Between Love and Corona
Ring on Sweet Finger

Hearing Surya's remark reminding her that the two were more than just dating, the Moon recalled a ring that was coiled around her ring finger.

Of course the diamond-studded ring is not just a jewelry, in it implied love and struggle Moon and Surya in building a relationship until finally they are engaged.

His engagement ring with Surya took place a few months ago before the Surya family finally came to propose to the Moon.

...🌸🌸🌸...

Jakarta, October 2018

Today the Moon family seems busy preparing for the arrival of the Surya family who came and wanted to hold a fiancee with their only daughter, the Moon.

Of course, the Moon family welcomed the arrival of the Surya family. Moreover, both the Moon family and the Surya family have both known that the Moon and Surya are both in love since High School.

At first the family also just thought that maybe the love of monkeys, or the love of teenagers. They really don't think that the Moon and Surya can have a relationship for years.

That afternoon, the Moon was preparing to wear a pink kebaya and a long batik skirt. The long-haired ayu girl, just polishing her own face. Inside his room, the Moon was happy because the relationship with Surya rose to a more serious stage.

After the adhan Magrib, Surya began to come with his parents, his older sister, and the guardian of the citizens who are the Chairman of RT and RW.

"Father Hartono, we're here to tie the Moon, son of the Father. Given the relationship between the two has been going on for a long time since they were in High School until now. So, Surya came here to be engaged to the daughter of the Father that is the Moon" said Mr. Sasongko, Surya's parents.

Mr. Hartono as Moon's parents also received good intentions the arrival of Surya's parents at that time. "Thank you Mr. Sasongko and the family who have been sent here. I gladly bless the betrothal relationship between my only daughter Maheswari's Moon and Surya."

After being suave and a few words from his parents, Moon was picked up by his mother to get out of the room. At once meet Surya.

How two people who love each other throw a smile at each other. Both eyes were filled with affection.

The moon stands before Surya. Afterwards, Surya's mother handed Surya a gold ring. The man slowly opened the red ring box, then picked it up.

"Moon, this ring as a sign that our relationship has gotten more serious. This ring as proof that my love for you will never end like this ring. Moon, will you accept this ring and get engaged to me?" surya said with such sincerity.

With all the feelings of haru at once happy, Surya pinned a ring on the Moon's ring finger. When finished, it was the Moon's turn to take the other ring and pin it on Surya's ring finger.

The two families who attended also looked so happy. Surya is happy finally his first love when High School has now switched status to be his fiancee.

"You're happy Moon?" surya asked while whispering slightly softly to the Moon which that night looked so beautiful in Surya's eyes.

The girl wearing the pink kebaya nodded her head. "I'm definitely happy, Surya. Thank you." said the girl with a smile.

Surya was smiling too. "Remember this ring on our ring finger, the Moon. If one day I have to be away from you, this ring is a sign that my feelings for you will never break like our engagement ring. Our feelings will always converge, there is no end to it like this ring."

Flashback off

...🌸🌸🌸...

With the phone still attached to his ear, Moon observed the engagement ring still coiled beautifully on his ring finger. His thumb moves the ring on the ring finger, so that the ring rotates right and left.

"I will always remember our engagement ring Surya. However, I did not expect that in the end you would leave me this far. Jogjakarta - Makassar is very far away. We are not only different islands, but also different times" Moon said seriously.

In Makassar, Surya also stared fixed engagement ring which is also circular on his ring finger. "I will repeat my words once more to the Moon that my love for you is like this ring that will never end. This ring is a symbol of our love and struggle all along. Please don't give up the Moon, remember how many years we spent together. I really am the Moon."

"Hmm, yes .. alright, but better now don't promise anything, Surya. We just do what we can, as much as we can. It's all because we're both so different. I'm honestly disappointed Surya, you've never involved me for anything in your life. If my position is so important to your heart, why are you always so alone? From the beginning we dated when you always spent the holidays in Jakarta, the CPNS test you took, until the time you left for Makassar, have you asked my opinion Surya? Didn't you?" the ayu girl smiled wryly while holding tightness in her chest.

On the one hand the Moon is silent with everything that Surya does, but that does not mean he is not involved at all.

Surya breathed out roughly. "I'm sorry, Moon .. I didn't involve you. I guess you've definitely agreed with my actions, after all it's all I'm doing for the future of both of us. To make you happy too."

"Then, I held you back several times to stay by my side, Surya. Do you remember how I asked you to spend the holidays in Jogjakarta, but in fact you also went to Jakarta, leaving me just like that. It's not that I'm Surya's childish, is it. As your girlfriend, as someone close to you, I also want you to choose me once and prioritize me. Euhm, but in fact all this time will never be able to Surya? Prioritize and involve me once, Surya. Like I always involve you in what I take and do. I cherish you as a person close to my heart, Surya .. That's why I always involve you." again the girl smiled bitterly.

For the first time in six years, the Moon expressed her heart to Surya. Silence does not mean approving, letting does not mean accepting in the heart. This month Surya involved him in every decision he made. What does love mean if it has never been involved? What does love mean when you are still living your own life? Is it true that love will do everything regardless of its partner.
