Attracted By The Moon
Episode 49: Ask for Restu

"What are you doing..?" Bima asked, he just returned from the cafeteria and heard the boisterous people arguing.

"We're on..." Arkana paused for a moment,

"I accompanied the Moon to dry her clothes. But Mr. Tara misunderstood." Arkana answered very differently than before.

Mr. Tara was astonished, but earlier Arkana was very thin, why now even lie.

Mr. Tara faced Bima, "You know they want to get married?"

"uhuh..?" Bima was surprised, but he held back the expression on his face. "Already sir," Sahut lied, clearly visible in both eyes a sense of unending giddiness.

At his desk, Arkana squeezes a pen. He knows how Bima feels now. Removing a loved one is not easy.

Bima smiled, "So why do you misunderstand? They're getting married, and Arkana and the Moon..."

"You know what they did just now? They're ber...AAKKK!" Mr. Tara squealed, as one of his legs was stepped on by the Moon.

"Sorry sir, unintentionally ..." He lowered his head while grumbling. How dare Mr. Tara spread disgrace.

Having examined what the debate was, Bima came out of the Arkana room with a grim face.

Married, he and Moon almost got married in the subconscious, but failed due to awakening. Perhaps this was his meaning, he failed to gain the heart of the Moon.

Bima violently opened the lid of the stainless match, he headed to the roof top to smoke for a while.

"Why are you sad? There are a lot of women waiting to be your lover. But you're in love with a girl, who wasn't yours from the start." Bima spoke to herself, sounding like a plunge indeed.

Behind her, Dania was quietly following, as she saw her way to the roof top earlier. Seeing the look on Bima's face that looked upset, Dania thought Bima must need someone to talk to.

"Coffee..?" Dania attached a can of instant coffee, to Bima's arm.

Bima jumped when getting the cold sensation of the can. "You're following me..?"

"No, I also intend to come here earlier. I didn't think we'd meet." Dania tidied her hair, while smiling sweetly at Bima.

Bima raised one eyebrow, "with two cans of coffee?"

Dania was speechless, she bit her lips lightly while looking awkwardly.

"Do you still like me?" Ask Bima spontaneously.

Surely Dania felt nervous, as well as pounding. "You..know that?" For a moment he thought, did the Moon tell him?

Bima opened the instant coffee, then downed it until it ran out. In just one gulp.

"You look at me very deeply. As I was talking, your eyes sparkled staring at me. As I passed through your room, you also always looked at me silently from your mirror. You also come to my house often. Isn't that pretty obvious, huh,?" Bima shone a spotlight on Dania from the corner of her eye.

"And after all that, you keep quiet?" Undeniably, he was happy. Because it turns out Bima realized that. But what is the reason why Bima remains silent?

"I think it's time,.." Bima took a breath for a moment, he thought Dania would stop if ignored, but it seemed that her love for him was huge.

Both eyes of Dania sparkled, he guessed this is the time, this is the time, he will get a reply feeling from Bima.

"Stop." Bima said staring flat.

The expression of Dania's flowering face, turned moody. "k..why..? I love you Bima."

Bima smiled blandly, he used to think it was okay if he let Dania continue to store feelings. But now he knows what it feels like, it is better to say NO as soon as possible, than to let someone continue to be entangled, without certainty.

"Dania, unrequited love is painful. But forcing someone to love us, it hurts more."

"Can't you just see me once?" Pinta Dania with a pushy look.

"I've seen you often enough. So today I decided, stop." Bima patted Dania's shoulder gently, then left from there.

Looks Dania's two eyes glazed, rejection before the revelation. I must admit the pain was terrible. For three years he harbored feelings, but was thrown out in just a few seconds.

"You are heartless!" Ketusnya while rubbing rough water droplets that drip on the cheeks.

...~~...

The Cafe Bulb...

"What's up..? You just want to waste our time?" Seloroh Vidia, his unremarkable Moon is acting like that.

"Be careful if you prank us." Timpal Saras, they've been sitting there for half an hour. But the Moon never spoke, what was it.

The moon looked at his watch. He waited for Arkana to arrive, and before long, a black car arrived.

"That's it.." Excited Moon, he was nervous and enthusiastic.

The moon picked up Arkana, holding her to sit in a chair.

Seeing that, Saras widened his eyes. "You want to tell me you're dating?" he said while squinting his eyes.

"Goddessa..! the office is really there. I've expected one of you to be enamored with the charm of the Moon." Vidia had guessed, between Bima and Arkana would definitely fall for the lazy girl.

"I'm here, wanting to ask my aunt's blessing to marry Moon."

Vidia and Saras turn at the same time. "What..?"

"You seriously want to marry her..?" Show Vidia to the Moon.

"Seriously sis.." Arkana answered with confidence.

"This fast..? You're not pregnant first, are you Moon?!" Saras instead accused his daughter of using the tip of a straw.

"No..! It's mom.." The Moon without realizing.

Saras dropped the straw he was holding, the tip of his hand even shook. How could the Moon know that.

"Aunty..?" Call Arkana, break Saras' daydream.

"Yes..?" Saras smiled stiffly.

"Hows it? Does aunt approve of my intentions?"

"When exactly? Do your parents agree?"

"Next month, my mother agreed. The day after tomorrow I'm going to California to bring mom here."

Saras smiled widely, of course he was very happy. Finally the only princess of his puppet was betrothed by a handsome and well-established man. Moreover, the man loved the Moon since the colonial era.

"Tante is very approving, although aunt still can not believe fully with this.." His tears fell slowly, and so did Vidia, he looked down at the ducks who were about to get a new shelter.

"Hopefully you can keep the Moon, you can be the Moon's shelter. Be the only one who's always on the side of the moon, because auntie failed to do that." Her crying was unstoppable again.

The moon immediately embraced the mother, the sense of haru also flowed through his mind. Although his mother was never a place to live, the Moon loved his mother very much. Because without him, he would not be able to know this beautiful world.

"Come here, my son-in-law hahaha..." Saras invites Arkana to embrace together.

...~~...

"aah, so.. was it just a misunderstanding?" Ayana looked at the child.

Arkana and Bima tell us everything, how the Moon was connected to Arkana. They also explain that Saras just misunderstood.

"So when did you go to California?" Ask Ayana again, she had heard about the marriage from Arkana herself.

"Lusa aunty..," replied Arkana slowly.

Plaque..!

Suddenly Bima hit his shoulder, "Come on. Why are you so moody? Show the world that you're happy.."

"What about you? Are you happy..?" The shade of Arkana's face enveloped her happy feeling, while the carefree face of Bima, covered a pile of wounds.

"I'm very happy... You know for yourself, don't you think millions of women out there want my good looks?" Bima looked up her chin, posing narcissistic. His good looks are very plenary.

But Ayana shuddered with goosebumps at her son's narcissistic nature, when it dropped from him.

Arkana hugged her best friend. He knew Bima was hiding a wound. How he felt so guilty, Bima has helped him a lot, but he did not even give the opportunity for Bima to be happy.
