The Romance of Earth and Blue
Epilogues

Blistering. I leaned against the flagpole while observing the other OSEK participants who were receiving punishment. This is the last day.

It just feels like a waste of my time.

“You'll be performing?” tanya Runa discussed about the show for the closure of OSEK.

I'm shaking. “I'm not interested,” I said honestly.

Runa just chuckled. “Earth, know what? I'm so impressed with you. Your nature is really honest and does not care about anything, I think it is really cool,” he said.

“Still.”

One year is a long time for me. One year brings a lot of problems that come with a sudden. I also never thought that I would be this kind of person now.

“Archava, want to be a representative of the department for speech?” ask a sister level.

“Emm, not ready for anything, sister,”.

“Nothing you can do. After the appearance of this band you advanced yes,” he said suddenly and then left me.

Are all ospek committees arbitrary? Oh come on, I haven't studied at all. What will be discussed in front of these three thousand people?

The band has performed with a song from Dewa19 which is quite jerking.

I think the planning of this event was very bad. After their uplifting music instantly makes the audience listen to boring speech? I didn't think it through. They suck so bad.

It's finally time for me to show up. That level brother gave me a small paper containing the discussion points that I was about to bring.

Fortunately, everything went well, I didn't care if they listened to me or not. The most important thing is that my job is done. When I got off the stage, again I passed Blue. Suddenly, he slowly ruffled my hair while smiling.

“Earth, you are great yes,” he said.

My blood rippled from it. But his behavior invited some people who directly stared at us. I've done enough drama on the ospek show. I clasped his hand and went straight from there.

After the event, the parking lot became very crowded. I was really lazy to cram in with thousands of humans and chose to sit in front of the library while listening to my favorite songs. The afternoon makes the breeze feel so cold. It has been a long time since I felt this calm. Far from the hustle and bustle of humans and their dreams.

“Earth.”

I didn't look because I knew who it was. From the corner of my eye I could see Blue sitting beside me.

“I did not recognize you. You have changed a lot now. So brave. Your hair is also painted? Suitable, so look mature.”

I just kept quiet while listening to her voice that I hadn't heard in a long time.

“I miss you. Why are you saying during this time? Even your friends don't know where you are.”

“I'm not going anywhere,” I replied.

“Long. If not everywhere I should have found you in your old house. But you moved house, right?”

I didn't answer.

“What do you want anyway? I want to go home,” I said.

Blue breathed. “Just want to chat. Haven't we talked for a long time gini,” he said. “kamu how are you? Do you still like rabbits? There is no rabbit farm in my house. Very dear yes, even though if there is still I can make sure you meet the rabbits again.”

“Not much pleasantry, Ru,” I said cut the conversation.

“I miss, Bumi. I still love you. This year I'm looking for you, it's almost crazy not to find you again. So before you go again, I'd like to say that I'm actually in love with you. I never stopped thinking about you one day.

I know your feelings are still the same. So let's forgive each other the mistakes of the past and start over. I promise this time I will not miss you again. After we graduate, let's go to a more serious level so there is no more separation,” he grabbed my hand and held it.

“Blue, it's past.”

“Neg. I still want you to like me playing futsal, you're the one who gets angry with me every time I go to PR, now I've changed, Earth. I'm no longer a naughty schoolboy, which doesn't suit you. I'm trying to change for the better to be able to equal you.”

I released the link of his hand. “Blue, don't live in the past. Now yes now, do not connect the same ones that have passed. One year might be a short time. But everything changed. Like you turned into an active ambis student of the organization, I also changed. It is no longer the Earth you know.

I think you're too rash. We do not know each other's nature at this time. So how can you be immediately sure if we can go to a more serious level?” my many.

Blue is down and silent. “You're right. Sorry.”

I nodded and stood up when I saw the parking lot that was already quite quiet. “Earth, wait for me yes. No matter how you are, you are still Earth. The Earth is always coveted by Blue Space. Forever will not change.”

I smiled and turned and walked away from him.

We're growing up. I'm sure that Blue will think things through wisely this time around. I should be too.

4 Years passed very quickly. I haven't seen Fanny and Kartika for 3 years. Kartika is currently a psychologist at one of the biggest foundations in the city.

Fanny becomes a pediatrician. I am quite happy with the success of my friends.

We met at a cafe on the outskirts of town. It is quite difficult to find a schedule that is right for us because of the busyness of each.

“Oh yes, I want to give you an invitation,” I said while reaching for my shoulder bag.

“You want to marry?” fanny asked in shock.

During these three years we were completely lost contact and had just contacted each other for a meeting this afternoon.

I smiled and nodded.

“Seriously? Same who?” ask again.

“Bi-“

Kartika patting table. “Wait. Let me guess. Blue!” it screamed loudly.

Fanny became equally excited. “Seriously? Geez Earth, you guys are really a soul mate, huh? A blue? Geez.”

I didn't answer that and took out my gold-colored wedding invitation. There I see my name and a man. I put it in the middle of the table.

“APAA?? BIMA?”

“How can?”

I'm just smiling. Their expressions really look interesting. How many times do I want to remember, the shocked expressions of the two of them comforted me greatly.

“Why smile-smile?” I raised my head and looked at Bima who was looking at me in confusion. I shook my head and grabbed him by the arm to cross the wet Adelaide streets after the rain.

“Gak nothing.”

Bima just ruffled my hair and grabbed my hand. The warmth of his skin was really able to dispel the cold temperatures of Alelaide tonight.

And yes, this is my life now. I chose Bima as my last port. Everyone always has a crossroads in life and requires us to choose one path. Ready, every ready, life goes on.

At one crossroads, there were times when I had to choose to go back to Blue or move on with my life. And of course I choose to continue living. I felt sorry for that choice. But it turns out that in the path I took, I was reunited with Bima. With a man who made me believe that true love really exists.

We have not contacted each other for 4 years. I often accidentally met Blue because we were on the same campus. But destiny always works by itself.

Here I am, April 2025 in Adelaide with a man who has officially become my life. A man with sincerity and perseverance who was able to clear all my doubts in looking at the thing called love.

And Blue, will forever remain there, in the deepest corner of my heart as my first love that no one will ever be able to replace. Even so the name of the past, will only be behind.

Blue, thank you for gracing my teenage years. I'm willing to move on, hopefully you'll find your last port.

Greetings, from the Earth that was once your planet.
