Between Love and Corona

The Anxiety of the Moon

A full day out of the house to take care of all the things related to her wedding plan that had to be postponed in the time period when no one knew. The moon entered his house with legs that felt limp, his steps were shaky.

Because of the situation in the pandemic, once at home Moon chose to take a shower immediately, cleaning his body of dirt and viruses that might be attached to his body. Even the moon also immediately washed the clothes he wore all day. The ayu girl was reminded by a public service message that during the pandemic must be more clean, if not self-possible who became a carrier of the virus for the people we care about.

After making sure he was clean, the Moon went to his room. The girl stood in front of a window in her room, opening a curtain of flowers hanging as a window cover. He let the wind blow gently his long aura as close as night. Every now and then the 24-year-old girl closed her eyes, feeling the gusts of the night wind that felt softer, hoping that the wind could give her a bit of calm.

Screaming trees with branches waving, making the Moon blink. Berserked by him that his life now was so rustling like a tree in the wind. His life has been quiet, his relationship that runs almost six years with Surya suddenly felt a shake because of the Corona Virus.

His happy day was not canceled due to the presence of the party. Wasn't it! His happy day was not canceled because Surya and the Moon had been unfaithful. Wasn't it! But a virus that is invisible, but in fact so shook the Moon, even the entire population of the world.

Months later walked to his bed, there was plastered White Beach which he had taken from a boutique, examples of wedding invitations, examples of wedding souvenirs, even the formation paper of his wedding committee with Surya. Her tears that held all happiness were gone for a moment.

I will break myself. I will hold on until this situation passes. Oh, Universe ... when will you be back okay? A lot of asa I dream. A lot of love I want to make with Surya. When did you get better and let my dream be answered? One month ... two months ... six months .. or one year? Hey Universe, I hope you get better soon so this can all be skipped. A new day will come and people will have hope again.

The moon muttered while touching one by one various objects that would actually be a witness to his happiness with Surya later.

"May this happy day be delayed. Why does it feel so hard to unite with you, Surya. Just wait a month and we will be together as if the Universe has its own story. Especially now, in just a matter of days you will leave the city of Jogjakarta. Again, I have to be alone, Surya. If in the night sky the moon coincides with a sprinkling of stars, while here I am alone, Surya. When separated distance and time Jogjakarta - Makassar later is it possible that our hearts and feelings will remain the same? Because of Corona, is it possible that our feelings will remain the same even if we do not know exactly when we meet? Could it be that our hearts will both still be linked when the conditions are really chaotic? This is all very heavy, Surya. However, you seem to be more sincere. Unlike me who dissolves in disappointment."

The moon said softly. His feelings are raging at the moment. Several times he wiped his tears. His desire to be with Surya, but uncertain conditions and also the work of the Moon as a State Primary School Teacher in Jogjakarta in fact also makes him unable to leave this City after this marriage.

Why does everything feel complicated? Slowly the Moon moved and stored the White Kebaya back into her wardrobe. For invitations, souvenir samples, and some other completeness the Moon put in one box and then he put it on top of the closet. The girl sighed, hopefully, everything she saved at this time will be realized someday and this remains with Surya, the man who has been in love with her since she was in High School.

The next day, Moon returned to work, his profession as a Primary School Teacher did make him leave early.

Once at the School, all teachers are asked to gather and will get a briefing from the Headmaster.

"Good morning Mr and Mrs Teacher. This morning, I stood here to give guidance to the Masters. Because there is a pandemic situation, and the data of people affected by Corona virus infection is getting higher then Teaching Learning Activities that were originally done face-to-face, we will switch to online logging/online in accordance with the instructions given by Mr. President and Minister of Education yesterday. So please Father and Mother Teacher can prepare it. Kids should get a lesson anyway. Pandemic situations do not prevent children from learning. In the future, there will also be provision for Teachers to improve teaching competence by using technology applications to teach students."

Such was the guidance of the Headmaster that the teachers listened to.

Some teachers who hear guidance from the Headmaster are indeed confused especially the teachers who are old (old), using technology to teach seems to be a tough challenge. The learning, which is usually done face-to-face, must be done online. The old generation ready not to be ready should try to learn again to run the School From Home or School From Home. While for young Education Personnel like the Moon certainly can more quickly use technology for learning.

It's just that the Moon is currently teaching Grade 1 Elementary, teaching children to read, write, and count. A formidable challenge that teaches reading, writing, and numeracy online. Each student has their own abilities. In one class, there is no benchmark for the ability of one child with another. Something that is quite confusing to the Moon.

As soon as the Moon racked his brain, how to teach children to read, write, and count online. Hopefully he can apply the right teaching methods, the use of teaching media that is right on target, and cooperation with parents of students of course.

The moon breathed rough. "Oh my God, why so many days just get heavier, O God. Not yet my personal problem is over, now the trials are increasing again. If you may ask, let the Corona virus will soon pass, O Lord."
