Farel flinched and froze for a few seconds as Rachel actually kissed him, right on the lips.
But their lips didn't touch because Rachel put her hands together so Rachel kissed her own palms. But still their distance was very close until Farel glared so surprised.
"Here."
Rachel did not waste the opportunity and immediately snatched the ice cream plastic in Farel's hands. But suddenly Farel clutched Rachel's wrist that covered her mouth, then with a quick movement Farel brought the face closer to Rachel's face then...
"Farel." Rachel closed her eyes tightly when Farel's lips were so close to hers.
"Sorry." Farel's breath hit Rachel's face as she said that. Slowly Rachel opened her eyes. And his glare's eyes met Farel's eagle's eyes were still in close range. Even if Farel moved a little, their lips would touch.
"Gue didn't mean to be insolent but... I'd love to kiss you, Rachel."
"Friends donut kiss, Farel. No friends kissing."
"A little can't?."
Farel's autopilot car slowly lowered its speed when in front of the traffic light showed a red light. Then..
Geck...Geck...
"Yahoo, jreng... Love one night oh lovely love one night..."
Farel and Rachel instantly kept their distance, sitting upright in their respective seats. Suddenly the mood became awward. Rachel lowered the glass and gave some money to the two small buskers.
"Thank you, pretty sister."
"Together."
Rachel left the windshield open and threw a look out the window. While Farel holds the steering wheel of the car, only to busy themselves even though the autopilot car that can automatically run itself without being driven.
Silent long enough, busy with each other's thoughts. Farel was busy looking for the topic while Rachel was busy damping her heartbeat.
More than ten minutes passed by and Farel finally cleared his throat.
"The ice cream lo. Cepet eat later thaw," Farel put the plastic in Rachel's lap.
Rachel did nothing, took one of the ice creams and ate it right away.
Then silence again.
Rachel was busy eating while throwing a glance out the window. While Farel repeatedly glanced at him.
Farel was still thinking hard about finding a topic of conversation. But because on the runway of nervousness, Farel could not think clearly other than thinking about his lips that almost touched Rachel's lips earlier.
Farel cursed to himself for saying that to Rachel. Obviously, their relationship was just friends. Friends can't kiss. Except change their status to more than friends.
"RACHEL." Farel could not stand it anymore and finally shouted. Rachel was so shocked.
"By the way dong!, from earlier you were taken."
Hearing Farel's whimpering and face, Rachel could not help but laugh. Rachel also wanted to chat but was confused as to what. It is impossible to talk about good kissing tips and right?.
"Yes, you were also from earlier in the day. I don't think you want to talk to me."
"You, I want to talk to you about anything."
"Chat what? beware, I want to give advice to you. Mending you less-less watch Blue movie you're not so perverted. Until temen lo lo own mesumin. I deg-deg an deket same lo, fear suddenly lo apain me."
Farel chuckled, Farel did not deny it either because he wanted to kiss Rachel several times. But for something more intimate Farel never thought of getting there. Farel knew the limits of being an adult male to a female without any marriage ties. His promise not to ruin Rachel was still imprinted in his heart and Farel would never deny it.
"When the hell I watch blue movies, most also Rendy tuh if come to apart continue watching CD on my tv. I don't want to see dong. But not until addiction like that lo banyangin until I change that semesum. And about what I said earlier that I wanted to kiss you, I..."
"Yes, I know I'm just kidding."
'Gue wasn't kidding Rachel I wanted to kiss you' Inner Farel who didn't dare to say for fear of them being awkward again.
Along their way to the hospital, they argue over things and talk about random things. Mutually annoyed, angry with each other and finally they laugh.
***
Arriving at the hospital, after putting the car in the parking lot, they headed to Luna's ward. Throughout the hallway, they are not always joking but still keep the volume of sound so as not to disturb others. As usual if they are together, they will be busy with their own world and others just contract.
It didn't feel like they had reached Luna's nursery.
Rachel opened the door with a big smile.
"Luna."
Luna who was talking to Dilara turned her head.
"Rachel." The girl's smile expanded while stretching out her hands.
Rachel ran over to Luna and hugged Luna who was still sitting in the gurney.
"Dad I was also a smirk."
Rachel took off a hug, "You're going home now, right? but how come you haven't changed your clothes?." Rachel was astonished to see Luna still wearing hospital clothes.
"Yes, Rachel. Tadi Aunt also told Luna to change clothes but she instead whined to buy fruit. But Auntie does not have the heart to leave two alone so Aunt waiting for you here and Auntie out for a while to give fruit to the mother's gemoy."
Dilara pinched her daughter's cheek in a fit of anxiety. Then look away at Rachel.
"Rachel want to accompany Aunt out for a minute?."
"Okay, Auntie." Rachel approached Luna and ruffled her hair, "The tall Gemoy, for your sake I'm willing to go out again."
Rachel chewed on Luna's cheeks briefly tore out of the room while holding Dilara's arm while Luna threw a pillow towards the door. Upset because Rachels was very jaily, but before long her smile expanded. Luna is like a sister who is in jahili her brother.
"Rachel's very jail." Luna's fight on Farel.
Farel chuckled, "Yes that's Rachel."
Farel took the pillow that Luna threw earlier, then put it again right behind Luna's back to lean.
"Take a wait for Aunt Dilara and Rachel to come back you should change your clothes first."
Luna nodded and went to the bathroom to change clothes. While Farel tidied up some of Luna's belongings and put in a large enough bag that seemed to be provided by Dilara as a container of Luna's goods.
Before long Luna emerged from the bathroom, looking beautiful with a short-sleeved knee-length dress in blue. Luna had taken a shower and changed her clothes.
"Farel, look." Luna spread the side of her skirt.
Farel smiled, "You're so beautiful." Luna was very sick even without decoration.
"You know, most of my clothes are all blue."
"Oh yeah?."
"Yes, you know why?."
"Why?."
"Because you like blue."
Farel who was sitting on the edge of the gurney was cuddling. He has always loved blue.
Luna approached and stood right in front of Farel. Farel looked up slightly to look at her beautiful face.
"I want to say something" Luna reached out and rubbed Farel's jaw.
"What's the matter?."
"On your statement of feeling and I ask you to wait another 30 days, I cancel it."
"Cancel? You mean you're rejecting me?."
"Not." Luna shook her head while smiling. "Lately I've been pondering my feelings, diving deeper into my heart and thinking more about our friendship from childhood until now. Since childhood you have shown me how you feel. I think it's just a joke because we're kids. But you are consistent with your feelings until we grow up. Until finally about two weeks ago you expressed feelings to me."
Luna bit her lower lip nervously.
"Yesterday when I saw you getting too close to Rachel I felt jealous. My heart hurts so much, Farel. And that's when I realized that I love you. I was too comfortable in our friendship status, until I didn't realize that I loved you all along. I need you and can't get away from you."
Farel. This moment is what he waited for the most for 20 years, the moment when Luna reciprocated her feelings of love. But somehow it felt normal, not as happy as Farel thought.
Luna grabbed Farel's hand and clasped tightly.
"So morning I sent a message to Om Hendrawan and said I would stay away from him. Om Hendrawan refused and was almost angry with me. But I'm determined to stay away from her so Rachel doesn't get hurt sharing your affection with me."
"But I'm also afraid of feeling lonely. But after I think about it again, I am sure after thinking that you will mwnyanyangiku sincerely. You will always be there for me more than anyone. You can be a lover, a friend or a father figure to me. With you, I don't need a man anywhere."
"I don't need Om Hendrawan's affection as a father anymore. With me staying away from Om Hendrawan Rachel must be happy Om Hendrawan's attention poured out on him. We can all be happy Farel."
Farel was silent again. His mind raged. Everything Luna said had a point. If Luna gets affection from her, Luna will not be busy looking for attention from Om Hendrawan so Rachel does not need to share the affection of a Father.
But if Farel rejects Luna, Luna will certainly be sad automatically Luna confided in Hendrawan. Hendrawan is busy with Luna and Rachel is neglected.
Waving Rachel in tears made Farel's heart ache. Farel wants Rachel to be happy. Farel would do anything for Rachel's happiness.
In addition, Farel has also expressed love for Luna. It was impossible when Luna had already collapsed, Farel just left her. People must have labeled him as a coward and not gentlemnt.
"Farel, you didn't forget you ever expressed feelings to me?."
