EX: A Story That Doesn't Come

Chapter.16 (Mishel's Desire)

Morning at the Hudson's. The whole family was gathering for breakfast in the dining room of the mansion. Mishel had just appeared and the Papa immediately called out to her with great enthusiasm.

"Come here!" call Johan Hudson.

Mishel walked leisurely, then sat down next to his older brother, Hendry.

Johan proffered a business magazine that had been read since, "Look at this, the man that Papa will match you is not a random person. He is a famous architect and also a property businessman."

Mishel who was currently applying jam to the bread, turned his head lazily. He really doesn't like being matched. But the feeling of laziness turned to enthusiasm, his eyes were rounded and mired in disbelief. His hand moved quickly, grabbing the magazine so that he could see it more clearly.

Adrian Wijaya's.

That's the name on the cover of the magazine that was emblazoned with a picture of a man who stole his attention yesterday. He doesn't still believe, if the man he's going to marry is the same man he helped in the hospital yesterday.

"Is this the guy at the dinner?" ask Mishel.

"Yes, you've met him, haven't you? Why ask again," said Mama Mishel.

Ahk, how could I know, who went to that dinner show Luna, Mishel's inner.

"L-yes, I slightly forgot his face," said Mishel then eating his bread.

"Indeed you really like the man, if only you had to better Mama and Papa not force Mishel," said Hendri suddenly.

"Your sister is twenty-eight years old, what is she lacking? Bebet seedlings are weighted, all clear," said Johan with emphasis.

Mishel smiled to herself at the photo on the cover of the magazine, if she obeyed her parents from the beginning. Perhaps he will not pass through the hot night and lose his chastity, due to the actions of a foreign man who after that night disappeared without a trace.

"I don't mind" said Mishel suddenly, making Mama, Papa and Hendri look at him.

"This is what Papa wants from you. Take it easy Papa make sure he will accept this matchmaking, haha," Johan said as he patted Mishel's shoulder slowly.

Hendri watched his sister. Somehow he was worried that the man who would be paired with Mishel did not agree with this matchmaking. Because he knows his brother's character. When Mishel likes something, she will do anything to get it.

"Hen, what's so dumb?" mama asked while patting Hendri's shoulder.

"Oh it's okay Ma" he replied.

"When you're all alone, are you ready to get married again?" ask Johan to his son.

"Hendry?" call Mama.

"Yes Ma?" saith.

"Think of you ... How's luna?"

Deg.

Hendri suddenly jolted when he heard that name. He recalled meeting Luna again, "What do you mean by Mama?"

"Hendri, your late wife and child must also want you to be happy and not continue to fall. Luna is a good and accomplished child even though she is from a simple family, we have also known her for a long time" Johan told his son.

"I agree if Brother is with Luna" said Mishel with a mouthful of food.

When the whole family is talking. Hendry is still tight-lipped. After recovering from depression, he slowly wanted to reopen himself. If indeed Luna was the answer, should she accept? But before that happens, he wants to approach and convince himself if his heart is ready to open again.

In a different place. Luna grumbled because last night was carried away by feelings, to vent her sadness in front of Adrian. Early in the morning her ex-husband had come to breakfast together in his apartment unit.

At this time he was just sitting at the dinner table, looking at Adrian who was cooking fried rice in his kitchen. She knew her ex-husband was trying to mend the relationship. But the older he gets, the more afraid of disappointment, the fear of all not as beautiful as imagined and also the shadow of Mishel's speech always haunts him.

After finishing with his fried rice, he approached Luna and sat down before her, "Let's eat, today you have to work right?"

"Adrian?" call Luna.

"Hm, why?" askalanya.

"Stop everything, don't be nice like this .. I don't want to waver, I'm not the luna I used to be. I am now a woman who is crazy about ambition and enthusiasm for the profession, many dreams that I want to pursue, everything you do now will only be in vain" Luna said in a weak tone of voice.

Adrian was glued for a moment. Although Luna's mouth has explained everything, Adrian's heart remains convinced that love is still there, "All I do now is not because I want to force you to start ... I just want to be around you like this, you don't have to answer and respond to my feelings right now, but don't ever limit me to meeting you."

Luna let out a long sigh, she could not say anything more. Adrian's eyes are now more mature than they used to be, but after nine years, the walls that confine them are still the same, even sturdier than before.
