Behind the Loss of the Moon
Part 18 (Frosted photo)

As usual after dinner I was in charge of helping Mama, cleaning up the dirty dishes and the food that was left, then washing the dirty dishes.

"Ma?"

In response, Mama, just cleared her throat without looking.

I'm speechless. Guessing whether my meeting with Kak Bulan, I should tell, Mama.

"Why?" this time Mama, completely stared at me who was still not silent.

"Mama's tupperware bottle, misses class. Earlier, Gemi forgot to enter the bag after being brought to the sport on the field." After rethink, I will not tell Mama, until at least I know where to stay, Kak Bulan.

"Gem, ko you can be careless anyway, what if someone tries? that'll be your favorite tupperware, next time if you bring a drink with a regular drinking place, do not use tupperware," I, nodding just say all the words, Mama. When it comes to 'his favorite child' I can only resign.

Luckily I remember the tupperware that was left behind, so Mama, didn't suspect me.

"Gem, come here for a second!" papa's voice, from the back garden, rang out to the kitchen.

"Father manggi tuh," said Mama.

I quickly rinsed my wet hands while washing dishes, then dried them with a napkin next to the sink.

"What's up, Pah?" my many.

"Please take Papa's flash, which is red in drawer number two in Papa's office, yes Gem," Papa said.

I, nodding.then immediately to the second floor of the place where Papa, used to work. Papa's workspace, right next to Kak Bulan's room, which had been empty.

Papa's workspace, never locked, but even so Mama, always warned us not to enter the room carelessly. "It must be, there is permission, or you are told Papa, can just come in," said Mamah, three years ago when I was about to go into Papa's study, to borrow a leptop. The rule also applies to Mama, there must be permission Papa, new Mama, can go inside. for cleaning even though done by Papa, alone.

Mama said, although we are family and should be open to each other, but we are also welcome to have each other's privacy because it's an individual right, including the right to privacy of the workspace, Papa. Best place for Papa, look.

It's been about ten minutes I've been looking for the flash that Papa mentioned, but the results are nil. In fact, I've opened some drawers, but still can't see you.

My netraku scattered around, afraid if there is a missed part of the jamahankun. My net, locked in the wooden cabinet behind Papa's desk, a place I haven't been looking for, but unfortunately it's locked, and I don't know where Papa is, putting the keys.

Back netraku focus on one thing on the top of the closet, all the small green boxes.

I managed to get the box on my tiptoes because the wooden cabinet was quite tall.

Thank goodness it was just a box. So, I don't need any keys to open that box.

Inside were several sheets of letters that had been blurry, it seemed like they had been long enough that I could not read what they were, a medium-sized brown envelope, and, when it was opened it turned out there was some money in it, but that was not what caught my attention, but rather an opaque photograph. I really can't see who the owner of the face in this photo, because in addition to blurry it seems like this photo has also been squeezed, as evidenced by its unflinching shape.

Although I could not recognize the owner of the face in the photo, I knew there were three people in the photo, one adult male, one toddler, and one child, and an adult woman wearing a dress. Hurry I take pictures, blurry photos with my phone camera, just in case this photo will come in handy.

Right after tidying up the contents of that green box, Papa's watsapp message, surprised me. Awakening me, about the main purpose I'm here for.

"Gem, how's the flash? haven't you met yet?" message from, Papa.

"Yet, Pa. Gemi, still alive," I replied.

"I'm sorry, Gemi Pa, because it's too presumptuous to open an item that doesn't have Gemi," I said, in my heart and then put the box back to its place.

***

thankfully, the flash was finally found. It turned out that the flash was under Papa's desk, so I found it hard to find it.

"Gemi, go to the room first Pa, want to rest," I said, Papa nodded.

Relieved, because Papa, did not ask me why long ago found the flash.

At first I went to the room intending to rest, but until the room instead I was shadowed with the person in the blurry photo. If, the person in the blurry photo is not the person who is important to Papa, where maybe Papa, would want to save the outdated photo.

"Why are there so many secrets in this family?" my monologue.

I opened my phone, intending to contact Safa, so hopefully the boy hasn't slept.

"Safa, have you slept yet?" write to Safa, via the green messaging app.

It wasn't until two minutes, Safa had already replied to my message. "Yet. I'm watching Drakor again, why? tumben elo, chat me night-night gini."

I pressed the phone icon, if I use a message it will be very long. "Hallo, Safa?" sapaku, preempt.

"Yes, what's up Zur?" tanya, Safa's over there.

"Gue, want to tell the same story elo" I said, hesitating.

"What story?" Safa, I'm ready to listen to you.

"Hallo, Zura? ko, even diem. He said, you want a story," Safa, roused me from the daydream just now.

"Emm ..., "I still hesitate to tell you about that blurry photo.

"... about, this afternoon. About, I need to say no yes same nyokap-bokap if I meet Kak, Moon?" finally the question came out.

"So much elo, anyway .. but, my advice is not to. Elo, meet Kak Bulan'kan when he again works at the cafe, if the parents of elo, know they may ban Kak Bulan, make another job at the cafe," replied, Safa in the other place.

"Elo, really. Surely my parents do not know that Kak Bulan, work in kaffe. Just, What is the reason Kak Bulan, working in a cafe? all this time it must be Papa, a routine transfer of money to Kak Bulan," I, trying to guess what things make Kak Bulan, to have to work in a cafe.

"If it is, I don't know Zur" answered Safa.

"Gue, hang up? thanks for the elo, I want to talk to you, ", I said. It's not good either, because I'm interrupting the break, Safa.

"Just relax Zur time, we'll have a long time ago cementan, elo I, consider sodara himself times," said Safa then chuckled softly.

\*\*\*

Safa, looking at the screen of her dead phone, felt guilty to her mother, for not following her mother's advice, for not meddling in the matter, Zura. Safa, pity to see Zura, who constantly surrounded the question of the reason for the departure of Kak Bulan.

Actually, Safa's reason, suggested Zura, not to tell their meeting with the Moon, to Zura's parents, was because if Zura's parents, knew for sure they would close Zura's gap, to meet, to meet, The Moon's. Although not sure it will happen, but Safa, must be aware of the possibilities that occur.
