LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
NOT MEET EACH OTHER

The relationship between Arjuna and Luna did not improve. Even after a month has passed.

Luna obeys Arjuna's order to live in an apartment that Arjuna bought for the woman, as he does not want to continue seeing Luna who will definitely make her anger reappear.

While Anyelir did not ask much why Arjuna put Luna in an apartment. He had only asked once, and the answer obtained from Arjuna was quite soothing, making Anyelir no longer comment.

"I just don't want us to live in one house with another woman. Even though she's my wife, she's just a surrogate woman on duty to carry my baby, not to live with me." That's what Arjuna said.

Arjuna even rarely visited Luna, only Anyelir who occasionally saw the state of Luna whose stomach was getting bigger, it was not too big, but Carnations were happy to see the development of the fetus in the womb Luna.

Like this afternoon, Luna was sitting in her room reading a book when she heard the bell at the door. Luna got up slowly and stepped towards the door to see who was coming.

"Taraaa, I brought you some fruits." Carnations smile a sigh.

Lately the carnations have looked different. He was happier and more joking than before. No one knows the cause of the changes that occur in Carnations other than the Carnations themselves and one more person. That person is Zion.

Yes, Zion and Carnation routinely meet every one week twice. Sometimes Zion determines the place, sometimes Carnations that determine which other hotels they will make a place to combine love.

Unexpectedly, the presence of Zion can give a new color in the life of Carnation, both his daily life to his life in bed.

For Carnations, Zion is very skilled and very manly. Never once did Carnations not feel satisfied when making love with Zion. Zion understood what the Carnations wanted, so it was difficult to spend a week without inviting Zion to her bed.

"You don't have to bother, ma'am," said Luna.

"Ah, this doesn't bother. Oh, yes, Lun, how about from now on you call me by name only. I feel so old when you call me by name, Mom. Do I look old?" ask Anyelir while blinking his eyes.

"No, Mom, you don't look old at all. We are not the same age" said Luna.

"Well, then call me Carnation. So I don't look old." Carnation smelled her sweet smile.

Luna laughs. "Well, from now on I'll call you Anye."

Carnations nod. "That's cool new."

Luna smiled, then received the fruit from Carnation's hand. "You've been looking happier lately. Is there any happy news?" ask Luna.

Carnations nodded, and at once the cheeks of Carnations turned as red as tomatoes. "I'm in the happiest phase of my life right now."

"Oh, huh? I'm so happy for you." Luna said solemnly.

"Thank you" said Carnival. "I hope someday you will also feel happiness as I feel."

Luna nodded, then Luna and Carnations ate the fruit that Carnations brought. In silence Luna wanted to ask Anyelir about Arjuna's news, because the man had never visited her since Arjuna knew that she was a prostitute. However, with great difficulty Luna did not ask that question. It is useless to ask the news of someone who does not love him and considers himself a disgusting dirt.

"Oh, yes, Lun, tomorrow I plan to enroll you to a pregnant mother's class," Anyelir said after a while.

"No, I'm healthy and don't need this class or that." Luna replied reluctantly. Luna is very lazy if she has to meet people. Since accidentally meeting with Bimo, Luna is more comfortable if confined to the room. He was afraid that he would meet someone who might have seen him in the Red House.

Carnations clucked. "It's not for you, it's for the baby. Pregnant women class is good for the health of mother and baby. Tomorrow I will also bring a cassette containing classical music suitable for pregnant women. You have to listen every night with earphones by putting them in your stomach."

"If I fall asleep how?" tanya Luna, who has been sleeping since her pregnancy stepped on the second trimester.

"Yes, don't fall asleep. Anyway, you have to listen to classical music regularly so that the baby is smart." Carnations warned Luna with bulging eyes.

Luna laughs. "Alright, alright. That means I have a lot of schedules starting tomorrow. Pregnant class, classical music, then what else?"

Carnation shakes. "For the meantime. Thank you to me, Lun, because I gave you a lot. Aren't you tired of keeping yourself locked up in your room?"

"Who said I locked myself up. I'm having fun, I even go for a walk every afternoon-"

"Ck, don't lie. I know you've never been anywhere. The waiter who works here told me everything that you're always in the room from morning to morning again. You only come out if it is raining and even raining on the balcony. You are so weird. What if you're sick?" Carnation nagging.

Luna was silent, she was busy chewing the fruit that tasted bland in her mouth. Since Arjuna was angry with him, there was no food that tasted good in his mouth, nor did any activity interest him other than the rain. Only when it rains can you cry. Her tears would not be visible to anyone as they were swept away by the raindrops.

"Alright, then I say goodbye, Lun. I'm here again tomorrow. See you soon." Carnations waved, then immediately exited from inside the apartment.

After living alone in the apartment, Luna's tears came back. It's always like that every day.

"I miss Arjuna" muttered Luna, then curled up on the sofa until she fell asleep.

"Hi, Juna!" The sound of someone shouting Arjuna's name makes Arjuna, Vishnu, and Rayan step stopped.

The three turned around and found Bimo walking towards them.

"You guys go up first. I'll catch up later." Arjuna ordered Vishnu dah Rayan, then decided on a phone call that he had since done.

Vishnu and Rayan nodded, then immediately withdrew from the presence of Arjuna

"What's wrong?" arjuna asked, when Bimo had arrived right in front of him.

Bimo gave a very annoying smile, making Arjuna want to raise his fist to Bimo's face. Especially if he remembers that Bimo once spent a night with his Luna.

"Where are you hiding that whore?" Bimo asked in a loud enough voice, making the employees who happened to be in the lobby turn directly towards Arjuna and look at Arjuna with surprised looks.

"So your mouth is Bimo, if you don't want your neck broken." Arjuna threatens Bimo.

Bimo laughs. "You think I'm afraid of that empty threat of yours? I'm not scared at all, Juna. My arrival here just wanted to say that the owner of the Red House has told me about Luna's whereabouts. Tell Luna to hide as much as possible, because if not Miss. Rana and his men will definitely find Luna and torture themselves Luna for daring to escape from the Red House" Bimo said, smiling triumphantly.

Arjuna clutched the collar of Bimo's shirt firmly and pulled the man's body closer to his. "Don't fuck about you, Bimo. If until Luna does why, I will definitely look for you and beat you all out! If I have to, I'll kill you."

Bimo laughed, and the man's laughter further enraged Arjuna. Arjuna immediately raised his fist against Bimo's face until Bimo fell to the floor.

"Godjon! What are you doing?!" Philanthropist Evan who happened to enter the lobby along with a personal assistant and a bodyguard immediately shouted as he saw Arjuna punching Bimo.

Arjuna and Bimo turned to the origin of the voice.

"Don't say anything to my father if you still want to breathe air until tomorrow" Arjuna told Bimi, before his father arrived before him.

Bimo just smiled cynically, then he got up to his feet and paid his respects to Philanthropist Evan.

"Good Afternoon, Om," said Bimo.

"Yes, during the afternoon, Bimo. What are you guys doing here? Aren't you two ashamed of fighting in front of so many people? You two are no longer college kids like you used to be free to fight anywhere and anytime!" The benefactor glared at Bimo and Arjuna alternately.

"I'm sorry, Dad, I accidentally punched him" Arjuna said.

"And I accidentally pissed him off, Om, I promise I won't do it again." Bimo.

Dermawan just nodded, trying to understand what had just happened, because indeed since long ago Arjuna and Bimo often had different opinions and finally the two fought to throw each other fists as Dermawan just witnessed.

"Alright, you two quickly get out of the lobby if you are not satisfied fighting, otherwise I will punish you both as before" said Dermawan, then continued his steps towards the man's study room which was on the top floor.

After the benefactor left, Arjuna immediately pulled Bimo closer towards him. "If you mess with Luna, I'll make sure that I'm the one who takes your life."

Bimo laughs. "I'm scared, really scared! Somehow you were so stupid that you fell in love with a prostitute," said Bimo, then he turned to leave the office whistling triumphantly because he had managed to make Arjuna worry.

***

At Arjuna's residence, Carnation was panicked to death because suddenly Maria came along with Sabrina. I don't know what the mother-in-law wants to do because it comes suddenly without notice.

Anyelir saw Mary's car enter the front yard, so he ran to the room and called a waiter to his room.

Now Carnation was standing in front of a mirror in her room and asked a minister to tie a small pillow to her stomach.

"What's all this for, ma'am?" ask the waiter who looks confused.

"Have it, don't ask too many questions. Just do what I tell you to do" said Anyelir.

"Anjelir, Carnations! Mama's been calling you downstairs but you didn't come. Why, anyway, in the room?"

Carnations froze as the door of her room opened and Maria stood in the doorway staring straight at where she was standing.

"Oh, shit!"

Seriate.
