(Family) Bound
The Devil Inside's

While helping Luna, Yudhi stopped right at the IGD door from the first hospital he saw. Although the hospital is small, medical personnel there swiftly handle Luna. Luna's condition was stable, she was eventually transferred to Orchid Hospital at Edo's request. He wanted to take care of Luna without ignoring Kira who was also still being treated.

Edo clasped Luna's hand and continued to kiss her. She continued to look at Luna's face while occasionally stroking her face gently. Although not fully able to breathe a sigh of relief because Luna was not aware, but Edo was grateful that her lover was saved despite being critical.

"Al..??" Call Edo when you see Luna's head moving slowly.

"Hey, baby, wake up. Open your eyes." Edo said as he continued stroking Luna's head.

Luna started to open her eyes slowly. But suddenly Luna started to look panicked and screamed hysterically.

"AAAAARRGH..!! NOOO..!! NOOO..!! RELEASE ME..!! DON'T TOUCH ME..!! AAAAAARGH..!! AAAAAARGH..!! LET GO OF ME..!!" Shouted Luna hysterically.

"Lunaa..!! Be calm..!! It's me..!!" Edo cried while continuing to hold both hands of Luna who continued to reach rough as if she was driving away someone.

"AAAAARGH..!! LET GO OF ME..!!" Luna was still hysterical.

"YOUTDOOR..!!" Edo cried while holding Luna's face with both hands. Forcing the girl to look at him.

"Edo..??" Call Luna soft with a pale face and tears that begin to wet her cheeks.

"Yes, Al. Its me. You're safe now. No one will ever hurt you again." Edo said softly right in front of Luna's face. He could feel Luna's body shaking violently from fear.

Luna's eyes stared fixedly at Edo as if to make sure that the one before her was indeed Edo. Luna's cry broke out right then and there. Edo tightly hugged Luna's body, buried the girl's face into the chest of her field and let the girl release her burden.

"Calm down, Al. You're safe now." Edo said trying to calm Luna down.

Edo was shocked when suddenly Luna let go of her embrace and inched away from him.

"Al, what's the matter..??" Ask Edo worriedly.

"Don't approach me..!!" Excited Luna while shaking her head violently.

Luna continued crying and hugged her knees and buried her face. Her crying sounded so heartbreaking.

"Al, please calm down." Edo said as he held onto both of Luna's shoulders.

"Go, Ed. Leave me." Luna said without raising her head. It was seen that Luna's shoulder was shaken from crying.

"Al, what are you talking about..?? Calm down first. You still need a break." Edo said while gently shaking Luna's body.

"I said go..!!" Luna's shout started to hysterically and continued to shake Edo's hand.

"Please leave me, Ed. We're breaking up right now." Sahut Luna interrupted his heartbreaking stuff. Edo looked up at Luna's request.

"What do you mean, Al..??!! I don't want us to break up..!!" Edo was surprised.

"I'm dirty. I don't deserve to be with you anymore, Ed. Please leave me." Luna replied followed by an increasingly violent sob.

"Yuna..!!" Edo shouts again holding both shoulders Luna even though the girl tries to break away.

"Al, he didn't have time to stain you because we came before he did." Said Edo.

"You don't have to lie to calm me down, Ed." Isak Luna's.

"I'm not lying, Al. When we arrived, you started to be unconscious. But he didn't manage to stain you. Trust me, Al." Edo Sahut.

"Leave me, Ed." Luna said as she shook her head, still not believing Edo's explanation.

"I'm telling you the truth, Al. The doctor examined you and he said that the man did not. He did harass you but he hasn't had time to desecrate you because we came before that." Edo said as he stared fixedly at Luna's eyes.

"But still, Ed. He's been.." Luna cried again because she could not continue her words.

"Al, listen.. Ilove you. Whatever your circumstances. Even if he had really stained you I would still love you and accept you. I beg you, Al. Don't ask to be separated from me." Edo Pinta. He stuck his forehead on Luna's forehead.

"But, Ed.." Isak Luna's. His words were cut off because Edo had**mat his lips.

"Don't say anything about farewell. You know how I feel when I see you die..??" Isak Edo's. He cupped Luna's face with both hands.

"I'm so scared, Al. I'm really scared of losing you. So please don't ask to be separated from me, Al." Said Edo continuing to sob.

"I'm sorry, Ed. But I'd rather die than let him touch me. I'll never have the guts to meet you until that happens." Sahut Luna.

"Keep that thought away from you. If that were to happen, I would rather accept you than lose you. I love you, Al." Edo said while wiping away the tears of Luna who continued to wet her beautiful face.

Luna lowered her head then hugged Edo tightly. Edo returned Luna's embrace, sticking her chin at the top of the girl's head.

"I'm sorry, Ed. Ilove you. Love you so much." Said Luna sobbing in Edo's arms.

"I know, Al. I love you too." Edo continued to immerse his face in Luna's hair.

"Ed, what about my mom..??" Asked Luna while raising her head. Edo smiled hearing Luna calling Ratna "MOTHER".

"Your mother is fine. Aunt Ratna was injured, but things have improved a lot. Ever since you were transferred here she has been in this room accompanying me and waiting for you to wake up. If it wasn't for him, maybe we would never have had time to help you. You know..?? Regardless of her injured state, your mother kept running to find me. He went straight into the room where mommy was being treated and told me about your abduction. She kept screaming hysterically asking me to help you." Answer Edo.

"He was desperately protecting me. Receiving all the blows so they can't take me. I feel guilty for treating my mother so badly." Said Luna with a face full of regret.

"When your mother comes, you apologize to her. And start everything from the beginning. I'm sure your mother must have forgiven you and wanted to mend your relationship." Edo said as he continued to stroke Luna's head that was still in his arms.

"Will you forgive me..??" Ask Luna again.

"certain. Because he loves you so much." Answer Edo.

"How long was I unconscious..??" Ask Luna.

"Nearly two days. Probably about 36 - 38 hours." Answer Edo.

"And all that time you kept waiting for me..??" Ask Luna.

"Almost. Because sometimes I visit mommy in her room. I'm sorry." Said Edo tightening his embrace.

"What about Aunt Frida and that guy..??" Ask Luna curiously.

"Don't be afraid. They won't be able to bother you anymore." Edo said with a warm smile.

"What happened to them..??" Luna asked increasingly.

"That's it. Don't you think about it anymore. Rest." Edo calmed Luna down.

"I have a little business. After this I have to go first, but Dit-dit will come to accompany you. It's okay, right..??" Edo's question was answered nodding by Luna.

Edo lifted Luna's blanket to the chest and waited until the girl fell asleep. Shortly Dit-dit comes and replaces him keeping Luna.

Edo drove his car towards the edge of town. He stopped at a villa that looked empty. There is no other house around. The villa looks unkempt because it is surrounded by tall grass and other wild plants. He opened the main door of the villa and looked down the stairs, walking towards the bottom of the villa.

When opening one of the rooms, it looks Galih and Frida who are tied to a terrible situation. Galih looks more battered than before. Frida looked so pale and weak. His face was bruised and his clothes looked torn here and there to show part of his body.

Edo signaled the people standing guard to get out of the room.

"Wake up..!!" Edo orders coldly while alternately kicking Galih and Frida. A small moan from both.

"No more. I beg you." Isak Frida pleaded. Edo crouched down in front of Frida and looked at her sharply.

"Don't what..?? I don't understand what you mean." Ask Edo.

"I can't take it anymore. Please forgive me." Frida Pinta.

"Oooh. I see what you mean. But aren't you always having fun..?? I'm just giving you the things you've always liked. That's why I told you to keep doing it. Or... just doing it with Galih is not enough for you..?? I can bring your bodyguards here as soon as possible, because they're also being held captive here. I'm sure they'll like it a lot." Whisper Edo with a voice that sounded terrifying. Frida's eyes widened to hear Edo's threat.

"No.. No. I don't want to..!! Please don't do that..!!" Frida cried out in fear. Edo just smiled cynically looking at Frida's fear, grabbed her face and gripped her firmly with one hand. Makes the woman groan in pain.

"Now you keep begging me. Did you also let go of Aluna as she begged you to let her go..?? Do you pity Aluna for torturing her for years and even throwing her into the streets..?? After expelling him what you did when you met Aluna actually threw him into the mouth of a crocodile..!!" Edo said coldly with eyes glistening furiously.

"Who are you really..?? Why are you telling those people to torture us..??" Ask Galih.

Edo throws down Frida and turns to Galih.

"You picked the wrong person to target. Aluna is my lover. And I'm Edward Tanzil. Son of the Tanzil family" replied Edo coldly. He stood before Galih who was still helpless.

"You're so proud of your role as Finance Director of Phoenix Group. Just so you know. Kirana, the daughter of the Hardisiswo family, is my adoptive mother. Why do you think you can see oom Yudhi coming with me while saving Aluna..??" Edo said with a scary grin.

"Actually when the Hardisiswo family catches you, they'll hand you over to the police. But I asked them for a little time to have fun with you guys." Continue Edo.

"I'm sorry.. I'm really careless, please forgive me." Pinta Frida pleads. While Galih could only lower his head.

"Oom Adam has handed over evidences of embezzlement and every fraud you have committed. Also witnesses who have been victims of your abuse all this time." Edo's hiss on Galih.

"And you. We know that you've been working with Luna's father's lawyer to change the contents of his will. The truth is you didn't get a dime because he knew you had been torturing Luna all this time. Luna's father also learned of your habit of having affairs with several different men during your marriage. We have found the original will and all the treasures of the Luna family will return to her. We have also handed over all the evidence of your other crimes. Including evidence that you killed Luna's father slowly by continuing to mix in low doses of poison for several months." Edo said to Frida.

"Now you can choose. Stay my prisoner here until I'm satisfied. Or curl up behind prison bars forever..??" Edo asked while looking coldly at Galih and Frida.

"Jail. I'd rather go to jail. Take me to the police station right now. I promise I won't say anything about this place..!!" Frida was impatient.

"What's going on here, huh..?? I don't understand." Edo pretended to be confused.

"none. Nothing happened here." Galih replied quickly and then turned to look at Frida.

"really. He's correct. Nothing's going on here. We've never even been in this place." Frida was quick to understand Galih's intentions.

"good. I would be confused if someone asked. Because I don't see anything happening here. By the way, what are you guys doing here..??" Said Edo with a plain face.

Galih and Frida could only be astonished to see the look on Edo's face that suddenly changed.

"none. We're just lost and trapped here." Reply Galih with a voice trembling in fear.

"Ooh. that's so." Said Edo still with his innocent face.

"wait here. You guys can rest. There will be a doctor coming to treat you. Take plenty of rest to heal quickly." Continue Edo friendly while patting slowly Galih cheeks.

A second later Edo clutched Galih's hair and made their faces face to face. Edo's face looked even scarier than before. Galih's body increasingly shuddered at Edo who was constantly changing and unpredictable. It was true what he had heard all along. That the Tanzil family was so secretive but did not hesitate to do evil.

"After you're healed, there'll be my men driving you to the police. Never take the surname Hardisiswo or Rahardian if you want to survive." Edo's fizzle with a threatening look.

"Baa.. Baiikk.." Sahut Galih with a vibrating voice.

"Don't try to escape because the consequences will be very bad." Edo said coldly.

Galih and Frida immediately nodded without saying anything. Suddenly Edo returned a friendly smile.

"Rest." Edo said again kindly. He patted Galih's shoulder gently as if he was talking to an old friend.

Edo turned to Frida for a moment and smiled and stood up. The young man left the room without saying anything more.

"Supervise them carefully..!!" Edo orders his family's guards before leaving the old villa.

"Okay, sir..!!" They answered almost simultaneously without daring to stare at Edo's face that looked so scary. The bodyguards just lowered their heads until Edo completely walked out of the basement.
