--bobo again ah..gagging you, maen enter my room."

"Ck, can't. Talk to me." said Noa who could not be denied.

The knock on the door resuscitated Noa, reminiscent of her flower order. Leaving Tera still lying down, Noa opened the front door and picked up the flowers stored on the boarding terrace table.

Noa returned to the room with flowers for her beloved. Tera got up and sat down to see something she liked this morning.

"Your flower is noble" said Noa gently behaving like a knight before the princess.

"Hehe..gulf..."

Tera received the flower, her three blue rosebuds. He breathed in the smell and smiled. Noa hugged at Tera's request. A wish that must be fulfilled.

"The empress is I'm not smiling?" whispered Noa in the arms.

"Seneng.." whispered Tera.

"Tomorrow there will be more flowers for you. Every day there will be flowers that you receive." said Noa who got a nod from Tera.

"I won't get rid of flowers every day from you" said Tera, who smiled broadly as she clutched her flowers.

"Hm, whatever the baby.whatever you are happy.." said Noa who hugged Tera even tighter. A loving hug full of warmth.

Noa is at Dimas' house, of course Tera is coming. He slept on his thigh. Completely asleep, in the middle of the noise made two friends of Noa. Tera is not at all disturbed.

Two friends of Noa increasingly aggressively harassed Tera. Intentionally woke him up. They don't know if Tera who sleeps in this style on Noa's thigh, won't want to wake up even if a tsunami sweeps them before he's full of sleep. Sometimes, Noa tingles and cramps. But Noa put up with it for the sake of uninterrupted sleep Tera.

"Whispering, puffiness." Noa grumbled.

Dimas's getting berserk, like a possessed man. Ringing the furniture near Tera who was bobo sweet.

"So he didn't wake up."

Ahmad began to show a surrender face.

"Ah, ngebo it's her."

Dimas roared and sat on the floor near Noa.

"Lagian lo both craft very disturbing people sleep." Noa said.

They grin wide.

"Your daughter, lo...?" ahmad said to Dimas who put a flat face and then Dimas presented the lot in Ahmad's head.

"Lo too, right...?" said Dimas.

Ahmad grinned widely and nodded in spirit confirming Dimas' speech.

"This is how the princess sleeps, use the way the prince in the fairy tale book" said Noa and he began to kiss the lips of the old Tera to make the eyes slowly open.

"---uh, look at it. Not cape as you guys, the effect is even good."

Yeah, besides he woke up wanting to. And the sleepiness that is completely gone. Tera will wake up when kissed on the lips. A kiss can make his sleepiness completely disappear impromptu.

Dimas and Ahmad were stunned. Glared with his mouth slightly open.

"Lo's drooling, ''" said Noa flicking a finger rattling them from astonishment.

"Euh, the mess scene is on sensor dong" Dimas said.

"It's not a movie, oy" said Noa cuek.

Ahmad ngesot approached Noa. "Teach me to conquer the human heart dong."

Noa put on a flat face. "Lo usually conquers chicken hearts?"

Ahmad nyengir wide. "Snake dong."

"By the way, you guys wanna watch?" the word Dimas made Ahmad turn away from Noa.

"What's? Not that movie, is it?" said Ahmad.

Dimas was confused and asked. "What the hell, Noa?"

"The film that makes Ahmad special every Friday mallm" said Noa kalem.

"Yes not.." - Toyor Dimas to Ahmad, who relaxed.

Tera sat next to Noa and placed her face on Noa's chest. He yawned widely and rubbed his head on Noa's chest.

"Watching a color op ring" said Tera, whose voice was muffled by Noa's chest.

"HUH?"

The three of them looked at each other.

Ahmad confirmed his hearing by scraping the ears.

"I'm not wrong."

"Where was the cd movie that was called Tera."

Dimas ruffled his cd collection.

"Color op ring?"

Noa scratched his head while thinking.

Tera moved away from Noa's chest and repeated her words.

"Lord of the ring, yes."

Noa, Dimas and Ahmad who were both misheard were also uprooted for this culture.

"Conge iih" Tera told Noa.

"There's a hummer in the dong's dalem." joked Noa who made Tera pick her ear.

"Bongeh maneh (deaf lo)" Tera told Dimas.

"Ceuli atawa gagantel konci panto?" tera said to Ahmad.

(House or door key ring?).

They were open to hear Tera's words, he also laughed a little to witness the selfishness of the three friends.

Watching yellow and red caterpillars became their choice to connect jokes and laughter, so as not to disappear eroded by a deadly current called sadness.
