La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 70

"Home ... Uncle Stefan went to heaven?" ask Christina.

The little girl ran to get a sprig of esther flowers that grew in the garden behind William's house. Then came back to Christina, and stuck it on the mound that was still wet.

This morning after waking up and cleaning up, Christina took the time to look at Stefan's grave. Even the middle-aged woman did not heed her husband's invitation to breakfast.

He just wants to see Stefan, who hasn't been in there for 24 hours.

And Elea, the little girl followed him to the front of Stefan's headstone.

"Yes, Honey. Pray Uncle Stefan is happy there." Christina's shady gaze fell on this little girl next to her.

Christina's hand stroked the ground that was still wet and filled with those white roses. Then also rub a headstone that reads the name of the beloved son.

"Uncle Stefan was very kind to Elea. Will Uncle Stefan remember Elea even if she's far away?"

The question was directed at Christina, but Elea looked up at the sky instead. As if he could find Stefan there.

Christina took Elea in her lap. Then he hugged the little girl and cried. The middle-aged woman remembers Stefan's childhood.

"He will remember you, baby. He'll remember us all. If Uncle Stefan doesn't remember, we'll remind him."

Christina hugged Elea's body back. The little girl's question was like a pain in her chest.

What if Stefan doesn't remember? While they have memories that will not be erased until anytime.

If only God had given Christina a chance to choose. He would have chosen Stefan amnesia and probably didn't know him more than to have to be left behind forever like this.

"Home ... Don't be sad." Elea's hands stretched out to wipe away Christina's tears.

The little girl took the oma's hair child who flew to close her eyes to her face. Then painstakingly tuck it behind the ear.

"Said grandfather, everything in heaven must be happy. Uncle Stefan must be happy, too. Elea's hand was hanging around Christina's neck.

"Yes, honey."

Christina kissed Elea's arm, then re-hugged the little girl and burst into tears.

Elea, who did not understand much about someone who died, tried to calm the oma by patting her fragile back.

Far away there, William was watching the two of them together. Accompanied by the sudden rain spatter, after the clear sky turned cloudy quickly.

Christina didn't want to go from there, neither did Elea. William did not want to disturb either.

"Sister."

A hand landed right on William's shoulder, to the surprise of the man.

"I'm sorry."

Ellard said very softly. He was the one who regretted this loss the most. Moreover, he was at the scene of the incident and could not prevent it.

"I can't believe the brat left so soon" William said.

The man's eyes looked red, but William did not cry at all. "It's impossible, El. I can't believe it's him!"

William smashed against the wall next to him with his fist.

"Sister, patience. I didn't believe it either until Aglen brought the news himself." Ellard confirmed what the brother said.

William is indeed disappointed with Ellard who cannot take care of his own family until this happens. But behind all that, he was disappointed in himself for the events that happened to the two of them before.

He has been a selfish father all along. He made Stefan follow his wishes. And William did not heed his son's personal wishes at all.

"Is Stefan close to someone in Canada?" ask William to look.

The middle-aged man did not communicate with his son at all. It happened since the events of their debate about the matchmaking that Stefan did not approve of. Even he who usually finds out about the child even though their relationship becomes cold, it is not also done.

"I never saw him. He also said nothing. Even your dispute I just found out because Christina called me to ask her how she was doing."

Ellard took William to a seat. Give him a glass of drink to dampen his emotions.

"Lately, he's been busy helping me and Luna is also looking after Elea."

Ellard remembered the kindness of his nephew. Even just Stefan being reliable everywhere was difficult for Luna.

"Come back to Canada. Poor Luna's there. Let Christina take care of me. He'll be even more depressed if you're still here." It was like a satire for his sister.

"You kicked me out?" Ellard frowned wryly.

"Whatever you say. You know for yourself how Christina. The more people Stefan has in contact with here, the longer the memories he'll remember. We love Stefan so much, no matter what. I'm just disappointed in myself, El."

William lowered. He was sad, but William was always good at covering it.

"All right, tomorrow we'll be back. Aglen's here to help you. He can count on you."

"Hmmm ....." William answered accordingly.

Ellard patted his brother on the back and punched him in the sleeve in a long shirt.

"Excite!"

William only commented on his cold smile.

Luna took a slow breath. His clasp clutched a light blue handkerchief belonging to Stefan.

That thing Stefan gave me before. When he needed strength and a dull object left in his bag and never washed it actually saved him from anxiety now.

Luna put the square cloth back in her bag. At the moment, he is ready to face trial.

Once in a room, the atmosphere suddenly cold.the gaze of some news seekers he passed when entering a little intimidate him. But not break his spirit.

Luna waited anxiously. He faced his first trial without being accompanied by his loved ones. There was no father, no husband and no Stefan.

Time is like slow walking. Seconds by second was very felt for Luna. It felt like he disappeared from that place to another place unknown to anyone. But that's not possible. He had to face it, so that everything would be finished quickly.

That time has finally arrived. Luna was called to her first trial. He was in court for 3 hours. All the witnesses and evidence presented and from Angeline's side continued to fight with unreasonable opinions and alibis.

They also present false witnesses who counteract all of Luna's statements. But all can be broken because Luna does have strong evidence.

The footage of someone involved in the theft of the diamond necklace.where he held an important position in Luna's company has not been released by Andrew.

The man who is a friend of Stefan is still abducting an accomplice Angeline who was deliberately put into the company Luna to mess up.

He must eradicate to his roots. So that they rethink if they want to defect from Luna again. And it certainly brings valuable lessons to the unfaithful and can be bought with money.

That was Stefan's last message to Andrew. And the man who works as a lawyer will make it happen.

Today, the trial is not over. It will be re-enacted in a few days because Angeline's side really did everything in front of the judge.

Especially about the kidnapping. Angeline vehemently denied it. The evidence Stefan provided was not very clear. But for those closest to Angeline, it is certain to recognize the voice recording provided by Andrew even though he did not see the person.

Unfortunately, none of the Peterson family was present. Even though they themselves are asking for the trial to be opened to the public. They only sent a representative of one person to record the trial until the end.

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

Luna was stuck alone in a restaurant that looked empty.

The woman deliberately chose a hidden seat because she wanted to enjoy her solitude.

He tried to calm himself from the bustle of many people. His first trial that was still postponed again left disappointment in his heart.

He thought all the evidence was complete, but the reality was protracted.

All the same
