THE FLOWER NEXT DOOR CAFE
"So, who's that girl?"
After I went out with Luna, I met papa at the cafe. Of course it was beyond my expectations. Because usually, papa will not appear in the cafe during holidays. Papa would prefer to stay at home or accompany mama shopping.
But today .. was an unexpected surprise.
"Arga, how are you quiet? Papa was asking you," asked papa when we were just the two of us in his room.
"He ... Luna," I replied. "Teacher friend Arga," I continued, looking down.
"Friends only?" inquiringly.
"Ah .. it ..."
Huh ...!
I never lied to my parents in my entire life. I felt my tongue suddenly groaned when I wanted to reason.
"Arga?"
"He .. is more than a friend" I replied.
"Daughter?" ask papa.
"He'em," I nodded. "But .. has only been two days."
If scolded, I resigned. I had a lot of girlfriends all along, but nothing serious. And papa knows about that.
But about Luna .. somehow I still hesitate to reveal it to them.
"Why can he stay here?" ask papa.
"Arga forced it."
"For you to be free to meet him?"
"No," I said. "No, Pa. It's not like that."
"Then?"
The man I respected so much looked deeply at me. The answer that will come out of my mouth.
"He ... often beaten his mother. I brought her here so her mother couldn't find her."
Papa just shut up. I lowered my head slightly to confirm his reaction to my answer.
Duh ...!
I'm getting tense. This was the first time he had such a serious face in front of me.
"Arrbs ..."
Papa got up from his seat and walked up to me.
"Papa doesn't want to interfere in your world, just so you don't make trouble" he said, patting me on the shoulder. "But, it would be nice if you said all this to mama."
"Why not angry?" my many.
"Rather than being angry, papa is more worried" he replied. "You've dared to run away people's children, that's very worrying. There's no guarantee that you won't go over the line."
"Good, Papa!" myrag. "That there is no mind that far."
"Oh yeah?" inquiringly.
"Well," I replied annoyed.
"Haha ... Papa knows. And Papa trusts you, little prince," he said, throwing a smile at me. "Don't break mom and dad's trust! You gotit?"
"Yes, okay."
"I don't know, it was a feeling yesterday that you were four years old. It's already big. Dare to take another child away, "his god.
"Stop, Pa! Arga didn't take her away, anyway," I said. "Arga just wants to take care of her."
"It soon turned out to be her wedding wish. I see, right?"
I just chuckle at papa's jokes.
"Come, out! Papa has to go home quickly" he asked.
-------------------
----------------------------
I followed his steps. She always looks perfect in my eyes. The father I admire so much.
One day, I want to be as wise as him. Being a faithful man is like being loyal to your mother.
"Will you come back?" ask About Sony.
"Yes. I have to take Rhesa out" replied papa.
Papa is seen observing Luna who stands beside Om Sony by continuously lowering her head.
"Luna ...," call papa.
"B-yes ... Sir," replied Luna who looked tense.
"Hahaha ...," papa laughs. "What do you call him, Son?"
"I? They call me Om-lah," replied Sony.
"Well .. Why am I called sir? Do I look that old?" ask papa while rolling her eyes at Luna.
"Ah .. ma-sorry" said Luna. "I ... just ..."
"Oh my goodness .. adorable," said papa. "Mirgin ..."
"H-yes?"
"Hahaha .. so sweet."
"What?!" exclaim Luna.
"See you later" said Papa, patting Luna on the shoulder and leaving.
--------------------
-------------
"Help ...!" The girl breathed heavily. "Is your father angry with our relationship? I can take it, if we have to ..."
"Src ...! No one told you to argue. So ... shut up!" I said while putting my index finger on her lips. "Pope isn't angry, really."
"He'em," I nodded. "Luna, would you not if I told my mom and my family about you?"
"What?! Ta-but ... Arga ..."
"They .. good people. I want you to feel what it's like to have a peaceful family."
The girl seemed to develop a smile on me. His eyes look glassy looking at me. And my heart feels very peaceful to see it.

OFFICE COUNSELING TEEN
15.30 WIB
"Come, Ma .. It's night, nih!" I pushed the door to my mom's office. "Luna?!"
I was flabbergasted when my gaze collided with those beautiful eyes that I had always missed. He looked surprised to see me coming, but then, a smile appeared to adorn his face.
"Wait a minute, Honey! Mama finish her counseling Luna first, yeah!" said mama.
"O-okay."
A little awkward, I sat in my mom's living room. I opened the magazine in front of me to distract myself from them.
"Arga, can you make warm tea mama without sugar? Mama's throat is a little itchy. It looks like a little flu."
"He'em."
I walked over to the dispenser and did what I asked.
----------------
"This past month your development has been good, Luna," said Mama. "Have you been laughing a lot lately?"
"Ah .. it ..."
"Laughter is good. You should have more fun to reduce stress! Yes ... For example, a walk with a girlfriend might."
"Aaaargh .. ouch .. hot!" my yelling.
"Why are you, Honey?!" exciting mama.
"I-this .. got hot water," I replied.
"Jeez .. be careful, dong! It's okay?" ask mama to worry.
"Yes. No problem," I replied, flushing my hand with water from the washbasin.
Scroll my eyes on Luna. He seemed to frown at me, before then it was seen being chuckled to observe my misbehavior.
That's why mom asked Luna such things. It just makes me awkward.
-----------
-----------------
"For some of the drugs I've reduced, yes. The others were still drunk" said Mama.
"good. Thank you, ma'am," nods Luna. "Then, excuse me."
"Luna, you're going to work, right?" ask mama.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Yes, just be with me!"
"What?!" Luna seemed to throw a look at me.
"We, it's unidirectional. Arga's got his papa car, all right. Come on!"
--------------------
------------
And be Luna in one car with us. Just imagine how awkward we both are.
"You're a college, right?" ask mama. "Are you guys close?"
"Near?!" myrag. "Ah ... it .. ehm .. we ..."
"I know Arga because he's quite popular on campus" Luna said.
"really?" Mama seemed to be squinting her eyes at me. "Did Arga have a girlfriend?"
"What?!" cry Luna. "So-about that ..."
"What, anyway, Ma?" sahutku. "Kepo is a mother."
"Yes .. mama, you want to know. What kind of girl do you like, if you have a boyfriend, for example" said Mama.
Ever since I was caught walking with Luna back then, I really begged her not to tell mama. I need to be mentally prepared and the time is right to talk to this hard-eyed, sharp-eyed woman who's my papa's wife.
"Indeed Miss Rhesa wishes Arga was close to the girl who how?"
Spontaneously, I set my sights on Luna who was on the back bench.
What's wrong with her?
Why throw questions like that at my mom?
"Had Arga fallen in love with an ordinary girl how? An orphan girl with nothing? Is ... It doesn't matter?"
Mama looked dumbfoundedly at Luna. But soon he regained control of himself.
"Why are you asking like that?" ask mama.
"Just imagine, ma'am," replied Luna.
"I was very curious about a fairy tale that I always read as a child. A story about Cinderella. A prince who falls in love with a poor girl. Then .. they lived happily ever after. Is there such a thing in this world? Will the prince's family bless and be able to accept a girl who is not from a respectable class like them? Or precisely ... unfortunate fate that the girl will receive? If true, then the Cinderella story is just a lie. It's just a dream that can't be realized in the real world."
----------------------

"Thank you for the ride."
---------------
After dropping off Luna at the bakery where she worked, I went back down the road to the house.
"Not stopping by anywhere else, are you, Ma?" my many. "Go home?"
No answer from my mom. He was silent with a confused face.
"Ma! Mama ...!"
"Yes?"
"Dreamy? Why?" my many.
"Arga .. You're not in love with a Cinderella, are you?"
