TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
The Hideon Debate
Noah sits casually in his study, speechless as he imagines Arabella. He finished his work a few minutes ago, now he is relaxing to enjoy a break after eating. Many times the man touched the letter keys on his phone, stringed a few words together and deleted them again. He hesitated to send the message to Ara's number.
What if the present soul is Helen, and Ara has not returned? Helen would have been suspicious and scolded me again once I knew I was contacting her, Noah said.
Noah deleted the message again, then placed the flat-shaped object on the nightstand. He began massaging his temples then leaning his back on the chair.
Why do I always think of Ara? Why hasn't he come back until now? What his world looks like, I'd love to come and meet him there, Noah's mind again.
These few days she had missed Ara so much, that she had forgotten her memories with Lisa back then. Noah still imagined the moment Ara smiled sweetly at him, but his delusion instantly faded when Ara's gentle facial expression was replaced by Helen's extremely rude attitude.
Ah' I can really go crazy if it's like this constantly. Where are you now Ara?
...***...
Mona is busy gossiping with her socialite friends over a video call. This afternoon he plans to go out with his friends while shopping. Unfortunately, Helen just called telling him to get information from Hideon.
"My husband, it looks like you're very tired. Was the work in the office so much that I just got home this afternoon?" mona asked as soon as Hideon finished his bath.
From last night he hasn't slept as he keeps a close eye on Zero's progress. To the extent that he decided to go home this afternoon just to rest for a while.
"Hem" said Hideon.
Mona approached Hideon again, trying to calm the man down by giving him a light massage on his back. "If there's a burden, just tell me everything. I'm ready to listen."
Looks like Hideon deliberately ignored me, inner Mona. Then he deliberately hardened his massage to make Hideon aware.
"Ah' could it be softer?" hideon shouted and then looked.
Mona pretends to be calm. "My husband, I heard the news that Luna has a child. But, as long as I'm with Luna, it's like I've never seen Luna give birth."
Hideon was silent and silent again.
"Is the news true?" ask Mona again.
"I'm tired and very sleepy, can you just come out and talk about this?" hideon was uncomfortable.
"A lot of people ask me. If this news is true, why are you hiding it? Luna gave birth when you said you wanted to go abroad six years ago?" Mona continues to provoke Hideon's emotions.
Uncomfortable with Mona's questions, Hideon wakes up again, knocking Mona's hand off her back. "I said I was tired. Can you not bother me to hear that unimportant question! Or else you better get out!"
"Always be tired every time I ask! My ears broke long ago hearing Alvin's family's gossip about our family. They said that I wasn't good at taking care of Luna because I didn't know anything, until she had a child. The question doesn't matter what you say? Then who do you think I am?" Mona pretends to be emotional.
Hideon exhaled his breath. From last night he must have guessed that this news quickly spread. "Jawab doesn't know to keep them quiet."
Hearing Hideon's words, Mona is convinced that the news is true. "So Luna has given birth? If so, where and who is the father of the child?"
