Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 6: Remember?

The moon is still staring at her phone, hoping for a reply. He is still thinking positively, maybe his girlfriend runs out of battery, or his phone is no signal. Anyway, he continued to think positively, it did not cross his mind at all that he was actually lying.

He fell asleep with his cell phone in his hand, hoping for a highly anticipated reply. But unfortunately, until the morning his phone did not ring. The message that the Moon sent was also not read, the account was completely disabled since their meeting yesterday.

Day after day, Moon realized she had been dumped after the first meeting. Can not be denied he cried when he remembered the sweet treatment of Bima which turned out to be a lie. Attention, gaze, and flowers. Everybody lies.

The moon gazed at itself in front of the mirror, what was the physicality that made Bima disappear just like that amid the warmth of their relationship? Though before their relationship was very sweet and warm, then why after meeting her lover even disappeared without news?

Bad, of course. Moreover, the man was the only person who had been willing to listen to the story of his life. The man very patiently encouraged her, made her days colorful, made her sure that in this world there were still many beautiful things.

Year after year passed, ever since that incident. The moon does not want to open its heart anymore. For years he wondered to himself, what was wrong until Bima appeared to him. Then the flower that symbolizes suffering, did Bima deliberately give it?

Since then, the Moon has never paid attention to any kind of man who approached her. He's really fed up with men's sweet mouths, they're just good at talking without proof. Throw sweet words at will, then throw away when in boredom. He hates men with such sweet mouths.

A few years later, Moon learned that Bima had become a famous director. Being rich, famous even in the likes of many people. The moon felt, indeed deserved to be left behind at that time. Because of their achievements and position they are very different classes.

*flashback done...

Without a man, without the frills of love. The Moon's life so far is peaceful sentosa. It's just that his appearance is very messy. He no longer cares about his appearance.

As of today, Vidia had even told her to change into a more feminine and formal outfit, but the Moon did not heed Vidia's advice.

Loose black pants, black shirts whose arms are rolled up to the elbows, then hair that is only on the mops with the help of chopsticks. He did not even wear makeup, washing his face was enough for him.

He stood by the performance, in front of two famous directors who invited him to work together. But how surprised he was when he found out who had come to see him.

"Mom..?" he looked with wide eyes, really could not believe he was found again with the man.

While Arkana, he was very shocked to see who the woman in front of him was. Even though he had only seen the Moon in photographs, he still knew the face of his ex-girlfriend.

Arkana gulped in her saliva, nervous and cold hot even though the Moon was not looking at her.

"You must be my fan." said Bima confidently.

"ssth...!" whispered Arkana while pulling Bima's elbow.

Then Arkana showed her his cell phone, saying that the girl in front of them was Moon, the one they lied to nine years ago about dating.

Bima was surprised to see that, he wondered why Arkana recognized the face of the girl when they had never met. Then he observed the face of the Moon from a distance, if in thought, it was similar to the Moon that used to be. But this one's a little muddy.

Bima and Arkana thought the same thing, what if the Moon went berserk because it was dumped? Or what if the Moon doused them with drinking water like the ones in the movies? Even worse, they imagined what if the Moon cried and begged to turn back, while outside the Cafe many people recorded their presence there as famous directors.

"Please sit down" said the Moon.

"Look.., We're going to get to the point to talk about the story you're making" Arkana said venturing out, staring at the Moon's face with a beating heart as the horse was running.

"Is our cafe too hot?" tanya Moon cut.

"No way, good, the temperature is right." said Bima laughed blandly.

"But why are you two sweating?"

"Sister, check our AC." exclaimed the Moon to Vidia who was eavesdropping on the conversation from behind the wall.

"Yes..." Vidia responded with a cry.

Under the table, Arkana and Bima's legs are clumsy. They are clumsy and confused, but it is good that the Moon does not talk about the mass.

"May I ask why a famous director like you guys glanced at the story I made? Though the story I made it only has a reader of no less than 80 thousand." said Moon held back nervously, eagerly he pinched himself to make sure that this was not a dream.

Bima folded his legs, he brushed off all the nervousness. It's a job, not a feeling.

"We were in the production house of Bumantara film. A great label that always lifts stories based on the power of the story in a piece. Our CEO, Mr. Tara has always been able to see great opportunities behind stories that may not have been many fans. He has also raised many names of writers who have never received attention before. And this time, Mr. Tara chose your story, after we read also your story is very interesting. And we intend to publish the story you wrote into a film."

"What requirements should I follow? Am I still allowed to update the last 5 chapters?" ask the Moon further. The story he created was designed for up to 50 episodes. He just published the last 5 episodes.

"Of course, it's good to attract the attention of readers, especially if you tell them that the story will be filmed soon. However you cannot contract that story on the Platform. We have also researched the Platfrom that you are facing, there is no need for payment and permission from their side because your story has not been contracted."

"Then I just need to sign a contract with you guys right?"

"We will invite you to work together until the filming is complete. Even if we are famous directors, the life of the story remains with you. So only you can determine how the direction of dialogue and improvisation of the actors will be."

The moon nodded small, he understood the terms and conditions of Bima. But he did not expect that he would also be involved with the making of the film as a writer.

"Hows it? If you agree, come to our office tomorrow morning. We'll discuss the rest right there." added Bima.

"alright.. But, you..? Is there nothing you want to say?" The moon rounded the gaze of Arkana who had just looked at him, without him noticing.

"I..?" Arkana answered informally, somehow his brain reflexed to feel that he and the Moon were still in close contact.

"Tomorrow just go up to the 7th floor, we'll excuse us first" said Bima broke Arkana's confusion. He knew that his best friend was afraid of being discovered. That's why he immediately went from there.
