The Romance of Earth and Blue
PART 4 – Awkwardness Blue

It was a foreign voice I had never heard before. I raised my head to look at the source of the voice and found the figure of the man in his yellow jersey who looked wet. Hair disheveled. Shady eyes and sturdy jaws. He's very handsome.

“Who are you?” my great-grandchild.

He reached out to help me stand up. I hesitantly greeted the cold hand. “Let's go out first,” he said taking me down a dark corridor.

We sat in front of the canteen next to the field. It's brighter here because of the semioutdoor. We sat next to him awkwardly. He took out a bottle of mineral water from his black backpack and opened the seal for me. “You're pale. It's a drink first,” he said.

I nodded and obeyed. Some time we were just completely silent. I was busy calming my fears. Looks like my phone is loaded. I quickly opened my backpack. Too bad I forgot to charge. So stupid.

“Why?” tanyakanya.

I'm shaking. “HPku. Want to pick up dad,” I replied.

“School is empty. The others also want to go home. Quanter only yes,” bargain.

I'm unmoving. “Not need.” I may accept an offer from someone I don't know. Totally bonkers.

“Yes if so I'll see you waiting for your father.”

This guy is really stubborn. If you remember, he called my name. But I am sure that I do not know him. I just saw his face at school.

“You know me?” manya curious.

He who is turning on his cigarette turns his head. Crazy guy. He smokes at school? Though it is clear that the rules here should not smoke. “Know,” answered.

I'm getting frowning. “You don't know me?” guess it while diverting cigarette smoke so as not to lead to me.

I nodded slowly. He chuckles.

“Angkasa Blue.”

“Hah?” I didn't hear wrong, did I? I try to see it from top to bottom. Totally different from what's in my shadow.

Though what I think about Blue is a man who always dressed neatly, obeying the rules, basically good students. Things like this I thought about after knowing how to think that broad and amazed me.

“Why? I'm not according to your judgment, yes,” again his guess is right on target. I immediately shook my head. It's not nice to tell the truth.

“Not so.” I'm trying to quibble. “Maybe I'm the one who doesn't fit your mind.” My great-granddaughter realized that I really wasn't ready to see her. Our meeting should last another week.

He looked at me silently as if he was busy with his own thoughts. “Why think that?” tanyakanya.

“I'm not engrossed. From chat.”

He shook. “Same aja. You in the real world just hold all your thoughts as in the chat. I told you, I already know how you are. So there's no need to feel that way,” obviously.

My heart's popping. My stomach feels tingly. Maybe this is what people say about butterflies in the stomach.

“Cock your face red? You have a fever?” his attacks made me more excited. He was about to touch my forehead before I took a step. I could see his face looking shocked by that.

“Engga anything.” I tried to turn my phone back on. Fortunately, it is alive now. I saw some messages from my father asking for my whereabouts.

I quickly returned the message and said I wanted to be picked up. Fortunately, my father quickly replied.

“Already?” tanyakanya.

I'm nodding. “I want to wait in front,” I said hurriedly put my phone in the backpack.

“Bring umbrella?” tanyakanya.

I'm shaking. “Besok-tomorrow bring it, already the rainy season,” he said giving a message.

I walked to the stop with him. Feels weird.

“Gercep highly, Bi. Don't forget the taxes are going to be."

“Oalah Blue is a result of this.”

The sound of the cheering made me even more embarrassed. It was Blue friends who were getting ready to go home. While next to me, Blue just chuckled in response to her friends.

“You go home with your friends,” I said.

“No need. I can do it myself.”

My steps came to a halt when I saw that there was a page I had to pass before I reached the stop. Looks like I have to stretch my heart to get wet again. At least my phone is safe.

I took a breath and got ready for a little run. But before the first step, Blue held my arm. “Ayo.”

I just watched her put her leather jacket over my head. Since when did he have that? it seems like he's been keeping it in his backpack all this time. Seeing me just speechless, Blue turned his head. The look we met. “Come Earth,” he said again. This time more gently.

I nodded and balanced his steps. I can see that cigarette that is still almost intact has just fallen. He was willing to throw his cigarette intact so that his hands could be used to widen his jacket. He could smell his masculine scent and the smoke that was still there. My heart was beating so hard. I hope Blue doesn't hear it.

We finally got to the stop, Blue took down her now wet jacket. Her body was soaked. I thought that during his walk here he also covered himself with it. But it turns out I was wrong. “You're not wet, are you?” tanyanya just make sure my situation.

I'm shaking. My tongue. “You get wet,” I said.

He even chuckles. “Gak nothing.”

I'm sitting there. But Blue just stood there staring at the rain that did not subside. “You're not sitting?” my many.

He looked and shook his head. “I'm wet. If I sit down later you will be a wet follower,” he said.

The seats at the stop are narrow. “I have no problem.”

“Do not, Earth. Later sick.”

I went back to silence.

“Olimpiademu tomorrow day after tomorrow right?” tanyakanya.

“Iya,” answer.

“Well, so don't get sick. Spirit yes.”

“Still.”

Next came only silence. I really wanted to know what was on Blue's mind just staring blankly at the rain.he was carrying his backpack which was a box with half a shoulder only. His left hand was inserted into the pocket of a gray uniform.

Judging from behind, his style was indeed really typical of free High School students. His messy wet hair actually makes him look more attractive. It's not too high. Maybe 170 or 168? I'm not sure. The body fits the height of the body. From behind his back was wide and sturdy. The masculine scent on him was still smelled though not as great as it was.

“Udah satisfied see?” Blue turned her head and floated her shady smile making me waver and immediately took my eyes off her.

“I engga-“ ah shit. Even I can't keep going.

Blue chuckles. “You're funny if you're embarrassed,” comments.

Fortunately, I didn't have to get any more wrong because my car finally came. I stood up straight. Dad opened the window and looked confused observing Blue.

“Oom,” greet Blue politely while bowing your head.

“Beauty Earth huh?” ask dad.

Blue does that. I hurriedly opened the door and entered.

“Blue, thanks yes.” I said before I really left him.
