(Not) Dream Marriage
Big Decisions

"I shouldn't have allowed you to take the man. I should have just kicked him out. I shouldn't be permissive..!" Said Mario furiously holding back his anger.

The face of the moon looked dead this time. It's been hotter all day.

He repeatedly apologized to show his regret. And maybe Mario has grown tired of hearing it. But that's all this time the Moon can say.

"Mar, I'm sorry, I really didn't mean it that way. I'm really really really sorry, Mar." Moon said softly her voice trembled withstanding her cries.

Time and again Mario just grunts annoyed while smoking his cigarette.

They were silent for a moment with their respective thoughts at that moment. Moon finished the iced coffee latte he ordered at the cafe, while Mario still smoked his cigarette. I don't know how many cigarettes he spent to channel his emotions.

"Mario..." Call the Moon while swallowing her saliva.

Mario turned to the Moon and looked at his face.

"That is everything to me. When I was a child, when Papa was still working in the corners of the island of Borneo, and Mama followed him there. At that time I just entered SD and Raka was Junior High. It was the Eyang Kakung and the Princess who took care of me. Raka may be full of Mama and Papa's affection, but I'm still lacking, Mar.

Then when Mama and Papa were going to divorce first, it was Eyang who played their part in reconciling. The lawsuit file, which was already in court, was eventually revoked. It was also because of Eyang Kakung." Moon Story on Mario.

He unconsciously twisted the tip of his shirt until it was tangled, shrinking his face at that time.

"He is very hard-hearted. But that hardness of heart saved my family." Reciprocity.

"And now, I'm making him die faster with my stupid deeds." Her face was covered with her hands.

"Isn't he sick?" Ask Mario.

"I made it worse." Answer the Moon.

"I mean, you're not necessarily the cause."

"It's definitely because of me, Mar." Sela Moon.

"There are two things that make him able to survive with heart disease that he suffered for a long time. The Princess and I. The Princess is dead, now I'm left." Moon Speech.

"I've broken my heart." He nodded while languid.

"You also broke my heart and broke it." Sela Mario is really upset.

"Yes, I broke everyone's heart. I was fucked..." The Moon's voice was almost gone swallowed by the feeling of pressure.

After Moon's confession to Mario at the cafe that afternoon. Moon's back in the hospital while Mario's out of nowhere.

The moon walked down the hospital corridor with shaky steps. Mario is very angry and disappointed in him. Same with Eyang.

The Moon repeatedly condemned his carelessness and foolishness that night. He deeply regretted the events of that night, if the time he could turn back..

The moon takes a deep breath and exhales slowly filling up the oxygen in her lungs in order to think more clearly this time in making a decision.

The moon returned to the room Eyang in the care of. At that time, Eyang was asleep. The moon looked at Eyang's face with regret.

"I can't disappoint Eyang anymore. I have to make his life spirit come back to what it was. Forgive the Moon, Eyang." Say it in the heart.

Mama told the Moon to go home and rest first, the night will Papa and Mama who will take care of Eyang.

Mama pity to see the Moon who always took care of Eyang yesterday as long as she was unconscious.

"You rest first. The condition of Eyang is now getting better. Let Papa and Mama take care of Eyang today."

"Good Ma. Month back first. If there's anything with Eyang, tell the Moon." Pamit Bulan's.

Mom smiled as she patted her shoulder.

The moon to the parking lot picked up his car and headed to his house, which had been unattended for days.

In his mind he kept ringing his request. Even when closing his eyes, Eyang's request still turned around in his head.

****

That night the Moon drove his car to an address. He walked down the road at a slow speed when he entered the street listed in the address. He was driving slowly while sharpening his eyes looking for the number written on the address.

Finally he stopped right in front of a house that was not too big. It's not as big as his house. It looks like there are sand and stone mounds, and it looks messy and dirty because it has not been renovated.

Moon picked up her cell phone and immediately contacted someone who lived inside the house.

The sky grabbed his vibrating phone, the name of the Moon.

"Come out, I'm outside." Sahut Moon.

The moon outside the house?

The sky was falling out of the house.

The moon leaned against the car door, both hands stuffed into a jacket pocket. Eyebrows up.

"Hmmmm.... You live in such a messy house?" Asked the Moon while shaking his head.

"Inside is not so messy." The sky while grinning.

"What's the night here? Oya, how's Eyang?" Ask Sky.

"We're looking for a seat." Take the moon and open the car door.

"In the car..?" Ask Sky wonder.

"Follow it first."

The sky obeyed the request of the Moon. Then Moon drove the car to a small cafe located not far from the place.

When the Moon and the Sky got there, they took their place by the window. They sit next to each other.

The moon told me everything that happened last day. Eyang's request was hard not to fulfill. It was as if it was a way to atone for the sins they had committed. Then Mario's anger and disappointment. Then the Moon has taken the best and greatest decision to make his Eyeang return to the spirit of living his life.

The decision that finally made the Sky dumbfounded upon hearing it.

"Sky..?" Call the Moon to awaken the Sky from its astonishment.

"Oh, yeah.. Anu's... I'm.." Answer the stammered Sky.

"Maybe it's better for Eyang to die than to live with the tarnished honor." The moon breathed.

"Why is honor only seen from that side at a dead price?" The Moon as it glares.

"If it's a consequence that we have to bear, I can't do anything else, Lan." Sahut Langit.

"It's not to play with the meaning of marriage, but to risk our future like this alone is very hard. I can't afford to have a real wedding." Moon Saying.

"You mean?" Ask Sky while frowning.

The moon smoothed out her sitting position, then took a deep breath before continuing her speech.

"I've thought this well. We got married in front of Eyang, but we're still friends."

"You mean?" The sky showed a confused face.

"Yes. We live in a house, but we live each other's lives, like we used to." Answer Month.

"That's it, huh?" Sky mangosteen.

The moon answered with a nod of the head.

"How long till, Lan?" Ask Sky then.

The moon was silent for a long time before answering.

"Until conditions permit." The tone of the Moon's voice hangs, for he himself is not sure.

"Then about Mario?" Celtuk Langit's.

"I hurt him, that's for sure. I cried for days, but it didn't feel enough, and it's never going to be enough..." The moon is sad.

The sky looked at the Moon, holding her shoulder the woman beside her.

"Month.."

"Yes?" Moon looks.

"We're gonna be okay." Sky Speech.

The moon closed its lips, unsure.
