Word & Taste

Still feel that?

Elsewhere after the departure of Gwera and Nara, the atmosphere in the soto rice stall they went to was quiet even though the stall was still quite crowded. But there were no words that could make the three of them feel at ease. Until finally Sayyaraa decided to return home by riding an online motorcycle taxi that she had ordered.

"excuse me Haru, my ojol has come. I'm sorry to go home first."

"hhmm." answered Haru briefly.

"Sakura, I went home first yes. don't think too much said Gwera earlier.maybe he just laughed at emotions.kan know for himself how was he at school." pamit Sayyara to Sakura while calming him.

"yes, I will not be sad with the word Gwera kok. He must have had a reason for what he said.You come home hearted yes.sorry I can't get you home." sakura replied with a face that still looked sad even though it had been covered.

"yes, you are also careful.let's brother haru." then Sayyara went with the ojol he ordered.

While Haru and Sakura are also preparing to leave the soto stall.

In the car, Haru still put on a sour face.like angry, upset, but at the same time happy. Sakura who had just seen her brother's face like that also ventured to question her brother.

"sister, why did you talk to Gwera like that? he only helped Sakura, and after thinking that what Gwera said was true. Sakura shouldn't talk about other people's ugliness even if that person had done something wrong to Sakura. If Sakura were treated like that Gwera would definitely not accept it either. Moreover, Siska has apologized and promised not to repeat his actions again" Sakura said at length explaining what was on her mind to her brother.

"But brother doesn't like him to see you like a deck, as if you can't talk about what happened to you at school to your sister. brother does not want you to be hurt again like when you were Junior High." replied Haru memgebu gebu.

"yes sister, Sakura knows.but maybe Gwera's not that. Just now you didn't see that there were many schoolchildren who wore the same uniform as Sakura. maybe Gwera thought if they heard about this problem and spread it could be a new problem again" Sakura answered trying to defend Gwera. because of her closeness with Gwera who was intertwined almost 2 years of school, which is the case, he could understand a little with the way Gwera thought.

"you're sure he just meant it? haru firmly.

" yes sister why always think bad about Gwera?" search Sakura because she feels Haru is always negative thinking on Gwera.

"yes end you always aja belain Gwera. brother still singet when the first time brother met him. at that time you also had problems right.trus time we want to go home, then we want to go home, not accidentally we see him fighting the same thugs at a stop near the school.what's his name if not badung?" haru's refutation of Sakura's accusations that he considers is always negative thinking to Gwera.

"yes yes continue to be aja belain Gwera.sampe segitunya very the deck you belain Gwera? brother so curious, actually you are given what the hell is the same Gwera until it's so good to know him. make sure he's not who. but you continue to answer his brother's talk when it comes to Gwera." oceh Haru is upset with Sakura.

"Gwera tuh already like my own brother in school kak. he always keep Sakura, nemenin Sakura and ngajarin Sakura many things. He also taught Sakura how to fight if there are people who are evil to Sakura." explained Sakura to Haru, so that her brother did not continue to be bad at Gwera.

"is that what you like about Gwera? to think of him as your own brother?".

" yes, brother. Sakura really likes Gwera.if Nara does not like Gwera, surely Sakura will ask sister to be with Gwera." said Sakura while muttering softly.

But unnoticed by Sakura, Haru hears her mumble despite the faintness. And a faint smile from her lips adorned her handsome face.

when they arrive at Haru's apartment, they enter each other's rooms. Haru is still thinking about what Sakura said, that Sakura actually wants Haru and Gwera to be together, not just together, but a lover.

Haru tried to dismiss the thought by shaking his head, but the words of his sister still ring in his mind.to make him smile his own smile imagine how his love story if paired with Gwera? will he date like a lover in general? like a date at the cafe? at the mall? at a tourist spot? or a fancy restaurant as one of his friends said during college?

While he several times inhaled the scent of Gwera's body, whether it was from shampoo or from Gwera's parfume. Never did he forget the scent that made him unable to resist meeting Gwera, often he felt angry if Nara came with Gwera or picked Gwera home. He often can not control himself after picking up his sister home, because when picking up Sakura home then he will meet Gwera and also Nara. therefore, he often returned to the office after picking up Sakura from school and delivering Sakura back to her apartment first before starting her activities to forget the taste that made her unreasonable.

Often he thought about finding out exactly what kind of feelings he had towards Gwera. He didn't want to see Gwera with another man, laughing and joking with another man.Every time he saw something like that, whether with Nara or with her other schoolmates then she will be emotional.

Sometimes it took his mind to make Gwera his whole. Haru even once had plans to utilize Sakura. But his affection for his only brother made him unable to use Sakura.

But after what was heard from Sakura's muttering in the car earlier, made Haru want Gwera again. He used to think, "is this feeling still the same if someday I can't have it?". But now the passion comes again, the desire to have Gwera completely. Even though he said rudely to Gwera, he never meant to hurt her feelings. He just can't reveal what's in his heart, not since when he became like that. As if what he wanted to say and do for Gwera was always not in line with his actions.

Haru did not feel tired in his body after he cleaned himself and always thought of Gwera. He thought about making a plan so that Gwera could be his. Of course with the help of his sister. But what was a hindrance to him at this time was Nara, a close friend of Gwera. yha for a while he just wanted to rest and imagine Gwera being beside him. Without thinking of anyone else who might be around the girl.
