Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
Little Debaran


That night, after returning home from Legend Cafe apparently Star faithfully followed the motorcycle that the Moon rode from behind. So that the motorcycle lamp from the Star seems to be a lamp for the Moon in the darkness of that night.


Silently and continuing to ride his matic motorcycle, the Moon smiled inwardly.


You are the warm hearted figure of the Star. Though your attitude may sometimes seem cold, but your heart is warm. The goodness of your heart is so felt.


With a deep murmur, the Moon several times saw the figure of the Star who was also riding a motorcycle as seen from his rear gear vision. The man also seemed calm and unhurried. Letting the two motorcycles go hand in hand through the streets of Jogjakarta that night.


His second journey ended when the Moon stopped his motorcycle in front of the gate of his house. The star did the same thing, pausing his motorcycle.


"Home home, Bin .. thanks for being ushered home" he said, not forgetting to thank the Moon.


The stars nodded their heads and smiled. "Together with the Moon, thank you for today" he said.


"Thank you for today, you mean?" ask the Moon who asked what the Star meant.


A little scratching his nape that was not actually itchy, the Star smiled. "To break our fast and to pray together. Thank you." Thank you."


Hearing what the Star said, suddenly his heart seemed to experience a small thump. Not to open the fast, but to the first prayer they run.


Almost after the prayer, the Moon was about to shake the hand of the Star. But he paused, because the Star was currently only his friend. However, when the man said he wanted to lead the prayer, the Moon's heart felt really pounding.


The moon also nodded. "Sama-sama ... thanks also have been ushered until home" he said sincerely.


"Next time together ngabuburit want not the Moon?" apparently Bintang is still trying, he wants to invite the Moon to ngabuburit together.


The girl was only silent once in a while her eyes blinked, her mind was certainly weighing up should she follow the call of the Stars to be together.


"Where are you going?" ask the Moon at the end.


"Wherever you want .. as long as it's still in Jogja" said the man with a smile.


The moon nodded slowly. "Sometimes it depends on the permission of Father and Mother" he replied.


The stars also received the Moon's speech. Even if it wants to, but the Star also does not want to force the Moon. Let the girl move according to her heart.


"Yes .. It's night, I say yes Moon. Good night." he then rode his motorcycle and as usual the man waved his hand to the Moon.


While the Moon was still standing in front of its gate. The girl still saw the departure of the Star until the man's back disappeared. Slowly, the Moon sighed and she held onto her chest with a heartbeat that seemed to exceed her threshold.


Debaran made the girl smile and shook her head as she led her motorcycle into her home.

Meanwhile in Makassar, Surya was still silent. The man's mind was still in a frenzy. Similar to the Moon, this month is also the first fast for Surya to be away from the family and also from the Moon.


After deciding to take a break with the Moon, Surya was more aloof in his room. Sometimes he also chose to hang out alone on the edge of Losari Beach.


Even so tonight, Surya chose to return to visit Losari Beach. Letting the night wind by the beach hit him. Hope the cold of the night wind can cool his heart, his feelings, and also his mind.


Taking a break in a relationship is not an easy thing for Surya. Maybe before, the man was too emotional when saying a pause. However, standing in his opinion what the Moon has done hurt Surya greatly.


As he was sitting, apparently a woman's voice called out to him.


"Surya ... What are your nights here?"


Surya turned his head and looked for the source of the sound, apparently behind him was standing Arunika.


Then Surya smiled and replied to Arunika's greeting.


"Hey Nika .. This is just sitting around. Hang out." he said quickly.


"Can join?" asked Arunika before deciding to sit next to Surya.


The man nodded slowly and invited Arunika to join. "Please Nika .. are you alone?"


"Yes .. I'm alone. Last time I broke the fast, I wanted to breathe fresh air. I was going to be here. Tumben you come here at night." he asked curious to Surya who went to Losari Beach night-night.


Surya also spread his shoulders. "I'm just looking for some fresh air. There is no entertainment here either" he said unhappily.


Arunika also laughed. "You're like there's a problem. If there is a story problem." said Arunika who felt at that time Surya was a lot of thoughts so go to Losari Beach at night.


A small snort sounded from Surya. "After a long time, I finally found out who the girl that the Stars had been liking all along."


One sentence that made the laughter of Arunika previously lost. The girl now looked at Surya and opened her ears, hoping that Surya would continue her story.


"Who?" tanyanya brief.


"Moon .. yes, all this time it turns out that the Stars love the Moon."


A bitter smile was clearly imprinted on Surya's face. Actually Surya did not think that his best friend turned out to like his lover.


Hearing Surya's story, Arunika just nodded her head. A slight arch rose at the corner of his lips.


In silence, Arunika tries to recall the memory while still in college. Where the star is often caught staring at the Moon. Stars who are not willing to help the Moon. Is all that the love language of a Star for the Moon.


Arunika was relieved. After a long time passed the puzzle of who the girl who liked the Star was finally revealed.


"O .. Apparently the Moon. How did you know?" ask Arunika to Surya.


"A few months ago I called Bintang and he admitted that he has loved the Moon since we were both in High School. It's a long time, isn't it? I realized too late. Why didn't I notice the Star's movements and behavior all this time. Though I was his friend. Do you know how I feel?" ask the man in a clean manner.


While Arunika tries to listen as best as possible.


"On one side is my best friend, and on one side is my lover. A complicated and complicated situation. Situation that makes me dizzy seven circumference. It's complicated because the Star has told the Moon that she loves him." Surya told me at length.


A sigh was heard accompanying Surya's confession that night.


While Arunika is a listener, she understands that Surya's current situation is very strange. On one side of her lover, and on the other side is her best friend.
