My Uncle's Warm Bed
Season 2: Still Want to Be Here


The words of his brother, father and mother were still ringing in Aiden's ears. Their discussion of Luna was very difficult for her to get out of her head.


There was nothing wrong with their discussion, but Aiden could not understand how they could give advice that he thought did not make sense.


And because of the thoughts of the three of them, to the point that Aiden was difficult to sleep. And that's when Aiden saw Luna sitting alone on the park bench, and it caused a sign in Aiden's mind about what he was doing there.


Aiden moved out of his room and approached Luna in the garden. Being too late in his own thoughts, to the point that softly was unaware of Aidan's arrival, until a familiar voice was ringing in his ears.


"What are you doing here all these nights?" suddenly Luna turned her head and she was a little surprised to see Aiden's whereabouts.


"Ge, what are you doing here?" instead of answering, Luna asked back, repeating Aiden's question.


"You haven't answered my question, why are you asking?" eventually they throw questions at each other without anyone answering their own questions.


Luna took a breath. "I'm here because I can't sleep. I'm really upset, Ge. My college friends had a reunion and they invited me to come."


"Then what's the problem? Aren't you just gonna come, all right?"


Luna grunts. "But the problem is not that simple, they require that we bring our respective partners. The problem is that I don't have a partner. There's no way I'm taking Alex Gege or Eric Gege, 'cause they already know they're both my brothers." Luna. He was completely disoriented half-dead.


"So that's the problem?" Luna nodded. "Then I'll go with you. Hadn't they never met me before, you could have introduced me to them as your lover, you know, easily,"


Luna smiled broadly at the advice given by Aiden. The girl agreed. "Good idea, Ge. But it doesn't matter that you go with a situation like this. It's this weekend and you're still not getting better." Luna looked at Aiden worriedly.


Aiden shakes. "Absolutely not. Besides, the wound has also started to improve, and the possibility of swelling in my right eye is also gone. So I guess there's no problem." Tukas Aiden said.


Luna smiled wider. Now he doesn't need to feel Gegana anymore, because there's Aiden helping him. Fortunately, Luna had never introduced Aiden to her friends. So safe and in control. And fortunately Luna High School friends used to have no one with her.


"Now you better go inside. It's so cold, you can get sick." Pinta Aiden but is slapped by Luna.


"No, I still want to be here. You'd better get in first, you're still sick so you have to rest a lot." Luna.


"Then I'll keep you here. I just happen to not be sleepy." Aiden refused to go inside and chose to accompany Luna to see the stars.


For a moment silence enveloped the togetherness of the two of them. There was no chatter between Luna and Aiden. Both of them are still enjoying the star-studded night sky.


Millions of stars in the sky were flickering beautifully and were clearly seen by the eye. Millions, even more, scattered stars adorning the vast night sky now looks more enchanting with ornaments in the form of natural beads.


Aiden turned his head when he felt his right shoulder tighten. Luna rested her head on that shoulder. When the girl raised her face, the different-colored eyes of the two of them met and froze, staring at each other in silence for a few seconds.


And that eye contact was Luna herself who ended it when she felt a strange tremor when she looked into those eyes. Luna's gaze rolled on Aiden's fingers on the man's lap, then Luna raised her right hand and linked to the man's fingers.


"Why do your hands feel so cold?" Aiden spoke softly as he felt Luna's fingers feel cold.


"Maybe it's the air tonight that's a little bit cold." Answer Luna.


"That's why I asked you to come inside. Don't argue anymore, and this time I don't want to hear any excuses. Login now or~"


Aiden snorted and looked at Luna in amusement. He felt like he wanted to stick his head out. "Alright, I won't force you to go in again. What's so exciting about stars?" ask Aiden. He looked at Luna curiously.


The girl shrugged her shoulders. "Either. I just like it. And among all the stars that adorn the night sky. There were only five stars that caught my attention." said Luna.


"What stars?" ask Aiden curiously.


"Vega, Betelguese, Capella, Bellatrix, and Sirius" he said with a smile, evidence that he was really interested in the celestial object he mentioned earlier.


Aiden was silent for a moment, then asked the girl beside him. "What made you interested in those five stars?" and looked at him curiously.


"I love Vega because she's the brightest star in the constellation Lyra. If Betelguese is bigger than the sun, that's what caught my eye. Capella, the brightest star in the constellation Auriga," explains Luna. Actually Bellatrix isn't very bright, but I like the meaning of her name, the female fighter. Sirius, the brightest star in the night sky. Sirius is located in the constellation Cains Major, unfortunately Sirius has a less pleasant meaning. The 'big dog'." Bright Luna at length.


"So you know a lot about stars?"


Luna shook her head. "Not really," the girl replied briefly. "Then what about you, Ge? Are there any stars you like?" ask Luna curiously.


For a moment he was silent, but then Aiden smiled broadly, there was something he was thinking about, and he felt that something should be said right now.


"I don't know much about stars or other celestial bodies. But, there is one star that I like the most, and only I know about that star. Indeed he is not as big as Betelguese or anything, but he is the brightest star compared to Sirius," he said at length with a smile that was no less wide he was excited!


"really? What star is that?" ask Luna curiously.


"The star is..."


"...Ge, there's a shooting star!!" luna interrupted Aiden's words.


Suddenly a star shot out of nowhere, causing Aiden's attention to be instantly distracted. He turned to Luna who was closing her eyes while putting both of her hands in front of her chest.


He calmly uttered the sentence of supplication in his heart, so that no one would know what he expected at that time including Aiden. After he finished praying, he again looked up at the night sky enjoying the flickering of the stars and the smile of the moon.


The view that night seemed to be a stage in plain sight, which brought Luna to fly wandering into her mind. Moreover, plus the sounds of small animals and rustling leaves. He's lulled.


The hour hand showed at eleven o'clock in the evening. Everyone has wandered in their own sleep. Rest the tired body and mind from the activities they do that day. They sleep soundly so that tomorrow they are excited to stay with them in doing their respective activities.


They say that the night is more comfortable spent with sleep until tomorrow so that it can be said there are no other activities besides that. Yes, it is true that night is the time to rest. However, there is one who thinks another. Namely Luna, when people are asleep, she is still awake.


"It's late at night. We'd better go in now," Aiden asked and was nodding back by Luna.


This time there was no rejection. Luna was tired and wanted to rest. The two of them walked off the park and returned to their rooms.
