Chapter 17: El is also a boy
"I'm not pushy, just asking with little threat." - El-El
Luna is traumatized by being seduced by El. He won't go into the room anymore. She's studying in the TV room until dinner's ready. They ate together with the papi who had just returned home.
"Luna, welcome to Rahardja's family" he said as they finished their dinner. "If there's anything, don't hesitate to tell El, papi, or mami, or any other sister." Papi smiled at Luna.
Luna returned a papi smile, she then opened her mouth in doubt. "Can?" ask Luna.
"Of course I can! You need anything?" ask papi.
Luna nodded quickly.
"Tell me," said Papi.
"Luna wants to sleep with mommy" said Luna.
"Ohookk!" mami choked for a moment. Followed by the papi who had coughed. Although El? Just stared at the empty plate in front of him.
"Ehm!" Papi cleared his throat, then tried to improve things. "If Luna's the same mom, who's the same papi?" ask papi.
"Just like El," replied Luna confidently.
While mommy and papi were still stunned by Luna's reply, El got up and stepped out of the dining room without saying a word.
Mami held Luna's hand. "You shouldn't talk like that" said Mami. "It looks like El's mad."
Luna bowed then turned her gaze in all directions, avoiding the mami and papi stares at her. "I'm sorry," said Mami.
Luna raised her face then looked at mami with a clear face. As if understanding, Mami asked Luna to stand up. "Come on, mami temenin," he asked.
"El," the mother's call stopped El from climbing the stairs. El turns to look at Mami and Luna who are hiding behind her mama.
"Luna wants to talk to you" said Mami.
"Tell Luna, if you want to talk El wait in the room." El turned around and continued his steps up the stairs.
Now she looked at Luna, as if asking her to catch up with El. Luna was silent for a moment and decided otherwise. "Luna, want to learn first" he said.
Mami gave up, she chose to watch TV again. Papi came and accompanied her, spending quality time together. Sometimes mami glanced at Luna who turned out to be really serious about learning.
"Why don't you go to Luna's room?" El suddenly appears in the TV room, startling Mami and Luna.
El's been waiting a long time, and now it's 10 p.m. Because Luna had not yet shown her nose, El became very upset and caught up with her.
"Come," said El while pulling Luna's hand, but Luna did not move from her seat.
Luna looked down not daring to look at El. "I'm still learning, brother.." he said slowly.
El scrambles Luna's books of emotions. Last afternoon she was just a fad of teasing Luna, but now Luna was avoiding her and it made her angry. It's free he gets the job done faster if it turns out he still can't be with Luna.
Fucking kid. Mommy takes care in the heart. He turned off the TV and stood up.
"It's late, Luna. Go back to your room and continue there. Mami was just as papi was going to sleep, too" said the mother then dragged her husband away.
El smiled with satisfaction. "Quick tidy up your book. Brother wait in the room. If you don't go in in 5 minutes, don't talk to your sister again" threatened El and disappeared at the end of the stairs.
Luna who was still in the TV room bit her lower lip confused. He was afraid to go back to the room, but he was also afraid of not coming back. Which is better?
Luna was sitting limp on the side of the sofa, putting her head on the cold table.
In or not?
El glanced at the clock on the wall of his room. It's 12pm and Luna hasn't arrived yet. What exactly is he doing?! How could Luna be that scared, right?
***
Luna opened her eyes due to the sound of her phone alarm that echoed loudly. He found himself asleep on the bed. Luna looked around and realized that it was El's room. He got out of bed and saw no El anywhere. Did El take her to the room?
Luna grabbed her phone and turned off the alarm, finding that she was too late. He rushed to the bathroom to shower and get dressed. After that he quickly tidied up his school equipment and ran downstairs.
"Where is Miss Luna going??" Shouted Mr. Ahmad as Luna ran in the courtyard.
"School!" Luna shouted back, she had opened the gate of El's house and immediately boarded the ojek she ordered.
At school Luna spent her time with her friends who mocked her until her ears itched. His friends only know that he is engaged and not married, and before that El also told Luna not to say that to anyone.
Luna managed to do well because she learned a lot last night, but now she is confused because it is time to go home.
⁇ ️ Lun, to the studio together. I otw elo class.
Message from Alex.
Yes, I'm waiting.
Luna continuously sighed throughout the journey until they were inside the studio.
"Why elo? Kucel so? Don't have any money?" ask Alex. He was picking the next song for Luna.
"Why? Do you want to give me money?" ask Luna. "This is a game, not PHP." Luna held out her hand.
Alex handed over two hundred thousand bills. "Create a song yesterday. I pay according to the view. Later if I love you again," said Alex.
"Thank you" replied Luna.
"Elo don't mind me giving you money? Turn around if that is it!" Alex was annoyed to see Luna's face that was puffed up like an old cracker.
Luna looked at Alex. "Lex, if you're angry, elo, what's the matter?" ask Luna.
"Elo again marahan?" ask Alex. "It's still a complicated boyfriend. Find another guy, if no one wants to, just like me."
Luna squinted her eyes in disbelief. "Don't joke. I'm serious about it" replied Luna.
I'm not kidding. I'm really serious. If I'm not serious about what I also help you elo.
Alex sniffed in annoyance. "Don't know me! Look it up on Google" he replied.
"Elo, that's not helping at all! I want to go back" said Luna. He was gone when Alex held him.
"Love something" said Alex. "Love what she likes" he continued.
What El likes is. ah, I don't know.
"If you were, what would you love?" Luna asked back.
"Mmmm..." Alex thought for a moment. "Singing is easy." Actually Alex just reasoned that Luna wanted to practice. "This song is great."
Luna grabs Alex's given phone, and begins to play it. "If you sing for your boyfriend, he must immediately apologize" Alex persuaded.
"Tell?" ask Luna.
"Iye." Alex gives the guitar to Luna. "I'm teaching you now, tomorrow you have to be sorry. The faster you can, the faster you can get the same elo boy."
Luna picks up her guitar and starts following Alex's directions. He finished training at 8pm when an unidentified number reached him. It turned out that it was Mr. Ahmad who was waiting for him in front of the studio, asking him to go home immediately.
Along the way Mr. Ahmad reminded Luna to go to school and go home with him, telling him that Luna would go anywhere, because from now on he was assigned to take Luna. Luna just answered yes. He was now thinking of El, what to do when he had arrived? Are they going to fight again?
