LOVE FOR ALUNA
Past times

"Hey, Aluna." Arga shook the woman's body. Wonder what happened to him. "Calm down, it's me. Aluna look. Hey, you're okay. Quiet." Calm."

Slowly, Aluna breathed when she heard Arga's voice. Her tears dripped, her blurry gaze replaced by looking at the figure who was staring at her filled with a sense of wonder. 

"Can you see me?" Arga is still trying to calm Aluna down. "Pull a deep breath okay?"

Closed his eyes for a moment before finally nodding. "I don't papa" he said, trying to stand up, helped by Arga. 

The man caught up with Aluna when he felt that his wife was taking too long. "Why can I believe this?"

"Sir papa. Come on, El may be waiting for us." Aluna left the man first. Making Arga frown and look at the waiter who had been there. Ask about what happened. 

But it was not a satisfactory answer given by the servant because he also did not know what. When he returned to the table where the child was, Aluna was seen helping Elmira to eat slowly. "Don't eat it. Take care."

Elmira held her chest and stopped chewing. 

"Why?" Aluna panicked. 

"sickness. Go home."

Staring at Arga for approval. Without saying anything more, Arga carried the child and then carried him out of there with Aluna following from behind. 

No longer sitting in the back seat, Elmira along with Aluna in the front seat. With the position of the child who does not want to release his embrace from Aluna. "No swipe?"

"No, it hurts."

"To the hospital?" Ask Arga who is panicking. 

"No papa. If I think it's ordinary. The doctor was clear." Before Arga speculated anything strange, Aluna immediately said, "Soalya Elmira does not really like the smell of the hospital. Mending was invited to rest at home."

"Oh okay." Look at the worried child. His hands stretched out rubbing the mane. "When you feel what, say to Papa yes. If the pain cannot be stopped, you must go to the hospital. Let Elmira get well."

"Now it doesn't hurt too much, Pah. Just want Bobo."

What the child's wishes are. Honestly Arga was a bit panicked with the condition of his son. He wasn't ready to get something so bad. Moreover, this is only the first step Arga knows the child. The bond between them is tightly intertwined. There was no doubt at all when his parents said that this child was his flesh and blood. 

Arga, who was holding Elmira to her room, helped her open her shoes and lay her on the bed. Arga thought, the boy will whine because of his pain. But he chuckles instead. 

"Kok laughing? Why?" Ask Arga curiously. 

"Like to have Mom and Dad here." Saying that way. "El dear Mama, dear Papa too. Papa don't go again."

"No, Papa won't go again."

"Said Eyang, Papa left because Papa went to school. Not school now, right?"

"No. Now Papa's working for El. So where's not going."

His hand gripped the smaller hand and kissed her repeatedly. It's like saying that Arga won't leave her again. 

Wait until Elmira sleeps there. Then Arga said, "Mother and Father are trying to find a suitable heart donor for Elmira. It's not clear when they got it. Until then comes. Please take good care of Elmira."

"I won't leave Elmira again, won't let her be in pain again." So he said while continuing to kiss the child's hand. 

For Aluna, it was enough for her to see Elmira getting protection from Arga.

Aluna was silent for a moment in the bathroom. He was still shocked by the memory of the miserable memories that approached him. He took off his clothes to clean himself. Making sure that his body was only his, no one else could touch him anymore. 

When Aluna had not worn anything, she stared at her reflection in the mirror. He looked pitiful with some scars on his body. Moreover, his back, a lot of disgusting marks there. 

"Grandfather, no one can do bad things to you anymore." As soon as Aluna spoke to herself. 

The events he passed in the past became the reason for Aluna to build a fortress between herself and Arga. When he saw the man holding a laptop on the mattress, Aluna became a wasp. Worried that the man was doing something bad to her.

"Why just stand? Sleeps. Tomorrow he said Elmira's uniform was coming. We're going to the hospital tomorrow for a routine check-up." Speak without taking your eyes off his laptop

"I don't want to sleep next to you."

"Stop the drama, Aluna. I wouldn't do anything weird with you. I'm not interested in you."

"You weren't interested in me before, why do you do that?"

Arga stopped typing something on the keyboard and glanced at Aluna. "Do not share the past. The most important thing is that I'm responsible, right?"

"You haven't apologized to me yet." Aluna still expected that phrase from Arga. But instead of apologizing, the man kept his laptop on the nightstand and got out of bed. The man stepped towards the door and locked it from the dakam

"Well what do you want?"

"Let you rest. Stop starting fights. If we sleep apart, then Mommy will be suspicious and I will not be able to advance business because of their trust that goes down." Arga stepped into the bathroom casually. "Sleep. You're not my type. Please remember."

Leaving Aluna who clucked in annoyance at it. The woman exhaled a rough breath and climbed into the bed. Even he lay at the end with bolsters lined up in the middle because Arga did not want to touch him. 

Long also Arga in the bathroom, Aluna had wanted to stay awake and make sure the man did not touch her at all. But drowsiness mastered, which in the end made Aluna closed her eyes slowly and went into the dream realm. 

Arga just cleaned the body out. And found Aluna who had fallen asleep.

He approached the woman and looked at her for a long time. When her hand was outstretched about to wipe Aluna's hair, her phone shook. Arga immediately picked it up and looked at who was contacting him.

That's a foreign number. 

"Hallo?" Arga. 

"Arga, it's me Teresa."

Which made Arga pause for a moment.
