Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 5: Carnation Flowers

After a little pleasantry, Moon and Bima decided to have lunch at one of the cafes near the theme park.

The moon still blushed, while inhaling in the aroma of the Carnation bouquet given by her lover. Fake lovers, to be precise.

"You like it..?" bima asked while propping up her chin with her hand. He paid close attention to every gerik expression of the moon.

The moon nodded slowly, her innocent, sweet smile so softly visible.

"mm.., the flowers are beautiful. I didn't think you were so romantic."

"But.. Am I the only one who feels we're a little awkward?" he explained, making Bima's expression instantly change.

"really..? You feel that way? Wh why? Am I not comfortable speaking directly? Or do we just talk through the message as usual..?" bima replied jokingly, he deliberately made the atmosphere as warm as possible.

Moon chuckles a little for him, Bima is indeed a very cheerful figure. "What do you think of me? I hope you're not sorry for agreeing to meet."

"You.., it's no different at all, either on the app, or here. You are equally admirable." said Bima from speaking, he exerted his acting ability with totality today.

"Thank God." the Moon was relieved, seeing Bima's neat appearance, making her a little inferior earlier.

"What about me? Do you regret dating a guy like me?"

"I'm so grateful to have met a guy like you." The moon had her head on the shoulder of her fake lover. For so long he craved this, leaning on someone who had given him the spirit of life. But somehow, it does not feel as comfortable as when he tells a story through a chat message. Maybe because it was the first meeting.

Getting such treatment, Bima felt uncomfortable. Besides he had only first known the Moon, he had never been this close to women. He could only gently gulp his saliva, while holding a thumping feeling in the chest. Debaran that is not clear flow, either uncomfortable or whatever it is.

"Can we take a picture together..?" bima asked, he pulled out his cellphone which for the Moon was the latest type. Because he does not have a touch screen phone like that.

The moon nodded, he was very happy because Bima took this moment to make memories. Bima did that to send to Arkana.

Shortly after, their orders arrived. They both eat food while interacting like a pair of young people who are dating.

The awkwardness that the Moon felt slowly faded, he had started to freely tell stories and even joke with the foreign man next to him.

While Bima, he just offset the cheerful attitude of the Moon. It is quite exciting, but back again on the initial plan, Bima must immediately end the day very neatly.

From the place to eat, Bima and Moon wander around the park. Until it did not feel the sun began to lean, indicating it would soon set.

"We end it today..? Or do you want to add another day..?" bima said launching a flirtatious gaze, so that the Moon believes that Bima really enjoys today.

"haha.. To be honest I still miss you, it's not satisfied to meet a day after dating for almost two years." he said with a big smile,

"But we have to go home, see you later." he said farewell.

"mm, see you." Bima waved her hand, then turned towards the Bus stop. Not forgetting that she gave a very warm smile.

"When you get home, tell me.."

"Yes.." nods Bima, he even floated a fake kiss as he continued walking.

The moon increasingly smiled wrong behavior there, he felt his lover was very sweet. He stood there until the moment Bima boarded the Bus. He and Bima continued to exchange views with deep eyes. From inside the Bus, Bima waved his hand, until the Bus disappeared from the sight of the Moon.

"hehhh...! What am I doing today? Because of that son of the devil I have to lie to someone! aiiss...! I should have just refused.!" his grunts were upset, but he sent a picture of himself and the Moon at the meal to Arkana.

[wah.. She is so sweet, ] Arkana wrote with a classic emoticon.

[I'll delete your Account now.] Reply Bima, he even included a lot of exclamation marks for Arkana.

Across the street, Arkana breathed a heavy sigh. His relationship and the Moon will completely end today, he loved the Moon very much before even seeing what her face looked like, and now, as he looks at the face of the Moon through the photos, he falls in love once again. His chest thumped, pounding an unfulfilled longing. If only his family were not in trouble, surely he and Moon could continue this love story.

[Alright, thank you for your help today. I'm going to deactivate my phone for the next few hours, because my plane is leaving. Once again thank you, I will repay you when I return to Indonesia later.]

[Okay.., be careful.] reply Bima.

He immediately deleted Arkana's social media accounts. He completely erases it without a trace, erasing the love story of two hearts through which he ends.

Back on the Moon who was still watching the bright blue bus that was getting away from his sight. There was a very strange sense of emptiness in his heart. He felt sorry for not asking for a little longer to meet.

"ahh, I have. Tomorrow there is still time, after all we are still dating now, there will be plenty of time to meet." he muttered to himself.

He went out of the garden with jovial footsteps, his hands clutched tightly against the white Carnation bouquet of the fake lover. The smile on his face was so bright, today it was so nice.

After a few minutes of walking, the moon arrived at his house. Housing complex is quite good, which is inhabited by successful business people and respected people.

"You're home yet?" greet the mother who is sorting out the court file in the front room.

"mm.., will the mother hear?" The moon approached her and sat down next to her.

"Yes, you want to see mom again.. hey..? where did you get those flowers?!" the woman named Saras turned her head when she saw the flower on her daughter's deck.

"From someone, he's an old acquaintance of mine." replied Moon blushed, he knew for sure his mother understood the meaning of the bouquet.

"ee... Did you attend the funeral?" asked Saras stammered, why in a funeral bouquet in a dress that beautiful?

"Why do you think that? It was everyone who brought the flowers out of the tomb." timpal Moon raised his lips.

"Not all, but this flower. It's a white carnation, a flower that symbolizes the expression of mourning especially for the dead."

"WHAT..?!" Moon reflex threw the bouquet on the table. He believed his mother's words that understood the flowers.

Saras picked up the bouquet that his daughter threw, while watching the packaging that was like a bouquet for dating people.

"Who gave this to you?" if indeed Moon's lover, he will prank the man until the penet, he may give funeral flowers for his daughter.

"There is a person, maybe he does not know that flowers have different meanings. I also consider all flowers the same as hehehe.." yes, surely Bima did not know that the flower has a dark meaning. He understood, the most important thing is not the flowers. Except for the efforts of Bima who already wanted to meet him.

The moon sent a message to Bima to ask if she had reached her home. But the name of the user on social media 'Baraspati' suddenly disappeared, which left only an old chat room without a username. Because they do not understand, the Moon thinks maybe the application is currently in error. He did not realize that the account no longer existed.

[You've arrived?] write the Moon, but the message is not sent.

For the first time, he realized that the 'Baraspati' account was in a state of inactivity.
