Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
Home with Feeling of Restlessness


The rain that had fallen so hard since then, slowly began to subside. The dark clouds slowly disappeared, and the sky covered in white clouds again greeted. Two human children who were both trapped in the car for a long time slowly looked at the sky as if covering them.


Seeing that outside there, the rain had subsided, Bintang slowly moved his car driver and tried to get out of the tourist attractions Kedung Kayang. While the Moon is only silent and closed in front of the chest. The Moon and the stars are both dissolved in their own minds. All the events happening right now were completely beyond prediction. However, what power everything has indeed happened.


"Is there anything you want to go to the moon again?" ask Bintang while continuing to control the steering with both hands.


The moon shakes its head. "I think that's enough, Bin...after all it's almost afternoon." he said trying to answer as calmly as possible.


Though his heart rages, the Moon tries to answer the stars as often as possible. Honestly speaking, the girl still felt awkward. However, it was also impossible for him to just shut up and not answer the Star's question.


"Relatedly? If you want to see dusk can also." he said while occasionally glancing at the Moon.


A tempting offer actually. Only, his heart was not fine. Seeing the twilight with a raging heart was not the right choice. And so the moon shook its head.


"No .. don't need Bin. Let's just go home." replied the Moon wily.


The star nodded its head and agreed to the Moon's request. "Almost in one place yes, already here, you have to try this special food" he said with a smile.


Yes, the man tried to be as ordinary and normal as possible. As if nothing happened to them. Even if you want the Star to get rid of all the feeling that is so agitated. However, the man also chose to be his normal and proper.


"Try what?" ask the Moon slowly.


"We'll stop by to buy Tempe Mendoan and Warm Tea. It's not far from here." replied the Star quickly.


The moon nodded its head. "Okay, but don't go home late at night Bin .. Last night you told me not to go home too late."


"Yes .. all the time I predicted. Just chill. After all, there is no way that I will return Mr. Hartono's daughter too late." replied the Star with a chuckle, trying to melt the mood even though they were both cold at the moment.


Not long after, Bintang parked his car on the side of the road. It looks like a simple stall made of bamboo that sells Tempe Mendoan is tempeh which is inserted in wheat flour dough and herbs and scallions, then fried in hot oil.


Cold air, accompanied by Tempe Mendoan and Javanese Hot Tea that has a sepet taste, thick color, and scented jasmine becomes the choice of stars to stop by in the afternoon.


"Come Moon, eaten still hot mumpung. It's the chilli." The star offers a plate of Tempe Mendoan which is still hot because it just came out of the frying pan and green chili commonly eaten with the tempe mendoan. Sellers to provide soy sauce sambal served on the table.


The moon nodded and slowly picked up the one Mendoan Tempe. Biting tempe that is still hot and green chili that feels spicy in the taste senses. Because of the cold air and after the rain, Tempe Mendoan was very suitable to accompany that afternoon.


In his heart, the smiling Star looked at the Moon who was seen enjoying the simple meal of Tempe Mendoan and Hot Tea.


The moon nodded, "Yes. It's delicious." he said while biting back Tempe Mendoan.


"Have you ever eaten Tempe Mendoan in this area before?" ask the stars slowly.


The Moon quickly shook her head. "No. .. This is the first time, I ate Mendoan here."


The star seemed to frown on his forehead, he thought so for six years with Surya whether indeed the Moon was never invited to go for a walk or a culinary tour, he said, why only limited to enjoying Mendoan is the first time for the Moon.


But nevertheless, the, on the one hand Bintang is happy because he became the first man to take her on a tour in Kedung Kayang Waterfall and now he is also the first man to take her to eat Tempe Mendoan and Hot Tea. His heart was happy, and secretly the Star smiled inwardly. The first impression will always be in the heart. Hopefully one day, his love and sincerity will also impress for the Moon.


The star stretched out its hand and gave a tissue to the Moon. "There's soy sauce left on the corner of your lips, the moon" he said with a smile.


Speaking of lips, the Moon closed her eyes dramatically. Recalling how the Star kissed her lips so gently. But the Moon immediately brushed off all those memories. Trying to gather consciousness and receive a piece of tissue that the Star gave him, then wiping the corner of his lips.


"Thank you ..." he said after wiping the corner of his lips that were hit by soy sauce.


The stars also nodded. "Sama-sama ... come on, get eaten again. Or do you want to stop by for dinner? We just ate this morning, you must be hungry."


Feeling bad and still awkward, Moon shook his head. "No, Bin .. I eat at home. Eating Mendoan and Hot Tea alone is full" he said who tried to refuse subtly.


"Okay, all right."


After enjoying Tempe Mendoan and a glass of Hot Tea, both intend to stop eating snacks that afternoon and immediately get into the car to continue the trip to Jogja. The star first stood up and paid for Tempe Mendoan and the Hot Tea.


The moon appears to be following the star from behind. "Actually I only pay, Bin ..." he said that felt bad because this time the Star also spent money.


"Where there is, a guy out ngajak a girl who out money his girl. Already, it's okay." replied the Star lightly.


"But I am the bad one Bin .. I am even troublesome for you." replied the Star softly as soon as they were both in the car.


The star smiled and shook his head. "Don't bother me, for you whatever it is, I don't bother. Really am. If you hesitate, it's me who feels bad. Yeah, we're back in Jogja now? No one wants you to come again? Today is your day, I'm ready to be the Driver to take you anywhere today."


After what happened this afternoon, under the rain how could I possibly be so ordinary with you, Bin?


Your confession and your kiss made me nervous. How am I supposed to expose all this, Bin?
