The Part 66
By mutual agreement, trials to prove, that Bagio does not remember his nightmare, because of the Sucitra sleeping beside him, then done.
If last night it was Bagio who wore a blanket, this time the situation was reversed.
Sucitra wore a blanket that covered up to his stomach, and Bagio slept next to him by propping the blanket.
However, even though the two of them did not come into direct contact, Bagio still felt bad, because he had to lie that close to Sucitra.
To the extent that, Bagio could not even fall asleep immediately, and it occurred to invite Sucitra to talk first.
"Magazina! ... Do you have any advice, so I can quickly lose my weight?" ask Bagio, open up the conversation.
"Hm ... No one can do it. Want to not, you really have to be patient" replied Sucitra.
"If you are told to choose, do you choose not to eat, or do you eat but spit out again?" ask Bagio.
"Plac!" As fast as lightning, Sucitra's palm landed on Bagio's forehead, without Bagio ever dodging it again.
"Ouch!" Bagio grimaced in pain.
"Don't fuck around! ... Do you have time to think, to lose weight you use these ways? You must have gone crazy" said Sucitra.
While listening to Sucitra speak, Bagio rubbed his painful forehead.
"If you want to reduce the portion of food, it is still okay," said Sucitra.
"Let me just eat a little, but the food on set, the average fast food. Fried, or bread," said Bagio.
"Bckck! ... What's the point of your manager? Ask him who goes out, buy him another meal," said Sucitra.
"Hana seemed scared to leave me on set. Because I'm still not normal," said Bagio reasoned.
"Then tomorrow I will contact the restaurant, which is where I usually order my food. Order food there later," said Sucitra.
"Now you sleep! Don't think of anything weird! I'm sleepy" continued Sucitra again.
Sucitra then tilted his body facing towards Bagio, and placed one hand on top of Bagio's chest, like he was hugging Bagio there.
It felt like not long ago, Sucitra positioned his body like that, the sound of Sucitra's breathing sounded slow and regular.
Maybe now Sucitra is asleep, while Bagio is still not sleepy.
Bagio turned his head towards Sucitra beside him, and it seemed that it was indeed the assumption of Bagio, that Sucitra had indeed gone to dreamland.
In disbelief, Bagio looked at Sucitra's calm-looking face, as if there was nothing he needed to worry about.
Is Sucitra not afraid, if Bagio took advantage of his negligence?
But it feels like Sucitra is indeed no fear, because Sucitra actually had invited Bagio, to try new 'things' at that time.
From such a close distance, with a little light from the outside of the room, which crept in from the window glass that had forgotten the curtains closed, Bagio could still clearly see every part of Sucitra's face.
If Bagio is not dating Citra, is it possible that Bagio is even dating Sucitra?
Or just like now? A close friend who can share everything.
Because in addition to the discussion about his work, Sucitra never told me if he had a girlfriend or not.
Sucitra also never told Bagio, if he was interested in Bagio, in the sense of such an attraction between women and men.
Over time, Bagio who looked at Sucitra, finally fell asleep, and did not remember anything else.
***
When Bagio woke up and opened his eyes, it seemed to be too early, as there was no visible sunlight outside the window.
Apparently, Sucitra was still asleep hugging Bagio, who was now both under the covers.
Holy hooch!
Bagio realized that the skin of the Sucitra times, now in direct contact with the skin of the legs of Bagio, who only wears shorts.
Not only that, which affects the heart rate of Bagio who is now starting to increase sharply.
Sucitra's face was stuck near the neck of Bagio, until the woman's breath, like being tickled by the neck of Bagio now.
It is a conflict-prone situation, if men and women sleep on the same bed.
Although something from his own has begun to stiffen, but Bagio does not want to take advantage of the situation that could harm Sucitra.
Slowly, Bagio shifted Sucitra's hand over his chest, then Bagio shifted so that his body could be slightly away, and not in direct contact with Sucitra.
Bagio then fumbles on his phone, which he remembers putting on the table a small drawer near his bed.
By looking at the display on the screen of his phone, Bagio so know, if it is still two hours past a few minutes.
If Bagio goes out and takes a shower now, then later in the day, it could be sleepy at work, due to lack of sleep.
Bagio then closed his eyes again, hoping that he could continue his sleep.
***
"Ear morning. Did you not work today?" Sucitra was seen getting out of bed, and standing near it, wrapped around the towel on his body.
In a hurry, Bagio got up from his bed, then looked at the clock on the wall.
Bagio could breathe a sigh of relief, as he did not oversleep, as it was still half six in the morning.
"I have a schedule this morning" said Sucitra. "You want to go to the bathroom together?"
"Yes," said Bagio, as he got out of bed, and pulled his towel, then walked after Sucitra.
"I don't remember, if you were delirious or nervous last night" Sucitra chirped, as he and Bagio walked down the stairs.
"Did you remember you were dreaming?" ask Sucitra.
"No," said Bagio, who suddenly remembered how he had to hold back, so as not to torture Sucitra last night.
"Why is your face touching?" asked Sucitra, with a look of confusion.
"It's okay" said Bagio.
Fortunately, they had arrived in front of the bath, so, Bagio could rush inside, and Sucitra could not ask for more.
Because it is impossible for Bagio to tell Sucitra, that Bagio suddenly felt ashamed, because he remembered his weapon that was ready to fight last night.
But....
If you hear the word Sucitra, most likely, Bagio last night did not have nightmares, because Bagio also did not remember anything about it.
Is it because of Sucitra? Or because of the yoga practice he does?
For some reason, Bagio did not really want to think about the reason, which is important, Bagio no longer felt tired in the morning.
Bagio did not care much, if he really had to use Sucitra, to eliminate his nightmares.
Because if this continues, then the mental state of Bagio may be getting better, and only his anxiety remains that he must be able to overcome.
Inevitably, Bagio did have to be selfish, and use all the means he could use, so that he could remain a normal person.
Because Bagio did not want to, if he had to be put in a mental hospital, as said by one stylist, when Bagio was in one of the shooting locations at that time.
***
"The drugs that were prescribed later, it seems to be a good fit for you" said Hana, as Bagio had just taken a break from the first shooting session, and was replaced by another model.
Bagio was silent for a moment while thinking about Hana's words.
Drugs given by psychiatrists, to be consumed by Bagio a few days ago, according to Bagio, it seems that the shape and color of the drug, is different from what is usually used.
"Why indeed?" ask Bagio.
"Yourself ... These two days look fresher than usual. You didn't have any shock yesterday either, did you?!" Hana.
"Oh, yes ... I forgot to tell you yesterday, today you were asked to come to the police station. Listen, Mr. Harto—'s family father Sarimunah— asks that you can make peace with him....
... Mr. Harto has realized his mistake, and wants to apologize to you. It is up to you to make peace or not, because the legal process is still going," said Hana.
"Don't he make peace, he could be released from prison?" ask Bagio.
"Can't do it immediately ... Because the one who made the report was Mr. Sudirman—Chairman RW," replied Hana.
Forio who was not too keen to talk about Sarimunah's father, who would only make her feel upset, then switched the conversation, saying,
"Hana! ... There was a food stall contact number given by Sucitra, he said the food sold there, not high in calories."
"Oohhh! ... So you've talked to him again?" ask Hana, while checking Bagio's phone.
"Yes ... He came back from out of town yesterday" replied Bagio.
Hana suddenly stared fixedly at Bagio. "Are we talking about the same person?"
"Eh! ... Meanin?" Bagio asked back.
"Cartra ... He called me yesterday afternoon, he said he wanted to talk to you again. Did he call you last night?" Hana looks confused.
After hearing Hana's words, only then did Bagio understand, if they seemed to have misunderstood each other.
"Oh, another! ... I don't want to talk to Citra yet. All I said was, it was Sucitra. He's my roommate in Dorm, "said Bagio.
Hana then understood. "I thought you were imagining. You've scared me."
"Hana! ... Is it true that I have no change? Then I might be put in a mental institution?" ask Bagio, slowly.
"You must not think of such a thing! ... You have to be sure that you will be healed. The proof, these two days you have seemed to improve," said Hana.
