LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
LOVE AND AFFECTION

Zion decided to return to the city after noon. Although he still misses Luna a lot and wants to spend more time with Luna, but he tries to hold back.

Luna escorted Zion to her doorstep. When he first saw Zion's arrival, he was determined to have to return to the city with Zion today, but he did not, because her responsibility to Carnation was the top priority she had to complete before the woman became even more sad and disappointed.

"Be careful. I will miss you so much." Luna hugged Zion, as the two had arrived at the terrace.

Zion hugged Luna back. "Don't turn on your phone too often, or if you need to change a new number. Don't let Miss reach you." Zion advises.

Luna nodded. "Yes, I'll change the new number if I have time, and I'll let you know right away."

"Should. Must tell me right away." Zion stroked the top of Luna's head and kissed the woman's forehead. "All right, I'll go first. See you, Lun."

"Byeah!" Luna waved her hand. Staring at the back of Zion who was moving away made his heart become sad and anxious. He was afraid that he would not be able to see the figure again.

Luna sighed, then turned around to go back into the room. However, he actually hit Arjuna who had been standing behind him without a sound.

"Aah!" Luna grimaced, rubbing her forehead. "What are you doing, sir?" ask Luna.

"I was watching a romantic scene between my wife and her boyfriend." Arjuna replied with a sour face.

Luna rolled her eyes lazily. "As far as you are." Luna took the road beside Arjuna, and stepped without caring for Arjuna anymore. However, his steps stopped as he remembered how some time ago Carnations cried with a feeling of disappointment before him.

Luna stepped back, until she arrived at her original place, in front of Arjuna. "Our relationship will not work if we continue to be hostile" Luna said suddenly.

Arjuna raised his eyebrows. "Are you not the first to raise the war flag!"

"Yes, it does, but it's because you don't want me to kiss. What's that bad of me, until you refuse to kiss me?"

Arjuna shrugged both shoulders. "It's not. It's just I don't want to kiss a zombie."

"Zombies. You mean, I'm like a Zombie?" Luna looked annoyed, for her life there was no one who said zombie. Only Arjuna is so outrageous to call himself a zombie.

Arjuna laughed, the laughter that these few days was able to make Luna's chest rumble when she heard that crisp laughter. "That's not what I mean. I feel and see you just do it. You just kissed me carelessly. You didn't enjoy it, Luna, you don't seem to want that kiss."

Luna swallowed the saliva, she did not expect that Arjuna would reveal such a thing. It was true what the man said that Luna just kissed him just like that. Luna positions Arjuna as her customer, and making love to Arjuna is a duty because of a job. So there was no emotion whatsoever that Luna felt as her lips began to stick on Arjuna's soft lips.

Luna set her breath, then said, "Isn't there no need to engage feelings between our relationships? What matters is that my job is done."

Arjuna. "For you it may be that simple, but it's not for me. I want, when we do, you enjoy it. I want the child you gave birth to is the fruit of love, or at least there is a bit of affection gushing from both parents during the creation process." Arjuna smiled as he blinked one eye.

Now it was Luna's turn to laugh. "Love and love!" Luna exhaled violently. "Sir, we're married only temporarily. Do you think I'd be ready to part with you if I loved you someday? Especially if I give birth to a child I love, and I love the father of that child. Do you think I'll hand the boy over and also you go back to Bu Anye?"

Arjuna was so disturbed by the words spoken from Luna's lips. Somehow he hoped that Luna would not give herself and their child back to Carnation.

Arjuna reached out, then touched Luna's face. "If that happens, will you stay by my side?"

Luna took a step back, avoiding Arjuna. "No. I will not let that happen. For that, let's live this relationship as a relationship between colleagues. Work with me, sir, so that this will all be over soon. I can't keep being on your side."

After saying that, Arjuna turned around to leave Luna who somehow felt so sore in the chest. Luna knew something was wrong inside her. Something was not growing in his chest.

"Damn it, I think I like it."

***

Carnations ran amok inside his room as soon as he arrived home. She was so hurt by what Arjuna said about her not being pregnant after five years of marriage.

"You think I want all this! You think I want to, Mom! Carnations shouted, slamming some perfume bottles on the dressing table until they broke into small pieces on the floor.

Geck, tok, tok.

The sound of knocking on the door made the Carnation stop what it was doing. He was afraid that if Kevin came, he did not want his son to see the chaos he was doing.

Carnations wiped her tears and quickly stepped into the door. "Yes." Yeah."

"Mistress, downstairs is Mr. Arjuna's mother."

It turned out that the one knocking was her house assistant.

Carnations sigh. "Tell him, I'll be down in a minute."

"Okay, Madam."

After steadying himself to meet with his in-laws, Carnations finally descended into the basement. And Carnation's heart was so broken that she saw with whom the in-laws had come. Sabrina, Arjuna's former lover.

"Ma," said Carnations.

Maria turned her head and looked at Carnations cynically.

"Mba, how are you?" Sabrina stood up and greeted Anyelir with a sweet smile that was indeed very alluring.

"good. Why do you come here every time my in-laws come here too, Rin?" ask Carnation with an unusual sharp tone.

"Hem, that's .. anu, Mba--"

"Mother, who asked. After all, Sabrina will be Arjuna's second wife."

"Mom, don't talk like that." Sabrina said, she felt bad for Carnations.

"Just be wild. Let this barren woman realize that sooner or later Arjuna must marry again. If you're waiting for a child from her womb, when will you be?!"

Carnations can't take it anymore. He could not stand theeus-continued to be denigrated simply because of his condition. "I'm pregnant, Mom! I'm pregnant and Mas Arjuna won't marry anyone, not even Sabrina!"

Seriate.
