JUST A CRASH - BUTTERFLY CROSSING
30. DEPUTY
“Shuji-san?” kiela's voice sounded from across the phone. The teenage girl was wearing a white-gray uniform and seemed to be about to leave for school. With her long hair in the lower ponytail, Kiela's hand holding the fence stopped as she clearly saw the face on the screen.
“Hah, Sister?”
“Kak Orange?”
Kiela screeched and immediately turned back to the house. The teenage girl shouted to shake the entire yard to the surprise of the neighbors around.
“Maaa!!! Brother Jingga Maa…! Maaa...” at the end of her exclamation Kiela sobbed. The glasses hanging on his nose started to steam up from tears. “Ma, ma, Brother Orange..”.
Orange who was still smiling calmly suddenly felt like crying too when he heard his sister and mother appear on the camera with sad eyes.
“Ma...,” suddenly missed, but just now still ordinary?
“Oh, Mama's daughter.” Rosita rubbed her chest while holding back tears. The woman smiled looking at the reddish-healthy orange. But the bandage on his head made the fifties woman drop tears. “Daughter Mama..., Thank God, you are still saved, son.. You don't know how your Mama was here.”.
Orange nodded and listened and occasionally wiped her tears. “Iya, Ma.” Orange doesn't tell even Shuji. The time the storm hit the ship was the scariest thing for her.
His senior fainted before being able to do something and Orange moved without thinking. The incident he had just experienced was like not his story. But the wound on his head clearly told me it wasn't a dream.
Jingga does not intend to tell him because she knows the concerns of her family and Shuji. The most important thing now is that he is healthy and safe.
The two chatted for a long time until Rosita finished crying. The middle-aged woman realized that her second daughter was still sitting next to her.
“You why not leave school immediately!?”
“Ala, Ma.. Kak Jingga has not seen for a long time. Kiela will not focus on learning..,”.
“Not focus what...., go there! You study hard so you go to college Engineering!”
“Aduh Ma, why also Kiela suddenly Kiela studied Engineering, yesterday told Kiela to study medicine!”
“Technique so you can understand when you get on the boat later.”
Kiela who was sitting by Rosita's side shook her head slowly at Orange. “Kak, yesterday when I heard my sister was treated, Mama said I was a doctor. Now Mom told me to be a technique. What else will I be told, try,”
The orange that heard him laughed.
“Where else is it?” ask Kiela. “This is Bang Shuji's number, right?”
“Mmm.”
Rosita who was silent immediately stood up her ears, ready to listen to the gossip. The sad atmosphere just now seemed to be lost in the broom of the waves.
“That guy... have you guys made it?” Rosita frowned. All this time he always reminded his daughters to always take care of themselves and not accept the invitation of just any man unless the person is serious.
But if Shuji is not, he should always hold fast to his stance!
“When to marry, Son?” Rosita asked blatantly. If not tied up immediately, this man will be taken.
The orange that was still listening quietly instantly reddened his face.
“Ma, talk what, anyway?” The orange rounded his eyes and tried not to glance at Shuji.
Fortunately, they talked in their language. Otherwise, Shuji will hear it can be troublesome…
“What is it? You can't be a playgirl and mess with people's feelings!”
Orange closed its eyes. “Who's a playgirl, Ma.”
“Mama has seen who it is, Suji. Shuji.”
Realizing his name is called, Shuji attempts to deposit his face into the camera.
“What are you doing? Drive there.” The orange elbowed Shuji and kept the camera out of sight.
“Why? I heard Mama call me.”
Orange: ….
“Mama??”
“Um. Mama.” Shuji nodded casually and turned the wheel without losing concentration.
“That's My Mom.”
“I know.” Shuji glanced at the strange orange, as if asking why he said such an obvious thing.
Orange: ???
Could this be Shuji's way of getting along….?
“Just Mama agrees you're with Shuji. But Mama does not like if the relationship before marriage…. What Kiela?”
Kiela who was sitting at the side replied with a flat face as if she was tired. “MBA, Mom, MBA.”
“Yes that, Married Because.”.
“That's Marriage By Accident, Ma. That's English.”
“Your mom doesn't know but don't scream!!” Rosita thumped Kiela's back.
“Which yells who, Maaa.!”
“Sorry, yes, noisy.” This must have been the first time Shuji had seen such a barbaric family like his.
“Your family seems like fun.”
“Um.” Jingga.
“Ahem.” Kiela's voice on the other side resuscitated Orange. “Who would have thought my brother who is a hick would have a handsome candidate like a member of boyband.”
“Be quiet.” The orange clenched its teeth and whispered softly.
“Be quiet." Kiela scoffed and then complained. "Ma, listen, Ma. Sis Jingga whispers like a woman only she.”
“Your sister is indeed female, Kiela.” Rosita who had stood up to do something shouted from the kitchen.
“But he whispers fine, Ma. I'm sitting up until I get up!!” Kiela who was joined by laughter.
“Let it, your brother is in love again. Women if they already like men become soft.”
Rosita, Kiela and Jingga chatted for a while before the call ended. Without even glancing at Shuji, Jingga handed over her phone.
“It's done?”
“Um.” Orange nodded. He found his car was no longer running. “We're here?”
“It has arrived from earlier.”
“Sorry.” Orange whispers shame.
“Why are you so shy?” the man beside her did not give up on seducing. Even though Shuji doesn't understand what he's talking about, he knows that Orange has been seduced by his family, and that it has something to do with Shuji himself.
“You so often prank me.” The orange said scowl even though his eyes said otherwise. The two get out of the car and Shuji drags the suitcase into the apartment building.
"If I don't judge you, who shall I judge?"
"I don't want to be corrupted."
"....." Shuji pressed the elevator button and glanced at the woman beside him. "If I were to be loved, would I?"
"....What the hell, anyway."
With an orange red face turned away, deciding to stop paying attention to the silly man beside her.
Just yesterday he left and thought he would be apart for a long time, five days later he came back. After the door of the apartment was opened by Shuji, the woman immediately rushed in.
He noticed there was no musty smell like the house he lived in for a long time. He even smelled the fresh scent of floor cleaners.
Orange said bismillah before entering and running happily towards the room. “Home sweet home!”
“Do not run carelessly.” Shuji frowned and put the suitcase at the end of the room then turned around busy either taking care of what.
They were together for these five days, undeniably they became closer than ever. The orange already shows the side of the ice. During these five days he had not taken a bath, what else was so embarrassing? Shuji. Orange has seen everything.
Humans are very adaptable creatures.
The two are getting more open with each other.
The orange took his pillow to move to the sofa and lay there. Watching Shuji busy in his kitchen take the rice out to the pot and wash it off.
“What are you doing?” ask Orange, pleasantries.
Shuji who heard the question lowered his head, slightly embarrassed himself blatantly randomizing the kitchen of people.
The layout of this kitchen is exactly like his. Actually it was Shuji who imitated having an orange. Although the bowl and some of its positions were placed differently, Shuji almost felt this was his apartment...
“Sorry, I... I cook porridge for you.?”
“Pfft...” Orange could not hold back his laughter and accidentally the veins on his head stiffened. Making her stitches feel a little sore until she complains.
“How can you be so careless?” Shuji turned off the stove and approached. The man did not touch the head of the orange carelessly but restrained the sleeves of his girl's shirt to stop moving.
While his one hand pulled out a cell phone to contact someone.
Even though Orange felt pain, it felt like only a second. Curiously the woman returned to focus on Shuji who was on the phone. His face is serious, looks handsome. Make the orange pay attention.
As soon as the man turned off the phone, Orange immediately asked. “Whose phone are you calling?” from her position it sounded like a female voice. Shuji has never interacted with women. But usually the man will not take the initiative, except for certain things. For example, when chatting with a nurse before...
“Yang will take care of you.” replied Shuji cutting off the imagination of Orange.
“Hah?”
“Hah, what hah.” Shuji wanted to pinch the orange cheek but held it back. This woman laughed a little her head immediately hurt, if the cheek pinches will be seams open how?
Shortly the doorbell rang. Shuji immediately got up and opened the door.
Orange woke up from her sleep and saw a woman in her forties at the door. “Nakai-san?”
“Jingga-chan, how are you? No need to stand up, sit down, sit down,” The woman came in took off her coat and handed Shuji a basket of fruit, as if the man had become the head of the family in this apartment room.
Orange: ....
Considered like a sickly person who can not do anything, make Orange unpleasant but because the one who spoke to him was an old man, the woman also according.
