Today is the third day of the beginning of Sunday in the third month, seen a woman in a light blue t-shirt is doing some work on the porch of the house. Wrestling with carpentry tools, is nothing new for a young mother. He does various kinds of handicrafts, uses chemicals and often allows his hands to be injured. All done for the sake of supporting his three children, without wanting to complain.
Luna, a beautiful woman who is often considered a hard-hearted woman, a woman who can still smile despite the endless difficulties of life. The scorching sun accompanied him today, working on the order of the one who should be delivered tomorrow. In addition to working in handicrafts, Luna still has to write at night. Collecting little by little money, in order to provide a decent life for his three children. Luna still has a family, but she doesn't want to depend on them.
Let alone hanging his life as well as his three beloved children, living with Luna was quite embarrassed. If not the wish of her father, Luna would have chosen to live in another house and raise all three. Luna knew both her parents and her sister had thought a lot about her life, although laughter was often shared. Yes, who will know about the heart and mind of a man, besides the man himself and also the Creator.
Luna works at night, and day works. As if there is no day without busying yourself to scavenge the rupiah. When he was letting go of the body stung by the heat of the sun, there was a car stopped in the same yard. Get off a man clad in a white t-shirt, long black pants and a black backpack. The head was covered with a black hat, walking over to the woman who was looking at him while presenting a smile.
“So I'm home? Says it's afternoon?” he reprimanded, stopping work for a moment.
“You don't know it's so hot?! Are you afraid of being black?! Have eaten?! Which kids?!” the tall white man.
“There are so many if the nanya, aja dong. The kids are sleeping, just fifteen minutes ago, I was deliberately hot, let it dry quickly. You want to be taken tomorrow as the same person,” replied Luna.
“Eat ... why not answer?” ask again men seem to squint both eyes because of the blazing sun.
“Hehehe, dong this morning. Kan was breakfast together,” cengengesan Luna.
The familiar man called Aldo, took a deep breath. He pulled the back collar of Luna's shirt and dragged her inside. Not caring about the protest given by the woman who held the front collar so as not to choke it, Aldo took her to the dining room, pulled a chair and sat Luna there.
“Wait here! Dare to run away, I fired you!” threat firmly.
Luna pressed her lips, she grumbled softly. While Aldo went to the kitchen, after first putting a backpack in the chair next to Luna sitting. Washing his hands and seeing if there was any food in the kitchen, Aldo prepared a plate of food for Luna. Incidentally, the housekeeper had already cooked for lunch and was only enjoyed by the twins as well as her grandmother.
“Wash hands, it's dirty out of work.” Luna showed both her palms.
Aldo shut up, took the phone in his pants pocket and turned it on. He will not leave before making sure himself if the food he took was eaten, he knows what kind of wits from Luna to be able to continue the work. Although he had to threaten dismissal, he willingly did. It was clear that Luna would never allow herself to be fired, or income would be reduced and require her to find a new job. Whether until when his life like this, Aldo was unable to understand.
Sometimes he feels sorry, but all is not shown. Know if Luna does not need mercy, but support to be able to move on with life. I don't know how to hold back his tears to not spill, how well he set his heart to keep smiling. It was very desirable for him to be able to know all that, in order to understand what his mind path was like as well.
What he wants, what makes him happy, all cannot be understood very easily. The expression shown is always the same, laughter is often heard. Maybe that's the way to strengthen yourself, the way to survive by building your own happiness. That's also how to look okay, even though the eyes never lie with his lips. Not infrequently he laughed, made jokes, but both his eyes implied sadness and fatigue.
Aldo knows that Luna never wants to be helped, which is why she gives Luna a job and gives her own bonuses. Every post sent on schedule will be given a bonus by Aldo. That was the way the man helped ease the burden of the woman who had managed to intrude on his heart. But Aldo, too scared to have another relationship with Luna. He was afraid of a breakup later, he was afraid of a devastating fight at any time.
Luna had started to enjoy eating, sesap by sesap she put in her mouth. Of course, with the usual behavior that gets rid of vegetables like a child. Aldo glared at him while clearing his throat, Luna pursed her lips and scooped the vegetables she was scooping. Not all kinds of vegetables he does not like, just broccoli. Sometimes, he gave it to Aulia secretly while eating together. But if caught, it will also be taken more by anyone who sees.
His attitude like that, it makes Aldo interested in the mother of three children. Sometimes he smiles himself when he knows the silliness of Luna and when the woman must be found out to have gotten rid of vegetables or insistent on work. He is more like a child when he is with family, but also becomes an adult by advising his daughter or facing a problem. Like two different personalities, but that's Luna who always gives her own color in the house.
“Time to eat it eat, time to rest it breaks. Not all the time you use for work, understand?” aldo said after the food on the plate ran out.
“What's the point of Lun, having a lot of money but being sickly? Have you ever thought about children who will be sad to see their mother sick? When do you want to get to gini?” he added while offering a glass of water.
“Iya, tau. But I have to work for them, I have to be able to give them a better life. I know the limits of my ability,” said Luna, took a glass of water and then he sipped until no rest.
“Take it in the front bag, there are vitamins for you. Drink every day,” Aldo pointed to his backpack. Luna did not dare to open, she picked up the backpack next to her and gave it to Aldo. The man sighed, glanced at Luna who was smiling at him and took the vitamins he had bought while returning home from college.
“Still, Brother. Well, no need to replace, right?” seductive Luna, take three bottles of vitamin C on the table.
“Aulia I picked up,” Aldo said and left the dining room.
Aldo left Luna alone in the dining room, walking every step of the stairs to his room. Luna smiled at his passing, the man who never wanted to be seen caring and still showed a cold attitude every time.
