Hugged Me

Chapter 9

The sun was silent, his voice stuck in the esophagus. He looked at Venus deeply. His eyes flashed, perhaps in just a single blink of crystal-clear liquid would pour over his face.

The sun immediately turned its face the other way then let out a long sigh to neutralize his feelings. A second later the girl looked back at Venus with a smile on her thin lips.

“Do not joke. This is not funny, Brother,” said Matahari.

For whatever sake, the Sun hopes this isn't real. That the words of Venus were just a joke.

“I'm serious. I want us to break up.”

“Why?”

Venus looks at the Sun. There was a pause long enough for Venus to say softly.

“I have no more reason to defend this relationship,” said Venus.

“Means?”

“I don't love you anymore. Everything feels bland now not like before,” said Venus.

Sun choked. Both of his hands clenched over his thighs. His chest felt very tight even throbbing pain like being hit by thousands of blunt objects.

“Truly-have no feelings anymore?” ask Sun.

Venus nodded and it made the Sun's heart even more sick.

“At least?” ask the sun again, witty.

Venus fell silent. He looked at the sun deeply. Venus knows the girl next to her must be devastated right now, but she sticks to her decision to end their love.

Venus wanted to grab the Sun but the girl immediately brushed it off. “I don't want to break up. I'm used to it Brother,” said Matahari.

“For that from now on you should get used to without me and vice versa.”

“I don't want,” says Matahari. The girl removed her seatbelt and hugged Venus tightly. “Don't break up, Brother. Plis,”.

After two years, the Sun might just break up with Venus. She was used to the presence of Venus in her life. The sun was already dependent on the man.

Venus distanced the Sun, clutching her shoulders while looking deeply at the girl.

“Let me have a chance once more. I promise, I can definitely make big brother love again with me,” said Matahari.

The light brown round sparkle was glazed. Even now the clear liquid in it began to decay soaked his cheeks.

To be honest, Venus does not have the heart to see the Sun cry. Some of his heart felt pain. Gently, Venus wiped the trail of tears on the cheek of the Sun.

“I can't force staying together. We will not be happy,” Venus said.

The sun turned its face the other way. A moment later the girl looked back at the cold Venus.

“There are other girls?” ask Sun.

“No.”

“Honestly, I won't be angry.”

“Nothing, Sunny. There is no other girl besides you,” said Venus.

“Terus why kekeh want to break up?” ask Sun.

Venus clucking. “I told you earlier, I don't love you anymore.”

“Easy then?”

“I've thought this far and wide and I'm sure of my decision,” said Venus seriously.

The sun took a long breath. His mouth felt so faint that it was difficult to speak.

In silence the girl gazed towards the front feeling a tightness in her chest. He wanted to go back and plead not to break up with Venus, but it felt free.

A relationship must be maintained and fought for by two people. If only one of them did it, it would be useless and would eventually still be destroyed as well.

“OK,” murmured the Sun a while after being silent.

The girl turned her head towards Venus who was also looking at her in silence.

“I agree we broke up,” says Matahari.

And somehow the heart of Venus felt a throbbing pain when the Sun said it. From the beginning, he wanted all this to happen.

“Start now between us there is no relationship anymore,” said the Sun lirih. “Hopefully after this Sister found the happiness that sister is looking for.”

The sun opened the car door about to descend, but Venus immediately held it back.

“Where are you going?” ask Venus.

“Down.”

“No, Sunny. I'll drive you home.”

“No need, Brother. Thanks,” says Matahari. She brushed off the hand of Venus holding her back and got out of the car immediately.

Venus wants to catch up with the descending Sun, but is oblivious because suddenly her phone vibrates. He immediately saw the notification of the incoming message on his phone screen.

[Sister Venus can pick me up now, can't you? Take me to a new house]

Venus looked towards the Sun and was silent for a moment. Then he started the car engine and drove away from the Sun alone.

The man really left the sun. Without pity, without feeling.

The sun was crouching when Venus disappeared. She closed her eyes and cried alone.

The weather this afternoon seemed to feel the same feeling that the Sun felt. So suddenly the sky dropped a speck of water to the earth, as if crying with the Sun.

“It turns out I'm not that strong, God. My heart really hurts,” said the Sun in tears. His voice was also shaking.

Slowly the earth began to darken, not only because it was cloudy, but the night would soon be welcome in place of the day.

The sun stood up again, his entire body was already wet. Even her tears had already melded with the rain.

The sun is looking for a place to stay by the side of the road. He took his cell phone to call someone. Unfortunately, Jasmin who was expected to help her, she could not be contacted.

Giving up on his best friend's help, Matahari put his phone back in the bag. He started looking for a passing taxi, but could not find it. Some taxis don't stop when the Sun asks for them.

Almost giving up, suddenly a passing motor stopped right in front of him.

The sun frowned, he did not know the person on the motorcycle because it was covered in a helmet. In his heart the Sun began to feel anxious, afraid that coming was a criminal.

“Sun? How come you're here alone?” tanyakanya.

That voice, a man's voice. The sun seemed to know him, but he felt unsure. Until the man opened the helmet he was wearing.

“Ceiling,” murmuring Sun.

The sky came down from his motorbike and opened the jacket he was wearing while approaching the Sun which looked disheveled and soaked. The sky immediately put his jacket on the body of the Sun so that the girl is not too cold.

Just now the Sun will protest, but not so because the Sky first speaks. “Wear my jacket first, your shirt is wet,” he said.

The sun looked down and he realized the words Heaven was right, his clothes were soaked because he had been sitting for a long time in the rain.

“Lo again what's here alone?” The sky repeated the question.

“Gue .. I want to go home.”

The Sky's forehead frowned deeply upon hearing the roar of the Sun. He looked at the girl's face. “Lo from cry? Why?” tanyakanya.

Not wanting to tell him anything, the Sun just shook its head. Then the girl raised her gaze, staring at the Sky with a difficult to decipher highlight.

“You want me to drive home?” ask Sky.

“It looks like here it will be difficult to get a taxi. It's getting dark too, danger for girls,” said Sky again.

The sky took a deep breath looking at the Sun which had been silent since then. Sky did not know what things or what problems had happened to the girl, Heaven did not want to find out. He will only listen if the Sun will tell him.

Not much to say, Sky grabbed the Sun's wrist and pulled him to come home together after the rain had subsided. He gave helmets to the Sun. Fortunately the Sky always carried two helmets just in case.

“Pake first her helmet.”

The sun receives the helmet and wears it. After that he also climbed on the motorbike with the sky.

No conversation took place between Heaven and Sun on their way home. The gust of night wind makes the atmosphere even cooler. Whether it is the Sky or the Sun, both are busy with their own thoughts. Suddenly the sky stopped on the side of the road.

“Why stop? Gasoline discharged?” ask Sun.

“Traditional. Where ever my motor runs out of gasoline,” said Sky.

“If it's not out of gas, then why stop here?”

The sky scratched his head that was not wearing a helmet because he had just let go. “It ... I don't know where your home is.”

“Yeey, why not from earlier, Bambang.” The sun is angry at the sky. The man laughed without feeling guilty.

“How to nanya, lo from earlier diem,” sahut Langit.

“Lah, I think you know my house so want anterin me back.”

“Lo think I'm a psychic who knows the contents of your mind?” sky Said.

The sun grinned showing a neat row of white teeth and it looked so adorable in the eyes of the Sky. Until the man had trouble to take his eyes off.

“So how?”

“Eh, yes?”

Sky chuckling. “Home address lo, Matahari,” he said anxious. “So go home no?” tanyanya.

“So, yes, the time I nginep at home lo,” said Matahari.

“If you want, I don't mind,” said Sky, tengil.

The sun immediately slapped the head of the sky. “Lo thinks I'm a fuckin' girl. Basic!”

“Hehe, Joking me,” says Sky.

“Canda you are not funny.”

It feels, the sky is very eager to pinch the lips of the Sun who is pouting. How wonderful God's creation is. Even in the dim light, but her beauty is still radiated. The sky does not want to turn away. Wanting to continue to linger alone with the Sun, like this was already quite enough.

“Nih.” The sun showed his phone screen on. It says his home address in full. “My home address,”.

The sky drew his face closer to reading. After knowing the location, he also returned to wear his helmet preparing to continue the journey.

“Oh, already deket this location,” he said while wearing a helmet.

“Udah ready yet?” ask Sky.

“Udah,” reply Sun.

“Lo don't want that grip? Intar if you fall I am not responsible ya.”

The sun rolled his eyes lazily. After that he kept his hands on the shoulders of the Sky. “Udah nih, street spout!”

“Asiaaap, departing.” Spoken sky imitates one of the film casts of ojek polling. After that the Sky motor also drove back to split the highway. The goal is very clear now that he has found the address.

It did not take long, the Sky and Sun had arrived in front of the Sun home safely. An interesting sight welcomes the coming of the Sun.

The girl saw someone she knew very well in front of her house. However, what makes the Sun surprised is that someone is with someone else and looks very familiar.

“What are you doing here?”
