LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
SLEEP WITH ME

Fresh blood flowed from Carnation's wrist as the woman recklessly sliced her wrist with a kitchen knife. He felt no pain at all. There was no pain he could feel right now, as the wounds in his heart were more and more painful than the physical injuries he was now suffering from.

Seeing so much blood dripping on the floor certainly made Luna and Arjuna surprised. Luna immediately approached Anyelir and pressed the wound on Carnation's hand with her own so that the blood would not continue to flow, arjuna immediately contacted the doctor and removed his tie and tied it to the injured Carnation's wrist.

"We have to take Ms. Anye to the hospital" said Luna, watching Arjuna whose face looked worried.

"I've called the doctor" replied Arjuna briefly.

"We can't wait any longer. I think the injury is very deep, he could lose his life if not treated immediately. We didn't know the doctor was coming." Luna urges. He disagrees with Arjuna's decision to wait for the doctor to arrive. "Come on, sir, why are you melting once." Luna snapped at Arjuna, when Arjuna did not respond to his words, making the man surprised instead of dumbfounded, because only this time there was someone who dared to snap at him.

"OK, okay. Let's get to the car." Arjuna stood up and immediately stepped out of the kitchen.

"Hi, sir, don't you have any brains!" Luna shouted back.

"What else now? Don't we have to go to the hospital?" Arjuna looks annoyed because Luna has been acting too bravely to him.

"I can't possibly carry Bu Anye, can I? You have to carry it!" namel Luna, while glaring at Arjuna. He did not think how a husband could act so cold to his wife, but his wife is dying now. Do not carry, nor do I hold.

Arjuna took a breath, before he finally approached Anyelir and carried the woman to his car parked in the front yard.

***

Dawn stepped aside, bringing up a reddish veil on the twilight sky that looked so beautiful.

Luna stood on the tenth floor balcony of the city's largest private hospital. He looked seriously at the sun that was slowly drowning itself gracefully. He didn't even care about his phone ringing, and Miss's name. The shutter repeatedly appeared on the flat object's screen. Luna only glanced at her phone at a glance without intending to receive the call.

The atmosphere in the hospital he now felt was so calm, that he did not want to spoil the calm by talking to a demon like Miss. Shutter.

Instead of taking a call from Miss. Rana who would have wanted to ask when he returned to the Red House and returned to work, Luna instead activated airplane mode on her phone and was busy photographing the sunset that spoiled the eyes.

While being engrossed in photographing sounds a person thumping behind him. Luna stopped her activities and turned her head to see who was coming, it turned out that Arjuna.

Luna immediately pocketed back her phone and bowed respectfully to Arjuna even though she was reluctant.

"How's Miss Anye doing?" ask Luna.

"He's fine, tomorrow he can go home" Arjuna said.

"Thank God." Luna stroked her chest and she really looked relieved.

Seeing the sincerity on Luna's face makes Arjuna curious about his wife's friendship with Luna, because during his marriage with Carnation he had never seen Luna at all.

"Have you been friends for a long time?" ask Arjuna.

Arjuna raised his eyebrows. "It's only been two months, but she already trusts you so much to sleep with me? As if you wouldn't take me from her."

Luna's face turned red hearing Arjuna's words. The man standing before him was indeed handsome, it could even be said to be very charming with both eyes so cute, nose pointed, and thin sideburns adorning his face, so talking to Arjuna when his mood was normal made his chest suddenly just beat at an abnormal speed. However, Luna quickly brushed off the strange feeling and threw her face away, looking back at the sky that now looked increasingly dark.

For Luna, no matter how handsome Arjuna Evan is, he is still not the ideal husband. Thus, ignoring the handsome face of the man was something that was obligatory.

"Your name is Luna, right?" asked Arjuna again, when he saw Luna was silent.

Luna nodded, still not looking at Arjuna, and continued to stare at the sky.

"I want to ask you, Luna, what do you think we should do now? Carnations insisted that you and I sleep together and print a child for her. Do you agree?" asked Arjuna, folding his hands in front of his chest.

Luna felt like her heart was being hit by a hundred drummers at once. His heart is beating fast. He took a few breaths before deciding to look at Arjuna and answer the man's question. "Honestly, sir, I don't really want to interfere and I shouldn't be involved in your domestic affairs. If you ask me, what should we do, then I think all you have to do is tell your mother that you don't want to marry again. That way the psychic state of Bu Anye will not be disturbed. He would not act recklessly because he felt depressed. That's all you need to do as a man and as a husband."

Arjuna stroked his lamb. "Yes, right, it looks that simple indeed. But my mother wouldn't understand. He wanted a grandchild, and it was an absolute inviolable thing. I'm the only son and my extended family needs an heir."

Luna snorted in annoyance. "You're more defensive of your mother than your wife, sir."

"It's not. I understood what Anye was feeling, and I also understood what my mother was feeling. I was tormented thinking of the two of them. I didn't know what path I should take. I can't possibly be separated from Carnation, but I can't possibly ignore my mother's and the extended family's wishes either." Arjuna looked sad, his eyes dewy and it made Luna feel sorry for the man.

"That means you're going to stay married?" luna asked, after a while she let Arjuna drown in silence.

Arjuna shook his head, then rubbed his face violently. "No."

"Then?"

"I don't know."

Luna was silent, she looked back at the sky which was now completely dark.

"Sorry, Miss Luna and Mr. Arjuna, Anye's mother wants to see you both." A nun appears right behind Arjuna and Luna to deliver a message from Carnation.

Luna nodded and thanked the nun who delivered the message . After the sister passed from before her, Luna immediately turned to her back and stepped towards the Carnation's room. However, his steps came to a halt as Arjuna suddenly caught up and pulled his wrist.

"Wait, Luna. There's something I want to tell you," said Arjuna.

"What is that, sir? Just say it."

"Let's do it. Let's do what the Carnations want. Sleep with me."

Seriate.
