Behind the Loss of the Moon
Part 12 [Warungs]

"Gio, Adek Brother, the most handsome in the world," I said.

"What?" Gio, answer flatly. His eyes were still focused on PeeS's screen, but he seemed to have caught my point.

"Buyin ketchup dong to the stall, you'll be diligent, good boy, handsome again," again I seduce him.

"No way, Gio is busy again" he said, staying focused on PeeS.

"Busy what? you were playing PeeS, too" I protested.

"Yes, that, Gio is busy playing PeeS, just step up and level up again, responsibility," indifferently, Gio.

"Gem, where's the soy sauce? I want to, take it now!" Shouts, Mama from the kitchen.

"Awhile Ma, this is Gemi, just about to leave" I said, shouting. Turns out to be true, the mother and the child were always compact.

If Mama, has shouted like that then the order must be implemented immediately, there is no bargaining let alone any delay. Half annoyed with Gio, I finally went to the stall. I was in vain just now to seduce Gio, with all the handsome frills.

"This is Buk money" I said, handing over the green money.

"Thank you, Neng," said the shop's mother, giving me the soy sauce I bought.

"Ekh, this is Gemitang, Bu Mayang's son, huh?" one of the mothers standing next to me asked.

"Yes, Buk" I said, politely.

"Lha, it's big now! though only yesterday it felt like Mom, look at you as a baby. Then, Mother also never saw you cry fit to school TeKa, you do not want to go to school because penge play at home, now it's big," said, Mother was full of enthusiasm.

I smiled faintly, embarrassed as well if my disgrace as a child was all dismantled.

"Mother was still dying, when you were your baby in ..." Saying, The mother hung.

I glanced at the stall owner's mother, she was seen flashing a few times.

"... taken to posyandu, keep coming home you cry very fast because just immunized," said the mother with a thin smile.

Again I can only smile. Curiosity also just appeared, when I saw the shop owner's mother blink a few words, as if telling Mother, who spoke to be quiet. I'm sure what Mom said was different from what she wanted to say before.

"Gemi, first up Buk. Excuse me," my pamit.

My steps were not really far when I heard the conversation from the stall where I bought soy sauce.

"Deg-degan I Buk, I almost slipped earlier," I know the voice came from Mother, who asked me.

"It's a good thing that I blinked earlier you," said Mother, the owner of the stall.

"I'm the Moon's keinget, Buk. I'm the same as that kid, '" said the mother who asked.

"Hardens, he no longer lives with his father, may he be all right," said the mother who asked.

"I also pray that he is in a place that makes him happy, like the child," said the shop's mother.

Along the way to the house, I kept thinking about the shop owner's chat earlier. What does it mean, Brother Moon, treated differently? Thought.

All this time it was only me who was always the champion of the class, but it was also because I got a lot of tutoring, while Kak Bulan, not at all. I sometimes envy Kak Bulan, because Kak Bulan, do not need to cape to take lessons every day.

For Gio, he was not very good at the academy either, but he was good at sports. Gio, often wins sports races in many branches, but most often is basketball and volleyball, because he really likes both sports.

Kak Bulan, indeed not very good at the academy, not too good at sports, but that does not mean it can be a reason for Kak Bulan, treated differently, but, but, Kak Bulan was very good at cooking, I once ate Kak Bulan's cooking, and it was really good, besides Kak Bulan, also good at making cakes. During this time, I never saw Mama, or Papa was rude to Kak Bulan, only because Kak Bulan, who had a quiet nature so he rarely chatted or joked with Mama, just because Kak Bulan, and Papa, or with his sisters. Not like I'm sticky with Mama, or Gio, who is often one stronghold with, Papa.

Mother, the owner of the stall was clearly wrong, he was just an outsider who had no idea what my family was like, but he could easily make assumptions without, evidence.

If only Kirana, who still lives here, maybe I can make it one of the clues to find out the real reason behind Kak Bulan's disappearance. Unfortunately, Kak Kirana is in college in Aceh, and I don't know what her cell phone number is either.

"Well, where are you from Gemi, anyway? Mama, wait for you from earlier you know," said, Mama as soon as I get home.

"Sorry, Ma. Earlier, Gemi was taught to talk to the Mothers in the stall first," I said.

Mama, who was about to go to the kitchen brought the soy sauce I bought back turned around. "What did they say, you?" ask, Mama.

I can catch the worried look on Mama's face, but I don't know what for. "That's it, the pleasant news, Ma." Me, there's no way the story about the chat I heard earlier.

Mama, step closer to me. "Dengerin Mama, yes Gem. You, don't trust the outsiders too much, they don't know anything about us" said Mama.

I nodded, though still confused as to why Mama, spoke like that.

"Yaudah, you go back to that room! continue studying, continue to be with Gio, have dinner, Mama want to continue cooking first, while waiting for Papa, go home." Again, I just nodded, Mama.

Lately, Papa, he's been coming home a lot of nights. The work is a lot he said, but I would like to ask about the address of the campus Kak Bulan, I will tell you about me who saw Kak Bulan, the other day. Hopefully Papa will be honest and not cover up the facts anymore. I hope that.

I followed Mama's instructions, to go back to the room, but instead of studying I actually opened a special journal that I prepared to record the instructions about the departure of the Moon Legs, but instead of studying, I opened a special journal that I prepared to record instructions about the passing of the Moon Legs, and I think the Mother-Mother chat at the stall could be a putnote for my note. I don't know if it's useful or not, but everything related to Kak Bulan, I have to collect the records. Hopefully it can be a clue for me.
