The Moon is Split

Romance Journey to Bandung City

It's been three cool days living with her sister and twin brother. But he still felt awkward with them. Cool lives alone at home when Kira goes to school and Arzie has to go to his office.

"Hi, Cool ... How are you?"

"Oos... Brother Alex. Good news, Brother"

"Have you met your sister?"

"I'm staying at his house for the holidays. The plan is tomorrow or the day after I'm going to Bandung, meet a friend"

"To Bandung?"

"Yes"

"Well, what a coincidence. I also had a job in Bandung. If you want us to go together. I'm supposed to bring my own car"

"What's the trouble later, brother?"

"Of course not"

"Alright, I'll ask my brother's permission first then"

"OKAY. I'm waiting to hear about it"

Cool hang up. His face was very bright. She was happy that she was finally able to go alone with Alexi, the man she loved.

After tomorrow morning Keren asked his brother's permission to go to Bandung. He wants to see Imel at his house. He wanted to know all the things he had experienced.

"To Bandung?"

"Yes, Brother. I have an appointment with Imel. My friend who is now in Bandung"

"Yes, already. Later after driving Kira to school, let the driver will take you to Bandung"

"No need, brother. I can do it myself. Anyway, I went with my friends from Jakarta. We'll meet at ten"

"But, Deck ... "

"Sister Arzie don't have to worry. I can do it myself. So take it easy, brother"

"Right yes, if there's anything you should quickly contact Mr. Arzie yes, Dek ..."

Arzie takes Kira to school as usual. Then go to his office. Exactly ten Keren met with Alxei in the city park. They both went to Bandung.

Today traffic is good. They travel from Jakarta to Bandung within two and a half hours. Arriving in Bandung they went straight to a fast food restaurant for lunch.

"Where do you live?"

"I don't understand the name of the area. The driver will pick me up at school"

"So we want to go to your friend's school?"

"Yes, today he came home in the afternoon. There's an extra lesson. But he had his driver pick me up at his school"

"Yes, I've been taking you there. Which High School?"

"SMA Negeri 3 Bandung, Brother"

"Alright, finish your meal first. Then we leave"

Alexi drove Keren to the SMA Negeri 3 Bandung. After saying goodbye he returned to his branch office in Bandung. Not waiting long, Imel out of school to meet Keren.

"Cool.... I miss you ..."

"I don't" answered Cool briefly.

"We're not funny at all. All the way from Japan just want to make me sprain"

Cool just grinning. These two friends hugged each other. Then soon Imel's driver came to pick up Keren.

"You just wait at home, I've conditioned the house assistants, so don't hesitate. Papa and Mama were in Tasikmalaya, looking at my ailing grandmother. So consider it your own home. Wait till I get home from school"

Cool waiting in Imel's room. The rooms are beautiful and full of typical female ornaments, just like Kira's room, all neat and smelling female. It is different from the rooms in Japan. Similar to a boy's room.

"Truly the girls' room was once here"

And he doesn't really care about that. Cool to lay his body on the bed. He soon fell asleep too.
