La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 38

In the morning, Luna was sitting at the dinner table. Aunt Ofelia who watched him from morning also felt that there was a problem that was being faced by her employer.

Not to mention the male master, Adam. That man hasn't been home in days. Luna only said if there is a duty abroad that is being carried by her husband. But the mood of Luna every day certainly can not be lied to.

Everything that happened was already over the limit than usual. Somehow as bad as what, the woman who more than half of her life served the Efrain family did not know. He was just trying to be a good servant to his master for as long as he could.

"What does the lady want for breakfast? I made it special today," said Ofelia's aunt with a genuine smile that daily adorned her lips. Never never never did.

Instead of answering, Luna snorted softly. The woman is still trying to strengthen herself on what she will face later.

"Whatever Auntie makes, I'll love it" she said, forcing herself to pull the corner of her lips to smile.

"All right, but the madam has to promise to spend it?" pinta Aunty Ofelia.

Luna nodded. He came home late last night. And only looked at Elea for a moment in her room. Make sure the little girl is sound in her sleep.

"Please, Madam."

Inside the dish were scrambled eggs and pieces of avocado fruit with a simple dressing. It looks appetizing indeed, but Luna's stomach suddenly churned to reject it.

But he remembered his promise to his aunt Ofelia, so inevitably he forced bribes for the sake of bribes of food to enter his mouth.

"This is Auntie's concoction. Can strengthen the Madam's energy to be more excited today." Aunt Ofelia brought a glass of clear brown with all the spices in it.

"It should be spent too?" asked Luna who had hesitated before drinking it.

"If you can do it better, but if not it's okay, madam."

Luna drank it a little. The taste is fresh, there is a smell of ginger and lemongrass with sweetener brown sugar. Luna.

"Thank you Bi, this is so good." Miraculous indeed, after drinking the drink that Ofelia's aunt gave her stomach felt comfortable. The food that was already in his stomach did not rebel wanted to come out.

"Good morning."

Stefan's coming with Ellard behind him. Luna's strong gaze made the father immediately approach and embrace her.

"Lad...." Luna sobbed with a few clear grains that came out without her being able to bear.

"Are you sure you can do it? Papa can make things easier, and he won't risk anything on you" Ellard said. The middle-aged man would certainly do anything for his beloved daughter.

"No, Pa. Papa just needs to keep an eye on him. Luna is an adult, Luna must be able to overcome Luna's problems on her own. Luna wants to be like Papa. An Efrain must be as strong as steel, right?" luna said on the sidelines of her stuffing.

"Darling, Papa doesn't oblige you like that. There are us men who will take care of you. You don't have to be like that" Ellard's hand stroked the black mane of her favorite daughter.

"I'm an Efrain, Pa. And I'm strong just like you. I will prove it" said Luna firmly, though her eyes glazed over.

Ellard's embrace grew tighter. All this time, Ellard made things easy for her daughter. Because of course he wants to redeem the past that he never gave to him.

"Uncle stefan!" tekik Elea who had just entered the dining room. The girl ran up from beside Ofelia's aunt and jumped into Stefan's arms.

"Uncle misses you so much" said Stefan kissing Elea's forehead.

"El misses very much too." Elea's sweet smile that happily met Stefan made Luna's attention distracted. The same smile. "Why did Uncle disappear?"

"Uncle is not going anywhere, El," replied Stefan softly. The man pinched Elea's nose.

"Why are you crying, Uncle?" Elea who saw the mother's sad face immediately came down from Stefan's sling and approached the mother.

Though Luna had already broken her embrace when she heard Elea's voice coming earlier. The woman had also tried to wipe away the trace of tears on her cheeks.

"No, Honey. Just a little dust going into Mama's eyes." Luna wiped back the tears that came out because of Elea's concern for her.

"Then ... Is Mama sick?" Luna quickly shook her head.

"Mama's fine." The woman held the pain in her chest. Imagining her being separated from Elea for some time.

"To this day, El set out with Grandpa huh."

"El wants to be escorted by Uncle Stefan, does not want to be with Grandpa," refused the little girl. His eyes looked at Stefan, groaning.

Luna is wrong. The plan he's going to run this morning involves Stefan. Apart from not being able to part with Elea, the man also had to be with her this morning.

"All right, Uncle and Mama will take El to school. But then go home to pick up grandpa huh," Stefan softly bargained.

"Emmm ... Okay Uncle!" el received. The little girl went out of the dining room to get her bag.

"Stef, Uncle's taking Luna." Ellard patted Stefan on the shoulder.

"Uncle don't worry. I'll look after and do my best for luna" Stefan promised.

"Uncle trusts you." Ellard left after saying goodbye to the two of them.

Entering the company gate all looked like normal. From the outside it looks lonely. But as soon as the car passed through the lobby to get into the special basement parking lot, a lot of news seekers were waiting there.

Luna was stuck, her whole life even though she was born as an Efrain who was certainly not an ordinary person. He never came into direct contact with the news seekers. Especially for a big problem like this.

The woman opened her bag immediately. Take the sunglasses he always carries, then put them on.

His breathing was heard hunting and several times seemed to swallow his saliva.

"Quiet Luna," Stefan said.

"It feels like we're losing lives." Luna. Even if it will not be visible from the outside.

At first the news seekers were unaware of Luna's presence. Because as Stefan planned. They set out to use the man's car to outwit. Although it does not break the possibility of the news seekers will still know.

And it's true. Once they were very close, one of them knocked on the car window next to Luna because she realized her presence.

"Mom Luna, just have a minute, ma'am." The voice sounded simple from outside. From a few people, everyone finally gathered next to Stefan's car.

They are still polite by not blocking the car to keep driving. However, the sheer number of them was truly very disturbing at the moment. Especially for Luna's mentality.

In the car, Luna held back. His body trembled holding back the sobbing.

"Luna, you have to be strong. Remember we're Efrain. You said we were as strong as steel, right?" Stefan held onto Luna's fingers which felt very cold.

For this time, I don't know why Luna couldn't resist it. He really needs that power. The power a person gives even if it comes from someone he really does not want. But really, Stefan's hand on her was very influential for the woman.

"You should be able to! Now, call the other security guards to stop them from entering the basement. You need calm" said Stefan. The man gave his cell phone to Luna to call security.

Stefan broke into the basement after news scouts were intercepted by security at Luna's company.

The man, he's done parking the car. Then remove his seat belt. But Luna's hand was still reluctant to let go of Stefan's hand held tightly.

"Luna's? Hey...." Stefan moved his one free hand in front of Luna.

The woman remained silent. A worried Stefan helped Luna take off her seatbelt.

"Luna's? Don't scare me!"

"I've never faced anything like this. Am I willing?" luna's voice sounded limp and vibrated.

"you can! You should be able to." Stefan let go of Luna's hand. Then help the woman remove her sunglasses. "Drink first."

Luna followed what Stefan said. He swallowed a little of the clear liquid that the man had given him.

"Listen Luna! No one can beat you. You have to throw away your fear. I'll be with you no matter what," Stefan said.

Yes, the man's speech sounded tantalizing in Luna's ears. Should he still trust Stefan this time? And he has gone so far. Then everything must continue, no matter what.
