Attracted By The Moon
Chapter 17: Dinner

At 17:30...

The moon and Bima just came out of the Asiatoon building. The moon begged that the process of deletion of her plagiarized works be hastened. So as not to interfere with the process of launching raw posters that will be released in 2 days.

The director agreed, as long as the Moon is willing to sign a statement that it is true that the contracted work is not the work, and it is plagiarism. Because the platfrom suspect Moon playing with the script in order to get more profit. Luckily Bima helped explain, until the Director immediately reviewed.

As Bima walked towards the car, the Moon who was a few steps behind her crouched down for a while. His legs were completely limp imagining what had happened to his script.

"You okay?" Bima immediately turned around when she realized the silent footsteps of the Moon.

"Well.." said Moon nodded, holding his chest closed.

"Hurry up, there is still something we have to do in the office." ketus Bima continued his steps.

Inevitably the Moon stood up, but she had only released half her uneasiness. "ch, how could she have turned like this? He used to be gentle. Was he acting fake on social media?" his murmuring while staring resentfully at Bima's back.

...************...

Today is the anniversary of her parents' wedding. As in previous years, Moon returned home to taste the mother's dishes.

"In a year you only set foot in this house twice. Do I need to have a ceremony every day so you can go home more often?"

Saras babbles at his daughter while preparing some special dishes. There's tarts, there's candied fruit, there's also a bouquet of chocolates ordered by Moon's father, Raul.

"Eat, this sweet I ordered at your grocery store. You must like it." said Raul gave a piece of sweets with a small fork, he was about to feed it to his daughter.

But the Moon was reluctant, with a careless face he took a fork of his own and tasted the cut of sweets. It made Raul smile a little sour. I don't know when he and the Moon will be this far away.

"How's the fraud case mom? Have you met the guy?"

The moon deliberately diverted the atmosphere between him and his father. He was uncomfortable being around his father.

"From what I hear, the leader is like a mafia. But whether he's a mobster or a god, a conman is still a con man. He must accept the reward."

"Why in this world are so many depraved people." Complaining the Moon while sighing, he confirmed the sentence as if deliberately addressed to his Father.

"You must not speak harshly in front of food." said Saras, seeing the distance between husband and son is not new. He was tired of advising the Moon in various ways, still the Moon did not want to open up to his father.

Saras remembered Bima, seeing the face of the Moon was very emotional yesterday made him suspicious.

"By the way you didn't kill that kid, did you?"

"That scab guy?" Moon ensure.

"I gave him a chicken t4i yesterday." He said, casually he chewed food even though he was talking about dirt.

"Crazy base..! Why are you doing that, huh?" Saras did not think that his only daughter could not be sane.

They are working together, in other words the Moon depends 20 percent of its fate on Bima, then why his attitude like a bored person living.

"Mom, 18 years old I'm pictured with the smell of chicken shit because of his actions. You think I can just shut up, huh?"

"But still, you should have held back. Next time don't act stupid like that. Now he's a grown man, no longer a canine boy who can be bullied as you please. So you need to take better care of your attitude."

"I haven't told you yet, I don't know how narrow the world is. He gave me the white carnation flower 9 years ago, and it disappeared. I must understand how much of a grudge I am."

"WHAT!!? So you don't know what you're meeting...."

"Sir, if I knew it was him, I buried him alive!"

"The boy who made you cry from chicken t4i?" He tried to get into the conversation, but the expression of the Moon changed. He looks upset.

"Mom, I want to sue that guy."

"Your father asked, answer. You never talk like strangers."

"Yes..." Moon answered his father's question, then looked back at Saras.

"Mom can you help me sue that guy?"

"Who? A milkyo? What you're doing is even worse." Saras thought superficial of his daughter's remarks just now.

"No, the one who plagiarized my novel. He harmed me, if only me and Bima did not meet Director Asiatoon, then our plans to make a film could fall apart. He's a real bitch."

"Of course, I'll find out who dares to tease my daughter." Saras promised that, even though she can not be a good mother, she will try to give her best.

"What would you give me if that person met?"

"ssss, I think she'll cut off her fingers, because she's already dared to plagiarize your work. You don't hesitate to say if anyone bullies you, I'm ready to file a lawsuit for them."

"wahh, you're really a hero, what if someone harasses me?"

Saras' smile faded, and so did Raul. They looked at the face of the Moon with many question marks.

"Who did that? Were you harassed by your office people? Who's the guy? A milkyo? or that brown-eyed young man?" He mentioned Arkana, because he did not know his name so he only mentioned the characteristic Arkana that is attached to his bright brown eyes.

Moon chuckled, "If only Mom, I knew I had such an amazing charm. I'm just on my guard, and I seem to be able to calm down because mom can cut off their fingers for me hahahah..."

"Not just fingers, mothers will cut off their genitals. But I don't think you need to do that because men will be afraid to see this form of you. hahah, don't you, honey..?" Ledek Saras while laughing crisply, he poked Raul's hand to laugh, the atmosphere is always gripping when Raul and Moon meet.

"You are, why insult our son, he is beautiful and charming, it is not wrong if he thinks like that." Sahut Raul defended, because he saw the lips of the Manyun Moon in Saras' laugh.

"True, if diligent shower certainly she will be beautiful like me hahahhahah..."

The moon is growing more and more manyun heard that. Yes, she used to be a very beautiful girl, her appearance was always neat and fragrant. But now he doesn't care about that. The more a man looks at him with one eye, the better.

"Separ ma'am.." The moon left the dinner table because her phone was ringing.

"Who..?" Whispering on the flat object, he did not want to damage the atmosphere of his parents' anniversary. The caller's number wasn't on the contact list, making him worried. Because he never shared a number with just anyone.

📞 "I'm in front of the Cafe, Mr. Tara asked me to sign the title purchase, you can meet me right?" ask Arkana.

The moon immediately knew it was Arkana's voice, for a moment he was curious Arkana got his number from where. But his mind was immediately switched when Arkana mentioned the plagiarism case.

Not wanting this plagiarism case to be repeated again, Mr. Tara decided to buy the title Prince of illusion, so he could protect the work of the Moon. And he immediately wanted to get the signature of the Moon so that there were no more similar cases that could hinder the filming process later.

"I'm at my mother's house. Can't tomorrow?" The bargain is, there is no way he will go home to the cafe now, because the dinner is not finished yet. It's her mother's special day, she doesn't want to miss a moment that can only be felt once a year.

📞 "You're at your mother's house?" Arkana squeezed the steering wheel. His face looks angry.

📞 "I'll be there," Arkana then hangs up the phone, then drives towards Saras' house.

"What..? hello, hello..?" Call the Moon, but the phone is disconnected.

"Did he know the address?" he muttered and went back to the dining table.
