The Universe (My)

Fingers

"Every sentence of yours has further ravaged my heart."

🍁🍁

The building as large as a hotel ballroom is transformed like a fairyland. Pastel pink and white shades dominate every decoration and variety of objects.

A girl stands behind a three-tiered pink-white birthday cake.

Before entering, Lucas first took the twilight fingers. Not that Dusk was naive, he had actually already refused. But the rejection always fails and even ends up threatening to fail to bet. Finally he resigned and had to hold back Lucas' fingers.

"Leona's birthday?" ask Dusk, when they just entered the building.

"Yes." Yeah."

Lucas takes Dusk on stage to meet Leona.

"But Dusk!!" Leona who looks beautiful with her pastel pink dress and crown adorning her head–hugs Dusk with great joy.

"Happy birthday, Leona." said Dusk as he took off his arms.

"Please Brother Dusk. Leona's got a big sister here."

Dusk smiled, then seemed to think for a moment. "Leona, sorry."

"Sorry why brother?"

"I didn't bring you a gift, because I didn't know if your sister would bring me here."

Leona laughed casually. "So I'm here, Leona is so happy."

Twilight so feel bad, "Later to the next card, deh."

"Yes, easy."

Leona grabbed the Dusk hand on the right, then alternately grabbed Lucas' hand on the left– position Leona in the middle.

"Your presence is more than enough. Leona was so full of feeling, you were like a substitute papa-mama who accompanied Leona." Leona's tears managed to fall.

Dusk gently rubbed Leona's tears using the other hand that Leona did not hold. "There can be no tears on birthdays."

"The tears of happiness, brother." Leona hugged both of them simultaneously.

Twilight and Leona, they have only met a few times but it feels like they love each other like siblings.

"Ladies and gentlemen!! Tonight is the birthday of Leona Nugroho. Give a thunderous applause!!" MC caught the attention of the invited guests.

"Because tonight the audience has arrived. And Leona has also been accompanied by brother dan–" MC paused his sentence. Waiting for confirmation of who the woman standing on stage is with Leona and Lucas.

"Prospective sister-in-law." cried Leona making twilight cheeks blushing.

"Oh, okay. It turned out that brother and sister-in-law were accompanying the beautiful Leona tonight." the thick-bodied man took a little breath. "Hour has shown at eight. Are you waiting for the core of the show?" ask the audience.

"Yeahahoo!!" compact the whole guest.

"Well, just go straight for the candle blow and cut the cake!!" guests greeted enthusiastically with applause.

With automatic song thumping fill the entire room soundproofed.

*Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday to you

Happy birthday

Happy birthday

Happy birthday dear Leona

Blow out the candle

Blow out the candle

Blow the candle right now

Also*...

Leona closed her eyes, chanting her good prayers. Then blow out the 15-numbered candle.

"Yesayyy!!" suhut MC accompanied by a round of applause.

*Cut the cake

Cut the cake

Cut the cake now

Also*...

The three-storied cake, cut at the very top by Leona. First cake he feed to Lucas, then the second feed he gave to Dusk. Dusk was a little surprised and unexpected. Lucas and Dusk turn to feed Leona.

Some of Leona's close friends immediately went on stage to give speeches and gifts. While Dusk has been brought by Lucas to the food booth.

"Lo why didn't you tell me Leona's birthday was?! I didn't bring any gifts for him."

Lucas grinned casually. "Look out, Nja. You can give a gift anytime, to your sister-in-law's candidate." Lucas deliberately pressed on the word would-be sister-in-law.

"Gue doesn't want to be the same. Don't try to say it!"

"Gue wants to be the same."

"Basic! Mr. Coercion."

"C, Mrs. Denial."

The twilight throbbed irritably, he left Lucas. Head over to the drink area to pick up a glass of juice for him yourself.

"Gue can't be far from you." Lucas had a glass in his hand and was now standing next to Sebua.

"Gue is uncomfortable, followed by you mulu!"

"From now on you have to get used to me."

"Why?"

"Because I'm gonna spend the rest of my life living with you." Dusk chokes at Lucas' words. Not yet drunk.

"Eh, Nja. Is it okay?"

Dusk sipped at once fill the glass. Make Lucas dumbfounded.

"Well what's thirsty, lo?"

"HAUS!" in Lucas' heart, it was so happy. Making Dusk upset was always a happy thing for him.

"Ok guys!! Because there are so many young ladies here, how about we have a romantic dance?" MC started the action again.

"Yeah!!"

"Agreed!!"

"OKs. The music!!" after the MCs ruled, romantic music now took over the atmosphere.

The guests were swept away in the song and the room whose lights were made dimmer than before. Leona even danced on stage with her male friend.

"That's Leona's boyfriend?"

"No, that's the theme. I know her name is Adit." Dusk nodded in understanding.

After a long time just being a spectator, now Lucas extended his hand to Dusk.

"What?" polo Dusk.

"Dance with me."

The evening welcomes Lucas' hands. This time he just did not want to ruin this beautiful atmosphere, let alone his brother Lucas who has an event.

Lucas takes Dusk into the middle of the dance area, joining the others.

Initially the twilight movement is very stiff because it covers up his nervousness, but over time the Dusk drifts in this romantic atmosphere. Lucas and Dusk stared at each other fixedly. Both movements were slow but so beautiful. The longer the deeper the atmosphere. Dusk no longer looked at Lucas, he chose to close his eyes because he felt wrong behavior if he had to look this close to Lucas longer.

"Day twelve, I'm still waiting for your feelings. Don't you love me yet, Nja?" that soft and gentle voice shook the soul of Dusk. Lucas whispered directly in the ear of Dusk.

The twilight opened his eyes again. "Gue's coming back!" Dusk let go of his hand on Lucas' shoulder.

Running as hard as he can to get out of the building, making how many people accidentally hit him. Lucas did not stay silent, he chased after Dusk.

Both are outside the building. Due to being too hasty, the Twilight leg started to weaken while Lucas accelerated his pace. Lucas managed to grab the wrist of Dusk. Hold him down before Dusk tries to leave again.

"Nja, why are you?" Lucas pulled Dusk before him.

"Gue can't."

"Can't what? Can't dance with me? Or, can't answer my question?"

"Gue can't do everything."

"Why?"

Dusk tried to take off his two hands that were firmly blocked by Lucas.

"Gue will take your hands off, as long as you answer, Nja."

"Gue can't give false hope to you!" firmly Dusk.

Lucas's hand weakened hearing the last sentence of Dusk. His heart felt so sore, his brain was no longer able to think. Dusk who felt the opportunity to go, immediately used it well. Even Dusk managed to stop the taxi. Lucas no longer saw Dusk there.

"Fake hope?" lirih Lucas, repeating two words that make him destroyed instantly.
