La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 136

"Uncle!"

William was stunned to see Aglen's reaction which he thought was excessive. His nephew whom he ridiculed as an old bachelor was jealous of the closeness of his father and sister.

"You used to be no rival, now feel it!" william's taunts nudging Aglen's shoulders.

"I'm not jealous, Uncle. But Papa is indeed favoritism. Once there was Luna, I became like Alex. Being here is always asked to take care of her beloved daughter, "aglen was upset. He looks like a high school kid who envies his sister.

"Geez, Brother. We all love you."

They all ended up laughing witnessing their own silliness.

"You okay, sa_?"

Bhara came suddenly. The man was seen running from the car down to the big house.

When contacted by Aglen, Bhara has arrived at the place of Luna and the driver was held captive earlier. As it happens, the stifling in that place is only done for the sake of buying time.

And when he reached the hospital, Luna and the others had already gone home. So they are at odds on the road.

Bhara approached with a worried gesture that made the brains of everyone there think to a point.

Bhara has feelings for Luna.

Yes, Bhara almost hugged his girlfriend. But Luna's refusal to approach her father made Bhara realize his mistake.

"Sorry."

The handsome man of Indonesian descent held the shame of his actions.

"Are you guys okay?" repeat by changing your word to you. Because in fact, it is the victim not only Luna but also William's driver. The worst was the driver of William.

"Uncle's driver was injured. They shot him in the leg. Thank you for helping so much. How was the trial?"

"Still reading the indictment. Tomorrow we start again with a defense from them," replied Bhara who understood what Luna meant to directly discuss the issue.

Yes, the woman saved Bhara from her family's suspicion of Bhara's feelings for the out-of-place Luna.

"Sit, Bhar. We had lunch together. Rarely do we gather here," Christina invited him to enter the dining room.

"Dear, call your daughter. He was in the backyard earlier" Christina pad Luna said.

"Yes, Bi."

All of them who were sitting at the dinner table were talking to each other about the course of the trial this morning.

"We're throwing away everyone who helped Pauline, including Edward. It's gone too far." Ellard opened up about the opponent.

"Jes get everything ready, Bhar. You also told Andrew about this, "Ellard said.

"Our evidence is very strong, there is evidence of a visa as well and some of Pauline's trips abroad during the detention period. That was more than enough to ensnare the girl with her father." William added.

Luna heard Elea's voice ringing. That sweet and soft voice sounded cheerful. And surprisingly, Elea was not sitting in the garden.

He was in William's backyard. But precisely, the singing voice of Elea was heard from within the tomb complex Stefan. It means Elea's in there.

What else is he there?

Luna shook her head slowly. She always does something unique. He understands that Stefan is gone. I don't know, Elea's answers when given understanding by Luna always indicate that. But somehow his passion for playing with Stefan still exists even though the conditions are different now.

The closer you get to hearing what Elea is singing. Only the children's songs that he often heard but with lyrics that Luna had never heard before.

Like other young children, Elea often changed the lyrics of songs she liked herself.

The essence of the lyrics that Elea sings. That the little girl told me about her longing for a father she called a hero. The father who can invite him to play every day, take him to school also who will always accompany him on weekends.

Luna choked, her footsteps stopping as her feet were already poked at the end of the entrance to Stefan's tomb.

He only realized that the wounds Adam incised were not just about yesterday's kidnapping. But also what Adam did for years without the man noticing.

By never taking Elea to school, never accompanied her to play and always reasoned there was work outside on weekends. All of these things were further strengthened if in fact, Adam did not admit that Elea was his son. Adam was not his father biologically.

"Uncle, Mama said we'd stay here. It makes me happy because I won't be far with Uncle. If I miss my uncle, I easily come here" said Elea with her distinctive story style.

The little girl patted the mound of earth in front of her. Elea also carried water in a dipper that was used to wet the mound and wash Stefan's headstone. What Christina always does when she comes here.

"El ... Dear."

"Mama!"

Between shock and delight, Elea turned her head and stood up. He approached Luna who was still staring at the entrance.

"What's wrong, baby?" ask Luna softly.

"El just sings so that uncle doesn't get tired of being alone there, Ma," Elea replied innocently. His finger pointed at the mound of earth in Stefan's tomb. "If we sing, will uncle in heaven hear it, Ma?"

"Ec ... It's probable. Mama doesn't know either." Luna was confused as to what to answer. "But clearly, every prayer we make will come to Uncle Stefan, dear."

"Really, Ma?"

Luna nodded and saw Elea's bright smile that suddenly widened.

"It's lunch time. Elea had been waiting for grandfather and the others." tell Luna to have her little daughter hurry up.

"All right."

Elea takes Luna's hand out of Stefan's tomb.

"If El prays to see uncle again, will uncle be allowed to meet El, Ma?"

Luna nodded and stopped for a moment. Elea's questions always made her think many times before answering her.

"Isn't that what it means, honey?" The woman cleared her throat looking for the right answer that did not make Elea curious and hunted for the answer to satisfy her again.

"So, if Elea prays good things for uncle, then it will be conveyed like that. But it's not a prayer to meet uncle, dear." Luna clarified her words, hoping that her little daughter understood the direction of what she was saying.

Because it's impossible, El.

"But from yesterday, El always prayed to have Uncle Stefan see El again, Ma. Said Mama El could pray anything for Uncle Stefan. El just wants it, Ma," said Elea who increasingly sounding soft and disappointed.

Luna looked at Stefan's beautiful little face, then pulled the body of her little daughter in an embrace.

"May God grant El's prayer, yes," said Luna encouragingly, even though it was something impossible.

"It ... Let's eat first. Later on Ima Christina will scream again if Elea is preoccupied with playing until she misses lunch."
