GIRL UNDER THE MOON

GIRL UNDER THE MOON
still seeing the moon smile



the days begin to enter the final phase, as the year will change, the sweet story with him will stop. "one time you know meera, will forever remain familiar!" the remark would be remembered, even slowly I began to understand, a meaning contained within.


that year has given color. about learning to find, to feel the sweetness of love.I have it, the love relationship has been built, definitely the status was changed as a couple who have each other.


I don't want the day to keep going, worried that his feelings will change. If I can, I want to stop in that year{2011}. let me not feel what disappointment is, what is sadness?


that day I was still a danu, danu as they know it. I was at home, was gathering with my mother, father, and my two sisters, our house was also the arrival of om iwan and aunty lisa. om iwan did not expect, the collision I had at home, usually meandering gk clear.


it's true, I should have been at the rhinoceros kulon base, with my friends holding a massive party, there are more important things I should talk to my parents about than that party.


"dad, mother, andu want to express something." I said opening.all were silent, waiting for what I would say, sounding very important.


"a few days ago in the hospital.meera's mother was very sick, as if only death was visible.meera was the only child they had, she was a splitter, she was, penantik homesi and the reason his mother continues to fight against the disease to be able to see meera continues to be happy.but that day the situation was weak, he felt it would not be long again.but before his departure, he did not feel, he wants to make sure meera happy.His mother hopes, before the death to pick her up, she wants to see meera get married, and her marriage can be witnessed directly by her.Continue, she knows that danu is meera's lover, and she wants to be married, he hopes big so that as soon as possible danu proposed and proposed to his son. danu helpless ma'am, well. when his mother meera asked for it all, besides danu bowed to feel fear.then how?" I said long.why so fast reality requires me, when I was not ready to accept the invitation.


my mom was the first to respond: "mom doesn't mind, if you have to marry meera. That's the problem, you're young, you just graduated high school yesterday.You should know, you should know, loving each other is only a foundation, not a guarantee.building a household requires preparation, because it is not for a day or two, but for eternity.it is not a union between two people, it is not a union between two people, but two families. mother does not intend to forbid it, but try to think carefully.has happened a lot, people who married young, at least only lasted a few years, even just a matter of months, it has happened, not only the economic pactor who is the demand, but also mentally!" my mother replied very long, even the others had to wait their turn to respond.


now it's my father's turn to give his voice, my father's speaking while holding my shoulder, men look wiser: "you're our only son, even the first. you are the leader of the household for your child and wife later. Dad does not mind if you want to get married soon.but you must know, there are consequences! now I'll ask, you answer honestly.Is your determination unanimous and sure of your choice to get married that soon?" I could only be silent while bowing my head. "nu.." My father reminded me to be answered immediately. I shook my head in ignorance, I was so doubtful, even afraid, that I was so afraid, if he cannot meet his needs.


"if you are still in doubt, it is better to retreat! rather than later you live in regret.wait until you are absolutely sure." said my father suggested.


"living in this day and age is nu. It is only a treasure and throne, if you have many treasures and high positions, you will be appreciated and respected, but if otherwise, you will be respected, we're like useless garbage, let alone achieved, in view of no. for om and aunt, you are a great person, have the potential to be a successful person in the future." om iwan added.


my way of thinking seems deadlocked, I'm really a coward, I can't decide which one to choose, if I had to back down, I really wouldn't let it go to death.There's no other way, besides I have a job first.I had time to ask it to om iwan, not to my father, I was lazy to work on the floor because it was far away, so could rarely meet meera. but if working at om iwan place, still can to take the time to meet meera at will. om iwan reminded me to wait until the new year arrives, later he will petrify recommend in his office, he will petrified recommend in his office, while waiting I was told to prepare his job application.


from noon my phone kept ringing, until I deactivated it, because it was considered annoying.all incoming calls were from my friends who did it, especially leni. when I reactivated the phone, countless numbers of BBMs came in. They told me to come to the rhino kulon base immediately.


meera's parents' request, I've stirred in front of my family, but the decision was determined by myself. hah my head is dizzy, I need entertainment to melt the atmosphere. I say goodbye from in front of them, I say, I'm going to go see my friends.


arriving at the rhino kulon base, I was very surprised, it was like a music concert, they prepared all the musical instruments, complete with the sound system, the atmosphere was very crowded.


"hey it's danu!" said one of the friends who saw my presence. they came straight to me while shaking hands like slang children. I do not understand, why they welcomed me excessively, they cheered, mentioning your name is very echoing. "danu danu, danu danu." Their treatment embarrassed me, I was done like a superstar.


leni who was singing, momentarily stopped her voice, when I heard my name yelled. In the loudspeaker, leni said welcome to me. "finally, someone we are waiting for can come too. give a standing ovation to our commander Danu.." that's how it sounded to make everyone applaud.


beni who has arrived from bandung, has not had time to meet me, he waved his palm at me{helo} when he was holding a guitar.just like devi, he waved his palm at me, just coming from Jogja has not met me, maybe because of kangen, when he saw my existence, he immediately came down from the stage, running towards me to hug.


"gw kangen really know the same lo. from yesterday gw telepin never lifted, really bad lo" said devi in his arms.he never changed, still loves me, still loves me, very bad lo" said devi in his arms, even though his love I never returned. I was still surprised at him, for two years he was far from me, what is possible in jogja he did not find someone who made him fall in love, strange.


sedekit tells the story, the origin of the kulon rhino base was created.


in the beginning, the place was ordinary, there was nothing interesting.a place on the edge of the times, with the edges that had been irrigated, there were pillars of retaining land so as not to longsong, the, at one time there was a housing. more precisely the rhino kulon base right behind the fence of the housing itself.


during High School, I often hang out with street children.One of my friends named revelation, he was the chairman, he was also a mentor who taught me to play musical instruments. Actually, he was also a mentor, the revelation was the son of a rich man, it's just that in the house he did not get the attention he deserved. His parents were just busy thinking about work, that's the trigger he could spend time on the streets, the, than at home.


our activities as street children, is to find boredom, we like to hang out, sometimes make money by busking. Every day we always go around in the city center.on one day, we are always going to, we find boredom with the place.Revelation once said: "if life is to be balanced, every day we are in the crowd, sometimes we need a quiet place to contemplate and calm the mind.


we decided to walk without direction and the purpose of leaving the crowd. accidentally, one of our friends suddenly went to pee, that's where he threw away his wishes.We are waiting, we are waiting, seeing the revelation being imagined, moving their hands, if put this and it will look interesting. spontaneously he determines. "here our headquarters." all who hear are confused. "what pulled him out of that place?" the place is no longer quiet, but very quiet.


since finding the place, the revelation invites us to revitalize, the name of the chairman, no one dares to defy it. The money collected was finally opened, to buy some equipment, such as paint, to buy some, wood, nails, kabe, lights and other knickknacks. Every day we always try to find money, so that the headquarters quickly realized.on the outskirts of times, we paint it. making a seat from the tires of a used car, to the cans of unused drums.is magic, it did not take long the place was finished.although not quite luxurious, but interesting.


upon completion, the revelation gave a name to the place, namely the kulo rhinoceros base, or often in short as the PBK. The name given is not necessarily origin, but contains meaning. Base which is defined as a berthing, anyone who needs to be alone, or need a new friend, the base can be an alternative. Rhino said rhino taken from the symbol of pandeglang regency. Kulon which is in the western sense.according to the location map, pandeglang regency is at the western point of the island of Java.


over time, the members of street children are increasing.peak when I served as chairman of the school's osis, as well as incorporated in the art of Pandavas.in pandawa activities, pandawa, we like to be confused to determine the place if you want to hold a meeting.I as a member of the rhino kulon, had asked for permission so that the base can be used as a meeting place for pandawa children.


when my pandaw friends saw the place, they found it very interesting.they were ready to help with the massive restoration.I regret a little, having shown them the place, if in the end the street children will be set aside.the place is not a place to contemplate anymore, but a place to date, after local officials intervened.began to provide shops, shops, and, or any other coffee place.


after the place became crowded, the revelation said goodbye, and handed it to me. Until now I no longer know where the revelation is.


play back.back to the devi who embraced me.


from the stage, Leni again throws a tantrum with her loudspeaker: "because our commander is already present in the middle, it is not perfect not to go up on stage, to contribute his voice." leni said through the microphone.


devi immediately dragged me, pulling the narik up to the stage.to the stage, devi again sat in front of her kyeboard, I approached beni, she also gave her tos to me. untrue, I also approached the ridwan and arif who was holding the drum and guitar.


leni handed her mic to me while whispering in the ear. "meera is also present in this place, have you met what a balloon?" I shook my head, not knowing that meera was present at the place.


"before I sing, may I speak first?" I said through the microphone


parahadirin responded by answering in unison "can."


"they said that the night looked dark and gripping, but to us, the night was beautiful. because we saw, beyond the sky the moon was present to give light." everyone cheered as they clapped.


"night is not just a change of time, when the sun sinks, but the night gives meaning, where God wants to show his power, through the exposure of starlight and moon, when each other in pairs reflects the light.


I started singing a song by a naff band, titled I finally found you. The lyrics of the song could represent my meeting with meera, even though I didn't see her whereabouts, but I'm sure, if he was in that place, he would have heard it.


when he came down from the stage, he recalled a whisper from Lenin who told him that meera was in that place.The speech made me believe in disbelief. through a voice call, I called meera to make sure that she picked up the call from me, but her voice was noisy enough to not hear one by one what she was saying, if meera was in that place, because from the sound of the phone, the same sound of music was heard from the stage.I hung up the phone, then sent a text message "I'll wait in the tejo-pack shop!" a tavern located in the neighborhood of the kulon rhino base.I hope meera can find it.


at the tejo pack store, meera arrived.I greeted her "hi." she smiled and sat in front.she did not come alone, but with dian, I also greeted her "hi yan!" dian groped while nodding once.


"old time?" my many.


"before you go on stage, we're already in this place."


"or from whom?"


"leni told me to come here! ye know? I was made a tool for him to attract you to this place."


"got pity! anyway, why would you want to follow Leni's orders? he's a pervert."


I do not know, the arrival of meera to that place was only made a tool for Lenin, to lure me to come.


"i did not expect, the arrival of Danu was greeted very festively, it has been considered like a super star so. I also did not expect, it turns out my boyfriend is a commander for his gank. but very dear, I was very happy, why does he love a woman like me, what does she see, and what happens to her?" meera said why.


I replied, "that they should blame! why can't they make me fall in love, who should be grateful to you, because when I see you, God is smiling."


one question from meera. "the words you said on stage earlier, for whom?"


a question from meera for me, able to be heard by devi, leni and beni, who just arrived at the tejo pack store. unfortunately they did not meet me directly, he said, because they saw that I was with someone. Leni had not told them anything about meera, so beni and devi did not know that meera was my lover.


"who are those words for?" answer me to meera's question.


"for who?" meera asked for force.


"do you really want his name called?"


"whatever!" meera answered ambek, but she knew that I was referring to her, but that was the woman, who liked to be praised and noticed.


"the words were for my moon. When my night was dark, he came with his light.When I had no direction, he led me to create a purpose.He taught me to smile, to smile, though his soul was in the midst of grief.I do not know, how will it be, if the moon closes the light."


"who is the moon?"


"for you."


meera smiled more and more, her heart flowered.that night seemed to be her night.but not with devi, I did not realize its existence, if I knew, I could not over-praise meera, I did not think, just to keep his feelings.


devi felt disappointed, even heartbroken, after hearing my praise for meera. she ran away from the tejo pack shop, leni shouted "dev. where are you going?" because of the cry of leni that makes us turn. leni chasing devi. while beni just fixated to dwell in confusion. I approached him to ask what happened?


"the admirer you tuh, have heard everything.maybe he was disappointed." replied beni. I immediately understood it which in the intent is devi.


"that was devi?" ask meera.


"ok you know?" my answer.


"jeez, I'm so not feeling good.leni has told me about him, who always wished his love to danu."


"that's part of love, there are consequences to be accepted."


ever since I loved, I started not caring about other people's feelings, I thought it was a choice, but according to meera, I should be able to keep the feelings of others, he said "I can't dance on someone else's cries" said Meera.


almost half the night, I, meera, dian, leni and beni, talked cheerfully in the tejo pack shop of the kulon rhino base. I introduced meera to beni, and narrated the beginning of our meeting until dating. beni and Leni also told their silliness to the point that it could be. "I have to thank you lo nu! because you are far from leni, he can fall in love with me." said praise from beni for me.


"lo shadow ben! if, if you have not become the same person.I can end up in demand, even I have to hide my relationship the same time, otherwise it can be burned down by my house" I replied.


"akh damn you two this." said leni. "was I had time to think nu, if the beni is wearing a gun, why I could like him. after I traced it turned out to be true, if the beni, and lo who became his shaman." added leni with guyon.all made to laugh at his behavior.


the night of the turn of the year was only a few days.leni and beni had planned to celebrate on the island umang, some other friends had agreed, they both invited me and meera to come along. how could I refuse it, how could I refuse it, they insisted, I followed him, which was important not to be paid, but he refused the invitation, the reason: "where may I have fun, while my mother was dying at home." we read, he also allowed me to go with them.


from the bottom of his heart, I actually wanted to express something that night, his wish, when the new year's night came I could come with my family to his house to propose to him, but his wish was not able to be revealed because it was the same plan my friends.


at 1 am, I drove meera and dian back to his dorm in his car. arrived in front of his dorm, before watching him leave I had time to say: "a few more days, a few more, we will close this beautiful year.all the stories that we have been through together, have been recorded neatly in this diary book.all almost feels sweet, until I call it sweet memoris. you don't have to worry, years change, it doesn't mean our love will pass. I'll still love the same person, like last year."


"the hardest thing I have to accept when we meet, is the separation. After you leave, as soon as possible I want to fall asleep, because the dream will bring me back to you. doesn't the dream come from something we often think about, how not, every day I always think of you." meera replied.


the sweet story was closed, as meera smiled as she said: "be careful on the road!"
