Fire Sun

Curious

Thunder. "What?"

"Lo, what the hell was that talking about?" asked Gesna with an ascending eyebrow. The girl was like hearing Thunder's reply among the shouts from the television.

"Nothing, ngigo!" replied Thunder quickly. He then headed to the fridge to get the ice cream he had saved.

Hearing the refrigerator door open, Gesna exclaimed, "Gun, all of you bring the remaining fries on the table."

Manufructible. Thunder fulfilled his request. Although there was no word of help or thanks, he would still grant all of Gesna's requests. As it flashed by the window, Thunder unintentionally heard Rainbow and Ghazi's conversation.

"That's your brother?" ghazi asked as Rainbow served a cup of tea.

"The guy, that's my brother. His name is Bang Guntur" replied the Rainbow.

Thunder sharpened his hearing.

"Thunder and Rainbows. What a wonderful name."

Thunder heard Ghazi praising their names. He snorted, maybe even the way Ghazi approached.

"If the girl? Who're you?"

Thunder awaits Rainbow to answer. He deliberately moved sluggishly picking up ice cream in the refrigerator.

"Sir Gesna was his best friend Brother, a neighbor as well. I thought of him as my own brother. I want him to be my brother forever."

"Kirain's boyfriend Brother." The guy mumbled slowly. Thunder fell silent at the conversation of the two people.

"I also want it that way."

The answer Rainbow can Thunder hear clearly. His sister's confession made Thunder's chest beat faster. He did not expect Rainbow to have the same desire as him. Just as Thunder was about to eavesdrop again, Gesna had already called out to him from in front of the television.

"Gun, long time ago! What about ice cream in the Middle East?"

Thunder rushed over with ice cream and a plate of potatoes, extending out to Gesna. "Today I still fail to understand. What's your life motivation for eating dicocol fries the same as ice cream?"

Gesna grabbed the fries and chocolated the potatoes into ice cream before eating them. "Fries eaten with ice cream are the most up-to-date discovery after instant noodles. You know? It's a matchless pleasure."

"Let's go, Ge." Thunder sat back down and scooped the ice cream slowly.

"Yes, it's free. I am a free creature."

Gesna smokes fries covered in ice cream. Thunder must not know what it feels like, never tried. How do you know if you haven't tried? It is not good if you retreat before trying it makes you curious. Zella's sentence broke through her memory suddenly. "Lo's not curious about the taste of potatoes with ice cream, Gun?" tanyanya wants to know.

Thunder Hand grabbed the remote, turn down the volume. The guy shook his head. "Not everyone who is curious should try."

Gesna nodded in understanding, meaning Thunder is the type of person who is not easily curious. It's so different with him. He wondered how Thunder felt to him. But how would he know the answer if he did not try to tell Thunder?

Honestly, Gesna was happy to hear Rainbow discussing between her and Thunder. Moreover, the little girl gave a positive signal. It feels like again there is in a match supported by a thousand people. Their support and screeches were tempestuous, burning the spirit. It feels like you want to keep attacking your opponent and scoring the ball into the opponent's ring.

Gesna's shoulders were shaken, his imagination was spoiled.

"Crazy people. Why do you shut up while smiling to yourself? Think what?" Thunder stuck out his hand, wiping the ice cream with a tissue on the tip of Gesna's lips.

"Ghazi is handsome, huh, Gun?" gumam Gesna. He did not know what to say to Thunder's question. Masa wants to say that I thought of Thunder? Wanted seven derivatives later.

"My arm too. Do you like young leaves? The heat!"

Gesna put the potatoes back in ice cream. If asked to choose Thunder or Ghazi also Gesna must choose Thunder. "Yes, cut off from the old leaves of your kayak? Bagusan young leaves. Fresh!"

"Snurvy!" Thunder pulled a bit of his hair. "Eh, Ge. You want to know?"

Gesna. "Relieve it!"

"Gue's not done talking, smart!" Thunder pulled back Gesna's hair.

"Lo ask ya I answer, smart!" Gesna turned back to the Thunder.

"According to my observations, Renard seems to like Nay. You often ask about Nay to me." Thunder chuckled.

"Sir Adji likes him too" said Gesna carefully. The basketball boy he knew why many liked Naraya, huh? Obviously the girl was fiercely half-dead.

"That's what I already know. Looked out of Adji's eyes. In fact, it is impossible for Adji to be the leading success team for Nay during the OSIS election if there is nothing," Guntur said while watching the shooting scene on television. "It's funny, our captain and former basketball captain are now fighting girls. Not the ball anymore."

"Lo himself. How's it?" Gesna shifted her body, facing Thunder.

"Why with me?" Guys don't seem to understand Gesna's question.

Thunder had completely forgotten that he had told Gesna about Naraya. He was just a prank to test Gesna. There is no feeling whatsoever. Thunder likes Naraya style. He always liked girls who looked independent. However, his admiration for Naraya was only that limited. He certainly prefers someone who can make him laugh like Gesna. With Gesna, he could talk anything and discuss anything.

"No, I don't like Naraya anymore" Thunder replied. It's better that he confesses that than that there's never any sense, that he'll be caught out of his lies.

"Oh..." Gesna. "Who do you like now?"

The girl's mouth was still chewing potatoes, and her eyes were watching Thunder. Thunder shifted its body, facing Gesna. They become eyes. Thunder looked at those round eyes he liked. "Sama, deh. How's it?"

Gesna coughed immediately. Potatoes covered with ice cream seem to be betrayed and nyungsep in the middle of the throat. Thunder thrust out his glass of water that was on the table. "Buset, Ge. Just a sprain."

"This evil potato!" Gesna gulped down mineral water. After the potatoes slid back on track, the girl said back, "Lagian lo fadnya not wear cue. Shocked me, like in that vlog. Prank you're evil, dih."

Thunder clucked loudly. Should he repeat his statement again? It was the result of years of courage. It was like a prisoner sentenced to death, his heart pounding rhythmically. Thunder tried to repeat his statement. "Who knew you liked me that much? Want to be Boboiboy's girlfriend to save the galaxy."

Gesna choked again. Mineral water even spouted out a little from his lips. The girl laughed very loudly and grabbed the tissue, wiping away the ejected spray.

The Thunder Face tightened. This is what he feared. His feelings were laughed at, his feelings rejected and denigrated.

Gesna clasped Thunder's shoulder and still laughed loosely while coughing. "Oath yes, Gun. It's my best laugh since Mama Papa divorced."

Gesna's free right hand was seen wiping away the tears that came out because the waves were blaring. "That's funny, Gun. The oath!"

Before long, both of the girls' hands ruffled her face. While chuckling with sparkling eyes, Gesna gave a thumbs up to the front of Thunder's face like a Boboiboy style.

"Lo is indeed ... best!"

For the laughter that according to Gesna's confession most since that day, Thunder willingly his feelings were thrown and considered a joke just like that.

Gesna was always an exception in his life. It's like having an antidote to everything Thunder doesn't like in life. And Thunder swore, will always keep the laughter in place.

***

"Gee... Gege..."

Thunder tried to wake Gesna up. After laughing, the girl threw her head on the sofa and fell asleep. It could be surmised, Gesna must have stayed up late with Asri and Naraya.

"Woy, Ge..." He shook Gesna's body again.

Mamah who had gone home and changed with a negligee and commented, "If Gesna is still sound, do not be disturbed atuh, Bang. Why build it?"

Thunder also did not have the heart to wake Gesna. But Gustav called him twice. Said his brother Gesna, there are guests looking for Gesna. "He sought out Bang Gustav, Mah," explained Guntur.

Mamah approached, allowing the blanket to be blotted on Gesna's body. "Say the same as Brother. Gesna's still asleep. Here, let Mamah say." The phone in Thunder's hand was taken by Mamah. "Hello, Bang Gustav? Yes, this is Mamah. Gesna's still sleeping, huh. Pisan. Mamah tea does not wake him up. Wait, can you get up?"

Mama smiled hearing Gustav's reply across the street. "Yes. Pity the Gesna if it's built now. Are you tired of basketball training? Yes, if you wake up, you tell me."

Mom closed the call. Thunder stared at his mother in silence, no different treatment was given to him or Gesna. He then remembered the rainbow conversation he had accidentally heard. If only Gesna knew that they loved him very much. Of course the sadness of his best friend is not too deep.

Mamah rubbed Gesna's hair a little messy. "How come you didn't tell Mamah that Gandhi wasn't home?" asked the woman to look at him.

Thunder did not know what to answer. He deliberately hid the fact, waiting until Gesna got used to it.

"The son of Mamah's father. This matter is too much for him." Mamah looked concernedly at Gesna. Divorce is the last option that God never approves of.

"Mama Papah love her." Mom put her hands in front of her chest. As if I felt pain.

Thunder could only answer inwardly. Brother too, Mah.

"You must remember him to be careful, take care of yourself."

Thunder nodded.

"Abang also love Gesna?" Mom rubbed her hair. It seems like the mother knew that her son loved Gesna more than the usual feelings between friends.

Thunder did not reply, only able to nod again.

"What Brother no plan——"

Thunder's body thrust forth, hugging his mother. He knew the meaning of Mamah's sentence and wanted to stop it. Evidently, Mamah was silenced and returned his embrace. He rubbed Mama's back. "Don't ever think about it, yeah, Mah."

The Thunder Hugs loosened. He cupped both hands on her cheek. "Mamah is the number one woman that you love the most. And I promise you won't disappoint Mamah."

For children who always try to be devoted to parents. For the guy who always tries to keep his promise. For a beloved friend who secretly she entrusts love. Gesna willingly backed away from all curiosity and hid her feelings.

Gesna had actually woken up from earlier but was reluctant to open her eyes. He only heard the nearby talk with a choked throat and a sense of warmth that he was trying to hold in both of his eyes.
