Between Love and Corona
Healing Wounds

"He hurt me, Bin ...."

A sentence just slid off the lips of the Moon. Accompanied by a sobbing that made the girl's speech feel so heartbreaking.

Burning her face inside the chest of the Star, the girl still cried sobbing. While the Star slowly rubbed gently on the girl's back. "Relax yes .. there I am here." replied the man who gave time for Moon to cry.

The situation continued like that, until slowly the Moon released her embrace in the body of the Star. Then the girl had a seat in the Vredenburg Fortress area. Just like the Moon, the Star also sat beside the girl whose face was so chaotic this time. Two red and swollen eyeballs, lips swollen with blood on the corners of his lips. Everyone knows that the moon is not okay. Even the mask that the girl had previously worn was now also lost to nowhere.

"So .. has it calmed down now?" ask the stars while breathing. Honestly seeing the Moon in this condition makes the man feel short of breath.

If the Moon is in pain, it is he who feels pain in a row. However, realizing that his relationship with the Moon was only a friend, the Star tried to hold back so that he did not ask too far.

However, by looking at the wound on the corner of the Moon's lips it is certain that Surya has just kissed the Moon to injure the corner of his lips.

Slowly the Moon nodded faintly. Both of her hands tried to tidy up her slightly messy hair, then wiped her tears. While sobbing, the girl smiled by looking at the Star.

"I'm sorry Bin.. I'm too emotional" he told the emotional Star.

The star shook its head. "No .. It's okay Moon. Later to the car well, I have ointment for bruises there" he said as he pointed to the corner of the Moon's bloody lips.

"No need Bin .. later will also be healed anyway." The moon feels bad. Therefore, he just wanted to let it go, it would be too sad if Bintang was the one who treated the wound.

"It's okay .. Let me heal your wounds" said the man with a serious-looking face.

Healing wounds on the lips or healing wounds in the heart?

A double speech from the Star that makes the Moon refute both eyes.

"Why have you always been kind to me, Bin .. when I myself have often not been kind to you." said the Moon in a clear voice.

The Moon felt strongly that the Stars were always kind to her. Even when the Moon is cold and self-fortifying, the Stars are kind to her.

The man just smiled a little. "Without me giving an answer, I'm sure that you already know the answer." said the man with all his heart.

It was his deep feelings for the Moon that made the Stars always be kind to him. A truly sincere attitude, never changed even a while ago the Moon was so cold.

The girl came back with her tears. "If she's as good as you ...."

Indirectly, the Moon actually compares the Sun with the Star. What the Moon feels right now is, Stars always treat it well. His sincerity really felt right down to the heart of the Moon.

"Can I trust you?" ask the Moon this time with glazed eyes looking at the stars.

The supposition given by the man is quite an answer, that the Star is someone who can be trusted.

"Surya was very emotional and he accused me of being a no-no .. For a long time we both argued, suddenly Surya forced me to kiss me. I rebelled because I didn't like it, he hurt me. I even pushed him and slapped him." the Moon story in the end.

Tears rolled down the cheeks of the girl. Tears that come out by itself, making the Moon must several times try to calm itself.

"From your lips alone it is visible, if Surya kisses you" said the Star as she lowered her head.

"You know how I freed myself?" ask the Moon and ask the stars.

"For the first time, I that slapped Surya's face with my hand it was. After that, I can let go of myself."

The star, who had lowered his head, slowly raised his face to look at the face of the girl who was now sitting next to him.

"You slapped him? Seriously?"

The star did not believe what the Moon had just said that he was so frustrated with Surya. Until the girl claimed to have slapped Surya.

Again the Moon nodded her head. "True .. I slapped him."

Still the Star felt disbelief, the girl as soft as the Moon apparently could also slap Surya.

"You know what it's like to be kissed suddenly so roughly and feel blindly? like entering the mouth of a lion. It hurt, it hurt, and it ended up being harassed by her" said Moon sobbing.

Now the stars know how the Moon feels. What the girl said was true. Stars used to smell it all of a sudden, just that they did it very gently, there was no motive to hurt the Moon.

The man then inched and now he crouched down before the Moon, rubbed the lower lip of the Moon with his finger, then wiped a speck of blood on the corner of the girl's lips with a tissue.

"Remember, I've wiped it. I cleaned it up, there was no trace of Surya making you cry and in pain. Now we're out of here, huh? It's almost evening, I'm sure Surya has also left" said Bintang.

The Moon nodded her head and slowly stood up, she walked behind the Star. However, the Star momentarily stopped its steps, then the man extended his one hand.

"Come .. don't get left behind, if there's anything with you I don't know because you're walking behind me" he said.

The girl was stunned staring at the outstretched hand of the Star. The upheaval in his heart felt even more thrilling. Should he receive a Star hand? Linger around the Star, making the girl feel her heartbeat does not beat unequally.

Seeing the Moon as reluctant, the Star tried to grab the hand of the Moon and hold it. "Come .. I parked my car in front of here anyway. We don't need to go far" he said.

The Moon sighed as the Star linked its fingers. However, he could only continue to follow the footsteps of the Star with his hands clinging to each other. A few minutes walk, they were finally in front of the red car owned by the Star.

"Come in." he said as he opened the door for the Moon.

After the Moon entered, the man walked to the back, picking up the P3K box there. With a small white box, Bintang entered his car. He took out an ointment and a cotton bud from the box.

"I'm taking medicine, there's still blood on the corner of your lips. Could you please trim a little bit of your hair" said Bintang.

Slowly, the Moon nodded her head and straightened her hair. Pull her hair out and put it behind her ears.

The star then approached and intended to apply an ointment on the corner of the Moon's lips, but the man turned his back when he looked under the ear and some parts of the Moon's neck were red. The man sighed.

"Did Surya also press your face and neck to red like this?"

Not only the answer, the Moon only nodded faintly and shed tears.
