Chapter 11: Waking up from my sleep

Luna POV 🌙

I woke up from my sleep and regained consciousness. In the room I lay down quietly without any accompanying sound. In addition to the sound of motorbikes or vehicles passing on the highway near my house.

The clock has shown at ten in the morning. Time still looks morning. I have to go take a shower after that I'm going to buy a little meal outside.

I miss Dad. When will Dad be home?

I take a shower and clean my body. After the shower, I held my phone again while continuing my story. Sometimes I get bored and move to the live apk. So next. Sometimes when I feel accomplished, I fall asleep in my room reading a book or listening to music.

Until finally I came home at about two in the afternoon. I happen to be sitting in the living room chair.

Dad went inside and saw me. He stepped past me, I tried to greet him before he got to his room.

"Have you come home, huh..?"

"Yes dear." Dad then turned towards me and kissed me on the forehead.

"Dad love Luna."

I smiled, Dad said that. I remember Mom. I love you as much as Dad. But you don't want me to live with Mom, she said you're lonely if I'm not home.

So Mom gave up. I live with my family in Bekasi.

Dad went into his room. I want to tell Dad later that Dad's lying in the room. Leave Dad alone in his bedroom. Maybe Dad's still tired.

I didn't borrow Dad's bike because I still wanted to stay home and talk to him.

I intended to go to Dad's room but Dad went to the bathroom first. I returned to the living room chair to sit back while typing the story on the apk.

I don't know why my feelings have changed. I want to have a guy for me to make a girlfriend later. God, what happened.

I then went to Dad's room after Dad had finished his bath. I saw Dad changing clothes. I peeked at Dad from behind the door.

"Dad." I called him. Dad looked at me.

"Luna, just a minute, I'm gonna change clothes first. You wait outside." said my father. You made me wait for him outside.

I'm still pulling over without having to see Dad when I get changed.

Dad then told me to come in.

"Come on Luna, I'm done changing" she said.

I walked in with slow steps while looking around Dad's room. There are several photos of Indian artists such as Mandiri Dixit and Shahrukh Khan photos of their father sticking on the wall.

There are some Indonesian Artists such as Abi Dhar Al-Ghifari and Micel Zyudit.

Father printed the download photo from his cellphone to paste on the wall of his room.

"The photo is good. Cool! I like Abi Dhar Al-Ghifari son of Om Jefri Al-buchori. You know him?"

"No, I only knew Abi in movies. Sometimes I watch him on you tube." Dad explained.

"Oh." I answered.

After that I waited for my father to sit on the bed as usual. "What's Luna? Have you eaten?"

"Not Dad. Luna sleeps all day and plays. Luna just ate it with Dad."

"Then I invite you to eat out while riding a motorcycle. You want to, right..?"

"Yes want Dad! Hooray..!" I screamed loudly as I ran out of Dad's room. I then ran back to Dad's room while waiting for Dad to get ready to leave the room.

"Yeah!" Dad took me, I followed him from behind.

Dad walked up and opened the front door and picked up the motor that was placed on the front porch of the house near the wall fence.

Dad dropped his motorcycle down and he was ready to sit on his bututu motorcycle.

"Luna, let's go up!"

Dad looked at me and as he took me up to sit on his bike. I straightened my feet to get on Dad's bike.

Office owned white Beat motor. Father was given a loan of Beat motorcycles during his work in Aliyas' office.

My dad and I ended up traveling on that cute little Beat bike. I saw an elongated highway with a few riders passing by just like that. I felt happy and wanted to hug Dad.

"Dad, where are we going..?"

"We're looking for food in the town square" my father replied to me.

Father then stopped at the outskirts of the city square which had a lot of sales carts. Some sell meatballs, ice degan, hodgepodge and chicken noodles. There is also chicken satay and fried rice.

There are a variety of foods and cuisines that are there if you want to buy or try it.

My dad and I both ate there. I ordered iced tea too. After eating, Dad and I went home.

When I returned, I saw Kinan screaming and running past me. He ran towards the highway. Kinan ran away from his father.

Kinan's father continued to chase Kinan with his wooden punching device all the way to the highway. It's so sorry, Kinan. Hope Kinan's dad doesn't hit Kinan.

I don't want Kinan to get hurt or hurt.

"Well in!" Dad took me in. I entered the house and stopped in the living room. I went towards the window while waiting for Kinan to come.

Dad's still putting his Beat motorcycle on the front porch.

"Luna, what do you see?"

"I'm waiting for Kinan back Dad! I want to know Kinan's situation!" answer me to Dad.

A little bit I know that Kinan likes to be angered by his father, Bento. I don't know what Kinan did until Mr. Bento got angry with him.

After a long time I saw Mr. Bento turning himself back without Kinan. I saw Kinan running towards my house.

Permission to type my house from outside.

"Luna.please open the door!"

Kinan called me to open the door of my house. I immediately went outside to open the door towards Kinan.

"What's up Kinan? You've been beaten up by your father?"

"Well, can I come in for a second?"

"Yes please."

Eventually Kinan managed to get into my house. Now Kinan is my friend who is in a state of fear. I feel so ordinary because Mr. Bento is not my father.

If only Dad were mad at me, maybe I would have the same fate as Kinan. But all my life, Dad has never been mad at me unless I skipped school like I used to when I was at Taruna State School in Tangerang. 

I then focused on Kinan. Looking at her who was frightened and sitting down by myself, I felt sorry to see her.

"Kinan, you calm down here. I'll take care of you." I said to Kinan.

Kinan was silent, he was still frightened.

Before long Kinan asked for drinking water, I got Kinan some drinking water. Kinan drank water in front of me, I saw it for myself.

Kinan then gave his glass to me.

"You're thirsty, aren't you?"

I asked Kinan, but Kinan kept quiet.

"Dad wanted to hit me earlier."

"Yes I know. Sick huh?"

"Yes sick. Dad used to hit me like that. I made him afraid. Dad's so mean to me."

Kinan speaks stammering - brick. Kinan was still afraid.

"Kinan, you don't have to be afraid, here I am!" I spoke pretty loud until my father heard.

"Luna, who are you talking to..?"

Dad came towards me, he came out from the direction of the room. He saw me and Kinan sitting opposite. I looked towards my father. Seeing him coming towards me.

"Luna, he's Mr. Bento's son?"

"Yes. You know Kinan?"

"No. I don't know him. I know Bento's father." Dad explained to me.

"I rarely - rarely see this child in his house" he continued.

"I'm used to the room, Om." Kinan spoke to Dad.

Kinan dared to talk to Dad even though Kinan didn't know Dad.

I asked Kinan, because I thought he didn't dare to talk to Dad. I think Kinan is still afraid to talk to other people.

I approached Kinan.

"Kinan, what exactly happened to you until you were angered by Mr. Bento?"

"Not only angry with Dad, but he wants to be beaten by Mr. Bento! I saw Kinan running in front of me!" obviously I went to Dad.

Daddy just shut up.

"Kinan, tell Om."

Kinan was silent not wanting to tell a story. That means Kinan doesn't want a story.

"Let Kinan shut up. Kinan doesn't want to tell a story." I continued.

Dad left me and Kinan. I sat on the sofa, I let Kinan sit down. Soon Kinan asked to go home.

I opened the front door of my house and Kinan went home alone. I have absolutely no idea what exactly happened. Kinan just left without me ignoring him.

"Luna?" Dad called me.

"You're not sleeping?"

"No Dad, Luna still wants to stay here. Luna still wants to play hp here Dad!"

"Luna, get here! Give it to Daddy! You just learn!"

Dad insisted on telling me to read a book of knowledge that made me lazy. I prefer story books.

I had to take that phone off for a while. Let the phone be held by Dad first, later I can ask him back.

I went inside the bedroom while picking up books on the bookshelf in the guest house. I then fell in the room.

I don't feel like it's late at night. The sound of adzan magrib was heard in the musolla near the house.

I saw Dad getting ready to go to Musolla for congregational prayer.

"Dad you want to go to Musolla?"

"Yes, I'll stay for a while" he told me.

"Yes." I answered.

Dad went to Musolla alone without being accompanied by anyone. I'm still waiting for Dad to ask me after Dad gets home from Musolla.

I still want to pray magrib and take wudlu.

As I was about to do the magrib prayer, I heard a fuss outside. I heard Mr. Bento's voice. I also heard Kinan's voice shouting.

"No Dad, Kinan doesn't want to pray! Kinan wants to play a game!"

I heard Kinan's voice coming from his house. I continue to pray magrib.

I got out of my bedroom after finishing the magrib prayer. I don't hear Kinan's voice anymore.

I then stepped towards the living room to sit for a while. I heard a crying voice. That's Kinan's voice.

I opened my door and tried to see Kinan outside.

I saw Kinan curled up while crying outside his house. I went to Kinan at his house.

I put my foot in Kinan's house. I walked towards Kinan myself.

The front atmosphere of the Kinan house is dark without lighting. Mr. Bento is a real slacker. At least there was a lamp installed on the front roof of the house.

"Kinan, what's wrong with you? Are you crying again?"

Kinan looked at me with Nanar's gaze and disliked it.

"What are you coming for!? I didn't call you here!"

Kinan doesn't like me coming, I still want to stay with Kinan.

"Kinan, I'm here because I want to know why you?"

"I'm fine!"

"You crying?"

"I just remember Mom! You don't need to know that!" Kinan jerks at me.

"Remember Mom? You don't have to lie to Kinan! You've been beaten up by Mr. Bento, haven't you!?"

Kinan was silent, and he went into the house and locked the door of his house tightly. I decided to leave the house with a feeling of annoyance.

I stepped back into the porch and stepped to open the door. I opened the door and closed it again.

I saw Dad sitting in the living room chair. I told Dad straight away.

"Dad, can I have my phone?"

"Later after the sibling. I still want to teach. You go to the room first."

I stepped into the room and sat down while thinking. Why is Dad holding me to hold hp. Why would Kinan cry like that? Kinan is already big and has grown up.

I exhaled a lethargic breath. I cleaned my bed that looked dirty. God, help me. Make me happy in this house.

My prayer in my heart.

I then found a book to read. I picked up Mas Tere Liye's Earth storybook aka mas Darwis.

The story in it is about the adventures of parallel worlds. I read it for a while and followed the plot.

I like the three characters in the novel. There were Raib, Seli and Ali. They were three moon clan fighters.

Adhan isyak sounded, I'm happy because dad will share his phone with me again.

I saw Dad from behind the door of his room that was half open. I saw Dad praying in the room. Dad still looks handsome in white Koko clothes, black peci and chocolate gloves - flowers.

I dream of getting a man like Dad later. I would be happy if I had a husband like Dad. But that plan is later if I grow up and graduate college.

Tomorrow is Tuesday. I'll go to work again as usual to Aliyas' office.

But I'm gonna tell Dad to sign up for school tomorrow. I want to get into a new school quickly. State School in the city.

I'll wait for Dad to finish praying.

After seeing Dad finish praying in his room, I called Dad.

"Dad!"

"Yes Luna! Let's get you the HP for a second!"

I'm waiting for Dad to take my phone in his room. I don't know where Dad keeps my phone.

Dad called me. "Luna yesterday, here's the phone!"

I went in and took my phone whose battery was half. Later I will charge the battery hp to be full.

And I'll have to wait a few hours until the phone's battery is full.

"Thank you Dad."

I went back to my room after meeting Dad in front of her. I wonder why Kinan would not be friends with me. Is it the mobile season now?

At the very least, Kinan wants to be alone with me while playing a game or something. That was my dream with Kinan.

Not even have to see Kinan crying because he was beaten up by Mr. Bento who dressed up as a bastard.

I stayed in my room while opening the app. I walked towards the living room and saw the front door open.

As I was about to close the door, I saw Dad alone smoking a cigarette.

"Dad, Daddy smokes?"

"Yes, baby, why?"

"It's okay. Just, Luna long time no see Daddy smoking."

Dad smiled at me. Dad then smoked his cigarette and puffed his cigarette smoke out through his mouth.

Most men like to smoke. Sometimes his mouth looks black.
