Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 13: Ta! Chickens

"Who are you, by the way?" Saras squinted at Arkana, if he was not Bima the scabbard, why would he come there with Ayana?

"I..?" Arkana pointed to herself in a stern voice. "Me, Arkana. Bima's best friend and co-worker, I've also been living in a house with them since 5 years ago."

"It turns out you're not brothers." Moon muttered, then it occurred to him, they are not brothers and live in the house. Is the rumor true? That Bima and Arkana skidipapap in the meeting room?

"So what's your problem?" saras asked, still a little cobbled. But he tried professionally.

While the Moon, from his breath alone still heard he was eager to take revenge on the Koreng Man who made his sleep not soundly for 18 years.

"hey, calm your breath, you sound like a bull about to kick an opponent." Bisik Saras tries to control his daughter.

"Banteng butted, not kicked." Ketus Moon did not heed the words of the mother. He blew his bangs while staring at his cynical mother Bima.

"So, we're here to ask Mom for help. Aunty Ayana is the victim of a bodong investment, and she is also responsible for two friends who invest at the request of Aunty Ayana. But it turns out that the investment boss disappeared without a trace, and the funds that had been invested also disappeared."

"aa.. The case apparently, I've heard the police are also looking for this man." Saras nodded, fraud cases through investment are indeed rife lately.

"So we asked Ms. Lawyer for help to make sure the fraudster returned the victims' money." Arkana continued, he hoped Saras would help and forget their problems first.

"aiiss, why bother? To pursue such a fraudster requires a lot of money, let alone you hire a lawyer who works at the firm. No. I don't want to help, but you'd better leave the case to the police, or you'd better take the money."

Saras has represented the victims of such scams several times, and in the end the victims spend money that is not comparable to conduct investigations and conduct trials.

"Saras please, this is not a small amount." Lirih Ayana made it clear, she even clasped Saras' hand.

"How much money did you lose? Are you ready to spend your money chasing that con man?" Anxious Saras raised the tip of his lips.

"600 thousand dollars," Ayana replied while crying, it was just a cry acting to melt Saras. But his inner cry was completely honest because he lost so much money.

Saras was surprised to hear that number, as well as the Moon who immediately opened the calculator on his phone. When adding 600 thousand dollars in rupiah, he almost lost his breath. That amount was enough for his life for 3 times reincarnation.

"Why are you so stupid?" sara's chirps are wide-eyed, why would a respected person like Ayana even invest her money in a stranger? It's totally beyond belief.

"Really.. I was stupid. Then I need your help Saras, if I can't find the con man, I'll have to double the amount on my friend." The cry of Ayana increasingly becomes, she is not sincerely born inward if she has to lose 3 times.

As Ayana and Saras talk, Arkana and Moon sit outside the Cafe while enjoying the coffee made by the Moon.

"Your homemade coffee is really delicious." Praise Arkana, it is not wrong if people in the office are addicted to moon concoction coffee.

"Should. Because I'm a barista." The moon is awkward and shy, of course. He had not yet taken a bath and his appearance was exactly like a kuntilanak rising from the grave.

"The world is narrow. I didn't think Bima and you knew each other. Even your mother also seems to have been close friends."

"No, the world is vast. Many beautiful women can commit." As the Moon raved, he even stared in concern at Arkana.

"I mean..?" Arkana folded his forehead, not understanding what the Moon was talking about.

"Do you also know that Bima and I have dated?" The moon once again wants to make sure, is it true that Bima has been fussy from the past. And whatever the reason Bima left him at that time.

"About 9 years ago."

Arkana felt a sigh that made her body creep. He was so afraid that the lie was exposed. If he had known he would meet the Moon again, he would never have told Bima to meet the Moon at that time. He should have deleted his account without lying to the Moon.

If only he had done so at that time, then today he would not have had to be anyone else before the Moon.

"Aren't you aware that Bima was your childhood friend?" Ask Arkana, eager for her to change this topic.

"No, not at all. If I had known it was him, I would have made sure his hair was on a tripe machine..!"

"hahaha, really? Can you do that? Wasn't she your boyfriend at the time?"

The moon fell silent, how could Bima be a pleasant figure, even always supporting him for 2 years. Although only through social media, the Moon can feel the sincerity.

"One thing I can't understand. I feel like I'm meeting a different person."

"The owner of the Baraspati and Bima account is like two different people. I don't know if it is one person, it means Bima is really not sane. You know what he gave me? White carnations symbolize death. Even when we were with him he was always busy with his cell phone."

Arkana swiped her feet to the ground, her lips pursed restraining her nervousness. Of course Bima was busy with his cellphone at that time, because he was the one who exchanged messages with Bima at that time.

"Then are you guys finished?" ask Arkana slowly.

"We've been done since that day. He left me without news, without certainty, he completely dumped me like trash! That Tutor is indeed a demon-brained human..!" It curses to the fullest, making Arkana's heart rate more and more kembis.

"You haven't forgotten it yet?"

"hm..." Moon nodded. "I will never forget that face. I'll make him accept the reward of his foul attitude. He seduced me through social media and then dumped me as good as he could. Wait.., does she know me and want revenge for my treatment?"

The moon is getting bigger. Bima really makes his life unpleasant like the smell of chicken tai. Unsettling.

"It is impossible.. I think all the kids have problems. There's no way Bima could hold a grudge for that long."

"Maybe, the evidence of my revenge is growing again now. It could be the same."

"Bima must have had a reason to leave you at that time. Believe me, Bima is not that bad."

"You're his best friend, chh." The Moon does not believe Arkana defends Bima wholeheartedly. Is not at least Arkana put his concern because it has been cast out in a sadistic way.

Arkana's mind is completely fucked up right now. The moon makes an absurd presumption for Bima. Get it now. Because of the work the image of Bima plummeted in the eyes of the Moon. He will think of a way that the Moon does not continue to slander Bima.

The next day....

At 07:30 in front of Bumantara building.

"Woy...!" Shouting Moon. He ran towards Bima with plastic gloves and a chicken t4i. It has been 20 minutes he awaits the arrival of Bima.
