Between Love and Corona
Sorrow Solar

With a raging heart, Surya proceeded to boarding while waiting for the time to enter the plane.

This 23-year-old man was bowed in lethargy. For the first time Surya will be away from home for a long time. Yes, the man has obtained a Decree (SK) Mutation as a Civil Servant in Makassar City. The opportunity to become a State Servant is certainly a dream for many people in this country. Same with Surya. After finishing college, Surya decided to take the acceptance test of the Prospective Civil Servants. Surya was lucky enough, because he was accepted as PNS in the Directorate General of Taxes with the placement of the Primary Tax Service Office of West Makassar - South Sulawesi.

Surya still clearly remembers how the face of the Moon was always moody, when the semester break or class increase, Surya often had to go to Jakarta, vacation to the place where Aunt and Uncle lived in the Capital. However, it is so good that the Moon does not overtly prohibit Surya, although Surya also knows that the Moon is disappointed because Surya prefers holidays in Jakarta, rather than in Jogjakarta.

Moon is a very good girl, since dating Surya in high school, the girl ayu never demanded much. The moon only asks Surya for one thing - loyalty. For the Moon, loyalty is very expensive. And the Moon likes a loyal figure. Therefore, in the six years of their relationship, Surya really took care of his heart only for the Moon. The guy really doesn't give any space to other girls. Though many girls approach her, but her heart clings only entirely to the girl who stole her heart at first sight, the Moon Maheswari.

Since long ago, Surya was very aware that the Moon was often sad and could not enjoy the holidays with his girlfriend. Unlike most other teenage couples who can watch the cinema, take a walk to the beach, or visit other tourist attractions in Jogjakarta. The Moon can only be at home, watching TV, or reading a book. Surya suddenly felt so guilty, the amount of time he used to have and could be used to be with the Moon he did not use as well as possible. Now, that time will never come back. Whether until when, he can survive in a long distance relationship with all this uncertainty.

Now, Surya actually went not for a vacation that was just one week to ten days. Surya has to be gone for a long time. And, not necessarily he can return to Jogjakarta once a month. The long distance between Jogjakarta and Makassar, and the high cost of airfare is certainly a consideration for Surya.

Surya rubbed his face rough, so sorry he is now because now he really does not have time for the Moon. Regrets and guilt mixed into one, leaving the man devastated at the same time.

Perhaps during this one week in the presence of the Moon, Surya looks ordinary. He always looked strong in front of the moon. Even his mouth could still provide words of motivation for the Moon. However, who knew that the man felt a fragility in his heart.

I don't mean to look ordinary in front of you, Moon, right now, I'm just like you. I am fragile, but I am trying to be strong. I was sad, but I tried to laugh. I don't know when to endure this condition, Moon.

For the first time, I have to go so far this month. Leaving me for a long time, we're different cities, different islands, different time zones. However, I hope our hearts and feelings remain the same Moon.

Wait for me to come, pick you up, and ask you to be my wife.

As soon as the announcement that all passengers are welcome to get into the plane, Surya walked over. However, this is how men are, seeming strong and strong, but deep in the depths of their hearts they are fragile.

His feet were heavy to step on. It feels like he wants to undo his departure to Makassar and choose to live in Jogjakarta, working in the city that has been his residence since childhood. In this city too, there is a girl he loves, yes she is the Moon.

When entering the plane, Surya looks heavy hearted. The man recalled how the grief was clearly imprinted on the Moon's face, as the two families made the decision to postpone their marriage. Surya saw clearly how the Moon broke into tears.

Once the plane will start taking-off, take a position to start flying by reaching a certain height and exposing the city of Jakarta from the air, Surya just muttered softly in his heart.

Goodbye to the Moon. See you around... Remember our promise, the affection that has been established for six years.

Only time and space separate us. But our hearts are still linked to each other. I pursue my ideals first, after that I will fight for you....

Wait for me to return to the Moon....

Take care ofyour heart....

It's all about time....

Dan, I'll come back to you....

Surya monologued sadly in his heart. His eyes were empty looking at the various panoramas seen from the window of the aircraft he was riding today.

Elsewhere, Moon was still chatting with Surya's parents in the area around the airport.

"Surya so work first is the Moon, because it can already get SK Mutation, so can not retreat again" said Surya's mother.

The moon just nodded her head, trying to smile in front of Surya's parents, but her heart also lost Surya. "Yes, it's okay Mom. However, being a Civil Servant (PNS) is the ambition of Surya since long ago. The moon will also not hinder what Surya aspires to be." said the girl while confirming the position of the mask that covers half her face.

"If you're free, go to the Moon house. Think of us as your own parents, the house is open to you. Do not hesitate, even though Surya is far away in Makassar, occasionally messing around visiting us is okay" said Surya's mother again.

The moon only smiled, although the smile remained invisible because of the mask he was wearing. "Yes, Mom. If not busy, the Moon will play at home sometime. Thank you very much, ma'am."

After being suave, the Moon also chose to return to his home. Because earlier, he came to the airport by boarding the Trans Jogjakarta Bus, now the ayu girl is still sitting at the bus stop by looking at the Flight Radar application on the mobile phone screen. He just wanted to make sure the aircraft Surya was flying on would arrive safely.

"Hopefully we will meet again soon, Surya.." murmured the girl softly.
