Reaching the Moon
Chapter 33

...There is someone who is no longer mine, but I still consider mine. Ah yes, she has never officially been mine, and the funny thing is, now she is destined to be with another woman....

...I'm just an ordinary woman who has sincere love. It's not easy for me to let go after my struggle all this time, even between life and death....

...Auras...

...________________________________________...

In town A, a,

A woman walks into her house at night dragging her suitcase. The look on his face was so sad, his eyes twinkled and filled with tears.

Not long ago he felt excited to return to reach his hopes and dreams that had been delayed. However, everything is now broken by the fact that managed to make his world collapse instantly.

..

That afternoon in town B,

"Zam, I want you to marry me as soon as possible, if you have to tomorrow. I'm afraid that if I postpone it, a new problem will appear just like that time" Aura asked with a hopeful smile towards Nizam.

Nizam looked at Aura with a sad look and then let out a listless breath. "Sorry, Aura. I'm ...."

"Why are you, Zam? You still love me, don't you? You still have dreams of building love with me, don't you?" cecar Aura with a gaze demanded an answer.

"I used to have that dream, but that was it. Now things are different. I'm ..., I'm married."

Deghs

"What's? Don't you joke, Zam!"

"I'm not kidding. Moon, she's my wife. We just got married about a month ago," Nizam said honestly with a downcast face.

Aura stepped back, her eyes began to dew, and her lips seemed to tremble, until without realizing it her body had fallen to the ground because her legs were instantly weak.

"Aura, I'm sorry." Nizam bent his knees in front of Aura. Seeing the tears of the woman his heart grew even more painful.

Not without reason. All this time, never once had he hurt Aura let alone to make her cry. Today, a sad gaze, a wound look was seen in Aura's eyes, and it was all because of her.

"Your staff, Zam. For more than a year I struggled to recover and be able to return to realize our dreams, but it turned out that dreams were only mine. You were married in that short time. I suspect you don't love me." Aura's tears began to flow down her cheeks.

"No Aura, no! I used to love you so much. Getting word of your death even made me fall. But then I was reunited with the Moon, it was she who re-awakened the spirit within me. I'm sorry."

"But I'm alive, Zam! I'm still alive!" yelled Aura right in front of Nizam's face with tears flowing more and more. His heart really hurt to accept that painful fact.

While Nizam can only say sorry many times, I don't know how many times he said sorry. The man's tears were now dripping involuntarily over his cheeks.

All the scenes full day that lasted quite a long time, until finally Aura decided to immediately leave the house to the airport.

..

"Have you come home, son?" silvi's greeting as Aura arrived in the middle room.

Aura stopped her steps then silently looked at her mother and father in turn with her eyes getting dewy.

"So, is this why mom and dad told me to forget about Nizam?"

Silvi and Ali stared at each other for a moment and immediately approached the only daughter without saying a word.

"Nizam is married, Nizam has forgotten Aura. Though Aura had only been missing for over a year. Is that how quickly he's diverting his love?" asked Aura in a hoarse voice.

"Nature ...." Ali hugged the princess affectionately while gently rubbing her head covered in a veil.

"Braise your heart to accept God's destiny, son. You know, right? Allah has ordained the soul mate in Lauhul Mahfuz. I'm sure your soul mate is a better person than Nizam" Ali said, trying to calm Aura down.

"But why did God bring the test to Aura in such a way, Father. The aura is not strong? Hicks." The aura further submerged his face and spilled his tears on the father's chest.

"Dear." Silvi hugged Aura. "You are a strong woman, God loves you. He wants to raise your degree through this test, son," Silvi continued.

"Yes, Son. Allah will not put a test beyond the ability of His servant. Raise your heart, son. Behind the test, there must be a great wisdom that God is preparing for you."

That morning Nizam took the Moon for a walk to enjoy the weekend at the amusement park. As the doctor suggested, he wanted to add good memories with his wife so that bad memories could fade little by little.

Clearly visible wrinkles on Nizam's forehead that indicate if he is currently a lot of thoughts. However, apparently the Moon's gaze was caught by the man's tail.

"Am I so handsome that you look at me like that?" Nizam's question this time managed to make the Moon misbehave and immediately turned her face out of the window without making a sound.

"If you have any related questions from yesterday, please ask your heart to be calm. Holding something alone is bad, you know!"

The moon turned back to Nizam who was now refocused on driving. Several times he opened his mouth to start talking, but many times he also closed his mouth again.

"That's the mouth why is it? Just say it, honey."

Nizam's affectionate call to the Moon always managed to make the woman's heart flowery, calm, and feel loved. However, still, he was confused as to where to start the question.

"Darling?" Nizam called back to the Moon who was still silently pensive, making the woman a little surprised.

"Sir Aura, she ..., she's the wife-to-be you told me about, right, Mas?" ask the Moon at last.

"Yes, right."

"Keep, what ..., is Mas okay after finding out if he's still alive?"

"Of course, I'm fine, my body isn't hurt in the least." Nizam replied while groping all over his body showing that he was fine.

"No, that's not what I meant, Mom. It's about your heart."

Nizam turned a glance towards the Moon so that he could see the look on the face of the wife who seemed to demand an honest answer from her.

"My heart's fine, honey. There's nothing to be concerned about. Now I have a wife. So, my heart must have been filled with flowers from my wife." Nizam rolled his eyes towards the Moon until the woman's face reddened with embarrassment and misbehavior.

Although short and simple, but it is undeniable that the Moon's heart feels calm and happy after hearing the answer from Nizam.

The journey continues until they arrive at an amusement park that is quite crowded by visitors. Various rides and games are now visible as far as the eye can see.

Nizam and Moon stood in front of the amusement park's gate. Not forgetting he opened his arms hoping that his wife would take him.

However, seeing the doubtful and fearful expression of the Moon, Nizam finally said, "If you are afraid to hold me, can you just hold onto my cloth? I want to make sure you're safe along the way with me."

"Oh, i-yes, Mas." The moon finally reached out her hand and grabbed the cloth that was on Nizam's arm. They started walking as usual.

When viewed from afar, Nizam seems to be being held by the Moon. But the truth is not like that. Although impressed there is a barrier between them, but Nizam tried to be patient and smiled to accept it.

Nizam invites the Moon to ride some rides that are relatively safe and more entertaining. The man's efforts apparently succeeded, during the ride, the woman was always smiling to laugh, and it was enough to make him happy.

Now the Moon stopped her steps with Nizam when in front of her was a large panda danced. More precisely someone who is wearing a panda doll mascot. Enthusiastically, Moon immediately pulled Nizam's cloth over to the doll.

"You like her?" asked Nizam and got a nod from the Moon.

"Since childhood I have loved the panda doll mascot, Mas" replied Moon.

"Do you want to take a picture with her?" Again the Moon nodded excitedly then walked to the side of the mascot.

While Nizam asks someone to take their picture, then walks next to the mascot. When Nizam saw the mascot's hand about to embrace the Moon and himself, Nizam immediately rounded his eyes and dodged, then spoke near the mascot, "Hey, are you a man or a woman?"

"I'm a woman, sir."

"Then embrace my wife and don't embrace me."

"Oh, fine. Mr."

The photo with a married couple mediated by the panda doll mascot was finally successfully taken. Nizam unceasingly looked at the photo with sparkling eyes because the Moon was smiling so happily there. He even immediately made the photo as his phone wallpaper.

A few days later, at a hospital in town B. Aura was handling a patient who had not come for control for a long time. Although not excited, he still tried to show a sincere smile to the patient. However, he did not want to mix his personal business with work.

Aura now opens the patient's medical history to see the history of allergies and what drugs were often prescribed by the doctor in charge before. However, when looking for the name of the patient who started with the letter B, he accidentally found the full name of the Moon there. He clearly knew, because the Star once explained its full name and the Moon when it introduced itself.

After examining and prescribing the patient, Aura reopened the Moon's medical history. How shocked the woman was to learn that the Moon had a history of PTSD. A smile rose on the beautiful woman's face, I don't know what she was thinking at the moment.
