Indra is walking. Almost ran if the crowd didn't stop him. He barged in by force. It was actually not difficult because people immediately stepped aside once they saw his facial expression.


Indra really hopes that the worst possibility does not happen. Whispers and comments around also aggravated his anxiety and fear. A terrible and big accident. Many did not have time to take shelter and were hit by the ruins of the construction of a new building that was still fragile.


Indra frantically searched and walked down the aisle of a nearby hospital that had been filled with injured people. Cold sweat flowed through the temple as his heart beat increasingly agitated. Fortunately, one of the nurses noticed the alarm.


"He's in the very end-room"


Indra immediately gasped after patting a glimpse of the woman's shoulder - a sign of gratitude. His steps were getting faster and snapping. His breath was hunted by fear. As soon as he caught the door of the room at the end of the hall, he immediately opened it.


Instantly taking his eyes off the window, Indri stood glued. "Indra-"


Indri was not allowed to explain because Indra had approached and pulled him. He held her tight, but was still careful not to torture the girl.


"I told you to be careful" hiss Indra was full of emotion and fear. "Why did it get this way? You forced yourself, didn't you?!"


Indri biting the lower lip. "Sorry-"


"Not enough! It was very dangerous and you were near-" Indra groaned in annoyance, then whispered with emphasis. His embrace tried not to be tightened. "You .. You don't know how scared I am."


"Indra, really. I'm .. sorry." Indri also felt crowded by the young man's emotional overflow. Eyes glazed. "Sorry ...."


Indra rippled, all mixed between disappointed, angry, sad, afraid, and anxious. "Please .. don't be like this anymore. You're endangering your life."


"Sorry."


"... sorry ...."


"I don't want to see you hurt again, Indri. I'm .. afraid of losing you."


Indri's tears are down. He hugged back and buried his face on the lover's shoulder. His voice was hoarse and poignant. "Sorry, Indra ... I'm really .. sorry."


Indra tried to catch her breath. His body is still trembling with fear and gratitude as Indri survives - after being hit by the ruins of a steel frame just to protect a teenage girl. The gripping feeling had not tormented Indra for a long time. The last time he felt when Indri was involved in a bus accident. Indra must feel it again now. Just because of a trivial matter.


***


It is only a normal holiday when Indra and Indri choose to stay at home when heavy rain occurs out there. The night had just arrived and they had finished dinner. There was no work for tonight, so they chose to spend the rest of the time sitting face to face near the balcony of the room. Round table separates them. They deliberately placed a set of tables and two chairs there so that at any time they could relax while looking at anything out there through the glass balcony door. However, since it was already night, the curtains had already been closed and only the lanterns on the walls of the room were drowned.


Silence is created because they are diligently doing each hobby. Indri with attention and relax knit a pair of gloves so that the knitting needles clash in a slow and monotonous sound. The voice did not disturb Indra who was focused on reading the book, it contributed to the sound other than the rumbling rain out there. They were also accompanied by a plate of raisin-studded pastries and a pair of mugs filled with hot chocolate. Every now and then they stop to devour just one piece of cake or sip of hot chocolate, or just glance at each other's activities at a glance.


The following time after Indra sipped his drink, Indri paused to stretch his fingers while checking his work again. He also changed his sitting position to make it more comfortable. It made him take the time to look at Indra who had returned to focus on reading. The woman did not blink when she accidentally saw the rest of the chocolate drink attached to the corner of Indra's lips. It looked funny with Indra's expression returning seriously during the reading of the book. Indri quietly held an amused smile. There was no handkerchief near them, so Indri leaned forward and stuck out his hand. Be careful not to surprise Indra, her hand slowly touched the man's chin. The touch immediately made Indra look up and look at him unblinkingly, but Indri just smiled and continued to move his hand. Gently, Indri's thumb rubbed the brown residue on the corner of the man's lips.


Indra was still fixated by the swab, then a bit down to see what Indri was swiping. He saw the rest of the chocolate drink that had moved to the woman's thumb. Indra immediately understood.


Indri was already about to pull his hand, but Indra held him in place with one hand. Indri felt her cheeks warm up as Indra then softly licked the rest of the chocolate on her thumb. It was only after that that Indra took off her hand and briefly smiled gently, before then continuing to read the book.


The sound of knocking knitting needles only sounded again after a long time. This time too, his tone sounded a bit chaotic because Indri was still arranging nervousness.
