(Family) Bound
Caring

“Edooo... waituu.” Luna called for Edo.

Edo turned his head lazily towards Luna. He saw the girl running towards him.

“Ed, search candidates bini lo tu.” Brushed Bryan. Edo hit Bryan's shoulder hard.

“This.” Luna said with a breath of breath, she thrust the package to Edo.

“What is this.??” Edo asked by raising his eyebrows.

“Open it.” Answer Luna. Edo received the parcel and opened it and saw the maroon-colored syall. He looked at the syall and Luna alternately.

“I heard you will often be in Germany. The weather there is cold, so I knit it for you.” Said Luna with her sweet smile.

Edo opened the syall and took a deep breath when he saw the shall knit was quite messy. Bryan held back a laugh as he looked at Luna's knitted scarf.

“I just learned. I made it while watching the video tutorial.” Luna continued grimacing as she looked at Edo's facial expression. Edo looked towards Luna and saw some of Luna's fingers plastered.

“Thank you.” Edo said coldly while putting the syall into his bag.

“Hai, Luna.” Sapa a young man.

“Hai, Reyhan. What are you doing here.??” Sapa Luna is friendly. Edo frowned seeing Luna smiling sweetly at Reyhan.

“So I want your samperin but your friend said you're here. So I just followed.” Sahut Reyhan's.

He looked surprised when he saw Bryan, but before long he seemed to not care about his whereabouts.

“What do you need, Rey..??” Ask Luna.

“Kangen is the same as you.” Reyhan replied while gently shuffling Luna's hair.

Edo who saw him immediately brushed Reyhan's hand off Luna's head, making Luna and Bryan surprised.

“Lo greet.??” Reyhan asked with a dislike look.

“Gue Edo.” Edo answered Reyhan's gaze sharply.

“Your girlfriend, Na.??” Reyhan asked Luna.

“Not, Rey. Butiiii.” Luna replied confusedly.

“That means you can't interfere in my affairs with Luna.” Reyhan Cibir.

Edo clenched his hands and continued staring intently at Reyhan.

“I just want to know if the group task deadline is advanced, tomorrow must be collected. Others cannot join because there is an event. So we have to finish today. But since morning you can not be contacted.” Reyhan.

“Iya, soriii. earlier this morning my HP fell and died, and I have not had time to fix.” Luna.

“Gapapa... want to leave now..?? We can work at the Rainbow cafe, there the place is cool.” Reyhan said with a meaningful smile.

“Ga in the library only kayak usually.??” Ask Luna doubtfully.

“Bosen, Na. Looking for a new atmosphere. Want yaaa.” Reyhan said persuaded.

Luna seemed to think for a moment then looked towards Edo with a questioning gaze. But Edo just threw away his face as if he did not care.

“Good. We're going there now. I happen to have no class.” Said Luna who greeted Reyhan with a sparkling face.

Edo turned his head back towards Luna and looked surprised, He saw Reyhan staring at her with a triumphant smile.

“E.. Bryan.. I go first.” Luna said as she waved her hand and passed away.

Edo looked at Luna and Reyhan with a dislike look. Somehow he was angry to see Luna agree to go with Reyhan. It felt like he wanted to pull Luna's hand and keep her away from Reyhan. And Reyhan, Edo felt there was something strange about the young man.

“Lo sure this Luna go together Reyhan, Ed..??” Ask Bryan.

“Indeed why..?? That's none of my business.” Edo sewot replied, his eyes still staring at Luna who was getting away.

“Reyhan is not a nice guy. Every night he goes to the club and plays women. He also often takes girls from other campuses check-in to the hotel.” Bryan.

“Lo sure, Bry..??” Edo asked in surprise.

“Lo forgot my greeting..?? I often see him at my club. Bad reputation he did not come here because he was always looking for prey from other campuses. I'm sure even Luna doesn't know what a guy who's gone with her is.” Said Bryan again. Edo was silent with an unpredictable look on his face.

“Not my business.” Edo said passing away.

Bryan could only shake his head. From everywhere it is clear that Edo also has feelings for Luna. He wondered why Edo insisted on not admitting it. Bryan finally followed Edo to their class.

During class, Edo seemed unfocused. She kept moving her legs under the chair, her habit of feeling nervous or impatient every time. Bryan who was sitting next to Edo could only snort angrily as the sound of Edo's foot tremors bothered him greatly.

“Pak, sorry I permission to leave class early. There is an emergency.” Edo said to his class lecturer and ran out of the room.

“Tu kid why, Bry..??” Bisik Aris's.

“Coset.” Answer Bryan's origin. He was very confident Edo would catch up with Luna and Reyhan.

Edo grabbed his jacket and fixed the position of the mask he was wearing to cover his face. He would occasionally cough so as not to arouse suspicion in those around him. Edo sat 3 tables away from Luna and Reyhan. Not close, but he could clearly watch their every move. Edo keeps a close eye on Luna and Reyhan from his desk, ignoring the waitress who had been waiting to take down his order.

“Mas, so pesen ga.??” The girl began to get upset. Edo turned his head for a moment then his gaze returned to Luna and Reyhan's table.

“Give 1 of the most recommended drinks and foods here.” Edo said without looking at the menu.

“Good.” Said the girl then walked away from Edo with a grunt.

“Order, mas.” Said waitres while putting the order on Edo's desk. Edo's eyes rounded as he looked at the food and drink in front of him.

“What is this.??” Edo asked in horror.

“Mass order. Level 10 spicy gravy noodles and strawberry milkshake.” Answer the girl.

“I ordered this, mb..??” edo asked with a look of horror at the food and drink on his desk.

“Kan earlier mas itself who said to ask for the most recommended menu at this cafe. Yes this is the best selling.” The girl said indifferently and left Edo who was still agape.

For a moment Edo's attention was turned to the food and drink in front of him. Slowly Edo stirred the noodles and saw so many chili pieces floating on top of the food. Then he looked at his drink. Edo hated milk because during his illness he was forced to drink milk for his health. And he couldn't stand spicy food.

Edo chose not to touch the food instead of having to go back and forth to the bathroom all day. He looked back at Luna's desk and was surprised to see that Luna and Reyhan were no longer there. Edo took the wallet and left a hundred thousand pieces of money at the table and rushed out to look for Luna. Arriving outside he saw Reyhan's car had darted away leaving the Rainbow cafe area.

“Siaaaaall..!!” Rutuk Edo in heart. He ran to his car and followed Reyhan's car.

****

Luna sits sweetly in Reyhan's car. He was relieved to have successfully completed the group task despite only working on it together with Reyhan. Reyhan offers to drive Luna home, but Luna refuses because her car is still on campus. Reyhan offers to take Luna back to their college. Along the way they continued to talk and joke making Luna not pay attention to the road. Until Luna realized the road they passed was very quiet and the road did not go to the campus.

“Rey, where is this..?? How are we going through here, Rey..?” Ask Luna confused. Reyhan just kept quiet and smiled obliquely.

“Rey, I'm down here only.” Pinta Luna when she saw the streets getting quieter and darker. Reyhan remained silent disregarding Luna.

“Rey, please put me down here.” Luna started to get scared. He tried to open the car door but Reyhan had locked it.

Reyhan's car stopped in front of a large enough house but looked uninhabited. It makes Luna panic.

“Down.!!” Reyhan's orders in a cold voice.

“No..!! This where..?? Why did you bring me here.??!!” Reject Luna.

“Kalo lo ga down, I perk*a lo here.” Sahut Reyhan with a terrible grin.

He grabs Luna's hand and pulls her but the girl is completely rebellious until Reyhan gets into trouble.

“Aaaaaaarrrgh.!!” Reyhan shouted because Luna bit her hand hard to bleed.

Reyhan was furious that Luna dared to hurt him and the girl seemed to be looking at him fearlessly. Reyhan raised his hand to slap Luna but the girl curled up and protected her face and body from Reyhan's attack with both hands. Luna kept shouting for help even though she wasn't sure anyone heard her.

BRAAAAKK..!!

Suddenly the sound of car glass breaking. Apparently Edo broke the glass of the car door on Reyhan's side using a stone. After the glass was completely broken, Edo quickly opened the lock and the car door and pulled Reyhan out. Edo immediately beat Reyhan blindly. Reyhan who was not ready at all did not have time to fight until finally sprawled helpless.

“Edo, stop..!! I beg you stop.!!” Excited Luna while hugging Edo from behind. Edo who felt the embrace of Luna gasped and realized from her anger.

“Edo, please stop. I don't want you to get in trouble.” Said Luna sobbing without letting go of her embrace.

Edo releases Luna's embrace and pulls the girl away from Reyhan. Edo opened the car door and pushed Luna's body in and closed it hard enough.

Along the way Edo was silent with a cold and scary face. Luna did not dare to harass Edo. As long as he knew Edo he had never seen him like this. Although often cranky and sometimes fierce, but Edo never angry. Luna was shocked when Edo suddenly sidestepped her car.

“Can't you be more careful, though,. Al..??!! Why are you so easy to accept a male invitation to come out..??!! Can you imagine what it would have been like if I hadn't been following you guys.??!!” Edo was angry.

“Maaaff.. I just want to finish our group task. Reyhan has always been kind. I didn't think it turned out to be him..” Luna fell silent and began to sob.

Edo who was still angry became heartless. The Luna he knew had always been brave and feisty. He never saw the girl cry. Now seeing him cry somehow made Edo's heart ache. Edo reached out a hand gently stroking the girl's head. Luna was surprised and turned to Edo, looking at him in disbelief. Edo who regained consciousness immediately pulled his hand.

“Where is your home..?? I'll drop you off.” Said Edo ketus.

“Antar I went back to campus. My car is still there.” Said Luna smiling sweetly.

“You sure..??” Edo's question was answered nodding by Luna. Edo is running his car.

“By the way, why are you following me and Reyhan.??” Asked Luna with a full glance. Edo looked nervous at Luna's question.

“Who is following you..?? I just accidentally saw you guys. Because I felt something was wrong so I followed you guys.” Answer Edo accordingly.

“Where are you going to see me and Reyhan.??” Ask Luna again.

“Not your business.” Answer Edo quickly.

“Yakin not because you are jealous continue to finally follow me with Reyhan.??” Luna with a sparkling face. Edo turned back to his car and stopped.

“Down.!!” Said Edo.

“Eeeh.. what..??” Luna asked in surprise.

“If you are still chatty just mending you down here.” Said Edo Sewot.

“Oke.. I'll be diem. Don't ask questions again.” Luna said grinningly as she raised her two fingers to form the letter V.

Edo snorted angrily and returned his car to the campus. Throughout the rest of the journey Luna continued to smile. He was happy to know that Edo cared about him. Luna was sure, Edo also had the same feelings as her.
