"Brother Langit....," Cherry called out to Langit at front the door of the man's room, Langit who had just managed to shut his eyes darted in shock at her sister's Shouting.
"Why?"asked him in panic, afraid of anything happened to Cherry.
"It doesn't matter," she answered with a quiet chuckle.
"What's wrong?" again, Langit asked, convinced she had something to say, or she wouldn't shout.
"Hehe Kak, let me out." Cherry said it in a bad tone, though she was sure Langit wouldn't allow it, but there's nothing wrong with trying, right?
"No."
Cherry sure enough, even her brother said no before she gave the reason. Langit was ready to close the door of the room and was about to continue his disturbed sleep, seeing that Cherry immediately said her reason why she excused to go out.
"I'm going to go pick Green up, brother, she's going to stay here, please can I?" Cherry begged Langit to let her come out to pick Green up at work.
"Green?"
"Yes she is, she's still at work."
After seeing Green last time teaching homeless kids, Langit discovered a new fact about Green who turned out to be a working student at the same time, Langit was all the more impressed with that figure.
"Brother...," Cherry shook the arms of her brother, waiting for the man to make a decision.
"You stay home, I'll pick Green up."
"But..."
"No more Buts, Cherry, it's been late night!" Langit command was undisputed.
Cherry's shoulder was cave, even though she was so desperate to pick Green up, but nothing to do to against her brother, he'd get angry and drive her to Kalila and Jerry if she fought back, she wouldn't want that to happen.
"Okay, but does Green want to get picked up by you, Brother?"
"Send me the address, I'm on the road now."
Langit went to his room, took his car key and switched his sleeping pajamas with a navy hoodie and black jeans.

Langit and Green were already in their seats, Langit was driving calmly, next to him there was Green who looked like trying to stay awake, and it wasn't out of Langit's sight. Langit smiled slightly seeing that, then gave Cherry's neck pillow to Green.
"Put this on and your neck won't hurt."
Green looked over, not immediately taking the neck pillow. "Use it, you're sleepy, right?" Langit handed it to Green in order she received it. Again, Green remained silent, even in this situation, Green was still thinking of Alta's feelings and her suspicion of Langit.
"The distance from here to my house is about 40 minutes away, so you can have a brief nap when we arrived I'll wake you up." Listening what Langit said, Green's gaze grew deeper. She pulled back her hand that previously would take the pillow, her suspicion of Langit went deeper and deeper..
"I'm not gonna try anything, Green, you just take it easy." Langit changed his language into a more relaxed one, hoping that Green would be able to take it easy on him, not all the time with her suspicious and negative thinking.
"I'm not sleepy," Green said as he yawned.
"You see, your gestures and your talks are contradictive, Green."
Langit attached the pillow to Green's neck, instantly Green's gaze became sharper. "I told you so—"
"I didn't touch you, Green."
"You're doing that again!" Green said as she looked away, looking out at the window.
Langit chose not to respond, he refocused on the steering wheel.
Less than 5 minutes after the incident, Langit could hear a faint grunt emanating from the figure beside him. The figure leaned to the left side, using the neck pillow attached by Langit.
"Oh Green, she said she wasn't sleepy" said him staring at Green with a smile.
The way to his house took 40 minutes, as the man had told Green earlier, but a traffic accident took their way more slowly. Patiently, Langit waited and once in a while looking at Green.
"I'm so sorry, Green, I touched you. Your position should be fixed, If it doesn't, you'll hurt your neck when you wake up." Langit spoke as if Green were opening her eyes, but the object was in asleep or perhaps even in the dream. Langit fixed Green's position invirder not to lean too far to the left side.
Police vehicles and ambulances were appeared evacuating victims who seemed more than one. Green was still closing her eyes, totally undisturbed by the deafening sound of sirens.
"Green, I adore you," said Langit as Green closed her eyes.
"I hope being your friend will help my sister appreciate life even more." He continued to speak, until the traffic slowly returned to normal.
***
When it arrived at home, the time was 11:15 p.m. Langit gazed at Green, calling her name as he patted Green's cheek slowly, hoping Green would open her eyes and wake up
"Green, we're home." Langit whispered in her ear, but she was unresponsive, Green was still shut-eyed. Until the fifth attempt, Green had not responded, not even a hint of the woman opening her eyes, her eyes perfectly closed.
"If I carry her, she'll get angry, if I leave her, she will absolutely be more angry," Langit said to himself. After a quick thought, finally he took Green, carrying the woman to Cherry's room.
"Cher..," called Langit when he had already in front of the door of his sister's room.
"Come in, brother," answered Cherry from inside with a husky voice, like she had fallen asleep.
Langit rose into a room of yellow, carrying Green who didn't feel any distirbances. "Green has been asleep?" she asked, rubbing her eyes.
“sure, already.”
Langit placed Green next to Cherry with full of care. "Put Green shoes off, please, Cher," said Langit after lied Green down.
"Just you, I'm so sleepy."
Willy-nilly, he took off Green's shoes and the pink socks that the woman wore, after he put a backpack that has the same color too on Cherry learning table.
"If you leave, please turn the light off, bro!" said Cherry.
Before Langit actually went out, he looked at Green's innocent sleeping face once again, the tired face was so obvious, Langit ventured to stroke Green's cheek gently. "Good night."
Cherry who hadn't closed her eyes perfectly saw uncommon thing her brother was doing, actially she was desperate to tempt Langit but sleepiness overcame her intent.
Langit quickly left Cherry's room after turning off the light, Green said something that stopped his step. "Alta, don't leave me."
"Who is alta? And where is that man? Why does green always say his name?" Langit asked himself, eager to ask Green directly, but will Green give an answer? Not likely, the woman was hard to approach and seemed to be very private, especially when it came to personal matters.
"Alta, don't leave...."
That name again, Green mentioned it again before Langit completely left the room. Finally he turned, came closer to see Green who had been perspiring with her eyes closed, like she was in a nightmare, he gently took and clutched Green's fingers. "I'm here green."
"Don't leave..."
"Green, I'm sorry we can't be together anymore.""Alta, what's wrong with you? You promised you wouldn't leave me, now why is this? What did I do, Al?" asked Green in a quivering voice. She was taken aback by the sudden presence of Alta and wanted to end their relationship."You didn't do anything wrong, Green, I did, I couldn't keep my words," Alta's voice quivered too when he said it, so it was clear that the man was feeling sorry for breaking his promise to Green."Tell me, what was going on?""I'm sorry, Green, I gotta go.""Alta, please don't leave me.""Green, so sorry.""Don't go."In her dream it was obvious that Green saw Alta turn around, leaving without explaining what had happened. Behind him was a woman in the dark, Green couldn't see the real figure, her face was vague.Green shouted Alta's name, keeping him
Green had returned to her home after a lot of family drama, Langit took her home and explained to her that he was sorry for the misunderstanding, and what he said was still in her mind."Green, I know you're feeling uncomfortable. But thank you for taking my mom so well. I'm sorry for all the misunderstandings, I didn't mean to drag you into my mess.""I hope this is the last, I don't want to be involved anymore.""I promise this is the last one, I do apologize for this."After that both Green and Langit were just silent, both focused on each other's thoughts until the bike of Langit stopped right in front of Green's house. Yeah, Langit drop her by his bike, so he knew where Green's house was.Before Green came home, absolutely Kalila brought her all sorts of food, Kalila even asked Langit to drop Green until the door of her house, invorder to be safe. It's also the reason Langit drove Green on his big a
"You're staying, right?" asked Green as she let go of her hugging.Alta looked Green in the eyes and his gaze was both ugly and guilty. "Sorry, honey, I can't stay, I have to go back to Jogja in the afternoon.""Unfortunately, I think you'll stay, but it's been long time we don't meet, Al, how can we just spent a moment when we both can see each other." Green couldn't hide her sadness when Alta said he had to be back this afternoon, and she had been hoping he could stay for at least two days."Don't worry, I'll be back and visit you again.""When?" asked Green for reassurance."Asap.""All right, but do you promise not to keep going?""Yes baby, I promise."They hugged each other again, and if Green knew what was actually the main purpose Alta came, she might never ask Alta to come anymore, and this could be the last time she gives
Monday morning was a big pain for Cherry, after indulging on Sunday, she still didn't feel up to Monday. Since waking up and finishing the morning prayer, Cherry has been grumbling because this morning the first course would be filled with her brother class, her mood was completely ruined considering how shitty her brother would be if he was already in the class. As a result, Cherry chose to go back to sleep after praying, covering her body with a thick yellow blanket of her own favorite."Cher..," called Langit, knocking on Cherry's bedroom door.No answer from the owner inside, Langit knocked on that door again, harder than previous. "Cher, it's already six o 'clock, wake up!" Still no answer, Cherry pulled her blanket up to her neck and covered her ears with a pillow."Cherry, wake up!" Langit was already in Cherry's room and pulled out the blanket that bound the tiny body with force."Uhhhh, wha
On the way back after dropping Green off, Langit remembered something important, he had to talk to Green about some time ago, the personal incodent of Kalila and Jerry coming out suddenly, the incident that Green and he couldn't help but they should pretend in front of them.."I have to talk to Green," said Langit to himself as he turned around, coming back to Green's house.On the other hand, Green was flirting with her love, hugging and smiling at each other, the happy countenance obviously reflected in their two faces. Green and Alta looked in each other's eyes, and they both seemed to want to prove to the world that there was nothing more beautiful than to be with a loved one. If at this moment they are showing the world, then soon the world will show them that love is not always beautiful.Love, faith and trust will ultimately mean nothing if the one couldn't keep it, when that happened then just prepared to be a friend of regret. If keeping sil
Cherry laughed out louf looking at her brother's face that looked like a boiled crab, and Green didn't take what Cherry said seriously, she just still trying to get Langit to give her phone back."I'll return this later, now I am in a hurry!" Langit swooped away, ignoring Green who was still trying to pick up the phone.After Langit diappeared from the sight, Green cracked on Cherry. "I swear, your brother is very annoying. Did he take your phone too?" asked Geen with a annoyed grin. With her innocent, Cherry shaking her head, it made Green even more ups"Your phone wasn't taken by him while he grabbed my old phone and put it into his pocket!" said Green as she left Cherry.Cherry quickly went after Green who went earlier. "It's okay, just try to understand that uncle," she said as she embraced Green."Sure, he is crazy uncle," Green cursed at Langit in front of his sister wit
A week has passed since Alta visited Green, and since then Langit has kept the distance and limited his communication with Green. Their last meeting was when Langit came to Green's house to return the woman's phone, it was their last both communication and meeting. Because after that Langit went out on a road show to promote his new book. Green never cared what Langit did, but there was one thing that sometimes compelled her to care. Kalila, the woman had always put her in a difficult position, Kalila had always tried to do whatever she could to bring Green and Langit closer, Green felt bad to decline, and finally she could do nothing yet just accepted it. Like today, Saturday night about 7:00 p.m., Kalila contacted her."Hello dear, what are you doing?""Hello, Bun, Green just got home from work, how are you, Bun?" asked Green in as cheerful tones as possible, she didn't want anyone knew how tired she was.Kalila sighed slowly. "I don't understand w
"Ha? You mean you wanna stay here?""Yes.""Have you lost your mind?"Langit gazed at Green with full of meaning. "Why, there's a problem?" asked Langit without burdens.It's like he has lost consciousness tonight. He was weepy on everything and decided to stay at Green's house, Green gave him a straight, pointed look."Obviously there is. You're a man, and I'm a woman. We can't be in the same room, you should be back now. I myself will be in trouble if you, brother is here.""No need to exaggerate, besides we're sleeping in different rooms," Langit answered enjoyably. "Or you want...., " he continued"Stop, don't bother, you filthy uncle!"Green left him pounding her feet, her blood probably would rise if she kept talking to him.."the uncles are more seductive, need a proof?" Langit spoke a little loud, he intensified his seduction of Green, which the woman immediately rewarded
