Moonlight On The Sea's

Longs

"Ma…"

Summer who had been waiting at the edge of the ship, called with relief when her mother emerged from the water carried by a Bima.

As Sara promised, Tapa accompanied Summer for the last time to meet her mother before she returned to the sea.

They hugged to treat longing, the back days were so short that they could not meet.

Summer hugged her mother as if to pour out all the mixed feelings.

"Are you okay?"

Brushing her daughter's hair, without looking at her face hidden in her arms, Rita knew her daughter was falling.

"No. I'm not okay."

Rita pulls Summer's face from her embrace. The face had been flushed, tangled. Tears that keep flowing, so the eyes can not open.

"Ohhh mama's son." Rita hugged her daughter tightly. Everything was too heavy for him to take care of himself. This time too.

"Mama saw Mara?"

Rita took a heavy breath, they finally released a hug to be able to talk to each other face to face.

"It's so fucked up. Sara comes along with another Merman who happens to see them passing by. Uma and Appa and the whole population were excited. Everyone was crying, including Sara who was angry. Buni called it a pretty severe wound, he could only stop the bleeding but not his lungs that had been damaged. Without a second thought they took Mara to the Pacific Ocean, for there was famous for a great witch who could heal all sicknesses."

Summer bit her lips, the impact of her revenge was this heavy. There is a sense of regret for having included Mara in her life.

"Uma and Appa must have hated me. Maybe even the entire population of the Kulum people."

"Summers…"

"Ma.. when I almost died…"

The words surprised Rita. Given that his daughter experienced the word 'nearly dead' was a major failure in her life during motherhood, even now things are still the same.

"… Mara came to my rescue. But when he does, I can't help Ma. I can't do anything."

"Mama knows your feelings. Even now, my mom can't help me. Forgive Mama."

"I understand the position of Mama. Praman is the jerk."

"Mama sure, Mara must have thought so too, Summer. Don't blame yourself. It's the praman who made us all this."

Summer realizes it, Mara may think that all this is not because of her. But still, if the word ‘if only’ could happen, maybe things could be better.

"Surely he'll think so, because he's stupid."

"You are stupid too. To mummify a mother who can't do anything for you."

"Gak ma. for me, Mama survival is happiness."

"Try your value, from the way you look at Mama, understand Mama. Mara must be too. She loves you so much, you're seeing mama."

"Yes ma."

"Now, what do you expect?"

"I really hope Mara can come back like she used to."

"You have to live your life with that hope. You have to keep believing that Mara is strong."

Rita is not sure, she just hopes Summer can return to live her life well.

The next day Summer went to work unaccompanied by Bodyguard. No need to, the culprit is already in prison. After 3 whole weeks of not working, Mr. Bagas is the most heavily burdened person in the Company.

“I'm the CEO of it like.” His grunts at the table, busy with some documents.

“I'm still CEO Pak Bagas.” Summer as a greeting in the morning.

“Finally..” Shoulders lengser, escape a sigh of relief.

“Pak Bagas, bring all necessary documents to work in my room.” Summer's orders are ready to fight.

Slyly Pak Bagas piled all on Summer's table. Seeing from his tired face, it seems like Mr. Bagas is sleep deprived because he takes care of everything himself.

“How are your plans with the Praman followers?”

“What?”

“You want to continue working with them? Because the police went back and forth here.”

“Sure the police will show up. Obviously Praman did not accept falling alone. He must have wanted to bring his treasonous followers.”

“Then? Should how?”

“Let the Police do their job.”

“Good.”

“Have candidates replaced them?”

“Candidates are always there.”

“Good. Do it slowly.”

“Vice Director how?”

“Sure he should be arrested too.”

“Good.”

That same day, Harith was arrested at his residence. He was silent not fighting. Jenni was hit hard, breaking her Papa out of the police's hands, hugging her Papa in tears.

“Impard Papa. Because Papa is like this, you are going through a difficult time in your life. If only Papa could judge people. Forgive Papa.” Harith saluted the separation of the princess only. The one who cried out was held by Yura, his wife.

As he was about to enter the car, Harith stopped and reached into his pants pocket.

“Can I call for a minute?”

The officers looked up, feeling it was fine they gave Harith time.

Harith looks for Summer's contact and puts the phone in her ear.

“Chairman. Please keep your promise.” He said it briefly and then turned off the phone.

Harith's arrest has shocked the company. Now the position of President Director and Deputy Director is officially vacant. The surge back occurred, the number of positions below glanced at the chair. Competition becomes intense, and everything is inversely proportional. People who used to disrespect Summer, are now professional sycophants.

The competition made them attack each other. Without Summer trying to get out, those greedy people had already fallen by their rivals. There are a lot of empty seats.

The turmoil left Summer Sea on the verge of crisis due to lack of HR. Ads that open vacancies to the public are invaded by everyone inside both abroad.

Summer purposely, she wants her company's people content to be talented people. Not only people who are not very good at work, but talented for personal gain, generally they can serve katena nepotism. The Summer Sea was completely overhauled.

The process is very strenuous, like starting a company from scratch. Slow but sure. Everyone recognizes Summer's ability to run the Company. Although strict and perfectionist, the results are always satisfactory.

To choose the right person to sit in an empty chair, Summer spent 2 months.

Work like crazy, good at the office good at home. But in the evening, Summer will stare at her picture with Mara and pray for the safety of the man she longs for.

It's been 3 months, but there's no news. Summer meets her mother once a month, but gets the same answer. Mara, Uma and Appa are not back yet. There was only Sara who replaced her father in the lead, assisted by Tapa at his side.

Summer will stick with her hope, that one day she will meet Mara who has been healthy. But this miss hurts so much. Sleeping in Mara's room, wearing Mara's clothes, bathing in her bathroom, wearing her soap and shampoo. The smell of Mara made her feel together. Closing her eyes imagined, her skin and body temperature, the sound of Mara's breathing and heartbeat that were always pounding as they were together.

Summer hugging the miss curled up sniffing Mara's blanket. This miss is painful.

Seriate…
