Stars & Moons: Destiny Takes You

Trapped

Bandung, August 17, 2018

Today is the day of the independence ceremony. And also the day that the Moon will serve as a flag raiser. And that also caused the girl to be so nervous that she couldn't sleep last night. The star must accompany the girl to sleep. And therefore also the Star had to wake up so early to feel the cold of the water when the bath and the dew so cold to pick up the girl.

Finishing from the ceremony, the two of them decided to take a photo together to capture the moment. Only then did the Star deliver the Moon home. Along the way the Moon rests its head on the back of the Star.

"Sir, the Moon is tired.."

"Yes. Later when I get home, just take a break."

"Kan Bulan has worked hard for today's ceremony, every day has also been training continuously. Sis Bintang do not want to give Moon a gift?"

'Start out spoiled.' Inner Star.

"What month would you like a gift?"

"Emmh. Moon kayaking want to eat ice cream aja kak."

"May I be. But don't do much, your stomach will hurt."

"Hehehe. The moon only wants ten."

"..."

"What if you get sick?"

"If you get sick, it means you don't go to school tomorrow."

"Don't dong. After that later I have to miss because I did not meet."

"That's a month on purpose."

"What's that?"

"Yes deliberately let Star Jenguin. Hehe..."

"School can be found if you come in. What if you don't go to school later don't miss your sister?"

"Yes miss it. Lies that the Moon does not miss. So Moon wants to be in jenguin with sister so I can meet. Continues if at home mah no adek class kegatelan disturbing."

"Aahaha..." The star could only laugh dryly hearing the response from the girl.

The stars remember when they went to the cafeteria together, many tenth graders tried to seduce him. Ever since the Star meets the Moon, the Star has become accustomed to smiling. The star began to try to be friendly to the other students. That's what inexplicably makes him now always get a message to get in out of the unknown girl.

Because the Star and Moon have recently been spotted close by. No one knows their closeness. Moreover, Stars with the Moon also do not have official status in their relationship.

The star realized that ever since he met the Moon his whole life felt different.

It used to be that this world was monotonous. There was no color other than black and white in his eyes. There was no clear sky, only clouds in the depths of his eyes.

Although you could say they just know each other, but there is a sense that is so deeply embedded in the heart.

"Moon..."

"Yes, brother."

"When I met you, my life changed. Everything I see, everything I hear, everything I feel. Everything around me suddenly became colorful. The world seems to sparkle beautifully."

"Sister Star..." The Moon was surprised by the words of the stars.

"I want my life to be colored like this. To that end, accompany me to continue to move forward in this life the Moon."

"Yes. The moon my brother. The moon will be next to my sister. Until whenever it is. For that never stay in the Moon."

"Remember this Moon, I promise as a man I will never leave you. As long as I am on this earth, I will never leave you alone. I will always be there for you. This is the most precious promise I've ever made."

Tears flowed down both cheeks of the Moon. He buried himself on the man's back.

"I will always remember that promise, brother." Moon Speech. "I am the happiest woman on earth. No, but I'm the happiest woman in the universe."

After indulging in the Moon's desire to eat ice cream, the Star drove the Moon home.

"Sister, stop by yuk first." Pinta the girl when they have arrived in front of her house.

"Other times.."

"What's the difference next time it's the same now?"

"Well, do you want to find an excuse, right?"

"E-eh."

"Then let's stop by first."

"Yes tomorrow-tomorrow my brother stopped by. Brother's not ready." The star starts to look wrong because it feels nervous.

"Hemm." The moon put a sly smile on her face.

*****

"Hey, don't frown, brother." The moon whispers to the stars. The girl was now sitting next to the Star with a cheerful face.

And since the girl was now a Star was in an awkward position.

Now the Star is sitting on the sofa living room aunt Moon house. The star is in the house that the girl now lives in. What left her in an awkward situation was that the entire family of the girl was now gathering in the living room staring at her.

From the living room, a middle-aged woman walked out carrying a few glasses of drink. She is the aunt of Lina, who took care of the Moon while in Bandung.

"Let's drink this drink." Said Aunt Lina putting a glass of drink in front of the stars.

"Ah yes aunt thank you.." Answer the stars try as gently as possible.

"So, if you can find out what his name is? I have not been acquainted. So I want to know his name." Tanya Reno is the husband of Lina's aunt.

'Wine. I forgot to introduce myself. People say first impressions are the ones that are always remembered. And I've looked bad first detected. I need to relax. Think of it as talking to a friend.'

The star takes a deep breath and exhales slowly.

"Ah yes. I haven't introduced myself, my name is Star om."

"What a coincidence... There's a Star there's a Moon too." The smiling Aunt Line looked towards the Stars and Moon.

A little boy about 5 years old ran towards the Star and asked.

"What's her boyfriend, Brother Moon?" He asked with a face he wanted to know.

'Heh...om? Is that how old I am?'

"Nathan, don't call me. Call him brother." Aunt Lina reprimands.

"Why is that mah? Brother Evelin said that brother Moon brought the guy home must be his girlfriend. Nathan was told to call me."

"..."

"Gilin.." Moon looked at a girl who seemed to still be sitting on the Junior High with an annoyed face.

"Ahaha...Nathan told me my other brother." The girl answered looking for an excuse.

"So what's this brother's boyfriend Brother Moon?" Nathan asked the stars again.

Not yet had the Star responded to Nathan's words, the Moon had already spoken first.

"Yes.kak Star is her boyfriend sister Moon." The girl replied with a pleased face and there was a hint of arrogance from the look in her eyes when she saw Evelin. As if implying that he is very proud to have a Star as his girlfriend.

Om Reno and Aunt Lina just smiled hearing that. Evelin looked upset for some reason.

'Heh...' But the star that heard it was shocked to the point of choking on its own breath.

The star was surprised because he and the Moon did not have any status. But now she claims to be a boyfriend.

"So it's like that.It turns out her boyfriend's star Moon huh?" Asked if Reno looked towards the stars trying to make sure.

The stars want to answer. But the Moon sitting next to him had pinched his arm as if not allowing him to answer the truth.

The star can only follow the wishes of the girl.

"yes om. I'm Moon's boyfriend."

Suddenly there was a certain glint in the eyes of Reno and Aunt Lina. The stars get a bad feeling from it. And it's true...
