Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
The Santun Bersilaturahmi Man


"Hey Bin.." greet the Moon as he looks at the Star that is already sitting on the chair that is in his living room.


The man who was wearing a shirt at the time, looked so neat. Make the Moon smile when it finds the Star sitting and smiling at the Moon.


The man straightened his back and then stood up. Greet both parents of the Moon, saying Happy Eid Al-Fitr.


"Happy Eid Al-Fitr Mr and Mother .. Sorry if there was a deliberate or unintentional mistake" said the man as he lowered his face, apologizing to an older person.


"Sama-sama Mas Star ... Father and Mother also congratulate Lebaran yes. We start again from Zero." said Mr. Hartono representing Bu Sundari who said Happy Lebaran to the Stars.


"Please sit .." he continued, allowing the stars to sit.


The man did not come empty-handed, in his hand there was a green paper bag with ornaments ketupat. Slowly, he lifted the paper bag and handed it to Bu Sundari. "Mom, this is from me. Happy Eid ul-Fitr nggih Bu" said the man so manly.


Receiving a gift from the Stars, Miss Sundari just laughed. "Do not bother loh Mas Bintang .. use carrying like this. If you come to the house to play, play. Mother actually does not feel good." said Mrs Sundari honestly who felt bad with the gift brought by the Star.


The stars just nodded and smiled. "Not how much Ma'am .. is just an Eid gift." said the man.


On the one hand, the Moon appears to observe the interaction between the Star and its parents. In her heart, the girl thought about why her parents seemed to be compatible and happy with the Stars. There is a sense of openness felt by the Moon. However, the girl chose silence and observed the interaction between the Star and her parents.


"Have you eaten?" asked Mr. Hartono suddenly.


Before answering, the Star looked at the Moon for a moment. Staring at the face of aayu from a girl who was now sitting in front of him.


The stars are smiling. "So it's already at home sir .. happened to be Mother cooking Ketupat. Usually if Lebaran, at home Mother always cook Ketupat." he replied.


"Sama means .. Here his mother Moon also made a dent. One is just the Ketupat media from January, and the other is wrapped in banana leaves" said Mr. Hartono while chuckling.


"Yes already .. we go inside yes. There must be something to talk about with the Moon. Relax Mas Bintang, consider it your own home" said Mr. Hartono while inviting Bu Sundari to go inside.


Mr. Hartono and Mr. Sundari entered the kitchen area. Sit together at the dinner table. Apparently Mr. Hartono also slightly observed the attitude and movements shown by the Stars. The middle-aged man cleared his throat which made Bu Sundari turn his head and look at her husband.


"Ehem, a well mannered man yes ma'am .. his son is polite, so polite to older people." said Mr. Hartono as he occasionally looked towards the living room where the Moon and Stars were sitting face to face.


Sundari nodded in agreement. "Yes .. very polite. Dream ghost candidates yes sir.. unfortunately they are just friends." said Ms. Sundari while removing various cakes and syrup Cocopandan brought by Bintang in the paper bag earlier.


"Look sir, you know very well here brought a variety of cakes Lebaran there Nastar, Snow White, and Castangle, and this is also Cocopandan Syrup. Visiting in-laws on Hari Raya, sir?" Ms. Sundari chuckled in amusement while looking at the various cakes the Star had brought.


Mr. Hartono nodded in agreement. "Yes ... I actually like the stars. The man was well mannered, also his carriage was calm, calm. The same month also looks sincere." said Mr. Hartono in the end.


As a father at least Mr. Hartono also wants the best mate for the Moon. Nevertheless, Mr. Hartono did not insist. He will allow the Moon to determine who is the right man and certainly love the Moon with all his heart.


Meanwhile in the living room, an awkward atmosphere actually enveloped the Moon and Stars. Both of them were silent and only occasionally threw a glance.


"Happy Eid Moon .." said the man, smiling at the Moon.


The girl nodded her head. "Happy Eid Al-Fitr also Yes Bin.." he said briefly.


"I'm sorry to make my mistake yesterday .." said the man sincerely.


"Yes Bin .. I also apologize if I did anything wrong" said Moon, who also apologized to Bintang.


Eid Al-Fitr Day is indeed a condition of forgiveness and this time both apologized to each other, hoping that both of them can return to Fitri, celebrating Eid while forgiving.


"Aren't you going anywhere on Lebaran Day?" ask the stars who certainly want to melt the atmosphere in the afternoon.


The girl shook her head. "No. I'm at home. You yourself do not muter-muter or silaturahmi to your brother's house?" ask Moon.


"No ... My father, mother, and brother visited Budhe in Solo. I'm home." said the man.


"O .. in Solo, it's pretty good two hours from Jogjakarta, that's also if it's not jammed. Usually lebaran will jammed the road." said the Moon who said that indeed when Lebaran precisely traffic was more jammed especially for the provincial road Solo - Jogja.


The star nodded its head. "Yes .. pretty jammed anyway, but exciting the hell in Solo. There are many good culinary tours there" said the man who was suddenly shocked about culinary tourism in Bengawan City.


"Yes ... lots of good food there and the price is affordable." replied the Moon which this time looks more relaxed.


Then the Star felt relieved because this time, the Moon was not too awkward.


"You didn't visit the Surya family, the Moon?" ask the stars slowly.


The stars want to know why the Moon is going there. Usually every year Surya will certainly invite the Moon to join his family.


The smile on the face of the Moon instantly disappeared. "No Bin .. actually, I pause with Surya" said the girl softly, hoping the conversation was not heard by both parents.


The stars were stunned to hear the moon.


How could the Moon say pause? How long has it been?


The man then looked at the face of the Moon with an undefined look of eyes. Trying to plumb the truth in the Moon's speech.


"How could it possibly pause?" ask the stars with a clean sliver.


The Moon just shook her head. The girl smiled bitterly. "Hmm, it's okay ...."
