The Moon Among the Stars

105

Ayumi had fallen asleep back on the hospital bed after a few minutes of talking to Moon and asking for sponge cake as a night snack because her stomach was hungry.

The moon always accompanied Ayumi and helped her best friend just to eat, drink and deliver to the bathroom.

Time has shown at two in the morning, The moon is still lying on the sofa waiting room in the hospital room with a sideways lying position still complete with a blanket wrapped his body from the legs to the neck to feel warm.

The moon woke up and circulated her gaze throughout the room, Ayumi was still fast asleep with no movement since sleeping last night. While Afnan is no longer in place, the waiting sofa occupied by Afnan last night is empty and uninhabited. The moon stared at the bathroom door that was still wide open, the sign that Afnan was not in the bathroom and went out of the nursery somewhere and without saying goodbye.

The moon closed her eyes again, waiting for the right time to pray in the third of the night and thinking according to the message of Ustad Ikhsan, her husband last night when calling.

He had just closed his eyes which were still heavy. Sayup-sayup was heard the sound of the hospital room door was opened from the outside.

Chalcis ...

The sound of the door handle was opened and the sound of the decanter of the inpatient room door was heard very clearly. Both eyes of the Moon was difficult to open his eyes, but his hearing was sharp enough to listen to what was done by the person who had just entered the hospital room.

Slow footsteps and friction of the sound of pantofel shoes with ceramic floors sound very typical cause a loud sound.

A plastic wrap is placed slowly on the sofa table waiting for it. The noise from the plastic was clearly heard with several piles of items inside the plastic when it came into contact with the table making a strange sound.

Afnan looked at the Moon with pity, it had been an hour he went to the cafeteria to find food, since the night Afnan had not had time to eat and now his stomach was hungry and sore.

His days are now very busy completing his master's degree, Afnan pursue not late to graduate because of personal affairs. His ambition to immediately be able to work and generate coffers of money independently motivated him to continue to struggle quickly to complete all his tasks well while in Egypt.

The side job as a lecturer assistant was originally only to test himself whether he was able to share knowledge with others through teaching, and also wanted to know his ability in understanding all the knowledge that had been obtained. Being a lecturer assistant, not only the money earned, but also relations with lecturers, and access to relationships with lecturers are getting better and easier.

As currently, for example, Afnan is still completing some of his new unresolved courses but has been able to follow the guidance of the supervising lecturer to work on the thesis as a general condition for graduation as a master.

Afnan sat back on the sofa of the waiting room and opened one of the plastic bags, removing the hot capuccino coffee purchased from the Hospital Canteen. Hot capuccino coffee placed in a sealed paper cup is the hallmark of a packaged hot capuccino coffee drink. The paper cup lid was opened, causing the aroma of coffee to spread throughout the room hospital room.

The moon opened its eyes, the fragrant aroma of capuccino coffee was really already tempting his sense of smell to immediately taste the coffee drink capuccino.

Both eyes still felt heavy, his head was also slightly dizzy due to lack of rest since yesterday. Both of his eyeballs had already opened wide, both of his hands were thrown forward to relieve the aching feeling in his body.

Afnan looked at the Moon who was also staring at him

"Wake up the Moon? Want a capuccino coffee? Just buy three, all for Ayumi," Afnan said slowly to the Moon as he pointed towards the plastic package.

"You Kak Afnan, thank you, yes" replied the Moon in a soft voice and opened the plastic bag to meet the other paper cups and put it on the table. One glass was left intact and not opened the lid, waiting for Ayumi to wake up from her sleep and another glass was opened the lid and without shame immediately in the coffee tasting capuccino.

"Hemm..this is the best capuccino coffee the Moon has ever tasted. The coffee is very soft and light, but the aroma is very sharp and hard," said Moon explained what was felt when drinking the coffee capuccino.

"That's a snack too, I hope you like it. Brother Afnan does not know your taste, if Ayumi's taste, Kak Afnan must know, so Kak Afnan is the same, because you are the same age and friends must be the same favorite," said Afnan slowly with a smile.

The moon nodded slowly and opened the contents of the second plastic bag. The moon took out the contents of the plastic bag one by one, there were several packs of light snacks, sweet bread and kebabs typical of the country.

The kebab was still hot, it seemed to have just matured and was immediately bought by Afnan. The moon unwrapped the kebab paper and began to eat slowly and thoroughly enjoyed.

Afnan who had been observing his fiancee's friend laughed in his heart. It's funny the behavior of girls who are still unstable including his fiance Ayumi.

"Nake?" afnan asked when he saw the Moon so greedily devouring the kebab with a big enough bite and looked very enjoying like it had not eaten for a long time, like a starving person.

The moon nodded slowly.

"But, there are five also out the same Moon all, this is a favorite Moon," say the Moon slowly with a mouth that is still full of kebab chew with sauces and mayonnaise attached around the corner of the Moon's lips.

"If you eat right, married eating is still a mess" said Afnan softly while laughing.

"Ih, kak Afnan, his name is also again enjoying food," said Moon in an upset voice then took a lap decision and wiped the corner of his lips with a dry cloth held.

Afnan laughed out loud and put down his phone and took a cup of capuccino coffee and a hot kebab towards Ayumi's bed.

The food and drink was on the nightstand and then rubbed Ayumi's head slowly and gently.

For some reason, it felt very comfortable to see the calm face of Ayumi who was sleeping fast like this. His mind is so satisfied, can get the girl that Afnan has dreamed of and is currently one step away from halal, Afnan wants to try hard to make Ayumi happy in every way.
