Moonlight On The Sea's

First Salary

“Kak Mara's. Can photos be shared?” Ask a group of customers.

They were seen wearing high school uniforms. Like the reason most who come to Seafood Wawan, is to see Mara's face.

Only then did Mara deliver the order they had to take pictures again. Mara is grateful to have a face that can help her brother's economy.

“Good. But later bring a lot of friends here ya.” Mara is friendly.

Good human good mermaid, nothing strong with a Mara smile.

“My life is happy.” Said one of the girls after seeing Mara smile while grasping a spoon and closing her eyes while sumringah.

Quickly they immediately post Mara's face, so the people who saw the post were curious and then came to the restaurant. Those crowded days are already common for Mara.

Now he must be in front as the one serving the buyer. Wawan upset if he delivers the order, buyers like to wander around looking for Mara.

Because it is better Wawan in the kitchen washing dishes.

Every day the restaurant is crowded, so it feels very tired. Mara still has to close the restaurant and clean up.

“This gift for you.” Said Bu Rani suddenly coming while Mara was washing dishes. Ms. Rani presented a 10x10 photo, quite large.

Mara wiped her hand and received the photo. Instantly the corner of his mouth rose. Ms. Rani knows what makes Mara so excited.

“She's so beautiful here. Thank you Ms. Rani.” Mara stroked the photo with her lips not stopping smiling.

“Please finish first ya work.” Tempta Bu Rani's.

“Ah Yes.” Mara then looked for a dry place for her to put the precious photo away. Then continued his work so that later he could see the photo as much as possible.

Mara used to borrow Bu Rani's phone just to look at Summer's photos. It was like recharging energy. He will smile and return to work cheerfully.

Because of that, Bu Rani decided to print one of the photos to give to Mara. And sure enough, it made Mara happy. Very simple.

“This is your salary. Buy anything with this.” Said Ms. Rani while giving a white envelope.

“You've worked so hard this month. Thank You.” Praise Wawan.

“Your salary is over. Because your face brings many customers.” Said Bu Rani while pointing at Mara's face.

“Please, you don't follow too.” Wawan said to his wife with a jealous face.

“Thank you.” Mara sumringah's. This is what it's like to work and get paid, so exciting.

“Oh yes. Tonight I have to go back to the sea.” Mara.

His schedule should return once in two weeks because his lungs have not been strong long on the mainland.

After he stayed on the mainland, tonight was the second time he returned to his habitat. For then he will return once a month until later he can get used to it without returning to the sea, like Wawan and Agus.

Arriving at his habitat as usual he will be welcomed by the people of the Kulum tribe. Moreover, his mother who has provided the most delicious fish in the ocean for Mara.

“Uma. Thank you.” Mara said with a smile when presented with fish placed in a jug.

Mara then reached into the pitcher and took out her hand with the fish that had been stuck in it.

Mara used her time to hang out and chat with her family all night.

He must have missed his family.

“Soatuku?” Ketus Sara's.

“Hey I've received the first reward. Humans call it money.” Mara Showers.

“Wahhh??? You got any money??” Sara was enthusiastic. Rather than Mara, Sara knows more about humans.

“Iya. I got a lot. Wawan gave more because I brought many customers to his restaurant.” Mara.

“Wahhh. I really can't wait to get to the mainland.” Sara said, looking up.

“I brought something for you.” Mara gave me a plastic. Inside there is a Paper bag that is tightly sealed inside the plastic so as not to get wet.

“What is it?” Ask Sara curiously.

“Try to open up there.” Sahut Mara pointed to the water so that the contents are not wet.

Sara nimbly swam straight over the water to see what it contained.

On a rock he lifted his body and sat down. Slowly open the plastic.

“Wahhhhh her bag from paper.” Sara was getting curious.

The contents of the paperbag. Looks white fabric and flannel in light blue. He was sent to see more clearly.

Sarah shed tears. It was a school uniform. White shirt with blue flannel collar. And blue flannel flower mini skirt.

“Basic..” he said sweeping his tears that turned into pearls and fell to the rock. Sara continued to smile broadly while hugging the high school uniform.

“You've met that woman?” Appa asked Mara.

“But.” Legally.

“Why? You're less trying?” Ask Appa.

“I have to collect money first.” Mara Sahut.

“Ah money? You'll just cry.” Sahut Appa lightly.

Mara immediately turned her head with a face of lack of understanding.

“Your eyes will be pearls on the mainland.” Affa continued by pulling her forehead so that her eyes looked bigger and her mouth tapered.

“Appa!” Shouted Mara to the surprise of Appa.

“Why just say now?!” Chirping Mara.

“But keep your voice down. Behind us there are still sick people.” Appa looked behind them.

They were chatting in front of Buni's house. Right in front of the window that allowed them to clearly see the figure of a mermaid who had been lying in the same place for a month.

Mara remembered when she stole Buna's potion, it was the first time she had seen the lying mermaid.

“She has not yet realized ya.” Mara looked at that face from a distance. White straight hair like someone he knew.

“The wound is quite severe.” Appa with a concerned face.

“Come follow Appa.” Appa then swam, followed by Mara.

They swam far enough and stopped at a bay.

They swim straight inward and then stop at the bottom.

Mara immediately widened, apparently Appa has its own storage area.

And the stuff isn't kidding. Like finding a treasure. Mara's eyes reflected the glittering gold she saw in that place.

“Waahhh Appa. What the fuck!” Mara was still dumbfounded, her mouth wide open.

Mara approached the valuables slowly. Lots of jewelry, gold bars and gold coins. Antiques and beautiful shapes.

“You should be able to sell this on the mainland if you want to have money.” Said Appa looking for something with a price that would be expensive.

Then Appa took a gold bar. The size is quite large and many in number.

“You take how many?” Ask Appa.

“I'll take 5.” Mara.

“Good.” Appa took the 5 gold bars and put them in a cloth.

The next day, Mara's still dark dawn arrived at the restaurant. That's when he decided to meet Summer.

“Why do you want to have a holiday?” Wawan asked while glazing the table.

“I'll meet Summer.” Mara with confidence.

“You know where?” Ask Wawan.

“Of course. I can read.” Proudly follow.

“The place is so far away Mara. Can you take the bus by yourself?” Said Bu Rani worried.

“What's the reason?”

“Maybe you have to transit many times.”

“What to ride the bus?” Ask Mara.

“Can only take a taxi. But it must be very expensive.”

“I have money.”

“Iya knows you're new payday. But in a day you will immediately spend your salary.” Said Bu Rani.

Then Mara walked into the kitchen and brought a tied cloth. Then throw the cloth on the table.

The sound of the collision made Wawan shocked and approached Mara, as well as Bu Rani.

Summer untied that then,

“what is enough to pay a taxi?” His word.

Bu Rani and Wawan immediately turned their backs. They both saw the contents for a few seconds until they forgot to breathe.

His mouth was still agape and his eyes were unfettered from that glittering gold.

They then looked at Mara, Mara was singing her lips confidently.

“I just found out that merman tears can be pearls on land, but no one told me. But I don't seem to have to cry to have money.” Mara Syndic

“Hehe, sorry I pranked you. This is his new son Appa.” Wawan later said.

“I've never seen a gold bar this big. Said Mrs Rani still astonished.

“Oh yes?? Bu Rani can take one.” Mara said lightly. They also grow bigger.

“Bener?” Ask Bu Rani not to believe it.

Mara nodded. Ms. Rani immediately shouted and closed her mouth.

Wawan noticed his gold-crazy wife.

“I can also find gold so in the ocean.” Wawan said in his heart.

Ms. Rani then regained consciousness. He patted her on the cheek then fixed the position of the establishment that was almost like someone wanted to kayang.

Then he watched Mara from top to bottom. The t-shirt and pants hanging, Ms. Rani shook her head.

“You can't meet Summer with such an appearance.” Said Bu Rani shaking her head.

“I should how? Am I not handsome?” Ask Mara plain.

His innocence made Wawan so upset that his eyes were like a line.

“Sure we have to shop. Let’s go!” Said Bu Rani. Go get the bag.

“Come. Shop off today!” Said Bu Rani in spirit to pull Wawan out.

Seriate…
