Suddenly
Between Us

“They will touch?”

“Ssssttt!”

“Mmmbbmm.

Sky spontaneously closed both Ken and Kai's eyes.

But it becomes free, they are too strong.

“Replace horror movie, yes?” pinta Sky's.

“Miss!” reject Kai.

Ken too, “No, Sky!”

“Ah, you cowards.”

“Kai, have you really not changed your mind? Sky will often invite you to watch a scary movie,” tease Ken.

“Nothing, no problem,” replied Kai casually.

“OK,” Sky smile.

This unusual atmosphere was near me, reminding me of myself before this day came.

No longer empty but empty. I do everything myself.

I watch a lot of movies until I get bored.

The food was the same, nothing changed from my diet. Even 1 full week, I could do it. Eat with the same menu. Am I the loyal type? Well, that's ridiculous and ridiculous.

“You're not hungry?”

“What do you want to eat, Sky?” Again, they are compact.

“Wah, can't it be after I speak new that you speak?”

“You love to imitate.”

“Alright, let me just order food,” Sky to mediate between two lovebirds.

Ken and Kai are like a couple who don't get along. If they were women and men.

“Ken, do you know where my phone is?”

“Here,” Kai who replied.

“Why can it be on you?”

“Wah, you're forgetful. You gave it to me.”

“Ah, yes.”

Kai and I, had just exchanged contact with Ken in secret so that he wouldn't be suspicious.

It's hard to stop his chatter, it's Ken not to mention Kai. Ken the first and Kai the second, they both talk a lot.

Tired me.

They were still excited while I, my energy was drained away.

Ting.tong…

“That's the food.”

“Let me,” Kai said.

Yes, the same menu.

“Sky, you order ramen..”.

“Yes, ramen it.”

Ting.tong…

“You order food again?” ask Ken.

“No. Let me, Ken.”

The atmosphere that had just been with me had to disappear in an instant.

It's true, it's undeniable.

Happiness comes with sadness. It's like being inseparable, without us knowing.

It is difficult to try not to fall asleep but once it comes to you, it feels drowned until your mouth is made silent then can only be silent with an empty gaze and also a wandering mind.

Mother and Keen, they smiled at me who was fixated with both hands clenched.

“Sky, why are you..”.

“Dad..”

Ken stared at me, my hands that suddenly grew cold became warm with Ken's hands.

“What are you guys doing here for?” said Ken. Ken's body covered me.

“At least let us in,” said Mother who was still smiling.

They also enter. Looking around with both eyes frowning.

“Who, him?” Mom pointed at Kai.

“For what did Mom come here? Isn't this the first time?” Kai had nothing to do with Mom and Keen coming. It bothered me when Mom pointed at Kai.

“Who, him?” Mom's still chuckling.

“Kai...,” Kai with plain face install.

Then Kai continued, “Children's friend, Sky.”

“Children's childhood friend? That's not possible. He has no friends. In fact, Yuta and Kale.they are also not friends.”.

“You're not his girlfriend?” mom's gaze on Kai was so sharp.

“Ah, did Mom interfere too much? Hahaha.”.

Huh huh?

What kind of shit is this?

“Do you need money? You have nothing,” Keen scrunched her eyes and forehead then, walked over to me with her hand touching the tip of my head.

My words are right, can't be called a family.

“You guys came to look for me, right?” Ken clasped Sky's hand as Kai was about to do the same.

“It wasn't his fault. You guys are really late. I had planned to move, long before I lived in that house and I had already decided.”.

“You are not a family that should be.” continued Ken, his voice seemed to understand his heart.

“You think you can do without Dad?”

“Daddy thought, can live without Mom? It's too early. Don't push yourself too hard, it's also painful for you. Isn't that right?” the mood changed. I understand how Ken is feeling.

Ken's warm hands became cold and trembling.

Kai stared at the one that should be in his hand, becoming less irritated. He only thinks about Sky and the fact that Sky only thinks Ken is an older brother. To that extent, he can conclude.

“Keep asleep in the bad memories that make you worse off, understand?” said Keen, then passed by with the sound of the door being so loud.

“You too, are you sure your father will come to see you?” Mom talked to me, her hands squeezed both my shoulders.

“If Dad really comes back, the first person he meets is I'm not Mom.”

BRACKET!

Tests..tes…

“Ken..”.

I don't know, I can't take it anymore.

“Nothing, crying,” Ken hugged me.

“Why are you comforting me? I should have been..”

“Comfort you..huaaahh...”

“Hey, the ramen is already expanding,” Kai is walking closer.

“Who cares about ramen at a time like this, huaaahhh...,” replied Ken and Sky compact. They cry together like a child who has lost a toy.

Meanwhile, Kai?

Kai is forced to eat ramen which actually does not make him want to eat it. He ate it slowly. But his feelings become mixed.

The rain came back, at 4 p.m.

Kai did not spend the already inflate ramen itself.

Ken and Sky, they had also spent it.

Each one of them thought of many things.

They were silent for a few minutes, then spoke to each other and fell silent again.

“Sky, I'm home,” said Ken with his head down.

“Alright, sleep! You need a break, Ken.”

“You, too.”

“Eh, Kai..”

“Alright,” Kai moved and walked towards the exit.

“Where are you going, Kai?”

“Home home, you told me to go home, right?”

“No.”

“Ah..”

“Hmm, that must have made you uncomfortable. I'm sorry for what happened today. You're okay, right?”

“Hey, it was I who should have asked you. Are you okay?”

“Yes, will always be fine. It has been a long time and getting me used to situations like this,” Sky smiled faintly.

“Do you need a hug from me?” Kai tried to stay relaxed as usual.

“No!”

“But..”.

“Hmm, you want me to hear your story?”

Kai read my mind again.

“You read my mind?”

“Maybe, hehe.”

“Hei!” there was a smile line on my face.

“Kai..”.

“Hmm?”

“If we fill each other up, will it scare you?”

“Fear?” sahut Kai's.

“Iya. Doesn't that scare you?”

“Hah?”

“Ah, you do not understand the direction I say, yes?”

“What are you afraid of?” Kai asked.

“Many.”

“Are we not living surrounded by many things?”

“You have love but suddenly in the middle of the journey something gets in your way and you end up falling for various options. Isn't that also on your mind, Kai?”

“A time you can also falter or you can also lie to yourself or you choose to give up..”.

“Among us, what will it be like, Kai?”
