Time passes so fast. It doesn't feel like this is the tenth year Luna is gone forever from the world. Longing that never brimmed now experienced by Valko.
Every day the man waited for something uncertain. Yes, every second of the day he awaits Luna's second life to take place. When not having activities, Valko chose to stay in the room while staring at the top of the pine trees in the forest La Eterno.
"Val, can you deliver Mrs Margaret's order tomorrow?" alarick asked as he sipped coffee in the cup he held.
"Can, Dad.
Alarick put down the coffee cup, then looked at the pine trees in front of him. Sometimes Alarick glanced at the son who was now more silent than before.
"Val, don't you intend to find a companion?" Alarick tried to reopen the conversation about marriage.
However, Valko always responded in the same way. Valko snorted in annoyance while throwing a cynical look at the father.
"How many times have you asked the same question? And my answer will remain the same. I don't want to get married until I meet Luna in her second life!"
"I'm just afraid you'll feel lonely if you don't get married soon" Alarick said.
"Then, why didn't you get married again after you left?" In a matter of seconds Valko can turn things around.
Alarick is silent. He let out a rough breath then looked back at the sky which was starting to turn dark. Valko was back in his longing for the lover.
The next day, Valko left for Flor City on a motorcycle. He was about to deliver the traditional medicine ordered by Margaret. After a full day's journey, the man finally reached Flor City.
"It's Madam." Valko placed a sack of traditional medicine ingredients in front of Margaret's shop.
"Well, thank you, Valko! How much total?" margaret asked with a big smile.
"For the delivery this time, the total is this." Valko thrust the note Alarick had made to Margaret.
"All right, wait a minute!" Margaret went into the store, and took the money.
While waiting, Valko spread his gaze to the streets. Memories of the past with Luna also flashed in his memory. A faint smile was etched on the lips of the man.
"How are you, honey?" valko muttered as he groped the crescent moon pendant hanging from his neck.
A second later, Valko's tail caught a hadith figure very similar to Luna's. He was walking with a friend while joking. The girl's voice was very similar to Luna's.
Valko was about to step after the two women. However, just walking a few steps, Margaret called out to him. Inevitably Valko also came to the woman to take the money that had been wrapped in an envelope.
"I'll open it first, will you, ma'am?" Valko opened the brown envelope and counted it.
After making sure the money received is appropriate, Valko also said goodbye. He immediately drove to the place where he had last seen the two girls walking earlier. He got off the bike and tried to ask their whereabouts to passers-by.
However, Valko did not get an answer. He could only rub a rough face. In the depths of his heart, he hoped that what he had seen was not just a hallucination.
"Gosh, Luna. I really miss you, honey."
Just as Valko closed his sentence, his eyes were now back to seeing the exact same girl as the lover. This time he saw Luna sitting on the bus.
Valko blinked repeatedly to make sure that his vision was not mistaken. After blinking the netra and even rubbing it repeatedly, he finally believed that he was not looking wrong. The girl indeed had a face that was very similar to Luna's.
Valko immediately put on his favorite motorcycle to catch the bus. As soon as the vehicle stopped at the stop, Valko walked in and came to the girl in a bright red coat.
However, when he turned his head, it turned out that the girl did not resemble Luna at all. The girl frowned while throwing a strange look at Valko. Finally with a heavy heart Valko got off the bus.
"I think I'm crazy!" Valko smiled wryly then rubbed a rough face.
...----------------...
The sky was a little cloudy today. Orange-colored space sign of the day will soon change night. Valko is hunting in the southern forest.
The handsome man who was no longer young was trying to spend time hunting, and to the city once a week as usual. The atmosphere of the forest that day was very quiet. Only a gust of autumn wind was heard that knocked out the leaves.
Valko's footsteps sounded clearer as they stepped on the dry leaves. In front of him was a male deer drinking by the river.
"Can!" exclaim Valko lirih.
Valko immediately aimed his long-barreled rifle at the deer. Valko scouts the target through a pistil (an optical instrument that serves to guide the eye view on the viewfinder on a firearm or other device).
When he was about to pull the trigger, suddenly Valko's back head was hit by someone. The man looked over. His eyes rounded instantly when he found out who the person who had dared to hit him was.
"Bas with poachers!" exclaim that girl.
A girl with a backpack on her back was staring at Valko full of anger. He wears a bright red fur coat. The beautiful girl also had black boots and a knit hat.
"Luna?"
"Eh, how did Uncle know my name?" The girl was as surprised as Valko.
There were no glazes in Valko's eyes. The girl in front of him was too similar to his ex-lover. Seeing Valko who was about to cry, the girl frowned.
"Hello, Uncle! What the hell's going on? How did Uncle know my name?" ask the girl again.
"Luna, is this really you?" Now Valko landed both hands on the girl's upper arm.
"Deliver! You perverted uncle!" the girl shouted after she managed to slap Valko's arm.
"Don't touch me! We don't know each other!" exclaimed the girl alert as she crossed her arms in front of her chest.
"I asked once again, why did Uncle know my name?" The girl squinted her eyes demanding an explanation from Valko.
"You look a lot like my deceased lover" Valko said in a trembling voice holding back tears.
"Omong empty! You pervert!"
It turns out that the girl had the same name. She is also named Luna. Besides, it looks so similar. Brownish curly hair, with hazel colored eye beads. Moreover, he also likes to hit the head of Valko every time he does not like the actions of the man.
The longing was slightly cured due to the presence of the girl. Their second meeting was also in the same place as eleven years ago. It's just with a different situation.
Valko smiled widely, then clasped the girl's body in love. The handsome man no longer cared for Luna who continued to thrash for release.
"Luna, I miss you so much!"
