La Luna (Bias Asa)
Chapter 73

"That's been a long time?"

"A few months ago, ma'am," replied Aunt Jen.

The middle-aged woman extended her hand, cupping the back of Luna's cold hand. And maybe as cold as his heart is now. Then Jen's aunt squeezed it, gave it strength.

"What did he mean first? Means now...." Luna couldn't continue. Her tongue seemed frozen hearing another fact about her husband.

All this time, the love between them just goes. Luna did not feel infatuated with the man, but Luna did love and cherish him because of her sincerity in accepting Luna for who she was.

And for Adam, of course he could not guess. Adam was always kind and loving to her or Elea. The man behaved flawlessly except for his almost non-existent time for the holidays of the three of them, as at the beginning of their marriage.

Luna glazed. What he thought first turned out to be a harsh reality for him.

There will be no man who loves sincerely to Luna who is not whole. Because they will only love what is added value to him. One of them is treasure and throne.

"It's better for the madam to investigate first. I'm afraid I'm wrong." Aunt Jen certainly did not want to cloud Luna's mood. But he could not let the matter drag on. Because if this is true, the master is the one who is very disadvantaged here.

Another fact when the employer is facing this heavy problem, there does not appear to be a husband beside him.

"Sorry Madam, there's one more thing I haven't said."

Aunt Jen took out a velvet box from inside her shirt pocket.

"That afternoon, Mr. Stefan was in a hurry to leave. He left this to me. He just said, if he doesn't come back, it's me who has to give it to the Madam."

The middle-aged woman shifted the thing in her hand in front of Luna.

"What else did he say?" Luna's eyes suddenly wet. It still hurts to remember the explosion that killed Stefan in it.

"The lady should always be happy." Aunt jen hurriedly got up from her seat. The father's maid asked permission to return home just by nodding. Apparently, aunt Jen also could not hold back her tears.

After the death of the woman of Ofelia's aunt, Luna sculpted. He just stared at the dark blue velvet box in front of him.

Over and over again Luna tries to digest Stefan's message that she left to Jen's aunt for him. Could it be that Stefan already felt that he would not survive?

Luna's outstretched hand grabbed the velvet box, then opened it.

A beautiful and simple necklace. It is decorated with the letters L and E, which are the initials of its name.

The slender fingers removed the necklace from the hook that tied it inside the box. And accidentally, Luna dropped something.

A small paper rolled lengthwise. Jemari Luna trembled as she opened it. The author no longer exists in this world.

"I'll wait for you, until any moment." That's what it says there. At the end of the sentence is a smiling emoticon.

Luna rolled back the paper, then kept Srltefan's necklace back in place.

"What are you doing Stefan?" muttered Luna lirih.

The woman lowered her head in silence by sticking her forehead on the edge of the table.

Adam follows the woman who saved him. Circled around the city until finally stopping at a five-star hotel in the city.

"What are we here for?" ask Adam who is curious.

There was no interaction between the woman and him. He only obeyed when told to follow.

"Later you'll know too" the woman replied briefly.

This time, Adam knew the voice. But the figure in front of him was very different. And strangely, the voice he heard now was very different from the one he heard at the police station.

Adam finally decided to shut up. Because it seems like the person who saved him didn't like to talk much.

The woman stopped in front of a hotel room. The bodyguard who ran ahead quickly opened the door so that the woman who walked in front of Adam came straight in. As for Adam, he entered after being invited by the female bodyguard.

Adam slowed down his pace, as the person he was following completely stopped. But the mysterious woman remained in a position to back him.

"You still don't know who I am?" said the woman, turning her body.

He removed his face cover, and still Adam did not recognize him even though his voice was not at all foreign to him.

"Have we met before?" asked Adam curiously.

"Ck ... Adam?" from her voice, the woman sounded impatient and annoyed.

And the events that followed, made the blond man growled.

The woman standing in front of him moved her fingers. Tracing the chin to the edge of his face. Then his fingers were like pulling something stuck to his face. Like a mask. The color is very similar to the skin.

After the mask came off, the woman grinned at Adam who was still staring in disbelief.

"Crazy! Pauline, is that really you?" The man still could not believe what was happening in front of him. He had heard of the use of masks like this for film purposes. And didn't expect it to be a brilliant idea to go undercover.

"Even you don't recognize me. Means my cover is working." Pauline smiled proudly to herself and handed the mask to her bodyguards.

"Then, how did that at the police station get your voice changed?" Adam was still curious about this. He was still standing in his place with no intention of approaching at all.

"There it is," pointed it at a necklace attached to his neck.

Apparently there is a special tool attached behind the pendant. It's the device that can change Pauline's voice so that it's different from the original. "New technologies. I was the first to try it" he said proudly.

"Good thing you came at the right time. Otherwise, I don't know who's gonna help me."

Adam pulled it out slowly. He was amazed at what Pauline had in disguise, but he didn't really care. The man walked up to Pauline and sat next to her.

"You, I need a lot of money" Adam complained.

"For what? Isn't the money you've collected a lot?"

"long story. My mom's in the ICU. And my brother took the company's money, my business was ruined."

Adam was like a man out of spirit. He limp in thinking about the problem.

"Aren't there your guardian angels, Luna," Pauline said. Yes, Adam always praised the good Luna and helped her.

"He has his own problems. I've already asked him to the company, but since the funds are big enough, I have to contact Luna myself."

Adam got up from his seat. The man looked out the window and crossed his chest.

"I'm tired of always begging. I love him, but our relationship feels bland" Adam admits his long-standing feelings are no longer the same for his wife.

Behind Adam, Pauline grinned. The woman knew that Adam's family lost far when talking about property. And what the man said, he said he was tired of begging. If you ask for help, you should definitely ask carefully.

Though in the heart, Pauline also cursed men who have the nature of Adam.

"You've got a lot of reasons, Dam. Just tell me you're bored. The abduction we planned failed everything. And I'm very, very much in loss. I've spent a lot of money, but what's the result?" Pauline was angry but somehow aimed at whom.

"Just blame your stupid accomplice. Isn't all this because of him."

Adam is upset that their original plan was to kidnap Elea to threaten Luna into giving in and going to jail on her case.

But everything is destroyed because of Angeline's carelessness. They eventually kidnap Luna. And just the same, there was no meaningful result.in fact almost half of Lu Xi's gang died.

"Stupid! He's my brother. He's blinded by an obsession over being rejected by Stefan. He's rich but easy to use."

"So you both rejected Stefan?" Adam smiled mockingly.

It turns out that the two women who invited him to cooperate were the victims of the rejection of his wife's cousin.

"Enough! I've forgotten about it. Why expect a man like him. I hated your wife a long time ago, because she always got the attention of the people I wanted to get to" Pauline explained loudly.

"Yes, Luna was always lucky. Although he was unlucky with his own love, "sorry Adam.

He who used to admire and love Luna. Now it seems like the taste is starting to fade. Although he was still afraid to admit it in front of his wife.

"Who's Elea's father, Dam?"

"I never know and I don't want to know. I was being nice to her just because of Luna. I can't even love her even though I've been pretending for years."

"You're crazy, Dam! Even you can still live it well all this time." Pauline was not surprised by the man's confession. But if Pauline had become Adam, she would have been gone from Luna a long time ago.

"Luna's only bad luck is having Elea who knows who her father is."

And it turns out that's what makes their relationship bland. Because Luna always presents Elea, even in every important moment they.

"What's your plan?"

"I don't know. Can't you help me just this once, Pau?" Adam's look was hopeful. He could no longer rely on Luna. I don't know, the hunch says Luna already knows what she's doing to the company.

"I don't have that much. You should have called Angeline. Money is not difficult for him" Pauline advised the man in front of her.

The sound of the phone shaking shocked the two of them. Adam's cell phone, to be precise. Because the man put it on the table when he came.

This man took it, and he was shocked when he saw the name of the wife emblazoned there.

"Yes, honey." The man was still friendly when he answered Luna's phone. Without him knowing Pauline's mocking reaction behind her.

"Is mom really sick?" ask Luna across.

Luna did not want to mince words.The departure of Adam for no reasonable reason already made her angry. Moreover, hearing the reality of the report of the financial director at the company.

The woman had never asked much during this time. Especially for the benefit of the husband's family. And Adam began to justify his own premonition.

"Yes, Mama's in the ICU at one of the hospitals here" Adam replied coldly, not at all as well.

"Let the Canadian hospital take my mom home. Just taken care of here," said Luna gave a decision.

"Emc ... I can't, Lun. There's still unfinished business here."

Adam bit his lower lip. He can't say if he's after Kylie here. If he comes back, it means he has to be ready to face Luna.

"Go home. We'll finish everything here. You're the director, Dam. Where's your sense of responsibility? I had to repeatedly get permission from my own company to take care of this and the trial. And you're going for some obscure business instead" Luna's voice raspy. But he did not cry, the woman was just disappointed.

"After my business is done, I will definitely go home. I'll send Mama, Lun. I'll send you the hospital address here. Thanks for still caring."

Adam broke off their conversation on the phone unilaterally. He did not know to talk especially with Luna, because from her tone everything was revealed.

"You're that scared of Luna?"

Adam heard Pauline's voice.

"No. I'm just afraid of losing her." Adam scooped his face, then downed the drink Pauline had prepared for him.

"You're sick, Dam. For a moment you say your relationship is bland, a minute later you say you're afraid of losing that woman."

Pauline was inexhaustible with this man nearby.

"Angeline can be trusted, right?He's not gonna expose our involvement?"

Adam looks very hopeful answer yes from Pauline.

"Once agreement. But I don't know what the girl's mind is" whispered Pauline.

"What do you mean?"
