In The Rain
CHAPTER 12
After the engine shuts down, everything goes quiet. Raden turned off the car's lights and lowered the roof. A bright moonlight fell on their faces. While the breezy wind was toying with their hair.
Raden stretched his hand to the back of the Gemintang seat. Raden's knee touched the Gemintang's knee as he turned around to look at the Gemintang. Gemintang can smell the fragrance of perfume that Raden wears, seeing the shadows of fine whiskers growing. Raden is not a child anymore, he is a grown man. The star has never dated, has never been alone with a man.
Realizing Raden did not say a word, the Gemintang continued to siphon drinks. Raden watched him closely. The star saw Raden watching his lips suck a drink. There was a loud sound when the drink finally ran out. He looked at Raden with shame.
Raden smiling. “Enak milk shake?”
“Enak. Thank you.” The star gave his empty glass to Raden, who then slipped it under the bench.
When erect again, Raden slightly tilted the body so that their faces faced. That night their conversation ended due to great curiosity.
The star observed Raden closely, as well as the man. The star saw Raden's gaze explore all over his face, hair, neck, and chest, and it made the Gemintang feel his body hot and like a strange feeling of pleasure, which made his body float. However, there was a heavy feeling that engulfed his lower body. A kind of hot air, which he never felt but felt delicious, a forbidden but pleasant feeling, a feeling that now began to run through his veins.
Raden placed his thumb on the lower lip of the Gemintang, tracing that lower lip with his fingers. The star felt like he was going to die out of breath. Suddenly he felt unable to breathe.
“You are beautiful,” praise Raden with a raucous voice.
“Thank you.”
“How old are you?”
“Fifteen.”
“Fifteen.” Raden turned his face away from Gemintang. However, as if unable to control his impulse, he looked back at the Star. “I thought of you all day since meeting you in that forest.” His hand was stroking the Gemintang cheek now, and his thumb was stroking his lower lip.
“Really?”
“Mmm,” Raden murmuring. “All day long only you have in mind.”
“I also thought of you.”
The statement of the Gemintang seemed to please Raden. He smiled while tilting his body. “What are you thinking?”
The Gemintang cheeks flushed red, he felt relieved the darkness hid his face that was flushed red because it was ambushed by a feeling of shame. To avoid Raden's gaze, Gemintang directed his gaze to Raden's neck, to the uncluttered part of the shirt. “Many things,” replied Gemintang with a raucous voice.
“Many things?” Raden smiling. Yet it was just a fleeting smile, unable to take his gaze away from the Starry face. “Are you thinking..” Raden seemed to be looking for the right words.
“Are you thinking of us... together? Maybe touch each other?”
“Touch?” repeat Gemintang with breath tight.
“Kiss?”
The Starry Lips opened, but not a word came out of her lips. He heard nothing but his own heart.
“You ever kissed?” ask Raden
“Yes, several times,” replied Gemintang, lying when it is close to the man what else until dating he is not restless.
“You are still too small,” Raden murmured, closing his eyes for a moment before finally opening them again. “Are you scared when I kiss you? Can I kiss you?” asked Raden gently while stroking the Gemintang hair.
“I'm not afraid of you, Raden.”
“I want to kiss, Gemintang.” whispered Raden while moving closer. Gemintang felt Raden's breath hit his face and he closed his eyes. Then Raden's lips touched his lips gently, motionless, hesitating‐.
When the Starling was about to pull her lips, Raden tilted his head, then pressed even harder. Time and again Raden's lips met the lips of the Gemintang, peeping at a glance, giving small kisses, which made the Gemintang burn a passionate desire that arose from within him, something he did not describe.
Raden held the face of the Gemintang with both hands and touched his lips, but this time he opened his lips. The starry felt Raden's wet tongue land on his lips, licking them gently.
Raden let out a soft sigh before finally putting more emphasis on his tongue to his lips. The eyes of the Gemstar widened in surprise. Rigid body. However, the pleasure he felt because what Raden did defeated his rejection, his lips opened. Raden's tongue slipped in between his lips. The tongue touched the tip of his tongue, stroked, licked, and went further and further into his mouth.
When Raden's hands clenched his body tightly, the Starling clutched Raden's front shirt. Gemintang feels his feelings are not strange, he feels his body is limp because of things he has never felt. The urge to close his body to Raden's body was so intense that he could barely control it. He enjoys but is at the same time afraid of the desire that Raden awakens in him.
Raden retreated regretfully, kissed the wet lips gently, then distanced himself. With a heavy heart he tried to keep his distance between them. His hand was pulled from the back of the Gemintang, again placed on both cheeks of the Gemintang. The eyes of the Gemintang are still closed. When he opened his heavy eyes, the Starling felt all over his body like being ambushed by a feeling of weakness.
“You all right, Gemintang?"
Flashback off
Now, in this cold hospital hallway, the Gemintang answers Raden's questions like twelve years ago, like the events of the night after they kissed for the first time. “Yes, Raden, I'm fine.” Raden also seems to be trapped in those memories. Seen by Gemintang for a while, before finally hurriedly turning around and saying, “We should go home soon.”
