18. Night Market

The atmosphere of the city square is very crowded because there is a night market held every sixth of every month. Here is now Nara and Luna, Nara intends to take Luna for a walk to enjoy various rides here.

"Gue so want to ride the horses deh," said Nara saw the horse rides that revolve, there are many children who play accompanied by his parents.

"The horse didn't walk because of objections, Ra." Luna Ejek

"Lo mah that," Nara pouted but afterwards Nara held Luna in her arms as her eyes looked at someone familiar.

"Well you guys here?" Nara asked the two men. It turns out that Reza secretly followed Nara away here, the guy was also not alone but invited Gilang.

"Cowok lo the rhyme, Ra. He said he was afraid of why-why," said Gilang but Reza just kept silent and took Nara away to leave Luna and Gilang alone.

"Hi, Luna." Sapa Gilang's.

"Hallo sister," Luna replied a little awkwardly.

"You want to ride something, Lun?" ask Luna.

Luna looked at her.

Looking for his favorite vehicle when with his parents first. It didn't take long, Luna's eyes sparkled to see a beautiful reanglala adorned with colorful lights. "Gue wants to ride it, sister," pointed Luna.

Gilang hired Luna to buy tickets. Luna's heart beats because it is held by Gilang. But Luna quickly set her expression to look ordinary.

"How much, sir?" tanya Gilang to the bianglala vehicle officer.

"For how many?" the officer asked again.

"Two people, sir."

"For two, it will be forty thousand, '' answered the officer. Gilang leads Luna into the vehicle, Luna's eyes really sparkle when riding her favorite rides. It's been a long time since that woman has gone up the baranglala.

The bianglala began to spin, making the cabin below to be on top. From up here Luna can see the crowd of the night market from above, a beautiful view.

"Lo ride this often, Lun?" tanya Gilang looked at Luna's face that looked happy.

"Yes. I used to ride this a lot, sister," said Luna. "That's it, you can see something beautiful from up here. For example, this city of Jakarta, when viewed from above everything looks beautiful because it is decorated with night lights."

''So now you're happy?" ask Gilang.

Luna nodded her head, "Happy, sister."

"On the incident at school, I apologize on behalf of Arka, Lun. I know Arka's really outrageous." Gilang of course saw the incident where Arka slapped Luna in front of everyone. Gilang did not expect Arka would break his relationship with Luna at that time.

"No papa, brother, I've missed it. From the beginning Arka didn't like me." Luna looked straight ahead, not wanting Gilang to see her teary eyes.

"But I hope you're always on Arka's side, Luna," Gilang grabbed Luna's hand. "It's just you that I trust to keep Arka, I beg you not to stay away from him."

Luna let go of his grasp, "Sorry, brother. About that I need time."

Gilang smiled, leaving little room for Luna. He knew the pain that Arka had done was so deep that it stuck in Luna's heart.

After several spins, the two of them finally came down from the ring.

"Who would you buy?" ask Luna.

"Gue wants cotton candy, sis," replied Luna about to take the money from her pocket, but was held back by Gilang.

"Let me buy it."

"But, kak—"

"Pamali, Lun, refuse someone's gift" said Gilang mimicking the words Luna the other day.

The day is getting night, the atmosphere of the night market is now increasingly crowded. Lots of people are jostling to queue up tickets rides here. Luna sat on the chair eating cotton candy that Gilang bought. The guy came home first because there was business.

Luna's eyeballs narrowed, catching the figure of someone she recognized. The man holding hands was about to walk past Luna.

"Hi Luna's. I'm sorry for what happened in the cafeteria" suddenly Lolly approached her with Arka turning her face away.

"Why do you apologize, I am the one who Jambak lo fell." replied Luna.

"Because of Arka's actions, I know she's outrageous. Iue—"

"Gue has missed it all" said Luna cutting off Lolly's words. Luna stood up and left the two of them. Her mood would be ugly again if it continued to be around that person.

Luna stopped her steps when she saw two little children in her slightly worn out clothes. Luna squatted down to equalize her height.

"Hallo, my name is Luna" said Luna sticking out her hand. It seemed like they were afraid of the stranger, because the child was silent, Luna pulled her hand back.

"Luna," call Arka. The guy suddenly follows Luna and leaves Lolly alone. Luna just kept quiet and did not respond

Arka crouched down to look at the two little boys, "Hey champ, what's your name?"

"My name is Ciko." replied the boy.

"Oh Ciko's. What is this beautiful thing called?"

"This is Dela, this is my sister. But she was a little shy." she replied back. Luna does not believe Arka can make the two children talk to her, even she can not.

"Ciko, Dela, what are you doing? How sad is Kaya" asked Luna.

"Sister I want to ride the rides, brother," Ciko pointed to the rides of the roost that Luna had climbed. "But I don't have any money."

Luna's heart felt touched, she was about to take money from her pocket but lost quickly to Arka. That guy gave Ciko a hundred grand. "It's mostly brother."

"No papa for your snacks" Arka stroked the two children. It was glad that they hugged Arka and her eyes glazed over as if they were not expecting all this.

"Thank you, brother. Big brother is a good person, may you two stay together huh." said Ciko. Luna and Arka looked at each other.

"Oh yeah, Dela has nothing. But Dela had this for her beautiful sister." the daughter gave something to Arka.

"Pakein, pakein." the two boys cheered. Arka looked at Luna beside her, there was a strange feeling ever since the guy knew Luna. He was a little sorry for being rude to the girl.

Seeing Luna who was silent, Arka dressed the unicorn bando as the children wanted. The two children were happy and willing to play on the rides.

"So pretty sister, hopefully the universe does not separate you yes" said Ciko then pulled her sister buy a ticket to the reanglala.

Luna and Arka were silent with the words of the children. Is the universe really going to reunite them? Or will it keep him away?

Luna was about to step away but Arka held her wrist.

"Who's going home with you?" ask Arka to Luna.

Luna let go of her hand which Arka blocked, "Himself." replied Luna cuey.

"Gue anterin" said Arka.

"Gue can be alone" Luna repeated by pressing down on each word.

Arka seemed to think quickly so that Luna would go home with her. Arka grasped the idea and immediately attracted Luna.

"Arka—"

"Let's buy some yogurt, "miraculously, Luna did not rebel at all when she heard the word 'yogurt'. It seemed like the pain Luna felt was no greater than the desire to drink her favorite yogurt.
