The Sky for Luna

9. Simalakama Fruit?

"Want me to drop off?"

El's question managed to make Luna's heart plunge freely to the bottom of her stomach. Wasn't he forgiven? Why is El acting like he doesn't want to just let go? Is El about to ask for damages? Luna is very poor at the moment. Just look at his thin wallet if you don't believe it. Luna was shocked, confused, scared at the same time. He wants to run away from this place as soon as possible.

How's nih? What to answer? If rejected later he offended continue to be angry how? If accepted it turns out just pleasantries continue to ngerepotin do not know how?

Luna was very confused. It's a very difficult question, even harder than the Try Out exam he's been working on. The question that made his brain short-circuit and his head emit invisible smoke. He thought then weighed, then thought again and weighed again, so continued but still did not find a good answer to this one question. Is this what is called eating simalakama fruit? He felt unable to answer.

El still noticed Luna's cute expression. A moment he frowned, a moment later he loosened his forehead and muttered indistinctly. Luna's hands looked agitated. His gaze was also running to the right and to the left. It seems to be the habit of this girl when she is confused.

"It's dark, it's dangerous to go home alone. Yuk, I'm taking you. I want to go home too..." El tried to give the most reasonable reason so that he could drive Luna. But Luna was still hesitant and had yet to respond to El's remarks. He was busy thinking and thinking.

El who was getting impatient pulled Luna to stand up immediately. He doesn't want rejection. Anyway, I have to drive. Still want to be together, not to say goodbye. He took his briefcase quickly while still holding Luna's hand, not wanting the girl to run away or just disappear from his sight. El clasped Luna's hand tightly, walking ahead of stepping out of the room. They went through the deserted office tables and started walking towards the elevator. El deliberately shrinks his steps, not wanting to make Luna walk hastily let alone run. Don't fall down.

Inside the elevator, El stood facing the sparkling door without a word. He deliberately did not say anything so that Luna could not reply to his words or reject him. El glanced at Luna through the reflection of the elevator wall in front of her, watching Luna carefully. But what he noticed seemed completely unaware of El's gaze.

Luna stood away from El, making their hands widen. He deliberately docked in the corner of the elevator, busy banging his head there. Making a small, almost inaudible knocking sound. El who could see the reflection of Luna's shadow pretended to be ignorant and held a deep laugh. The girl was frustrated.

The atmosphere of the office is empty because the working hours have ended since 5. Luna, who was ready to cover her face with one hand, was able to breathe a sigh of relief and decided to take her usual step. El leads Luna to her well-parked car. A black sedan rang and the light flashed as El pressed the button in his hand. Luna was fascinated for a moment to see El's luxury car. Not a canned car, actually a top-class vehicle.

"Come in..." El opened the door next to the wheel. Luna often saw scenes like this, looking very romantic in the drama she watched. But now when he experiences it in the real world, it even feels scary. Luna could not resist, she resigned and immediately sat inside. Be as good as possible, sit politely and noisily.

"Use the seat belt first." El pointed at the side of the chair and Luna immediately put it on quickly. Although he was poor, he had been in a car. He knows how to wear a seatbelt. From the movie he saw, of course. Thanks to all the drama that made him so unkempt.

After a click of Luna's seat belt, El starts the engine and pulls her car out of the parking lot. The momentary silent atmosphere. "Where is your house?" ask El.

"In the Diamond complex block A2 No. 5," replied Luna. Very quick and precise, like being interrogated. This made El smile again. The girl was still tense apparently.

El opens the google map app and searches for the location in question.

Is there a housing called Diamond? El wondered in his heart. He had never heard of such a place.

The app began to give answers. El listened carefully, and it did exist. Honest girl, good boy.

El followed the directions given before he opened the conversation again, as he was sure Luna would not dare to talk let alone ask.

"Where are you at school, Luna?" El spoke lightly while focusing on driving. He deliberately did not turn on the radio or music because he wanted to talk to Luna and hear her voice. Even Luna's voice sounded cute in El's ears.

"In High School N 19, Sir..." Luna spoke stammeringly.

"Why are you so nervous? Are you afraid of me?" ask El.

Luna looked at horror. Direct questions like this make him die a tick.

It's tau! I have always been a good student who has never even entered the BP room. Now you have to talk to your manager? The one who holds the future of the family with the salary of the father. Of course I'm afraid, sir... Huhoo..

"Look, I didn't bite you..." El began to struggle which of course was not funny for Luna.

That's not the problem! Luna squealed inwardly. This person really did not understand his position right now.

"Yes, Sir..." Luna answered briefly. Hopefully El doesn't demand an answer anymore. He has tried to speak as calmly as possible to reduce the atmosphere of awkwardness that surrounds him.

"Oh yes, don't call me sir. You are not my officer. And don't call me Om, I'm ticklish to hear it." El shuddered for a moment. He looked at the confused Luna.

"You can call me brother. Brother El..." Luna glared at El's words.

Ask to be called my darling!

"Keep not wearing me anymore, just wear me you, okay?"

Luna was silent.

No okay.

"I can't beat your dad anyway, but if you cut the salary a little like it can still..."

Luna half in disbelief heard the threat from El's mouth. He thought El wouldn't threaten him.

"Okay, Brother El..." Luna finally smiled forming the letter O with her two fingers. Just give up, for safety's sake.

Someone finally called, brother! El cheered in his heart. He increasingly did not want to let go of this girl.

"Silver's hungry, let's stop by yuk first, Lun..."

Do I have to eat fruit again now? Luna glared for the umpteenth time, she began to nod her head.

Seriate...
