Moonlight On The Sea's
First Day

The next day arrived.

It was Summer's first day into the office with the position she had just achieved.

Summer walked into the company together with Mr. Bagas. While from the east entrance Praman with some of his followers.

Passing each other makes them want to not have to say hello to each other.

“Goodniece. You are quite great.” Praman said with a smile.

“Thank you Director.” Summer said politely.

But it turns out that his politeness makes Praman annoyed because there is a word “director”.

“Good happy working.” Praman said and passed followed by several men behind him.

“Director also.” Sahut Summer's.

When Summer enters her special room and sees her name tag that says. “CEO. Summer Wicaksono”'s

Hearts uprooted. He walked towards the chair carrying the heavy weight. When he sat down, the feeling he was sure to feel was sadness.

Back then when he entered the room, he would run while smilingly greeting his Papa. But now that he was sitting on his father's chair, it felt very cold and cruel.

After a year of never crying again, that time she couldn't help it. The news of his mother who has not been there makes him even more devastated.

He drowned his face in both his crossed hands on the table. He can't stop crying.

While Mara with her first day has legs.

Last night she accompanied her mother who was crying because Mara was leaving.

“Uma. I'll be fine.” Said repeatedly.

That morning they could not take Mara to the mainland for fear of attracting the attention of humans who accidentally passed by.

So Mara said goodbye and went alone. People also gathered to see the departure of the chieftain's son.

Early in the morning before the sun came up, Mara stayed on the beach waiting for her tail to change.

And then he watched for himself his tail became a stocky and long leg.

Soon she was wearing the pants and clothes she had prepared inside the clam shell she had just brought.

He slowly stood up. Then walk. Because he was too excited to run.

“Wohoooo. I have feet.” His word.

But he was even more shocked by his human-speaking voice. The closing of his mouth was shocked with wide eyes.

“Wah I can talk like a human.” His words were very cheerful while jumping.

“Summer.” He said softly while smiling shyly.

Wow so it feels like being able to say the name of the woman he likes. He was so happy, many times he ran jumping and screaming and laughing.

He felt that in the near future he could meet Summer.

With pede he walked while carrying a shell on his waist. It turns out that the sandals given by Uma are small, as well as the training pants that hang. Fortunately the white shirt he was wearing was quite large.

It's better than wearing nothing.

He reached the crowd of the market. A lot of sales people are screaming for people to buy their sales.

“Hei young man. It's cheap and fresh just look at it. Only 25 thousand sekilo.” Said the seller's mother offering her merchandise to Mara.

“Hmmm not fresh.” Answer Mara lightly. Because for him fresh fish that still flounder.

The fishmonger's mother was offended. “Please go. Don't bother people's efforts.” Angry talk.

“What kind of man is that? Summer is not so.” Mara Mumbles.

Mara walked over and looked around. Then he found a restaurant, saw the name of the restaurant written above the entrance.

“Seafood Bang Wawan” so it was written.

Opened his shell shell. And he saw the writing on a small wood. Compared to the name of the restaurant.

“Welcome. What message do you want?” Said a man in his 40s. Mara saw it and they were looking at her.

The man also noticed from the clothes, and the jet black hair as well as the pitch black eyes. But a very tall body.

“Ahhhhh descendant Appa.” Her thought.

“Come Mara.” The owner of the restaurant.

“Bima.” Mara immediately hugged him.

“You are so big. Your height is 190cm. Kids Appa is different.” He said patting Mara on the back of that field.

Bima is the name of the Kulum tribe fighters. In his time the Kulum tribe struggled to defend the mermaid descendants from savage predators or human threats. Although their size was not as big as Appa, they were all formidable and reliable warriors.

“This is where I am called Wawan. But in the human world there is a manners of calling the older. Because I'm a friend of Appa you can call me Wawan.” Said the man named Wawan.

“Wahhh you have a human name.” Mara was amazed.

“You will also have. Yes, this is my wife. Rani.” Said Pak Wawan introducing his wife who happened to come out of the kitchen.

Human smell, that's the first Mara noticed. Women who may be in their 30s. With a sincere face and smile.

“Halo. So you are also one tribe with Wawan?” Said Rani while taking a sitting position next to her husband.

“Iya.” Pleased speech. Because in front of his eyes clearly visible that mermaid and human can be together.

All mermaid or merman who decided to live on the mainland, initially will be with Wawan if there is no place, and destination. To make it easier for them to live in the human world.

Service itself Wawan who offered Appa, because he knew very well the difficulty of adapting without knowing anything, living alone and no one taught.

“Please help Om Wawan.” Mara said with her hands clenched. That is the way their tribe respects the Bima.

“Certainly certainly. I have to be nice to Appa.”'s kid Legally.

“Have eaten?” Reciprocity.

“Tadi morning anyway I have eaten 3 fish.” Mara Sahut.

“You must get used to eating human food if you want to adapt quickly.”

“Ahh so. Ummm I can have grilled fish?” Mara was excited.

“By can.” Sahut Wawan's. Followed by his wife who immediately moved into the kitchen.

“You will be made ktp.” Wawan.

“What is KTP?” Ask Mara.

“Like this.” Wawan, reaching into his pocket and opening his wallet, then pulled out a card.

“See. There's a photo and my name . Human identity.” Wawan.

“Ohh so. It's called a photo. Where do I pick it up?”

“Tomorrow I'll take you to take a picture.” Wawan.

“Who am I impatient?” Mara was very excited to do what humans usually do.

Bu Rani then came by carrying grilled fish on a sizable plate.

“Try.” Wawan

Mara then picked up one big fish and wanted to eat it whole like she ate a fish normally.

The wawan reflex hit his hand as the fish almost came into contact with Mara's lips.

“Not so how to eat.” Wawan said telling Mara to put the fish back on the plate.

Then he took a spoon and fork. Explain by giving an example of taking fish meat and then separating the duration with a fork and spoon, then put it in his mouth neatly.

Mara watched carefully, trying to hold the spoon by grasping the tip of the spoon like a baby. It was very difficult to imitate him.

Finally Wawan taught by pinching fish meat with three fingers and then eating it. Looks like it's easier for Mara to replicate.

“Wahhh you are talented.” Praise Wawan seeing Mara who imitates rigidly.

“Fish life is indeed better.” Mara said after tasting the grilled fish.

But he felt there was a different taste of this grilled fish to the one he had eaten first with Summer. Of course, grilled fish in restaurants is certainly better for using spices and flavor enhancers.

While they were busy learning to eat, the TV at the restaurant aired news of Summer's victory.

“Summer Sea has finally chosen the successor of the company that won the election yesterday morning, and the chosen one is Summer Wicaksono, daughter of Rudi Wicaksono himself. At the age of just 20 years, making Summer very popular because of the achievements she obtained.” Said the news anchor while showing a video of Summer coming out of the election hall early morning.

Mara then approached the tv placed against the wall. His heart was racing, slowly he walked towards Summer's face which was on the TV screen. She was happy to meet Summer on her first day on land.

Seriate…
