Between Love and Corona
Ngabuburit Both

A few days passed, this afternoon after finishing doing all the work related to IT at home. The star intends to take a walk and a little breath of fresh air. The man chose to take a walk on the Malioboro protocol road.

The pandemic period that makes the Malioboro area so deserted, even some sellers who usually sell along the sidewalk also now feel empty, only one or a few traders who sell. The man chose to park his motorcycle and started walking. Sometimes he looks to the right and to the left. The atmosphere is so contrasting, this place used to be the heart of the economy of Jogjakarta. For a while now, everything feels so empty.

Enjoying the afternoon in solitude, footsteps that continue to walk, finally Bintang chose to sit for a moment around the Zero Point Kilometer of Jogjakarta City. With a large crossroad where so many vehicles passed by, Bintang just chose to sit on one of the park benches and look at the March 1 General Attack Monument which stands gallantly on the corner of the street.

As far as the eye could see, the man only saw a variety of vehicles that seemed to pass by. However, in a pair of netra that looked at it in a split second, the pair of netra caught the shadow of an ayu-looking girl named Moon Maheswari.

As if captivated, in fact his heart had indeed fallen too deep. As if to blink, in fact the figure had long stolen his heart and eyes. Until finally, when the girl passed before his eyes, immediately the Star called out to him.

"Month ..." here's the girl's name.

A greeting that made the girl flick her footsteps. Head to neck the girl turned to the source of the voice, how surprised the Moon was when she saw a man who had always met her unintentionally.

"Eh, you Bin ..." he swept back the man as if he was stuck.

A smile just rose from the corner of the Star's lips. "Yes ..this is me. How can you be here?" ask the Star which then stands right in front of the Moon.

Occasionally the Moon seemed to scratch his head, he felt the city of Jogjakarta is so vast, but how could the last few times where the place he came to always meet with the Star. The girl only muttered inwardly and tried to smile at the man who was currently standing before her.

"I was ngabuburit .. limited to the afternoon streets actually, the same will all buy Bakpia Pathuk." replied the Moon honestly.

The star just smiled and nodded his head. "Which way do you want to go now? I'm temenin yes. I'm also alone, if there's a theme it feels better." said the man who seemed to get a chance to be able to walk the afternoon together, as well as ngabuburit with the Moon.

Wanting to refuse it did not taste good, the Moon nodded her head. "I want to go to the bookstore that is in the direction of the Keraton. Just look around the truth, you know find a good ancient book." replied the Moon while pointing towards the road to the Palace of the Sultanate of Jogjakarta.

"O ... get there. Yuk, I'm walking." said the man with a face that looks very excited.

Eventually, the two walked slowly. Stare at the sidewalk that extends while breathing the air of the city of Jogjakarta, and greet the wind in the afternoon that cools both.

"Why are you looking for an ancient book, Moon?" The star took the initiative to ask why the Moon was interested in searching for an ancient book.

The girl who was still walking was just smiling. "Some ancient books contain a great deal of art and historical value, such books are sometimes not printed by major publishers. Only indie publishers still allow printing ancient books. So I thought about looking for him. Find time in between routines to do what I love."

At first glance the Star was stunned to hear the answer from the Moon, in the midst of various routines and activities did make a person forget what he liked, and here it is as if the middle Moon is telling him to leave a moment of his routine and do what he likes. A value of how to enjoy life simply.

As for the Moon, he was just indeed filling his activities. Specifically, it is now its relationship with Surya in the pause phase. The girl had plenty of time to do what she loved. If in the past, more time was spent holding a mobile phone and doing a chat or mobile call, now all that time he switched to do what became his hobby and favorite.

Initially there is something missing when someone always intersects with a cellphone in hand, replies to a chat from someone whose existence we are indeed waiting for and longing for, then the person breaks the pause and communication is cut off just like that. However, as time went by the Moon knew many things in life that he had neglected, many hobbies that he did not enjoy and work on because he only focused on Surya and his mobile phone.

"In my eyes, you are so unique Moon .. When someone just enjoys the routine until immersed in it, you can actually do what you like and enjoy it." praise Bintang seriously.

But the moon is spreading its shoulders. He tried to convince himself that what the Stars were saying was not just a fight. Women are so easily tempted, and the Moon does not want to fall just because of the flurry of a man. However, for some reason the look in the eyes and look on the face of the Star showed the opposite, seriousness and sincere praise really plastered real there.

"I'm ordinary, Bin. It has arrived, I want to see it in the bookstore first yes" he said, pointing to one of the bookstores not far in front of him.

The girl started to approach and looked at the titles of the books sold in the bookstore one by one. Until then, his right hand outstretched to take one book to observe the cover, then read the synopsis on the back cover. Some time the girl was just silent, her eyes were moving and occasionally blinking signifying the eyes were reading.

While not far by his side, the Star was precisely observing the beautiful scenery that entered into the retina of his eyes.A beautiful girl was reading an ancient book. It is a beautiful, beautiful sight to miss.

Feeling that the book was not what he was looking for, Moon put the book back down and walked slowly and looked through several other books. Not only Javanese history books are sold, there are ancient magazines, and also some other works of art that can be found in this place.

Until now the Moon again stopped when he saw the fairy tale book children's stories by Maestro fairy tale Children of the world, Hans Christian Andersen. The old printed book actually grew the curiosity of the Moon. Just a quick look at it, last month asked how much the book was worth.

Not waiting for long, he had already paid for the book and clutched it in front of his chest with a smile full of happiness.

"Why buy a children's book?" ask the honest Star a little confused when the Moon dropped the choice by buying the fairy tale book.

The moon is smiling. "When I was a kid, I loved this book. For a long time I tried to find this book and wanted to buy it, and now look at me finding it. I'm really happy."

The stars are smiling too. "Only a simple thing can apparently make the Moon so happy."

In the afternoon, the sun began to set in the western horizon decorating the orange color in the sky. Now the Moon and the Stars are both walking out of the bookstore, then back to their motorcycle parking lot.

"You all break fast together? It feels like we have been together without afdol if it is not continued by breaking the fast together" said Bintang.

While the Moon again weighs why the universe easily meets the Star. The girl was silent before making her voice.

Just the faint nod the Moon gave out could actually make the Stars smile widely.

"OK can ..." said the Moon quickly.

A word that makes the stars happy. His impromptu plan for an afternoon walk on Malioboro Street actually made him meet with the Moon. More than that, he could enjoy an afternoon walk together and would continue with breaking the fast together.

Happiness that seemed to make the man jump happily.
