TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Other Feelings

Ara recalls Aluna's message, not to keep her distance from Mona and pretend to be friendly with her, so Mona doesn't suspect her.

I have to obey him, otherwise the woman will be suspicious, inner Ara.

"Oh it's noon now. I don't even know, Mom. Because I didn't see the clock." Ara twitched, immediately entered the front yard of the house, "I think it's still nine, '" he added, scratching his head without itching.

"Why are you so dazed like this, son!" exclaimed Mona, "have you taken the medicine given by the doctor? Why is your appearance today so dull?" Mona approaches her son, holding onto Ara's shabby short hair due to the mess.

Ara was writhing spoiled on Mona's arm. "Because of the pain, I'm so lazy to comb my hair, Mom. But take it easy, tonight I'm going to the salon to change my hair color."

"It's okay, later mommy will comb it," Mona replies while embracing Ara. Because of the spoiled attitude Ara showed, Mona was no longer suspicious of him.

Through a split second, they were already in the living room, sitting relaxed while chatting. Because Ara already knew the character of Helen, she also acted like Helen.

"Oh, no! Why your nails don't look pretty today." Mona saw one by one Ara's nails, "today is your schedule pedicure manicure . Be seated! Mommy's got the maid to beautify her."

Just then, two female servants appeared carrying manicure pedicure equipment. Not wanting to be suspected, Ara obeyed what Mona had ordered.

Like a beloved princess, Ara was treated very special by Mona. The two maids tidied up her nails, while Mona stood behind combing Ara's hair. This is the first time Ara has felt a mother's touch.

"Bring my son's favorite strawberry juice now" Mona orders one of the other servants.

"Thank you, Mom."

While tidying up Ara's hair, Mona tells a lot about the ugliness of Luna, especially her past.

"Remember my son, never approach Luna! Because of him

that's slacker. The son of the unlucky bearer, his mother left when he was born. Secretly Luna was washed away, pretending to be gentle but her heart was rotten." Mona continued to heat up Ara, "was she being nice this morning? Don't affect!"

It's not strange for Ara to hear Mona blaspheme her brother. Because he knows they're hostile to each other. In order to gain Mona's trust, Ara acts as if she is on his side.

"Of course it won't be affected, Mom. I was just pretending to be nice so Luna wouldn't report me to the police. This morning I seduced him to retract yesterday's report" Ara said.

Mona said as she fed lunch in Ara's mouth. "Good, it turns out you're very clever and cunning. Mommy is proud to have a smart daughter like you. Layu Luna so that you can work again in Alvin's company, when it is your chance to seize Alvin again."

Ara smilingly nodded, then drank the juice the waiter served.

It's up to you, Mak! Besides, my purpose here is not that. Inner Ara.

The short-haired woman greatly enjoyed the indulgence that Mona gave her. Be very sweet by being a submissive child in front of Mona, but not behind her.

...***...

At 14:00 Alvin and Aluna entered the restaurant to meet with a client, a Chairman of Young's company.

Aluna sat next to Alvin, while the president of Young's company sat next to her female assistant.

"It's nice to meet you President Alvin," said Chairman Young greeting Alvin and then Aluna. "Sit down! It's true that you guys are very compatible. I just saw you guys appear on the TV station. Many netizens praised you." The president of Young's company glanced at Aluna for a moment.

"Thank you," replied Aluna smiling back.

"What cooperation do you want to propose to our company?" Without further ado Alvin asked the man.

After everyone sat down, Young's corporate assistant handed Alvin a paper document. "We have several acres of land already purchased in the city. We will build a luxurious apartment. We're here to invite you to work together to build that apartment. Please read it first, sir."

Didn't want to linger the glasses guy immediately read it. "What land are you buying legal?" tanyanya full of search. According to Alvin the land is still in dispute.

"Of course, we've got the certificate. Our lawyers have also checked its authenticity. We make sure this project will run smoothly and according to plan, because we already have the right market to promote it" said Chairman Young.

Alvin frowned, according to him there was something odd about the document he had read just now. It's not that easy for an Alvin to agree to a cooperative offer from his client. The man was very selective, before asserting, he first told his subordinates to investigate all the way to his roots.

Alvin, who had been focusing on documents, suddenly his attention was distracted by Aluna. He caught Aluna, repeatedly looking at her phone.

"Luna, try to read this document" Alvin told Aluna to read it.

Looks like your mind is not here, Inner Luna. Alvin.

Alvin glanced at Aluna sending a message to Ara.

"Luna," Alvin again called out to her and touched the woman's hand.

"Ah' yes. Sorry there was an incoming message. All right, I'll read it first" said Aluna and grabbed the red map from Alvin's hand.

After reading Aluna gave a comment. "It seems not very suitable to build an apartment in that place. Because around the place there are many government-owned offices, plus the location is flanked by several star hotels. In my opinion, it would be better to choose a strategic place in the middle of the city near the Mall or a crowded entertainment place."

The president of Young's company liked Aluna's comments. His eyes did not blink looking at Aluna.

"I agree," said Alvin, adding, holding Aluna's hand, showing her on the table. I don't know why Alvin was so boyish this time.

Half an hour they talked about business. However, Alvin has not confirmed whether he wants to cooperate or not. In addition to their questionable project, Alvin also dislikes the attitude of Chairman Young who often looks towards Aluna, and tries to steal the view of his wife.

"How do you agree to invest with us?" asked Chairman Young to urge Alvin before the meeting was over.

"I will consider this cooperation again. Soon I will call you again. Thank you, we're stepping down."

After shaking hands, Alvin held Aluna's hand, then walked quickly away from the place, taking Aluna out of the restaurant.

...***...

"You'd better go home to your father's house now" Alvin said as he opened the car door for Aluna.

Hearing Alvin suddenly telling her to go home to Hideon, Aluna was completely shocked. He thinks Alvin kicked him out even thought Alvin would divorce him.

"But, what's my fault? Why was I told to go home?"

Alvin smiled flatly, he stared fixedly at the woman's face. "I know your mind is not here. Go home and finish your business first" he said gently.

Aluna was silent for a moment, not daring to enter the car. Still standing face to face with Alvin next to the open car.

"You didn't fire me, did you? You didn't divorce me, did you. Sorry I wasn't focused."

Aluna thought Alvin was angry.

Alvin chuckles. "I didn't say you were fired. I didn't even say I wanted to divorce you, did I?"

"Then?"

"Did one of the superiors give permission to go home quickly to his subordinates? I know there's important business you want to finish at your father's house" Alvin said, "come home! The driver will take you home."

Alvin's words made Aluna shocked and happy, because the man suddenly became understanding and understood his situation.

"Alvin, I .. say thank you very much."

Aluna's heart flowered, only this time she looked at the man in a different way. Certainly not as Luna's husband, but as an ordinary man who was close to her.

Alvin nodded. "Come, Miss. I'll go back to the company by taxi."

Before Aluna got into the car, they looked at each other for a few seconds. At that time, Aluna really wanted to kiss Alvin as a thank you. However, for some reason since Aluna said that she was not his wife, Aluna was very awkward and embarrassed to kiss Alvin again.

"Be careful on the road" said Alvin, closing the car door.

Before the driver started the engine of his car, Alvin saw from the glass of the car, Aluna smiled at him as she waved her hand.

Not only Aluna, the feeling of the man was the same. As the car was already speeding up and slowly moved away from where Alvin was standing. The 185-year-old looked sadly at the car that was moving away. The man felt helpless, he was very afraid because one day Aluna would leave him.

Until whenever it seems like I will not be ready to accept your departure, Aluna.
