Between Love and Corona

Between Love and Corona
He Who Returns Arrived


About a month after Eid al-Fitr, when the government has given permission that passenger aircraft can return to operation, at that time also Surya took the initiative to take leave and return to Jogjakarta.


Surya's return was indeed a surprise, because no one was told. He wanted to surprise his parents. It has been a few months since Surya worked in Makassar, and only this time he can take leave and return to Jogjakarta. Although only a few days, at least it can treat the longing for family and beloved city.


From Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, Makassar, the man had been waiting for immediate boarding. With a cabin suitcase and also a ticket in his hand, it feels like Surya wants to land in Jogjakarta soon. Inhaling the air in the city of Gudeg which he had for months abandoned.


The plane he was flying on was right at 14:35 Central Indonesia Time (WITA), from the air Surya was thinking how he would meet the Moon and solve the problem between the two who were still hanging.


For two hours in the air, until the plane will make a landing at Yogyakarta International Airport, Surya saw from below along the coast of Java Island visible from the air, and also green island with population density number one in Indonesia. Not long after, the plane began to reduce its altitude in the air, swooping, and turning, until finally the plane he was riding landed perfectly.


Arriving at Yogyakrta International Airport, apparently Surya did not want to go home immediately. The man chose to stop for a moment to the Malioboro area. Intend to wait for dusk in Malioboro area while enjoying warm Ginger Gapuk in Angkringan which is in Malioboro area.


While waiting for dusk and Angkringan also opened, Surya chose to take a walk in the Malioboro area. The man looked to the right and to the left, observing some batik sellers still selling along Malioboro street. Although Malioboro in pandemic times became quieter, but there are still traders there who try to forage for Rupiah.


When the man was walking around, from the opposite direction apparently he saw the Moon and also the Star that had just come out of Beringharjo Market.


Three pairs of eyes stood together, the Moon who had originally spoken while smiling with the Star just the smile on her face was gone. The girl's face looked pale as soon as she saw Surya who was suddenly in front of her. Even if Surya wore a mask on his face, but as a person who had a long relationship with Surya, it was certain that the Moon could confirm that the man was Surya.


While Surya who saw the Moon and the middle Star walking together, suddenly stopped his steps. The man seemed to be facing the moon.


"Don't see you in a long time." said the man with a flat face.


While the Moon was just stunned, he did not expect to meet Surya suddenly in the Malioboro area. On the other hand, the stars seem calm. Every now and then he glanced at the Moon, hoping the Moon would still be fine.


"During the absence of seeing each other, unfortunately you two look comfortable with each other. Follow me for a while Moon, there's something I need to say." said the man who tried to grab Moon's hand and bring her to follow her.


While the Star tried to block the hand of Surya who was holding the hand of the Moon. "Detach, Surya. You can't treat the Moon like this" said the star, who warned Surya not to be rude to the Moon.


"Don't interfere" he told Bintang as he slightly pushed the man's shoulder, hoping that Bintang would disavow from before him.


Regardless of the Moon's hand that might be in pain, Surya led the Moon to Vredeburg Fort. A fortress that bears silent witness to historical events in the city of Jogjakarta since the Dutch colonial period in Jogjakarta. The historic white building bears witness to the long upheaval in the Dutch colonial period in Jogjakarta. And now, in the fortress also Surya continues to walk quickly as if dragging the Moon to follow him.


While the Star did not stay still, from behind he continued to follow where Surya would take the Moon. Stars are just in case something unwanted happens until Surya injures the Moon. The stars will not let it.


Once it had entered the area of Fort Vredeburg which was then fairly quiet, Surya then threw the hands of the Moon just like that, until the girl almost staggered.


"You hurt me Surya" said the Moon, who saw her wrists flushed with Surya's powerful grip.


The Moon just lowered its head. The sudden meeting and now getting questions like this is really beyond the prediction of the Moon.


Surya then chose to remove the mask that covered his mouth and nose, even the man also pulled the mask worn by the Moon until the mask was released.


"Say the Moon, don't shut up!" half snapped at the man hoping the Moon would give an answer soon.


While the Moon looks shocked by the clash uttered by Surya.


"We better talk about it another day, Surya .. I think you just arrived in Jogjakarta. There was a suitcase in his hand. Go home and rest, tomorrow we can both talk when your mind is calmer" said Moon who tried to convince the Stars that it is not good to talk with a tired physical condition and an emotionally ignited mind.


It would be much better for the conversation between the two of them to be done tomorrow, when Surya is not tired and does not rise in blood of course.


Unfortunately Surya did not accept rejection, the man grinned and stared intently at the Moon.


"Is this also part of your plan to be able to walk with the Stars? Say, ha!"


As if he could not stand it anymore, the emotions inside Surya were no longer able to hold back.


Realizing that Surya was emotional, the Moon chose silence. Against people who are emotional, there is no point. Whatever he would say later, it was still him who was downloaded.


"Why do you have the Moon .. It was only a few months that I went to Makassar and you found comfort with the man. Where's your old loyalty to the Moon?" surya asked while rubbing his face rough.


The man questioned where the loyalty of the Moon used to be. A faithful girl awaits her lover. Surya seemed to lose the figure of the Moon that once was.


The face of the Moon, which had been lowered, slowly lifted up. The girl looked at Surya.


"Did you not meet for so long, this kind of meeting that you gave Surya? For so long, when you say a pause, do you not think about my feelings. I know, I was wrong ... but when you say pause and no communication for so long, you assume that is what Surya?"


tanya Moon who seemed to shake her head. The girl admitted that she was guilty of having gone with the Stars until the kiss at Kedung Kayang Waterfall occurred. However, the Moon also feels that Surya who silenced it for some time is also not a good action.


"Then, when I'm quiet, why don't you just contact me first?" surya's turn also asked the Moon.


The moon seemed to snort with annoyance at the words of the stars. "What is the guilty party that must contact first? Even if I call you, not necessarily you will respond to my message." said the Moon at the time.


What he felt seemed to be unstoppable as well. The lull relationship, Surya's jealousy, and the various possessive attitudes shown by Surya during the Long Distance Relationship really made the Moon impervious. Instead of being silent and constantly cornered, Moon intends to express her own feelings even though it will ignite a fire in the relationship.
