Chapter 35: Money for Love
"Is it wrong that I want to be loved?" - Luna-Luna
"He said that?" El asked in disbelief.
"Yes, he said he needed money." Alex shrugged his shoulders. That's how he knows it. "Gue just help him" Alex replied, again casually.
El thought for a moment, he really should ask Luna this, but not now.
"Then, please keep helping her." El wants Luna to get what she wants. If she wants to sing, El will make Luna get on stage. Whatever it is for the girl.
"No need to tell me, I must also help Luna." Alex looked at El directly now, making the one being stared at feel a sense of awkwardness.
"Don't tell me..." El did not want to continue his sentence.
Alex smiled cynically. He knew what El wanted to say, and it was exactly the same as what he wanted to say. "Why? Scared huh?" ask Alex. "Fear because I'm better than elo? Luna fits me better, right?"
El pulls Alex's shirt rough, making the distance between them disappear in an instant. Alex looked at him with eyes full of anger. "Luna belongs to me. Yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever."
There was a small twitch in Alex's mouth. "Look down, um." Alex's words somehow sounded annoying in El's ears.
"If you dare to touch it just a little, you won't survive." El's threat makes Alex flounder.
"If I had wanted it from yesterday!" Alex meredek El telak. "We've only been here this whole time, just so you know..." Without fear, Alex challenges El. He put both his hands on El's hands and then he gripped them tightly. The mood changed gripping. There was no sound, only the roar of anger-filled breath.
"What are you doing?!" Luna who had just opened the door was shocked to see El and Alex who were very close while holding hands in front of the chest. Ah, his eyes are polluted.
"Deliver!" Luna pulls Alex's hand. Alex was sharp. "Elo take my man, huh?!"
Alex flicked his hand, clucking in annoyance. Luna is crazy. "Elo mostly watch sensor movies huh? Elo's brain is tilted like it is," Alex said.
"Diem Lo!" Luna pulled El behind her back. "He's got me, you look for another one!"
Alex rolled his eyeballs off guard, he decided to just sit down and continue watching the video again.
Feeling safe, Luna invites El to sit in a chair away from Alex. He gave El a bottle of water. "Now, drink brother," he said. "Aren't you doing anything just now?" ask Luna.
El smiled wryly. His wife's imagination is amazing. Maybe not to be a singer, but a writer. "It's okay, baby..." El replied while deliberately stroking Luna's head, trying to make the corner over there jealous. Alex seemed to care less.
"Oh, hang on." Luna approached Alex and gave another bottle to her friend. "Now" he said.
"Thanks." -." Alex welcomes.
"Where? Haven't you? Still long? I'm gonna go back?" Luna gave a line of questions, making Alex look at her in annoyance.
"Well, what's robbing? Aim at once?" Drinks from Luna.
"Sorry" replied Luna. "Udah malem you know, I'm a laper. Going back."
"Yes already. I'll be here again tomorrow morning." Alex answered as Luna wished.
"Where do I need my money?" Luna asked her main purpose of coming to this place.
"Ck!" Alex reached into his pants pocket. "Now!" She gave him a red note on the hand of Luna who held up.
"Cock just one?" ask Luna sadly. He hopes to get a lot of papers. One hundred if necessary.
"That's what!" answer Alex. "less?" tanyakanya.
"Yes, I want a lot!" Luna grunts.
"Can.." said Alex. "But live, you can?" tanyakanya.
Luna was surprised for a moment. Live's? Are many people watching that what it means?
Of course money. Anything for the money. Haha.
"Byeah" replied Luna.
"Okay, tomorrow night. I'll chat." Alex looks behind Luna, there's El. "Udah there go. Tuh, man elo," pointed it out.
Luna looked over and it was true that there was El there. "Yuk, sis..." He stepped out first.
El was silent for a moment before catching up with Luna. Her mouth didn't say anything but Luna had already pulled it.
"Sister! Don't get close to her..." With El's hand drawn by Luna to the exit. As a result, El can only give the code to Alex. He points at his eyes with his middle and index fingers and then points at Alex afterwards, telling him he will always be watching him.

"Luna, I want to ask you something." El raises the blanket up to Luna's neck. Since the birthday gift incident, Luna began to get used to sleeping next to El.
"What brother?" ask Luna.
"What money have you been lacking?" ask El.
Luna became misbehaved, she escaped her eyes in all directions. "Cu-cu-enough, really..." He played both fingers when he answered.
"Do you want an additional brother?" ask El. El transfers some money every month to Luna's account. As he remembered, he had already given his debit card to Luna.
"Don't! That's enough, brother!" Luna's screeches made El even more suspicious.
"Then why did Alex say you needed money? What's for?" El hasn't been so bad about Luna. But apparently, Luna ran out of answers to dodge.
"Do you want to be honest?" El tried to persuade.
"I didn't answer my question first" said Luna.
"okay." El caving.
"Why is the name of Sky Brother?" ask Luna.
"Because of the time of giving birth, my mother saw a bright night sky." replied El. That's what her mom said.
"Then, Brother En and Brother An? What's their full name? Is that just a nickname like having a sister?" ask Luna again.
"En for Dusk. Brother En was born at sunset. An for the Clouds. Sis An was born in clear weather with white clouds like floating cotton." El answered every question of Luna patiently. Even though he knew Luna was just diverting the conversation.
"Why is my sister called El? Not Lang, for the Sky?" ask Luna again.
"You can ask your mom." El stroked his wife's cheek, making Luna close her eyes.
"So, what's the answer? Don't tell me you're sleepy now..." El charges an answer to Luna.
"Sister dear same mommy, right?" The sight of El lekat, makes El sure that Luna really wants to know.
"of course. Why are you asking the obvious?" El pinched Luna's cheek.
"I also love Mother," said Luna.
El is trying to draw a common thread between Luna's answer and the thing she asked. "What do you mean, baby?" ask El.
"I give you the card to Mommy" replied Luna. He took a breath for a moment. "Because I love Mother" he continued.
"What did you say to Luna? Explain." El asked for a more detailed answer. He put his ears on well this time.
