Love Can Follow
Chapter 27 Looking at the Same Sky

“Daddy greet you yes, son! Unfortunately she didn't know and I'm sorry because she'll never know. Let's fight together, yeah!” Lirih Mina while staring and stroking her flat stomach. He was still on the plane and had not taken off at all. This seemed to give Mina some time to breathe a sigh of relief before she went on a long journey and struggle, fighting alone in the people's country. 

At first he thought so, that he would be alone and no one would know the truth about that side of him, but it was wrong. Upon his arrival in Japan, he chose to rent a small apartment and then did his duty as a student who participated in student exchanges, lectures, practices, and making reports. For the first four months, her life was confined to the area and there was no apparent appearance of her stomach as Mina always wore loose clothing. 

Several times his video call friends himself, which of course included Yungi in it and he still picked it up, conversing as usual ngalor ngidul and his face was made to look happy. Entering the 2nd term he began to get busy with many things and he began to rarely receive phone calls from his friends because he himself had told them that he would be very busy and could not receive a phone too often. Of course his friends and family understood him. 

It was during this period that he met Yuki. They were in the hospital when they checked their pregnancy. They become friends, and Yuki finds out that Mina is alone. It doesn't take long for them to become familiar as the two have almost the same story and after their gestational age reaches almost 9 months, baby Yuki is pronounced dead. It was a great blow for him and it was Mina who accompanied him. They decide to stay together and struggle to raise Mina's child together. 

In many ways, it could be said that Mina was very lucky. First, he had friends to go through the heavy stuff and secondly he could speed up his college exchange program three months ahead of his birth. So, he had plenty of time to prepare for his birth and the new semester. 

During her pregnancy period, Mina admitted that she somehow often misses Yungi. She desperately wants Yungi to accompany her, hug her, stroke her back, or massage her legs. He often picks up his phone, presses something there until Yungi's phone number appears and intends to call him, but then cancels it. Somehow he always like that until a period when his gestational age entered 7 months, Yungi tetiba called him. Mina was shocked, but she accepted it. 

“What, Yun?” tanya Mina started the conversation. 

“Kok what Yun anyway? How long haven't we tried? How are you, ... healthy?” ask Yungi. 

The one in Japan leaning on his bed stroked his stomach gently while smiling. Even so, his eyes were glazed. How he wanted to shout to the man who was making the noise that he needed it most now, but his lips were cupped. 

Yang in Indonesia stood on the balcony of his apartment staring at the view of the night sky in front of him. He was also the same, inexplicably his face made an expression of sadness that the owner of his own face did not even understand why his heart was so sick when he heard the voice of a woman who in fact had the status of a friend but often quarreled with it. 

“Health, Yun.” Mina answered short.

“Kok lemes the answer,” said Yungi as if he could detect something. 

“You want me to go there?” ask Yungi. Nadanya's joking. 

“Bby!” mina replied in a joking tone again. 

“OK, but maybe next week. This week I am still UAS,” said Yungi. 

“Gosh! I thought you were kidding. Don't worry, Yun, anyways I won't have time for your herbs, it'll be next year. I think next year I'll be more free!” sahut Mina gave a reason and more precisely buy time. 

“Uhmm,” muttered Yungi. 

Tranquilo twinkly. 

“Kok I miss you yes, weird!” lirih Yungi's. His voice is quieter. 

“Kangen fight, you mean!” Mina tried to calm down. 

“Ih, Mina I'm serious,” said Yungi. 

“Yes, that must be it. We will never know how valuable someone is until we lose that person. I must have missed me! I'm a precious friend, hahahah!” Mina answered.

“Iya. I do not, you are the best temen,” said Yungi. 

“Still, Yun. I also ngaku, you are the most jerk, hahahaha!” Mina laughed crisply.

“Thou shalt even make a quarrel!” Yungi nyolot's. 

“But I never left you, right?” continue Mina again with a smile. 

Silent again.

“Min, want to see your face dong!” tada Yungi pleaded. 

“Why? important so?” ask Mina.

“Kan kangen!” Yungi.

“By yes! change video call!” yungi said again.

“Ga ah! I took a picture of my face!” mina said again. 

“Udah is it?” Mina asked again. 

“Japanese skywatchers too anyway!” Yungi. 

“Yes already! Same with Yungi! The sky is just that. If you look up at the sky that you see and that I see the same, that-that too,” Mina explained. 

“Ih, you mah! no, no, no! which in you will smell Japanese which in I smell Indonesian,” said Yungi. 

Mina laughs. 

Their faces began to appear on their respective screens. 

“Waah!” Yungi smiled. His face looks bright.

“Why, Yun?” ask Mina wonder. 

“Good skyline!” yungi said because Mina called her against the background of the Japanese sky, while Mina showed only her face. 

“Oh!” Mina answered short. 

Yungi lied. When he saw Mina's face on his screen he was amazed. Mina looked more beautiful and radiant. He exuded a motherly aura and the highlight of his eyes sparkled beautifully emitting a gaze that gave a sense of comfort and calm to his heart. However, he could not get the words out because he thought it was strange if he said that to a friend. 

If only Mina knew that for some reason since Mina left, she was so tormented alone. She was struck by a strange illness or problem and it was all about Mina. The problem he always felt nauseous and vomiting in the morning or afternoon or sometimes in the early hours Yungi considered because his diet was not right, especially after Mina left, Yungi said, his appetite is declining. 

At the same time, he also often wants something very strong, such as food or drinks that he does not even like. Then, when he bought it and was about to eat it, his mind was still reminded of Mina. And according to him, therein lies his strangeness. 

Several times he dreamed he was walking with Mina and in his dream Mina was pregnant and they joined hands to enjoy the morning or afternoon air while sharing a smile look happy. 

At other times, she also dreamed she was holding two babies in her right and left hands and she remembered the babies were male and female. They were very beautiful and handsome and the baby's face was very similar to Mina and herself. 

How could Yungi say all that to Mina? After all for Yungi it is just a sign that he misses Mina too much and it is also unnatural. After Mina was not around, she never played around with any woman. He refused all the invitations and it was always because of the woman who was in school in Japan. 

Yungi realizes fully, he falls in love with Mina. However, he also fully understood that his love was clapping one hand. The only way was for him to forget that feeling and move on with his life. If she expressed her feelings and Mina rejected her relationship with him as a long-standing friend it would be finished already. So, that's the conclusion, forget and move on. But it turns out it wasn't easy. Although Mina was away from her life, the feeling of loss and loneliness pulled her too deep. Yungi only hopes at times that it will solve everything and maybe Mina is right that she needs to find someone who is earnest for her so that she can erase the traces of Mina in her heart. 

Time keeps going. Mina gave birth and just now she was overwhelmed with happiness, her twin had internal problems. The doctor found that both of them had a rare disease that had not been found so the cure that they had just turned one year old, both babies left the world. Mina was hit and she was depressed. Fortunately by the time the baby was eight months old, Mina had already finished her schooling. 

At the graduation, his family and friends were present, including Yungi and when they met, Yungi took a woman named Sandra with him. They had dinner together, walk and hang out as well and after that, they were busy with their respective activities and then returned to Indonesia. 

During the depression, Mina was admitted to a hospital. She is under the responsibility of Yuki and Irie and it is included in the garantor for her visa and her life there. Yuki and Irie take care of him, a stranger who later becomes Mina's second family. For a year Mina struggled with her mental health and one day after almost a year she was in that phase, she finally realized something and she wanted to get well. 

That's so! Mina struggled against her problem and she gradually recovered. After a year, he was declared healthy and decided to return to Indonesia to continue his life. Of course, he often preached with Yuki and Irie and after that, he got a scholarship in France and continued his schooling there. 

Yungi could continue his life. This could be seen from the way he interacted with Mina, especially when she returned. Yungi thought maybe that time when he fell in love with Mina was just because he was carried away by feelings. He thought everything was misunderstood and that was just his inner upheaval. No one can know about that. His relationship with Mina is still going the same as usual. 

Yungi continued his schooling to America. He also received a scholarship. There, he truly dedicated his life to his college and his hobbies. Well, when he joined a music club there, he met Erika. They become close because they often hang out together and they agree to be in a relationship but relaxed, aka without ties. It's similar to a friend but making love and the two don't mind at all. 

On the eve of her graduation, Yungi gets the news that Mina is betrothed to her parents' colleague son named Awan. There was actually something in his heart, an indefinable pain, the moment he heard the news. However, again Yungi dodged and rejected the feeling. He just thought that strange feeling had arisen because he would definitely no longer be able to rely on Mina if something happened to him and he would lose his best friend. 

“How long have you known each other?” yungi asked as he and the Clouds had a chance to chat. All the gang members gather one day in America during their Spring break. 

“Not too long, because we were betrothed,” said Awan kindly. 

“Uhm, how do you want?” ask Yungi again.

“Who wouldn't want a woman Mina. I think you know better than me. You guys are old, right?” The clouds glanced at Mina for a moment then looked at Yungi. 

Yungi was somewhat stunned but he tried to calm down and a nod of his head with a smile was the attitude thrust upon the Clouds in response. 

“You happy?” ask Jay. It was also at the same meeting. 

“Most importantly my parents are happy,” Mina said with a smile.

“The most important thing is that you are happy, Min,” said Jay again while staring gently. 

“Oh, you are always attentive and kind to me, Jay. Thanks ya!” mina Sahut. 

“Can you hug?” ask Jay. 

“By lah!” mina said with a smile.

“Women won't be angry?” jay asked again while glancing at the Cloud who was talking to Yungi. 

“Of course not. Kan he knows, we cementan,” said Mina. He approached Jay and immediately hugged her with a smile. 

“Kok I don't like seeing Mina and Jay hugs!” cloud said as he looked towards Mina and Jay who were hugging. 

“Oh!” Yungi looked at the Clouds and at Mina and Jay who were hugging. 

Shortly from the group, Mina married with Awan and after that Circle 7 gang rarely gather because of their respective busyness.
