Missing the Moon

Missing the Moon
Chapter 67



While in Jakarta.


The moon was so nervous to meet with both parents Radit just kept squeezing both his hands.


Even Radit's shirt sleeves were the target of his hand squeezes until the shirt that was so neat has now turned into tangles and dirt due to sweat attached to the shirt.


"Look, baby, they won't eat you" Radit said, capturing both hands of the Moon to appease his future wife.


"But I'm afraid Mas, I'm afraid they'll reject me" the Moon replied.


"Mamah why Pah?how is it like fear?is Grandpa and Grandma mean?"ask the Star who sees how scared the Moon is right now.


"Grandpa and Grandma both Nak and Mamah are just nervous not afraid" said Radit who is now calming the mother and child.


Moon's fear grew when Radit brought her into the house and began to hear the voices of people who seemed to be talking.


What makes the Moon and Radit surprised is that it seems that there are not only Papah and Mamah Radit but apparently there are other residents.


"Assalmualaikum" said Radit and Moon simultaneously and made the chatter of people who were gathering in the family room stopped and turned to the direction of the voice while answering the greeting.


"Wa'alaikumsalam" answered the four parents who seemed to be gathering together and discussing something.


"Have you arrived, baby?hey is this Grandma's pretty granddaughter?"tanya Mamah Sinta approached Radit who carried the Star in his sling and stroked the darling of the mane of the Star that was tied to the ponytail.


"Yes Grandma knows this Grandma's grandson, his name is Star" replied Radit representing the child who still seems hesitant to greet Grandma from the father who is now greeting him.


While the Moon who had lowered his head heard the voice of the Mamah immediately raised his head and looked at the Mama who was struggling to take the attention of the little Star in Radit's arms.


"Ma_Mamah"the Moon said when he saw the Mamah standing in front of him but still focused on the Star.


Before returning home Radit first contacted both his parents and also the parents of the Moon and deliberately invited both parents of the Moon to gather at his parents' house to welcome the arrival of the Moon and also the Stars.


Until now, this is where everything seems to gather to discuss the continuity of the relationship between the son and his daughter in the future.


"Dear month, here come Mamah misses you" said Mamah Ayu spread her arms so that her youngest daughter could enter her arms.


The moon immediately ran into the arms of the Mamah and tightly hugged the middle-aged woman's body.


"Force the Month of Mah, Forgive the Moon"he said.


"Yes dear, Mama has forgiven you Son" said Mamah Ayu on the Moon who had begun to cry bitterly in her arms.


Both mother and child also cried together to vent the longing that for five years was buried in each other's hearts.


Radit rubbed the corner of his wet eyes when he saw the returning Moon being able to hug Mamah after five years apart.


The atmosphere also became haru with the meeting of the mother and child.Not to mention the cries of her day that completes the family meeting this time.


While the little star just stared confusedly at the people around him who seemed to be crying happily because they could regroup even without the presence of Mentari there at this time.
