Missing the Moon

The Barrier of the Future

Radit stood by the patient's bed where Mentari now lies weakly helpless with his wrist bandaged and also attached an infusion hose.

Radit looked flat at the woman who was still closing her eyes with a slightly pale face.There was no more anxiety and sympathy for Mentari who always did the same when they were hit by problems.

Beware of everything that has happened between him and his wife makes Radit become friendly with alcoholic beverages.

Eager to end the unhealthy relationship since one year of their marriage but without family and others know that Tari always does the same

And that's what makes Radit still survive because Radit doesn't want to be the reason someone ended his life.

Flash Back's...

Radit blinked his eyes as the sound of his cell phone kept ringing and disturbed his deep sleep with the Moon beside him.

"Hello, what's the matter Bi?"asked Radit lazily when he saw the name Fabian on his cellphone screen with a hoarse voice typical of people waking up.

"The hospital is now Kak.Mbak Tari is in the hospital" Fabian replied from there.

"He did that again?"tanya Radit relaxed when he heard that Tari was in the hospital

There was no more anxiety in Radit when his wife returned to the hospital due to the suicide attempts he always did to pressure Radit not to leave his side.

"hhmmm" replied Bian flatly as if that was also common for him.

"Alright Brother will be there.Let's stay there first until Brother comes"

Radit hangs up his phone call with Bian after hearing Bian's answer, which again is just Deheman.

But instead of immediately moving from his sleep Radit even more tightened his embrace on the body of the Moon and back pull the blanket that had slumped to cover his body and the body of the Moon is still the same plain.

When he was about to close his eyes again Radit was surprised by a movement coming from the Moon's distended stomach.

"Wake up Deck, your belly from earlier motion continues" Radit said waking the woman who was still sleeping comfortably on Radit's arm which he used as a pillow for his head.

"Why Brother?Brother wants to go, huh?"ask the moon that has not fully realized

"No Brother does not want to go yet, just that your stomach continues motion what baby star is fine?"tanya Radit who is still lay with pregnancy even though she has been married for three years but Tari never willing to conceive her child.

And that's what Radit feels now, when there's another woman who's tripping her child, her flesh blood.

"Sure" answered the Moon briefly

"I'm fine papah, I'm just glad Papa is here with me and Mamah" continued Moon mimicking the voice of a child.

Radit was shocked when he heard the Moon's reply which mimicked the style of a young child answering his Papa question and it moved Radit.

Because this is always anticipated during the age of marriage with Mentari but Mentari always refused to get pregnant for various reasons that made Radit finally gave up to get offspring from Mentaru.

Radit stared fixedly at the face of the Moon's pillow and instantly hid his face behind a blanket that still covered his second innocent body.

Slowly Radit pulled a blanket that blotted the Moon.Radit smiled while caressing the dark mane of the Moon which is still random chanting but it does not make the beauty of the Moon fade.

"May you ask me something?"radit said as the two lay facing each other.

"What's?What would you ask?"moon replied nervously to get quite an intense gaze from the man that made his heart tremble.

"Why do you keep this kid?though you could have thrown it away while he was still in the form of a blood clot.Did you not feel that this child will hinder your future?the career you dream of may be hampered by him"

Moon smiles at Radit's question.But what Radit said is true but the Moon is not a monster that must eliminate new life in his body for the sake of his dreams and ideals.
