La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 4

He didn't know what to breathe or what. What is clear since this morning knowing Luna was no longer in his arms when he woke up, he was not focused on doing anything.

"Uncle called?"

Stefan came to see Ellard after finishing his business with Aglen. He tried as calmly as possible when dealing with his father's sister.

"You busy?"

"What's wrong uncle? Can I help you?" stefan's question was increasingly made curious by his uncle.

"Luna majored in Economics and Business, Stef. I want you to help him study, or at least get him an internship at your company," Ellard said, and of course he won't be approved by Stefan at this time.

"It's not too early, Uncle. Luna had just been in second semester, many things had not been learned in theory. That will make the practice slow. Unless he has mastered all his theories." Stefan tried to dodge as smoothly as possible.

"I can't wait for him to join my company, Stef. She's my only daughter. Who had been miserable his whole life before meeting me." Ellard stared inside, a photo of the little girl in front of him.

Yeah, it's a picture of Luna when she was five. Ellard took it from a photo album given by Keiko along with Luna's handing over to her. The photo album was deliberately made Keiko as a memory for the woman. But now, Keiko thinks that Ellard is more entitled to have it.

Stefan realized, how great a pity Ellard for Luna. It made Stefan even more afraid to imagine his uncle's reaction if he found out that he was the one who desecrated Luna.

I don't know, right now his career is really at its peak. If this incident were to come to light, it would definitely have an effect on all his businesses.

"It's best to let Luna study on campus first, Uncle. I promise I'll guide him when the time comes." The promise Stefan made was not real. This was just a diversion so that he would no longer be asked by his uncle to guide the Efrain family's only female heir.

"Darling, you look so limp. You sick?" Just arriving, Ellard headed straight for Luna's room.

When he had just come down earlier, there was a waiter reporting that Luna had not touched any food at all this day. Making the man who was almost ninety percent of his hair filled with gray hair even more worried.

Luna touched the back of the father's hand that was stuck to her forehead. "I'm doing fine. Papa just got home?" Luna pressed the back of the warm hand against her cheek. This angel-hearted man never once made Luna sad as long as the girl lived here.

"Then why are you. From the morning Papa saw that you were not at all excited. You didn't even come out of your hoodie at all" the father said to Luna, who didn't change her clothes in the morning.

Luna smiled wryly. He had no other clothes to cover his neck. If he were to change with the others, of course the signs Stefan left on his body would be a question.

"I like it, Pa," replied Luna giving an excuse.

"Why not eat if you're okay? Only people who are having problems who do not need to eat. Is there something you want to tell papa?" Ellard realized that there was something hidden by her daughter. I don't know if Ellard doesn't know. But Ellard also could not force Luna to tell him.

Because of course the level of trust his daughter had in him was not one hundred percent. They had just met and had only been living together for a year. There was a lot Ellard had to understand slowly from the teenage girl who even took nearly ninety percent of her genes.

Luna shook her head. "Let me alone, Pa." Luna's gaze wavered, begging to be given space to think of a way out of her problem.

"alright. Call Papa if you're ready to tell the story" Ellard broke up. He saw the anxiety. But I dare not look any further.

Ellard left Luna still lying face down on her bed.

Luna walked alone, that midnight. His mind was not calm hiding something this big. Things that will definitely tarnish the big name of Efrain if it reaches sniffed media.

The girl went down the stairs, the dim lights of the room made her carefully step her feet.

Tonight he was forced to come down with thirst to bite his throat. The girl stopped for a moment. His eyes enjoyed the tranquil home atmosphere of his father's home.

I don't know why she suddenly wanted to cry. It seemed, the original decision he had thought of all day would make him miss this house. The house he took refuge in the past year.

After taking a glass of cold water from the refrigerator and draining it to the toilet, Luna dragged her feet out of the house to the park.

Looking at the dark night sky and contrasting with the bright sprinkling of stars and moon made him tempted.

The girl used to enjoy the night alone while still living with Keiko's mother. He was lonely because he was alone, but he still tried to be happy. No matter what the circumstances were, mama Keiko had given her the best with all her might.

Luna's steps slowed down when she realized that someone else was sitting in a park chair, alone.

Apparently the middle-aged man he called papa was just like him. I love the sky and everything up there. It was evident that the father looked up, motionless.

"Papa."

Ellard who was startled to hear someone calling him immediately turned his head. The man showed his smile. Although the tired and sleep-deprived murat dominated the ripples of his face.

"Not sleeping, honey?" ask Ellard. The man stood up and approached his daughter, then brought Luna to sit in the same place.

"What are you doing here? It's dark and it's late at night" Luna's great-grandson just left the house almost in the middle of the night. And even found the father here.

"Hmmm...." Ellard's chin was pointing at the sky. "I love the night sky, son. It's soothing to see it." Ellard looked at Luna's face, there was a shadow of Hannah's face there.

"It's impossible for you to come out just to see it, isn't it?"

"Hemmm ... Youre right. Papa has just finished some work, and is not yet sleepy" replied Ellard who was embracing Luna's shoulder.

"Why not just Aglen Pa? Shouldn't papa stay watching and enjoy the results of this papa's hard work. At least not for overtime work," said Luna who swallowed bitter salivation. Luna was afraid the reason was her.

"Aglen hasn't been so good, honey. Does papa look so pathetic that you feel sorry for hemm?" The white-haired man with some black tendrils gently rubbed the top of Luna's head.

"I'm not pity. But because you're my papa. Does that attention need a reason?" Ellard shakes.

Our son is really your duplicate, Hannah. His physique has inherited my genes. But his heart, one hundred percent yours.

"Papa has to promise me. If I've graduated college, Papa should take a pension and enjoy life. When will Papa enjoy all this work? Papa's been fighting so hard for this family." Luna is very affectionate with her father, even though they have only been together this year.
