Missing the Moon

Get Out of the House

Plaaaakk.....

A slap landed right on the smooth white cheek of the Moon even to leave a red mark of the palm of the Moon's white cheek given by Papah Bisma.

"Pregnant?you pregnant?who's?who's that jerk who made you pregnant with Moon?tell me who he is?who's that moon guy?"papah Bisma asked amid the rumbling of her anger that culminated when she found out her daughter was pregnant without a husband.

"Ma_sorry Pah.Bu_Month can not.Moon does not want to see him again Pah, let Moon raise this child himself Pah" replied the Moon on the sidelines sobs her cry.

"But the Moon being a single old person is not easy Nak" persuaded Mamah Ayu that the Moon would tell him who the father of the fetus is now in his womb

But the Moon insisted on keeping her mouth shut.

"Ok, we'll see how you will survive your current condition.Exit from this house now" said Papah Bisma who has not been able to stand the stubbornness of his youngest child.

Degs....

Everyone widened their eyes when they heard the decision of the Bhishma Papah about the Moon

"Father" cried Mamah Ayu and also Dance who was so surprised by the decision of Papah Bisma.

"Let Mah see how he's going to go through all this without the baby's father but sorry Papah can't accommodate him in this house.He's chosen with his silence as to who the baby's father is and that means he is ready to live without us" Papah Bisma who was so disappointed with the Moon who still chose the silence of the father of his future son.

All of them were silent because they knew how hard Papah Bisma and all his decisions could no longer be contested by anyone including the wife.

While Radit can only clench his hands until his knuckle book turns white when he sees the Moon being driven from home by his in-laws.

But Radit was also afraid that the Moon would be desperate like Tari.Radit was so afraid that the Moon would completely eliminate the child in his womb if Radit would admit all of it.

The moon rose from her seat and walked towards the room that had been her most comfortable place but at the same time became a place where her comfortable life began to fall apart.

Moon grabbed a medium-sized suitcase on the edge of her wardrobe.Moon opened some clothes that were quite loose and tidied them in the suitcase

The moon stared at the nanar of the room he was about to leave.The moon came out of his room with a suitcase containing clothes and other items of his own.

Mamah Ayu and Mentari ran to embrace the tiny body of the Moon when the Moon arrived at the bottom floor with a suitcase containing her clothes.

"Excuse Mamah who did not succeed in persuading Papah Nak" said Mamah Ayu interrupted sobs to release his youngest daughter out of the house.

"Sister also apologizes Dek can not belain you in front of Papah.You know yourself how hard Papah" continued Tari who was also crying bitterly because he would part with his beloved sister.

"The moon will be fine Mah, Kak.Bulan will only come out of the house not disappear from you" replied the Moon sad

"Come Brother between Dek" the baritone's voice interjected between the sobs of the three women who were still hugging each other.

"Where are you going to take the Moon?I'm coming" asked Tari to unravel her embrace on the Moon.

"While it is better for Moon to live in an apartment first.In the future we think of a way out together for now let it be like this first.Give space also for Papah because this is too surprising for him"clearly Radit who had just been silent witnessed the debate of his wife's family.

"Alright but I'm coming"Dance's ink with her spoiled voice and it makes Radit feel uncomfortable especially in front of the Moon.

"You better be here Ta, just accompany Mamah.Mamah needs Ta friends"Radit felt quite relieved when Mamah Ayu asked Tari not to come

So that Radit does not need to find a reason let alone lie to prevent Tari from coming along with him.
