Between Love and Corona
Come Without Hands

Today is for the first time after ten consecutive days the Star has not bought food for the Star. As Surya requested, so that the Stars would stop buying food for the Moon.

Actually some are missing, accustomed to the Stars buying one by one food that if preferred by the Moon. This morning the man was still relaxing in his house. It was like a missing routine. However, the Star is determined he will still visit the Moon some time later. He came and saw from afar as a form of moral support to the Moon.

The same thing is felt by the moon. The girl felt that there was less. Although now there is food in front of him sent by brother ojek online and Surya has also sent a message that he will buy what the Moon wants.

That morning, the Moon sat in the dining room alone and was reluctant to eat the Chicken Porridge. Suddenly something was missing. The Moon tried to feed a spoon of Chicken Porridge into her mouth, but it tasted bland. Verily the bland is not his mouth, but his heart. Honestly, the Moon was confused with Surya, whether it was possible that Surya contacted the Star and asked him to no longer provide food for her.

Suddenly tears just fell from the eyes of the Moon. The girl cried in silence, but suddenly her chest hurt so much that she held back her tears with one hand still holding the spoon that was on top of the Chicken Porridge bowl.

What am I feeling?

Why am I this sad?

Moon tried to calm her heart and wiped her own tears on the cheeks, then Moon sighed and said from her own that she should calm down. Even the Moon hopes there is no misunderstanding between Surya and the Stars.

Due to his unsettled feelings, Moon ended up not finishing his meal. The clock almost showed the number ten, and the Moon re-entered her room. Eleven days had passed, and the Moon was still faithfully making its own isolation so obediently.

When the Moon is just a fall with eyes that look, the phone suddenly rings. Reflex so quickly, the Moon immediately took the phone. The girl frowned when she found the Star calling her.

"Hello Bin.." said as soon as his thumb shifted the green icon on the phone screen.

"Hello Moon... What'd you just do?" ask the stars over their phone.

"I was just lying on the bed, Bin.." replied the Moon, which was just lying on the bed.

"Come out on the balcony of your room, Moon .. I'm downstairs as usual" said the star, who was standing at the gate of her home Moon.

Slowly the Moon got up and slowly she walked towards the balcony of her room. The girl smiled as she found the Star standing in front of the gate of her house.

"How long have you been standing there Star?" ask the Moon while looking at the stars from afar.

The stars are smiling. "I just came, and I called you right away. Sorry, I came this time without any hands."

Indeed the Star felt bad because after ten days in a row, only this time he came to the Moon house without any hands.

The Moon quickly shook her head. "It's okay Star .. You just come I'm happy. Thank you for visiting me from far away." The moon is sincere. It is undeniable that he felt lonely during his self-isolation and when there were Stars who visited him even though their distance was very far, but it was enough to warm his heart Moon.

From a distance the Moon nodded its head. "Yes Bin .. thank you very much."

"So how are you doing right now? Already eaten?" again the Star asked if the condition of the Moon was much better.

"I've been much better. Hopefully, during the swab test, the results will be negative. I miss my mom and dad, I want to go back to teaching. Life alone is so bad." said Moon with a wry laugh. He experienced a dozen lonely days and really did not feel good to live alone in the two-story house.

The star nodded and there was pity in his heart. He certainly knows how lonely the Moon is, but a self-isolation protocol must be run. "Propay .. is still three days away. I hope you are completely healed. The Spirit of Negative Fighters!" he said by clenching one hand and raising it in the air so that the Moon could see it from afar.

From a distance, the Moon laughed and also clenched its hands. "Of course I'm excited, Bin. I wish I was completely healed. Thank you for accompanying me and visiting me from afar. At least in a day there are humans I see. Usually I only see lizards on the wall that are quietly creeping." chanted the Moon while laughing.

Yes inside his house there was no human voice, no activity was heard. There were only lizards crawling on the walls of his room.

Hearing the funny Moon, the stars laughed. "It turns out you can also be funny to the Moon...."

"Sorry Bin .. almost some of this I forgot to laugh because it dissolved in my own condition. Hopefully this is the first and last time I'm positive Covid. Next, may I always be healthy." said the Moon wholeheartedly. He doesn't want a positive Covid anymore. He really wants to be healthy.

Smiling stars. "Sure Month. I also hope you will always be healthy. So today there's nothing you want? I can buy it before I go home. You know there's something you need."

From a distance the moon shakes its head. "Thank you Stars. You came without any hands, I'm happy too."

The sentence just slid from the mouth of the Moon. He admitted that he was happy when the Star without to meet him.

On one side, the stars smiled. His heart was also happy to hear the words of the Moon. Was the Moon really happy when he came?

Both are silent. They looked at each other even from a distance. Letting their minds drift. But it feels like there is a speck of awkwardness that affects both of them until the tongue feels so confused.

The star even scratched his nape which actually did not come. "Alright Moon... I'm saying yes. Speedy Recovery's! If you need anything, please do not contact me. So I can still come see you, right?"

The moon nodded its head. "Yes Star... Just come, it's okay. If it doesn't bother you. Thank you for visiting me."

The star then slightly turned its face to stare at the Moon from afar. Slowly he waved his hand. "I'm home yeah .. healthy fast. Later if you are healthy, I will bring you a picnic around Jogja" said Bintang suddenly.

The moon smiled and waved her hand. "really? Okay ... I'll make sure in a few days I'll be cured." he replied enthusiastically.
