Love Bersemi



After the fireplace was extinguished, a rabbit had already turned into several kinds of dishes. If Laras is in charge of taking care of the taste inside, while Win and Lion must ripen pieces of meat that are pierced with small bamboo outside.


Lion continues to fan the fire so that it does not go out, and Win is responsible for maturity. Flipping through meat to ripen flat is the job of the hunter. He said he understood better because he was used to living in the forest.


"That's enough. Turn off the fire" said Win, lifting the piece of meat. 


However, instead of turning off the fire, Lion just shook it harder. Making Win who turned around immediately got flakes of ash and smoke.


Win closed his eyes. His hand almost threw the Lion with an iron tray if he did not catch his breath immediately and held him. "You want to die?"


Lion just smiled with satisfaction. When else could he see Win's charred face. Although the charred seems not only the hunter, but the rest of the meat that has not been lifted has also become a victim.


Not accepting, Win replied to Lion's actions. He took the fan lying on the couch. With a vengeful power, he flicked back the charcoal that was supposed to be extinguished. Until the chaos was actually created by two grown men.


"Geez!" Rounded Barrel Eyes. "What are you guys really doing?"


After putting the dishes away recklessly, Laras immediately pushed Lion and Win whose faces were filled with smoke firmly. This woman rushed to turn off the fireplace. "Aish! How did you bake up a charred like this?"


No one answered. The sharp gaze of Laras made the two men there only be able to blame each other through the eyes.


After a while, Baras took a deep breath. Anger will only make him tired. Remembering something, he turned to look at Lion. "You okay?" tanyanya's worried. As he remembered, the werewolf was not resistant to fire. However, Lion immediately nodded, making Laras throw a sigh of relief.


While on the other hand, there was a man waiting for the same question from Laras. However, it seems that he should be disappointed because he did not get it.


"Not just him. I was also exposed to smoke, Laras. Why is he the only one you ask?" win protest, sulk. But instead of the same treatment that was obtained, Laras just hit him quite strongly.


"You're! Just like a child!"


Time goes fast. As the three finished eating, the moon rose higher to the contest.


Win packing things slowly. Actually he did not want to move, but Laras as if telling him to quickly hurry from there.


"I didn't throw you out. You also have to go hunting, right?" Barrel.


"When I'm off hunting today."


"Haish!" Barrel raised his hand, but didn't hit Win. "That's it. Hurry home!"


The barrel waved, as hinted to Win more speed up the pace. As a result, slowly the man's body sank into the dark streets.


After Win's departure, there were now only the two of them left behind. At first glance it looks like usual. But after the incident in the forest, it was like there was a ravine separating the two. Laras sighed, his head feeling dizzy after the wound reminded him.


"You too are leaving" Laras said slowly. Unwilling to see Lion any longer, the woman rushed away. But not yet had time, his steps were prevented with his arms grasped.


"Marine ...." Lion's sentence stopped. While in front of him the woman reluctantly turned around because she was holding back tears. "I still like you."


Instantly Baras' chest felt tight. Like there was a painful lump filling his heart. The water in the eye pelup almost spilled even though it had been held as hard as possible. If the statement just came from Lion, of course Laras will feel very happy. But after all that seemed real, would he be able to feel such pleasure again?


Hearing him made Laras feel even more hurt. Words are more painful than dagger incisions in the heart. He was all his strength to hold himself back from sobbing. Even though he had to bite his lips hard.


"It's not because I hate you. It's just that there's a huge difference between us. You're a human being, and I-"


"What if I don't care?" cut the barrel quickly. Coinciding with that the Lion's eyes were rounded. In the second of her beat, the woman there turned around with tears filling her eyes. "What if I don't care about our status?"


Lion froze, unmoved staring at the seriousness in Laras' eyes.


"I don't care even if you're not human. What's wrong? All this time we can be together" Laras continued. Because the truth is, the words are sincere coming from his heart. "As long as we're happy, why worry about things that haven't even happened yet?"


True, the words of Laras are completely not wrong. Lion agreed. However, there was a big secret that the woman did not know. A secret that not even all of his flock was told. About the events of 30 years ago that made the kingdom of Fantasiana become what it is today.


"What's the problem? You can't answer?" Laras looked at Lion in disappointment. After a while the man simply flinched, Laras let out a breath of disbelief. He tried to release the arm from Lion's grasp and rushed away from there.


But who would have thought, a detached grip just changed with a hug. Lion held onto Laras tightly. At that moment, the world stopped again.


Silence whack. No sound was heard except for a heartbeat that kept pounding. Baras almost cried in surprise. While Lion had already sunk his head on the woman's shoulders.


A few seconds passed without any exchange of words. Lion was silent, especially Laras who could not determine what attitude should do. 


"You're right. Who cares?" Finally the sentence was thrown from Lion's lips after a moment of silence. "I don't even care if you're an old woman. As long as I can be happy."


The barrel that was about to dissolve in the atmosphere immediately released a hug. He pinched Lion's stomach strongly, causing the man to chill in pain. 


"What's wrong?" ask Lion Wonder. As he tried to express sincerity, even hard pinches were obtained.


Not answering, Laras looked into Lion's eyes. He still feels in disbelief to be able to see a pair of neutrals that make him fall in love.


"This time you're serious, right?" ask Laras. Lion smiled and nodded. "If you ever dump me again, I'll attack your flock, okay?"


Lion chuckled, but he still nodded confidently. "If that happens, I'll punish myself."


The quiet night became more silent. Both of them were drowning in deep gazes. The tightness in the heart is much reduced. Like there's a wind that's wiping out all the smoke in there. Slowly Laras eyes closed when a kiss Lion gave.

While still inside the forest, two wolves that turned into humans walked following the footsteps that his comrade had left behind.


"You sure you don't want to go home?"  ask Vicky.


Kevin looked at me. "Without Aira? It's impossible."


Vicky smiled. "When you can be the next king's candidate." Kevin looked at her sharply. "I'm just kidding" said Vicky.


Breathing out of Kevin's lips. "We must bring Aira home immediately before the elders suspect."
