Between Love and Corona
Mooncake

"Moon, why don't you sell your sponge cake? Your homemade Bolu cake is delicious." said the Star suddenly that made the Moon widen its eyes.

Moon so remember when he made Bolu Cake and share it with Bintang, so this friend can say if the Cake Bolu made by Moon tastes good.

"Euhm, which Bolu Cake is Bin? Sorry, I forgot." said Moon while smiling in confusion.

The stars seem to smile. Perhaps the Moon had forgotten, because it had been so many years.

Jakarta, 2015

That was when the Moon was still in High School. The lady brought a Bolu Cake which she made with her own hands at home.

When the first break, the Moon carried a paper bag containing a food box. However, the food box does not contain rice and vegetables, but contains Bolu Cake.

The Moon then met Surya who was sitting in front of the Laboratory with the Stars. "Surya, I brought provisions from home" said the Moon approached Surya and the Star at that time.

"Hey Moon, what did you bring?" surya asked with a smile to the Moon, while the Star sitting next to Surya only observed the interaction of his two friends who were dating.

The moon sits not far from Surya, then takes out its supply box. "I brought Bolu Cake, I made it myself at home" said Moon seemed happy to show her Bolu Cake. "This is try Surya. How delicious is not?" The moon offered Surya his homemade Bolu Cake, then the man tried it.

"It's delicious, Moon .. Are you sure you made this cake yourself?" surya asked while chewing Bolu Cake in his mouth.

The moon nodded its head. "Yes, I made it myself" he replied with a smile.

Seeing that there was a Star that was sitting on the side of Surya, then the Moon also offered a piece of Bolu Cake for the Star as well. "Bin, take. Try this Bolu Cake, I make it myself." said the Moon who gave his box to the Stars.

With hesitation, Star's right hand was stretched out and took one piece of Bolu Cake from the Moon's stock box.

Stars are indeed the type of guy who does not talk much, his appearance is calm. New stars really talk a lot if only to certain people.

Feeling the cake Bolu is so good, Bintang is sure that the Moon can certainly make Cake with good. The hidden talent of a Moon Maheswari known only to the Stars.

"This cake is delicious, Moon. Thanks yes.." said Bintang while feeling Bolu Cake in his chew.

Hearing the assessment given by the Stars, the Moon smiled. "Thank you Bin, will you take it again?"

The moon also returned to thrust the box of supplies containing Bolu Cake to the stars. Let her friend take her back.

But soon the supply box was attacked by Surya, because Surya did not want to share the Cake Bolu made by the Moon with anyone, including the Stars, his own best friend.

Flashback off

...🌸🌸🌸...

Yes, the stars are not sure. The moon may have forgotten it. After all, the incident has been going on for quite a while. A person's memory can be lost, right? Therefore, the Star did not expect that the Moon would remember when he gave a piece of Bolu Cake.

The moon seemed to frown, trying to recall, the event when he gave a piece of Bolu Cake to the Star. The synapses in his brain were trying to remember the words of the stars.

Bolu Cake?

High School Time?

A few minutes Moon thought, finally he remembered the event when he first made Bolu Cake and gave it to Surya. The Moon also remembers that it gave a piece to the Star.

"Ahh, what's the time in High School when I bring the lunch box that contains the Bolu Cake?" ask the Moon, though she's not sure either.

The star immediately nodded its head. "Yes ... At that time, you once gave me a piece of Bolu Cake." recalls the Star during the break and the Moon gave me a piece of cake.

Hearing the story of the stars, the Moon smiled. Although the face of ayu who was smiling was invisible because of the mask that covered half of her face, but her eyes were so visible that the girl was smiling widely.

"How do you still remember the stars? That was a long time ago. Also for what it feels like is it really that good? Though that time for the first time I made Bolu Cake" he said while remembering that it was the first time the Moon learned to make cakes.

"Hmm, I just remember the moon. However, for the taste and texture is really good. Not inferior to Bolu Cakes made in cake shops. Why don't you think or try to try out culinary ventures as well as the Moon? In pandemic times like this, culinary efforts can survive more" said Bintang convincingly.

The word Star seems to have caught the attention of the Moon. Yes, in pandemic times all the money earned is practical to meet daily needs. Food and health matters are a priority for residents, while clothing matters are not so much a priority. What the stars say makes a lot of sense.

"If I try? Will it sell?" ask the Moon with no confidence at all.

The star nodded its head. "Try it first. We never know the outcome if we don't try. I'll be your loyal customer, Moon. I will also help promote it. How's it?"

As if in doubt because it has been a long time, the Moon is not struggling with various raw materials for making cakes and ovens. His busy life as an Elementary School teacher was quite time consuming. However, Moon recalled that her mother was very good at cooking and baking. Maybe the Moon could involve her mother.

"Euhm, okay. I'll try to make it first. Promise me yes, if you're going to buy it and help promote it?" moon Words.

The star nodded its head. "Yes, just send me a message, I'll buy your homemade Bolu Cake."

"If I make a cake business, what name can I use for Bin's brand name? Need a brand also right to market our production goods?" ask the stars.

Hearing the question of the Moon for a moment the Star thought, the name for the cake made by the Moon. Suddenly he thought of a name. "How about Moon Cake?"

The moon heard him laughing. "The Moon cake is a traditional Chinese cake that must be present at the autumn celebration every year. Also called Mooncake. Are you sure you proposed that name?" he said while chuckling amusedly.

The star looks serious and nods its head. "Yes ... Moon Cake. Nice right? A name that not only fits, but is unique as well. So that buyers will have a new introduction that Moon Cake is not just Mooncake at the autumn festival. Moon Cake is a cake made by you. Month ... Moon Cake."
