GIRL UNDER THE MOON

GIRL UNDER THE MOON
exertion



the foggy morning lifted me up to wake up. With the word "tumben." I put my face up with two hands, said "alhamdulillah" praising the god who still let me live on his earth. "may luck be on my side!"


at 07 wib. I was tidy and ready to go to maja. ceaselessly my mother shook her head, inexhaustible with the behavior of her unusual son. I also left without saying goodbye, he said, to meet the idol of my heart named meera.


one hour drive at standard speed.at 08:00 wib. I set foot in the school yard where he teaches.but unfortunately, the gate is closed tightly plus a lock that hangs. I scratched my head. "how did it get in?" ask myself. 


I walked up to the gate, looking for an empty gap to enter. The fence was high enough, could not if I had to climb it. I looked around, security man was on standby at his post. I tried to draw sympathy from him, by tapping the padlock to produce a loud sound.Hearing a noise from behind the fence, security sir immediately came to check it. 


he came up to me with a grim face. "what's wrong?" the question was high-pitched. Before answering, I threw a smile at him. "met morning sir!" greeting him. "hem" just muttered without his teeth visible from him.


   "my name is danu. I want to meet someone at this school.!"


   "who do you want to meet, and what are your interests?" 


waduh, I have to find a way. how can escape the question of security sir's firm. if I say want to meet with meera. could be a long question that will be asked by him.


  "this is it, sir! I follow the order in this school. don't interfere when the lesson hours take place." 


  "yes, continues?"


  "let me go in, and wait in the father's post, until the time of rest comes!" the offer I made made made him not think long, he opened the gate and let me in. 


  "your motorbike isn't brought in?" ask security sir.


   "let's say, I put it in a stall across the street." 


until finally I was in the security post, some questions we threw at each other. I felt there was less, if chatting without a warm cup of coffee. I give money of 50k, I give money, for security to buy him coffee, and the rest for him. 


but I ordered, in order to buy his coffee in the front stall only, as well as checking the condition of my motorbike that was traveling there. Stupidly, security sir would just follow my orders. I had arranged it before, he said, and working with the owner of the stall in sebrang.the security man will not be back in two hours.so I am free to find meera inside. 


I walked through class after class, but had not found the existence of meera. the sound of the bell was heard, as a sign that the lesson hours would change. from a distance, I saw meera who entered one of the rooms. soon I came to the room and noticed from outside the way meera taught the children to speak English. 


incidentally, on the ground there was a piece of paper lying down, as well as a pen that still had a little ink.I started writing a word on the piece of paper, after it was finished, and then I started writing, I folded the paper to make an airplane. 


while sneaking around a little I opened the window, in order to fly the plane.Oh shit some of the students saw my whereabouts. "silence, don't be noisy!" I asked them, and I flew the plane. 


the paper plane did not land directly on meera, who was writing on the drill board, but on one of the students, so the friends who saw laughed at him. the student who was hit by the paper plane picked it up, he unfolded the folds until they formed normally, and found some poetic words that I wrote, though not loud, but in one room he read the writing. "I don't understand the language you taught them! the same is the case with the cluelessness of this soul when away from you. "if English has a formula, then teach that formula to me. If you love you there are demands, then give me space to fill it! danu."


hearing such a thing, he made meera stop her writing.she took the paper from her student. "where did you get this?" meera asked. some students pointed out the window.meerapun open the window found me who was squatting to hide. "danu. why are you there?" 


   "hehe. I want to study with the teacher's mother!" my answer. 


   "it's lesson time, so please don't bother yah!"


   "i'm waiting for you in the cafeteria! when the break comes." I told him. 


an hour had I spent in the cafeteria, just to wait for meera. the sound of the bell was heard, indicating that the time of rest had arrived.this time, my confidence was a little doubtful. 


right, the doubt was answered. when there was a woman who came to me but not meera. "you must be danu yah?" ask the woman.I nod my head in my heart saying "ko does she know my name?" though I had never met him before, he stuck out his hand to introduce himself "gw dina!" say his name. "gw meera. he told me to meet you in the cafeteria!" 


   "where's the music going?" my many.


when I was about to meet me in the cafeteria, the headmaster suddenly called meera. Not wanting to disappoint me, meera assigned a dina to accompany me for a moment, before her business was finished with the principal. 


while sitting with a few drinks at the table.dina asked: if you can know, you ready meera?"


   "kalo lo believe, I'm the future candidate!" I answered. hearing that, a little make in the mesem-mesem. 


  "most likely to get a candidate is only two! one yes, and two no." "it all depends on his own fate and destiny." he continued.


  "god has predestined me with him, if not, then I will ask him!"


  "wi~h is very optimistic." timpal dina.


actually, meera and the headmaster's business was only for a short while, and at that moment she rushed towards the cafeteria.it was just that she let me along in, while she hid and watched from a distance.


the break is over. "go back to class first!" he said his farewell to me. I also gave it to him. and left me a message to meera. "tell meera, I'm still waiting for him here."


the turn of the clock din ding kept rolling, I saw it on the cashier's table. Drowsiness began to come to me. because last night was only asleep for no more than two hours. I no longer feel like I slept in that place. 


between conscious and unconscious, I heard a female voice that read: "hi my future candidate!" my eyes are a little bleached. a little glare, like the appearance of meera's face. I rubbed both eyeballs, to make sure that he meera or not. like a dream in broad daylight, he said it meera, to make sure that he, and he actually met me in the cafeteria. Meera who was sitting in front of me, attentively watching me who was beginning to wake up. I pinched her cheeks. she screamed in pain. "sorry, I was just making sure, I was just making sure, that it's really you!" 


   "sick tofu!" spoiled neigh. 


   "could you come in?" tanya was surprised by the security guard in front. "usually only interested people are allowed in!" keep saying.


    "do you think this isn't important?"


   "your stubborn rich man, surely gk can be banned. or gk you bribe him well?" 


   "no, ngaco you! the man who securitizes him is kind, letting me meet his heart's adoration."


   "huh, I don't believe that! there must be a play behind!" "oh yeah, what do you want to come here?" tanyakanya.


  "want to ask, have you fallen in love yet?" 


  "there's no work!"


I do not need to describe that day, and the days to come. If that day is rejected, then I will come tomorrow, to ask again.if it is rejected again, then I will come in the days that follow, to ask the same thing.if he asks when, I will answer, until one of them gives up. whether he succumbed to his ego, or I succumbed to reality. 


   "do you know ra?"


   "he~em?"


   "i'm doing research here! for my big project later."


   "what project?" "is it looking for a material, which you will write for a book, which contains my name?"


   "get close to me, you're like a psychic! I can tell you what's on my mind." 


   "i can already read, with the mode you created."


meera once said: "it is not enough to be a poet, to make her fall in love!" then I asked "must be let alone?" he said: "you have to make me laugh!"


I answered the challenge.I can change myself like a poet, or replace it with a comedian, even become a motivator at once.anything I can do, I can do, because I was in a state of unconsciousness, as a result of being drunk with romance.


before closing the meeting, I asked her to date. a little jaim but finally wanted to. but with some conditions. The first one had to be on a Sunday night.the second I had to lend her a novel book. I think such a condition is very easy, but there is one thing that stuck, he did not give his mobile number, I think it is very important, to check his whereabouts. which he promised his photo in pandeglang square, without specifying the clock.


back to the security man's place.I'm a little worried that the security man can be angry, because I was too long in the school environment.I arrived at his post, the security sir was so enthusiastic to welcome me, so enthusiastic, it made me sting. He pulled me up and sat me down. 


his hand held my shoulder, then said: "sorry, you bought the coffee later!"  hearing her apology made me breathe a little.


  "gk papa! I was waiting for my father, too long ago? until the break came, my father did not come, so I decided to go in and find someone in there."


  "i'm so good!" said pak securiti. "so right to buy coffee, a lot of interference, a brand of coffee that mas want gk there, so must buy to the shop next door, lama~ again buy it! just want to be brewed, the hot water runs out, it must be cooked first. gk gets there, suddenly the gas runs out must wait to buy first, don't buy in that shop again!" that's the story of the security officer I told to buy coffee. 


I also left the school, and took the motorbike across the street. before I went home I had to stop by first at the stall that my motorbike had been tucked in. the name of the owner of the stall bi eem. "hi bi!" my broom when I enter. "eeh si aa, have you done the business? ask bi eem.


a few words of praise I said to bi eem. because he had managed to carry out my plan well. "the security guard must be a kapok, shopping at this stall again!" bi eem.


   "who do you want to meet at school?" kepo bi eem.


   "i want to meet meera bi!" 


   "ouh ce meera! aa's her boyfriend huh?"


   "aunt knows meera?" my many.


   "well known or a, will often hang out here, same friend named dina."


that day, back with luck still on my side, something I wanted, I would always fight for.
