Moonlight On The Sea's
New Year's Eve

Today is the night before the year changes, a lot of things happen but at least the turn of the year will be a quiet day.

Summer's house is very crowded. Tapa has even undergone his maturation ceremony and is now at Summer's house along with Mara, Rio, and Nindi.

That night they were just having fun with successive eruptions of fireworks and laughter accompanying them. Soon Summer will also age right on January 1 in the new year.

“Tante Ayu's. Why bother bringing lots of food. But thank you.” Summer said cheerfully to see Bu Ayu coming along with her husband.

By bringing his legendary cuisine in the hands of Pak Bagas, bringing joy because no one does not like Bu Ayu's cuisine.

Rio, Nindi and Tapa were seen having fun in the corner of the yard with fireworks, and in the middle of the barbeque burnt grounds were still lit. The table and chairs were enough for the 6 people who had attended. There is no need for a lot of decorations because Summer's yard is beautiful as it is.

Nindi immediately took the plate to try Bu Ayu's cooking. He was the first to open the food box.

There is a menu of Spaghetti, skutel macaroni, and burnt chicken wings. Everything looks tempting but which one to eat first, Nindi is confused.

“Well I can eat everything later.” He shook his head. Food is happiness. He had just eaten a barbeque and complained of a glut.

“Ummm! Mom Ayu is so good! I am grateful to be able to eat Bu Ayu's cooking every day!” Nindi smiled with her mouth full.

Bu Ayu frowned while smiling.

Rio from that corner who played fireworks with the men, finally approached Nindi who was seen praising his mother's makasan.

“Hmm every day?” Tanya Bu Ayu collected a puzzle that he had not been compiling, namely the secret of Rio always brought his cooking to meet friends who do not know who.

Rio who heard that was immediately startled and closed the mouth of Nindi who was still chewing food, making Rio's hand so amused. Immediately he pulled his hand because that attitude made the face of his parents more sinister.

Bu Ayu and Pak Bagas now looked at Rio with judgmental gazes.

“Hehe has arrived Ma, Pa.” He smiled stiffly.

“Iya. You saw Maman dateng earlier.” Sahut Bu Ayu Ketus.

“Oh yes.” Rio's getting awkward.

But the awkward air did not make Nindi disturbed, she still enjoyed and tried the other menu that Bu Ayu brought.

Mara and Tapa finally joined the dining table and participated in tasting the food that Bu Ayu brought.

Tapa who has just tried human cooking, is still trying to adjust to the richness of the taste. He tasted and tasted.

A very strange attitude, because everyone looks like a monster fighting over Bu Ayu's cooking.

It is a joy to be able to gather with the closest people at the end of this year. It is unimaginable that this will happen because last year Summer passed it by working and working.

“Photo yuk!” Summer wanted to capture this happiness.

It felt like the calm before the storm.

In other homes the conditions are different.

As of this moment Clara was alone and asleep in her room. Praman does not know where to go, it has been 3 days he did not return home.

Well he's in the house well no, no sense of the mingling. Even at home, Praman just kept silent and did not communicate. Sometimes if there was a sound heard from his mouth only the mockings and shouts along with the sound of items being destroyed.

*****

The house of Yura Wicaksono.

Yura, Harith and Jenni who have improved their condition, they together eat at a restaurant that Yura had booked 2 months ago to encourage her daughter.

Although everything becomes stiff because Jenni is not as happy as before, but the love and attention of Yura and Harith continue to be channeled.

This is the first day Jenni dares to leave the house after treatment at a therapist for several months. But still very careful because Jenni like a glass on the edge of the table. With a slight movement, the glass can fall off and break.

The scandal about Jenni is slowly receding, but her return to the world of entertainment will be impossible. Not knowing what she will do to live, the worry makes Jenni relapse many times.

He was not even given access to open a cell phone, computer or TV for his recovery.

Just the day Jenni opened her eyes soberly at the Hospital, having almost died from the medicine she was taking. He was still trying to kill himself by holding the scissors.

Harith in Jenni's room didn't know what to do. If she ran to call the doctor, she was afraid that when she turned around a little Jenni would do the khilaf again.

Jenni who was holding the scissors with trembling hands and a frightened face. The infusion hose was still attached to his hand, so the pole fell due to Jenni's movement away.

Her tears kept dripping from her chin, her lips quivering. The eyes that looked at Harith were like they wanted to apologize because she had let her father down.

Harith with all doubts stepped slowly closer to her daughter. Harith was terrified and panicked. Near her daughter who kept crying without saying anything. Harith weakened her kneeling in front of Jenni. Crying without a sound, yet sweeping her tears.

“Jenni. Papa's afraid. Sorry Papa.” Said while looking down.

“Papa is stupid. Even today Papa does not know what to do so as not to lose Papa's daughter.” Harith with her trembling voice finally let out a sobbing and looked at Jenni who was standing frozen with long hair covering her face.

“Jenni. You know, Papa loves you. Please Jenni. Papa is selfish. Papa asked for this because he was afraid. Papa cannot live if Papa's daughter decides to die. Please forgive papa. Please don't put this up.” He pleaded, but Jenni kept bowing.

“It's okay like this. Papa's still here with you. It's okay everyone doesn't understand you. Papa will understand. Trust the same Papa nak.” Harith pleaded desperately.

She was afraid that all the feelings she expressed would keep Jenni from changing her mind.

Jenni's hand weakened, the scissors she was holding now fell to the floor. Harith immediately stood up to run to his daughter.

“Mafin Papa.” He said stroking Jenni's head which had hidden her face behind long hair.

Jenni slowly let out a trembling voice and cried violently. Harith realizes part of what Jenni is going through could be because she knows how to help her daughter.

As her daughter continued to cry wetting Harith's shirt, Yura entered with the doctor.

“Tak apa.” Said Harith to Yura who looked worried and scared.

From then on, Harith tried to cover the mouth of all the media with his efforts. And pay more attention to Jenni than usual. So did Yura who spoke softer and lowered her ever-high tone when speaking. From there Jenni felt she was still loved, slowly she opened her heart to give herself a chance to live.

The next day Nindi came home with Rio as usual. But Rio could not stop by because Bu Ayu and Pak Bagas had told him to go home in the morning if he wanted to stay at his Summer night home.

Nindi went up to her room on the 2nd floor. Her feet suddenly stopped stepping to see Clara standing at the door of her room.

Seriate…
