About Luna

"Why do you keep looking down like that?"

"It's okay, Mr. Devano."

"In that case, quickly raise your face, and look at me!"

Arka's heart was beating so fast, even though her heart was anxious for fear that Devano would do something bad to her, she finally raised her head and looked at Devano who was currently smiling wryly at her.

"Good day Arka."

"Good day, Mr. Devano."

"How are you?"

"Bright, sir."

"Good."

"Hows it? Do you work here?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Good, but you must remember Arka. I am the owner of this company. I can fire you whenever I want."

DEG

"Don't Master, please don't fire me. I really need this job."

"Ck, you've never bothered your sister, Luna again, have you?"

"No sir, I never really bothered Mba Luna. Besides, Mba Luna is not currently living with us either."

"Alright then, I believe you."

"Thank you, sir."

"Butiiii, if you still want to work in this office for a relatively long time, you have to honestly answer my questions to you. If you'd honestly answer my question to you, I'd give you assurances in this office to work whenever you want."

"Answer honestly, sir's question? What do you mean sir? What am I supposed to do? I'd do anything as long as you don't fire me from here."

"Hehhhh, you take it easy. I don't want to do anything that troubles you. I'm just asking you to be honest with me."

"Honestly? Honest about what, sir?"

"About Luna. You have to be honest about who Luna really is to me!"

"About Mba Luna? What do you mean sir?"

"Heh, don't pretend to be stupid, Arka! Don't you often call Luna a collectible, right? What do you mean say that to Luna? Don't you realize, your words are so disgusting and so disrespectful!"

BRAKKKK

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry, but that's the truth."

"Whatchu mean? So, Luna isn't the biological child of both of your parents?"

Arka then shook her head. "Mom, not Mister. He's not my parents' real son."

"You're not lying, are you?"

"No Sir. Didn't you tell me to be honest? I'm honest, Sir."

'Gosh, it's really like I thought if it turns out Luna wasn't their family. The physical shape and face of Luna with her Mama and Arka are also very much different. It's really a challenging thing for me because I have to figure out who Luna's real family really is, Devano's inner self.

"Arka, then how do you know that Luna is not your parents' real child? You're not making this up, are you?"

"Sorry sir, I'm not making it up because my Mama told me herself that Luna is not her biological child."

"Your mother told you all this? How come? How could something that was supposed to be a secret that he could just tell, let alone someone like you?"

"Emh actually Mama accidentally told me all this. At that time, it was circumstances that made him tell me that."

"Certainness? What circumstances?"

"Delight."

"Inforsakenly?"

"Yes, one year ago Mba Luna and Papa had an accident that killed Papa. At that time the condition of Mba Luna was also very severe and lost a lot of blood. Mama was so confused to find a blood donor for Mba Luna, because our family's blood type didn't match her. From that incident, I knew that Mba Luna was not the biological child of my parents. Since that incident, I have hated Mba Luna because I always thought that Papa died because of Mba Luna. And, as a result of that incident I failed to continue college because Papa died. In fact, I had to be a waiter. This is truly a life far from my expectations."

"Arka, you need to be aware. In this world, not everything we want, and what we expect will go according to plan because there is a God of Will. He gives us what we need, not what we expect. And, this is all part of the path of destiny that you have to go through, understand and understand all the meaning of life!"

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, sir."

"One more."

"What Master?"

"About the orphanage."

"What orphanage?"

"So you didn't know that your mom used to go to the orphanage that was near the station?"

"Oh, if that's sorry I don't know. It's just that, everyone does know that Mba Luna is the son of Papa and Mama because Mama was pregnant. Actually, I often ask in my heart if Mama is pregnant where is my real brother? Because relatives no one suspected that Mba Luna was an adopted child and always said that the baby born to Mama was Mba Luna."

"God, so this is really a mystery? The whereabouts of your real children from your actual parents is still a mystery, right?"

"Yes, sir."

"Arka, what if it turns out that your real brother is in that orphanage? Orphanage frequented by your mother?"

"No way, sir. Why did Mama put her biological child in the orphanage while she instead raised Mba Luna as her child?"

"That's my question you need to find out, Arka!"

"What's? My Master?"

Devano then threw a brown envelope on the table.

"Take it! And please investigate all this! Find out to your parents who Luna really is!"

Arka just stared at the brown envelope that so tickled her heart. "Why do you just see? You want to, right? Don't be shy! Quickly take!"

Arka also took the brown envelope while smiling bitterly. "Thank you, sir."

"Yeah, but nothing in this world is free, you understand?"

"Yes sir, I understand. I'll find out the origins of Mba Luna, and about that orphanage."

"Good, smart boy! Hahahaha.., now you can go, Arka! Remember to do your job well! I'm waiting to hear from you!"

"Okay sir, excuse me first."

Devano then nodded his head, and walked out of the branch head's room to return to his office.

"Home, home! Neng Luna, brother's coming! Hahahaha," Devano chuckled as she drove her car into her office.

Half an hour later, he arrived at his office, and immediately approached Luna who was busy late with the files on her desk.

"Luna! Come to my room now!"

Luna then got up from her chair and walked after Devano.

"Devano, you take it easy. I've done all your work."

"Thank you, honey. But there's something more important. Let's get in!"

They then entered Devano's office. However, just as the door was closed, Devano had already pushed Luna's body into the wall.

"Jeez, Devanoooo!" shouted Luna.

"Luna, Joni misses..."

"Joni? Joni your sister?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Such a pity, how dare she miss her sister's boyfriend!"

"Joni came with me Luna!"

"Gosh, why don't I see it? Where's Joni, Devano? Where is Joni really?"

"below. Joni hangs down, Lunaaa!"

PLAKKKK
