38. The Adrift Heart

My heart is so bustling but my mouth can't pull out the characters for you

Only our eyes meet to talk about what is in the heart

We know what we feel the same. For tonight is enough the radiance of our eyes that 'talk''

******

We're still on our way home. The trip we took was not really so far but Bian chose to find a further route to return to my home.

I know tonight's meeting is too short for a newly linked heart. We still want to feel the new togetherness.

Tomorrow we'll be apart for a while. My heart beats so crowded every now and then I turn my head towards my new soul mate. He did the same.

"Bian, may I ask you something." Finally I opened the conversation after at the restaurant, Bian dominated the conversation.

"Yes, you may ask any orchid. I told you once. If you stay away then you'll never know me when I'll tell you what you want to know."

"I want to know when you've liked me?" I saw in the light on the street. Bian smirked his smile, Does he look embarrassed.

"From the first time we met when Natasha and Gege prewedding photos on the beach. I don't know why I like seeing you."

"You ignored me at that moment. Precisely how many times did I throw me out when you took a photo of Natasha." I protested to Bian because I felt he didn't care about me at the time.

"I just wanted to say hello to you only I'm not used to talking to new people so I pretended to throw you out."

"Ah, lie you don't care at that moment."

"Open the gallery on my phone then you'll know that I'm not lying, honey." Bian grabbed the phone on the car dashboard. My face turned red when she called me dear. I want to hear him say that word again.

"Look at the streets, Bian." I don't want Bian to lose focus on driving.

"alright.. Open the gallery, baby." He pressed the word again while giving his phone. I knew he wanted me to call him by the same call. I'm not used to it at the moment.

My finger opens the gallery on Bian's phone. My face warmed with embarrassment. There's a picture of me at Bukit Asri, a gruel shop, in the town square, at the very end of my picture on the beach during the prewedding and the wedding of Natasha and Gege.

"Tian you took my picture without my permission." I squealed angrily.

"You sure will allow it when I take your picture. You only let me take a picture of you while using my services of course?" He laughed and I was so fascinated for the first time when we were both. He laughed so loosely.

"Don't you pretend to offer your photo service when you get home from Natasha's house."

"I didn't offer at the time but remember you suspected that I was offering my photo services. For me it's a valuable opportunity especially since then I started to get to know Dewo and can approach to find information about you."

"You deliberately approached Dewo apparently. Bian, I'm ashamed of your gallery photos. Delete huh?." The photos showed a significant change in my appearance. I can feel the difference from the beginning of Natasha and Gege's prewedding photos to the last photo.

"Dream!! I'm your follower, honey. I've been your fan ever since, there's a curiosity that makes me want to find out the glow of sadness in your eyes when I first saw you."

Bian turned his face towards me for a while then smiled gently at me.

"I admire you when there is absolutely no grudge or harsh words to those who hurt you. You are busy doing a lot of positive things. You inspire me, my dear orchid."

"Thank you, Bian." I said sincerely, That's how he judged me. As I was busy thinking about physical appearance when Bian approached me. Wrestling alone with the words Danar and Diandra. He actually assessed what I did in filling this life not on physical appearance alone.

I thought back to the conversation with Natasha then. Turns out he's better at judging Bian than I am.

"Frog"

"What, Bian?"

"You're not as usual, Bian. You're usually cold as ice." I can't cover the astonishment. Besides I just found out that he can talk at length, he can sulk.

"Because I'm your lover, dear Orchid. Don't call me, Bian." I realized from earlier he gave a code to the call I pinned.

"Sorry, this is only hours. I'm not used to it." I tried to take heart. Bian patted gently on the back of my hand.

"It's okay, honey. We're at your house."

Bian's car entered my yard. My eyes caught two shadows in the living room window but my attention was immediately sidetracked when Bian opened the car door and dragged me out.

I said my greetings and opened the door slowly. There was my greeting reply and the sound of hasty footsteps caught on the ear. There's mama and Dewo in the multipurpose room.

"Eh, Orchid and Bian just got home. My mom is reading a magazine".

I stuck my neck out to see Mama holding the magazine upside down. Dewo pretends to be busy in front of the laptop that just turned on. How lousy my mama and sister's acting clearly peeked at our arrival at the window earlier.

Pupus was hoping we had a conversation in the living room with the presence of Mama and Dewo. Not long ago. Papa emerged from the porch door apparently he had just returned from the kentara store from a plastic package in his hand.

"Your car, son. Wow good as a car when young."

Until Bian came home all my family members controlled his presence. I have to be patient there's still tomorrow to talk to my new soulmate.

***

I had just entered the room when Mama and Dewo were swarming at me like reporters looking for news on the source.

"How Orchid? Is that what you chose?"

"Kak Orchid is the same as Kak Bian? Really?"

"Yes Mama and Dewo." My face turned red and wanted to enter the room immediately. Mom followed me to my room. Dewo chose to go back to his own room.

"Grand, Mama's happy with your choice. Either Bian or Doni they're good men. Go with Bian as best you can. Mama's gonna pray all good for you."

"Thank you, Mama."

Mom came out of my room. Leaving me alone in a pink room. I grabbed a banana doll pillow and made a backrest. My hand typed a message on the device.

"I'll see you when you arrive, baby"

"Yes, Sweetheart. Do you have time to meet at the airport tomorrow? My plane's in the afternoon at 16:15"

"You can tell me when you're at the airport."

"Thank you dear."

"Here you focus on driving again."

"Ready darling. Good night and good dreams."

"Thank you, dear Bian."

I smiled happily putting the device on the nightstand. Wash your face and change your sleep clothes. One day has passed. There is a connection of hearts that will unite us to change the sheets of tomorrow in the journey of life.
