Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 33: The Truth

Seeing that, Arkana who sat right next to him nudged the Moon's arm. To be more able to hold back.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry.." He said as he lowered his head towards the audience and the media.

"Bringing someone unprofessional on stage to meet fans isn't that embarrassing?" Cela one of the journalists who like her works for gossip events, that's why she throws questions that can be directly in the fry.

The moon once again apologized, her eyes were heavy. He had slept enough all night.

"We are here to welcome fans, promote new titles and invite you all to support us. As one of the people who worked hard to make this film happen, is it unnatural for us to feel exhausted?"

Dania said with a big smile, she seemed to defend the Moon, but she just wanted to show that she and the Moon were on very different levels.

"Dania..! You are beautiful inside out, I love you so much...!" Cheers of one of Dania's hardline fans.

The sleepiness problem was immediately drowned by the fans who struggled to get a photo with Dania.

Among the boisterous atmosphere, the Moon is still plagued by severe drowsiness. He really could not hold it anymore, until he finally closed and dropped his head on the table.

Luckily Arkana quickly raised his palm, so the Moon's forehead did not hit.

"Moon..?" Call Arkana, he shook the girl's shoulder slowly, but there was no response.

"Look..! She really fell asleep at a time like this?" Excited one of the reporters, he immediately took the moment with his camera.

All the reporters and spectators were focused on the Moon. Most of them blasphemed the Moon for being unprofessional. Camera flashes are unceasingly taking pictures, surely this news will be very splashy and embarrassing.

"Hurry and bring him back." Tell Mr. Tara to try to cover up the embarrassing incident.

Arkana immediately carried the Moon, bringing it backstage. "She slept or fainted?" muttered.

"saiss..! So screwed..! Messy everything..!" Grumpy Bima kicked the table.

While Dania, she smiled a little while persuading Bima not to get carried away by emotions.

"Calm down, don't get carried away, the reporters are still filming us." He knew Bima was a slightly temperamental person.

40 Minutes later...

HOOOAAAAHHHHHHHHHH......

The moon squirms, while evaporating widely. It seemed like he had released his drowsiness comfortably on top of that sofa.

As he opened his eyes, he was surrounded by teams including Bima and Arkana. They all stared wryly at the face of the Moon.

"You're really sleeping apparently? We thought you fainted." Say one of them.

The moon chuckled, slowly re-creating the event before it fell asleep just past his brain. He was at a fan meeting, and asleep at the table? It's really fucked up.

In front of him, Bima sat down with both arms piled up on her thighs.

click... click... The sound of the stainless match made everyone quiet, there would definitely be an explosion afterwards.

"You have a good dream..?" He looked at the face of the Moon with a sharp look.

"Let's go back to the office first, let's talk about this." Cut Arkana, he's about to move.

"Hey.. I'm asking you, are your dreams beautiful?" Bima repeated his words, with a sharper intonation.

"sorry.sorry.." The Moon bowed. He also did not know why he slept there. Really fell asleep like a fainted person.

"You screwed up the event we were planning until the hot head almost exploded. And just sorry?"

"WHY ARE YOU SO STUPID...!" He shouted right in front of the Moon's face while throwing the match against the wall.

Arkana pulled Bima's shoulder away, he did not like to see men shouting, let alone say rude to women.

"Male.. Keep up!"

"He ruined our reputation, and you're still defending him? Until now I'm even still wondering why Mr. Tara took this fool for cooperation!" He pointed at the face of the Moon with anger.

"So your words, speak in private. You're gonna embarrass him on purpose?"

"We've all been humiliated by him!" Ketus Bima once again. Making the Moon's tears slow.

"I said we'll talk later..!" Arkana gripped the collar of Bima's suit.

The crew who watched the tension did not dare to dwell. No one dared to denounce the words of Bima and Arkana.

"Why? You don't want your ex-boyfriend to be humiliated?!"

The moon raised her face when she heard that, didn't she hear wrong? Or Bima who spoke wrongly?

"What did you say?" During the Moon with a vibrating tone of voice, the guilt due to sleep instantly changed into curiosity.

Bima brushed off Arkana's hand, then stared at the Moon with great relief. "This man, he is the true Baraspati!"

"Mom...?" Arkana did not expect Bima to say that now, at a very inappropriate time and place.

"Damn all of you..!" He then moved from there with a red face.

The crew left the place, they did not understand what Bima said earlier.

"Is that what Bima said just now?" Ask the Moon in disbelief.

"Month.."

"My answer..!" Scream the Moon with tears.

Arkana was bowed down, he could not bear to tell all the truth. He has been playing with the Moon for 9 years, even now. He could not look at the girl's face.

"I'm sorry." That's all he can say. He is ready to accept any consequences for having done this.

"I'm sorry about the moon..." Arkana really regretted all this.

There is no saying in the mind of the Moon. He did not expect it to turn out that the person who was playing tricks on him, the one who made a trail of wounds in his heart was Arkana.

The moon took her bag, then left there without saying anything. He let go of the tears of disappointment after passing from Arkana.

Who was the person he loved all this time? Bima that he had been crying, he missed, even he hated. Though his first love was the figure of Arkana, the real feeling was in Arkana, but his body was deceived by Bima.

"You are so great to have played me, even to this second." Lirih Moon continued to walk, down the sidewalk with a view of the eyes of the forest inundated tears.

"Why are you playing me..?"

If that was only the case, then shouldn't they have been honest since the beginning of the meeting at the cafe that day? Why keep on playing?

-

Elsewhere, Bima drove her car to release the load. His jaws were clashing against each other hard. He regretted getting carried away with his emotions and said it there. How does Arkana and the Moon feel now?

He felt guilty that Arkana wasn't even ready for it. But on the other hand he felt relieved because he did not have to perform anymore in front of the Moon.

"If only he hadn't fallen asleep. None of this is going to happen... Shit..!" He was even upset with himself for not being able to maintain his patience.
