---------------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Luna Putri Aryasa.
A name given by my father.
However, when I was ten years old, the name was taken away from me. My parents divorced and I live in an orphanage. They seem to throw me away as love between them is wasted.
And now, a new name has been borne by me.
Luna Kei Cecilli's.
A name given by my nanny while I was living in the parlor.
Stranger days and I went by myself. Just make friends with books of fairy tales and poems. It all went the same until I was a teenager.
I always imagined when those stories would actually happen to me.
The moment the white riding prince came to pick me up and take me away from the parlour. When he took me to enjoy the beautiful world of colour, until all the pain in my heart fell.
He ... a prince who would tell me,
"You Are The Apple Of My Eyes"
An English phrase used as the title of a novel by Giddens Ko.
A phrase that looks very simple with a meaning that seems ordinary. But behind that simple sentence, there really is a deep meaning.
'You Are The Apple Of My Eyes'
'You are everything to me, you are the most important thing in my heart'
Why is 'Apple' not 'Rose'?
Is not the rose always the symbol of love?
I don't know ...!
Until now I do not understand the author's intention to use the word 'Apple' in his expression.
Maybe because of the shape of the apple that is similar to the heart.
It's probable.
Lovely ...!
I want to hear him say that.
The white riding prince. I don't know where he's waiting for me.
-----------------------------------------
---------------------
"You Are The Apple Of My Eyes. Is this what you want to tell me?"
My heart suddenly felt hot as I read a line of pink paper, which Arga gave me.
"You ... are playing me, Arga?"
"No" he answered. "There is not the slightest intention to play you. I'm serious, Luna. Very serious."
Those eyes, they look sharp at me. His face looked so serious while waiting for my reaction.
"A .. I .. I can't."
"What?!"
"You ... we are different."
"What's different?" yells.
"Arga .. I don't want to discuss it."
"But I want to talk about it." He took my arm and made me come closer to him.
"What's different? Say it!"
You still asking?
Of course our situation.
Me and all the hassle of my life. While you .. you with all the ease of your life.
I want my lips to move and say that sentence. But my tongue was moody and made my mouth shut.
"I .. I want to go home. It's already night." I'm trying to distract. "Let go of my hand!"
"I'll let go when you answer. When you answer my feelings."
Our views clashed with each other. Squeezing my wrist. But it was my heart that actually felt crowded because of it.
"I refused" I said. "I reject your feelings ... Arga."
Slowly, he pulled his hand away from me. His gaze changed. His steps were pulled back from me.
"Good night, Arga."
I called a taxi and left him.
--------------------------
-----------------
CAMPUSES
"Why are you so weak?" sofi asked, as I put my head on the table.
"Just a little dizzy" I replied.
It's been three days since my meeting with Arga that night. He didn't call me at all, nor did he meet me at the cafe. No news from him at all.
Ah ...!
Why am I being all this?
I'm not a seventeen-year-old anymore. Better, I forget it. I don't want to get too involved with him either.
-----------------
"Are all the department representatives present?" ask the BEM chairman, who is leading the meeting.
"Sorry, I'm late. There was a class."
The arga?!
She's on the Prom Night committee, too?
"Okay, let's start the meeting!"
--------------------
He walked towards me. Our eyes met each other, but then he looked away. The seat behind me was empty. And sit him there.
"Arga, did you want to eat together? Or do it at the front cafe?" A college student approached him.
"He'em. Yes," answered Arga.
"Well ... Seriously, right? Okay, deh. I wait, yeah!"
Huh ...!
What care?
Who he wants to eat or coffee with, it's none of my business. He silenced me too, nothing for me.
---------------------------
-------------------
PROM NIGHTS
"Luna, Arga .. You're unemployed, right?" The show leader approached us.
"Please arrange the fruit and put it on the table of the lecturers in the front row, yes!"
"Yes" I replied.
-----------------
Jesus ...!
What the fuck?
Usually we will talk at length, why suddenly so awkward like this?
"Apple," he murmured, while observing the red apple he was holding.
For a moment, his eyes rolled at me. And I immediately turned away from him. I returned my hands busy with arranging the fruits on each prepared plate.
"Why do you think it should be an apple? Why not a rose?" tanyakanya.
"W-what do you mean?"
"You are the apple of my eyes" he said.
"Why not, You are the rose of my eyes?"
"Eitherway. I don't know what you mean. Quickly finish it before the lecturers occupy the seats!"
"Do you know or pretend you don't understand?" I drew my hand that was about to move from before him.
"That's it, don't go on anymore!" I said.
"Didn't yesterday, I gave you a very clear answer?"
"Yes," he said. "I told you I love you and you rejected me."
I was quite surprised to hear his words. He even said it without the slightest hesitation. Again he hit me with his sharp eyes.
----------------------
----------------
"Mas Argaaaaaa ...! I finally met."
A girl suddenly hugged Arga.
"You guys here?" ask Arga.
"Ah .. hello, Jesi," I said.
I know this teenage girl. He's the one at the bakery where I work. Name's Jesika. I just found out that she's Arga's sister. But the girl who was still clinging to Arga, I had never seen her.
"Why are you here?" ask Arga.
"Viona, that's the real thing" Jesika replied.
"I miss, dong same my future husband," said Viona, spoiled.
"Haha ... What the hell, anyway?" Arga looks to rub the girl's head.
They look familiar.
Husband-to-be?
"There's a cafeteria stand here, right? Eat first, yuk! Laper, here!" take Jesika along, while clutching my arm.
------------------
---------------
"Cobain, Mas Arga! It's delicious, you know." Viona feeds Arga a spoonful of ice cream.
In the end, I was stuck with all three of them. And I have to see Arga and Viona share the affection in front of me.
I think my chest is a little painful.
"Sister Luna, take psychology, huh?" ask Viona.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Wah .. I also want to major in psychology," he said. "Let's talk later if you talk to Aunt Rhesa, when Mas Arga and I are married."
"Hahaha ... basic, you are this!" Arga Laughter.
Arga seemed to be treating the girl gently. They're mismatched. Especially from an equal family.
"Sir Luna, is there a relationship?" ask Viona.
"Ah .. it ..."
Arga looked coldly at me. And I'm getting confused as to how to behave.
"Sir Luna is beautiful. Must be a lot of likes," praised Viona.
"hey are. Beautiful and good." Jesika extended her arm to my shoulder.
"Mas Arga must find Kak Luna a couple so as not to be single! Find something that matches like the two of us!" Viona wrapped her arms around Arga's waist.
"You guys just talk! Excuse me first. See you later, Jesi," I said.
"See you later, Ma'am."
---------------------

What's wrong with me?
Why do I feel so fucked up?
My feet stepped sideways to the side of campus. A swimming pool where students gather majoring in physical education and sports. I could see the ripples of Prom Night from this desolate place.
Argha ...!
He said he liked me, but the girl looked so intimate with him. I'm right, right?
What is serious about his words? From the beginning, he was intent on playing me. I shouldn't have believed his words.
---------------------
-----------------
Again, I'm alone. From the beginning alone and I don't have to care.
Be strong, Luna! No need to rely on others.
Cold ...!
The swimming pool at the campus is cold. To make my feet stuck in it look wrinkled. And made my heart feel so tight.
------------------
"What are you doing here alone?"
"The arga?!"
I nodded, standing up from my seat. How shocked, when he suddenly appeared before me.
"W-how are you here?"
"Luna ...!" I draw him closer to her.
"Why did you just leave? You jealous?"
"What?!"
"You're jealous of me and Viona?"
"Eng-don't. Why should I be jealous?" kilahku.
"You like me?"
"Well?!"
Don't shut up, Luna!
Why can't my mouth argue with him?
"You like me, don't you?" tanyakanya.
"No. I don't like it. Off!" I threw his hand out of my arm.
"I don't believe." He took my hand back.
"Take me off, Arga! Off!"
BYUR!
"Yes God! Argaaaa ...!"
Unintentionally, I pushed him into the pool.
"To-long," he said, trying to move his body.
"You .. Can't swim? Argaaa .. how is this? I ... I ..."
Whatever!
I can't let him drown. I have to help her.
And ... jump me into that pool without a second thought.
"Hah .. hah ...!"
Stuffy!
Nafasku .. so crowded.
"Luna's? Lunaaaa ...!"
---------------------------------
I felt my body being pulled out of the water. Something felt strong pressing down on my chest.
"Luna .. sorry! Luna ... sober up, dong!"
The arga?!
He survived. Thank goodness!
"Thuhuk ... uhuk ...!"
"Thank God .. Thank goodness!"
I felt the body hold me tightly. The tightness that I was feeling, slowly began to disappear.
----------------------
-------------
BEAM ROOM
"Can you swim?" my many. "So that was ... Just kidding?"
Arga looked down and nodded.
"Thank God. I was afraid you were going to drown. Because I can't swim, I can't help you."
"If you can't swim, why jump into the water? Stupid girl!" his yell.
I just smiled at her words.
"I'm afraid anything will happen to you. It's so scared," I said.
He threw my pndanagn with nanar. He looks so sorry for me. I don't like.
"Are you afraid of losing me?" He's moving closer to me.
"What?"
"You ... even willing to go into the water, even if you can't swim, for my sake?"
I nodded with tears in my eyes.
"You love me?"
"I-i ..."
"In your heart .. there's me, right?" tanyakanya.
"Yes. But ..."
"Nothing but." Threw my body into his arms. "I just want to hear that you love me. That'sthat's all. I don't need a word but."
Argha ...!
You made my tears fall, but it felt so peaceful.
The story I always read when I was a kid .. Is it really real?
Are you the prince, Arga?
"You are the apple of my eyes. And I will give you all of my life. I love you, Luna. With my whole heart."
