TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD
Mouth Addu
Luna, you should be thanking me for taking care of you from childhood, you should be thanking me by giving up on Helen.
The memory of the incident a few decades ago re-spins in Mona's mind. The woman who was once a famous model began to pry her kindness to Luna as a child.
You kid doesn't know it's lucky! How dare you hurt my son!
Hideon and Mona are close friends from their school days. At that time, Mona was still the wife of people, as well as Hideon. However, since Luna was born, Hideon's status changed suddenly into a widower. Although somewhat tenuous, their relationship is still warm, especially Hideon is also close friends with her husband. Their homes are close together too.
At that time, Mona who had been married for years had not given a single child. She sees the adorable little Luna making her take Luna with her, so it happens that Hideon often leaves her for work, often leaving her son to Mona.
A few years later when Luna was two years old, Mona was declared pregnant. He is very happy especially when he knows the baby he contains is a woman. However, behind her happiness of having children, her career suddenly dimmed, even her husband's wealth slowly depleted due to bankruptcy.
It turns out Mona's kindness didn't last long, especially when she saw Hideon's success. Three years later, Mona divorced her husband. After he began to try to get closer to Hideon again, the widower had one child and finally stopped Mona for pity to see Luna who had no mother. Because the treasure made Mona think greedily, she approached Luna and Hideon only to dredge up the treasure she was about to divert for Helen.
"Luna, Mommy's worried about you, son. Even though I'm not your real mother, I'm the one who raised you from childhood. The trouble you two have makes me sad. Mommy didn't think you could be that rude to Helen, hurting Helen's hand was a criminal act. If you weren't my son, I would have reported it to the police" Mona said.
Cih, this drama moreover? inner Aluna.
Aluna does not yet understand Luna's true little life, she hears Mona's explanation is so fed up. According to him, Mona was really a two-faced woman. Aluna felt alone, the two people were only good to her when in public, especially in front of the Alvin family.
"So what's the purpose of you coming here? I'm not sure Luna my daughter-in-law did it! Yesterday, you slandered Luna! And now slander moreover?" clara snapped while pointing at Mona's face.
Despite not accepting Clara's attitude, Mona suddenly becomes a patient and gentle person. "Pacify yourself Mistress, we came here well. And one more thing, I haven't finished what I said. Please give me some time to explain."
Seeing the emotional Clara, Grandma Alma asked the woman to be quiet. He told Mona to finish her words. "Now talk to the point" said Grandma Alma softly.
Helen who was next to him pretended to be silent. Her lips smiled tightly looking towards Aluna. Not budging, Aluna stared back cynically at him. In the hearts of the two women it was like they were showing who was the strongest here.
"Grandmother Alma and Lady Clara, my arrival here is to talk about this matter carefully, however Luna is still my son, I want to."
"What is the indemnity?" Aluna's eyes were wide.
"I'm not the culprit, so why should I compensate!" exciting Aluna.
"I'm not lying. Look at the wound pretty badly, I can't possibly hurt my own hand. Just confess, brother!" Helen began to open her voice.
Aluna clenched her hands tightly, otherwise remember Alvin's words to not fight back. He must have punched Helen in the lips because he was so angry.
"Confess how? If he doesn't do it, why should we take responsibility?" Clara ruffled her waist in front of the mother and child.
"Mrs! How do you feel if your child is hurt? Definitely not accept, right? I really believe my son's words that Luna did it!" Mona begins to challenge Clara. Actually in his little heart he did not believe right, but he continued to defend his son.
"What if I still don't trust him and trust Luna more, do you still ask for compensation?" Clara smiled cynically, she was very sure Helen's speech was wrong, she was also sure not her son-in-law did. She was eager to scold him deeply, but, Grandma Alma again prevented him, telling them to sit quietly, however they were guests.
"Everyone please sit quietly!" exclaim Grandma Alma mediate. "Helen, now explain to us in detail how chronological it is?"
Without waiting for a long time, when Helen also opened her voice, she began to tell from the beginning of entering the bar until Luna hit her own head until she scratched her hand until it bled. Of course he told it so dramatically, Helen made up the story in detail with a reasonable explanation.
"I just want to get justice here." Helen began to shed her false tears. "I was always wrong, but if I didn't demand it, I was afraid that one day my sister would do it again to me" Helen said, wiping her tears with her handkerchief.
Alma's grandmother felt that there was something strange here. However, he could not blame Helen, saying the woman was trying to slander Luna. Alma's grandmother glanced at Aluna and Helen alternately.
Grandma, trust me, inner Aluna. His eyes closed in an instant, a sign that he wanted to ask the woman for her trust.
"I can't tell you who's right here. Moreover, there is no evidence that strengthens Luna the culprit. If indeed Luna is guilty, I myself will provide compensation," said Grandma Alma trying to be wise.
Don't worry, I trust you, Luna. Inner Granny Alma.
