The Moon Among the Stars

Afnan invited Ayumi to dinner around Lesehan Malioboro. Quite a crowded place with a diverse food menu.

"We're lesehan, you don't mind, do you?" asked Afnan when parking his big motorbike.

"Ayumi likes this place, sister." said Ayumi with both eyes sparkling happily.

Ayumi is a girl who rarely plays let alone goes out of her own house. Ayumi always goes with her Mom or Dad.

"Did Ayumi really like this place? Not just want to miss my sister, right?" tanya Afnan teases Ayumi.

Ayumi just pursed her lips a sign of feigning annoyance.

"Sister Afnan had always loved Ayumi's temptation." said Ayumi briefly as she chuckled and then hit Afnan's arm softly that did not feel any pain at all.

Afnan just smiled and walked ahead of Ayumi who was still tidying up her clothes.

"Wait for dong Kak. Just play." shouted Ayumi as she half ran after Afnan.

Ayumi's footsteps were too small compared to Afnan's wide steps, until Ayumi managed to walk on Afnan's side.

"Eat him don't talk much. If in class do not mostly talk." said Afnan softly half whispered.

Ayumi stared intently at Afnan and replied.

"Enak. Ayumi was just talking to Rara. Rara is good, sister." said Ayumi slowly.

"We don't know. People can change after getting to know." said Afnan softly and seemed calm talking about Rara's sister from Zura. The woman who wanted Afnan.

"Yes right, brother. Ayumi is rarely close to anyone. Mother always said not to trust people too much, because the edges must be painful" said Ayumi softly when remembering the words of her late mother.

"Gst .. Don't you remember that. Later you will be sad Ayumi." said Afnan slowly and then took Ayumi's hand to the place for dinner.

Ayumi looked at her hand that Afnan had touched and held. Ayumi just followed where she would be taken by Afnan without asking much.

"Ayumi wants chicken to bake bacem? Like right?" afnan asked softly, his gaze still continuing to stare towards the road.

"Like Brother." Ayumi replied briefly as she turned towards Afnan.

"Come in. We're sitting down at the end of there. Brother order the food first." said Afnan slowly and showed the direction of the seat they will occupy to Ayumi.

Afnan walked towards the booking desk while Ayumi walked to the seat that Afnan had chosen.

After ordering the food Afnan walked towards the table where Ayumi sat and waited for him.

"Sorry a bit long. Queue." said Afnan briefly while staring at Ayumi who focused on her phone.

Ayumi heard Afnan's words just didn't look back at Afnan. Answer it too with just a slow nod of the head.

Afnan is just a sign of understanding. The girl was focusing on playing mobile phone seems to be replying to chat from her friends seem to occasionally smile at themselves reading chat from her phone.

Not long after, food orders both came to their tables.

"The phone save first later continued when it is finished eating. Now eat first Ayumi." said Afnan slowly and thrust two dishes to Ayumi, one plate filled with rice and one plate again give chicken bacem complete with default.

" Yes Kak." Ayumi answered briefly and put her phone back in the small bag that Ayumi was carrying.

"Smart girl. Nurut the same brother ya." said Afnan slowly and began to eat his food.

Ayumi just looked at Afnan and smiled sweetly and pulled the plate and started eating it.

"It's really good, brother. The taste of the bacem is very pronounced plus the paste sauce is steady pedesnya." said Ayumi commented while eating until slightly choked.

"Eat first just talk. Do not get used to talking in a mouth full of food." Afnan said to Ayumi and gave a bottle of mineral water to Ayumi.

"You thirsty?" asked Afnan who was amazed by the way Ayumi drank.

"Ayumi does love mineral water" Ayumi said casually.

"Oh that. Continue eating. After this we continue our walk. Wanna?" afnan asked with a smile showing his row of neat teeth.

"It's with pleasure Brother." Ayumi smiled and chuckled.

The two of them told each other and spent the dinner in delicacy. Tonight is their night.

"Where else are we going, Sis." asked Ayumi who had been sitting on the motorbike and wrapped her hands into Afnan's stomach without hesitation.

"Follow the Brother. Grip." said Afnan minutes and immediately drove his big motor quickly.

The motor stops around the city square of Yogyakarta. A great place to just relax.

"It's Kak's place." asked Ayumi softly as she got off Afnan's big motorbike.

"This is Ayumi square. We sit in the middle there yuk." said Afnan slowly and then took the girl to the middle of the square.

Ayumi walked slowly following Afnan. Until the middle of them both sat on the dry grass with a crowd around him.

The night wind that was getting colder made Ayumi feel cold and held her slightly cramped stomach.

"Why are you Ayumi?" afnan asked a little frantically looking at Ayumi like she was in pain holding her stomach.

"Surr Brother, my stomach." said Ayumi softly who was still holding her stomach with both hands.

Afnan took off his leather jacket and put it on Ayumi so as not to get cold.

"We'll just go home. Rather than like this." Afnan said softly to Ayumi.

"Ayumi asked for eucalyptus oil to gradually improve, sister" said Ayumi slowly.

Afnan stood up and walked to a nearby stall to buy eucalyptus oil.

"This is the eucalyptus oil. Wear quickly. Brother doesn't want to see you in pain like this." said Afnan slowly.

Ayumi received the eucalyptus oil and rubbed it into her stomach area evenly.

"Thank you, brother. It's been a little bit quiet. The horror is gone. Ayumi could not be exposed to the cold or excessive night wind. It must be Ayumi's stomach is cramped like this." said Ayumi softly to Afnan who still looks panicked.

"Sorry Ayumi, Brother doesn't know about this. Maybe next time Brother will take better care of you" said Afnan softly.

"Yes Brother. That's what Kak." asked Ayumi pointing at a cart on the sidewalk.

"That's wedang ronde. You want? It can warm the body. Try Yes. Brother buy it." said Afnan slowly offered to Ayumi.

"Yes Brother. Ayumi wants to try." said Ayumi slowly.

Afnan called the seller wedang round and ordered in the bowl wedang round.

"This is Ayumi's batain wedang ronde" Afnan said as he handed a bowl of wedang ronde to Ayumi.

Ayumi received the bowls of wedang that round and began to sip the ginger water with a spoon.

"Where? Yummy, right?" ask Afnan slowly.

"Enak Brother. In the stomach immediately feels warm." said Ayumi briefly.
