Gemini and Gemintang Love Stories
Krishna Rao

Singapore, Gemini Apartment

The sound of a bell ringing made Gemini see who was coming in the lobby. His face smiled to see who had come and immediately pressed a button that let the person in and take the elevator. Before long the bell of Gemini's apartment sounded and the girl opened the door.

"For Miss Jessica" said Gemini while cipika cipiki to the secretary of the mommy.

"Magi mbak Gemini. Where is Gemintang?" ask the fat secretary.

"Stars are still imprisoned in the bathroom looking for wangsit" kekeh Gemini. "Where's Mom? Smooth trip?"

"Praise God smoothly mbak. I was shocked yesterday Bu Freya panicked that the dormitory is full and confused who should ask for help. I then volunteered because I was from SD to college here so memorize."

"Well, is Jessica here yet?" the new Gemintang came out of his room.

"Yes Mbak Mintang. How's it? So find an apartment near the campus?"

"Is Mom. If it's far away from here, it'll be late."

"Breakfast first. I made you a sandwich." Gemini also prepared three sandwich breads on the table.

Almost half a day Gemintang and Jessica are looking for a suitable apartment after they browse online. Until finally the fifth apartment that fits and suits the taste of Gemintang.

The two women also immediately made rent payments for four years as the Gemintang course was four years in Singapore and the next three years at Melbourne University Australia.

"If I had no problem in academics, maybe 3.5 years I'd finished here and then could fly to Melbourne" Gemintang told Jessica as they were having lunch at a Malay restaurant.

"But Mbak Mstang still took four years of rent" Jessica replied.

"I'll be on my guard if my 3.5-year target doesn't go as planned" Smile Gemintang.

"True rather than later mbak Mstar perplexity."

"Mrs Jessica went straight to Jakarta? Shouldn't we stay here last night?" tawar Gemintang's.

"Mother Freya said so too. I was here last night while helping if it is true that Mbak Mintang and mbak Gemini need something."

The star smiled happily.

The apartment chosen by Gemintang is a studio type that has a bedroom above. Gemini and Radyta help the girl choose furniture that makes her comfortable.

After everything seems to fit the taste of Gemintang, the three also had lunch at an Indian restaurant.

"Your little apartment isn't papa Mintang?" ask Gemini who lives in a two-room Lexington apartment.

"No papa would just sleep if I went to college until night. Security is also guaranteed." The starling tried to calm her twin brother.

"Relatedly? Me and Radyta are one building but you're looking for dhewe (part itself)" muttered Gemini who is fluent in Javanese with Oma Arum and Oma Davina.

"Ora Popo (it's okay). Just relax!"

A Month Later...

Gemintang was in a cafe near the campus to study. He felt bored in his apartment and wanted to be among many people so as not to feel alone.

The cafe was also crowded with students this weekend and Gemintang did not join Gemini and Radyta who were returning to Jakarta. Gemintang was still there pratikum Kimia this morning and now he chose to do the task of anatomy.

"Star!"

The star looked up from her MacBook screen and saw her classmate, Barbara, approaching her desk.

"Hi Barbara" said Gemintang.

"Geez, baby, it's Saturday. Weekend, why do the task? Tomorrow is Sunday."

"Tomorrow I'll hibernate! Like a bear, because it already has no duty debt" kekeh Gemintang.

"Basasal sorority sok diligent" ledek Barbara while laughing but Gemintang did not feel offended because the girl bloody Chinese was indeed if she said what it was.

"Let's quickly pass Barbara. I can't wait to jump into the real world. Moreover, Oomku has a farm in Queensland."

"Do you want to start at your Oom farm?" asked Barbara while ordering a drink and food.

"Isn't a little nepotism for learning not forbidden?" gemintang Kerling.

Barbara laughs. "It's a place where you can practice without having to apply for a job first."

The two chatted about a lot of things until the live music event began. Gemintang and Barbara enjoy the songs sung by the show's fillers.

"OK, now I ask the cafe visitors to sing. Because the theme tonight is old songs classic, you can sing anything from old songs. Come on, who wants to?"

Barbara turned to the stars who were still busy doing the task. "Star, don't you want to sing?"

"Nope!"

"You sound good!"

Barbara wettest. "But the cat is sleeping."

"Lullaby for a cat" Kekeh Gemintang.

"Who wants to move forward?" ask the host.

Barbara pointed towards the Gemintang making the host call out to the girl.

"The blonde in front of the MacBook!"

The star raised his head and turned towards the music stage. "Moi?" he asked while pointing to himself.

"Yes you! What's your name, miss?"

The stars stared at the judges to Barbara who had a plain face. "Star."

"Let's go. Sing it" the host asked.

Inevitably Gemintang also stood up and walked towards the stage with a sharp gaze to Barbara who clapped loudly with other visitors.

"So, what do you want to sing?" ask the host.

"Is this old song classic?"

"true."

"Nickleback Far Away. Any acoustic guitars?" ask Gemintang.

One of the musicians gave him an acoustic guitar and the Gemintang began tuning it. The girl also began to confer to the musicians there to play on what note.

"Good night. My name is Gemintang and tonight, I will sing a song belonging to the old band Nickleback. This is my favorite song, Far Away."

The star plays his acoustic guitar.

This time, this place

Misused, mistakes

Too long, too late

Who was I to make you wait?

Just one chance, just one breath

Just in case there's just one left

'Cause you know, you know, you know

That I love you

I have loved you all along

And I miss you

Been far away, for far too long

I keep dreaming you'll be with me

And you'll never go

Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore

The sweet sound of the Gemintang makes the visitors hypnotized and immediately gives a standing applaus after the girl completes the song. And among the visitors there is Krisna Rao who was swept away in a romantic song sung by Gemintang.

Apparently it's your favorite song, Mintang. His words are very romantic.

The star smiled at all the visitors and thanked them before stepping off the stage. When she was about to return to her desk which Barbara guarded, the green eyes of the Starling were reunited with the brown eyes of Krishna Rao.

"You sound good" said Krishna.

"Thank you" replied the star.

"Krisna Rao" said the man of Indian blood as he extended his hand.

"Lexington star" replied the Star as she welcomed Krishna's hand.

"Nice to meet you... Stingy."
