BEHIND THE TWILIGHT
Ch. 15

Luna was stunned to look at the father who had been silent in the guest room while staring at the main door. The eyes of the middle-aged man were full of worry. It was late at night, but he hadn't seen his twin since school a few hours ago. Maybe that was the main cause of the father who had been silent in the guest room staring at the main door not moving for a second.

''Dad? Lula hasn't come home yet?'' Walking slowly approached the figure of his father who only shook his head.

''Where exactly is Lula? Why do you often come home late at night?''

''I don't know Dad. I've always been in music, so I don't know where Lula is. He didn't go with anything extra at school.''

Right after Luna spoke, the sound of the roar of a car was heard entering the grounds of their home. It looks like Lula has returned home by being escorted by a car someone Handoko and Luna do not recognize.

''Whereare? No goodbye?'' Ask Handoko directly at the point. Lula glanced at Luna who was standing not far behind Handoko, casually clutching her chest as if waiting for what she would say to her father.

''Lula was asked by her upperclassmen to tell her what Luna likes, and what Luna does not like. He wanted to shoot Luna Well, and I was told to tell her everything until this late,. Sorry Lula Yah.'' Said Lula with a look down. Luna gasped to hear the words of the brother who often made the act, shouting inwardly to mention all the oaths that he addressed to his brother.

Handoko turned to look at Luna who was now on standby to put on her flat and cold face, Who else? A ember?''

''Kan Lula being asked this and that, why ask Luna?''

''You are liked. Not Lula!''

''Luna doesn't know Dad!'' Luna's snapping is not to blame. Luna stared intently at Lula who was now smiling curiously at her. Back to feel victorious because Luna who get reprimand.

''Other times, don't want Lula. Let it be taken care of the same concerned. You do not follow along, '' Message Handoko staring back at his favorite child. Luna who saw that just rolled her eyeballs in annoyance, she then turned to step towards her room. Don't want to hear anything Lula and Handoko have to say anymore.

He glanced at his cell phone on the table, then looked for Bara's number. After that, he sent a message to the handsome young man, Brother, just met Lula huh?''

There was no answer for the next few minutes, making Luna smile wryly. Is it possible Bara? Thought in the heart.

''Udahlah, tomorrow only ask him.'' Mumbled Luna then moved towards her bed, lying down while staring at the ceiling of her room. His wry smile expanded abruptly, remembering the one figure that had always defended him. But now, ''Mom, are you happy there?'' his murmur was unable to stem the tears.

A stream of small rivers burst into the girl's eyes, making her slightly sobbing from the longing that suddenly burst into her heart. ''Mom, why is it so fast that I left Luna?''

Seering has now the breath of the little girl who is always scolded by her father. ''Mom, I haven't changed. Luna thought, after Mom's departure, I'd love Luna too. Turns out it was just Luna's bow.''

Continuing to rumble while patting his chest that still feels tight, he heard a message notification ringing from his phone. However, not a single inch he moved from his position to touch the flat object. He was still troubled by emotions that he could never pass on to anyone. His pillow was wet because of tears, he took and then he sprang it over his face. Hope the sobbing he felt did not sound louder.

Wanting to roar, scream, and beat up whatever was in front of him so that emotions that burst out because of justice that he never got all this time, but did not. Luna couldn't do it all, or her father would come and rebuke her harder than he already did.

So, the more he cried, the more he wanted to fall asleep quickly. His eyes were so heavy that he could no longer hold them open. ''Mom, help me.''

''Gue wants to talk to Lo.'' said Bayu then using his chin, he gave a code to walk to the rooftoop on the roof of the school building. Bara who did not want to be too far away from his two best friends immediately rushed to follow. Although in his heart he was eager to meet a girl who had been the last two days he had not met in a short chat though.

''Actually, why are you avoiding that? You're angry because I bet on Lo?' Say Bayu shortly after the three of them arrived at the place they always used to gather and determine the target.

''Do not like Bara, we are already from Junior High. Did you forget? Is it just because Luna Lo is staying away from us?'' Leo's chirp that had just been silent, and now his speech was right to make Bara react. ''Gue asked Bayu, why does this bet continue to live even though I have withdrawn from this bet?''

Bayu gasped at Bara's words, as did Leo. ''Lo know where?''

''Gue knows everything. I also know Lo merainin Lula to approach Luna, with the lure of the car. Aye? Why is Lo so obsessed with approaching Luna?'' Bara cringes near Bayu, making Leo react immediately to prevent the two from getting involved in an argument.

''Don't squabble. We're talking well, it's not yet home.'' Leo reminded his two friends. Make Bara immediately stop stepping, then sit on a sofa that he always wears. Not looking at his two best friends.

''Gue already said the same Lo both, make no further this bet. I know Luna's parents. My parents could be threatened if Om Handoko finds out I made a toy.'' Bara said with a flattened chest.

''This is the thing I don't like the most, Bayu. You always make what will be Lo's will,''

Bayu gasped for the second time, But because Luna Lo is away from us Ra. Lo always approached him, Lo rarely kantin and choose to see Luna practice singing. Or, Lo always went home first just to nganterin Luna to her front house. You never go to this place again. Lo changed since I knew Luna.''

Bara woke up from her seat then stared intently at Bayu, 'Udah time I changed. To get what I want.'' He said flatly and coldly, and his sharp gaze continued to be on Bayu. He then stepped down the stairs quickly, leaving Leo and Bayu still there silent. Only a pushy gaze released the departure of the friend who felt had changed.

Luna was stunned when she found Bara standing in front of her with a warm smile that was always reflected in her memory. ''The Bara? Lo what?''

The warm smile on the lips of the handsome young man faded, changing with a smile of anxiety until his index finger flicked the forehead of the beautiful girl covered with dense hair that is often called the bangs of the bowl.

''Call me Brother Bara!'' Luna grimaced slightly as she rubbed her forehead, ''Yes Iya kak Bara.''

''Lo's eyes are all why?'' Bara asked looking into Luna's eyes by tilting her head slightly.

''Cry last night, miss Mom.''

''Samperin aja kemakamnya,'' Luna nodded while smiling at the proposal of handsome young man in front of. ''Oh yes, sister, yesterday took Lula away until night?''

''Lo haven't seen my reply yet?'' Luna shook her head slowly, desperately hoping that the answer Bara gave was the word YES.

''Gue yesterday meeting osis, finished it home. Not anywhere,''

SERIATE...
