REPLACEMENT ROLE
Part 8's

Luna was glued to Angel's words. His heart was like being hit by something just hearing that short speech.

Without a sense of care Angel breezed, leaving Luna who was still fixated with a sad face, staring at her departure.

"Angel, Mom's sorry. That's not what Mom meant, honey." Lirih Luna is eager to prevent Angel's departure but for now she will succumb.

Luna dragged her legs to sit while folding her palms. Putting his head on the table.

Wanting to catch up with Angel soon, Luna moved out of her seat. After all, he also missed his two in-laws who had not been reunited for long enough.

Not yet had his feet stepped, the baritone's voice made his steps stop.

"Don't go anywhere before I get home from the office. Remember your status now!"

Luna clenched her hands together with a hunting breath as she held back the anger. Last night's anger hasn't subsided with what Scoot did to him.

"I can go alone, anyway I'm not having fun out there!" luna tried to calm down but looked down. "Isn't it a holiday?" he nodded with a cynical look but was not shown.

Scoot stared hard

"You are so stubborn!"

Luna looked up. "Yes you're right, do you regret marrying a stubborn woman like me now?" scorn Luna while smiling like a mock. "Eat it before acting think first," he added in a very low tone like holding something because if it's about his past his chest is so tight.

Once again made Scoot hold back in anger. Luna's words managed to offend him because that was the reality. He marries Luna without knowing her personality.

Not wanting his anger to get even more intense, Scoot walked away with long, emotional steps. It was very clear that the sturdy jaw was hardened as well as the knuckles of his hands.

Luna smiled bitterly as she looked at the sturdy back leaving the dining room. "Not knowing the time, really have no feelings" Luna said to herself.

The tears could not be contained again until he managed to wet his cheeks this morning.

"I hate you so much" Luna muttered as she wiped the tears away.

His appetite seemed to disappear to make him move back from the dining table. With a feeling of annoyance Luna walked towards the garden. Maybe there his heart was a little healed.

Now by the pool Luna sits herself with both feet in the pool.

"Mom, Dad, Luna longs," muttered Luna remembering both her parents. For a year they have not met. A year ago they last met, and that's when his Daddy went to the hospital. Luna is eager to visit both of her parents but Scoot does not allow that. To treat the longing, Luna can only communicate through a telephone connection, and at times videocall.

The Mansion

"Honey, why aren't Dad and Mom coming?" ask Oma Ara.

Angel remained silent for a moment. "Say it'll be tonight, Oma," said Angel.

"This must be the behavior of the child, not missing his parents at all" Oma Ara told Scoot because he already knew if the eldest son was the one who forbade.

"Quiet baby." The husband calmed down while rubbing the shoulder of the woman he loved so much.

"Honey, Angel's better have breakfast first. It looks like Angel's breakfast is done" said Oma Ara with a smile, rubbing her worried face.

"Okay, Oma," said Angel, then came down from Opa Ben's lap.

The two looked at each other at Angel's body which began to disappear from behind the dividing wall towards the dining room.

Mom Ara complained that it was about their living son. Of their five twin sons, Scoot is hard on the nasehati. The mafia soul of the Daddy's stream flows into his blood.

"When do they live such a life? Mom is kasian and feels guilty to our daughter-in-law Luna for failing to educate her" Mom Ara complained of blaming herself as a parent.

Dad Ben took a breath, all this time he had been quite claustrophobic if his wife always complained about the life of their eldest son. Although living abroad the woman can not be separated to think about the household lived by Scoot and also Luna.

"He is stubborn. Whatever we say is completely pointless, completely different from her sisters," Mom Ara said.

"Dad, it's wrong Mom. One of our sons is following in Dad's footsteps."

Hearing her husband feeling guilty, Mom Ara let out a long sigh. "Honey, Dad's been a hero to Mom and the kids. Mom doesn't blame Dad at all" she said, hugging her beloved man. Even though it had five heads but intimacy always colored their household ark. Scoot should have exemplified the harmony of the household of his parents but for Luna it was completely opposite.

They loved Luna very much, even considering Luna their own daughter. Very turned around with their affection first to their first son-in-law. The character of the late Lucy is far different from the figure of Luna. Lucy who likes to spend money by shopping, can not cook and take care of the house. While Luna is a versatile girl, it's just that she's not a career woman like Lucy. Luna was also very close to her two in-laws, especially Mom Ara.

They know that Luna loves Angel who is only her stepson, but Luna thinks Angel is her own daughter. Even they know behind Luna's survival because there is an Angel figure. Be patient in a household that does not know when there is happiness.

"There's nothing to blame Dad for, Mom. Every parent will want their children to be happy, with life their choice. You're the only Scoot that hasn't been conscious." Finally Mike their youngest son voiced, since just listening. "So beautiful and perfect sister-in-law was wasted, it's a pity that I met her after becoming Sister-in-law" he added, while praising and admiring Luna.

"Mom's daughter-in-law doesn't match you at all! Just look around, look at your hairstyle like it's never been shampooed for years" Mom Ara's great-grandson to their youngest son who has long hair.

"Mom don't get me wrong, Mike Brylee's gini-gyny is admired by college students on campus" he said with a lazy eyeball. Mike is a lecturer at one of his own family-owned universities, as well as serving as a director, under Scoot.

Hm!

Dad Ben and Mom Ara could only make a quick pang while shredding their lips. Although Mike looks like a thug but his figure is so warm. Heard whatever advice was tucked in by his parents. Very contrary to the profession he is in, it should be the Police profession or TNI that is suitable to see his appearance.
