Moon and sun AND SOLAR ECLIPSE
The universe is full of galaxies,
planets, satellites, and other beautiful sky objects, but there’s only one
object that shines so bright that gives
his light to our galaxy (Milky Way),
he is Sun. He is the source of the lights, without
him anything that exist in this universe would have not seen anything. He is
very special, he is very important to the whole mortal, to the whole things, to
this universe.
One of the
very first day Sun shines the universe, he feels alive and happy. He could see
anything and anything that he sees are happy too. He began to start his first
day happily by giving his light and warm to every things with his light. Out of
the planets in Milky Ways, he falls in love with the Earth. He thought that
Earth has prettiest colors than any other planets he saw. So every time his
orbit is closer to the Earth, he feels absolutely excited. The Earth has blue
sky color, deep blue ocean, white of the clouds, and green for its enormous
lands. He admires Earth so much that he couldn’t feel any happier when he gets
closer to the Earth.
Sometime Sun
feels sad that his light couldn’t light the Earth because of the gray clouds
hide his light, it’s Rain. Rain could bring thunderstorm and storm while she’s
raining herself to the Earth. But from its very first time Sun learned that
someday the Earth also need water not only the warm of his light. Every time the
Earth is raining, Sun can only warm the other planets and their satellites. The
Earth has Moon as its satellites, Moon only brings her light which comes from
Sun to light the Earth at night. Moon, is not the prettiest satellites in the
Milky Way. But since humans only live in the Earth, Moon is the second
important sky object to us after Sun. Sun enlighten the Earth every morning to
evening and Moon enlighten the Earth every single night.
Moon is not
so special thing except for human. Moon is only a satellite which rotates every
day around the Earth. Moon knows that she is not as important as Sun, but she
never even once hates Sun for it. She accepted her fate to only be something
important to the Earth and she’s grateful for it. Moon admires Sun so much,
because of his light she could be something important to the Earth. But Moon
never even once meet Sun and so Sun. Moon might not pretty but she has big and
beautiful heart, even more beautiful than us (human). Because how could you be
only a satellite which has only one job to rotate herself around the Earth
every single time without retire?
One fine day
when the night came and Moon started doing her job until midnight, suddenly
Rain came and got really mad. She gave storm to some lands on Earth, it took at
least two hours until Rain got better.
“Why are you
suddenly mad?”, Asked Moon.
“Oh I’m not
mad.” Rain answered it with sad voice.
“And then
you suddenly sad”, Moon looked at her face that turned so gray and little water
is falling from the sky to the Earth.
“Summer is
coming and this Earth seems happier than when it’s raining. I’m sad, Moon.”
Rain said to Moon how she felt.
“Oh Rain.
You shouldn’t be sad. Summer won’t get last and you will come back, will you?”
“I know, but every time Summer came I just felt this way. I feel like I want to make these
humans know what I feel. I feel like I’m not important and it hurts.”
“Rain, human
needs you. They love you. Stop thinking otherwise.” Moon gave her strength with
her words. Rain seemed to feel better and changed her color to white grayish
cloud.
“Thank you,
Moon. I’m sorry for taking your time again.” Rain felt sorry for Moon that Moon
can’t show herself to some of the lands that late night.
“It’s okay,
Rain.”
“Bye, Moon.
See you in Fall!” Rain gone and the late night also fade away and changed to
the early morning in the first Summer.
“Time to switch
job with Mr. Sun. Bye lovely Earth, welcome Summer!” Moon hide herself while
Sun came along with his warm lights.
Summer
finally came, human really like Summer. Summer means holiday to human, and for Sun
Summer means the brightest light he should give to the Earth.
Summer has
over, Fall came.
Rain is the happiest now, she can give so much rain to the
whole Earth while Sun is sad waiting for him to lighten his light again. Not
much time for Sun to show up because Fall and Winter is coming, after that is
Spring and he can give his warm lights to the Earth again.
One day,
when the Sun shines at afternoon in Spring, Moon came and hides Sun’s light.
This is the first time they are finally meet. Moon finally saw a huge and a
very warm Sun with its fire around him that made him looked more red than
orange. Sun stared at Moon and thinking about who is she?
“Who are
you? I have never met you.” Asked Sun.
“I’m Earth’s
satellite, Moon.” Moon answered him.
“Why are you
here? It’s not your time to show up.”
“But my
orbit is here. Human called it, solar
eclipse.” Moon explained it to Sun. Solar
eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and the Moon
fully or partially blocks the Sun.
“So, it’s
solar eclipse. I’ve heard about it but never knew if it happened right now.”
Sun looked at the Moon. He thought that he never once saw who looked as intelligent
and humble as Moon. Even though Moon only explain it to him but the way Moon
explained it, it made him fluttered.
“Nice to
meet you, Sun. You look so huge and um... bright.” Moon wanted to compliment
Sun but she don’t know the perfect words to say.
“Nice to
meet you too, Moon. Thank you. You look pretty.” Sun really meant what he said
to Moon, but Moon seemed not so touch.
“Well,
thank you. You are the first who told me that I’m pretty.”
“Oh
really? If that so, I’m happy. How long this solar eclipse happens?”
“I think
it’s not that long. Alright, since this happened very very rare, let’s talk a
bit more.” Moon started to open a topic while the solar eclipse happened that
made the whole Earth in dark color.
She thought that it’s very rare that she could finally talked and saw Sun.
“Okay,
Moon.”
“Firstly,
I’d want to say thank you and how grateful I am that your light really made me
something important to this Earth and so the mortal. Thank you so much, Mr.
Sun” Moon confessed her grateful feeling to Sun.
“Wow.
It’s the very first
time I heard that something feels grateful of me. I’m more thankful to you that
you confessed it to me. I feel so much happy
to know that.” Sun smile brightly made his light shines so bright that made
Moon closed her eyes because of how bright it is. “Oops! Sorry.” Sun and Moon laughed
and Sun slowly back to his normal lights.
“I think
the time will be over
soon. It’s a precious moment for me that I can finally met you, Sun. We will
meet again in an unsure time.” Moon said to Sun.
“It’s
also a precious moment for me to know such a beautiful yet intelligent
satellite like you, Moon. And I can’t wait to see you again.” Solar eclipse
began to fades. Moon began to move and leave her orbit between the Earth and
Sun. Little by little Sun started to enlighten the Earth again while Moon faded
away.
“Moon,
see you!!!” Sun shouted to the moving Moon.
“See you,
Mr. Reddish Sun.” And Sun came back with his light to warm the Earth. Sun never
even once felt so happy and fluttered ever since he met and talked to Moon, and
so did Moon.
After
their first meeting, every day, every time, they wait for solar eclipse to come
so that they would talk and laugh again. But it takes very long time and an
unsure time to happen. They wait and wait. Even though they could haven’t met
yet, Moon always feel grateful that she always got the light from Sun. Whenever
the night comes, she feel more grateful for knowing it. They kept waiting to
meet again in Solar Eclipse. Moon and Sun takes a really long time to finally
met again, but they are never get tired of waiting for solar eclipse to happen, even it takes forever, they
will wait, only to see and talk to each other. Solar
eclipse when will you come again?
-NPH.
