La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 67

"cn ... Is this all right, Pa?"

Angeline's chest kembis see it. Where he had been all this time, until he did not know the important truth about them.

"You can read it yourself, right? They look ordinary here. But in America, everyone knows who Efrain is. Why are you making trouble with them?" ask Ronald. The man twisted his body, then sat on his great chair.

"I hate being rejected. No one can refuse me, whoever it is!" angeline replied upset. Triviality is the aftermath of all the mess he made.

"Are you unaware of your qualities? Papa admitted Stefan Efrain is indeed a man who is not careless in choosing a partner. You know Papa's big name in Canada and Italy don't you? But the young man still rejected you. Efrain has been special for a long time. That's why Papa wanted her to be a son-in-law."

Ronald finally tells the reason why he betrothed the child to one of Efrain's heirs.

"Quality? We both come from rich families, Pa. Then especially? Are our social status the same? What more do the rich seek than to maintain their dynasties by cultivating wealth?" refute Angeline who does not understand the direction of her father's conversation.

"That's how you are, Ann. You are not much different from your mother. Always judge everything by matter."

Ronald clucked in annoyance, even his daughter was not aware of his flaws at all.

"Don't make fun of Mom, Pa! Papa gave him years of grief. So don't blame this on her."

Angeline defends. To his knowledge, only his mother was with him when he grew up.

"alright. Papa not much time, there is still a meeting after this. Solve your own problems, Papa won't interfere this time, and maybe so on!" Ronald got up from his seat, staring resentfully at Angeline.

"One more thing! Hire a lawyer with your own money. Two of our companies in Toronto were in your hands five years ago. But you keep gnawing at the finances here. From today, Papa decides that the ownership of the company is in your hands. And you have no right to take anything here."

Ronald's decision was right, he said. Because Angeline had never reported the finances of the company she was responsible for, for five years was in her grasp.

The trouble maker girl even repeatedly took money in the company of the father. Where he only has the status of the head of shadow marketing. The name was plastered, but his daily life never once worked there. He only came to ask for money without any intention of helping his father.

And his fault, Ronald just silenced it. Because everything Angeline does can still be covered. But apparently, his actions even plunged the child.

"Papa...?"

"Yes. You're an adult, Ann. You should have solved all your problems yourself. Papa's been giving you enough all this time."

This is the hardest thing a father has to do to his daughter. As bad as it is, what Angeline does is the fruit of the disharmony of her relationship with her first wife.

That's why Ronald is letting the girl walk on her own now. Let him know that the world is this hard. And he couldn't possibly just rely on his father's big name to solve every mess he made.

After saying that, Ronald took his suit. The man was wearing it while walking out of the room. Leaving Angeline with a broken heart.

The girl herself now. No one protected him, nor became a shield for all the problems he caused.

"Pa...."

Luna pulled the arm of the father who was walking in front of her.

In this house, only Luna was wearing her pajamas. Because the others were already preparing to leave.

"What's up, honey?"

"I ... Tait, El." Luna bit her lower lip. It seemed like there was something else he wanted to say, but it was snuffed out.

"Calm down, El is with Papa. We'll take care of him." Ellard turned to look at the child.

"Can...?"

"What?" Ellard patiently waited. I don't know what her daughter wants to say.

"Well, soon the box will be locked. Get there." Ellard patted Luna's shoulder gently. The man pointed to the room where Stefan's coffin was.

Luna hurried. He did not want to prolong the work of his father's men just by waiting for him.

As soon as he reached the entrance of a room designated by Ellard, Luna's eyes condensed. He looked there and saw the coffin open. And saw some people surrounding him.

"Please Madam. Sorry can't take long. Because we're chasing time to get going."

Someone who looks like the leader of all that is there invites Luna.

The man then invited the others to leave Luna alone. Give the woman time to say goodbye to Stefan.

Luna stepped forward. His steps were uninspired. Before reaching the square piece of wood that will take Stefan to his final resting place, Luna was left behind. Several times he stopped and strengthened his heart.

Even this time, Luna's knees felt limp. His joints seemed to have slipped from his bones.

Then with tears breaking, Luna ran to slash the distance that was only a few footsteps away.

"Stefans...."

What looks like there is a real surprise. The lifeless body that was stretched stiff was completely unrecognizable. The visible injuries as well as some parts of the body that are not intact make Luna several times take a long breath to expel the feeling of tightness.

Luna's hand is outstretched. He took a seat right next to the crate in pure white. His fingers infiltrated, gently rubbing the face of the body wrapped in transparent protective.

"I'm sorry ... You hurt me but now I'm the one apologizing to you. You should have stayed alive Stefan! Only accounts can kill you, not them. You heard my words, didn't you? Just me!"

Saying that cruel to Stefan's body in fact even hurt Luna herself. He fell down in tears with his forehead leaning against the edge of the man's coffin.

"Sorry Madam, we have to close it immediately" said a man who surprised Luna.

"Bec-yes ... Alright." Luna wiped away the trace of tears on her cheeks. The woman got up from the chair that had propped her up earlier.

Once more. Before Luna stepped out of the place, she saw the face of the man who saved her.

"Hopefully be happy there Stefan. One day I will tell Elea how great your sacrifice is" Luna said in her heart.

The woman finally walked away. Meet the father who had gathered with the others. Then the woman approached her little daughter. Bend in front of the child and embrace him.

"El ... Don't be naughty, honey."

"Mom why don't you come" asked Elea confusedly.

All of his family members are in but his mother and uncle Stefan, who have not been seen since a few days ago.

"There must be someone standing guard here, honey. If everyone comes along, who's gonna take care of Grandpa's house and El's?"

As much as possible Luna explained with language and reasons that are easily understood by children.

"Emc ... Is Uncle Stefan with Mama? El had not seen him for a long time. He's not coming to America today either." Elea looked in search of the man.

Luna raised her face. His eyes stared at everyone who was waiting for the little girl to say goodbye to him.

"Yes ..m...." Luna was confused to explain. "They've been waiting, El should be quick. Be careful, dear." Luna hurriedly shifted the discussion.

The woman jerked her little daughter faster next to Ellard.
