Not as Beautiful as the Moon Night

Finding the Lost Happiness

Time that we don't need to remember is time that has destroyed us. Don't keep remembering. Just make memories, so that your life has a purpose and a future. Not the past, which is now passing through carefully. Not to fall into a painful life again.

 

“Geffie, did Mama dream?” Ask Eyang, happy, day and still in disbelief.

“Eyang did not dream, Sir really started to improve.” Javan Julia.

Eyang immediately stood up to Geffie, hugged her, there was a day and was happy that afternoon. After all this time, there was finally hope to see her son willing to eat together. Since Geffie was little, Eyang had been living dead by her husband, who was originally Dutch, did not marry again because he did not want to share his affection, which only wanted to be devoted to Geffie. Being a widow for more than 20 years, it's hard to be happy to go through it alone. Villa business, engaged. And many have homes that are contracted for foreign tourists. It looks simple, but its assets are everywhere. Not arrogant, every day always share for people who are in trouble.

“Mama don't cry, said Jul, the crybaby is ugly.” Geffie smiled. Still with a childlike attitude.

Eyang, a greeting that is already very familiar, not just small children, adults, all the surrounding community who know Ibu Komang, a native born in Bali, it. Ibu Komang converted to Islam since marrying his father Geffie, although Dutch, but Mr. Jack embraced Islam.

“Julia, thank you, “ He said. She was unceasingly grateful to Julia.

“Eyang, tomorrow morning permission go to the beach. I'd like to take Geffie on the road. Who knows if there will be a change sooner.”

“As for you, let tomorrow help the driver to take care of him.” Said Eyang, his eyes glazed over.

“Thanks Eyang.”

“Geffie would like to eat the same thing Nak?” Ask Eyang attentively.

“Sama chicken only Ma.” Geffie answered still in a voice like a child.

Eyang, happily accompanying Geffie, ate his favorite, long-lost happiness, now felt back by Eyang.

Unknowingly, Julia shed tears. For a mother, such a thing is very desirable every day. But, Julia could no longer eat together with Varo. How many years, or not at all.

Julia approached Naila, who was sitting on the back porch. Sit on the floor with the other servants.

“Nai, have you transferred, right?”

“Already, here's proof of transfer.” Naila replied, handing over the proof of transfer to Julia.

“Still yes. I'd like to call Kevin first.” Julia.

“Yakin want to talk to your husband?” Naila asked, with a face full of question marks.

“Iya, I have to ask Varo.” Julia answered to Naila.

“It is better to call at night only, so as not to be disturbed. Now you just call your mom. Tell your mother, don't go anywhere, after the magrib prayer, my father will take the money.”

“You're right, call Varonya later tonight only.”

Julia called Fatma's mother, no need to wait long, Fatma's mother had already received her call.

“Assalamualaikum, Ma'am,”

“Waalaikum greetings. How are you Nak?” Sounds happy.

“Healthy mom, Same dad how?”

“Alhamdulillah healthy,”

“Bu, Julia send money, later Mr. Naila there.”

“Son, I don't need your money, you just save for your future,” replied Ms. Fatma.

“Bu, don't worry, Julia is there to save. Now that Julia wants, Daddy and mom don't work anymore. Julia is happy to give money to mom. So, Julia please, do not refuse.”

Silent, no answer, Julia knew her mother was crying. A mother is able to cover her grief in order to want to see her child happy.

“Mother don't worry Julia is happy to work here.  So Mom and Dad don't think too much about Julia.” Julia convinced her mother

“Don't forget Varo sent money also yes Nak,” message Mother Fatma

“Already Mom. Later tonight Julia phone Varo.” Javan Julia.

“It's been a month, Kevin is hearty, don't call mom at all. I want a phone don't know the number.”

“May Varo be fine. Mom, julia working again yes.”

“Iya, Son.”

“Assalamualaikum,”

“Waalaikum greetings.”

After she finished calling, Julia went back to work. Meet Geffie, who is now sitting with Eyang, in the living room. Julia could not imagine what if Geffie recovered, how happy Eyang would be.

Julia, no higher education, but she can understand how to cure a lunatic like Geffie. And his quick thinking. The best Junior High School graduates at that time, just did not have the cost to continue school to High School.

Never complain, never regret for not having a scholar like other friends. His life is short.

Marrying Kevin changed a bit, but not with clothes and makeup. Julia, it's still the village girl, who's not fancy and eats expensive powder. His face was natural, not clad in whitening beige or better known as glowing skin. But, there is a beautiful side that never goes away. Natural but beautiful. His posture is ideal, tall and attractive.

“Jul, I want to drink,” Shouted Geffie look at Julia.

“Good sir, Jul get ya.” Julia answered, go to the dinner table. And bring back one glass of water.

“This Sir,”

“Still Jul.” Plain speech

“Sama-sama.” Reply Julia, kindly.

Because it's night. Julia took Geffie to her room. Tell him to rest, accompany him to sleep well.

After sleeping, Julia enveloped and left Geffie. Julia went back to her room.

“I'll call Mas Kevin. I wish I could talk to Varo” Guman Julian.

There's anxiety, upset, anger. Didn't want to talk to Kevin, but he was thinking about Varo. There are children to fight for. It has been almost three months since the separation took place. Not a single bit of Kevin is finding out the truth. He only thinks about the truth of his family, but finds out his family's mistakes.

It remains wrong, and will never be right, though it will explain what the story really is. Money can buy truth and replace it with lies.

No one can resist when God wants to give us a test, nor can we explain. Because all of our explanations are considered defensible to be considered correct.

One mistake can cover up all the truth. So, be quiet, let the law of God repay you.

Julia unblocks Kevin's number, then calls him.

Tut tut tut tut tut. Up to three times just connected.

“Hallo,”?????

Julia did not speak, she silently listened to the voice from there. I couldn't believe what I heard.
