BEHIND THE TWILIGHT
Ch. 27

This morning, Bara has looked very neat and fragrant with a pride uniform suit. Looking back at the mirror, he smiled very wide.

"Surely Om Handoko has given permission for me to be close to Luna." He said confidently.

Then, he walked down the stairs with a carefree whistle. His gaze collided with the look in the eyes of the father who had just pocketed his cellphone with a long sigh.

"Papa why? Any issues?" Tanya Bara approached the father who is now sitting in a long chair.

"Bara, Papa wants to say something to you. Maybe you will refuse. But, this really can't." Speak the Word by looking at Bara. While the young man just silently waited for the middle-aged man's words.

"When you graduate school, we have to move abroad, baby. You continue your studies in America, son?" The Word is like a great disaster to one Bara. Imagining her days without Luna would definitely be very lonely. Would empty. Will return as gloomy as when he has not met the girl pujaan.

"Why did we move Pa?"

"You know Papa's boss, don't you, son? Mr. Handoko's name. He opened a branch of the company abroad. And Mr. Handoko entrusted Papa as the holder of that company in America."

Bara nodded small while smiling gamang. "Yes, Bara left first, Pa." Saying while kissing the back of the hand of the Word, then moving towards his motorbike with a sigh of carelessness.

Riding his motorbike at high speed towards a house he hoped, the owner of the house had not left his residence to work.

"Om Handoko!" Shouted Bara when he arrived at the residence of someone he was heading to. Seeing the middle-aged man he wanted to meet almost enter the car to slide into his office, he yelled in order to stop Handoko's steps.

"Mara?"

"Why did you come here? Luna has left. Want what?" Said Handoko still standing on the doorstep of his car. Waiting for the arrival of Bara who walked towards him.

"Om, why did Papa Firman move to America?"

"Oh so you're here to protest?"

"Om, I thank you for giving a high position to Papa Firman. But why in America?"

"Why? Why don't you seem to like moving out of this city? You're going to college in a big bara."

"Om, Bara is already big in this city. It's hard for Bara to leave everything."

"Bara, your father has had enough. If you live in this city, you will have no trouble finding food. Your father will definitely transfer a lot of money to you. Not coming with your dad is no problem either. I just need Word working in my branch office."

Bara sighed for a moment before continuing his protest which Handoko did not understand at all. "Om, I feel like my world has been different since I knew and became friends with Luna. If I moved to America, I would lose it. If I lived here alone, Papa Firman would not have given me permission."

Handoko chuckles cynically hearing it. "I told you, you can't get close to my daughter. You can be friends again if you are both established. Don't make me angry and do nothing to the Word." Said Handoko firmly.

"Damn! Why do I have to fall in love with Luna? Why do I have to meet a girl whose castles are taller than mine!" His complaint with annoyance. He put his fist into the air with a stirring emotion.

"Luna, have you come? I've heard from Laras that you're not allowed to enter the race, are you?" Cecar Bayu quickly. He came to the girl who had just come out of the Limousine, even so excited he met with Luna and asked various questions, he said, the young man was until unconscious if viewed with sharpness by Lula who was next to Luna.

"Hi Lula." He said as he noticed the unusual gaze from Lula. The girl looked extremely violent today, her eyes filled with sharpness and coldness. Bayu to feel wrong behavior because it was stared so sharply by Lula.

Without answering Bayu's words, the girl who looked fatter was stomping her feet in annoyance and then left Luna and Lula just like that.

"I think Lula likes Lo." Luna looked at her brother's departure with a sick heart. Seeing Lula's reaction so Bayu always comes to him makes his heart hurt. The only happiness that Luna felt at this moment, it made Lula even more hate him.

Bayu shook his head while holding the girl's hand to enter the main gate. "Not to think. So, how's your dad doing?"

"Dad changed his mind, Brother. Yesterday, Bara helped me talk to Dad."

"Bara's? Why should Bara? You can ask for help with me Lun."

"Dad knew the Bara Kak family. So I thought, it would be easier for Bara to convince Dad that I was just training for the race. No fuckin' shit."

Bagu gave a small nod, feeling inferior to Bara because the young man actually knew the Luna family more deeply. I was able to approach Luna's father boldly. While himself? Just dare to be behind the scenes.

"I want to be close to your father Lun too. If there's anything, you tell me yes." Pinta Bayu by stroking the top of the head of the soft girl. Smiling sincerely to Luna is the daily life of Bayu at this time. Moreover, stroking the cheeks and also the head of his twin sister Lula is something that he always wants to do at all times.

Nodding lightly, Luna smiled so embarrassedly towards Bayu. All Bayu's attention to him really made his heart fall too deep. He had so desperately yearned for Bayu to be someone he wanted to look at at every moment. Every day, and every day.

"Sister, you really love me, don't you?" Luna asked innocently, until Bayu stopped his footsteps towards the girl's class.

"Why Lun? You doubt?"

Bizzing, Luna then held onto Bayu's hand tightly. "I'm just afraid of losing you when I'm really in love with you."

Bayu chuckled lightly hearing her, he then held onto Luna's puffed cheeks and gently stroked her. "I love you. Don't think strangely. I promise I won't stay with you. I'll approach your father to give him permission to be with us."

Luna nodded enthusiastically. "Yes Brother! I concur. I also hope that my first love will be my husband." His words were full of heart beating.

Imagining a distant dream ahead with someone he loves turns out to be fun. Especially if someone also supports what we have always wanted.

SERIATE...
