Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 24: The Stranger?

The moon shed her tears in Arkana's arms. I don't know who he could tell this crazy thing. He could only swallow the bitterness of his life's destiny by himself.

From the front door, Arkana saw Raul climb the stairs without guilt. He looked at the old man. His mind cannot be positive when he remembers what he did to the moon.

...~~~...

Arkana and Moon returned to the hospital, shortly after Raul got there. They come apart.

"I'm sorry," Lirih Bulan seemed to walk down, down the hospital hallway.

"For what?" Arkana looked at meu. He hugged the Moon first, and why the Moon apologized first.

The moon scratched the tip of his nose, for what apology did he just say? He himself did not know because of the origin of the talk, in order to remove the awkward situation.

"Please don't tell anyone about that, let alone my mom."

"hm, just calm down." Arkana nodded slowly.

"Why were you there?"

"I take the initiative, usually people who are upset like to act recklessly." Arkana answered, he lied again this time.

The moon just nodded, he felt lucky to still be surrounded by people who were paying attention to him well.

Raul enters the hospital room, while Moon waits outside. He did not want to make his mother ask why his face was getting swollen. He walked around waiting for his eyes to recover. While Arkana, he sat in a waiting chair while yawning widely.

"We're going to follow the team to the set, you can catch up tomorrow if your mother's condition improves." Bima said, he just finished washing his face to be refreshed. Continuing a long journey is not easy, especially the condition of the body is tired.

"mm.." said the Moon did not open his mouth, he just nodded with a blank look.

"You guys are leaving? Can you continue on this midnight journey? Sleep here, leave tomorrow morning. Mr. Tara must have understood."

Ayana does not want Bima and Arkana until why-why on the road, the night is late and their journey is quite long.

"But ma'am, we'll kill our team if we have to wait longer. We have to start filming tomorrow morning..." Bima disagreed with the mother's opinion.

"Already at 1 pm, I do not want to hear the news of other accidents, especially if you drive like a ghost! Your team won't mind, will it, Arka...?"

Ayana moved her face towards Arkana, the boy would not dispute that. But it turned out that Arkana was closed on the waiting chair, his legs were resting on each other, his hands were folded on his chest, his face was bowed and there was a smooth snoring.

"seen? He must be sleepy, "Ayanna broke Bima's objection.

Bima could not speak anymore, he rubbed his face and splashed the rest of the water to Arkana. Arkana did not move.

"thesss..! He could have slept at this time."

Bima came out of there to get some fresh air. His head is full of plans for tomorrow. There will be a lot of activities when they get there.

"Gosh..!" Bima almost slipped because she saw the Moon standing lethargic at the end of the hall.

With messy hair, he smashed his forehead into the corridor pillar repeatedly slowly. Somehow so that he can get rid of that erratic anger.

"Sial.sdial.sdial..sdial.." He said with teeth clashing against each other. Then he was surprised when he realized his forehead hit the back of Bima's hand that blocked the corridor pole.

"What are your brains?" As for Bima, he looked at the Moon as if he was comparing every inch of the body of the girl with the woman he was trying to marry in the subconscious.

From the corridor pole, the Moon turned to fix its forehead on the guardrail.

"That's it.. I don't want to talk to an ancient creature like you."

Bima leaned back, he took a cigarette and started to make a match.

"You smoke?"

"You crazy?!" The moon glanced off guard.

"Stop crying, or your eyes won't open tomorrow morning."

The moon did not respond, nor was it any good for it to crush the heartless man. He really wanted to go to a quiet place, and then screamed loudly.

The moon turned its head, was it possible that the man still remembered his old story? He only told his girlfriend about the problem.

"You still remember that?" tanya Bulan hopes, if indeed Bima still remembers, he will be very happy, it means that even if just telling stories, he can release the strings in his mind.

"What..?" Bima was astonished, he raised his eyebrows to the Moon.

"Past... I often tell you my problems, ah, forget it." Moon locked up the intention to continue the story, besides there are facts that Bima does not know about the status of his father.

"If you want to tell me again, I don't mind. I love to hear someone's story, and then make it an inspiration. I'm sure, as a writer, you'd love to listen to other people's stories."

Smoke coming out of Bima's mouth greets the Moon's nasal cavity. I don't know what kind of cigarette it is, the aroma is very soft and relaxing. He unconsciously closed his eyes while enjoying the smell of cigarette smoke.

"Wisdom?" Bima asked.

The moon opened her eyes.

"This cigarette is prescribed specially by an herbal compounder. Made of foliage that can relax the mind."

It is a special cigarette, not from tobacco that usually causes a disturbing aroma when inhaled by others.

Bima took one more stick, then attached it to the mouth of the Moon. "Try it, you like the smell, right?"

The moon does not refuse, he wondered if it was really a cigarette that can relax the mind? This is the first time he has touched a cigarette with his lips.

Bima turned on the match, then burned the end of a cigarette that had been stanby on the lips of the Moon.

"Suck slowly like breathing air, then release when the smoke clumps have accumulated."

The moon complies, he sucks in the base of the cigarette. But because it was not good enough to regulate the smoke, he also choked until his cigarette fell to the floor.

uhukk..! uhukk..!

"aissshhhhhhhhh..! You almost killed me!" His curse was on Bima who was laughing small.

"You're so bad, I could even do it on my first try." It's funny to see both cheeks of the Moon so red."

"When did you first smoke? At High School?"

"mmm, maybe a new time passed SD hahahhaa..."

"hisses..! You've been insane a long time."

Because he could not enjoy the cigarette, Bima also exhaled all the smoke he made towards the Moon. Not only once, now he even advanced closer to the face of the Moon, then exhaled his smoke again.

The moon that did not feel disturbed even closed his eyes, the smoke really did not cause itching or stinging. He was enjoying the scent like he was inhaling a therapeutic candle.

"Look, it's not good to keep it to yourself." Bima's whisper persuaded, he wanted to enter slowly, down what exactly the figure of the beautiful-eyed girl.

"It's about my dad, can you give me some advice? I want him and my mom to split up,"

The Moon really believes that Bima still remembers that. He believes Bima can still give him advice, just as he used to whenever he needed it.

The two eyes of Bima that had been sparkling became flat and sharp, what does it mean? What the hell is going on? Though he saw the father and mother Moon quite harimonis. Why did he want his parents to separate?

The tears of the Moon began to drip again, especially considering the events just now.

"Even when I came home with news of my mother's accident, she asked me to come back because she missed me.." she covered her face with both hands, it is unexpected that this shameful story should still be repeated.

Bima scratched his nape that was not itchy at all. He is really confused, is it wrong if a father says misses his son?

"Why are you telling your story to strangers?" Cut down Arkana who accidentally heard their chat.

The moon immediately wiped his tears, he turned to look at the man who actually knew most everything about him.
