La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 20

The atmosphere of Elea's room was suddenly gloomy as the occupants, making Luna completely wrong to respond to her.

"El, just stay at grandpa's house, Ma. El wants to play with Uncle Aglen there."

"Honey, you can play with your mom at home. Uncle Aglen is busy working."

"There's Ellard's grandfather and also a handsome uncle, Ma. They're gonna want to play with El. I have promised." The little girl was waiting in front of her mother.

Stefan! Again he. Why was the man here when Adam and himself were completely preoccupied by their work.

"But baby...." Luna was completely out of reason to persuade Elea. He himself was preoccupied with the construction of his new building.

"alright. One night, yes. Mama promises from now on, Mama will take the time to accompany El to play," promised Luna who answered the nod of the child.

"Now El takes a shower. Then we wait for Daddy to have dinner."

"El's still full, Ma. I ate with my handsome uncle."

"Alright, then take a bath then bobo yes, dear. Mama's coming back and we'll read the story together."

"Brank ... Mama read the story again." El raised his hand excitedly.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Sorry, honey I'm late." Adam came half an hour past the usual hour he came home.

While walking, the man loosened his tie. Then kiss the reddish cheeks of Luna.

"Would you take a shower or eat first?"

"Eat it, I'm tired. After a shower, it's okay, right?"

"No." Luna shook her head while reviewing her smile. Seeing the exhausted Adam, the woman undoes her intention to talk about Elea. "Eat." The woman had finished preparing her rice and side dishes on the husband's plate.

"Where, El?"

"He's been eating with Aglen's sister. Ordinary, invited to walk after school earlier."

"Here again?" Adam was surprised, the blonde-haired man turned his head while chewing his food.

"Hmmm...." Luna nodded.

"Your brother came here a lot, yeah. Is there a new project he's working on here?"

"none. I don't know why either. Papa said, Brother Aglen just misses his nephew."

"It's weird that he comes here often" Adam's response today was different.

"Son loved El, honey. I never asked for it anyway. He himself wanted to come here. Counting on him helps take care of our child" joked Luna.

"As if we can't take good care of him."

Luna turned her head, only once did Adam's words feel awkward. Usually Adam understood everything, even whatever Luna did the man supported. But this time...

Adam finished his dinner. Then the man immediately went up without saying goodbye as usual.

Luna was silent, did she mispronounce? Maybe Adam was tired and Luna was talking too much. Hope so.

The woman immediately followed the husband upstairs. Apparently Adam was still in the bathroom finishing his cleaning ritual.

Clamps!

"Dear, I'm sorry. I'm talking at the wrong time." Luna looked into Adam's lowered eyes.

"That's it. I'm sorry too, maybe I'm so tired I'm too sensitive. Forget it, yeah." The man went on a walk in closet to pick up his pajamas after approaching his wife and hugging her.

Luna breathed a sigh of relief. Adam has been an understanding man so far.

Adam's phone rang. Luna was about to grab it but Adam was as fast as lightning ahead of her.

"Wait for me there, baby. Their habit of calling outside work hours" complained Adam who chose to go out to the balcony to answer his phone.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"You out?"

"No. I'm just at home."

Stefan's answer astonished Aglen. It's not his cousin, not at all. Is that playboy guy involved?

"Are you sure? You used to make fun of me if I refused your invitation." Aglen, who was dressed casually, came to the room that Stefan was in. The owner was staring at his cell phone.

"Go there! You're just bothering me," Stefan.

"Come on, we're having fun. Who knows you met your soul mate here. Papa said, a beautiful and friendly Canadian girl, "god Aglen teased her cousin.

"Italy is also full of beautiful women. But I found nothing there" said Stefan, who did not take his eyes off the screen, though his lips kept answering.

"That's because you're the one who closed your eyes" Aglen said. "Are you seriously never in touch with an Italian girl?"

Stefan shakes. And from her eyes, Aglen read that her cousin was not lying.

Surprising right? Stefan lived in Italy for a long time.

"Damn it! You must have tricked me Stef. I can't believe you're really insyaf. You must be just bored," Aglen whined straight away.

Stefan looked at his smile. He doesn't care what Aglen says about him.

It turns out that since then, he was looking at a video he made while with Elea at the center of the game.

Several times Stefan snorted, blaming himself for Luna's release to Canada and her inability to keep up with even searching for news of the woman he had hurt and lived in his heart.

He thought the uncle would tell Luna anything that happened including the big event that was her marriage. But apparently not.

"Eleanor Ellard Walton. Even you get the surname of a man who has absolutely no blood relation to you. In two days, I'll know who you really are. And I'm pretty sure you're my flesh and blood, my little princess."

Jemari Stefan stroked the picture of Elea who was smiling as she took the photo together earlier.

"My son...." That word sounded so sweet and special in Stefan's ear.

So many years he was separated from Luna and suddenly there was a little girl who grew up from the results of his actions.

Is this the end of his adventure?

Might as well.

It seemed, the adventure was even over without him noticing. Because since the incident that night, seeing the figure of another woman as beautiful as anything feels bland to him.

He became completely uninterested and numb. In his heart there was only Luna and Luna.

\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=\=

"Morning, Pa," Luna said to her father. He set out with Adam, and came down to say hello.

"Hi, Honey." Ellard welcomed his beloved daughter. The man got up from his seat and then kissed his daughter's cheek.

"It just so happens that you stopped by. Only you and Stefan can solve this problem."

Luna gasped. He thinks Stefan's gone. Apparently the presence of the man had something to do with the company.

"Can't we finish it ourselves, Pa? Adam has had a lot of experience over the years." Luna as much as possible prevented Stefan's presence there.

"We need Stefan, honey. Only he can afford."

And Luna could no longer argue.
