Tonight Moonlight

Episode 5's

With a rusty iron fence can make me shudder in horror considering the events of that time. Dhani is still walking, about three meters behind me. I stopped waiting for Dhani with my position close enough to the meat mill.

For now, may I admit something? I'm a little scared. Today, the sun is almost completely hidden. Lives a tinge of orange in part of the western sky that is still visible. Also the moon with a slightly comforting reman-beam.

As if understanding what I was thinking, Dhani quickened her pace. Makes me feel a little relieved by it.

"Fearful?" Dhani approached me.

"I'm not a cowardly girl."

"Judehahlah. Why stop here? What are you hungry for?" Again Dhani precedes my path. He put on his metallic black headphones.

The road I am currently walking on is the fastest route to my campus. Although it's just a shortcut, it's helpful enough for a passerby like me. Yeah, I almost never use any vehicles or transportation to my college. It is not because of the prohibition of father or brother.

Because I like to walk. Walk like we enjoy every second, every second we see. After all, it does not cause air pollution and nourish the body. The distance from home to campus is about four kilometers by passing the traffic jam.

But by passing this shortcut, it was only about one and a half kilometers. And it can be taken no more than ten minutes. In addition to time efficiency, there are also other advantages that I get, making me cover the fear that has been in me when passing the same path.

Soon I will graduate from university. It's only a few months until I don't have to go down this road. Just need to hold on for a little while. And now there's no need to worry anymore, right? There was Dhani who accompanied me through this road.

This night is not what I used to be. Not the twilight, I mean the human\-manusians who do their activities and activities are different from the usual\-day. Arriving home, my sister was already ahead of me and Dhani.

Sitting alone on the living room sofa while continuing to look towards the laptop on his lap. I'm interested to see more about what my sister is doing. While Dhani went up to her room first without a care.

"Sister. Tumben, how come home?" I took a seat beside him.

"Eh yes. Brother came home first because there's business." The answer is friendly as always.

"Oh, oh, my brother?"

"Why?" Brother responded to me but his eyes were still so focused on his laptop.

"Aren't you weird about something in this house?" I half whispered and approached.

For a moment, Brother kept silent and looked at the entire house. "Any? Yeah, well, the same house itself is weird."

"I mean, brother is not strange the presence of Dhani in this house that seems suddenly. What will make you accept Dhani's presence? What absurd reason?"

"Ooh you're talking about Dhani. Well if that's Dad's decision, anyway later brother does not stay here anyway."

"Sir.., that's not all I mean."

“Dhani who is it? Whose son? Why stay here? Why this house?"

"Tasya..., you're not jealous if Dhani gets more attention from Dad, right?” The older brother asked as if he was defending Dhani.

“Or are you afraid that Dhani will be Dad's adopted son? You see, Dhani is pretty good too. And I think he fits you." Brother's words are increasingly indistinct in these ears.

"Sister. I was young for such business. I'm not rich Brother or sister Andhika who enjoys white gray\-gray time with fun. My life is gray\-gray brother.”

“Meanings find guy dong.”

"Udah deh.., you should remember the age. Our age difference is not far away. Soon you have to change your gray world, and look ahead. There's someone there who expects you not to have a regular relationship.” He put his laptop.

“But a serious relationship ahead." Rista got up from her seat and walked towards the dining table, leaving me dazed in a pitiful mind. I don't need to be pitied, why doesn't anyone understand that?

I followed my sister to the dinner table. He continued to open his lap and just kept quiet. I shut up, and finally went into the room. I just got out of my room when dinner time came. I still don't understand all this.

Why does no one understand my mind? Why is it that no one is aware of the strangeness that is happening. After looking briefly at the moonlight from the balcony and inhaling the smell of pterikor, I went down.

I will occupy a seat. Brother asked me to go up and call Dhani for dinner. Although half-heartedly, I finally agreed to Brother's request.

"Dhani... Dhani..." Call me from the door of her room that looks locked. Shortly thereafter, the summoned one opened the door of his room with a flat face as usual.

"What's wrong?" Ketus.

"Eat night." I pointed at the clock on my left hand.

"Okay, I'll follow. Not papa first." He went back in and closed the door slowly. 

  

As expected. Surely Dhani will refuse if it was me who asked her to come down for dinner. Basic flat man, what the hell is the same as him? Do you have a burden of life? Or mental problems?

  

Down each rung of stairs with a\-gruntle grunt and a scolding in the heart. Until finally arrived at the dining table that already existed Kak Rista with glasses like the one Dhani wore when I called him earlier.

*Oh jeez! I almost forgot it*.

Dhani wears glasses! Why didn't I realize it at all? Waw! As beautiful as what God's creation is in a flat man, to whatever style he still looks beautiful in the eyes of humans. Oh, my God, what the hell am I talking about!

My hand knocked on the table in front of Brother "Sister. Which father?" I asked when Brother raised his head.

"Talk ahead." Hearing Big Brother's reply, I immediately moved and looked ahead.

  

Who else interrupted the family dinner this time? Uninspiring. Every dinner there's something that gets her delayed. Sadly, there was never even the best dinner in the house. 

  

Again\again my mind nagged itself as I continued walking towards the front room. When the foot steps past the last bulkhead...

**!

I'm stopping. Noiseless, then slightly concluded a smile as the person seemed to be looking at me. I was a little awkward and started to walk closer.

"Tasya..! How many years have we not seen each other?" Welcome him not to accept my residence. I accepted his hand job and re-carved a smile.
