Moonlight After Sunset's
Tea Party

"A special thing is honestly just a sweet memory that's hard to forget."

*****************#####*****************

"Where are you from?" ask Zakila upset.

"We've been waiting for you guys since then" he continued, pointing to the chair behind him.

"Alley!" call Luna happy. His face looked happy, he then walked over to Dusk and hugged her.

"Gosh,"

"Let's go" cried Maya as she moved from her seat.

"I'm glad you're back" whispered Luna softly before they entered the carriage of the horse-drawn carriage.

"Sorry,"

"No, what. I'm glad to see you back."

Luna then smiled warmly as she welcomed Kaira's hand to climb into the carriage.

"How long till you get to your mansion, Kaira?" maya asked as the horse-drawn carriage had already passed through the city plaza.

"Not long, only about 30 minutes."

"Why didn't you choose to build it in the middle of the city?"

"I don't like a lot of noise."

"I understand."

A few minutes into the facility, they had made it out of the capital and were now heading towards the Kaira mansion. Along the way, they only saw thousands of trees on each side of the road, no houses or other activities there.

"Are you trying to isolate yourself?" ask Zakila curiously.

"No, I just want to rest in peace" Kaira replied kindly.

"But this...."

"It's too quiet and horrible" Muna's timps cut off Zakila's words.

"Hahaha, is that so?" Kaira asked after seeing the cute expression on her guest's face.

"You're like a princess with a cursed disease" cried Maya indifferently.

"Is that so? I think it's good," Kaira replied happily.

"I don't think this place is bad," murmured Dusk slowly but still could be heard by them.

"Senja, I think you need eye rehabilitation" exclaimed Maya who could not understand her best friend's path of thought.

"I think Maya was right." Muna also agreed with Maya's opinion of the poor vision of Dusk.

"I'll tell the royal doctor to check your eye health." continued Luna who looks worried at Dusk.

Dusk confused at the reaction of his best friend can only turn to look at Kaira who is currently smiling knots at him.

"Did I say the wrong thing?" the twilight Inner was clearly visible on his face.

"It's funny this girl" Kaira muttered as she looked at the bewildered face of Dusk.

"Hahaha, you're confusing him."

Kaira's words suddenly made Luna and the others stare at Dusk.

They could also see how confused Dusk was to their previous reactions. Slowly Luna started to smile while stroking slowly the twilight hair.

"We're just kidding, don't think too much."

"Luna's right, you don't have to go to the doctor."

Maya now began to explain the situation.

"I don't know why you like this weird place so much but that doesn't mean you're weird either" he continued with a clear emphasis.

"They're just joking, that's all." continued Zakila confirming the words of her twin sister.

"Huh, I know that. There was no need to explain in detail as well," Inner Dusk who still maintained his innocent smile.

"Alright, just get here," Kaira exclaimed as she patted her hands together.

"Because we'll be there soon, so let's relax a little." Kaira then pointed towards the outside window where the mansion building was located.

"What a beauty," said Zakila who was stunned by the beautiful view of the mansion.

"That's the reason why I chose this place," Kaira exclaimed in satisfaction.

"Now I understand," retorted Maya who was also interested.

A short while later, they had already reached the area within the mansion. There is a lake overlooking the forest with a beautiful view of the hill in front of it. In addition, the front area of the mansion is filled with various flowers and there is also a tea time area there.

"You can play all the games here. Do whatever you want, but remember. Don't ruin it, okay."

After saying that, Kaira went inside the mansion and left them along with some servants and also guards.

"I'm going to the lake. Do you want to come with me?" muna asked Luna who was joking with Zakila.

"Me!?" luna asked confusedly.

"Yes, you."

"All right."

They then left from the front garden of the mansion, then went towards the lake.

"What's wrong?" asked Luna in her whisper.

"It's about it," Muna replied briefly as she glanced at Dusk.

Arriving at the lake, Muna immediately told her what happened to her while waiting for Dusk to return. Luna looked very worried to hear the whole story of Muna. He felt that what happened at Dusk was outrageous.

"I didn't expect Duke Ari to give the eastern region to Dusk as a gift of his maturity."

Luna's protest was upset after glancing at Dusk who was currently laughing with Zakila and Maya.

"Whatever Duke Ari hates at Dusk, he absolutely must not treat his son biasedly" he continued with uncontrollable emotions.

"Hold your emotions, Luna. We cannot interfere in their internal matters. Besides, it was Dusk himself who decided it." explained Muna who tried to control Luna's emotions.

"I don't know what he's thinking, but looking back at Dusk seems to really like the eastern region. He specially came there just to see hers."

Muna finally made Luna cry.

"What a bad thing he's been through. He was even happy just by accepting the sandy wasteland," lirih Luna was sad.

"I know it, but this is the decision."

"It's still plain. I don't know what makes Arina and Sarah hate him so much."

"I agree with you. Besides being good, Dusk is also very plain. I didn't know that he had been fooled to this extent."

"Unfortunately we also cannot help him in the construction of the eastern region. Rumors will spread and Dusk will be in trouble again."

"Huff, I hate rumors."

"Me too" Muna replied with a cold look.

On the other hand, Dusk and Maya decide to leave Zakila alone in the park. They decided to take a leisurely walk around the mansion area.

"Have you been healed?" ask Maya stiff.

"Well, what do you mean?" The confused twilight asked back.

"That, my point is. Have you recovered? You look like a zombie that just woke up from the dead this morning."

"of course. Your face at that time was very pale, moreover the dark circles under your eyes were huge. You've been fighting all night."

"Oh, hahaha. You know, no, that I really like books. So that's when..."

"Don't tell me you read it until you forget the time?"

"Hehe"

"He believed,"

"Huh, you know. How worried we were when we saw your condition like that."

"Sorry, I promise you..."

"What promise? You should not only promise but keep that promise."

"It seems Maya has misunderstood. I'm sure Muna and Luna must not have told him anything," the inner twilight as it glanced at Muna and Luna who were currently having a serious conversation.

"All right, I promise this is the last one."

"Eventually what, most tomorrow is also the same." Inner Dusk mocked himself.

"It's good if you understand" Maya replies before entering the forest.

"Then, what book did you read at the time?"

"Only a few books of fairy tales and folklore."

"Did you really like those books?"

"Of course, do you want to read it too."

"No thanks."

"Maya is very similar to Muna when it comes to books. Are those knights really so lazy in reading ?"

It's been twenty minutes, Maya and Dusk are in the woods. Now they are seeing a group of hedgehogs who are carrying their food to their respective nests.

"Did they always do that?" tanya Dusk while pointing to one of the hedgehogs who was currently carrying an apple on his shoulders.

"It looks like it,"

"They're so cute,"

"Do you want to touch her?"

"Can I?"

"of course. They're just ordinary animals so it's no problem."

"Alright, then I want this one."

Dusk then took one of the hedgehogs who was carrying mushrooms on his shoulders.

****

After a long conversation, Luna and Muna then returned to the park. How shocked they were to see Zakila alone there. Luna then turned her face to glance in all directions, the same thing was done by Muna.

"Where's Dusk?" asked Luna coldly.

"And where's Maya?" timpal Muna then.

"I don't know," replied Zakila indifferently.

"Huh, how could it be? Not that you've been here with them since," cried Muna annoyed.

"They decided to go for a walk" Zakila grumbled as she stood facing Muna.

"So don't bother me anymore" he continued, pointing at Muna's chest.

"What's this?" ask Kaira who is currently changing clothes.

"Nothing," Muna replied flatly as she snapped Zakila's finger.

"Can you feel the aura of Maya and Dusk?" ask Luna to Kaira.

"Sure," replied Kaira kindly.

"What happened to them?" kaira asked in her heart.

"At this time Maya and Dusk were in the southern part of the mansion. They're walking out of the woods now and they're heading this way."

"Thank you,"

A few minutes later, Dusk and Maya return to the park. There they were welcomed by various snacks and tea.

"When did you get all this ready?" ask Dusk with his innocent face.

"This cake has just arrived" replied Kaira kindly.

"really?" Can I eat it?"

"of course. You can eat whatever's on this table."

"Thank you."

Dusk then sat on one of the chairs in front of him, as well as Maya. After the return of Dusk and Maya, tea time was soon started. Kaira gracefully distributed the tea into each of their cups.

"Please enjoy," exclaimed Kaira with a sweet smile on her face.

"Thank you" they answered in turn.

As she was about to pass by the Twilight table, Kaira accidentally saw a hedgehog hanging in a twilight dress.

"What's this?" ask Kaira curiously.

"Oh this, his name is Bubu. I found it in the woods. Look, there's still a mushroom on his back" replied Dusk innocently as he lifted Bubu onto the table.

"She's so cute" Kaira said as she looked at the sweet smile of Dusk holding a hedgehog.

"Senja really liked it, so she decided to take it home" Maya explained.

"Can I?" ask Kaira.

"God, I can't resist it." Kaira muttered as she looked at the twilight eyes that were shining brightly before her.

"Ehem, okay." Kaira answered stiffly, her face flushed with embarrassment.

"I want to wrap it," Kaira continued in her heart while imagining the expression of Dusk's face as she was about to be wrapped.

"Thank you," replied Dusk gladly.

"God, my heart," murmured all of them who saw the sweet smile of Dusk.

"Senja is really cute at the moment," inner Luna who couldn't stand the sweet taste in front of her.

"You better stop that smile!" exclaim Maya who makes the face of Dusk shrivel.

"Why?" tanya Dusk confused.

"Your smile can make us diabetic" Maya explained.

"Huh? What's?" ask Dusk who did not understand the meaning behind Muna's words.

"What does it mean, it's so strange." Inner Dusk full of tents asked.

"Here you go, we'd better eat it" exclaimed Kaira before sitting on the side chair of Dusk.

"Now I know, other than her innocent face and her weak body. It turned out that she was also very funny and entertaining," Kaira's inner self as she looked at Dusk who was enjoying the tarts with a happy smile on her face.

"I want to have it."
