By noon, Ethan was bored from being constantly in the room. Because felt understanding, Luna took him to the hospital garden in a wheelchair.
“When can I come home?” Ethan asked as he stared at the panorama in front of him. Meanwhile, Luna sat on the long chair beside him.
“Maybe tomorrow,” answered Luna as she played with her smartphone. She seemed busy and leaving Ethan feeling neglected.
“What do you see? You’ve been playing with your smartphone!” Ethan snorted in annoyance.
“Don’t be mad, I’m just looking for food
recipes promised I would always cook for you, ” said Luna as she grabbed Ethan’s shoulder.
“That’s not necessary, you’ll be exhausted later,” replied Ethan as he brushed off a lock of Luna’s hair that covered her cheek due to the wind. The essence in the garden was very cool, seen several other patients who were also looking for a fresh atmosphere like Ethan.
“Ethan …!” someone’s voice rang out from behind Ethan and Luna. They prayed to turn immediately.
“Mommy,” Ethan muttered when he saw that the person calling him was Dina, his mother.
The middle-aged woman walked over to her son and daughter-in-law with a worried expression. However, there was a figure behind her that made Luna smile cheerfully. That person was Alexa, Ethan’s close cousin.
“Lunaaaa ….” Alexa scrambled to hug Luna.
“hahaha … I never thought you would come.” Luna chuckled, then released Alexa’s hug.
“Aunty Dina invited me, while I was on holiday too.” Alexa smiled at Luna. showing her more beautiful face and still with her tomboyish style.
“I’m sick, the first one you greet is Luna. OVERALL!” Ethan said, glancing at his cousin who was standing beside his wife.
“Honestly, I’m here because I miss your wife, we’ll have fun and chat a lot later,” replied Alexa while glancing at Luna who just smiled at her.
Ethan rolled his eyes, glanced at Alexa’s annoyance, who always caught Luna’s attention and made him feel neglected.
“Besides, why do you have an accident, are you speeding or not careful. As far as mom knows, you are good at driving.” Finally, Dina made a sound.
“My car’s brakes are broken, Mom,” Ethan replied.
“Why did it break down, did you never service your car?” asked Dina with a frown.
Luna didn’t flinch, remembering what the police said this morning. ‘If I tell Ethan about someone who accidentally cuts the brake wire in his car, Mommy will be worried, I better tell you later,’ she thought.
“I’m always servicing, But I don’t know … maybe it’s time for me to get into an accident.”
“Luckily it didn’t take your life,” said Alexa as she sat beside Luna
“That was close, someone said my car exploded,” Ethan said.
“Explode?” Dina rounded her eyes.
“Yes, Mom. When I arrived, Ethan was already in the emergency room escorted by residents who helped him.” Luna answered with a sad face. Uh … she remembered yesterday’s incident when she saw Ethan fighting death in the emergency room.
“Oh, God. You should have been more careful.” Dina looked pityingly at Ethan who was still wearing the bandage on his head.
“Yes, Mom.”
“You must be very panicked.” Dina turned her gaze to Luna. She understood how shocked her daughter-in-law found out that her husband had been hurt. The middle-aged woman understood very well because Ethan’s father had died and made her so devastated that she didn’t want to remarry.
“I’ve been panic, but I try to stay calm, “replied Luna politely.
“Isn’t Edward here?” asked Dina. Suddenly she thought of her stepson.
“He’s on her honeymoon in London, Mom,” Ethan replied.
“Honeymoon? Wretched younger brother, he’s having fun.” Dina didn’t look like it.
“He left before it happened, Mom,” said Luna.
“It’s been a long time getting married and just on a honeymoon. I wouldn’t be like that if I was married. Going straight on the Swiss way.” Alexa sneers at the memory of Viona and Edward, whom she dislikes.
“Who wants to marry you?” Ethan asked Alexa who looked confident.
“Of course someone,” replied Alexa curtly.
Dina sighed, then took out the smartphone from her bag. “Mommy will call Edward,” she said.
“No, Mom!” stop Ethan.
“He must know his brother is going through an accident “
“Sorry, Mom. Ethan and I did agree not to tell Edward, we didn’t want to disturb his time with Viona, ” said Luna.
“Mama just told her, not to ask her to come home,” replied Dina.
Ethan and Luna immediately fell silent, while Alexa laughed at the two of them.
___
In London, it is eight o’clock in the morning. Edward and Viona are still sleeping hugging each other in a blanket together. The cold weather in the city seemed to make them feel cold. The heat from last night’s love had faded to bone-chilling cold.
Dret … drett ….
The cellphone that was placed on the table rang, Edward lazily stretched out his hand and took the call without seeing the name of the caller.
“Hello.”
“Hello, Edward. What are you doing?” asked someone from the phone in a familiar voice. Edward frowned and looked at his phone. The name “Mommy” was printed.
“I Just woke up, Mon,” said Edward as he sat down, while Viona was still fast asleep.
“Your brother was in an accident. Luckily he survived.”
“Survived? Eh … I mean, was he seriously injured?” asked Edward with a strange look.
“No, it’s just that his car exploded. If he wasn’t helped by the villagers during the accident, maybe your brother would …” Dina couldn’t continue her words.
“No wonder I couldn’t reach him since yesterday. I’ll go home as soon as possible to see his condition, “Edward said worriedly, but he clenched his fists. Hmm??
“No need, Ethan want you not to go home before your honeymoon is over. Mommy will wait until you come home.
“Yes, Mom.”
“Yes, Mommy hangs up the phone.”
telephone connection has been lost. Edward grabbed his smartphone tightly and threw it against the wall.
Prack…
The smartphone broke into pieces.
Viona was surprised and immediately sat down. She glanced at her husband who looked emotional.
“Why?” asked Viona.
“Ethan was in an accident, he survived,” Edward replied with a gleam in his eyes. Viona was confused by her husband’s attitude. If Ethan had an accident and survived, Edward shouldn’t have shown any emotion. He should be grateful that his brother was safe.
“Then why do you look angry, wouldn’t it be nice if Ethan survived?” asked Viona again.
Edward did not move then showed a different expression again. He turned to Viona and then stroked her cheeks with his firm fingers.
“I just don’t like our honeymoon being interrupted by this news,” Edward replied.
“Really?” Viona asked, her cheeks flushed.
“Of course,” Edward replied and then looked away. “Unfortunately we can’t stay here for a long time. maybe only five days, because now mommy is in Jakarta.”
Onee sighed, showing a blush of disappointment on her face. ‘We only have five days together, after which Edward will see Ethan. Of course, he will also meet Luna. It sucks,’ she thought
