The Romance of Earth and Blue

The Romance of Earth and Blue
PART 29 – Blue, World, and Its Seasons


I don't know what dreams suddenly took hold of Blue last night. Saturday afternoon he was suddenly in front of my house. Whereas previously Blue said that today he had to attend a family event.


“Come to the beach,” he said without further ado.


“Hah?”


Blue showed her an anxious smile as she got off the bike and walked up to me who was just standing in front of the gate of my house. “Ke beach, baby,” he said repeating while scrambling the top of my hair.


“When?” my many.


“Now dong. Gih get ready, or want to wear pajamas?”


I immediately realized my clothes now. Ah shit, why am I even wearing pajamas with this dull barbie picture.


“I'll change first. You come in, sit in dalem,” said I then ran into the house. Pimply. What if Blue ilfill? What if Blue thinks I'm childish.


I immediately entered my room and took a shower very quickly. I also did not want to think too long about the outfit and immediately took a knee-length floral blue dress and braided my hair into two parts.


Mom and Dad were going to Grandma's house, so I had to ask permission by calling. Thank goodness I just came from college. I took my shoes to the terrace and passed by him.


“I want to go out first,” I said to him who seemed to be sitting with Blue in the living room.


“Ya is There. Dad not home yet?” tanyakanya.


I'm shaking. “She said malem. Or nginep,” I turned to him. “abang brave right?


He chuckles. “Ngapain fear.”


He is the most scared person in this house. It must be because there's Blue, so he doesn't admit it.


“Udah ready?” ask Blue.


I'm nodding.


We went on a 2-hour trip. After arriving, we had to walk and do a little bit of climbing. You know, I'm not gonna wear a dress.


But my tiredness paid off when I saw the beach so clean. The waves aren't too strong.


“Big good. I just found out there is this place,” I said in a comment.


“Iya. Little do you know, let's get down.” Blue took my hand and led me down from the top of the hill slowly.


The beach is not too crowded. There were only a few people who seemed to be walking to the dock for fishing.


I always loved the beach. So I immediately took off my shoes and ran around on the beach while enjoying a little pounding from the sea that touched my bare feet.


“Blue, here,” call me a fun one myself.


I saw Blue just sitting watching me running around. He got up and approached me.


“I love the beach. Exciting, siniaan deh let hit the waves,” I said while pulling his hand to get closer.


“I'd rather see you,” he said justu teased me.


“Thou mah!”


“Main gih, satisfied. I want to sit while keeping shoes with your bag so as not to cross,” he said.


I chuckle. “Will not play?”


He shook his head as he walked back to where he was. I was busy with my own world. It feels good when small fish approach out of curiosity.


After playing, I feel tired. I looked over and found Blue still in its original place. His sight never escaped me.


“Stenns?” ask her as I sit right next to her.


“Banget. Thanks for coming here.”


He nodded. “You pack my gift?”


I immediately held the necklace I was wearing and nodded. This is the year's gift from Blue. I really like its simple shape but looks graceful.


“Suitable you use,” he said with a smile.


“Emang yes?”


“You don't believe me?”


I can't answer. I don't know why my self-confidence is so big.


“I'm not pretty,” I mumbled slowly."


Blue held both of my shoulders and I immediately raised my face to turn myself back to drown in those clear eyes.


“Why always insecure?” ask her very gently.


I'm shaking. “Don't know.”


“Earth, I'm physically stuck. You are beautiful, so I like.”


I was really surprised by that answer. “But guys always say they don't look physical? Why are you the opposite?” many wonder.


Blue smile. “That's the guy who lied to him. I think you're beautiful. Maybe we never talked about it all this time. But this time I want to tell.”


I immediately turned my head and turned all my attention to him who seemed to be being serious.


“I liked you a long time ago. On the first day of Ospek, I came early in the morning because all of Yasmin's anterin to SD. Because I was lazy through the corridor, I also passed the back of 12th grade. It turns out that's where I met you. You're on the road ahead of me. Your hair is pigtailed, use a ribbon. You know you were so cute, Earth.


The next day I see you again. But maybe you don't realize, yes you really don't care around. You don't even feel that even 12th graders are interested in you. They saw you walk out of his classroom window.


Two days without intention makes me more curious about you. Be I always leave in the morning even though it is actually the laziest to wake up in the morning. All for the sake of being able to see you.


On the fifth day, I accidentally heard that the 12th grader wants to invite you to acquaintance. So I came early, purposely waiting for you. After that I pretend to walk with you let them know we know.


It turns out up close, you smell vanilla. I like your deck. Unfortunately the seventh day, you are no longer past the back of the 12th grade because you already have a class in the front area. Honestly, it feels like something is missing.


Since then I unconsciously so often look for you among the crowd. Look at you it's always an opium thing, I can't stop, Earth.


I want acquaintances, but I don't have the courage. One day I saw you talking to Bima. I was asking Bima to help me make acquaintances.


But the moment didn't fit because it was your foot on the bandage. You've had an accident, haven't you? I'm concerned. Quite understand also why you sprained because Bima suddenly recognize me.


I just found out your name. Archava Bumi Nusantara's. A unique name that is familiar because I know the sky, your brother. It made my confidence increase.


Because often ngamatin you, I got memorized. If your smile is sweet and not boring, if you are serious time it is always wrinkled his forehead, if sad you just duck while crying.


The thing that made me fall in love the most was your eyes. I know that name matches you. Everyone who knows you will feel that you are the source of life.


So Earth, as your name suggests, you are beautiful with your own charms that you are not even aware of. You are just like your name that can always provide a home and comfort for many people.


Please, don't always be inferior. Even if you remain low. I will elevate you to the highest level until no one else on this earth can lower you.”


Blue looked at me seriously. A small burst of waves reflected from his brownish eyes.


My eyes glazed. I didn't expect such a thing to come out of Blue's mouth that didn't say much.


“Blue-“ I can't even say. It turns out that all my bad guesses about him are completely wrong. I'm so happy to be loved so great, I'm so happy because it's Blue.


“Iyaa,” he chuckles. “don't answer if you don't know what to answer.”


I nodded and made him squash himself.


After that we talked about school friends until it did not feel dusk had arrived. The wind did not blow as hard as before. The sky became reddish in color. It looks so beautiful. We were completely silent to enjoy the sight before us.


I looked over and saw Blue which looked very beautiful. Even from the side, he looks handsome.


“Can I not take your photo?” my question made him look.


Blue seemed confused by my question. “Tumben.”


“It feels like you match dusk. I want to take a picture of you, I keep making wallpaper, can I?” I tried to give him permission.


“Bby. But I don't pinter pose, you yaaa yaa,” he said.


I really didn't think he would agree to it. Blue is very difficult to take pictures. I sometimes wonder why handsome men rarely show their faces on social media. That's something to be proud of.


He stood up and followed all my directions without complaining. There are a dozen photos I took. Blue looks perfect.


“Udah?” tanyakanya.


I'm nodding. Blue sat back to his place while looking at the results of the photo I took earlier for him. “Good. You are talented to be a photographer,” he said.


“Not me. But you are handsome. Not to mention your phone camera,” ucaapku while continuing to boast slide by slide that displays itself.


He just chuckled while stroking the top of my head. When on the last slide I was surprised because the next slide is a picture of me playing water earlier. “When did you take this?” my many.


Blue smile. “Tadi. You're beautiful, aren't you? I became a wallpaper too deh,” he said then took over his phone from my grasp. He really made my picture his wallpaper.


His face was red because of it. Blue knows how to treat women very well.
