WHYS

The Day

Who does not know with the saying get sick first have fun later. The Moon has always held that saying until she grows up. But from today until he dies, the Moon no longer seems to want to believe the saying. 

He said the Lord gave His servant a trial because he knew His servant was capable. The moon agreed. The proof is that he is alive today, and it is enough to prove that he is able to survive all of that.

The moon had met an old woman while she was contemplating on the bridge. The woman said, the sicker you are now, the happier you will be. The moon just nodded as if in belief. In his heart he rejected the words of the woman. To this day, the moon has not found its greatest happiness. Not the Moon is not grateful. He admitted he was very lucky to have Arghi, Dirga, and the Stars in his life. But who does not want to feel the love of parents? Who wouldn't want to have friends? Okey, scribble friends only because he has Lisa as his only friend now. 

Every girl, if asked, who was your first love? 90% of girls answer their fathers. And who took care of you as a child? 90% of children will also answer their mother. But the other 10? Who knows? 

The moon laughs with its head. Back to reality. The moon tidied up her clothes and then looked at the reflection of her body on the glass. Beautiful hair and a little face she smeared powder and natural pink lip tint. Rarely does she dress up. Usually only when attending the event of his parents only Moon dabbling although thin.

"See you in the moon" he murmured softly.

After being satisfied looking at himself the Moon immediately came out of his room. Down to the family room and found Arghi there focused on staring at the television.

"Sister" Arghi turned to find the brother who had been tidy.

"Dandy's grandfather?!" He cried with a big smile and then rose to the Moon.

"Little," said the clumsy Moon.

"Whose grandfather is this? How pretty?" Moon smiled shyly at Arghi's praise.

"Where are the stars going?" Arghi asked as he gently stroked the Moon's head.

"Somewhere," replied the Moon somewhat doubtfully.

"The package should not be removed. Don't forget to eat, don't drink ice." Arghi's advice is certainly taken by the Moon.

"Sister,"

"Hmm?"

"Can you hug?"

Arghi was silent for a moment and laughed. "What happened first?" Arghi pulled the Moon into his arms.

"Don't forget to take the medicine, don't forget to check up too."

"Yes dear."

"You got nothing on the phone. Say hello to Dirga, sayin adek kangen."

Arghi's forehead shriveled. Little wonder at the Moon's behavior today.

"Sister's hug is very comfortable. So males is leaving."

Arghi pecked at the head of the Moon. "Later home, brother hugged me again."

The moon smiled. Letting go of his embrace, looking at his brother's handsome face.

"It's okay, brother." Arghi nodded, escorting the Moon to the porch of the house. There the star stood straight beside the door.

"Tumben wait here. Usually go in."

"Magors." Arghi sneering.

"Be careful." The stars and the moon nodded.

The moon had already walked first to the car leaving the Star still in place with Arghi.

"Gue said goodbye bro," Arghi nodded.

Unexpectedly the Star suddenly hugged Arghi making the one embraced in confusion. What's wrong with his best friend?

"My best friend is big." Arghi was further astonished.

"We're the same age as Bego. You're a really old cake from me."

"Gue is older than four months."

Arghi grunting. "Four months are proud."

"Thanks is my best friend."

Arghi returned the arms of the Stars. "Even though I'm confused as to why, but equally."

The star smiled and took off his embrace. "Gue hugged Arghi." His words of excitement made Arghi's countenance turn flat.

"Dirt."

The star laughed while patting Arghi on the shoulder. "Pamit bro."

The next day the star that followed the Moon got into the car. It left Arghi who continued to stare at the car until it was no longer visible in his view. His hand raised holding his chest which was painful. "May you all be well."

A quarter of the way they had to travel, but the car suddenly stopped suddenly. The moon turned to the side, finding the Star that had lowered its head while creeping its stomach.

The moon came down from the car to the steering wheel. "Let's move on."

The star shook while continuing to bow.

"Star, plis." Press Moon.

The moon pulled the star down from the car. Tapping the man to where he was sitting and then filling the steering wheel.

"Sorry," said the star as the car returned to running.

"What a hell, it's so much more." The moon snorted while accelerating the speed of his car exactly like the person being chased by loan sharks.

"I can't wait to see God like that." Syndir Bintang's.

"Are we plunging straight into the abyss?" Ask Moon. His gaze circulated onto the desolate street with a ravine on his left right. A very appropriate place for healing or even suicide for those who want to give up will live.

"It's in vain that we die now."

"Oh yes."

"How many days are we gonna get caught?" 

"Maybe...a week?" Answer the doubtful Star.

"It's been a week!"

"I'm just nebak."

After that, the two no longer had a conversation. There is only the subtle sound of the car wheels running smoothly. Until the two arrived in an old building with long grass around it. Seen has long been undeniable to make the building seem haunted. The moon goes down first, then helps the stars out of the car.

"It hurts?" Which is answered only with a nod.

The star clasped the Moon's hand tightly while forcing her body to stand, trying to put aside the pain. Looked at the old building. "Don't let go." The moon obeyed.

They also walked inside. Netra both immediately found a masked man who seemed to have been waiting for the arrival of the Star and Moon.

"Welcome home." A heavy voice filled the room. "You ready?"

"Remember the initial agreement." Star Sweat. Makes the masked man laugh.

"You just calm down."

And without further ado, without being able to be seen with eyes open, the man moved as fast as the wind pulled out something that then made the Star stagger back. Biting his lower lip firmly resisted groans. A shot from a shotgun that even the Stars had not seen for as long as he lived. When the bullet pierced the abdomen right at the site of its operation yesterday, Bintang knew that it was no ordinary rifle. The pain was very much felt, unlike anything he had ever experienced before. The star tightened its grip on the Moon as the man approached. And again, without being able to dodge, the Star was kicked backwards until its back hit the wall. The grasp of the two fell off instantly.

"Ohokk" The star coughed violently until blood came out of its mouth. Looking up to see the Moon that has been in the hands of the criminal.

The moon itself can do nothing. Just silently staring worriedly at the star that looked in so much pain. He can't do anything.

His estimate of the Moon would be his next target after the Stars, but it turned out to be wrong. The masked man disappeared suddenly and appeared before the Star. This time he stabbed the Star in the same place using a knife that was no longer sharp, visible from his broken knife eye. Just imagine if that blunt weapon stabbed into your body. 

The moon is still in place. His tears flowed profusely from the start seeing the Star fixated for a while until the blood regurgitated.

The stars are getting worse. The man's right hand touched his left abdomen which may have been torn wide apart. Operated, shot, kicked, and now stabbed. What a pity his stomach fate.

The Moon ran up to the Star, but the masked man stabbed him with a kitchen knife in the chest, causing him to reflexively fall right in front of the Star. Then the masked man stabbed him back in the back to make the Moon fall completely to the cement floor.

"Thank you for the fun, and enjoy." His words then disappeared like the wind leaving the Stars and Moon that had been at the end of death.

The star painstakingly picks up oxygen that feels very painful for her to breathe while trying to maintain her consciousness. Trying to stay seated, but not. His body collapsed to the floor because he was no longer able to support the load. His trembling hands tried to touch the Moon lying behind him. Then with the remaining energy pull the Moon until they face each other. The two hugged each other in the middle of the blood.

"Strong boy," the shrill Star is almost inaudible.

"Gue dear lo. Marry now yuk." The Star's words suddenly made the Moon laugh silently without a sound.

"Love you too. Let's get married." The star nodded and closed its eyes. In his heart began to bind the sacred sentences that are usually spoken to unite the two parties who love each other to get to the official level. It's okay, but it's okay.

The Moon waits until the Star opens its eyes.

"Udah, we're married." The stars smiled softly. Ignoring her body which was painful. The man shifted his left hand, making his arm the cushion of the Moon's head. The two stared at each other for a long time. Until the Star advances its face, peeping the Moon's forehead long enough.

"I love you." A sentence that the Star had never spoken in its entire life was now spoken in the midst of its dying. Even with the moon's dotted voice, you can certainly hear the words Star.

"Thank you for everything."

The moon cupped the face of the stars. "I love you too. Thank you for everything you do." 

The two teenagers laughed without a sound. Rarely do the two speak softly to each other coupled with my calling you.

"Bin, man,"

"Hm?"

"I don't think I'm strong." 

The stars' gazes instantly turned heartily. He bowed to see the face of the Moon more clearly, then again kissed the girl's forehead. "Sleep baby, sleep well." Mumbled.

"Thank you for holding on to this moment." The stars smile.

The moon returned a smile the stars were no less wide. The girl looked very sweet, able to make the Stars stunned for a while.

"Love you Stars." Slowly the beautiful petals were tightly closed along with the lifting of the burden that the girl had been carrying. The desire to commit suicide is not fulfilled, but God has another way to grant the Moon's wish even if it must be in a tragic way.

The stars are hugging the Moon. Her tears flowed without her holding back. The loss of a loved one is painful even though he knows that soon his turn will come. The tightness still accompanies the pain.

"God, it hurts a lot." Stimulants.

When the Moon still opens its eyes the Star does not complain at all. But since the Moon had fallen asleep, the Star without a doubt voiced its pain.

"Hurry up and take me God," he asked sounded very painful. The star wept so hard that pain. Just this time he felt this painful pain.

The star looks up to regurgitate the blood fluid that had forced it out. He's really not strong anymore.

His mind drifted to the moment where he heard the reason Arghi's heart had been damaged. It was because of her, this extremely stupid self. If only he had not done anything stupid, Arghi would not have had to get hit and still be healthy until now without feeling any pain. Maybe this is the reason. God wants to punish him in this way. His life was long uprooted for him to feel pain first.

"Arghi, sorry." He spoke without sound because he was no longer able to say a word, even a groan he could not utter. "I, Davendra the Star of Space, declare the fall guarding the Full Moon of Light."

The stars then put on a smile. The eyes of the crescent moon were closed slowly, following the Moon into the lap of the Lord. Leaving a cruel world for the aftermath back to the real home.

Two people who love each other without speaking. Two people who complement and protect each other. Survive all kinds of trials together. Cuddle each other when one of them is at the bottom of the pedestal. 

Two people who have just expressed their feelings when both are on the verge of death, but God brings them together forever to eternal life.
