Between Love and Corona
Voice Drift

After waiting until Tika fell asleep, Moon came out of her room and joined her Father and Mother.

"So what's the story of Tika's family, Nduk?" tanya Bu Sundari started the conversation by giving a question to the Moon.

The moon breathed for a moment. "So the morning when the Moon arrived at school, Mr. Principal who told the Moon that both parents Tika was taken to the Hospital because of positive Covid. While the results of Tika's swab (swab test) were negative, so the child was left alone at home. The medics brought her parents only. Perhaps out of fear and shock, Tika cried last time the Moon got there. The moon can't bear to let a child as small as Tika alone at home. Not only the physical Moon worried, but psychically and mentally also pity Mom." the story of the Moon to the Father and Mother.

The two Moon elders nodded their heads. "Yes, you are right Moon .. Not only children, we adults can also be shocked when the closest person to us hit Corona. Everyone won't be ready, Moon. It's okay, we take care and care of Kartika together while praying that both parents will get well soon" said Mr. Hartono.

"Amin ... earlier this month also calmed Tika down before she went to sleep. Tika story that kangen the same Father and Mother." said Moon with sad.

"All children will miss their parents Moon, especially at a time like this, Tika also does. Those who are used to 24 hours with their parents suddenly have to be separated. Even Tika saw how both her parents were carried ambulance. Of course the child is very sad." said Bu Sundari, who was embraced by Moon and Mr. Hartono.

"Yes already, you also rest the Month .. take care of health. Take care of others, but you also have to take care of your health" said Sundari added.

The moon nodded its head. "Good Moon go into room yes Ma'am ... The moon also forgot to call Surya all day because he was busy taking care of Kartika" he said who then entered his room.

Once in the room, Moon pulled out the phone from her nightstand drawer there were several messages and calls from Surya.

The moon frowned seeing the number of messages and calls that entered his cellphone.

Immediately, the Moon contacted Surya and pressed the phone icon on his phone.

"Hello .. good night Surya." greet the Moon when their call has been connected.

"Yes hello .. Night is also the Moon. What have you been doing all day? Until my message is not answered, neither is my call lifted." Surya immediately grumbled because he felt the Moon ignored him.

The moon seems to be massaging his temple, just connected phone apparently Surya has given him so many questions.

"I'm sorry Surya .. I've been so busy all day." said the Moon as she sighed. "There were parents of my positive student Covid, so I went to see my student and brought him home." Moon told Surya.

There Surya just scrunched his forehead. "Why do you bother the Moon? Until you haven't been telling me all day." said Surya in a tone that sounded annoyed.

The moon scratched behind her non-itchy ears. "I'm sorry Surya. After all, my student was alone at home. I went there after teaching at school. Now I take my students home. I'm sorry, if I haven't called you all day." Moon said in a heartfelt apology.

"Hmm, it's okay. I forgive you, Moon." said Surya who made the Moon instantly relieved.

"Thank you for forgiving me, Surya. What were you doing there all day?" ask the Moon with a smile.

"I work from home today only Moon, the spread of Covid numbers in Makassar is quite high. So that the employees are asked to work from home." Surya told the Moon.

The ayu girl listened to the story from Surya while playing her fingernails. "So all day just in the boarding house?" tanya Moon while taking the headset from her nightstand.

Surya nodded his head as if he were talking to the Moon. "Yes, I've been in the boarding house all day. Moon, I miss you. It hasn't been two months since we've met." Surya is currently there with a sad face.

The moon is smiling. "Yes .. has been two months. Not felt." he replied.

"Could call you like this like get a Voice Overlay, Moon. I miss your voice, I miss your face, I miss meeting you. However, this Voice Float cannot treat my feelings of kangen to you. Only meetings can treat this kangen taste. Sometimes hearing your voice even this heart is getting homesick" said Surya at length.

On the other hand, the Moon was giggling. "You're better, Sur .. kayak ABG's new date." he said.

There Surya threw himself on his bed. "Serius yo .. I miss. I miss. Have you ever heard the song Campursari called Voiceover, Moon?" surya asked as she rolled on her bed.

The moon shook her head. "Never.. Which one?"

sworo raiso ngobati

roso kangen marang sliramu, yai

sworo raiso ngganteni

kulino I nyandhing sliramu, yai

(Sound flyer can not treat

longing for you.

Voice cannot replace

my habits are with you.)

Surya sang the song while remembering every moment he spent with the Moon.

"I miss the Moon ... But to meet you is hard. Weight. Plus the current state."

The moon listening to the sound of Surya singing only held back laughter. His voice was so funny in the ears of the Moon.

"Sunday News .. We can only be patient. We can stay healthy with each other, communicating feels like enough now. The way we love each other is to make sure we're both healthy and not infected with this coronavirus" Moon said calmly.

Surya nodded his head. "Yes .. I know. I also hope, you are there always take care of health. I will take care of my health here. Tighten the health protocol, do not leave the house if not urgent" said Surya.

Silent moment.

Surya asked the Moon again. "Did you there miss me too, Moon?"

The moon smiled and lowered its head. "Yes .. I definitely miss you too, Surya. Once we used to meet, now we are separated by distance and time. Your question is very rhetorical Surya."

Surya was relieved to hear the answer of his girlfriend who also missed him, thus it was not only him who felt longing. "I miss you, Moon ... I want to meet ... However, only through this voice overpass can we chat...."
