"Rhes, is Luna still counseling at your place?" ask me when we had breakfast together.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Did he come in for counseling yesterday? How's condition?" ask the curious looking papa.
"Yesterday he didn't come, not yet his schedule. Now he only comes twice a week because his condition is already much better. Wh why? How come Mas Dirga looks so worried?"
"Ah, no. Just ask," replied papa.
I got a little distracted with papa's attitude just now. His face also looked worried. After all, tumben once papa wondered about Luna's counseling. I became curious. Looks like there's something papa's hiding.
-----------
"Pa, I'm with you, yeah." I said as I pulled on papa's car door.
"Not a motor?"
"No. Just be lazy," I replied.
"Well, how will it be? Papa can't pick me up, yeah. Papa's got a meeting."
"That's look. Just relax!"
Papa started the engine and started driving. Actually it's not lazy to bring my own motorbike to campus, but I want to find answers from my curiosity.
"Pa, why did you ask your mom about Luna's counseling schedule?" my many.
"Oh? Just want to know."
"No, Papa doesn't usually do that."
the CEO of Mahesa Corporation seemed to smile in response to my angry words.
"Arga, if you meet Luna, ask her!"
"Ask what?"
"Ask him if he's okay?" said papa.
"What's wrong with her?" I asked back.
"There's nothing, it's just .. ehm .. yeah, just curious," replied papa.
"What's suspicious, you know?" my murmur.
Papa laughed again without heeding my words.

CAMPUSES
"See you later, Prince."
"He'em." I waved as the white car moved away from me.
Soon I'll drop my pants pocket, and grab my smart flat. Kuscrol contacts the alphabet 'L' and I press the caller button.
"The number you are calling is inactive. Please try a few more moments."
I snorted in annoyance. I tried up to seven times to answer only the Mother Operator. Where exactly is the owner of this number?
--------------
Half-running I climbed the stairs to the psychology classroom. Kuhampiri Sofi, who is a close friend of Luna's.
"Luna, isn't there?"
"Not come yet" Sofi replied.
"Yet?" I saw a silver watch curled around my wrist.
It's almost hours his class came in. He's not usually late.
"If he comes, tell him to call me, yeah!" I said.
"okay."
--------------
At the end of the school day, there was still no word from him.
My feelings are getting more unsettled. I went to the cafe to look for him.
"He didn't come home? Seriously, Om?"
"Yes" replied Sony.
"Is the stuff still there?" my many.
"still. Lock the room he's got."
"Last before he left, what did he say?" my search.
"He was out there buying a book, he said."
"Books? Where's he going?"
----------------
------------
Many times I still tried to call her number, but there was no answer. I'm getting anxious and worried.
Where is he?
Why can't I be contacted?
Did something happen to her?
Ah, crap! Negative thoughts started filling my head.
-----------------
------------------------
It's been three days and there's not a single clue.
"Sofi, is there any place he would go, other than his old boarding house? I'm from there and he's not there."
"I don't know either, Ga" Sofi said.
"Actually where is he? Why did it suddenly just disappear?"
"What place?" I'm just impatient.
"Home of his mother."
---------------------------
--------------------
A single room apartment is quite luxurious. I shook my head a little. If it was true that her mother lived in such a luxurious place like this, why did Luna live so hard?
"May he be here." I endlessly muttered as I climbed the elevator towards the third floor.
I extended my hand to press the bell in the apartment that Sofi showed me.
"The arga?!"
There are! The girl was standing in front of me with a very surprised expression.
"W-how did you get here?"
"Who's coming, Luna?" There was a scream from inside.
"Nobody, Ma," said Luna. "Arga, get out of here! I'll call you later."
"No. We're talking now!" reject me. "What's wrong? Why did you leave the cafe? Why did you skip college? Why aren't you answering my phone? What was? Did something happen to you?"
"I beg you, Arga. Get out of here!" the door with a frightened face.
"Come with me!"
"What?!"
"I don't want you here" I said.
"Ta-but---"
"Who are you?"
A woman suddenly approached us. Her facial lines are a bit like Luna's. Only, he had a sharp eye highlight and looked a little scary.
"Who are you? Want what?" tanyakanya.
"Mama, she's Luna's college friend. She was about to leave, really," said Luna with a pale face.
Her mom? So he's the one who's made Luna's life so miserable like this. The girl looked absolutely terrified in front of her own mother.
"I came to pick up Luna" I said.
"What?" The woman looked at me in wonder.
"Wait first! Why do I feel familiar with your face, huh? Have we met before?"
"It doesn't seem like it, Auntie."
"What's your name?" tanyakanya.
"Arga," I replied. "Arga Mahesa Rizaski."
"Ma-Mahesa said?!" his screeches.
Especially now? His look at me changed. He looked so shocked that he covered his mouth with his fingers. His sharp eyes peeked at me from the tip of my foot to the tip of my head.
"Well! It's so amazing. Haha .. hahaha ...." He laughed with eyes so sharp that he intimidated me. "So, you're from the Mahesa family? Are you Dirga and Rhesa's son?"
"Yes?!"
He knows mom and dad. He mentioned their names without any hesitation.
"What's your relationship with Luna?" tanyakanya.
"Ma, I told you, me and Arga just--"
"We're close," I said. "We're more than just friends."
"Daughter?" inquiringly. "Crazy .. crazy .. This is crazy! Haha ...."
He laughed and looked strangely at me.
"Did your mother know you were dating?"
"Yes" I replied.
"Once," he nodded. "Did he know that Luna was my son?"
"meaning?"
"It doesn't seem to know yet, does it?" A smile she showed me. "Go home and tell your beloved mother that Luna is my son! Tell her, Luna is the dearest daughter of a woman named Clara!"
The loud sound of the door slamming accompanied the passage of them from before me. There was no result I could get by coming to this place. There, I was more worried about the state of Luna and also the curiosity that arose about Luna's mother who turned out to know her mother and father.

DIRGA HOUSE
"Mama, I have something to ask you."
"What's up, honey?"
"It's about Luna" I said.
"Hem? What's wrong with her?"
"Ma, I just met Luna's mother and she--"
"His mother? You met his mother?" Mama looked very surprised and I just nodded in confusion.
"How's Luna doing? Did something happen to him? Did her mother do any violence to her?" My mother greeted me with various questions.
"Eitherway. But I don't feel calm" I replied.
"Take car! Get mom there!"
"Huh?! Ta-but---"
"Arga, even though Luna's condition had started to improve, but if she met the source of her pain, she could act extreme again. Mama had to take him away from her mother. At least for a while."
------------------------
------------------
That very night, I took my mother to the apartment owned by her mother Luna. Seeing the tears of my mother's face that seemed anxious, my mind also floated everywhere.
Mama nodded at me, as if giving me the order to press the silver-colored doorbell.
"Why are you still seeing your father? I told you not to meet that trouble-making guy!"
"Luna never met papa, Ma." Luna's voice came from inside.
"Dare you see him again, mama's gonna send you to a mental institution."
---------------
"Open the door!" Mom suddenly shouted and banged on the door. "Luna, you're inside, right? Quickly open! If not, I'll call the police."
Before long, Luna's tear-soaked face appeared in the doorway and let out a hug.
"Mr Rhesa!" her crying.
"Are you all right, honey? Cool out! It's okay." Mama tried to calm Luna who was crying hysterically in her arms.
"Rhesa Dayana Princess. That's incredible!" The woman patted both of her palms while smiling sinisterly. "Long time no see, Mrs Dirga Mahesa Rizaski."
"Claras?!"
