Chapter 10: The Money
"The primary need of man is not food candang board, but money." - Luna-Luna
"What's the place?" Luna looked suspiciously at the building with black and red paint in front of her. "Gue ain't coming in, ah!" Luna turned her body and was about to step away.
After returning home from school, Luna told Jessika that she had some business. Actually, he's meeting Alex. And Alex took him to this place. Suspicious building not too far from the school, about 10 minutes by motor.
"Don't bring it, come on!" Alex was about to grab Luna's hand, but Luna took a step back.
"You don't have to go to me, you!" Alex snorted in annoyance. "If I want, from yesterday I don't have to do elo!"
Luna was doubtful.
"Missy! Said he needed money!" Alex is getting impatient. "Still need a no? If you don't need it..."
"Still, still.." Luna finally nodded and followed Alex into the building. Which turns out it's a music studio, a lot of school children their age hang out there for a band.
Alex passed the registration table and went straight into a soundproof room complete with musical instruments.
"Well not register yet?" Luna was astonished as they passed by some people who were lining up without sin, and immediately entered with envious gazes that followed them.
"Well? It's mine." Alex replied.
"Well?!" Luna nodded in disbelief. "Elo as rich as that?"
"Are you just a rich guy?" Alex is playing Luna. "If I'm not rich, Angel may not be chasing me..."
Bener too, anyway.
"Gue's looking for this money" Alex picked up a guitar and sat down in an indoor chair.
"Well can you sing?" Luna still can't believe it.
"Gue has a band, but I'm not the vocalist."
"What's the name of the band?" ask Luna.
"Elo won't know, we play in the underground" replied Alex. Luna was confused.
"It's not that much, anyway I have a band and I often perform. I also have a studio and I can help you with money. But. elo has to sing. Because that's the only way I know."
"Gue can't sing." Luna shook her head.
"Everyone can, as long as the technique is real" Alex said. "Try it now elo sing, I want to be horrified."
"What song?" ask Luna.
"Well, I want to hear some kind of elo sound."
Luna took a breath then opened her mouth, "Either what possessed you~~
BRACKET!
Alex hit the chair until Luna jumped in shock. "Serious one, dong! You think I'm kidding?!"
Oh, he's creepy...
"So what song did you say?" Luna protested while looking down, she was afraid but she also did not want to be blamed.
"Sit here, I'll tell you." Alex asks Luna to sit next to him, then starts explaining. "Elo, sing with feelings..." Luna nodded.
"Now try to open elo phone, choose one song that you like most now." Luna nodded again. "Get out the earphones."
Luna pulled out her phone and put on her earphones. He also opened a music app.
"Now, assume I don't exist. Relaxed... Close your eyes, listen to the song. Keep her tone up and start singing. Wear feelings." Alex guided Luna slowly.
Luna took another breath, she turned on her music and closed her eyes.
"Ni nunape watjana
Naega yeogi
Neoui ipsullo mareul haejwo
Say yes, say yes
Nado moreuge
Neoege gago innabwa
Buneun barame
Nae mam jeonhallae love is true..."
("Say Yes" by Loco & Punch)
Luna continued the song until it was over and Alex listened to it without a sound.
Luna opened her eyes. He saw Alex smiling.
"Elo sound good, even though I don't know how to sing," said Alex. "But elo's voice is so soft, I'm not sure you can sing a high note."
"Gue can't!" Luna started to get anxious. "I told you I can't sing."
"But you want money, right?"
"You!"
"Yes already!" Alex put down the guitar. "Elo should be able to sing."
Alex picks up Luna's phone and types a few words into the search engine. "This song suits elo, try singing.... There's no high note...."
"Kiss me out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, swing the spinning step
You'll wear these shoes and I will wear that dress..
Ohhh....... Ohok ohok!"
Luna coughed as she sang Sixpence None the Richer's Kiss Me.
"Why elo? Just sang that way already so bad..." Alex is teasing Luna, again.
"Hope, I'm thirsty..." Luna rubbed her neck.
"Yes, wait. I'm taking it!" Alex got up from the chair and stepped to the door.
"All the food, Lex! I'm laper too!" luna cengengesan.
"Basic! The liver's asking for intestines!" Alex shouted as he closed the door.
***
Luna arrived in front of Jessika's house after being escorted by Alex on his motorcycle. It's 8 p.m. Luna knocked on the door and Jessika opened it.
"Where is elo?!" start to be Jessika's mother.
Luna who was already tired, did not answer and immediately entered. He climbed the stairs to Jessika's room.
Arriving at the room, Luna went straight into the bathroom, did her business and changed her clothes.
"Who's this?" Jessika asked a glance at a guitar that was on the side of the bed.
"Have me" replied Luna.
"What's elo doing with ginian?" ask Jessika curiously.
"Make money." Luna took out the guitar from her place and started practicing.
"Elo nagamen?" Jessika was getting curious.
"Whisper elo!" Luna throws Jessika with a pillow. He took his guitar and cell phone and went out and sat on the balcony in front of Jessika's room.
This is because of that Alex, you tyranny!!!
Luna still remembered the words Alex had said earlier...
"Well can you play guitar?" Alex stared at the guitar Luna was holding.
Luna nodded. Of course he can. They don't know how big Luna is trying to get a boyfriend.
"What song is it?" ask Alex.
"National song. I used to play for ngiringin padus." replied Luna.
"Yes, tomorrow you already have to memorize the song the same chord all of you?"
"Well you crazy?" Luna glared in disbelief.
"Elo want----
"Yes, I want money!" Luna scowled in annoyance and continued her training.
Luna breathed. If you are upset like this, then you remember Brother El. What is El doing now?
⁇ ️ Luna...
My girlfriend is the coolest. He knows that I am looking.
⁇ ️ What else? Already sleeping?
Not yet, sis. Think again brother...
Luna started to smile to herself.
Once the message is read, there is a ringtone of the incoming call. From El's sister.
Luna immediately picked up her phone with great joy.
***
El was forced to stop the conversation with Luna because Reza continued to nudge her arm, asking for attention.
"What?!" El asks unhappy because Reza interrupts his break. He could only rest from this morning. It's been 9 p.m., but he still has to be in the office and take care of things.
"Patience, Sir. I want to go home too." Reza even complained. "But this is the new data provided by HRD, you have to check before the meeting of the work program plan tomorrow."
"Mr, sir. I was sleepy, no," said Reza. "Some Father why make me a secretary anyway? I'm a marketing major."
El snorted annoyed. "You want me to fire?"
"Ih, you're so fierce. I told Luna, here." Reza pretended to threaten El.
El immediately nodded in disbelief. "Wait 5 minutes."
Yeeeeesss!!! Reza cheered inwardly.
