“Sorry if I'm egosi. But believe me if we can try it, Luna.” said Lino back. He knew that it would be a waste if he revealed his current feelings. Therefore, he chose another way to convince Luna.
“I also apologize, Mr. Lino. But I still refuse. I am not ready to get married. At my current age, I just want to pursue my career.” said Luna firmly back. It's not that he doesn't want to try it but all the bad shadows about a marriage always haunt him.
“Is there no tolerance, Lun? Do you know that Mommy is very happy with the news? You know that Mommy loves you so much?” asked Lino again trying to talk more to Luna
so that he would open his heart and open himself, especially to Lino.
This time, Lino was very clueless about Luna. Usually, a woman will be very happy if she asks him to marry her. In fact, many girls offered to marry him. Luna is very different. This girl
even refused when Lino decided to marry him.
Lino was quite surprised because her closeness so far turned out to have no effect on the girl. Lino heard a lot about the closeness of a boss with his female secretary or his personal assistant. Even many of the bosses were married to their own secretaries. Love can come when you get used to it. However, this did not apply to Luna.
His closeness, even all the attention Lino gave, despite being only a small attention, but did not affect the girl. Even Luna did not view her closeness as a feigned lover either
lived all this time. Luna seemed to have a very high wall and fortified herself. And the wall was impenetrable to anyone, including Lino.
“I know that Mother loves me very much. And you also know that I also love Mother Nadia. In fact I also consider Mother Nadia more than my own mother.” said Luna
answer Lino's question. And this time Luna really answered him from her deepest little heart, where she felt the affection of Mother Nadia more than the affection that Rianti gave her.
“If you ask me if I can make you sad, I think you already know the answer. But I also have to think about my feelings. My own heart.” said Luna again gave an excuse to
Lino couldn't even reply to anything from Luna's words. Lino could only second-guess about Luna's own heart. Maybe someone has filled the void there. Or there could be an incurable scar there so that Luna could not open her heart back for another. Lino also didn't know for sure.
“We can try it, Lun. Open your heart, Lun. I'll take care of him. I promise I won't give you any hurt. And you can keep my promise.” said Lino back after being silent for quite a long time and gather all the words that can melt the heart of a woman.
Luna looked worried. He was afraid to give up his heart. Even his experience during this time with some men, made him sure that men just want to play with his feelings. Not even
rarely do men just want to profit from it, like Jordan for example.
“Give me your trust, Lun. I will keep trying to melt your heart. But please open the bastion of your heart. Let me enter it and give light there.” said Lino back because it did not get any response from the girl next to him. And Lino was convinced that Luna was thinking about every word that came out of her mouth.
“Be assured to me, Lun. We've been working together long enough. You also know how I hold onto my every word and promise. You also know how I run the technique that I have made.” said Lino back.
Luna continued to remain silent. He thought about every word the man next to him said. I want to believe every word of it. But the bad memory man, who saw his parents hurt each other, made him close the fort.
And Lino who still did not get an answer from Luna decided to run her car again. Maybe next time he'll try it again. Or maybe he will ask for help from Madam Nadia
or someone else to talk to Luna, and convince Luna.
