Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 34: The Decision


The moon woke up from his sleep, swollen eyes, lips were also swollen. He didn't even visit his mother tonight. He cried all night because he felt so stupid to have played with the two men.


"Pick cucumber, orange fragrance, home address, and my phone number. She knew it all, and she kept asking me if I slept at home. He knows everything about me, and I don't realize that. So stupid..!"


He fumbled while massaging his eyes to reduce swelling. But anyway he has to keep working. Especially today's last shoot.


The moon rose and encouraged itself. "Come on the Moon, you have to be professional. Let's just say this never happened..!"


...~~~...


The moon arrived at the office while bringing a bag of premium coffee, the best coffee in the cafe. He will give it to Mr. Tara as an apology for messing up yesterday's event.


tok.tokm.. The moon knocked on Mr. Tara's room.


"Now..." Exclaimed Mr. Tara who had just arrived there.


The moon came in, then bowed her body. "Good morning sir."


"Morning..." Mr. Tara concluded the question on his face.


"What does the Moon need?"


The moon approached, then placed the black bag on the table. "I'd like to apologize for yesterday sir. This is the best coffee in my cafe. I hope you accept this as my apology. I'm ready to receive a warning letter, or a pay cut is ready sir."


"fft... This is you," Mr. Tara held back his laughter.


"I admit yesterday's show was a mess. I also heard you were angry by Bima all-out. The public response is not so negative, they are even curious about your background. For this time I'm sorry, but don't repeat."


The moon was very relieved to hear that, its two eyes even instantly sparkled. "Thank you sir, thank you..."


"By the way, I don't drink coffee." Mr. Tara smiled broadly.


"Take home sir, for your son or wife." It's low-caffeine coffee, so it's safe when consumed by teenagers or mothers.


"I don't have a family."


"uhuh..?" Moon gulps, is it old like this has not family? Too bad.


"Then.., I bring the coffee again?"


"Please, just love the others."


The moon brought the black bag back out. If only he knew that Mr. Tara did not like coffee, he would have given another.


"Just love the others, this expensive coffee. Mending I bring it home again." The moon scratched the pouch while muttering.


Upon entering the study, he passed Arkana and Bima who had just arrived.


The moon ignored that, he just passed by as if he did not know the two annoying men.


"There's a meeting at 11." Bima said to the Moon, but the girl was indifferent.


"Month. You didn't hear me? Be professional as you say."


"I already know." Tighten the Moon without turning. He swore he would act like he never knew them.


--


Exactly at eleven noon, meet them in the meeting room to discuss the ending. In the novel, Moon composed the ending of the story to the satisfaction of the reader, but Mr. Tara decided to be given a last-minute plot that was very imprinted in the hearts of the audience.


"Lately the sad ending story is much loved, why not make a slightly touching scene?" Said Bima, he was ready to add a story if approved by Mr. Tara.


"Or the ending that hangs, there is a discontent of its own, but imprint. Such endings are also popular lately." Timpal Arkana, he also felt bland with the story of a cliche ending like this.


"True, a happy ending is everyone's dream." Arkana looked at her heart, her gaze containing many unspoken meanings.


"So happy ending?" Ask Mr. Tara to make sure, if many choose so. He will obey.


"Yes.." The Moon's voice did not take its deep gaze away from Arkana's face.


Bima who realized the meaning of that gaze could only sigh heavily. Has now her position as the first love of the Moon been eliminated? Is it still a bad memory for the moon?


"I love you..." Lirih Arkana, "we just end the dialogue with it" he added, then shifted the gaze from his former lover.


"Have you made the closing script?" Ask Mr. Tara on one of the creation teams.


"It's Sir." The head of the creator team rotated the closing script to the monitor screen.


It was written in capital letters there the names of the people who contributed. And the names of the brands that placed advertisements in the film.


"What is a CHAPTER?" Ask Arkana, why is the abbreviation so slovenly like that? Although the letters are decorated with bright colors, it still stands for slovenly things.


The head of the team smiled broadly, "this is your name. Milky, Arkana, Moon."


Hearing that Mr. Tara laughed crazily. "hahahhahaha... Why should BAB? It could be BBA, or ABB."


"You want to make people look at us more and more silly?!" Bima said staring cynically.


"Sir Tara laughed, why are you always so angry? I can tell you all right." The Moon Gerricks.


"People like you when you're in the hallucines are visiting." Ketus Bima did not accept.


The moon ignites Bima with both eyes, if he had a giant blender he would have made Bima into juice.


"What..?" Bima threw back an annoyed look.


"What..?!" The moon is closing its eyes.


"It's not a good time to weave mass stories, so forget your grudges and focus on our discussion." Cut Mr. Tara, yes he has heard that Moon and Bima used to date.


...~~...


This whole day feels like hell to the Moon. Those two shameless men really suck. None of them apologized. Shouldn't they give an explanation?


"Damn...!" He kicked the walls of the hospital corridor. He wanted to see his mother, but his mind was a mess. He did not want to show his sad face to his mother.


For that, in front of the mother's nursery door. The moon trains her facial muscles to look relaxed. He even practiced a big smile, as if everything was fine.


When I felt her smile was perfect. The moon opened the door, but at once the smile disappeared when he saw Bima and Arkana there.


"Month, come. There's something we want to talk about." Call Ayana to wave her hand.


The moon approached by dragging its steps. Couldn't he just rest a day of his brain from those two heartless men?


"What?" Tanya Moon was not curious, definitely about the lawsuit again. He believes Ayana must have been there to persuade her mother to continue the lawsuit.


"If you're here to persuade me and mom, go. Freebies.." After all, he and his mother are the same character, which is stubborn, difficult to persuade.


Saras took a breath, then tried to talk to the Moon. "Look, son, because this involves a lot of people. I decided to continue the lawsuit."


"WHAT...??!" The words of Bima, Arkana, and the Moon in unison.
