207. Failed to Trace

And after returning from the tourist spot Luna had to receive torture from her father. He was beaten, kicked and locked in a dark room.

Although Luna cried for mercy, the father did not care. He opened the door and let Luna out when Lanni visited with Ramon.

" This time be nice and don't mess up again. If you still want to live a normal life and return to campus, then follow my words..," threatened Luna's father.

" Yes sir..," said Luna with a trembling voice.

" Clean yourself now and put on a nice shirt. After that you can meet Lanni." said the father as he passed.

Luna complies with the father's request. After cleaning up and changing clothes, he meets Lanni and Ramon in the living room.

" Lanni..," call Luna.

" O Lord Luna. Where the hell are you, how on campus do you look ?. Are you sick, Lun...?" asked Lanni while observing Luna from head to toe.

" I.., I'm running into Lan's college again. Tasks are stacked but again there is no spirit to do it..," said Luna lying.

" Say he wanted to graduate and work with me. It is rich in gini. I'm in the spirit of college so I can graduate and pursue my dreams" Lanni said as she glanced at Ramon.

" I know where you're talking to Lanni. You must have a marriage plan, right with Bang Ramon...?" asked Luna with a smile.

" Say who. I'm a girl, so I can only wait. But if the guy next to me is proposing, I don't want to, either." Lanni said quickly.

" Why don't you want to...?" ask Ramon and Luna at the same time.

" Yes, I don't want to deny the point..," said Lanni with a laugh to make Ramon and Luna laugh.

Suddenly Luna's father entered while carrying a snack and a small pot of warm sweet tea.

" Chat, but don't drink, how the hell are you Lun." said Luna's father, putting the teapot and snacks in front of Luna, Lanni and Ramon.

" I'm sorry to take care of Uncle..," Lanni said as she helped Luna's father put the teapot on the table.

Despite only a glance, Rex knew that the sweet tea water in the teapot contained something mystical. And Rex knows exactly where it's directed.

Seeing the father so determined to destroy the happiness of Lanni and her lover, Luna did not stay silent. He deliberately nudged Ramon's arm as the man poured sweet tea into the glass. As a result a small teapot and its contents spilled onto the floor.

" What are you doing Luna...?!" luna's father said loudly to surprise Ramon and Lanni.

" Sorry, not intentionally sir..," said Luna nervously.

" Gapapa Uncle, Luna is not intentionally. It's just tea, surely the stains will disappear later" Ramon said, trying to calm Luna's father.

" Oh yes, my. Forgive Luna's carelessness yes..," said Luna's father with a drawn look.

" Yes Uncle.," Ramon said with a smile.

" Why did Lun, take a lap there...!" luna's father said annoyed.

" Yes sir..," said Luna then rushed in to get a cloth to clean up the tea spill on the floor.

When the teapot was lifted it turned out that the contents were finished. Luna smiled to see it. He brought an empty kettle to the kitchen and replaced it with water.

" Replace clear water is a gapapa right," said Luna while putting a bottle of water on the table.

" Gapapa Lun, thank you..," said Ramon and Lanni together.

After Ramon failed to drink the sweet tea water, Luna's father's attitude seemed unusual. He kept pacing around the living room to make Ramon feel uncomfortable.

" That's what I said to Lun. Hopefully your laziness is gone and you can go back to campus again." said Lanni.

" Aamiin's. Thank you for coming to look at me." said Luna with a smile.

" Together, where is Uncle ?. I want to say thank you too," said Lanni as she moved to the inside of the house.

" Don't go there, Lan...!" luna said loudly to the surprise of Lanni.

" Who why?, Usually I am free to enter the house...," Lanni protested with a frown.

" I'm sorry, I cleaned the floor. Usually likes to be angry if the floor has been scolded before dry..," said Luna lying.

" Oh that. Yes greetings to Uncle yes.," said Lanni while holding Ramon's arm.

From behind the window of Luna's father's room looked at Ramon with a meaningful gaze. He is upset that he failed to frame Ramon. Ramon, who was uncomfortable, turned to the window.

" What's up, honey...?" whisky Lanni.

" Kaya there are others who think of me, but do not know who...?" sahut Ramon as his motorbike slowly left Luna's house.

" Maybe it was Luna's father" said Lanni.

" Maybe too. But I feel the attitude of his Father Luna is a bit strange, you know, darling, especially when the tea in the teapot was spilled. He looked very panicked until he was pacing back and forth around Kita..," said Ramon.

" I feel that way too. Why...?" ask Lanni.

" I don't know either. But you better not come here alone, honey, there must be a meeting. If not I ask who the cake is..," said Ramon reminded.

" Yes..," said Lanni quickly as he tightened his embrace on Ramon's waist.

Rex stared at the passing of his father and mother with a fluffy smile. He was happy because both his parents responded and quickly left the place.

Rex turned his head and was surprised when he heard Luna's scream. Apparently Luna was pulled into the house by her father and then beaten with a violent beat. Luna could only cry without being able to defend herself. When unable to endure the pain, Luna fell unconscious.

Luna's father stopped the action after seeing Luna pass out. Instead of holding Luna to move her to the room, she dragged Luna into the room and locked her up. After that Luna's father went somewhere.

Luna's father returns during the night with an old man who is later known as a shaman. Then they performed a strange ritual by composing and burning a lot of incense in the middle of the house. The dense incense smoke filled the house and it made Luna grow from her stupor.

Luna got up with a cough and banged on the door of the room many times to make the concentration of the father and shaman was disturbed.

" There's one way you can get rich quick, son." said the shaman suddenly.

" What way is the Cake...?" ask Luna's father enthusiastically.

" Toss your son right now.." said the shaman quickly with shiny eyes.

Luna's father looked pensive for a moment and nodded his head in a sign confirming the shaman's words.

" Yes, I agree...!" sahut Luna's father loudly to surprise the shaman as well as Rex.

" Think carefully because after this you won't be able to pull it again. Free to regret because all will not come back," said the shaman reminded.

" Yes the Cake. I am tired of living hard. Moreover, Luna also can not help me realize My wishes. Instead of continuing to be a prankster it is better to be a tumbal aja..," said Luna's father upset.

The shaman laughed then patted Luna's father's shoulder as if to give support. While Rex seemed to growl furiously knowing the evil intentions of the man before him.
