Vincent's words were still ringing in Luna's ears. Makes her panic confused and agitated. Luna did not know how Zian would respond, lest he think nothing of her.
The sound of footsteps of the person who came slightly grabbed his attention. Then Luna turned to find the mother entering her room. Madam Xia was confused to see Luna's resigned face, then the woman approached her.
"Darling, what's wrong?" Madam Xia looked at Luna in confusion.
Luna returned her mother's gaze, and looked at her seriously. "Ma, you better be honest what's the reason Papa asked Zian to come? Didn't I have already explained to the two of you, if in fact the two of us have nothing to do," Luna tried to make her mother tell her the truth, although he actually already knew the reason his father had invited Zian to come.
But Lady Xia chose to remain silent. She had promised her husband not to tell Luna why they had invited Zian to come. Because Mr. Xia was afraid that Luna would mess it up.
"Later you will also know for yourself, you should now help Mama prepare dinner," the mother of two children asked.
Luna breathed. "Mama, do it yourself. And when did any of us become such a secret? If his arrival has anything to do with me, then I'm entitled to know. But if Mama doesn't want to tell me, I'd better just go home" said Luna and left.
"Luna, wait," Madam Xia exclaimed and stopped Luna's steps. Then the woman approached him. "Well Mama will tell you, but don't say anything to your Papa. Because he forbade both of us to say anything about him wanting to meet Zian" he said.
"Now Mama say, and don't make me curious." Pinta Luna.
Then the woman grabbed Luna's right hand and grabbed it. Madam Xia let out a long sigh.
"Luna, we're getting older, and you're getting older. It's about time you had a life partner, who could look after and protect you. To Mama and Papa, you're still our adorable little princess."
"But after all, you can't live alone, needing someone as your place to lean on. For that, papa wants to meet with Zian, because he thinks he is the only man who deserves you the most." Xia said at length.
The girl fell silent after hearing what her mother said. There was nothing wrong with the intent and purpose of the two of them, but the problem was whether Zian would agree with his father's request. Moreover, uniting two hearts that are not connected to each other is not something that is easy.
Luna took a long breath. "But does he want to? While he and I have nothing to do, let alone think we'll be together, imagine if he'll love me alone never. So don't expect anything from your plan." Luna.
Madam Xia nodded. "Yes, we know. But there is no harm in trying it first. Who knows Zian will agree and want to marry you, wouldn't that be better. Believe, Luna. What we do is the same and Papa cares about you a lot, we think about your future, and we also hope you are in the hands of the right man" Xia said.
Yes, all they do is solely for the happiness of Luna, because nothing is more important to them both than the happiness of her daughter. Since every parent wants happiness for his sons and daughters, Madam and Mr. Xia are one of them.
"Zian, you've come, sit down." the call distracts the mother and child. Lady Xia and Luna exchanged glances, then the two of them together left the kitchen.
After the departure of Luna and her mother, in the living room left only Zian and Mr. Xia. As silence enveloped the two of them together, there was no chatter between the two. Mister Xia and Zian were both silent in silence.
Because no words came out of those middle-aged lips, it was Zian who finally took the initiative to start a conversation. "Uncle, what is it you want to see me for?" ask around without much ado, because he is the one to the point.
"Alright, Uncle will go straight. Zian, marry, Luna, "please ask Mr. Xia to the point. He doesn't even talk at all.
Zian squinted his eyes and looked at the middle-aged man questioningly. "What does Uncle mean?" Zian asked. He needed an explanation from Luna's father's words.
"I mean Uncle very clearly, Zian. Uncle wants you to marry, Luna. Uncle, you know that you and Luna have nothing to do, much less special. But Zian, love can come with time. Uncle and Aunt are getting older, Vincent has a life of his own, so he can't always protect his brother."
"While we want someone to protect and protect, Luna. And according to Uncle you're the one person who's the best for him. Uncle, don't expect you to love him, but we just want him to have a backrest and there's also someone who can look after him. But Uncle won't force you, you can think about it first" said Mr. Xia.
Zian was silent for a moment. He was confused as to how to answer. He had a lot of considerations, let alone this was a matter of marriage. It is easy to get married, which is the question of whether he and Luna are able to live it. Because uniting two hearts of people who do not love each other is not an easy matter.
"Sorry, Uncle. I'll think about it first, and for now I can't give any answers, so give me a little time to think about it" Zian pinta said.
Master Xia nodded. "There's no need to rush, you can think about it first and Uncle will give you time. And please don't be burdened by this Uncle's request, huh. Let alone changing your likpu to Luna, she doesn't know anything, even Uncle keeps secret the reason why invite you to meet."
Zian gave no response. Then his gaze rolled on Luna who was busy preparing the food on the table. Although there was a desire in his heart to always protect him, but Zian was self-conscious if he was just a delinquent who had no future.
"Evening is ready. Zian, you better come with us for dinner together. Coincidentally Luna and her mother cooked a lot tonight." Said Mr. Xia.
Zian nodded his head. "Good, Uncle."
