"The past is there to be remembered not hated." - El-
Mother was busy checking her new washing machine. He bought it a few days ago and it's finished installing now. Everything seems to work well.

There was a knock at the door. He walked slowly there. Open the door and say hello. But he was very surprised when he saw a man in front of him. The person he meets in a dream only he does not want to.
"Hi, Goddess. How you doing?" greet a man.
"Would you come here?! I don't know you." The door was quickly closed, but unfortunately was prevented by someone who looked like the man's assistant.
"I just want to talk to you. Can I come in for a second?" tanyanya politely.
"No!" Mother answered ketus. "Never hope!"
"Then I'll talk here. I hope you don't regret it." The man's words made Mother Goddess let go of the doorknob, let them enter and sit on the living room sofa.
Smiling for a moment, the two uninvited guests made themselves comfortable there.
"What do you want? We don't know each other. There's not even a word 'we'." The goddess folded her hands on her chest, showing clearly that she did not like it.
"I'm sorry, Dedew..."
"Don't call me by that name, Niel. It's 18 years too late." The goddess glared at Daniel, giving a look of disdain.
Daniel smiled happily. "Even you still call me 'Niel'. Tell me why I can't call you by the loving call I gave you."
"Because you're trash! Or even worse than that! Maybe poop..." The goddess sneered and turned her face the other way. "I don't want your mouth to say my name. Full of lies."
"I'm sorry. I'm a bad b*don't. But back then, you knew how I was." Daniel's voice changed slowly, as if his throat was choked.
"Yes, I know. So now go. There's nothing to talk about anymore." The goddess was about to stand up but Daniel pulled her until they sat next to him.
"I've been trying to find you all this time. I was so happy to meet you at the party that night. You still look pretty, exactly what I have in mind." Daniel looked at the Goddess in love.
"Just save your seduction. The cat on the street even knows you're lying. It's impossible not to find me all this time. I'm not even hiding."
Daniel smiled bitterly. "You're right. I wasn't really looking for you. I'm a coward."
"It's good that you're aware. Now, go!" The goddess brushed off Daniel's hand which was still on his wrist.
"Don't! I ventured to come here because I saw the boy. May I meet? Her name is Luna, right?"
Daniel's question made the Goddess very angry. "YOU...!"
"He must be my son. You don't have to lie. His face is similar to my mother's." Daniel breathed a moment. "I'm grateful that you didn't eliminate him. He is the proof of our love."
The goddess was at a loss for words.
"Can you and him come back to me? We can start over again." Daniel was really shameless when he said this. But he doesn't care. He had already dispelled his embarrassment before deciding to come to this house.
"Where's your wife???" The goddess screamed in disbelief. "Is he dead so you came to me?!"
"You're right, he's dead" Daniel said.
The goddess did not see the sadness in the man's eyes. He sighed tired. Daniel should show sadness even if only a little or pretend even once. He's getting sick of it.
"But my husband is still alive! And I don't intend to leave him!" He pushed Daniel so that his body retreated backwards.
"But you don't love him. I can see it." Daniel took the hand of the Goddess in his grasp.
"Ha-ha! I don't love you anymore!" Goddess melengos. He was tired of this endless conversation. "I hate you to death."
"I will make you fall in love with me again..."
"You're crazy!" The goddess dragged Daniel out of the house. "Go! Don't ever come again!"

Luna and Alex were waiting as they performed. Luna was so tense, it felt like she wanted to jump around and scream like crazy.
Luna let go of Alex's hand and pushed back Alex's face with one of hers. "Yyyyyyyy...!" Luna shouted stifledly.
"Whisper!" Alex glares bitterly. "The baby is all the money that can talk."
Luna took a deep breath, closing her eyes.
The money... The money... Money that can talk...
"Paper money or coin money?" ask Luna.
"That's important?!" Alex couldn't help but pinch Luna's head. A girl who is a combination of anxiety and infuriating.
"Make me important!" Luna screamed in frustration.
"Make me not. Elo deh, bodo very..." Alex gives up on Luna. He ignored the strange boy who was now chanting the money summoning spell.
After half an hour of waiting, they were finally able to go on stage. They used the same costume. Black jeans and leather jacket.
"Pull your breath, do it like the exercise." Alex gave a tip just before he started. Luna nodded steadily.
Sitting in the available space, Luna looked at the striking corner with a few people crowding, who else if not her husband surrounded by the guards.
The atmosphere was silent, the lights started to highlight only Luna and Alex. The show has begun.
"Your shadow blinds my eyes..." Luna recited her part of the poem.
"Your smile warms my soul..." Alex returned.
They look at each other. The audience is swept away, except El. He wanted to flatten this cafe immediately.
"I thought the prince was just in a fairy tale." said Luna, smiling at Alex. El already wanted to turn the table before him at this moment.
"It turns out I found my daughter here..." Alex plays his guitar and starts singing.
"I finally found you 🎵
as this heart begins to doubt 🎵"
"I finally found you 🎵
currently raga wants to dock 🎵"
"I wish you were🎵
answer wolf worries my heart🎵"
"And let myself🎵
love you to the end of my age🎵"
Duet Luna and Alex sing a song popularized by Naff that managed to make a low boisterous cheer of the audience. At the end of the song, Alex grabs Luna's hand and kisses her softly, leaving most of them cheering. Luna smiled widely because of her successful appearance. They got off the stage together.
Luna approached El soon after, running slowly to where El was sitting. Don't ask about El's current face, it's already flushed with anger.
Realizing El's bad mood, Luna decides to go home first after telling Alex. He doesn't want El to explode here.
In the car, El was silent a thousand languages. Luna had already persuaded him, seduced him, even kissed him on the cheek, yet none of them had succeeded.
"Sister, there's no need to be jealous." Luna started talking. "Every day I was with my sister, eating together, watching TV together, sleeping together. Is that not enough?" ask Luna. He tried to shake El's heart.
"After all, it was just acting... On the stage... If you're jealous it means I can be an artist, dong!" Luna joking.
"Not funny, Luna." El answered ketus.
"I'm sorry my husband..."
El looked at it for a moment. "What do you have to say?" tanyakanya.
"I'm sorry my dear husband..." Luna rubbed El's cheek. "This dragon may not be by your side, but you, always in my heart... "
