Missing the Orange

Missing the Orange
14. Orange Anxiety



The orange still sat on the balcony in front of his room, and placed his head on the back of the sofa. That twilight, he stared at the sky that looked reddened with copper. Since coming home from college, his mind has wandered everywhere. The thing he fears is the truth if Deandra, his best friend's cousin is the same person as Mas Alan's ex-girlfriend. Want to continue with this marriage relationship?


"If that's true, then who impregnates Deandra is Mas Alan? Has he gone that far? It was so disgusting "he murmured inwardly with a cynical smile attached to his lips. Question after question filled his brain, just imagining it felt fed up, what if the reality was like that. The orange pinched his forehead which felt dizzy.


His eyes closed, trying to calm his mind which was currently raging. She wished she could throw away all her bad thoughts about her husband when she opened her eyes. Those beautiful eyes closed for a few minutes and upon opening them, Orange gasped in shock.


"Mas Alan! " he said in astonishment as Alan's nose was only a few inches away from his face. Alan's body lowered with both hands resting on the back of the sofa making the orange unable to move.


"Remove, Mother! I'll take a shower." said Orange with a stiffened face. The tiny-lipped woman was indeed trying to avoid Alan. His heart was in doubt with the man. But, there was no way he would directly accuse her for no definite reason.


Alan put away one of his hands resting on the head of the sofa, giving a gap to the orange to shift his body. Alan felt something strange from his wife's gaze. The orange that used to shout excitedly when welcoming him home, now looks stiff even the black eye bead continues to dodge when Alan's eyes look at him.


"Ngga..don't go first!" alan said by looking at Orange who was shifting the body and will rise from his seat.


"I'm gonna take a shower, Mom! " orange said without looking into Alan's eyes. Orange was moving, but not yet entered the room Alan had cornered him on the wall, even his hands locked the position of Orange.


The woman still did not want to look at Alan, she turned her face away from Alan's face which was only a thin distance away. What Jingga did made Alan feel neglected. His heart was slightly disappointed with the orange attitude.


"You why? " he said by pointing at his wife with his chin. It can look hard character Alan who is currently more domineering.


"I just want to take a shower! " orange replied unable to cover the feeling of wanting to avoid Alan. But that's what makes Alan even more upset.


"You're my wife, you shouldn't have shied away from me like that." Alan said with great emphasis, his gaze blaspheming like he wanted to knock out the stubborn woman in front of him.


"A-aku buk.... " kalimatnya menggantung lu****n bibir Alan berangsur membekukan kekuatan Jingga untuk melawan. Jantungnya berdesir, mengisyaratkan syaraf seluruh tubuhnya kini seolah melemah.


"Don't test my patience, Orange Andini! " it's full of emotion. Alan then left the room with mixed feelings, upset, disappointed and guilt because his actions were out of control.


Meanwhile, Orange just fell silent after what Alan did to him. His chest was still beating irregularly while his hand rubbed his own thin lips, "not like this, Mas Alan! " he muttered with disappointment. His first kiss has been taken away in anger, though he realizes Alan deserves it all.


The night was getting late, Alan did not see Orange out of the room, he accidentally opened a little door of his study in order to see Orange when going down. There was guilt in his heart after the incident earlier this afternoon, an emotional impulse that just blew him out of control. No, that's not the way to vent emotions, regret is present after his common sense is able to think well.


Alan stood staring at the image of his design held on the special table. Curiosity ransacked his feelings until he just stood by staring at his unfinished work.


"What's wrong with the orange? Why is he avoiding me? Is he interested in the campus? " a lot of questions are currently anchored in his brain, plus the feeling of anxiety because he realized that Orange has not eaten dinner.


Almost midnight, Alan decided to see Orange, his wife who used to not lock the room while sleeping, it was very easy for Alan to see it.


Alan went into the room, approaching a small body curled up with a blanket that almost covered his entire body. Alan scrunched his forehead as there was leftover water in the corner of his closed eyes.


"crying? Why...? " The white man just scrunched his forehead. Still curious, Alan left the room orange girly nuanced. Letting the orange calm down at this moment according to him was a good choice.

After the lecture hours were over, Jingga decided to go to the library. Very lazy he to quickly get home because of the unclear problem.


Flashbacks


Seeing the orange still silent, made Alan undo his intention to ask what made him curious.


Today they leave by car because the drizzle that never subsided since the morning evening.


Flash On


The orange runs between the ranks of the bookshelves. This time, he only wanted to read a fairy tale book to shift the weight of his mind. His brain was already too muddled thinking about the adult life he had just lived.


The tiny hand flailed through the ranks of books on the top shelf, but still not until.


"This is yes..? " the baritone's voice made Orange turn.


"Sir Arga. " the lyrics are when a tall guy who is already standing nearby.


"Yes, Brother! " jangga continued by glancing at the book held by the BEM chairman.


Arga then smiled towards the beautiful girl in front of him and handed her the book she had just picked up from the shelf.


A notification rang out from Orange's phone, making the girl immediately open the message someone had just sent.


[Come on the road, we wait in front of the campus (me, Nelly, Tiara)]


[Ok]


Orange opens the message that was just sent by Daniah.


"Sorry, Brother. I have an appointment! " said Orange with a bad feeling. Gegas, the woman who is currently wearing a dress with a length below the knee combined with sneakers was out of the perpus with a hurry.


His smile was glistened when he saw that his two friends were already standing by the side of the road.


"Where's Tyara? " ask Orange at Nelly and Daniah.


"Take the car in the parking lot! " answer Daniah by playing a game on her phone.


A moment later the red-colored jaz car emerged from the parking lot, making the three immediately go inside.


"Eh, where are we going?" ask an orange who does not know the plans of his friends.


"Eat! All day we've been cramped in class. " said Tyara still by staring at the road ahead.


They stopped at a cafe that was rame, but quite comfortable. Like other young people, they walk by throwing jokes without caring about the person who was watching.


Orange strides ahead when entering the Planet cafe. Her gaze circulated throughout the room wanting to find the right seat, but how shocked it was to see a woman with outstretched hands clasping her husband's hands.


"Loh, Miss Dea! " nelly's chirps are clearly heard in the ears of the orange.


As the tiny face paled, his body slightly darted backwards with his hands holding the table beside him. Her tears just shed, no matter if there are a lot of people.


"Mas Alan.". "glued with increasingly tight chests, as the eyes were clearly staring at two people sitting by the window.


Seriate.


Don't forget to leave a trail....
