When Luna came in, the waiter closed the door again.
Inside master Gu was already waiting for Luna with a serious look. He was sitting on the sofa and at the table was also available 2 cups of warm tea.
“ Uncle” greet Luna with an awkward smile.
Mr. Gu stands “ Don't hesitate so. Come son!”
Luna walked awkwardly and sat on a separate sofa with master Gu. Before Mr. Gu began his serious talk he told Luna to drink first.
“ What does this uncle want to talk to me about? the first time uncle looks friendly, then next this uncle always install a serious look that makes goosebumps only.” whispered Lum heart while drinking his tea.
After drinking a mouthful of tea, Luna put it back down.
“ Uncle, what things do uncle want to talk to me about?” ask Luna gently.
Master Gu looked at Luna seriously, then suddenly sat down on his knees in front of Luna.
Luna was immediately shocked to shut her mouth.
“ Uncle, what are you doing? ”
Luna stood up and tried to get Mr. Gu to stand up immediately. But master Gu refused and remained seated. So that Lunapun also sat on his knees in front of Master Gu.
Master Gu placed his hands on his knees and lowered his head.
“ Luna, I represent my son Mark Rendra, to apologize for all his ill-treatment of you. I'm really sorry for not being able to teach him well” with a voice that sounds so sincere.
“ Oh my God, uncle knelt in front of me for this? very unexpected” whispered Luna's heart.
“ Your uncle doesn't have to do all this just for that. In any case uncle is completely innocent. And right now, morally speaking, I'm very guilty. I'm just a young woman, it's very inappropriate to treat an older person like this I beg to rise.” pinta Luna.
Master Gu shook his head, though,
“ No. I won't get up until you accept my apology for my son”
Luna looked at Master Gu's hand, the fingers that had started to wrinkle looked a little shaky.
Luna took Master Gu's right hand and grasped it with both hands.
“ Uncle, Mark used to treat me harshly. But now that he wasn't, he had gradually changed. So you don't have to feel guilty or wrong in educating her.
He did that for a reason, and I don't blame him. And I don't hold grudges for his bad treatment.” Clearly Luna was gentle and reassuring.
Master Gu raised his head and looked at Luna.
“ Luna, you're not lying?”
Luna smiled, “ Uncle, I am indeed a little naughty. But I never lie to a sincere person to me.”
“ Thank you son, you are indeed a good boy” Mr. Gu's eyes look start to glaze over.
“ Uncle does not need to thank you or anything. Now uncle must stand. I would feel very guilty if uncle was still like this” invited Luna while helping Mr. Gu to stand up.
Just then Master Gu looked very happy, he immediately stood up with the help of Luna and returned to sit on the sofa.
Now her position was Luna sitting on the same sofa as Master Gu.
“ Luna can uncle ask for one thing?”
“ Things is uncle?”
“ Uncle wants you to keep Mark for uncle!”
Luna frowned and laughed,
“ Haha, Uncle don't joke. Mark is a grown man he doesn't need my supervision” replied Luna
“ Uncle is not kidding” seriously
“ Uh, what's going on? ” whispered Luna's heart.
He instantly fell silent and looked at Master Gu's serious face.
Mr. Gu took a picture frame, where in the photo is a picture of Mark's father, Mr. Gu and a boy who was in the middle smiling cheerfully.
Mr. Gu handed the photo to Luna.
“ Mark is the son of Rai Rendra my best friend. When his father died, I couldn't attend, I was preoccupied with company matters.
I was very late to help him at that time. At a very young age he had experienced a very stifling thing, his father died, his mother fell ill plus no one comforted him.
He was also treated badly by his uncle.
Before all that happened, he was a very cheerful and warm young man. But after her bitter story she turned into a very cold and difficult child to approach.
With my very late arrival, I tried to raise her like my own child. At that time I felt very happy because he could be cheerful as before.
But one time he spoke to me, he wanted to find the man who had harmed his father and avenge his father's death. I, as his father's friend, heard his strong determination to support him and I promised to support him.
He is indeed a determined man and very talented in various things.even at the age of a teenager, he has intervened to help me take care of the company. Ideas\-ideas brilliant always produce results so that make the company grow rapidly.
But the way of life is not always in accordance with what we want. One day Mark who always fulfilled the ambition to avenge the death of his father experienced something so terrible that made his mother very worried and scolded him.
Since then his mother has always avoided him, and made my cheerful and warm son Mark return to being a cold and difficult man near.” Obviously, Mr. Gu
Master Gu took Luna's right hand and pleaded, asking,
“Now he's an adult and I'm getting older. I don't know until when I can accompany her again.
therefore before it was too late uncle wanted there to be someone who could pay attention to him and provide warmth for him.
So that he doesn't feel lonely anymore. Uncle think you are the right person, then please replace uncle to take care of him!”
Luna's heart was very touched to see the sincerity of Mr. Gu who was so fond of Mark.
It reminded him of his grandfather, who used to do anything to protect his family. Unknowingly a clear circle flowed down his cheek.
But on the other hand he also felt a heart hook, as he felt uncle Gu was not thinking about his feelings at all.
Luna released her hand from Master Gu's grasp gently .
“ Uncle I don't know in terms of what uncle judges me, so feel I'm the right person to replace you to take care of him.
Mark has a lot of women around him, I'm just one of them, he's engaged to me just to achieve his goals and about this, I think uncle knows it too.
Uncle, not only did Mark have a hard time, but I did too. Even though Mark said he would take good care of my parents, he himself could not prove whether my parents were guilty or not.
Therefore, if uncle begged me to take care of him, I don't think that's the right thing. Because if the facts revealed my parents were guilty, then Mark and I would never have had a good relationship.
Mark would hate me for my parents' mistakes, and so would I. I will also hate him, because no matter what my father and my mother I will never hate him and I will never be willing to kill their lives cruelly.” Luna bowed her head in pain.
Master Gu was stunned to hear Luna's words, he looked at Luna.
“ About your parents and Mark's problems. Uncle promised to help you. Now uncle wants to ask, do you feel your parents are guilty?”
Luna smiled in her tears.
“ Of course I'm sure my parents are innocent.”
“ Therefore, you just convince yourself that everything will be fine. And uncle will help you to prove your parents' innocence” tried to convince
Luna raised her head, she felt strange. Hearing Master Gu's words, it reminded him of L who was also trying to convince him that his parents were innocent.
“ Uncle do you also feel that my father and mother are innocent?” ask Luna.
“ For that I can't be sure either. But I have one thing that makes me feel confident that your parents are innocent. But I hope you can be patient first” explained Mr. Gu.
Luna smiled bitterly, she felt that she was already very fed up with the person who said such a thing.just like master L who last time also said the same thing, told her to be patient. So that Luna did not respond too much to Master Gu's words.
Their conversation continues. Mr. Gu said a lot to Luna.
***
The clock has shown at 23:45, Mark who was waiting began to feel unsettled.
He walked back and forth in the living room with an occasional look at the clock.
“ What did uncle talk to Luna about all this time?” whispered Mark's heart.
From the second floor, Luna who had already walked out of master Gu's room saw the unsettled Mark.
“ She looks restless. Hummm, Mark can't see too clearly what I'm feeling right now.I have to be as usual” whispered Luna's heart.
Luna took a deep breath and then stepped down the stairs.
Mark saw her coming down, he immediately looked at Luna in annoyance.
“ Hey why talk so long? Are you flirting with my uncle?” shouting Mark.
Hearing Mark's annoying words, Lunapun lost control. He releases both of his high heels and throws them at Mark.
“ Basic sucks” said Luna full of annoyance.
The throw didn't hit Mark, but it also upset Mark.
“ Hey hey why did you throw me. That's not what a woman should do, so ungraceful” cried Mark.
“ I don't care. You suck” while walking out.
“ Where are you going?”
But Luna did not ignore Mark at all, she ran fast.
“ You convey my apology to uncle for not being able to meet him to say goodbye, Mark said to the waiter who was there.
" Good sir "
Then Mark also ran after Luna.
“ Him why looks so upset. He usually never reacts like that. What did uncle talk to him about” asked Mark in his heart.
When Mark got outside, he saw Luna enter the car.
He smiled with relief.
“ Hufft, it turns out he just wants to go home. I guess he'll do crazy things ”
Mark approached the car,
“ Master I will take you home” bargain guard.
“ No need. Let me drive” myself Mark said
“ Biaklah Tuan” while walking backwards and let Mark in.
While in the car Mark saw Luna who was pouting and did not look at him at all.
“ Luna you think I'm your driver yes, immediately move sit to front” his order.
“ What a difference I sit in the front with in the back. Still you are driving” replied Luna casually.
“ Of course different. Here I'm your boss, but now you're the boss”
“ If that's why you refused the bodyguard to drive. It's your own fault”
“ Luna you don't know my patience anymore. You just listen to your orders!”
Luna looked at Mark annoyed and gave a gesture as if she wanted to hit Mark on the head.
“Iiii, basic psychopath” muttered Luna.
He came out and moved to sit forward, he put on his seatbelt in a fit of annoyance.
Mark smiling satisfied “ Begin nusif”
Mark drove his car calmly and occasionally glanced at Luna who looked still pouting.
“ Luna, are you still upset with me?” gently.
Luna just kept quiet with her gaze out.
“ Luna, you have since talked to my uncle, your ears no longer work huh?” get upset
Luna glanced at Mark annoyed, but she still did not answer Mark's words.
“ Speak as you please. I won't care ” muttered Luna.
Mark rubbed his forehead, he felt confused about what he should do for Luna to care about it.
“ Maybe I have gone too far?. alright, I better just give up” whispered Mark, then he drove his car fast.
Luna leaned her head against the glass and her index finger rubbed the glass by making a gesture as if she was drawing something.
* Few minutes Later*
On a long and wide riverbank Mark stopped his car.
She blinked her eyes and looked at Mark.
“ Why do we stop here?” luna asked confusedly.
Mark took off his seatbelt, though,
“ Just get off first, I'll show you something” while removing her seat belt.
Luna was confused and scratched her head.
“ But I don't wear sandals” said Luna as she moved her toes with an innocent smile.
Mark saw it, then got out and opened the trunk of his car.
He took his sandals that were there.
He opened Luna's car door,
“ Wear this” while laying below.
Luna smiled, then put it on.
“ Hhaha, isn't this Cute” while looking at her feet wearing her great Mark slippers for her.
“ It's okay. It suits you” Mark said with a smile.
Mark held Luna's hand and invited her to sit on a bench by the river.
The night was very beautiful, the sky was decorated with a sprinkling of stars and moonlight, in addition to the Broad River with the reflection of light from the surrounding street lights and also there are various flowers that grow on the edges.
“ It's beautiful. I just went here for a long time. As it turns out, the nighttime atmosphere here is very beautiful and soothing. How do you know a place like this?” luna asked while looking at the sky.
“ Back when I was Chinese-American, I came here often enough to calm my mind. The calm atmosphere here can really restore the good mood”
“ You are right, I also feel it” replied Luna softly.
Luna smiled and swung her hand upwards, as if she wanted to grasp the stars in the sky.
Mark looked at Luna with a gentle smile.
