After Party

Alone, Missing Each Other

Juna arrived in front of his house that afternoon. He wanted to rest for a while that night at his current home, after which he wanted to see Luna, his wife, whom he had longed for.

He met with Bi Asih at the front door.

Bi Asih, caught up when he saw Juna coming out of a taxi, and rushed to open the door for him.

This one maid, has been serving her family, since Juna was a baby. An already rare devotion occurred at this time.

"Just arrived from Solo, Mas?" He asked while trying to bring Juna's suitcase.

"Yes, Bik. Oya, Mami is there?" Juna asked as he walked in through the side door.

"Well, we were going, Mas!"

"Where's the meaning? Tumben arisannya until afternoon gini. Usually the way to the mall." Juna Sahut.

"Yes, Mas. Arisan's mother at Ms. RT's house." Reply Bi Asih politely.

Juna coughed, then walked into the house.

Said Bi Asih all were going out of the house. Shasa takes his son to go to Taman Mini, not yet home. Then her husband, Matt, was still out of town, she said, taking care of business.

Juna recalled the words Luna said when they had a fight that night. Until now, Matt has not been able to prove the promised income to Juna.

Maybe it's true, Matt had lied to her by taking the money, then Matt used the money for other purposes, or for his personal needs.

During this time Juna can not prove the lie Matt, his brother-in-law. But, all this time, he seemed to close his eyes to the strangeness of Matt. Maybe because all this time, Juna felt sorry for her brother.

Juna thanked Bi Asih, and raised his own suitcase towards the room.

"Mas Juna.." call Bi Asih. His face looks riled up.

Bi Asih knows for sure the arrival of Luna to the house. He also knew, when Luna ran out of the house and cried as much as she wanted after talking to the in-laws.

Bi Asih wanted to tell that to Juna. However, he was afraid of being thought to interfere in the affairs of others.

Who knows, the big madam has already told that to Juna, her son. Finally, Bi Asih chose to shut up.

Why, Bi ?" Juna asked, his face turning worried.

Bi Asih did not want to make Juna suspicious. Finally he chose to tell her the same worrying thing that was happening to him.

"Anu, Mas Juna. My son who is SMK, needs a fee for a practice exam." Legally weak.

During this time, Bi Asih lived in Juna's house with her two children. Her husband had an affair in the village while she was working in Jakarta.

After being discovered by Bi Asih, they divorced, and the children were brought to live together at Juna's house. The largest is SMK, and the smallest is SMP.

"There's a practice fee too?" Juna asked while looking with sympathy.

"Anu, Mum. At present, the needs of basic materials are already at a high, so that the shopping money from Mother is actually less. I'm not good, if I complain less, I'm afraid I exist. Actually the tuition is free Mas, because the country, but there are tutoring and practice costs. Well, that turns out to cost a lot. Not to mention the books and uniforms for the practice." Bi Asih's Story.

Juna manggut-mangut understand.

"Bik, if the spending money is less, then try to talk to Mami. By the way is fine, surely Mami wants to hear. I'll help you talk about this too. Please remind me!" Juna said with a smile.

Juna walked in towards his room, while, Bi Asih heaved a sigh of relief.

Just a few steps up the stairs, Juna arrived stunned.

"Bik, Luna hasn't been here as long as I've been?" Ask Juna with a tone of voice made as normal as possible.

He did not want to be impressed to know or expect the arrival of Luna. In fact, he was eager to hear what efforts had been made by Luna to look for him.

Bi Asih was silent for a moment. Worrying about what to say. He can smell trouble in his master's household.

However, finally Bi Asih chose to shake his head.

"No. There's nothing, Mas. Luna's mom hasn't been here. Maybe it's busy." Sahut Bi Asih, while a smile is made. Some hair fell in the wind onto her oily cheeks.

Juna, sighing deeply, tried to suppress the disappointment in his voice.

"OKAY. Thank you, Bik." Juna smiled and walked back.

This time, his steps were twice as heavy. He was worried about his decision again. He was afraid that Luna would no longer accept him back.

Juna entered his room whose window had been opened wide so as not to get damp. Dust that flew slowly land disrupted the performance of his nose. He sneezed so many times that his eyes watered.

Juna put his bag on the floor, then sat on the edge of the bed with a carefree heart.

He has not informed Rey of his return to Jakarta. Perhaps, Rey should send someone else to replace her unfinished duties in Solo.

Juna remembered Ayu. And the feeling of strange feelings several times appeared when meeting with Ayu. He smiled, it felt like monkey love. There was , but there was none, and there never will be.

Right now, it's back to reality. Now, he should have been with Luna.

Juna cursed a coward as big as him, which made him afraid to contact Luna again.

Juna's intentions are solid. He will immediately resolve the misunderstanding that has occurred between him and Luna immediately. However, before, he wanted to break down first.

Luna, sitting on the edge of the fountain in Menteng Park. Park located in the city center. There is a greenhouse there, often used as an exhibition venue, or a wedding party.

Not infrequently there is an appearance of art in a group of young people or communities in Taman Menteng. Luna really enjoyed the various shows that the community was showing.

In the past, he often came with Juna to this park, just to walk around, breathe fresh air from the oxygen produced by the tree trees there, or just discuss other things.

After enjoying Taman Menteng, Luna and Juna usually enjoy tahu gejrot delicious around there. Luna likes the taste of traditional food.

Suddenly a pink ball rolled towards Luna and hit her feet. Luna took the ball and looked around her.

A little girl ran towards him.

Shamefully he stood up and pointed at the ball.

"This is your ball, honey?" Ask Luna softly.

The girl nodded.

"Whose name are you?"

"Key." The answer is shame.

"Who was here? Sit the same with me first." Luna gave the little girl a pink ball and pulled her arm, to sit on the bench with her.

"Who was here?"

"Mama papa."

"Well, where's your papa mama?"

The little girl named Key just shook her head while clutching her ball.

Luna stood up and glanced around the Menteng park, seeing who knew, there were the parents of this little girl.

"Where were you playing?" Luna asked still in a soft voice.

The little girl pointed towards the playground.

Luna stared at the playground that the little girl pointed to.

"Well, let's go find your mom!" Persuade Luna while holding the little girl. The girl nodded and clasped Luna's hand.

There was a strange feeling of calm as his hands came into contact with the little girl's hands, then his stomach also seemed to be turbulent. It was as if the fetus in his womb knew there was a small child was with his mother at this time and wanted to come to play.

Before long, a half-running woman was perplexedly visible from a distance, she stared straight and sharp at Luna and the girl.

"Key..!" Call her while running towards Luna.

"Mama." That little girl, who took off her grip from Luna's hand.

Luna simply smiled looking at the heartwarming scene in front of her. Mother and son hugged each other.

The woman approached Luna and smiled.

"Thank you." He said with a smile, the little girl about four or five years old was in his mother's arms.

"Key, don't be far away from playing it, later mama doesn't know. Good thing there's an aunt who won't Key." He said to the little girl.

"thank you. Sorry for the trouble." Say it politely.

"Yes, same thing." Answer Luna.

"Eh, how many months has it been?" Asked the woman earlier while looking into Luna's stomach.

"Four months."

"May be healthy and smooth until his birthday yes."

Luna smiled and nodded.

"I'll excuse you." Pamit that woman.

"Yes. Bye Key's." Luna waved at the little girl earlier. The little girl named Key replied with a smile.

In the distance, a man walks toward Key and his mother.

Luna took a breath. He checked his phone which had been accidentally put in his bag. Because Luna wants to enjoy her solitude.

He was stunned, there were several incoming calls from unknown numbers.
