Love And Medicine's

I Need Explanation

Gale rushed into the car, he didn't care about Naava. Gale was like a man who lost control of himself. Confusion, and nervousness. While Naava was still in shock, trying to calm himself by remaining silent, slowly getting into the car.

He took a deep breath before speaking, already impatient He spewed out all the questions that wanted to come out of his head earlier.

The two of them were silent for a moment in the soundproof car.

"Sorry," said Gale bowed before Naava said a word from his lips.

"Why?" asked Naava slowly. Between fear will make Gale angry at his question, but curious about all the events that He just experienced.

"I'm sorry, I can't explain it. Let's just say it never happened" replied Gale as he turned on his car.

"Okay, maybe you need some time. But clearly, I need answers to everything you did to me. Explain to me that you're ready to explain. It's up to you at any time..," replied Naava trembling. He felt disappointed, sad, already treated with as he pleased Gale. Continuously shadowing his head, Gale who had just been snapping at him, in a blink of an eye embracing his small body and suddenly kissed his forehead sweetly in front of people he did not even know. What kind of man is Gale? Is he a space creature with no feelings? Play the feelings of women as they please. Never in the history of his romance, or at least his relationship with a man has been this way.

Naava who used to be flattered, respected, praised by every man who walked with her, now had to face someone who treated her harshly and at will.

Tonight should be a fun chat, knowing Gale's personal deeper, with a special dinner celebrated Naava's favorite. But it doesn't seem like it this time.

"I know you don't like me, at least don't treat me as you like" Naava said softly as he looked towards the window. He had no power to express his disappointment at Gale's attitude tonight.

"I'm sorry. We'd better go home now," Gale said slightly lowering the volume of his voice, not as usual. He looks a little messed up tonight. Naava remained silent without answering Gale's words.

Gale's car swiftly drove through the streets of Jakarta, the cold atmosphere between Gale and Naava, similar to the drizzle that fell on the streets of the city tonight. It was accompanied by the song Endah n Reza, which continued to fill their void.

Oma has arrived at home, the porch lights are on. Naava came down with his doctor's suit. With a lethargic face, he opened the gate, taking off his black banded shoes.

It seems Oma was exhausted after returning to service that night, so she immediately went to sleep without having a chance to meet with Naava and Gale.

Naava went straight into the room, with no words spoken from his mouth.

He put his body on the bed, closed his eyes slowly. So many questions in Naava's heart :

'Who is that woman?'

'He looks hateful to that woman'

'Why did he do it?'

'Is that woman his ex-girlfriend?'

'Oh, so he used me to make his ex jealous?'

'Indeed he thinks I'm cheap?'

The thought kept coming to his head. His mixed feelings had his energy drained even more today.

Naava fell asleep, unaware that he was still wearing his college shirt. His doctor's coat was lying on the floor, his bag was placed carelessly. He felt his body shivering because the AC temperature in his room was too cold. However, warmth suddenly appeared, making him sleep more soundly and comfortably. Yes, there was someone covering her cold self. It was Gale.

"Good morning, Oma.. Sorry, last night Naa came home too late," Naava replied as he rubbed his puffy eyes, just waking up

"It's okay, honey. Gale told me, He apologized to Oma, he said he had asked you to walk until you were sapped," replied Oma softly. Naava only smiled a little, if Oma knew what happened last night.

"Oiya, there is someone who wants to meet you, get ready first" Oma told Naava.

"Who, Oma?" asked Naava

"And you've been waiting for me" replied Oma slowly.

"OK, Oma. Naa wants to get ready first..," said Naava.

For some reason, this time Naava was not so upset by the presence of Danang at his home this morning. Like Danang it will be a place to pour out of what he experienced last night. It's time to show who he really is. Not just any woman, and cheap as Gale thought, Naava thought.

She dressed so pretty that morning. With perfumes given by Gina, souvenirs from France also did not forget he was wearing. He added the yellow ribbon to his blond hair. Adding to the perfect appearance that will meet Danang.

Soon he went down to the dining table, and as usual, Oma had already presented a catch to them before the move. Yes, there's Oma, Danang, and Gale of course.

This time Naava chose to sit right next to Danang, who was directly opposite Gale.

"Hi, dear..," said Danang seeing Naava come down from his room

"Hi," said Naava briefly

"Cock on awkward anyway? Oiya Danang, this is Gale, the son of Alm's best friend, Naava's father and mother. Gale teaches at your college too" Oma said, introducing Gale to Danang

"Yes, Oma.. We already know, papa already told me there is a substitute lecturer on campus," said Danang whose father is a Dean on campus.

"Oh, good then. So no need to be awkward, yes" said Oma and spliced some conversations with Danang.

Naava, who only heard the conversation of Oma and Danang, seriously enjoyed his favorite peanut butter bun.

He made a new loaf of bread because it was not full enough with just one loaf of bread. He reached for the bread that was far away from him, and suddenly Danang and Gale took the Bread together to help Naava.

"This, dear," said Danang, grabbing the bread from Gale's hand and giving it to Naava

"Thank you," said Naava, He saw the eyes of Gale who gave the bread into the hands of Danang, because He knew that Danang was Naava's lover. He has no right to Naava.

"Oiya, who are you going to campus with today, Na?" Oma asked Naava

"Just like me, Oma. ," Danang and Gale answered at the same time, which made the atmosphere stiff at the breakfast table. Danang and Gale looked at Naava who was silent at the answers of the two men before him. Naava was confused who to go with. Not wanting to be with Danang, but the feeling is still chaotic with Gale. However, without a second thought, his lips immediately said

"I'm with Danang, Oma. Yuk..," Naava replied as he took his doctor's suit and said goodbye to Oma. He delivered a sweet kiss on Oma's cheek, then as he passed Gale, Naava said

"I go first, you be careful on the road. Do not think too much about the other when driving later, dangerous..," said Naava then went into the car Danang who was waiting for him in the car.

For some reason, even when upset, Naava still wanted to convey that to Gale. He wants Gale to stay in control, despite the heartbreak of seeing his ex-girlfriend last night. His concern for Gale's feelings, Gale's safety. For some reason, Naava only thought of that, not caring about his own feelings. All he thought about was Gale.
