We, Without Me

Be happy?

A few tens of minutes passed from Ara's wedding party which was over, Yuki was still standing in the hotel lobby. Not knowing what he was thinking, he just reasoned that there was a sudden job to be completed. Practically Yuki did not join Ara and Dimas' entourage to go home.

Now the slender legs hidden in the long canal dress are stepping slowly, but with confidence. The approach of an adult man who a while ago became the topic of warm struggle of single girls and miraculously also some women who have married. Of course because of his face that is too beautiful, his promising job and label as the younger brother of the groom whose status is still single.

Right, the man who was pensive on the soft sofa of the hotel lobby, staring straight at the reflection of the twilight behind the glass wall was none other than Dion.

“Again heartbreak? Tangled really that face that has been stocked with charm ..” said Yuki giggled amusedly. He stood three steps ahead of Dion. Folding his hands while lowering his gaze towards Dion who was sitting down.

"Really, right?" yuki said again. He nodded his head to the left and right of his serhythms.

The next second Yuki sat down next to Dion, of course, on a different sofa chair. All of Yuki's movements were clearly observed by Dion in silence.

Reviewing the thin smile, Dion glared at the twinkle of happiness that radiated in Rava and Ara's eyes. “What makes a heartbreak if two people we love are happy?” dion replied to Yuki's question with another question.

“Mas Dion happy?”

“There's no reason for me not to be happy, Ki. Anyway actually our main problem is not to be unhappy, but when was the last time we felt happy.”

“True.” Angkuk Yuki.

“So why is Mas Dion's face tangled if not heartbroken? Or do not-don't be upset yes mostly given the same name card ciwi-ciwi earlier?” Supporting her chin with one hand resting on her knees, and her head tilted, Yuki boldly looked at Dion's pair of eyeballs that were twitching softly towards her. The two eyes were turned upside down, locked long enough in silence with different feelings for each other.

“Just think life is funny. Though we just need to be grateful, enjoy every flow of life that we actually know will not be smooth forever. Even sometimes the stumbling block that exists we already know its existence. If you say I'm upset, right .. But that was it. I honestly used to be upset. Too lamenting the decision to budge before I finally realized to return happy with my own choice.”

Throwing his back on the back of the sofa, Dion's head turned to face Yuki. “Even I who often tell others to be happy can also forget to be happy ... Forget happy? Yes maybe that's the term,” continued Dion said.

Smiling wryly, the corner of Yuki's lips that were pulled upwards felt a twitching pain. “I never forget to be happy. But I am happy who likes to forget me. He even cheated, the loyal one was just sad.” Yuki raised his face, staring at the west-leaning radiance of the sun behind the glass wall .

“Not happy who cheated, but you .. You are too loyal to sadness. You are happy waiting to be picked up. If it wasn't in this place, it would be somewhere else. Each stop has its own happiness. So, do not give up easily and easily justify the situation from a subjective point of view.”

“In his sentence, Mas,” muttered Yuki slowly, but still Dion could listen.

A moment of silence struck both. There was no talk interspersing the constant breath that was blown from the pair of nostrils of Yuki and Dion.

A split second later Yuki turned her head, commenting on the smile on Dion who had already looked at her first. “The smell has moved on,” said Yuki deliberately teased Dion.

The man who was sitting with Yuki has been caught since the initial meeting by sensitive signals Yuki if it saves the taste of Ara, Yuki's best friend who is now officially Dion's sister-in-law.

“According to you?”

“Maybe it has been, but it may not have been. Say move on is simple, but the pathin is more complicated than the derived physics formula.”

Dion straightened his back while taking a sidelong seat, holding the palms together over the thighs with the fingers intertwined. His face instantly turned serious. He shone on the side of Yuki's face.

“I think I started to move on because of you,” said Dion suddenly still with a serious look, although the tone of his voice sounded relaxed.

"Pff! Not funny," Yuki replied with a burst of laughter and a flick of a palm in front of her own face.

"I'm serious."

“Hm,” dehem Yuki indifferently. But believe me his heart wants to jump out because of the loud thumping.

Poking out a twisted and circularly strung tissue the size of his little finger, Dion said, “ayo we studied seriously both, want?”

“I mean? Ha ha ha, lu-cu ..” says Yuki. His hands again fluttered repeatedly in front of the heated face. Meet like a ripe tomato on a tree. “Ng-no, don't have much to joke about, yeah! Swear not funny.”

“Why not believe? It took 5 minutes to give me an answer?” Dion is undaunted by Yuki's denial. He is still calm. Even the ring from the tissue was still thrust at Yuki. “Or need 50 minutes? This is me seriously, not kidding. You know the affairs of the heart can not be made jokes?”

Yuki's body was sculpting awkwardly. His neck hinges were as rusty, unable to move anymore. Even to swallow saliva alone he had difficulty. The base of his tongue is a kelu, the esophagus is like being blockaded with a thick bulkhead. Yuki had never expected to be in such an awkward situation like this.

“You also have to move on, right? Destiny has already been blessed, why are you surprised? Let's both move on."

Dion opened Yuki's palm, putting her artificial tissue ring into the hand of the girl who was glaring and gawking. For a moment Yuki stared in fury with a frowning forehead deep on a roll of tissue the size of her ring finger. The next second she placed the fragile ring onto the sofa, right on the side of Yuki's thigh.

“Back my head ... Weight-weight!! I can't get diginiin,” yuki's whine is upset. His left hand squeezed hair, while the five fingernails of his right hand were like pecking at a throbbing temple.

“Oke .. If 5 minutes or even 50 minutes is not enough for you to think, I give you 5 thousand minutes from now to think carefully. So in the next 3 days 11 hours 20 minutes you should have an answer for me. Now, come ...” Dion's palm opened, stretched out to hang in front of the confused Yuki.

Turning her eyeballs lazy, Yuki looked at Dion cynically while saying, “is there any mode of movement here? Wah sepah .. Still hanged have dared to hold-hold.”

Yuki stood up, brushed aside Dion's grasp while shaking in disbelief. While Dion just smiled casually because Yuki was not daydreaming anymore.

“Sometimes being too confident is not good,” whispered Yuki while grinning. Passed away from Dion with mixed feelings. Once again Yuki shook his hands in the air as if a lot of smoke was billowing from the head that should be removed immediately.

Yes, Yuki is learning to sell expensively. But he also completely did not believe the sentence that Dion had just uttered.

Learning from experience, his love is never blind, only super stupid. Yuki always knows when he should stop, but always his stupid side chooses to stay. Therefore, Yuki now wants to think more intelligently and logically so as not to return to grimacing fate.

“Fighting is too annoying if only half way. You can fail before you fight completely. You know for yourself" said Dion, who has now equalized the steps on Yuki's right side. The man is late chasing Yuki for looking for a tangled ring that has fallen under the sofa.

"I'm sorry I found someone upset. Tau gini mending I follow Ara home," Yuki grumbled deliberately to raise his voice for Dion to hear.

"Without interest, you wouldn't be more likely to be with me who he says looks upset."

Checkmate. What Dion said Yuki couldn't deny, but it wasn't entirely true. Yuki only felt like she understood how the pain of love clapped one hand. Even Yuki felt sorry for Dion who initially had to compete with his own siblings to be a witness on a historic day not too long ago.

"You're not going to Ara's house? We're both going there" said Dion.

"I told you there was work."

"It must be because of me, right? Turns out you can be sweet too, in addition to bringels of course."

"Sokay know!" ketus Yuki's.

"That's why you accepted me so that I wouldn't know anymore" Dion replied with a wink.

"Mas Dion is being flirtatious?! I'm afraid to know!" yuki complained while shivering in horror.

"Mahaha ...." Dion's laughter broke to find Yuki's face whining bitterly.

"Udah, come on, I'll drive you home. Or take a walk? Mumpung is still beautiful," said Dion while reaching for the car keys from his pants pocket.

"No, make it difficult to wear a dress. Go home, work tomorrow."

...----------------...

Tiins ...

Dion's long honking sound unintentionally sounded. Squashed his hand that was about to hit the forehead from the head that lowered.

"What have you done, Jon?" ask Dion to himself.

"It can be spontaneous to move on together. Where's your brain?! He must have felt I was making an impingement. Though yourself ... Arghj ... Goddamn bum!" Dion is self-deprecating. Feeling guilty for his presumptuous attitude towards Yuki, but also not denying the relief that slowly filled the void in the chest.

For a moment a thin smile adorned Dion's disheveled face. "Am I really in love again? This fast? It's crazy!"

Dion breathed a rough breath, pulling his hair back. The glance of the mobile phone vibrates, the name 'Bang Rava' that calls. The shifting of the green icon on the screen to receive the call while returning to spur the car that deliberately pulled over on the quiet streets. Faintly Dion could hear the voice of the woman who had been imprinted in his heart was saying a strand of attention to Rava.

Of jealousy? Of course the jealousy was still approaching, although it did not give a painful stain, only a wry smile remained. And this is what Dion had regretted about himself, it turns out he still keeps the name Ara in his heart, although Dion is sure not in the meaning of love.

Now, whether to be grateful or return to cussing his carelessness that was too carried away, Dion seemed to find something that re-energized his life. Obviously Dion can guess there is a name Yuki this time in the story that will come.
