Chapter 23

...NO MATTER HOW FAR WE ARE IN THE WORLD OUR HEARTS REMAIN TO REMEMBER WHAT IS REALLY HAPPENING IN US. ...

...YOU AND I WERE SEPARATED FOR A MOMENT. ...

...💔💔💔...

I had to go with Mas Septa. I rode a motorcycle with Mas Septa that I never thought I would go with him. Septa Agatha Mirza's. Nara Naura's brother Angelina is kind-hearted but mysterious. I forgot who I was in front of Mas Septa. "Sorry Mas Septa, may I ask you a question?"

I ventured to ask Mas Septa because from then on, I kept quiet, wanting to melt the atmosphere. "Ask what, didn't you ask a lot of questions?"

"Ask again..?"

"What about?"

"On the girlfriend."

"Sorry privacy."

I kept quiet when Mas Septa said privacy was like that. I understand what Mas Septa said. If it's called privacy, it can't be disturbed. I kept seeing Mas Septa driving behind me. At once Mas Septa was silent and made me realize.

"Stopped?"

"Yes, something collapsed like that."

There was a collapsed wood in front, so I thought about how I would get to Nara's house. Will I be close again to Mas Septa or will I be far away from him. Obviously, I'm not the one who's Mas Septa. But, why do I have to tend to Mas Septa whom I previously thought towards Yasa..!? Oh my God, what is the devil inside of me? I should try to forget the name Mas Septa.

"Sorry, sister what her name is, I forgot!" Oh my God, Mas Septa forgot my name. How many girls are on her list?

"I'm Luna Alya, Mas Septa. Luna Alya's. Do you remember..?" that's the answer I made to Septa. And that was enough to shock me and smile. Oh myGod. Helpme.

"Yes, Luna, I stopped for a minute to buy cigarettes" she told me. "Okay mas." I replied. I agree because the trip was fun. Glad that there was something I felt there. For sure I was still happy before it all ended miserably.

Mas Septa stopped by the side of the road and I got off the bike. I exhaled a lethargic breath. Looking at the vehicle going back and forth on the road for me to forget for a moment about Mas Septa.

Oh my God, Mas Septa again, what a hell is good. One day I will regret my behavior like this. I like the wrong people. I like people who don't expect me to be in their lives. Expect handsome men, sweet and polite but have no stash of heart for me.

Maybe this time I should have realized that Mas Septa was not for me. He's already bought a cigarette and will be driving again. I said, "Have a cigarette?"

"Male business" he said briefly. Oh lord. Mas Septa got on the bike first and then I got on after. Honestly, I'm embarrassed to be together with Mas Septa a motorbike. As if - will I this is his girlfriend or his future wife. What if Ayu Kak gets to know that Mas Septa is a motorcycle with me? Could be fucked later.

The journey is just a little longer, I have to be patient about this. And after that, everything will be gone. After a few minutes of walking, I finally arrived at my friend Nara Naura's house. Septa's House as well. But, I saw a motorcycle that I knew in the parking lot, did not know who the owner was.

"I'll stay first.."

"Yes, it's."

Mas Septa said goodbye, and I still hesitated to enter Nara Naura's house. Finally my friend came out.

"Eh Luna, come here, go inside!" Nara called me and told me to go inside. I went in without knowing what was going to happen. After I stepped into Nara Naura's house, my feet reached the guest house and what did I see? The man sat up and crowed on the couch holding his phone in his hand.

"Aldo, did you invite Aldo here?"

"No, Aldo's coming here himself. I didn't tell him to come. Already, sit down first. Everything's gonna be fine. Trust me the same!" Nara warned me as if nothing would happen.

I just sat on the couch not far from Aldo. I'm trying to look around, there's some moms whose way out is picking up something. This is Mas Septa's wedding. I noticed that Aldo was silent and didn't say hello to me.

"It was so arrogant that I didn't want to say hello. Though I know." I said to Aldo. His hand kept holding hp. "Sorry, it's busy. Oh yeah, you're the girl in school, right?"

"Yes." I replied in songong. "Why are you here? Numpang nginep?"

Aldo was silent, the person was a bit cold different from Mas Septa. "Excuse me..!" that voice melted my mood. Mas Septa came with a glass of drink. Oh my god, he's so nice.

"False Mas. The drinks are cold."

"Yes, cold. I just picked it up in the fridge." said Mas Septa.

"Alhamdulilah." I answered without shame. Maybe in Aldo's mind I'm a little caper or looking for people's attention. Alias likes to approach new people. Alias S.K.S.D which means Sok Knew Sok Near. It was a movie story I had read in various magazines.

I just sat down and looked at Aldi who was playing. The kid is cute too. But I didn't talk to him.

"Luna, I'm sorry to wait so long. The water is not in the drink..?"

"Oh yes, I was loved by Mas Septa, very happy" I said to Nara.

"Oh that, I told him that he was afraid you were thirsty or something. Oh yeah, Aldo, did you borrow the book?"

"Huh, so Aldo came here just to borrow a book?" I sat in for a minute. I think Aldo wants to see Nara as his ex-girlfriend.

"Aldo went straight away without drinking that water first. He bailed to Nara who was followed to the back. I was still sitting around long enough to see Nara back on the living room couch.

I looked at Mas Septa who was checking his phone. I would love to be accompanied by him.

"Yourself..?" suddenly Mas Septa came to see me. I seemed to want to cry because no one was able to accompany me at that time. I know that Nara still needs to be with Aldo outside her house.

"Yes, Nara came out with Aldo until now not back."

"Oh." Mas Septa then came to accompany me while pulling his cell phone. I'm trying to ask. "What's Septa again?"

"Again chat, you?"

"I've seen Mas Septa."

"Oh, you like to look at me..?"

Not like the legs anymore, but the persimmon is more than that. I really want to be Mas Septa's girlfriend and close to Ama Kak Septa whatever Mas Septa wants me. That's what's inside me now. Want to have Septa completely.

"Have you eaten?"

"It's not yet."

"Oh yeah, I'll call aunty first."

"Auntie..!" The maid came.

Mas Septa call the maid. The aunt came facing. Mas Septa immediately tell you to prepare the cuisine in the back. I'm not feeling good.

"You'll be eating with Nara soon."

"Sir Septa didn't eat..?" I'm a little disappointed with Mas Septa who didn't eat. He took a cigarette out of his pocket.

"No, I'm just smoking. You ate with Nara in the back. Aunt is still preparing."

"Yes brother. So, Brother Septa ate it when..?"

"What do you think?" that question surprised me. Honestly Mas Septa little bit has given me more attention.

"Hello, how good are you?" said Nara who suddenly came to me. I don't know when I can be honest with Nara if I like Mas Septa.

"Nara, I'll go back first. You ate the same thing as her name..?"

"Luna Sister?" Oh my god, Mas Septa forgot what my name was.

"Yes, you eat with Luna, I go to the room first to relax because it'll be willing to have a lecture" Septa explained to me. What, recitation, Oh my God, this event was a real surprise to me, a kind of surprise I never described before.

"Nara, what the hell is going on here?" I asked girly. What is it exactly. Why am I so happy tonight?

"You take it easy, you come eat with me after this. And don't forget, you'll sleep in my room coz I'll have to help make a cake in the back."

"I'd also like to help you make a cake in the back."

"No need, you're in my room. Don't go anywhere. Could Mas Septa be angry with me?"

"Anged, why get angry? Is Mas Septa Possessive or what..?"

"No, not so. Mas Septa vinegar message to me not to invite you to come make a cake."

"Reason..?"

"You asked the man yourself. I want to go back, afraid Auntie forgot to take the plate." Nara went to the back.

Oh my God, what is this really about. I have no idea what happened in this house. I feel like someone's holding me back and that's Mas Septa. I'm not free here. Just because of a trivial thing that I think is a big problem for myself.

"Mas Septa, I have to talk to him!" I was really upset at Mas Septa because I was made like this. Cannot help - help in the back. Though my intention is to stay over while helping to make a cake.

"Luna, let's go to the back. After this you go to my room to fold the wrapping paper! A little, not much!" nara said to me. That statement made me change my mind. The one I was upset about was no longer.

"Let's eat!" Nara invited me to eat in the back. There is already a variety of food available. There is white rice, omelet fried omelet, boiled eggs, stewed chicken fish, Satay, fried tempeh, rendang beef fish and many more.

"Why is your mother cooking this much like a variety of fish at the table? What's the show..?"

"It's not what Luna is doing. This is for the preparation of a meal together later for the Kiai and the other invitations or guests of honor. So, the rest of what we eat will be given to the kitchen people to eat."

"Oh, so besides this food there is still another food for the Kiai and taku invitation?"

"Yep!" nara said briefly.

"A lot of it, the food. I never dreamed of meeting this much food."

"Luna, this is a big event. This is my brother Septa's wedding. He worked hard before he held this event. Half the money for this event is Kak Septa's savings. So you don't have to worry." Nara explained to me.

"Yes. I am indebted to Mas Septa. Why don't you just eat Mas Septa with us..?"

"No, Brother Septa ate with Kak Ayu later finished Maghrib prayers. Ayu sister wants to come here with her parents for a ceremony."

Oh God! So Sis Septa has officially become her future husband Kak Ayu Andira? No, that's impossible! The person I love and dream of has been officially taken. And it was impossible for me to expect to see Mas Septa again.

"Luna, what's wrong with you? Something's going on..?"

Nara made me cry and moan that time. Mas Septa's face I've recorded here, in my mind.

How not, if since the first time I met Brother Septa I was immediately made drunk and fell in love with him. And it was my chance to be with him for that time only. The rest of Mas Septa never knew how I felt to him at this moment. But, everything will probably never matter to Mas Septa if the peg of Mbak Ayu comes to this house to meet with him. Her favorite husband.

"Luna, let's eat!" Nara invited me to eat and sat down at the table before the adzan magrib came to fill my hearing.

Nara takes the rice she loves to put it on a medium-sized white plate. I picked up the plate with a little fear because it was unusual to be in a mansion like Nara's. Just this time I found out Nara's big house, on the inside. I've been here before but I didn't go inside.

At that time I happened to be invited by Nara to take the book that was left at her house.

I continued to eat by taking fish one by one. Oh my god, there are so many fish. Mas Septa must still be in his room. Lord, please don't make me remember Mas Septa again.

"Nara, there's your friend in the back." Mas Septa came to remind me.

"Who's Brother..?"

"It looks like the man who came here" explained Mas Septa. That must be Aldo. What yes, Nara invited Aldo to a lecture.

"Bentar Ya Sis. Tell him to wait for me, I'm still eating."

"Your habit of telling - tell the older people!"

"Sir Septa, plis help me! I still eat!" Nara is a little cute and spoiled. I feel bad like a kid.

"okay." Mas Septa went straight outside leaving me and Nara at the dinner table.

"Why do you keep seeing Brother Septa, like you are the same as him..?"

I immediately ate hearing that question. I was instantly mangap - mangap in front of Nara Naura.

"You're a bitch, my God! It's drink!" Nara immediately took me drinking water because most of the food that entered my stomach directly and briefly.

I drank the drink quickly and all the food in the stomach was swallowed and went into the stomach. It hurt when I drank in my stomach.

"I'm sorry, I don't know if you're eating well." Nara apologized to me. God, I'm sorry.

"I'm sorry, for my question. You see, just now when I saw, you saw Brother Septa continue! So, I'm just suspicious of you." Nara continued to me.

I'm so bothered to say what to Nara Naura. "Eh, actually I was I used to squirm Mas Septa, because people are cute and considerate. Aren't you..?"

"Then anyway? Do you feel that way..?"

"Yes." Yeah." I'll just answer it straight away. Cook the heck Nara did not feel that Mas Septa was a good man who was very considerate of women, especially me and Nara.

Did Nara think it was a normal thing? Wasn't Nara Naura born before Mas Septa was born? Wasn't Mas Septa an older brother who was always there for him at home?

Didn't Nara feel that Mas Septa was a man to call when that man was in need of him? Doesn't Nara feel that Septa is a handsome man who goes back and forth in front of her every day?

"Luna, what are you thinking? Just daze! Eat your food, not on the sidelines! keep eating cats!" Nara was always like that in front of me. She is indeed a woman or friend of mine who loves me advice or warning. Because I used to daydream or think strangely.
