Between Love and Corona

Contacting Stars

Surya really felt defeated in the eyes of the Moon. Even though his mouth did not say anything, but he felt that the Star had become a hero to the Moon. Surely this situation is very unpleasant for Surya.

As a girlfriend, even as Surya's fiancee would naturally want to be someone the Moon relied on. She wants to be someone who will be first, Moon call if she needs anything. Unfortunately when the Moon slumped and was struggling to recover, he could not do anything for the Moon.

Sad for sure. Disappointment is also true. However, again the position of Surya who was in Makassar seemed to make him unable to do anything. He will be happy to help the Moon.

After ending his phone with the Moon, this time Surya plans to contact the Stars. Although hesitant, but Surya must assert that his friend will not take advantage of his current existence far away to approach the Moon. Quickly, Surya searched the phone number of the Star and waited for the phone call to be connected.

"Hello Bin.." said when the phone call was connected.

"Yes ... What is Surya? Tumben called me?" ask the star who was honestly also shocked when Surya contacted him.

Surya seemed to scratch his head which was honestly not itchy before talking to the Star. "Bin, is it true that you have been buying food during the Moon's self-isolation?" surya asked slowly.

This time Surya can not be emotional and also fierce. No matter how Star was his friend, Surya had to be careful at this moment.

"Yes .. true Surya. I buy the Moon daily food. He underwent self-isolation, there was no way he would go out and buy his own food." replied the Star.

The stars answered logically. Those who are exposed to Covid and do self-isolation like an exiled person, should not relate to others. Therefore, Bintang did take the initiative itself to buy food for the Moon.

"Why do you bother Bin?" ask Surya.

The star seemed to frown when Surya asked why he should bother. It's true that the Stars know what Surya's motive is to contact him right now.

"I didn't bother, Sur .. I sincerely helped him. Besides not just on the Moon, anyone who needs help will definitely help." this time the Star replied earnestly.

On the other hand Surya listened to the Star's reply slowly. "Can you stop buying food for the Moon? Let me buy you food for the Moon for the rest of his solitary years."

Surya said straightforwardly that he wanted to replace the position of the Star which for ten days had been buying food for the Moon. For some reason, Surya is so eager to become a hero to his own fiancee.

The star nodded its head. "Well .. from tomorrow you will not buy food for the Moon. In exchange I hope you buy food for the Moon. He's home alone, and it's impossible to go out to buy his own food."

"Matur nuwun (thank you in Javanese) Bin." surya replied who was relieved because from tomorrow he could be someone useful for the Moon.

This time, Surya wanted to ask the Stars something else. "Bin, may I ask you one thing?" ask him with consideration.

The star breathed out violently. At least the Stars know what Surya will ask. However, the Star does not want to precede Surya. "You ask what? Ask me who it is." replied the Star.

"Do you like the moon? Just answer honestly, Bin...."

The question just slid from Surya's mouth. There's something to straighten out. Something needs to be found the answer. Surya did not want to procrastinate, which is why he asked the Star directly.

As for the Star, his guess did not miss. Accurate throws. After many years, Surya finally asked him this question.

"Yes, Surya ... I have loved the moon for a long time. Long before you liked it." The star answered firmly.

Star is not a cowardly man who is reluctant to admit his own feelings. The star then admitted that he really liked the Moon. It turns out that the stars have loved the Moon for a long time.

Dumbstruck. That's how Surya feels right now. He did not expect that the Star had liked the Moon for a long time, even before he liked the Moon. However, since when? Before they saw the Moon for the first time in Lek Man, the stars had already seen the Moon.

Suddenly many questions arise in Surya's head. The catch is right, the stars have always liked the Moon. This time, his friend admitted blatantly.

Honestly Surya felt his position was not safe this time. It could be, the Star would take the Moon from him at any time.

"Since when was Bin? You want our deal since High School, right? That we won't like the same girl. Did you forget? Surya reminds Bintang of their promise since High School that they promise not to like the same girl to keep their friendship.

"I remember with our covenant, Sur .. but, what the heart feels who knows. Although I liked it for a long time, I won't take it from you, Surya. I stand as your friend and friend. Even if I never showed my feelings to anyone." replied the Star firmly.

The stars say, The stars never took the Moon. He even remained on his character as a kind and calm man. The star never even showed his feelings to anyone. Who would have thought it turned out that the man had been harboring feelings for the Moon for so long.

After six years passed, the Star was faithful to stand in its position as his friend Surya and the Moon. Never once did he turn Surya.

While Surya is actually increasingly insecure with his position. He was afraid that someday, the Star would actually snatch the Moon from his side. Surya seemed to be a lion who lost his fangs because now he could not do much to guard the Moon. On the other hand, he knew there were men who liked the Moon as well for a long time. Surya seemed to get hit hard when he found out that his best friend told him honestly that he liked the Moon. His little heart felt very uneasy right now.

The war mood is like being sown right now. Yes, Surya and Bintang seem to be both at war and ready to seize the Moon at any time.
