In The Rain
CHAPTER 16
Flashback.
"Hi" said Raden.
“Hai too, what are you doing here?” ask Gemintang.
“Memancing.” Raden tilted his head towards a stalk sticking out on the surface of the mud on the river bank. The fishing line seemed to vibrate in the water. Raden did not look seriously fishing. “You arrived earlier than yesterday.”
The starry face turned red, he turned away from the man with a very charming smile. He left the house half an hour early, because it was likely Raden was in the woods and he would have had time to chat with the man.
Gemintang tried to look his best, he wore the best skirt and shirt he had, he also combed his hair neatly, and cut his fingernails.
After last night Raden kissed him, he never thought he would see Raden again. Now Raden is here, sitting under a tree wearing short jeans and a sleeveless T-shirt. Raden looks very confident and handsome like a movie star. The athletic muscles of his hands and feet stood out, making the Starlings mesmerized.
“I asked my house assistant to make some sandwiches. You like smoked beef?”
“Entahlah. I've never tried it.”
“Hmm, now you will try it,” Raden said with a smile. He held a mat on the grass and asked Gemintang to sit down. Then he opened the basket and thrust a piece of sandwich wrapped in plastic on the star. They talk while eating.
"This smoked meat is delicious."
“I'm glad you like it.” Raden leaned against the tree trunk while chewing.
"Raden, are you helping out at your father's factory?"
“I want to help in the factory,” he replied while glaring. “If Daddy and I can agree on some things.”
Raden glanced at the Gemintang at a glance then he continued. “My father does not want to add capital to his factory, he is satisfied with what he got from his factory now. Though many ways can be done to increase revenue, renew, make a more comfortable place to work for employees. I have not succeeded in convincing him that if he adds more capital to his factory now, later he will harvest the results in the long term.”
“Maybe you have to succumb in some ways at first.”
“Maybe too,” replied Raden, hesitating. He put his hands in the basket, pulled out a can of cold drink. He winks at the stars. “I would love to drink a cold beer, but fear being caught drinking it with an underage girl like yourself. I can be jailed.”
Finished lunch Gemintang helped Raden put the remaining food into the basket, then he leaned on the tree trunk, while Raden lay beside him while supporting his head with his hands. He looked at the stars.
“What are you thinking?” tanyakanya.
The star meets her look. “Yumu.”
“Mommy?” The surprised tone in Raden's voice could not be hidden.
“I'm so sad to hear he's dead, Raden. She's a very good woman.”
“When did you meet my mommy?”
“I saw him when he came to the store where I worked. I saw her the most elegant woman I have ever known.”.
Raden laughing. “Ya, indeed. He was very attentive to his appearance."
“He is also very beautiful. If I may know, what did he die of, Raden?”
Raden observed the edge of the Gemintang skirt, his finger tracing the embroidery on the edge of the skirt. “Heartbroken,” replied Raden slowly.
The stars saw the pain on Raden's face, making the Gemintang feel touched. “How can a person who lives in a luxurious house like your house be heartbroken?”
Raden did not respond to Gemintang's question, he asked back. “You like my house?”
Starry Eyes Shining. “That's the most beautiful house in the world,” replied Gemintang amazed and Raden laughed. “Well, at least, it's the most beautiful house I've ever seen.”
Raden looked surprised. “You ever logged in?”
“Oh, certainly never. I often pass through that house. I like to stand looking at him. I'm willing to do anything to be able to stay at home like that.” The Starry Eyes glared far away. “You might think I'm crazy.”
Raden. “I also like my house. I never get tired of looking at it either. Someday I'll invite you home.”
“Your sister is so beautiful. I've seen it with your mother a few times.”
“Name Laura.”
“I never saw him at school. Does he homeschool?”
“I... I'm sorry.. I didn't mean..”.
“Hai,” Raden said while pulling the hand of Gemintang. “Nothing‐apa. Laura is an amazing girl. I love him so much.”
“Lucky once he had an older brother like you.”
Back Raden propped his head up with his hands and threw a mischievous look at the Starlings. “Is that?”
“Ya.”
Raden grabbed the hand of the Star, then turned it over and observed the hand lines on the palm of that hand. Raden's index finger traced the Gemintang hand from the palm to the most sensitive hand. The touch of Raden's hand made the entire Gemintang body rumble. His chest rumbled erratically. It's surprising to feel*********** suddenly stiffening.
“I have to go,” he said with a hunting breath.
“I don't want you to go,” Raden said in a raucous voice. His gaze slowly met the sight of the Starling. “I wish we both could all day here, like this, chat.”
The heart of the Gemintang circled. “I'm sure you have a lot of friends to chat with. They can talk to you, right?”
“They all love to talk,” Raden replied. “But no one likes to listen, as you do, Gemintang.”
Slowly Raden stood up, his hand brushed the Gemintang hair behind his tiered neck, then pulled the Gemintang docked to his body. The star did not refuse in the least until Raden's lips touched his lips. Both washed away, mutually mend*sah favors.
Raden's lips were as soft as last night's, but because the Gemintang responded, Raden became instantly excited. The kiss gets hotter for longer.
Starry drifting in the flow of desire to stir Raden, his soul tempestuous erratic, trapped in passion, body fragrance, Raden body touch on his body.
The next minute, the Gemintang lay down on Raden's bare thigh, while Raden leaned over the Gemintang's body. His tongue scoured the mouth of the Gemintang passionately while the fingers of the Gemintang gripped Raden's hair.
Raden raised his head, gasping for breath, then came back to rain down on the Gemintang with a warm kiss. Fretfulness crawled the feeling of Gemintang. His feet were struggling. Chests pounding. "Raden, I'm scared" he said innocently.
Raden closed his eyes tightly, then pulled his body away from the Gemintang. "I'm sorry, Gemintang" he said with a sense of error.
Raden helped the Gemintang stand up, then he held the Gemintang tightly, stroked his back, whispering sweet words behind his hair. “I'm sorry, I would never forgive myself if you were fired from your job,” Raden whispered.
“Oh, geez!” said Gemintang, while pushing Raden's body away.“What time is it?”
“You still have time to go now.”
“See you,” says Gemintang while tidying up her hair.
Raden held his hand. "I'm sorry about that, and I'm sorry about tonight because I can't pick you up."
“I also did not expect you to pick me up, Raden,” replied the plain Star.
“I want to pick you up, but I have something to do later tonight.”
“It's okay. Really.” The star started to step. “Thank you for lunch.” Turning around, he disappeared behind the trees. Raden.
“Star!” Raden called out to him in a dignified tone, making the Gemintang stop his running and turn around.
“Ya?”
“I'll wait for you tomorrow. On here. Okay?”
The radiant Starry expression competed with the brightness of the sunlight as he smiled at Raden. “Ya,” answer.
The next day they met again, and the following days, almost every day in a few weeks in a row they routinely met. If there is no work, Raden picks up Gemintang at his workplace and drives him to a turn near the house.
The starfish tilted its body and looked at the moon which was emitting its rays among the branches of trees outside the window. How happy those days were. He lives in joy, Raden expressed his intention to pursue the future with Gemintang.
Gemintang tells all his personal secrets, they both reveal secrets that no one else has ever known.
Every hour that passes together is very happy, no matter the sunny weather or rain everything is still happy.
It was the most beautiful day of the days they spent together.
Flashback off
The star is sobbing, allowing tears to wet his cheeks. Actually he wanted to cry for Thunder, but the tears that fell were precisely for Raden.
