Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 36: The Old Manuscript

Filming the last scene has been completed, now the illusory Prince team is eating together while discussing the release date of the film.

"So you've set the launch date?" ask Bima.

"Special airing is set for the 07th of next month." Mr. Tara replied, the special will only sell tickets on a limited basis. (Premiere Gala)

As a form of appreciation, the screening will be watched directly by the main cast artist, the core team, and some lucky viewers to get the limited tickets.

"Then for a full premiere date, it will be set for March 23." Imbuh Mr. Tara.

"well, this is the fastest slot ever." One of the crew.

To get a show schedule, it usually takes a short time. They even got a queue for one year, due to the number of films that will be released.

"23 March? Isn't that his birthday?" Appointing Bima to the Moon, the girl wearing the glasses looked up. He forgot his birthday when.

Mr. Tara was astonished, "really? I don't know that, Arkana proposed the date."

From behind the frame of his glasses, the view of the Moon turned to Arkana.

"wahh, is this some kind of birthday present?" Chirps Dania who had just been silent listening. Again the girl received special treatment. He really does not like the look of the Moon's face as deliberately looking for attention.

There is no word spoken from Arkana, he does not argue, nor does he agree with the words of Dania.

After all the discussion was over, they left the room. And so did the Moon, and he stood there. But Bima held him back.

"Moon, I want to talk to you."

Bima locked the door of the room, so that no one heard their conversation.

"What?" Sahut Moon flat.

"I want to apologize,"

The moon looked straight at the man, the man she had thought was her first love.

"Forget it, as I said, it's a very long time ago. Although I admit I was disappointed because of the lie, but I do not want to drag on in this situation. I'll assume it never happened."

"You're disappointed that it wasn't me?" Cut Bima with both sparkling eyes, he even threw a nosy glance.

"That's my biggest disappointment, if only I knew from the beginning that you were just pretending to be my girlfriend. I wouldn't think that our reunion is karma."

Bima approached a few steps, eroding the distance until only 50 cent left between them.

"From now on, I'll behave as I please."

"Don't you like that all this time?" Tukas Bulan tried to hold his breath, he did not want to be excessive. His heart was racing. He was nervous because he was never that close to a man.

"No, I've been acting like I know you all along. Because I'm an ex-lover to you. So don't talk about our fake relationship anymore. If you want, you can talk about our childhood story."

The moon grinned, there was nothing beautiful about that childhood story.

"You mean the discussion of how you can be canned? Can you tell me that? I'm really curious where it came from."

"Maybe, I'd rather discuss that shameful thing. Because at least that's the real thing between us." Bima smiled smirk. He left the moon there.

"cch.. What the fuck?" Curse the Moon while stroking the chest, so that his breath is calmer.

Saras' condition is recovering. Now he can take off his leg. Although not yet able to walk perfectly, at least now he can move the legs.

"Darling, are you sure you want to go home now? Your condition has not recovered, even the doctor recommends that you stay here for another week." Raul seems very worried, he helps Saras pack his things.

Saras nodded with a gentle smile. "Surely, I'm tired of being in this room all the time. I miss our house..."

"But your condition has not recovered, you still need Doctor's care. Or ask Moon to come home, so someone can help you. I won't be able 24 hours to accompany you."

"I want to, too, but you know our son is very stubborn."

"You try to persuade him, tell him you need his help at home."

Saras was silent, Moon is not a child who does not care for his parents. Without being asked, he certainly cares about her, especially when circumstances like this.

"I'm actually very curious, what makes him not want to go home."

Raul was expressionless, he just stared at the middle-aged woman flatly. "Maybe he's not comfortable with me."

"Don't he know you're his stepfather?" Guess Saras squinted his eyes, but you know where? Why didn't the Moon ask if he knew it.

"If he knew why? You think he left because of that? He's just sick of me because I'm too constrained, you know I love him so much. So maybe he's fed up with my protective attitude."

"Right.., I'm lucky to have a guy like you. Who kindly accepts my shortcomings." Saras put his head on the husband's shoulder.

Raul rubbed Saras' hair slowly, now his feelings for the woman slowly faded. The love that used to stir somehow disappeared where. The love that he once gave unconditionally, is now lost because he did not get a reply.

He knew Saras still loved his former lover very much. The love is still stored clearly in a diary book. In the book, Raul finds out that he has no place in Saras' heart. He is just a living partner.

"Mother called me?" Ask Moon, when he just arrived in Mr. Tara's room.

"I am very satisfied with your work. Your ideas are creative and your writing is easy to understand." Mr. Tara picked up a pile of papers on the table.

"I'd like to offer you your position as a full-time writer at this company. And this is an old unresolved script, the story is quite interesting. Can you continue the story?" Mr. Tara handed the paper to the Moon.

Fragile, it was a script that the other day he saw. "This is Bima's script?"

"No, Arkana wrote that."

"aahh, that's right.." Moon almost forgot that her ex-boyfriend was Arkana.

BRAAK...!

Suddenly Arkana opened the door very rudely. His breathing was stingy, he immediately ran when getting an order from Mr. Tara, to continue the script titled Fragile with the Moon.

"Sir..! No, it's just an old script and I've forgotten the story." He looked panicked, let alone seeing the Moon holding the script. He thought the Moon did not know the contents of the manuscript.

"Then I told you two to work on it again. If you review it from the beginning, I'm sure I'll remember the plot, a lot of new ideas will emerge. And I want it to be a drama, not a movie. Because we have an empty slot after our play ends."

"How's Moon? You agree, right?" Ask Mr. Tara, he also wants to provide an opportunity for talented writers like the Moon.
