Moon & Stars (Revised)

Section 17. Surprise for the Moon

The morning looked bright, there was no sign of rain. The Moon, too, has no sign of sadness. The face of the Moon again looks cheerful as usual.

The moon entered his classroom in a hurry. He was already impatient with the surprise that the Star had promised him last night. Arriving inside the Moon immediately glanced towards the seat of the Star. But the place is still empty, the bag does not exist. That means he hasn't come yet. The defense began to collapse. He didn't want the stars to lie to him. Even he had thought that last night, just engineering the Stars to calm him down. But the thought was thrown away far away. He should be positive thinking. Who knows, the stars are still on their way.

Without Moon noticing, it turned out that there was someone beside him. Maybe he will never realize if the guy is not beating. The moon turned to her side. There he saw the Star, looking handsome than usual, with both hands perched in the back. I don't know what's under that guy. Is that a gift for the Moon like what he promised last night. Even her girl friend's friend melted all in, seeing the star's new appearance. She looks great with her new hairstyle. In fact, the Moon was amazed.

Without stale ado, the Star directly somewhat crouched in front of the girl——the right leg was bent touching the floor, while the left leg remained upright standing straight——.

"Lan, honestly when we first met, somehow my heart was pounding erratically." his words immediately made his friend a class between supporting and being literate as well.

"Would you not be my girlfriend?" he continued while giving flowers to the Moon held in the Behind earlier.

"Receive, accept" A voice of support from a friend of his friend arrived to fill the room.

The moon just smiled in embarrassment. "So surprise that star, shoot me." Inwardly.

"Where?" ask the Star that made the Moon sober from its daydream.

The Moon unintentionally looked at Tata, as if she wanted to ask her opinion. He was angry with the girl. Tata nodded her head slowly to move. The moon smiled at him.

"Yes I want to be a girlfriend you know" replied Moon who increasingly make a scene his friend.

"Cie, new couple"

"Hem hem, the stars aren't single anymore"

"Where is the practice?"

So many words came out of the mouth of his friend who certainly made the Moon blush in shame.

Who would have thought, September 23, 2020 will be a birthday as well as a happy day of the Moon with the Stars. Today, the moon moved back to its original seat. Suddenly the Moon remembered the novel yesterday taken from his bag Surya. "Is this what we call 'When the Moon and the Stars are united'?".

"It turns out to be more beautiful than I thought before."

The moon is so happy now, different from Tata. Gadia was actually a little bit happy because she finally found a suitable partner for her. But on the other hand, he was still very guilty on the Moon. Because of him, his best friend had to be caught in a very deep problem and out of it it was certainly not very easy. That is what always looms over Tata's mind. He felt that he was not a good friend for the Moon. Although Surya had calmed her down several times, the girl did not smile as well.

"Anything how and whatever the risk, I have to apologize to the Moon?" his determination.

"Lan, what do you want?" ask the stars of the Moon when they want to go and order food. Yeah, they're in the cafeteria right now. A minute ago, the bell rang.

"Fried rice is just like sweet iced tea" replied Moon then sat at one of the tables, while Bintang went to order food. While waiting for the arrival of the Star, the Moon reached into the phone in his pocket and played it.

Suddenly someone came to him. "Lang,".

"Lho's still mad at me?" ask the girl with sadness.

"No. I'm not angry anymore" he replied again without looking at the source of the voice.

"If you're not angry, it means sorry I dong" said the girl immediately guessed.

The moon immediately stopped his cellphone playing activities and turned his eyes toward the girl who asked him to talk.

"Tata, I'm not angry anymore, that doesn't mean I'm sorry. Sorry that was easy. It's not as painful as me, Ta." he said firmly that can make Tata cry.

"Gue can be clear, Lan" said Tata hoped Moon would listen to his explanation.

"Gue doesn't need an explanation.  Mending you know the same Sky Brother far away me deh." replied the Moon who immediately rose from his seat.

Although in his heart he could not bear to call such a system, but I don't know what made it like that. He felt hypnotized, so he was able to issue a rant.

At the same time, Bintang came with fried rice and sweet iced tea. But the Moon, his mood to eat suddenly disappeared just like that.

"Ke class aja yuk" take the Moon while pulling the Star's hand to go from the cafeteria.

"But the order has come" replied the Star.

"I'm not in the mood of a star anymore. You know what?" the Moon arrived rough. I don't know why he has so much trouble controlling his emotions today. He should be having fun right now. It's his happy day.

"Yes, I understand you" replied the star, not wanting to make things worse. They returned to class and left Tata alone in the cafeteria crying.

Surya also came to destroy it. "Udah calm aja Ta, the moon certainly back also kok to you know. I'm sure it is."

"How can I calm down if the Moon does not want to forgive me" said Tata without stopping his crying.

Surya also took a tissue on the canteen table and wiped Tata's tears on her cheeks. He was sorry about the girl. He knew that the source of the problem was the girl. But it was not because of his intent and beyond his expectations. Tata also directly stared at Surya sticky, as well as Surya. A comfort and warmth re-emerged in Tata's heart. At least he can be a little calm with the presence of Surya.

"Thank you" said Tata arrived. Surya immediately realized from his daydream and took off his hand and tissue from the face of Tata.

"Let's just that I still have one way anyway, so you can get better with the Moon" said Surya, returning to the topic of their conversation earlier.

"How's it?" tanya Tata curious.

"here?" said Surya who makes Tata wince wonder.

"Lion, you know," he continued, which was immediately understood what Solar System meant. He seemed to want to whisper something.

Tata also according to him, he brought his ears closer to the mouth of Surya. Surya said something to him. After that, Tata was a mangosteen sign understand.
