Between Love and Corona
Readiness

The question asked by the Father to the Moon honestly made the Moon think hard. Yes, what Mr. Hartono asked is true, when deciding to marry Surya later it is certain that the Moon must be ready to leave Jogjakarta and follow Surya. Because that is how it should be, if indeed the Moon does not plan to follow Surya then they will do Long Distance Married.

"So how are you ready to leave Jogjakarta?" again ask Mr. Hartono to his daughter.

The moon smiled clumsily and then sighed. "The Moon think that, leaving Jogjakarta is no problem. The problem is to be away from Father and Mother. Yes, even though the Moon knows that marrying Surya will have to be ready to be placed throughout Indonesia. Once the Mutation Decree is given, it must be ready to move. What about the Moon's work?"

"In life there is always a choice of the Moon. Sometimes you have to let go of something to get something. Sometimes not everything you can get. Therefore, you should start thinking from now on. If you do not mind if you follow Surya after marriage later. A wife is better off with her husband. Help her, take care of her, and watch her. That is the duty of a wife. Also, you must be ready wherever Surya will be placed later." Advice from Mr. Hartono to his son.

The moon nodded its head. "Yes Sir ... The moon is also starting to think about it. While we do Long Distance Married if still both it feels not too heavy. However, if you already have children pity his children later. They need a figure, a role model, and togetherness with both parents. So yes it is difficult sir." said Moon with his thoughts to his Father.

Just now Mr. Hartono will continue his conversation, apparently Bu Sundari also joined them on the terrace of the house.

"What's the conversation just now? How serious." asked Miss Sundari who took a seat near her husband.

"It's okay ma'am ... Just talk to the moon. The father asked if the Moon is ready to leave Jogjakarta if later married to Surya?" Mr. Hartono repeated his question and told his wife.

Ms. Sundari seemed to nod her head and thought about the question her husband said. "What you ask is true Moon .. If Mother is private, I do not mind if you follow Surya. A wife is better off with her husband. Difficult and happy together. Because the married life also has to learn, adapt to each other" said Sundari who gave advice also to the Moon.

"Yes, Mom ...." The month later paused his speech. "The problem is that the Moon itself does not know when it will be hosted by Surya, Mom. The women can only wait for a proposal from the men. There was nothing else the Moon could do." he said, trying to smile, as his heart raged.

What the Moon says is indeed a fact, in the tradition of Javanese society, including Jogjakarta, the women are only those who wait for a proposal from the men. It is not very good if the woman asks or submits a proposal. As part of the Javanese community that still holds the tradition, the Moon family also knows if they can only wait.

"Yes who are patient Nduk .. as long as we are patient insyaallah all will open one by one. That's the key." said Mrs Sundari as she stared fixedly at her son's face.

As with Mrs Sundari, Mr. Hartono also seemed to nod his head. "As long as you can be patient and your feelings don't wear off, try to stick around. As strong as you can, as much as you can. The key to your relationship is the feelings of both of you. To be taken where you decide in the end."

"Yes Sir ... The Moon is trying to survive. If Surya is faithful, the Moon will try to be faithful as well. However, the conditions are very far and plus the pandemic is what makes it increasingly heavy" said Moon honestly to his parents.

As they spoke in front of the house, suddenly there was a knock on the door from the direction of the house gate. The moon straightened its back, and stood up. "Let the Moon open" he said, walking towards the gate of his house.

As soon as the gate opened, the Moon seemed a little surprised to see who was coming. The girl smiled too.

"Eh, Star .. are you here?"

The star that came to the Moon's house that afternoon.

"Since I've tried your phone unanswered, that's why I'm here." The star continued to speak and his face looked so calm.

On the one hand, Mrs Sundari wanted to know who had come because the Moon was still standing in front of the gate.

"Who's Nduk, who's coming? Come ... be told to come in." said Miss Sundari half-calling telling guests to come in.

"Mother's Egg ..." sahut Moon.

The moon then smiled and opened its gates wider. "So Bin. .. told Mom to come in."

The stars look clumsy. "I'm only a short Moon." as excited as he tried to just come for a little while.

"Just enter .. later Mother is angry, you can not come here loh." successful Moon seduction makes the Star finally stepped foot into the gate of the Moon house.

"This is Ma'am ... The stars that come." said the Moon as it walked ahead of the stars.

"Oalah Mas Bintang .. enter and enter Mas." Mrs Sundari and Mr. Hartono appear to simultaneously tell the stars to enter.

On the seat in front of the terrace of the house, Bintang bowed and gave greetings to Father and Mother Moon. "Sugeng siyang (good afternoon in Javanese) Sir, Ms. ..." said politely.

"Yes yes Mas Bintang .. matur nuwun yes, yesterday positive Moon time, Mas Bintang already nolongin Moon. Father and Mother would like to thank you for the kindness of Mas Bintang" said Mr. Hartono.

Yes Mr. Hartono thank you for during the positive Moon, it was the Stars who gave food and various medicines and vitamins. Even the Stars come almost every day to greet the Moon from afar.

The stars are smiling. "Together Mr ... I am also happy to help the Moon. Not just the Moon, whoever needs help, I will definitely help."

"Mother also thank you Mas .. has also taken care and pay attention to the Moon. You and I can only thank you." Mrs Sundari also thanked the stars.

"Sama-sama Ma'am.." said the Star while nodding her head.

Sundari was smiling. "Definitely bothered, you have to find food and go back and forth here?" asked Bu Sundari while looking at the face of the Star which was covered with a mask.

The star smiled and shook his head. "No Ma'am ... No hassle. After all, the Moon also eats not hard, anything eaten. There was no special request, so I was just wondering. Besides, what matters now is that the Moon has healed." she admitted with a warm heart because the Stars are sincere in doing everything for the Moon.
