CRACKS
THE PALE MOON PASSIVELY
“Darling we will walk? This is the last test! Refreshing.’’ Kinan did not want to continue with any prejudice by adding to the burden of his thoughts about Robby.
Kinan tried to shift the conversation to a world that was their place.
Whatever happens, Kinan obviously vehemently rejected the strange hissing that came while adjacent to his papa Erlangga. Let the night be her fondest memory, with the man in her heart all this time.
“OK, anything for my bidadiku.” This time Erlangga gets one sweet kiss before Bell tolls three times the sign of entry.
The gate has been pulled tight by the talent. Erlangga rushed to run away to immediately enter, the two palm ranges again the gate was tightly closed, Erlangga barged in, making the talent pack angry.
Ms. Meysi who was still standing not far from the gate swung a one-meter-long bamboo towards Erlangga, competing to hit.
“Eits! No no. no..” elak Erlangga while running towards class.
****
The rest of one subject. Erlangga has finished it. Haaa...He yawns very favourably.
Erlangga put pencils and test kits on the table neatly. Not wanting to hurry out, he stretched out his relaxed hands and slowly folded them, gently propped his head, then heard a soft snore from his mouth.
It's so easy why they're so slow to do it. Erlangga thought while closing her eyes.
“Erlangga!”
Such a sweet woman was standing by the side of her desk. Her beautiful and pliable hands touched Erlangga's ears.
“Yes, Ms. Meysi.”
Erlangga fumbled at the part of his ear that felt like an ant bite.
“It's done?”
Erlangga just nodded, slowly. His eyes still feel sleepy. Last night he could not sleep, besides he was so bothered with his new toy ‘Motor king’ He was also waiting for news of his papa who had reported about Kinan.
“Usai already National exam. You just have to wait for the results.”
“Iya Bu.”
“There's your papa in the office.”
Erlangga immediately rushed towards the office finished handing over his exam sheet.
Ms. Meysi reported that her papa had picked her up and had waited long enough.
“Ah, I have an appointment with Kinan.” Remembering his promise with Kinan.
“Can snag Kinan, if I can't go anymore. But... she never gets angry.”
“Asallamelicum..” Erlangga stood in the doorway.
The view never changed, when his father came to school. He immediately saw his father in the crowd of teachers.
All eyes came to Erlangga, no one allowed him to enter. They should have realized to get her papa through her selection.
If I say no! Eat no!
Fuck up! Women's eyes can't see an unemployed widower!
Long enough to stand up to the attention of Erlangga finally entered and sat beside his papa.
“You look alike huh?” A female teacher commented on them. Papa smiled very sweetly, let alone the women, Erlangga himself whose son, and every day met, was fascinated by the charismatic of his father.
His father is a man who does not talk much but acts. He rarely creates chats that have no importance. Especially with people around who really like stale chatter, the papa is very dislike.
Although classified as friendly and generous his father is not a person who is good at socializing with the environment.
“My time is money." That said.
“So, Do not like to waste time on non-essentials, Er.”
His father was a firm man, the only thing that could not make him decisive was only Erlangga.
‘‘Life it must be firm! Otherwise you will be played with by circumstances. Scarecrows also have meaning in life, let alone we are perfect humans! Don't make yourself look stupid in front of people. Better to be quiet than stupid. Because I know I'm going to show my bad character indirectly. And don't talk too much! The man must be able to maintain his attitude. If not! you'll end up being a clown!"
Erlangga in his silence idolized his papa, he always followed the style, appearance, manner of speech and daily life of his papa.
“Alright, because my needs here are done, I am home.” Robby ended the public conversation with the school.
Greeting and saying goodbye well is over.
As a farewell her father extended his hand to greet everyone. Not to forget his father brought gifts as mementos for them.
“Assalamualaikum..” His word.
Erlangga followed his papa step out.
“Pa I want to go home with Kinan! I promised to spend time with him.”
Robby looked at Erlangga, and nodded. His eyes were sad to remember an incident on a dark and cold night with his son's lover.
Guilt rushes to make his chest tight for quite a long time.
*Tc, Kalimantan has a story*
My cloud sheets are waiting for you here
until I miss changing my worries
Like waiting for rain in the dry season
Don't let me delirious your name into a shadow of a phony
Until the pale moon you didn't keep your promise
Let the longing burn me to ashes
You didn't come to me
