GIRL UNDER THE MOON
part of yesterday
it felt like just yesterday, I found a seed, in the middle of a barren and arid field.I brought it, and I planted it in the yard of the heart.I hope it will grow and develop. someday he will be a place where I lean from fatigue, and take shelter from the heat of the sun.
the long journey on Sunday night was over, although at the end of his absence I spent the night awake, because I could not let the night pass. but that night had been inscribed in the diary in black ink, as a full moon night longed.
arrived in the morning. A steeping of warm coffee served on a plate of glass plate. A plate of fried krispi banana with a sprinkling of chocolate on it, complete the dish on the table of the stall bi eem. remember the bi eem shop? the stall opposite the school where meera taught. deliberately I came without preaching it first, like the word people gave him a surprise. and also deliberately waited at the food stall bi eem, bi eem, because I was still afraid that if I met the security man, he would have made the calculation last night.
grab the phone in the pants pocket, then turn it on. open the contacts menu, scroll down looking for the contact name GR {Gadis Rembulan} it's the contact name.
I tried to contact him. tut.... tut... tut... the ringing was heard. one call from me went unanswered. "is he still asleep?" I asked in my sanitary napkin. I put the phone on the table, hoping he'd call me back.
before long, my phone rang, signaling an incoming call.when I saw the call from meera.
"if the faithful sun greets the earth with its rays, then I faithfully greet the heart with his love!" answer me in his call, not letting meera say it first.
"keep...!" the answer.
"i have sailed far, sailed the ocean.weary my hands paddled, fragile my feet pedaled, but I did not find diamonds and diamonds. but I saw the sparkle of pearls tucked between the sand."
"now you've come here, you bring a proposal! I think you're talented to be a literature teacher! early in the morning had breakfast poetry, where full!" sindirnya.
I told him that I would be more willing to apply for him, and become a teacher for our children later, rather than a teacher at school.
that morning, through a voice call, I told him that I was waiting at the bi eem stall.
--o0o---
an hour passed, finally meera came to see me in the shop bi eem. what she saw, she saw I was asleep, sitting, dressed next to the arm. "false.." she lamented.
"nu. nu... wake nu! so what?" he woke me up, shaking my back.
I then woke up, my eyes a little blurred, the eyes were getting red. "who are you?" I asked him to pretend.he didn't answer, just sitting in the face, with his face lashing. "are you my girlfriend?" said my guyon back.
he kicked the table, his voice heard. "want me to slap, did I flush with water, so that you might come to your senses?"
"if you kiss me how?"
those days were more beautiful, a dark view of a taste, now shrouded in pearl light.Love had lifted me up and placed me on high, whatever was visible to the eye, and love had lifted me up, it will look amazing.
he brought me a glass of clear water. "have a drink!"
he looked at me closely, his eyes sharp, then asked "you must not have slept well, from last night?" tanyanya so care. I also refute the allegations. then she insists that I slept last night where?
I replied that I slept in a widow's house.
"w.. why dong?" surprised response.
"not an angel anymore, but crackers too!"
he pinched my cheek, he said don't be naughty.
there is no reason to forget that day, the day that will become longing.when he was about to leave with his song he asked. "where are we going?" then I said: "how luxurious the place is, it wouldn't feel special if it wasn't with the right people, but how bad it would be if it came with the right people, happiness will come with it."
"just tell me the place! do not use any argument!"
at nine o'clock in the morning, I had already taken her away without telling her where to take her, and on top of the bonbar I told her to hug me, but she refused with a fear answer. I wanted to know what I meant by him. He answered again "his crazy fear." he thought I was crazy.
"but you like it, right?" my many.
"well..if it continues to be forced, it does not rule out the possibility!"
a few kilo meters of my motor drove. I took a stop at the house om iwan. the location is not far from the square pandeglang. meera gelagap not understand from my point of stopping in front of the house om iwan. "why quit? have we reached the place you promised?"
"come in for a minute! I want to collect the same debt that owns this house!"
om iwan is the younger brother of my father. I once lived with them for some time, after graduating high school, I no longer live with them in place by my sister delisa. delisa replaced my position, delisa, he lived and attended the same school as me. At that time he was in class 12 majoring in IPA. while I used to major in IPS.
I was no stranger to the house. I started entering the fence which happened to be unlocked, I asked meera to follow. knocked on the door, then gave her a greeting. "assalammualaikum!"
"yaroseam!" sahut who has a house. in the door of the house, a little surprised aunt Lisa found me with a woman. "danu...!" he said excitedly.he scratched his head. "uh.. same who the hell?" meera smiled as she looked down when aunt lisa's gaze was on her.misik aunt lisa continued to tease, as she brought us in, asking who was the woman I was with. then I said that she was my future wife who I would introduce to them.
hearing my words, angrily meera held back the pace.she pulled my arm, while warning me not to talk carelessly about her.
"try to see this! who's coming?" the word aunt lisa called. om iwan who was sitting while reading the newspaper immediately looked. my sister delisa who was playing with erfan also took a look, her face was so astonished "kak danu.."
meera who does not know who they are increasingly confused, her eyes are beautiful here and there. I allow her to sit. she also sat in front of om iwan. I introduce meera to om and my aunt, I will introduce meera to om and my aunt, calling him a girlfriend. his eyes are conical, the eyes are getting narrowed, cynical views are starting to show against me.
"Finally, you answered aunt nu's doubt!"
"What's the question tan?"
For a long time I lived with them, often I took friends to play in the house, especially girlfriends, but none of them I admitted as a girlfriend, he said, maybe that's what my aunt doubts about me.
"After graduating from school, what's busy now nu?" Ask me about iwan.
"Busy loving you! "
Everyone was made to be intrigued by my answer.
"Om know, you want to go to college. Om also know, you do not want to burden your parents, and you also more let your sister delisa who goes to college. According to your advice, you better work first! I'll take employee classes."
At that time, om iwan told me to work, he would recommend to enter the news agency. But I felt like being a reporter or a journalist wasn't my field, so I turned down the offer.
Om iwan can't say anything else, he knows I'm a man who can't be forced.
Delisa brought me two drinks and meera. "Delisa, know this. Your sister-in-law's candidate!"
He smiled as he stuck out his right hand. "Relisa." Introducing yourself to meera. Meera shook her hand. "Meera." said.
"Mother must be proud, have a daughter-in-law as beautiful as meera!" Delisa said to praise.
"Mom knows!" My answer.
Delisa was amazed, she sat down next to me.
"Are you going home?" Ask delisa.
"He came alone!"
Meera did not accept my statement, without mercy her hand pinched my stomach hard.
"Rism.. His wife is that inspiration?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"The last return of kk. Apparently there's something!"
I pulled delisa, to get away from them. There's something I want to talk about. He I brought into his room. In the room, I whispered something. "You have a stash of money? Kk pinjem first!"
"Ooh.. Turns out I came here just to borrow money?" Hehe.
"Don't cry! Later om, auntie same meera listen!"
The point of coming to that house was not to collect a debt, but I wanted to borrow money from my sister. I took meera for a walk, but the condition of the wallet was very worrisome.
Not at length anymore, delisa gave me 50k, he said only that much money he had. I didn't offer it anymore and took it.
Delisa and I went back to the living room. Aunt Lisa was suspicious, with my actions attracting delisa .
"Well you whisper what'an de?" Ask aunt lisa. With a smile delisa shook her head. He covered everything.
"Whoa. I don't know aja bun! At most the danu, already his sister's malakin." Om iwan said.
One thing that amazed me at that time, was the response of aunty Lisa who gave me money, without meera. Aunt Lisa asked me for the keys, I gave them to her. Aunt Lisa came out to my bike, she opened the trunk and slipped 200k.
Soon she returned, then a text message came in from aunt lisa. "Later to open the trunk!"
I have to admit, the kindness of om and aunt to my family is huge. According to their narration, it is not comparable to my father's sacrifice to om iwan first.
I plash back a little about the story of om iwan and my father. My father was the second of 7 children. While om iwan 7th child. At the age of 7, om iwan has been abandoned by my grandfather. My father became the backbone of his family, because he was the oldest son.
Years passed, my father's older sister and younger sister, began to build a household, one by one of them went with her husband. There are those in Jakarta, bandung even in kalimantan. The only ones still living in Pandeglang are my father and om iwan. All daily expenses om iwan is borne by my father. Until Iwan went to college, worked until marriage, all intervened my father.
Me and delisa were sent to school by om iwan, to repay my father's kindness first.
"Where are you going now?" Ask me about iwan.
"You need to go for a walk!" My answer.
"Yes. Which way do you mean?" "It just so happens, today, we all want to go to the cape dimung. Your mom and dad are coming too. Are you guys coming too?"
"No.. Itumah's a family event!"
That day, they will go on vacation. Delisa's meeting my mom. I was worried that he would tell my mother if I came to borrow the money. I could be wiped out by him.
Initially my plan to borrow money to delisa in secret, but I slipped when reminded of delisa. "De's.. Don't tell me if I borrow your money!" After waking up to my words, I immediately silenced my own mouth.
Aunt lisa started to shake her head.
"That's it.. What did dad say! Si danu must be his sister's malakin." Answer om iwan's guess.
My aunt asked me to return the money back.
"You have capital!" Syndir om iwan cruel.
Meera doesn't talk much in that house. But from the look on his face, he was holding something back. I'm sure, he must have bombarded me with a row of sneers after coming out of the house.
---000---
I continued the journey with meera. the wheel rotation continues to move, passing green trees lined up waiting for the sun to shine on it.
"do you know nu..?"
"don't!"
"i~ih.." lamented spoiled, while ************ my shoulder. "you've lied to me!"
"it's for my own good."
"but I don't like it! he said he wanted to pay off debt! it's in debt."
"but I like it!"
"love in debt?"
"like you!" hehehe
arriving at the destination, after passing through the uphill road.his place at the foot of the coral mountain, cinyurup village, juhut village, karangtanjung sub-district, pandeglang district.the beautiful blue sky, the, the clouds follow the wind, the morning bowed in freshness, spread on the yellow tapestry of the rice fields, the mountain looks handsome, towering full of power.This is the piece of heaven, which God entrusts to this country.
when the tip of my motor stopped.meera stuck out his foot on the ground, to get down from the top of my motor. his face was dumbfounded, his mouth gaping.
"what is this, which is called the sheep village of nu?" tanyakanya.
I nodded to answer his question while putting the helmet on the rearview mirror. "have you been here before?" my many.
he shakes his shoulders. Complete with a headband. "i only know through the media!"
"ach.the game is not far off!" my little quip, "that's how lucky you are to be my girlfriend."
his eyes bulged.I was silent with a frown on my forehead.want to laugh.
"when have we been girlfriends?" tanyakanya.
"from the first day I met."
"can you?"
"can be."
he scratched his head. "there's an abyss!" his hand pointed. "want me to push there?"
"wih."
"ouh. I know now! can't you take me to the sheep village? you want to go home the village turns out." said meera mocking.
"i brought you here, because there are many lambs that have no mother."
the day in the sheep village is not yet over. continued in the next chapter.
