Aluna enjoyed the breeze coming in and out of the window of her room.
His mind was ringing with his memories with Axel.
Remembering all that only made him miss Axel even more.
What is Axel doing right now?
Does Axel still work at the cafe?
And one question flashed through Aluna's mind.
Does Axel still love him?
After what he did, did Axel still have the same feelings as him?
Or even Axel hated it so much.
Yeah, it's only natural that Axel hates him.
He left her, without saying anything.
Even he had not had time to ask news of Axel due to Russell's treatment on that day.
Aluna shed her tears.
He still could not step onto the new sheet of life.
Maybe it will never be.
Because Axel is a part of him.
Aluna was unaware of Ariana's presence there.
Ariana looked at the dreamy Aluna.
A habit that the girl often does.
If so, Aluna must be thinking about Axel.
Ariana knows Aluna well.
3 Years together have made him know anything about Aluna.
Including the feelings of Aluna who still loves Axel very much.
Ariana then approached Aluna.
"Airina.."
Aluna looked at Ariana who was nearby.
Ariana chuckled amusedly at Aluna's response.
"You're funny when you're surprised like that."
Aluna just smiled faintly.
"Isn't it a holiday today?
Aren't you bored of Aluna?
How about we go for a walk today?"
"Hem, right now I don't want to go Ariana.
I just want to be home."
"Come Ariana.
I want you to accompany me to the mall to buy something important."
"But Ariana..."
"I beg you to accompany me Aluna.
If you want to keep me company, I'll buy you your favorite ice cream.
Hows it? You must be interested, right?"
Aluna still did not answer.
Ariana then put on a clear face that was able to make Aluna did not have the heart to reject it.
"All right, I'll keep you company."
It instantly changed the look of Ariana's face to sparkle.
"really?"
Aluna nodded her head.
Ariana immediately hugged Aluna's body tightly.
"Thank you Aluna."
Aluna smiled in her arms.
Actually Ariana took Aluna away intending to entertain the girl.
He did not want Aluna to dissolve in her grief. Ariana always tried to entertain and please Aluna.
Starting from taking her out for a walk, watching movies together at home, telling her silly things, and much more.
Because for him Aluna is not only a friend, but also his family.
Aluna has been helping him so much.
--
Axel again receives a message from Vallie.
After yesterday coming to his office, now the girl asked him to accompany her shopping for clothes.
Axel left his job and then walked out of his room.
"Where are you going Axe?" james said when he met Axel.
"I'm going to see Vallie."
"After yesterday Vallie came here to see you, she missed you again, huh?"
"She just wanted me to go shopping with her."
"Alright Axe. Enjoy your relationship."
Axel looked at James with a sharp look.
James said that again.
"Sister Sister I mean Axe.
You don't have to look at me like that."
"I'll hit you if you say that again."
James chuckled amusedly at Axel's reaction.
"alright.
Now leave.
If you're late, Vallie's gonna nag you."
"I'm leaving.
If there's anything, call me immediately."
James nodded his head.
Axe then went to the elevator.
Aluna and Ariana are on their way to the mall.
Aluna looked out the window.
He really enjoyed the view of the passing vehicle.
"Are you okay Aluna?"
Aluna looked to the side.
"Yes, I'm fine Ariana."
Ariana smiled.
"It looks like there's going to be a traffic jam."
Aluna looked ahead.
Indeed, the vehicle is very dense so that it causes congestion.
"It looks like it's going to take a while" Ariana said.
After a few minutes of waiting, the vehicle slowly began to run even if only briefly.
"Are you thirsty Aluna?
I'm so thirsty. The weather is very hot."
Aluna nodded her head.
"Yes, so am I."
"Want me to buy you a drink at that stall?"
Ariana pointed at the small stall that was in front of them.
"You sure?"
"Calm Aluna. I'm just going away for a second.
Some of it is very close to us."
"All right, Ariana."
"You wait here.
I'll be back."
Aluna nodded her head.
Ariana then got out of the car and walked towards the stall.
Aluna looked towards Ariana who had arrived at the stall.
He smiles.
Aluna then turned her gaze to the side.
Instantly his eyes blocked seeing the scene in front of him.
Aluna blinked both eyes.
Hope this isn't just a fantasy.
Aluna's eyes slowly glazed over.
His heart also instantly beat fast.
The man she had longed for was actually in the car.
Axel opened the windshield of his car, allowing Aluna to recognize his face.
"Sister Axel.."
Aluna opened the car door.
He didn't want to miss the chance to meet Axel.
He has to meet her.
It did not undo Aluna's intentions.
He moved his feet quickly.
His eyes looked around the road.
The sun's extremely hot conditions do not affect it at all.
"Sister Axel...
Where are you, brother?"
"Aluna.."
Ariana saw Aluna who was running like chasing something.
Without thinking for a long time, he immediately approached Aluna.
"Aluna, what are you doing here?
Let's get in the car."
Aluna was completely oblivious to it.
"Aluna, everyone's waiting for us.."
And sure enough, a horn sounded from the back of their car.
"I don't want to go back Ariana.
I have to meet him."
Aluna releases Ariana's hand and then looks for Axel again.
Ariana decided to go back to running the car.
He could not ignore the anger of the drivers.
Ariana then parked the car in front of a store that was not far from there.
After that, Ariana got out of the car and approached Aluna.
Aluna sat at the bus stop with her face bent.
There is sadness there.
"Aluna...
Are you all right?"
Ariana was worried.
"Aluna answered me.
Who are you looking for, hem?"
"I saw Ariana.
I saw Brother Axel earlier."
"Sister Axel?"
Aluna shed her tears again.
"I saw him.
But I foolishly let him go.
L'm... "
"Aluna relax.
Your condition doesn't seem okay.
Now we better go to the apartment.
We'll talk about it over there, huh?"
Returning home is not the right choice because Ariana does not want Alda to harass Aluna anymore.
He knows how Alda is.
Alda was so impressed to interfere with Aluna's life that he forgot his duties as a mother.
Aluna slowly nodded her head and then followed in Ariana's footsteps.
After a while later, they finally arrived at the apartment that they had lived in for 3 years.
If anything happens, they will go there.
Like if there's anything they need to talk about together but don't want anyone else to know.
"Let's rest for a while, Aluna."
Ariana then covers Aluna's body.
After making sure Aluna was asleep, Ariana went to the kitchen.
He would cook food for them.
--
Aluna slowly opened her eyes.
He looked towards the wall clock that showed at 5pm.
He slept for 3 hours.
Aluna then came out of her room.
He saw Ariana watching his favorite cartoon.
The girl laughed again.
Aluna smiled and walked over to Ariana.
Ariana noticed the presence of Aluna sitting next to her.
"Are you awake?"
"You didn't wake me.
I slept for a very long time, you know."
Ariana chuckled at Aluna's scolding.
"I just don't want to bother you, Aluna.
You slept really well earlier.
Aluna smiled.
His best friend loved him so much.
"By the way, what you said to me last afternoon is true?
You seen Axel's sister?"
"Yes Ariana.
I saw him in that car."
"Are you sure?
I mean, are you sure it's really Axel's sister?"
The look on Aluna's face instantly changed considering that Axel had disappeared so quickly.
Is that just his fantasy?
"Come Ariana.
It was just that everything was very real at that moment.
I recognized his face so well, I couldn't possibly have been wrong.
At that time I got out of the car, but he just disappeared.
I'm looking for him again, but I can't find him."
Ariana gently stroked Aluna's shoulder.
"I wish she was really Axel's sister."
"I hope so too Aluna.
If she is Axel's sister, you should meet her and tell Axel's sister everything."
"Can I see him again?"
"Of course Aluna.
If God wants you to meet, nothing can stand in his way."
Aluna smiled at Ariana.
"That way, you'll get back together.
Like the couple in my favorite cartoon, which ends with a happy ending.
Aluna laughed loudly.
How can Ariana equate her love story with a cartoon?
Ariana had a pouty face.
"You're laughing at me, aren't you?"
"You're so funny Ariana."
"really?"
Ariana draws closer to Aluna, intending to tickle her.
"alright.
Now laugh at it all."
Ariana started researching Aluna.
"Armn Ariana.
I'm sorry."
"No, I won't spare you beautiful Miss."
Aluna could no longer hold it.
He then ran away from Ariana.
Ariana did not give up.
He chased after Aluna who avoided him.
Aluna and Ariana really enjoyed such a moment.
What they often do when one of them is sad.
3 Years makes them grow like Brother and Sister even though they have the same age.
Alda is even confused by Aluna who is more open with Ariana compared to her who is her own biological mother.
He had intended to separate the two, but to no avail.
Aluna and Ariana have an understanding of each other.
Seriate...
