CHASING THE LOVE OF STARS

CANTEEN

Hours of rest, the Moon invites Cici to eat in the cafeteria. He who yesterday afternoon received a salary from Angkasa intends to treat his best friend.

"Lo really have money?" Cici asked, I don't know how many times Cici asked. He just did not want Moon to bother buying him food even though the girl was in trouble.

"Udah Five times you ask that, there is. That's why I invited Lo, yesterday afternoon I payday. I haven't seen Lo for a long time, I miss eating in the cafeteria. After all, paying school fees is also a little," replied the Moon. He smiled back at the greeting that greeted him.

Once everyone knows the current state of the Moon, there are indeed pros and cons. Because not all heads are of the same mind, not all bodies are of the same heart and not everyone has the same sympathy. Some remained kind to him even treated him better, some stayed away from him, making fun of him even insulting him like Zeni did.

But the Moon does not care, as Angkasa once said, it is better for him to focus on his school, on his life and on his own happiness rather than taking care of people's speech. Through Space, he began to learn indifferently, not thinking too little things and did not hear the bad words of others for him.

Because the Moon is well aware, it will not be able to silence the mouths of all those who do not like it, nor can it force others to like it. He only needed to pay attention to the hearing of words that could hurt his heart.

"So really?" Ask Cici again.

The moon laughed, then pulled Cici's hand towards the cafeteria.

The atmosphere of the canteen seemed crowded, it seemed more crowded than usual. Or maybe because long enough the Moon does not go to the cafeteria, the atmosphere there becomes a little different.

Today the Moon was deliberately not carrying supplies, he had intended to invite Cici to eat together in the cafeteria. But the seats in the cafeteria were full, all seemed to be filled except..

"The moon!"

The call made the Moon turn, and so did Cici. They approached the Space desk, the only table that looked empty. There is only Space, Stars and Zeni. There is still a vacant place for three people.

"Sit here, join us. All tables are full" Angkasa said. He shifted, letting the Moon sit next to him. As for Cici, he was sitting next to the Moon. They sat facing the Bintang and Zeni who looked very unwilling away from the Star.

"Don't you think I'm sitting here?" ask Moon.

"You should be so rich before you sit down" Zeni said. The girl cleared her throat as the Star and Space stared at her sharply, for her previous mistake Zeni did not want to apologize to the Moon. And this time Zeni wants to attack the Moon again, of course the Star and Space will not let it happen.

"Sa, I'm looking for another table." said Moon, he did not want any commotion, especially Zeni often spit spicy words at him.

The moon was about to stand up, but Space held its hand. Such a soft grip that made the Moon freeze, he looked at Space who was also staring at him, then the Moon turned to look at his wrist, Space's hand still at home grasping it.

"Sit down, don't listen to anything" said Angkasa gently.

Hypnotized, the Moon finally sat back down. As for Cici, the girl went to order food.

"You fit," chirped Zeni.

The Moon and Space turn to each other. I don't know why they seem so wrong.

"Why not be? You are both single" said Zeni again.

The Moon did not respond, she lowered her head to avoid the star's gaze before her.

"He kept me down" said Angkasa. Sontak made the Moon turn and pinch the man's arm.

"Sa.." Tegur Bulan, "Had habit of making jokes like blong. The brakes are broken, huh?" the Moon said, the girl smiled with anxiety.

The sky grimaced, "Aw, sakiiiit.." whimpered with lebay.

The Moon laughs, and so does Space. That made Zeni flirt with them.

"Duh, cute. I support it, I support it" said Zeni again. He glanced at the silent-looking Star, the young man even refocused on his food.

The uncomfortable situation made the Moon grudge him. Why didn't he just look for another table or go back? The Star's gaze really felt cold, the Moon felt the Star as it used to, cold and indifferent. It may be true, though, that the Star approached him out of pity and guilt alone.

"I'm done, I'm in class first, excuse me.." The stars left and left before everyone got an answer. He did not even look back until his tall body was no longer visible.

The moon was lethargic, her little heart could not be lied to, that love was still very present. He even tried to control his heartbeat. However, the cold attitude of the Star resuscitated him again and convinced his intention to forget the young man.

"Gue is also first well, want to follow the Star. You guys just relax, I support your relationship." said Zeni.

"Zen!" Struggling Space, seeing the change in the face of the Moon, he knew that the Moon could not see the cold attitude of the Star. The girl looked sad.

"Lan, Zeni's words should not be shaken. He is his son, besides I also know, your heart is only for the stars. Don't be sad.." Space rubbed the Moon's shoulders, then paused to go to the toilet.

Finally there was only a Moon on that table, until a while later Cici returned with their food order.

Can the Moon still eat? His appetite was gone, but his stomach was rumbling asking for intake.

"Haaaah, I have to eat. Pretending to be okay also requires energy, right?"
