LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
HER WHO?

Carnations drive their vehicles faster than ever before. Not without reason he did that, considering there was a dying Zion in his car, where maybe he was driving casually.

Carnations also chose to take Zion to the villa instead of to the hospital, as she still remembered how Zion looked at her angrily as she invited Zion to go to the hospital. After all, near the villa he knew one of the doctors who was Arjuna's old friend, it was easier to contact the doctor than to have to take Zion to the hospital.

After traveling an hour and a half, at last Anyelir arrived at the villa, he honked many times, hoping that someone would come out of the villa and help him finish off Zion who was still unconscious.

Not long after, Arjuna came out of the villa and approached the Carnation parked in the front yard.

"Anyelir," murmured Arjuna.

Carnations open the car door, and immediately switch to the left car door. "Mas, please help," said Anyelir.

Arjuna looked confused, but he did not ask further and chose to follow the Carnations.

As Carnation opened the left car door he saw Zion drooping with a face full of wounds.

"Gosh, Nye, did you hit him?" arjuna's comments were spontaneous.

Carnation shakes. "No, Mas, I met him on the street like this. I was going to take her to the hospital, but she didn't want to. When I left, he fainted."

Arjuna holds Zion into the villa followed by a worried-looking Carnation. Luna who was busy playing the piano in the main room even though she actually could not, was so surprised when she saw Zion. He immediately stood up and approached Arjuna.

"Zions. Oh, my God, what's going on?" ask Luna.

"Call the doctor, Nye," said Arjuna, then continued to step into the guest room followed by Luna.

After Arjuna laid Zion on the bed, Luna immediately touched Zion's face filled with blood that began to dry up. Then deftly he grabbed the scissors in the desk drawer and cut out the white t-shirt that Zion was wearing.

"What are you doing?" ask Arjuna.

"I have to check, wherever this blood on his clothes comes from. If there's a stab wound or ...." Luna hung her words in the air, as she saw a stab wound on the lower abdomen, and a scratch on Zion's chest. "Yes, God."

Luna immediately ran out of the room, and moments later she returned with a box of P3K. Deftly Luna cleaned the wound on Zion's body so that the wound was not infected. Luna also brought warm water which she used to cleanse Zion's face of the dried blood. Luna did it while crying, and her lips were tightly locked. Not a word came out of her lips, even as Carnations entered the room and asked Luna if Zion had any enemies that might injure Zion, Luna did not reply.

After a while, the doctor arrived and immediately examined Zion's condition and stitched her wound.

"He'll be fine. Fortunately the wound was not deep so he did not bleed much" said doctor Tirta, who had since looked at Arjuna with a look of pity, because Luna paid such great attention to the patient she had just dealt with.

"Thank you" Luna told Tirta.

"No problem, Luna. Is he your friend?" tanya Tirta, who was curious.

Luna nodded. "He's everything to me."

"Oh." Tirta looked back at Arjuna who now looked sullen, as if he did not like the presence of Zion and Luna's statement.

"I'm out first." Arjuna came out of the room.

"Call me if he's conscious. I'll be outside with Juna." said Tirta, then followed Arjuna.

***

Arjuna grabbed a bottle of cold soda from the refrigerator, grabbed another bottle and threw it at Tirta when he saw Tirta walking up to him.

"I don't drink soda." Tirta waved the soda she had just caught.

Arjuna opened the refrigerator and took out a few cans of alcoholic beverages. "What is this then?"

Tirta laughs. "Not really. Just give me some mineral water."

Arjuna shrugged both shoulders, then grabbed a bottle of mineral water and handed it to Tirta.

"Thank you, young master."

Arjuna laughed, then headed for the villa's backyard, followed by Tirta.

"He's your wife's lover?" ask Tirta. "I mean, your second wife?"

Arjuna nodded.

"Your life is so soapy, Juna. When I first heard it from Carnation, I could not believe that you were remarried, and could not believe it any more when I found out that it was Carnation who asked you to marry secretly. Crazy, really crazy," said Tirta.

Arjuna opened the bottle and drank it. "Anyelir hasn't told me everything yet. Did you know that Luna and I were only married until the woman gave birth to a child for us. In other words, Luna is only a temporary wife to me. Someday we'll be apart."

both of Tirta's eyes were perfectly rounded. "Seriously?"

"Yes, I'm serious. After Luna gives birth, we'll get divorced. If not, how could Anyelir ask me to marry again. Carnations only take advantage of the woman's kindness."

"It's amazing, it's drama once." Tirta shook her head. "But you don't seem to think of Luna as your temporary wife, do you? I saw the jealousy in your eyes as Luna paid her full attention to the man inside earlier."

Arjuna rubbed his face. "Come, Tir, I don't understand how I feel. You know that I love Carnations so much, even when knowing the condition of Carnations it never occurred to me to marry again just for the sake of getting offspring. But, ever since Luna was present in my life, I felt different. I feel more alive and .. I don't know, I can't explain everything."

"You fell in love with him. That's for sure." Tirta commented.

Arjuna laughs. "Cannot be. How could I fall in love that easily. Maybe I just feel sorry for her because she's willing to sacrifice herself for Anye's sake."

Tirta. "No. Your feelings for Luna are not that simple. We've been friends for a long time, and I know when you're in love. You love Luna, while Carnation .. I don't think you've forgotten why you married that woman first."

Arjuna sighed, looking up at the dark night sky without the stars present.

Tirta patted Arjuna on the shoulder. "Go ahead, let's hope everything goes your way."

***

Luna fell asleep beside Zion while hugging the man's waist. The door that was left open made Arjuna who had been pacing in front of the guest room can clearly see Luna's treatment of Zion, including the annoying embrace.

"Not tired, Mom?" asked Carnation, who was standing not far from the guest room.

Arjuna surprised. "When were you there?" ask Arjuna.

"Since. Ever since you paced in front of that room. Why, anyway?" Carnations look upset.

Meanwhile in the room Zion's body began to move. Zion is beginning to regain consciousness. He slowly opened his eyes and grimaced as soon as he felt pain in his abdomen and chest.

"Luna," Zion muttered, as she saw Luna falling asleep while hugging her.

Luna slowly opened her eyes and looked up when she heard Zion's voice in her ears.

"Zions. You realize! Thank goodness!" Luna looks so happy.

"Where am I?" ask Zion, confused.

"You're at Bu Anye's villa. You came in a fainting state. I was really worried, I thought you would .. How could there be a stab wound on your body? is this all Miss?"

Zion was silent for a moment, she then tried to sit down and immediately pulled Luna closer. "I'm okay, don't worry. But there's bad news, Lun. Miss no longer believes in me. I'm still alive because of Boy who was assigned to chase me, he accidentally stabbed me in the harmless part. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't know what would happen to me anymore."

Luna hugged Zion. "I'm sorry, please forgive me. It's all because of me."

Zion rubbed Luna's back, and at that moment she saw some red marks on Luna's neck.

Zion releases her embrace from Luna's body, for some reason she feels hurt to see the mark on her best friend's neck.

"Come out, Lun, I want to take a little break" Zion asked.

"Do you want to eat something or drink something?"

"I'll ask when I want to. Just get out of here, okay!" Zion immediately lay down and turned her back on Luna, making Luna confused, because of Zion's sudden change in attitude.

"Good break, Zion," said Luna, then she walked out of the room and closed the door.

Luna decided to return to her room, as she felt very tired now. However, Anyelir who was standing in the middle room immediately called out to Luna as soon as he saw Luna pass by.

"Luna."

Luna turned her head and immediately approached Carnation."Yes, ma'am," said Luna, upon arrival in front of Carnation.

"I hear you're sick, is that true?" ask Carnation fiercely. Actually he did not want to be so rude to Luna, but the obvious red mark on the woman's neck made her annoyed and jealous.

"Ah, yes, I've been bad since morning. But take it easy, ma'am, I'm not as sick as I look."

Carnations smiled cynically. "Yes, you don't look sick at all. Just look at your neck. There's no way a sick person can have se_x until it's all red." The carnation then left Luna.

Luna herself immediately put her palms together to cover her neck, then Luna ran to the room and approached the dresser to look at her neck.

"Geez, why didn't Mr. Juna say that my neck was like this!" Luna complained, then the woman started to dip her head on the dresser. He understood now why Zion had suddenly become hostile towards him. Must be because of the red marks scattered around his neck.

Geck, tok, tok!

The sound of knocking at the door distracts Luna. He stood up and grabbed a blanket to cover his neck.

"Come in" he said, as his neck was perfectly closed.

"Time to drink milk!" Arjuna smiled as he entered the room while carrying a tray containing a glass of milk and several pieces of chocolate cake.

Seeing Luna stay silent and looking at her with a pouting face made Arjuna confused. The man placed the tray on the table and immediately approached Luna. "What's wrong? Did I upset you?"

Luna immediately took off the blanket from her neck and threw the blanket over Arjuna's face.

"Hi, hi, hi, say what's up?x Arjuna asked again.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Luna pointed at his neck.

Arjuna smiled. Instead of feeling guilty, the man touched Luna's neck. "Beautiful right?"

"Beautiful what? Zion is mad at me for this, Bu Anye is also angry at me for this. You should have told me. I rarely reflect so I don't know."

"Why are they angry?" asked Arjuna, with an expression that Luna thought was very annoying.

Luna glared at Arjuna. "Of course they're angry. They must be jealous."

Arjuna touched Luna's waist and pulled Luna's body closer to him. "Why are they jealous? You're my wife now, they should and you're aware of that position. When they see this red mark on your neck they should know that you are mine. Especially Zion, I don't like you getting too close to her, let alone having you come into contact with her. Do you think I'm not jealous? I'm jealous, so jealous!"

"But he-"

"Yes, I know she's your lover, but you're my wife now. Please remember this, Luna, at least don't come into contact with it until our status changes." Arjuna released his embrace at Luna's waist and immediately came out from inside the room. Leaving behind Luna who was shocked because of Arjuna's confession.

***

The night passed again with a sign of the rising of the sun that began to divide its warmth.

Luna woke up because sunlight entered through a window slit that was not tightly closed. He squirmed, then got up to sit down. His two eyes immediately circulated, looking for the whereabouts of Arjuna who was usually always beside him when the man was staying at the villa. However, after a while he realized that Arjuna was not in his room, if there was a man he would have slept beside him and hugged him as usual

Luna got out of bed and immediately stepped into the bathroom to wash her face, but in the bathroom oa mendaoagi bathtub has filled with water habgat and there is a pink card on the edge of the bathtub that says,

Take a shower, I've prepared warm water for you. After the shower, let's go to the doctor. We should also tell Carnations about your pregnancy.

Luna smiled reflexively read the card. He immediately took off all his clothes and went into the bathtub.

After bathing, Luna immediately put on the most beautiful clothes in her closet, a pink dress along her knees that looks so sweet when she wears it. Then, Luna polished as thin as possible makeup on her face to make it look natural, and let her long hair just be unraveled.

After feeling that he had deserved to meet Arjuna, he immediately stepped out of the room to head to the main room.

The sound of calves in the main room was heard up to the door deoan of Luna's room. The curious Luna quickened her pace to find out what was happening.

"He who?"

A woman pointed at Luna as soon as Luna appeared in the main hall.

Seriate.
