My cousin, Canduku
Slowly Away

That night, when Blue had just returned home, there were three women in front of her house. Blue does not know whether it is a student or not, because Blue does not memorize all their faces. But when the Moon came out, Blue knew it was the Moon's friends back then.

The face of the Moon bent and its steps were heavy to get into the car, if only he had not been forced, perhaps the Moon would not have left.

Seeing their appearance makes Blue so tailed. It turned out that they entered a pub that was quite famous in the city. Blue follows and finds the Moon drinking with her friends.

Then, Blue was infuriated by the presence of gay men who pulled the Moon away from the crowded place. Until the coercion makes Blue no longer able to hide. His heart was determined to protect the moon.

The Moon rebelled, asking Andra to let go.

"Andra fuck, pelin!" The Moon squealed, and he stopped as someone held his hand.

"Delivery."

A pair of Moon eyes widened as the baritone voice of a large man suddenly stood up as if to protect him.

Bluest. Yes, now he was facing the same high Andra, until the Moon felt Andra's hand take it off, replaced by a warm grasp of Blue.

"Ah. lo again." Andra clucking. He ruffled his waist, and now looked at the hand that was holding down there.

Moon, he's trying to digest all this.

Just sec. Andra is familiar with.. A blue?

Then he looked at Blue from the side. The man's jaw is hardened.

What the fuck. They.. know each other?

"What is your relationship with my girl?"

"A'ch.." Blue squeaks with laughter. Then he looked back, where the Moon was. "He's a lo girl?" His head turned again forward. "Don't you like men?"

Moon looked at Andra as the man still claimed to be her boyfriend. There was a scratch wound that returned to reveal when he had tried to close it. What did Andra mean by that?

"It's none of your business!" Andra garang. Showing a side the Moon has never seen before. "Getting off the moon, I want to talk to him!"

Blue looks back, making sure the Moon is safe behind it. The girl seemed to hold back her tears.

"The moon won't talk to you." Blue Tukas. Speaking in such a language style sounds a little strange in the ears of the Moon which usually hears Blue speaking formally.

"No Right to the Moon!" Andra cried beaver.

Blue Sermonai appears. Hearing about rights had indeed made him run out of words. But this sentence escaped his lips. "Obviously there. Because the moon belongs to me."

The moon instantly raised its face, staring at the hardened jaw and the sharp look of Blue on Andra. Moon believes he did not hear wrong. Mine... he said...?

"Don't be pretentious to be a hero to be a girlfriend pretending the Moon. I know the Moon is not a girl who easily switch hearts." Now Andra tries to talk to the Moon behind Blue's body.

"Moon, please. Give me a minute. I want to explain something to you. About the past, I want us to fix it, Moon. I'm sorry, I recently thought you continued. Can we talk, Moon?"

The Moon could feel Blue's grip tighter, as if forbidding the Moon to speak to Andra.

"I know I was wrong, Moon. I realized my mistake was fatal. But I'm gonna fix it. I. I want to change and only you can make me change, Moon."

Not only the Moon, even Blue can also judge that Andra's current speech is the truth. The vibrating voice, the look on your face, and the look in your eyes made things clear.

"Moon..."

But it did not make the Moon moved to discuss this again with Andra. Betrayed so makes his heart feel numb. Even Andra made her think badly of a man of her stature. The moon lowered, she cried without a sound.

What she felt was, Andra was playing herself. After everything that happened, Andra said she was sorry. Does he know how much he sacrificed for all of this? Not only property, but mental, family shame, and self-esteem are trampled, deceived about his feelings that have been 2 years. After all that, Andra wants to come back?

The blue that tightly grasped the Moon's hand slowly loosened. Somehow he felt sad, when the Moon was crying in the back. The Blue Cry cannot be guessed. Whether the Moon is happy because finally Andra is back, or vice versa.

"Moon..."

"I'm not a toy." he said, then walked away from the two men who were now silent about the situation.

Blue, after giving Andra an ultimatum, chased after the Moon. Looking for where the girl went.

After asking the people around, Blue finally found the Moon squatting and crying as if behind the deserted and slightly dark walls.

The moon only thought of a safe place for her to cry. His feelings are like slashed. She loves Andra very much. Will do anything if the man asks. Sacrificing many things even the Moon was very obedient to him. What reply did he receive? And after everything she's been through, Andra asked her back?

Blue is slowly moving. He tried to get closer to the Moon who no longer seemed to care about the surroundings.

There's nothing he's done. Just sitting next to the Moon, letting her cry over all the things that stifled her chest.

Blue was there long enough, quietly accompanying the Moon. Until the girl was silent and realized the man had been next to her for a long time.

The moon with a face, turned to Blue. One more thing, this guy also made it difficult. Everything he does makes the Moon unable to think clearly.

The gaze captured Blue well. He knew the Moon also needed an explanation about him suddenly kissing her this morning. And in order to eliminate bad thoughts about him, Blue also tried to explain it, although in fact Blue was confused how to make the Moon not think anything else about him.

"I know you want to ask me something."

The Blue Voice made the Moon turn its face in the other direction. This guy, do you want to play him too?

"Ask aja. I'll answer everything honestly..." Speaking Blue, back with a formal language style like a Moon lecturer.

The girl was still silent and reluctant to look at him. Moon dizzy, the problem piles up like this.

"Well, then I'll try to explain everything that's been going on lately." The word Blue is finally when the Moon does not also understand his words.

"First, I want to apologize to you, Moon. About this morning. I didn't mean...."

The moon closed its eyes. What would Blue say? Don't tell me that it's just a sudden lust, or something that should be forgotten.

'I am not a toy.' whispered the Moon to himself. It was enough Andra to play him. No more of the...

"I don't want you to be uncomfortable because of my behavior. I'm sorry, for being so sassy kiss you..."

There is a break from the Blue sentence. He waited for the Moon's reaction, but the girl was still unmoved.

"Moon, I have no intention of playing you."

Silent. The moon is breathing slowly. So many things are happening in the near future. The moon can't think of everything at one time.

But of all this, the one that is more dominant in the Moon's mind is now Blue. All his treatment, put the Moon on the verge of insanity. That man is his cousin. But what Blue did to her was like challenging the rules in life. Does he want to ruin family relationships?

"Moon, forgive me." Blue again. He would rather the Moon be so angry than so silent. Blue was confused, he was afraid of misdoing again.

The vibration of the phone in the Moon's grasp made Blue glance towards that flat screen. His name Andra was there. The man was still trying to contact the Moon when their relationship had ended completely.

"Month.."

"When it's over, I'm gone." The moon stood up and walked quickly forward. He pulled a taxi and left.

Blue breathed. He knew it would be hard to accept. Moreover, he did not explain why he kissed the Moon, because there is no reason that can be understood because he himself did not understand.

And from that day on, the Moon has always avoided Blue...
