(Family) Bound
Stop bothering me

Luna looked at the middle-aged man before her with a hint of fear, occasionally she looked up and stole glances at the man who looked so similar to Edo.

This was the first time Luna had met Hans. Although since Hans came he has been to Shaka's house several times, Luna has never met Edo's real father. And now that she's back to visit Kira at the hospital, Hans just happened to come.

Hans arrives moments after Edo and Luna break into the room of the president suite where Kira is being treated. Edo is thrilled to finally meet his girlfriend with Hans. Several times he wanted to bring them together but still did not get the right time.

"Papa, what a coincidence papa came here. This is Aluna, the girl I've been telling you about a lot. She's my boyfriend, pa." Said Edo with a glowing face.

Hans just kept quiet and looked at Luna with a flat face. Luna seemed to take a deep breath before introducing herself.

"Good day, oom. I'm Aluna." Luna said politely by extending her hand.

Hans remained silent and stared fixedly at Luna's face. His gaze seemed to look at the young girl before him.

"Hans." Hans replied coldly while welcoming Luna's hand. His eyes stared intently at his son's lover.

Kira and Shaka looked at each other. Edo's face changed. The atmosphere in the room was suddenly tense to see Hans reaction when he saw Luna. Hans suddenly smiled and laughed loudly as he looked at the tense faces before him. He could even feel the hand of Luna he was holding so coldly.

"You relax. I'm not gonna bite this girl." Hans said still with his little laugh. Everyone in the room immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

"God. Papa's just freaking out..!!" Edo sewot.

"I don't think you'd approve of Edo and Luna's relationship, Hans. Just make you hang." Shaka said not to lose his rent. Kira just laughed seeing Hans pranking them.

"Sorry to scare you, son. Take it easy, I won't hurt you." Hans said to Luna with a warm smile.

"I'm Hans, Edward's papa. I can finally meet you. It was true what Edward said. You are indeed beautiful. My son is crazy about you." Hans continued while chuckling softly. Luna smiled shyly at Hans's praise.

"Thank you, oom." Sahut Luna shy.

"You almost knocked him out, Hans. Don't you see how scared Luna is..??" Kira said.

"I don't think he's gonna be that easy to collapse. It looked weak, but from the grasp of her hand I could tell she was a brave and tough girl." Hans said back to praising Luna.

"So papa blesses our relationship..??" Ask Edo expectantly.

"certain. This is the first time I've ever met Luna. But papa won't doubt your mommy and daddy judgment. They will definitely disagree if Luna is not a good girl for you." Answer Hans.

"Thank you, pa." Edo said while hugging his father's body. Hans returned Edo's embrace and patted his son softly on the back.

"Luna, oom take Edward." Hans.

"Well, oom." Answer Luna again.

Before long they were engaged in such a familiar conversation. Hans immediately liked Luna for seeing the girl had a good personality.

"The three of you haven't had lunch yet, have you..?? How about I order it..??" Shaka said.

"No need to bother. I ate on my way here. Thank you." Thank you." Answer Hans.

"I'll go down to the food court under the same Aluna, dad." Answer Edo.

"Then you take Luna to lunch first, Ed. Kasian he must be hungry. It's past lunch." Kira said.

"Good, mom." Edo Sahut.

"Come on." Edo said to Luna and pulled the girl's hand out of the room.

"Oom.. Aunty. We go to lunch first yaa.." Pamit Luna before they came out of the room.

Edo and Luna came to the food court on the ground floor and enjoyed lunch. They were just about to leave the food court when suddenly Ratna's voice called out to Luna.

"Luna." Call Ratna.

The woman looked happy as Luna turned to her even with a cold face. Edo who saw the arrival of Ratna wanted to give time for her to talk to Luna.

"We'll meet again, son. Every day I come here hoping to see you again." Ratna said but Luna was silent.

"Al, you guys talk first. I'll go back to mommy's room first." Said Edo while tightly grasping both of Luna's hands. Edo turned to look at Ratna and smiled.

Luna sounded an annoyed snort when she heard Edo say she was Ratna's daughter.

"Thank you, son. Aunt Ratna Danuarta's name." Sahut Ratna was friendly while welcoming Edo's hand.

"Is your family sick, son..??" Ask Ratna.

"Yes, aunt. My mommy is being treated here." Answer Edo.

"May your mother get well soon, son." Ratna said sincerely.

"Where was your mother treated..?? Can aunty come see..??" Ask Ratna.

"Thank you, aunt. Mommy was treated in the president suite. Aunt please stop by if you'd like. Mommy would love to see aunty." Answer Edo.

"The..!! Why did you let him meet your family..??!!" Luna. He doesn't like it because Edo let Ratna see her family.

"Because she's your mother, Al." Answer Edo coldly. Luna instantly fell silent when she saw Edo's face change.

Although Edo realized Ratna's mistake was very big. But he also did not like to see Luna treat Ratna badly. Moreover, Luna never gave Ratna a chance to explain. Edo's experience of growing up without a mother's presence made him appreciate the figure of the mother.

"Tante, I'm saying goodbye first." Pamit Edo's.

"Thank you again, son." Sahut Ratna's.

Luna turned her gaze in another direction as Edo started to disappear from her sight and Ratna.

"Luna." Call Ratna.

Luna remained silent and walked away. Ratna continued to follow Luna who seemed to start crossing the road. Apparently Luna took them to the cafe opposite the hospital complex.

"What do you want to talk about..??" Luna asked coldly after they sat in the cafe.

"sorry. Please forgive mom." Ratna said with a face full of regret. He began to sob as his heart continued to be filled with guilt.

"Why did you leave me..?? Even if you made a mistake for leaving my father. I'd still be happy if you took me. At least I'll feel wanted." Asked Luna with a choked voice.

"Because your father stopped me, son. I really want to take you. But your angry father called his men to pick you up from school and hide you. Mom's back, son. I always come back to pick you up. But your father kept preventing me from seeing you. Until I finally heard she got married again and you guys moved out. That's when I lost track of you. I'm sorry, son. I should have looked for you better and immediately carried you away to escape the torment. Sorry." Ratna's answer is still sobbing.

"Do you really not love my father to the point that you can leave him for your ex-lover..?? I've always treated you well. But you just keep ignoring it." Ask Luna again. Ratna seemed silent for a moment.

"I'm sorry I can't say anything about my relationship with your father. Because we're here to talk about our relationship." Answer Ratna.

"Mother is here to apologize to you for causing your life to suffer and feel unwanted. I'm sorry, mother." Ratna. The woman seemed to let out a long sigh as if trying to release a heavy burden.

"Ciiiiihh, you never seem to regret leaving my father. So how can I believe you regret leaving me..?? While your departure caused all my suffering." Luna Cibir.

Soon Luna stood up and left some money on the table and walked away from Ratna.

"Luna.please don't go first, son. We're not done talking." Ratna exclaimed as she walked after Luna who walked out of the cafe.

"There's nothing more we need to talk about. I'm pretty sure you never regretted a bit for leaving me. So now go and stop bothering me..!!" Luna said with a choked voice. His tears began to flow down his cheeks.

"Waaaah. waaaaaah.I never thought I'd see such an interesting show in broad daylight." Said a woman joining Luna and Ratna's conversation.

The mother and son turned to the origin of the voice, then were surprised to see who the person who had interrupted their conversation was.
