La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 22

Stefan's thin smile was reflected when he read verse by verse writing from a piece of paper in his hand.

"Elea, you're beautiful like your mother. And Aglen is indeed observant. Your face is mine." Stefan let out his breath many times. Between happy and disbelieving, if the little girl who called him handsome uncle was his flesh blood.

This afternoon, after Luna's company, Stefan stopped by the lab to take a DNA test of a sample of himself and Elea.

And although this man had guessed before, but still he was very happy to get the news that one hundred percent guaranteed this authenticity.

Toretto deserves a prize. If it wasn't for the info, Stefan wouldn't have possibly been suspicious and gone this far.

The screams of the children coming home from school spread the man's daydream.

Stefan swiftly got out of his car, then headed to the front of the gate, waiting for the figure of the little girl to appear.

Elea came out of her nanny's mother, the little girl was in a daze looking for the figure that would pick her up.

"Who picked up Elea?" ask the nanny's mom.

"Maybe it's not here yet, ma'am." The girl still did not give up.

But a moment later her beautiful smile reviewed seeing a familiar figure.

"Uncle Handsome," he murmured. "Uncle...." Elea shouted and waved her hand at Stefan who stood staring at her.

The man replied then walked over to the two.

"El know? I've never seen this uncle. Is he El's uncle or which brother?" This young and graceful woman asked in detail. Because he is responsible for the students under his care.

"I'm his uncle, Mom." Stefan nodded politely at the woman.

"Yes. It's Good-looking Uncle, Oops...." This little girl smothered her own mouth, making Stefan who accidentally heard her smile happily.

The little girl called him handsome uncle.

"Uncle Stefan means, Mom." Elea repeated her words.

"Sorry, Sir. Can I get proof if you are indeed Elea's brother?"

"Ec ... Let's call Elea's grandfather, Mr. Ellard. I asked him for permission to pick up El."

Stefan immediately pulled out his phone, trying to reach Ellard with a video call.

Shortly after, Ellard's face was seen talking to Elea's mother. The little girl was allowed to go home with Stefan.

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

"Where are we going for a walk, Uncle?" tanya Elea spoiled. The little girl was comfortable with Stefan even though they had only met twice this time.

It was as if their togetherness had happened long enough.

"Sadly, Uncle can just pick you up and take you home to Grandpa."

Elea was disappointed, her face suddenly changed. And stefan saw it.

"Darling...." The man stretched out his hand, took Elea's hair and slipped it behind her ear.

"I guess Uncle Stefan's here to take a walk like Uncle Aglen." Elea's voice raucous. The little girl seemed to be crying. Stefan decided to pull the car over.

"Tempo days, El's been out with Uncle, hasn't he? Where does El want to go? Or we'll stop by for a while at the gelato shop, and we'll just go home" whispered Stefan to Elea.

"By ... Can ... Uncle. I like gelato. Let's go," cried Elea in excitement. The little girl imitated the movement of the flying superman.

"Mom. We have a problem" Emma said when Luna had just put down her bag.

Even Adam, who had taken her to the room, was still there.

"What problems? Why didn't you call me, Em?"

"Darling, you need help?" adam asked his wife. Just arriving, Luna had to listen to the problems that were happening in her company.

"No dear, go. I'm sure I can finish it." Luna encouraged her husband to leave.

"You sure you don't need my help, honey?" The man still asked even though his wife had pushed him out.

"of course. One hundred percent I'm sure. Papa must have been waiting for you, go, baby," drive Luna out.

"Alright, Honey. Yea...." Adam waved his hand before leaving and gave a kiss from afar that only the woman smiled back.

"Mother Luna's phone is inactive. I'm trying to cope with all I can." Emma tried to calm down even though she couldn't.

"Isn't he?" Luna immediately picked up the flat object in her bag. "Oh, my goodness. The battery must be out. Last night I forgot to fill it," Luna complained to herself. "Don't spit out our problems carelessly even if it's my husband. We can definitely finish it later." Luna warned her secretary.

"Sorry, Mom. I was panicking too much. All this time we are fine," complained Emma who may have been in the comfort zone because of the lack of complaints from customers.

Although this company is relatively new, but a lot of recognition from the public if the security that became the main facility is the best in the country.

"Tell Em?" Luna walked to a small table near her desk, to charge her phone.

"There's one customer claiming to have lost a valuable item that was deposited here, ma'am."

"What's? That's not possible! By far, our best security in the country, Em." Luna was surprised not to play.

This is the first case in three years that the company has been established.

"I'm confused too, Mom. These few months, we are indeed many new customers, so I can not memorize it.

Registered on behalf of Miss Angeline. Our premium customer, has lost his diamond necklace with sapphire which he said there are only 5 in the world. And price...."

Luna remained silent. From the mimic of Emma's face has been read, if the necklace is not possible only worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.

"Have anyone been here?"

"That morning, Miss Angeline's representative, ma'am. And it happened yesterday. Miss Angeline herself was here to pick it up, but the necklace wasn't there."

"Yesterday? Why are you reporting today?" tanya Luna started to suspect something.

"I just got a report today, Mom. The manager on duty yesterday said, Miss Angeline will be in touch with Mom herself. And he forbade them to report it" explained Emma who interrogated the parties themselves.

"Call all managers now!"

"Good, Mom."

"You?" Stefan had just spiked gelato twice into his mouth. But Elea's glance stopped her third bribe.

"It looks like Uncle's gelato is better" said the little girl holding her chin on the table.

"Uncle order again, huh? Or just wrapped," Stefan bargained.

The man was afraid of being there for too long. Because he had promised his uncle to bring Elea home immediately.

Elea had even finished a bowl of gelato cioccolato fondente. And he still wants Stefan's gelato.

But the little girl shook her head, rejecting Stefan's offer. "What's that taste, Uncle?" point Elea to Stefan's bowl.

"This is called Bacio gelato, a blend of chocolate and hazelnuts. Uncle likes chocolate but doesn't like sweet. It's really delicious. Try." Stefan slipped his gel into Elea's little mouth.

"Hmmm ... Really delicious. I should have ordered this one, Uncle," said Elea, who opened her mouth again asking to be fed.

And Stefan was happy to do it. The man imagined, if he knew from the beginning Elea existed, surely he would not miss the sweetest times like this.

Feeding Elea while eating while teasing her. And even she willingly drank Elea's food just because the little girl hugged her when the food she had brought had not been cleaned.

Her happiness.

"Uncle?"

"Eh ... Ja. It's over, isn't it? El want some more?" Stefan said spontaneously seeing his empty bowl.

"Take it home. Um, p

Uncle... El can I have another one for Mama?" The little girl blinked cutely with a plea huh.

"of course. For papa can also. How much do you want?"

"Daddy, Uncle. Daddy doesn't like gelato. But Mama likes it like El and Uncle." Elea's answer made Stefan stunned.

"What flavor?"

"Just like Uncle, bacio two." Elea pointed her two fingers and moved them like scissors.

"Ready captain!" stefan raised his hand near his head. Military-style respect for Elea.

Elea is beautiful.

Eleanor Ellard Efrain's. That's how his name should be.

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

"Yes, Ma."

"Honey, isn't there a vacancy for Kylie in your company?"

The voice from across the street is Lilyana Walton, Adam's mother.

"Yet, Ma. Kylie was in papa's company first. Later if there's a vacancy here, Adam pull Kylie here." Adam answers his mother's phone while focusing on his macbook.

"Your papa company is unreliable. Kylie doesn't want to work there, "your mother.

"Just looking for experience, Ma. Tell him like I said. I promise I'll try to get him to work here. Yes, it is, Ma. Sorry I got a lot of work," break up Adam.

"Why didn't you ask Luna? She's your wife, honey. His father was kind and understanding to our family" said the mother fishing.

"Ma, Papa Ellard is really good. He gave it all without us asking. For something like this, I take care of Luna's feelings a lot. He recruits his employees professionally, even with his own family. I know Kylie. He has not met the standards perusa_"

And suddenly the call died. Adam just snorted in response. His mother always did so if she had a disagreement about something.

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

"Em, put any files on Angeline in the car. I'm just gonna go home." Luna suddenly came home early because she did not focus on checking everything in her office. He really needed a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

"Don't forget to send CCTV footage from the moment she arrives until she leaves" Luna recalled to her secretary.

"Everything, Mom?"

"Yes, no matter how short it looks on our CCTV cameras. Including their arrival today."

"Good ma'am."

"My neck was suddenly tense." Luna kneaded herself at the back of her neck to relax her muscles and relax her brain.

"Mom's got less rest for sure." Emma swiftly approached and helped her boss pinpoint the back area of her head that she complained about.

"I've been helping Adam's work for a few days. Maybe I just lack sleep" luna lamented.

"Mom worked too hard. Wasn't Mr. Adam quite reliable during this time managing the mother's company there. I'm just focused here." Emma gets very chatty about her boss.

"I feel sorry for Adam. The responsibility is too big. Not to mention that papa gave him another responsibility that was just as heavy." Luna told her secretary a little.

"Maybe I need to find a personal assistant for Mr. Adam. So that I'm no longer tired like this. Which is also good, of course,"

"May also be your idea. I'll try to find him. Must be good!" muttered Luna lirih.

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

"Good afternoon Mama."

Elea's cheerful face always makes Luna's day coloured. As bitter and as damned as anything, children never fail to entertain.

"Hi, Pretty! Is your mom's son home? Who's driving you, honey?"

"Uncle Alex picked up from grandpa's house. Mama's sick?" Luna gasped. His little girl was that kind of with him.

"Just a little...." A thin smile was reviewed so that his beloved daughter was not too worried about him.

"Mama looks pale and .. not excited. But calm down, El has a cure for it" said Elea sparkling.

The little girl immediately ran towards the refrigerator and pulled something out of it.

"For Mama." Elea thrust out a box of tempting gelato.

"Wahhh .. seems so good. Mama must be healed immediately if she can spend it," said Luna comforting.

But it could not be denied if his saliva almost dripped, imagining the thick and cold soft gelato filled his mouth cavity.

Elea took a spoon to Luna. "Mom spend it, yes" the little girl ordered before going to her room.

"Ready, Honey!" sahut Luna while lifting one thumb.

After Elea died, Luna went into the family room. There the woman lay her body on a single sofa that is soft facing the window. Not forgetting he brought his little daughter's gift.

"Emmm, it's really good. This ... chocolate mixed hazelnut. I think my brain is a little relaxed and...." Luna muttered to herself. Enjoy gelato spoon by spoon.

"It's premium. Papa must have bought it. Papa is always understanding." Luna continued to eat it until finally the yellow-gold box was empty.

"Geez, I've never been this greedy before" he regretted. A moment later, he laughed a little.

"Mama!"

Little footsteps sounded along with Elea's voice calling out to her from outside.

Clamps!

The door opened along with the cute little girl's smile. "Elea can sleep with Mama?"

"Of course you can, honey. Let mom clean the body m

Mama first, yeah. El just wait in the room," replied Luna wiping the black mane of Elea who was hugging her spoiled.

"Goddess ... Mama really spent it." Elea was amazed to see the empty box in front of her mother.

"Comm ... And Mama's healed, not so sick and more excited!" luna shouted out spread both her arms.

"Did you buy gelato for Mama?" ask Luna to make sure.

Elea shakes.

"Uncle Aglen? Or Uncle Alex?"

The little girl returned.

Elea hugged Luna's neck, then whispered something.

"Handsome Uncle bought it. She also loves bacio gelato, just like El chose for Mama."

Glucose!

Uhuk... Uhuk....!

"Mama. Mama's okay?" asked Elea worriedly. The mother looks to rub her throat. Then spend a glass of water that is always available at the table.

That guy again.

Luna screeched in annoyance in heart.

"Mama's okay, honey. Why not say it from the beginning?" Luna snorted furiously but she could not reveal it. She did not want Elea to be disappointed.

"Mama doesn't like it?"

"Mama likes it, honey." Luna couldn't explain it. "Did Uncle Stefan pick you up at school?"

"Yes. And El took Uncle for a walk but Uncle wouldn't. Instead, Uncle bought El, gelato. And eat it in a hurry. Said El can't be late for home."

Regret is on Elea's face. And Luna doesn't like that.

"No. It's okay." The woman pulled Elea's body into her arms. "Mama's just worried about El. Next time you have permission first with Mama, yes," Luna said to her little daughter.

"Ready, Mama!"

"Huff Papa," cried luna in the heart.
