La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 18

"Emmm ... Is your company standing around long enough?" asked Luna suddenly stopping her two guests.

"You mean, my friend?" Luna nodded. "He founded it about 3-4 years ago. If I'm not mistaken, it looks like he's also from America" one of his guests said.

"Ok, thank you."

After the death of his two guests, Luna reopened the business card that she had squeezed.

Pauline Osbert, someone from the past. A former friend who deceived him and ruined his life. Why is that woman here too?

There are not many other countries to visit. Why did he choose Canada? Like himself.

"El haven't come home yet, Pa? "

"Are you okay, sweetie?" Ellard who had just come down from the top floor immediately got a hug from Luna.

"I'm fine, Pa. Adam was too worried about me. Look, I'm okay, right?" Luna turned her body to convince her father. He was sick, but the woman could still endure it.

"It's natural that the husband is worried about his wife. Aglen always forgets the time when it's with that little girl." Ellard stroked the top of the child's head. Trying to calm her down though this is not the first time her son has forgotten the time when he is with Elea.

But usually, Aglen would call if he came home late, whereas this time not at all.

"You have to take care of your health, honey. Take a vacation, even you haven't been on vacation since your honeymoon after marriage first," said Ellard who worried about Luna.

"I'm good, Pa. Stop worrying about me." The woman put on a fierce face for the attention of the father who he judged excessive.

But not Ellard's name if not that careful. Because the old man had promised himself Luna's life.

"You're Papa's little girl forever. And refuse as hard as anything, Papa will still be like this throughout Papa's life" Ellard said. Every time a moment like this, a shadow of the past always flashed through Ellard's brain.

"Yes. I'm sorry, Pa" Luna slammed into his father's arms. "Stop proving anything, Papa is the best and greatest dad I've ever had."

Luna wiped the clear grains coming out from the corner of her eye.

"They're coming" whispered Ellard as she saw the figure of the beloved granddaughter running in.

"Mama.." yelled at the little girl who immediately jumped in Luna's arms, as the woman twisted her body.

"Dear, where have you been? Fun to play with Uncle, hemm?" Luna kissed her little daughter who was still in her arms.

"El was thrilled. Moreover, there was a handsome Uncle who also joined earlier," said the little girl who attended school in the play group.

"Party-looking? Of course Uncle Aglen is handsome, El bought anything just now?"

"A lot of it, Ma. Handsome Uncle bought a lot of toys," the smile on Elea's face did not fade. ever since he came, let alone mention his handsome uncle.

"I'm sorry I'm late" said Aglen, who entered behind Elea.

"You're always forgetting time. El was a kid, Ag. He must have not eaten since!" Ellard slightly pressed his words. Because today Agnen took Elea quite a long time outside and without telling at all. The man was afraid that his granddaughter would not be noticed for eating by her son.

"Just calm down, Pa. All under control" said Aglen casually.

It turned out that behind Aglen, there was still one more person coming with them.

Stefan, as soon as the man is seen, Luna's heart heats up. The woman clasped her fingers until her books turned white.

Stefan came with a lot of paper bags in his hand. None other than that, all of them were toys he bought for Elea.

The man stared as the distance between himself and Luna grew closer. Moreover, getting the look of hatred from the woman who had adorned her dreams the past few years, was stifling.

"Yes Uncle. Sorry." Stefan spoke slowly, realizing his mistake. "Hi, Lun." her voice was soft, hesitating on the cousin's broom next to Ellard. Even then, of course Stefan did not expect a good answer or response.

Luna was seen several times escaping her gaze elsewhere. His chest continued to rumble, every time he saw Stefan because of the only hatred he felt. But of course he can't show it here.

"Hi."

Short and smooth. And I didn't see anyone greeting him.

"That's Handsome Uncle, Ma. Uncle bought a lot of toys for El." The little girl told her honestly.

Luna snorted in annoyance. Why Stefan bought it, not Aglen. Especially in large numbers.

"It's not much, El." Stefan placed the paper bag he was carrying near Luna standing up. "Thank you for playing with Uncle" he said. Stefan looked at Elea.

Stefan bowed and Elea ran over to him. Without warning, the little girl hugged Stefan to make Luna and the man shocked.

"Thank you Handsome Uncle, next time we'll play around again." The little girl whispered to Stefan. What he said made the man stupefied.

A happy tinge appeared on the beautiful face of the little girl. No doubt, Elea is very happy to play with Stefan.

"Ec ... El, Mama...."

"Uncle Stefan must be tired. He just came from a long trip, didn't he? Let him rest, dear, yes" said Ellard ahead of Luna. "Take it up, Ag."

Looks like Ellard is aware of Luna's stiff interaction with Stefan. They had never had a serious conversation, that was what Ellard had known for a long time.

But both Luna and Stefan do look strange today. Maybe because Stefan was tired, and Luna was also sick.

Aglen immediately took his cousin upstairs. Along the way, Stefan continued to steal a look at Luna who was even reluctant to see her.

"Papa didn't say there was that guy?"

"Stefan you mean, honey?" Ellard was astonished to hear it. Luna had never mentioned anyone with such a name to her brother.

"Yes sorry, Pa. I mean, I mean." The luna quickly crept up, worried that the father realized something.

"Papa didn't know he was coming today either. Why, honey?"

"No, Pa. I'm just shocked." Luna hid her look of surprise and dislike for Stefan. "I'm going straight home, Pa."

The woman packed up and approached Elea who was opening some toys.

"Usually you come home after dinner, and wait until Adam comes home?"

"I forgot to tell Papa, Adam has gone home first. He's waiting for us to have dinner together at home." Luna lied to her father, but Adam was still in his office.

"It's up to you to help El pack first" Ellard said. The man left Luna with his granddaughter.

"Darling, we're going home now, okay?"

💜Thank you for the support🙏
