Tonight Moonlight

Episode 7's

"Now, what have you promised my son? At least I can keep your promise other than to accept this proposal." Said Dad firmly.

"Nothing."

"Let's remember, maybe there's another appointment?" Silence again. Andhika looked down and thought of the answer to Dad's question.

"Nothing." Reply firmly.

"Try to remember correctly. If there is no other appointment, you can go and receive it with the air."

Father raised his hand to show the exit to Brother Andhika. Indeed Father is the stubborn type and difficult or almost intolerable at all his words. Suddenly the mood became quiet. I'm waiting for Andhika's reaction.

"It seems to be there, but I'm not sure you can keep your second promise, before the first one."

"Say."

"We promised to get married on February 29 of leap year." 

Dad laughed a little at Andhika's reply. I don't know what she thought after hearing that answer. But of course true, Dad could not marry the two if the proposal alone is not accepted.

"Then take care of the letters immediately. Let me take care of the building and the other equipment." Said Dad in one breath. 

Andhika then raised her head to look at Dad with a smile full of haru. Dad stood up from the sofa followed Andhika. Dad walked up to Andhika and greeted her, then patted Andhika on the shoulder and hugged her.

"May you continue to protect my son and our country." Whisper Dad in Andhika's ear.

"Dad!" Shouted brother Carista storming hugging Father's body. With tears that can not be dammed, it is not enough to say thank you to Dad.

"I'm sorry I scared you. Actually, Mr. Surya called Dad this morning. He said Andhika wanted to come here. As soon as I take a day off and wait, it turns out you've come gini nights."

"Who? Do you know my dad?"

"Surya was a classmate when he was in school. And, don't call me, call me Dad."

"Dad.." Carista's voice was spoiled, again he had to be made haru by his father's attitude.

After seeing the baper incident from above, I immediately went down and also felt the atmosphere as if it was a happy pink. I can only smile. Finally my sister will end her bachelor years at the age of 25 this year.

If you see the happy smile that emanates from the handsome face of Andhika, I always remember the time when they met once a year at the cafe in front of SMU. Or when sister cries in the room because the phone from Andhika's sister is cut off suddenly. It felt, all the suffering they felt first paid off by Father's blessing.

Some may call myself alay because I am moved by my brother's relationship, but I know that I have never felt it. The only reason I am so happy, is because only they can get this kind of happiness. I can't. Or maybe not yet.

"Congratulations, brother!" I hugged Brother Carista and Brother Andhika alternately.

Brother Andhika continues to show off his neat teeth through a happy smile. While my brother was incessantly crying. Even his nose looked red.

What a beautiful moment in late December.

I walked back, let their happiness flow at the end of the year. I can smile all night. Finally Brother Andhika had great courage to reveal what he had been holding back.

This happiness already feels good to me, even though I have not felt the same. I sat on the garden chair, facing the pool two meters ahead. I saw the moonlight reflecting on the calm water. I closed my eyes while holding my necklace pendant.

I am grateful to be alive today, grateful to still be able to see the moonlight with this pair of eyes. Although to be honest sometimes I feel lonely without the figure of Mom in my everyday life. But Dad never taught his children to fall, and new happiness will continue to emerge after today. That's my spirit.

"What the hell. I am so happy that I don't want to ruin their happiness either. I know you're happy tonight." I try to smile sweetly.

"Lebay ah." Brother Andhika lightly patted my sweet face.

"Who is more? Really, I'm up to the baper." My word.

"Thank you, yes. You're the best sister who's always been passionate for Carista to keep believing in me." Brother Andhika sitting next to me also stared at the pool water reflecting the moonlight.

"That's my job, brother. I am happy when my sister is happy. And now, I'm going to have a sister-in-law. The handsome again." I laughed at myself hearing my words.

"Honest of all, this is the first time anyone said I was handsome."

"Really?" I spontaneously rounded my eyes of disbelief.

"Yes. Almost all the girls I meet, they say I change, my skin darkens like a thick cloudy moon in the middle of the night." He half-numbed.

"Have it, don't be a poetic ass. Brother Andhika's skin is darker than before." I also reinforce other people's ideas about the view to Brother Andhika.

"No, you're the same. Is your guy handsome? Which handsome is the same as me?" Asked spontaneously.

"I don't have a guy.." Answer me for what it is.

"Lying. must be backstreet, right?" Ask probing.

"What I'm rich are you guys courting secretly? Really. I'm single from the first time I was born." I strengthened my own words.

"Who is that?" Ask Brother Andhika to look behind me.

A man stands behind a glass wall that borders the garden with a living room. Looks like the guy's talking seriously with Dad. Yes, even though only the shadow of his body is high. But that figure was clearly very familiar.

"Or on top?" Brother Andhika's hand turned my gaze to the balcony of Dhani's room. Dhani stood there with her flat face and her eyes stared right here.

"No, Brother.." My words immediately took my eyes off the flat man.

"Consciousness continues. If he can't stand you, he really likes you."

"What the hell." I hit the shoulder of Brother Andhika who increasingly unclear talk everywhere.

"Cobain is me." Brother Andhika reassured me once again.

"Ck." I crossed my arms in front of my chest, looking at that flat human who was still standing holding his drinking glass while looking at me expressionlessly.

"One..., two.., three." Dhani turned around and entered. Even the guy turned off his room lights.

"Fixes. He likes you." Cockroach Brother Andhika.

"My sister-in-law's candidate.., look at her behavior just looks really if you don't care. Where do you like it? Not very much."

"That's called pull. The guy usually likes it when he likes girls."

"Tau deh. Come in yuk, it's cold." I walked into the house. Kak Andhika's.
