BEHIND THE TWILIGHT
Ch. 51

Today was the day Luna left for a place she had always wanted to avoid but could not. The capital city of Moscow is the largest country in the world. However, despite the many beauties in the country, it still does not make Luna feel comfortable there. I don't know, or maybe it's just because the girl hasn't found her yet.

His heart was filled with this city. The city that so many incised the wounds of the heart, only a little happiness in it. And yes, the girl admits that happiness doesn't last long. All her happiness was lost by her first love.

"Luna, are you leaving now?" handoko asked as she stepped into the room of the child who was cleaning a small table on the side of his bed.

"Callong? Where'd you get the necklace?" re-launched the question when the girl was wearing a pretty necklace around her neck. And, just today Handoko saw the necklace draped around the neckline of the girl.

Luna chuckled for a while, then nodded. "From Bara." replied the girl quickly. His brain turned back to the incident where Bara came to his house and then said goodbye to leave this City. Going far away to the place that until now, Luna did not know where the young man was.

"When did he give you the necklace?"

"First, last time before Bara went to America.''

Handoko nodded her head, not wanting to ask anything more about Bara and her daughter. Let it be kept tight by the girl. Seeing the beautiful girl had never asked Bara since the last 2 years made him sure that the girl had completely forgotten the young man.

But today, all of the father's beliefs were lost shortly after he saw the necklace the child was wearing and an explanation of who the necklace came from. "Are you sure you want to go to Russia now? Don't want to spend your time here?" ask Handoko at the end.

Grabbing the girl's suitcases and small bags, then dragging her out of the room followed by a steady step from the child's tiny feet. "When do you want? It will also go to Russia, right?" luna refused subtly. Feeling free also linger for a long time. Wh-wh-what for? Isn't there nothing else he should defend in any place?

"Come, we're leaving now." take the father while opening the door of the Limousine car that always accompanies Luna starting from leaving until school.

Staring once again at the house that had been together for years growing up, the shadow of a middle-aged woman with her curly black hair was reflected in the eye peluk Luna. The shadow smiled, then waved at the girl.

'Goodbye, ma'am, I'm leaving this house and this town. Looking for a new life, and opening a new page in a country that is foreign to me.' the inner girl smiled bitterly.

Then, Amara's shadow disappeared. Along with the change of the shadow of a young man sitting on the sofa of the living room. It looks like the smile continues to expand along with the girl's gaze that is blocked by tears.

"Once again, forget everything. Come on in" said the father, pushing his daughter's body into the car. Then, the middle-aged man sat down next to the girl, closed the car door, and told the driver to rush to an airport that would take Luna to the neighboring country.

"What are you going to do there, Luna?" ask the father while looking at his daughter. The one being looked at turned to look at the window. Look at the crowded streets around him. His fingers continued to stroke the heart-shaped pendant around his neck.

"Maybe to Daddy's company" said the girl as usual. Breath again appeared on the surface, making Handoko increasingly look at her daughter with worry. I feel something is always hidden by the child.

"If you're not ready to go to Russia and take care of Dad's company, don't force it. Maybe you still want to have fun? Out of the shackles of school?" bargain the father, but the girl just shook her head.

"Luna will soon find Uncle Hiato, then learn to take care of Daddy's company."

"You didn't go to college?"

"Can be thought of later." concluded the girl cut off their light conversation.

"Dad sure you weren't looking for Lula?" ask the girl suddenly. Staring at his father who was now changing let out a long sigh.

"Dad's forgotten about Lula."

"But he's Dad's son."

"If he was Dad's son, he should have obeyed what Dad said. All for his good. But, he broke it. Not listening to Dad. More obedient than Dad. Let it go." concluded the father who still keeps the endless heartache.

"If so, let Luna find Lula." break up the girl with confidence.

"Make what? You want to babysit her child? Want to be a baby sitter Lula? Serving the bad girl?" cecar Handoko felt his chest was already kembis.

"Dad, I just want to see my niece. He's Dad's grandson too, right?"

"It's up to you." break up Handoko does not want to argue with the child any further. It would be futile to forbid her daughter from seeing her twin sister.

After that, there was no more light discussion between the child and the father. Before long, they arrived at the largest airport in the city.

After taking out the bags and suitcases belonging to the girl, Handoko then kissed her daughter's forehead while gently rubbing the top of the girl's head with love. "Be careful. Let me know when you get there." said the father.

"Yes Dad."

"Where is he now? Since the last 2 years I have never asked about Bara.*

Handoko sighed for a moment before finally making a sound. "He's conscious, he's healed. But, he had completely lost all the memories of his life that existed in this City."

Luna nodded with a faint smile. Understand, since 2 years ago he already knew if Bara had indeed forgotten his memory. Only, at that time he was not sure of the words of the father.

"And Luna, Bara is not in America" said Handoko made Luna a little surprised. Didn't the young man leave to follow his father who runs a branch company in America?

"Where is he?"

"During the accident, Helly decided to take Bara Abroad for better treatment. And it turns out, Helly brought Bara to..." Handoko hung up her words for a moment, staring at her daughter with a long sigh.

"Where's Dad?" urged Luna to feel curious extraordinary. Although he will not meet the young man, but knowing his existence has become a tranquilizer, right?

"He's in Russia. And now, he's settled in Russia."

***

During the trip to Russia, Luna's heart was completely unsettled. Because, after he knew the truth about the existence of the young man he loved, the desire to find where the precision of the young man he had buried deep now re-stretched on the surface.

Continuously staring out the window of the plane. He was sleeping like the other passengers. Enjoy the scenery, or rest her body with the relaxation of music. But the beautiful girl was not at all.

His eyes kept wide open while staring at the clouds next to him. His legs kept swaying indicating that he was very, very agitated. Plus, the girl always bites the long nails on her fingers.

"What's up, son? You nervous?"

Looking over, the bowl-like beautiful girl found a middle-aged woman who kept looking at her with a worried look. Feeling, the mother next to him is very similar to the mother of the girl who is dead.

"Say my son, what's wrong? Let's just say I'm your mother. You alone?"

Nodding small, Luna felt hesitant when she wanted to say a word. However, seeing the look of the loving face of the woman next to him made his heart warm up a little. "Yes, I'm alone Mom. My father settled in Indonesia and I will continue his company in Russia."

"You're young, aren't you in college?'

" I'm continuing my studies in Russia Mom, I'll split my time later."

"So, what makes you look uneasy?'' ask the woman back to the core.

" Mom, do you believe in true love?" ask the girl suddenly.

Although with a frowning forehead, but the woman still laughed crisply. "Are you waiting for your true love?"

Luna lowered her head, slightly sighed then spoke. "Mom, I love someone who has forgotten me. For 2 years without knowing where he is now and how he is."

"Someone who has forgotten you? What if he's married, son?"

"Mom, she's only 2 years different from my age. I'm sure she's not married, she's in an accident and she's forgotten Mom's memory."

"Do you believe in true love?"

Hearing Luna's words, the middle-aged woman let out a long sigh. "Son, I used to be separated from my husband. For 5 years because there was an incident in the past. After Mom is determined to forget her, bury all her memories, bury all love, Mom's husband suddenly comes to propose. Without any previous conversation. At that time Mother was 25 years old, and the husband of the Mother proposed to Mother when she was 30 years old.''the story of the Mother reminiscing about her youth.

"So, if you ask about true love. Of course Mom trusted him." concluded the middle-aged woman smiling kindly.

"Do you believe?" the question then to the beautiful girl next to him who just silently stared.

"Come on Ma'am." said the girl softly, feeling completely wrong.

"Maybe I should have believed what is called true love."

SERIATE...
