The Eternal Fragments of Moonlight
Chapter 20: The Radiance of Sight


In the teacher's room, Ronny sits between Laras and Alan. Facing Bu Mustika who is now sitting in his office chair. Since it's time to go home from school, almost all the teachers are in the room. I could see Susi, Gun-gun, and a few other teachers stealing glances from their seats.


"Mother Mustika, what's going on?" Ask Bu Susi while looking at the three students who are responsible for it.


While carrying another folding chair and allowing Ms. Susi to sit next to him, Ms. Mustika also explained what happened to Ms. Susi. About the commotion that happened in the previous class.


"Well now explain, what's going on until the three of you make a fuss?" Ask Miss Mustika.


After a long wait, none of the three disciples spoke. Bu Mustika looks impatient but is reluctant because there is a Susi Bu beside him. He kept knocking on the table with a pen. While Bu Susi looks disappointed looking at the three students.


"So here's the..." Alan finally spoke. "It wasn't really that important, Mom. The three of us misunderstood a little. I'm sorry we made a fuss."


"Yes, but the misunderstanding is why?" Mrs Mustika seemed dissatisfied with the answer.


"That's..."


Alan looked down and then fell silent again. Eventually, Laras spoke.


"Sorry Mom, it's a personal matter."


I saw Miss Mustika clucking without a sound. He actually already knew what reason caused the commotion in the classroom earlier. Let alone that, he already knew everything. About the background of the relationship between us, about time travel, also about Mira.


As long as I told her in the Physics Lab, Miss Mustika seemed to be very sympathetic to me. Over and over again when I told her about my love for Mira, she became passionate and tried to comfort me with subtle words. So I can assure you that he's more inclined to side with me than Alan.


"Hmm, okay." Said Susi Bu. "If this is a personal matter, you should immediately solve it in a good way. In the future I don't want to see you guys making a fuss like this. Understood?"


"Ba, good Mom." Alan Sahut.


I saw Miss Mustika clucking again. He was not satisfied with the end result like this. But how else, Susi as their homeroom teacher has decided not to prolong the problem.


"Then you can leave now." Said Mrs Mustika. "And you're Ronny, you stay. Auntie still has business with you."


I think it's great that Miss Mustika chose to use the word "tante". This way Laras and Alan won't grow suspicious of Ronny.


Alan was saying out, while Laras just went sewot. Susi also came home after a brief pleasantry with Bu Mustika. Until finally there is only Ronny and I who face Miss Mustika in front of her desk.


Miss Mustika started asking what Alan and Laras had talked about before we both came. After Ronny explained in detail, we finally concluded that the two of them had not realized that Ronny could actually see me. Even so, I kept reminding them never to take things lightly. Especially Barrel.


"Gue never lose," I said. "If the barrel has other abilities than to repeat the flow of time?"


Ronny nodded then looked at me seriously.


"Good horror, Ron. Barrel, he can read someone's primbon."


"Primbon?"


"Yes, he can see the future of others. But this ability he can only wear at night. When the moon is shining. The more perfect the moon's shape, the stronger it's got."


Ronny's stunned. So did Miss Mustika.


"Well that's the problem, because now Laras is suspicious of the same elo, how do you try if he had to read the primbon lo, Ron?" My next. "The baby she's wriggling elo in the future is talking to herself while mentioning my name. What do you think he'll think?"


"He. he must have thought that I could squirm lo."


"Well, until he knows you can squirm at me, does that mean?"


Ronny shook his head while keeping his mouth open.


"That means, our plan to thwart him from repeating the timeline is going to get harder! He'll be on guard all the time."


"Oh."


"Okay, so gini Ron." I positioned myself closer by sitting on Ms. Mustika's desk.


"My original plan, I also want you to hide the circular statue that is on the altar of the main temple. Lo ingetak, I tell you that the statue is a tool used by the same barrel I made to repeat the timeline on Wiwitan Day?"


"Yes, I'm snot." He said while glaring.


"Well, without the statue, Laras would not be able to repeat the flow of time."


"Hey wait, you want me to take the statue?! Crazy, where can I be? It's a ditaro statue in the middle of a woi temple! There will be a lot of people there."


"Can Ron, can! I have a plan... But since Laras is suspicious of you now, I need a new plan."


A teacher named Bu Wida passed by in front of us, then said hello to Bu Mustika. This made our attention so distracted.


"Better we continue the conversation somewhere else." Bu Mustika said while cleaning the equipment on the table. "The point is, we need a new plan to stop Laras, right?"


"I, yes." My solute. "Eh, wait a minute, so Miss Oppai wants to help me too?"


"Yes dong, you are also a student. I'm also very interested in your story. It just so happens that right now Mom is writing a scientific paper that has to do with the theory of space and time."


"Well, it's a spell if it's that! Oppai is the best!"


Miss Mustika left the teacher's room and I followed her from behind. Arriving at the door, I realized that Ronny was not around. I turned around and found him sitting in his chair.


With a look of surprise that was really sad he was surprised to see me. Her lips moved like they were talking but without a sound. After I noticed, it turned out that his lips formed a word pattern. Oppai?!


 


For the umpteenth time our trip was stopped due to a red light. Now the three of us were in Bu Mustika's sedan. He's headed to Ronny's house to drive him home.


"How's Aji? I think that's the best plan for us right now."


"Hm."


During the trip we discussed various plans. Until finally we agreed that Ronny just tell Alan about the timeline that has been repeated 7 times. Plus also information about Laras who can repeat the time flow and read primbon seoarang.


That way Ronny will get help from Alan to stop Laras. At the same time making Laras unable to investigate Ronny because automatically Alan will try to protect Ronny as well.


"After all, I agree." My word. "Yes, in fact, males also have to cooperate with 'She'. But yes, it seems like this is the most relevant plan."


"Sip, then we will discuss the details later after arriving at Ronny's house."


Furthermore, Miss Mustika insists that Alan must be willing to help Ronny stop Laras. Who wants to be stuck in the same wheel of time. Everyone wants to continue their future.


"Except Barrel." Added Miss Mustika. "This is what I still understand. Aji, what exactly is the purpose of him continuing to repeat the flow of time?"


I was silent too. I don't really want to answer that question. It's just, I don't think it's the right time. I was afraid that if I told you the real reason for Laras now, it could be that Miss Mustika and Ronny decided to turn away from me instead.


"It must have something to do with your current condition, right?" Further.


I looked out the window before answering. "Yes." Yeah."


The car returned after the green light. I looked out at the people walking on the sidewalk. How much of the future was delayed by my actions and Laras repeated the timeline. Not to mention how many people have to repeat the suffering they have experienced. I don't know, thinking about it made me think about how big of a mistake I had made.


"Hmm Baras yes... Actually, just look at the mother immediately likes the same child. Especially his eyes."


"The eye?" Ask wonder.


"Yes eyes. If you see the eyes of the child, you will remember the same as the late father Mother. They both have the same eyes."


"Hoo."


"So her father's mother was TNI. He is often Indonesia's representative to the United Nations in conducting humanitarian missions to various conflict countries in the middle east. You may have heard of it, its name..."


"Toto Rusdiman Gantari." Cut me.


"Yes, Right!"


I think almost everyone in the school knows that Ms. Mustika is the daughter of a national soldier who died while on a humanitarian mission a few years ago in Syria. The news of his death was indeed a national news at that time. Make his name sound all over the country.


"Well this Baras, I see he's got the same look in his eyes as his father's mother."


I saw Bu Mustika glancing towards me who was sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror of the car.


"So are you, Aji."


"Huh?! Actually, the time of my eyes is equated with the frozen eyes of the Pigtail Two anyway?"


"Haha, are you squirming her eyes why? How do you say frozen?"


"Yes, see for yourself. The Baras would often masang look cold in front of others." Ronny responded.


"Hmm, eyes are frozen... Haha if you think about it it looks frozen anyway. But the point is you guys do have the same look in the eye. That's why when Mom saw you for the first time, I was willing to bother listening to you tell a story. Because I love the same look you in the eye."


"Eh? So Miss Oppai likes me?!" Ask enthusiastically.


"Hot his eyes yes, not the person!"


"Ah, if Ronny, Aunt Oppai likes Ron too... Adaw!" Miss Mustika immediately pinned her head with a bottle of mineral water on the dashboard of the car.


"Don't be rude! You think aunty doesn't know what oppai is, huh?!"


"Ta, but that's Si Aji, call Oppai's mother ngak aunty angrurin... Aww!" Mustika came back to catch him.


"If it's Aji, Auntie can't say anything about him! So yes justin is he like that, just assume not to hear anything."


"Si, fucking lo Ji!"


I also laughed at the behavior of the aunt and nephew in front of me. At this time the car has turned towards the residential area where Ronny's house is located. Miss Mustika started driving the car at a slow pace.


"Well, back to the previous discussion." Said Mrs Mustika. "It's Mother's not making it up, Ji. You, Laras is also his father's mother, the three of you do have the same look in the eye. "


We arrived at Ronny's house. Mrs Mustika stopped the car right in front of the fence. Then she turned around to look at me from the steering chair. Then ask.


"And you know Aji, what kind of person has eyes like yours?"


I also shook my head.


"Such an eye, it only belongs to someone who has witnessed so many deaths."
