Moonlight On The Sea's
Richard And Nindi

Richard looked around, there was absolutely nothing accompanying him. He could only look up at the ceiling. He was disappointed, hoping that his parents would accompany him while dying so. His life was tragic, nothing went well at all.

A policeman came in and saw Richard was conscious.

“Halo. Hello!” He waved before Richard's eyes.

Soon the police called the doctor.

“His head was hit by a mild cerebral concussion. So maybe he'll have a hard time talking for a while.” The doctor said after checking.

“Good thanks, doc.” Tell that policeman.

“Richard. You can hear it, right?” The policeman brought his face closer to Richard's.

Richard's eyes bulged, he hoped not to be disturbed at this moment.

“Richard. We will ask you some questions.” The police asked to speak again.

*****

The next day Praman decided to hold a press conference, to dispel all the bad news that would carry his name.

Praman came to clarify that his name was not bad and he could still work without being chased by journalists.

As Praman enters the hall filled with reporters, immediately the camera flash turns on taking a picture of Praman.

“Thank you. Here I as the Director of the Summer Sea Company apologized for the bad events that occurred. I neglected to take care of the child. I'll make sure my son follows the law as it should.”

The reporters immediately asked questions.

“What Director has absolutely nothing to do with this incident?” Said one of the reporters.

“Absolutely did not know there was a fight between my son and the Chairman.” He washes his hands out of the incident.

Praman does not speak for long, he only comes to say he has no business with Summer and will let his son be punished according to his crimes.

*****

Richard watched the live event. He had already guessed his father would throw it away, yet he remained shocked. Is there such a lack of love as a parent? They don't even wonder how his son is doing.

Suddenly Nindi enters Richard's room. He saw the state of his brother, at least he was already human. From the moment he arrived, his brother was still unconscious. Nindi went back and forth from the campus and the hospital.

Nindi approached and turned off the TV featuring a video of her father's press conference.

“You've eaten?” Ask Nindi.

“You're coming? Why?” Richard didn't know how to behave.

“Of course. You're sick again.” Nindi Sahut.

“For what care?”

“I always care, you don't care.”

“Hah! You must hate me for torturing your friend.”

“Of course!” Ketus Nindi's.

“Come to eat. I brought food.” Connect Nindi.

“Out.” Richard doesn't want to be sweet. Because he's not used to it.

Nindi did not care, she kept opening the food box containing fried rice.

Richard was very angry. Throwing food in the hands of Nindi, until the food was spilled.

Nindi was stunned for a moment looking at the food strewn on the floor.

Nindi crouched down and gathered the fried rice into her box.

“Sangly. This is the best fried rice I have ever eaten. He said while collecting.

After that Nindi then took a spoon and bribed into her mouth the scrap food from that floor.

“Lo crazy?!” Shouted Richard.

Nindi kept eating and swallowing without a care.

“Nindi!” Richard was inexhaustible, his sister behaved so strangely like a sucker.

Nindi shed tears, her chewing stopped, her breathing became heavy. Nindi cried with her mouth bulging.

“Emang you are crazy.” Said Richard sleeping on Nindi's back.

“I know, I'm not a good sister to you. I know you suffered a lot from childhood. But I can't help or shove you in the least. We have parents who have absolutely no idea how to take care of their children. I'm sorry, I'm just as useless.” Nindi.

Richard remained silent.

“Your food I put here. Eat please. I'll be back tomorrow to eat together. If you throw my food away, I'll eat it anyway. I consider it a punishment for me for not being able to help you all this time.” Nindi said and then walked away.

Richard remained in his position, but his tears fell.

*****

Clara in her house continued to frantically walk back and forth. Nindi has not been home for 2 days. Praman went home only to get angry and slam things and then left. Clara is alone at home with an anxiety disorder. He had already swallowed a 3-grain medicine today to alleviate anxiety yet he remained so instead of growing limp and tremble.

*****

Nindi herself did not want to go home, she chose to live in a small boarding house near the campus. He can not stand living with a home atmosphere that is not like home.

They are very isolated, everything is about Praman and Praman. His father was always looking for a way to save himself even though it was sacrificing his family. His family's priority has always been Praman.

It was too bitter to be in that big, cold house. Nindi prefers to live alone with the situation. He also went to apply for a part-time job near his college for daily necessities.

Despite that, Nindi was calm. No need to be burdened by the word “Brag parents”. Nindi is ready to break up with her parents.

The next day Nindi kept showing up at the hospital to have her brother eat together.

The fried rice he bought last night had already been dumped in the trash. But Nindi's spirit to approach her brother did not subside.

“Come to eat.” He brought out food.

“This time it's roasted chicken. I can't buy expensive food so eat potluck yeah. Later if I accepted work I will treat you good food.” Nindi opened the food box and put a spoon on it.

Richard simply fell silent unresponsive, sleeping on his back. Nindi ate but Richard's food remained intact untouched.

“You can die if you don't eat.” Nindi.

After eating, Nindi put Richard's food on the table next to her bed.

“Later tonight I'll come again.” Nindi then left the room.

Richard sat down and looked at the food he had put on. His stomach is hungry. He took the food and tasted a little.

“Good!” His complaint. But it still eats until it runs out.

Richard returned alone, the police came to interrogate him. As before, Richard remained silent until the police were tired.

Richard repeatedly looked at the clock on his phone. It was dark outside but Nindi had not yet appeared. Richard was finally waiting for his brother. He tried to get off the bed pulling his infusion pole and walked looking out of the bedroom window.

From a height it looks very busy outside. People are pacing back and forth with their own busy lives. The clock is indeed a solid hour for people to go home activities.

Hearing the door of the room open, Richard immediately turned his head in excitement.

“Huh? You have started walking.” Nindi said with a bag of food in her hand.

Richard then approached and sat down on his bed with a henchman.

Nindi opened the food box and put one in front of Richard.

“Menu this time telor omelette. I bought it in warteg near campus.” Nindi.

Richard frowned because the food did not look attractive at all.

“Do not choose.” Nindi said and ate her food.

Richard cleared his throat and bribed the food into his mouth.

“Not good!” His word.

Nindi only replied with a smile.

Actually they are not rich from birth, but it has been a long time since they last ate economical food. Around the age of 10 years Richard, Summer Sea became a big company and made them all rich family, his lifestyle changed drastically.

Despite complaining about the taste of the food, Richard chewed it and finished the meal. Nindi smiled happily.

“Besok bring good food, why the hell?” Dumel Richard after the meal was over.

“Should have said thank you!” Ketus Nindi's.

Richard mendehem because his brother's words were true.

“I haven't been home in a long time.” Nindi.

“Why?” Ask Richard.

“I feel calm living alone. You also know our house is like hell.” Nindi Sahut.

“Where do you live?”

“Ngekos himself. You can stay with me. Ah I mean, just stay with me.”

Richard fell silent, knowing that after he got out of the hospital, he would go to jail. But there was a sense of pleasure when he heard Nindi invite him to live together.

“Sorry. I didn't mean anything.” Nindi said she was afraid to offend Richard.

“Later to see me often.” Richard said without seeing his brother.

Nindi smiles, “If I'm not busy ya.”

“Don't get too tired working.” Richard said as if he were not. Words of care had never been spouted from Richard's lips before.

“I must be tired. But I'm happy.” Nindi Sahut.

After being seen from the other side and with the current condition, Richard only realized Nindi was a cool sister. He can decide to do his own thing, and he can make peace with his circumstances. That's what Richard learned.

“I'll sleep here.” Said Nindi cleaning up food waste.

“Apaan anyway!” Said Richard.

“Ih I just bargained you stay with me, now you can't even let me sleep here? In my room it was so quiet to know! There is no AC. I'm just using a fan.” Nindi mendumel.

“Ya yes up.” Answer Richard.

Nindi casually slept on the sofa with her bag. Actually he did not want to go home because he wanted to accompany his brother before tomorrow being taken by the police. It's their last day together.

Richard looked at his brother who was sound asleep.

“He easily falls asleep.” Mumbled.

The infusion hose attached to his hand was removed to be free to move. Then Richard lifted his sister to the bed. Although tomorrow he would be taken by the police as a suspect, Richard felt there was peace in his heart. Knowing there was one person who cared, made her feel her life was precious.

Richard then slept on the sofa, and early in the morning he was taken away by the police. Richard did not even have time to say goodbye to his sister because he could not bear to wake Nindi who was asleep.

Seriate….
