Axel came out of his room.
He looked towards Aluna's room.
The girl had not yet come out of her room.
Axel thought Aluna needed time to calm herself down.
While Aluna was standing in front of the window of her room, looking at the sky that was slowly turning into twilight.
The wind hit Aluna's face.
Suddenly, Aluna's feelings change for the better than before.
Aluna put her warm clothes together.
Although the wind turned cold, he still wanted to linger there.
Aluna took a deep breath and then exhaled.
He smiled at the beautiful sky.
Suddenly the phone rings.
Aluna saw the name "Ariana" on her phone screen.
He immediately answered the call.
"Hello Ariana's.."
"Hello Aluna's..
Your voice sounds different.
Are you all right?
Did something bad happen to you?
What did Axel do?
Tell me Aluna."
Aluna chuckled at Ariana's question.
Aluna then remembered the incident that happened to her yesterday.
Does he need to tell Ariana about it?
No, he won't tell Ariana.
He did not want to make Ariana sad and increasingly worried about him.
"I'm fine Ariana.
I'm just a little unwell from overwork.
You don't have to worry, hem?"
"Thank God.
But even so, you must remain vigilant.
Let me know as soon as something happens."
"alright.
I'm worried about you too.
Have you been eating regularly since I left?"
"Yes, I remember my promise Aluna.
I never miss it."
"That's a really good thing Ariana.
I hope you take care of your health too."
"Just calm.
I'll be fine Aluna."
"Daddy.."
After a long chat, Aluna closed her call.
Ariana again saw the laptop she had connected to the camera on Aluna's suitcase and bag.
But the camera was cut off so he could not monitor the state of Aluna anymore.
The camera accidentally fell.
Ariana took a deep breath.
Axel held two surveillance cameras in his hands.
One came from his suitcase and the other he got from Aluna's bag.
He knew it was James and Ariana.
They intend to stalk him and Aluna.
No, rather they did it because they were afraid he was doing something bad to Aluna.
But since when did James get in touch with Ariana?
Axe then chuckled amusedly.
Maybe they could do something like that.
Really ridiculous!
--
The next day, Aluna woke up early.
He took a shower and immediately got dressed.
This morning he was planning to go somewhere.
A place he had planned to visit with Ariana.
But it is always delayed by work.
And today he will go there to calm himself.
It'll be so much fun.
Aluna finished polishing her face.
He did not forget to put a scarf around his neck.
Lately the weather is so cold that he has to wear thick warm clothes.
Aluna put up her shoes.
Aluna carried her bag and then walked out of the room.
He looked at Axel's room.
Since the incident that night, it seems he can not burden Axel anymore.
Axel saved himself.
And that was enough for him.
He did not want to enter Axel's life so that made the man suffer even more.
Even though his feelings remain the same.
After reaching the bottom, Aluna immediately entered the taxi that was waiting for her in front of the hotel.
Aluna smiled as she reached the bus terminal.
He will use the bus to go to his destination.
After paying, Aluna gets into the bus that will take her.
Axel came out of his room.
His eyes caught Aluna's room open.
He immediately approached the room.
But before he got in, someone got out of there.
"Good Morning Sir."
"Wheel?"
"Miss Aluna is out sir.
So I cleaned the room before Miss Aluna came back."
"Do you know where he went?"
"I don't know Sir.
From the clothes that Miss Aluna wears, it seems she didn't leave for a while sir."
Axel ruffled waist.
Where the hell is he going?
Last night he thought about Aluna's situation, and now the girl left alone without telling him.
"Thank you."
"Sir." call the hotel employee.
Axel turned his body.
"Yesterday Miss Aluna asked me about the scheduled bus departure to Skagit Valley.
I'm sure Miss Aluna went there to visit the tulip festival."
"alright. Thanks for the information."
Axel immediately took the jacket and car keys from his room.
Then he got into the elevator.
After arriving at the parking lot, Axel got into his car.
He drove his car to Skagit Valley.
It took me a few hours to reach Skagit Valley.
Its main feature is the Skagit River, which penetrates the local community which includes the central Skagit region, Mount Vernon, as well as Sedro-Woolley, Beton, Lyman-Hamilton, and Burlington.
One of the highlights, Skagit Valley has tulip fields that are so beautiful.
Skagit Valley is surrounded by a cold maritime climate that provides winter cold (but not freezing) and gradually transitions to warm spring and then moderate summer.
The gradual transition is key to the advantages of why Skagit Valley has some of the best tulips in the world.
Aluna got off the bus.
He was so impressed by the sight before him.
Tulips are lined so beautifully with stunning colors.
Indeed, he came at the right time when the tulips had grown big.
Aluna immediately took some photos using her camera phone.
"Very beautiful.."
Aluna smiled looking around.
The place was so crowded with visitors.
Yeah, of course you are.
Because besides being beautiful, Skagit Valley also has a very cool air.
Aluna then walked around the tulip fields.
So delightful.
I think he wants to live there.
Axel saw the route to Skagit Valley.
He'll be there soon.
A short while later, Axel had reached Skagit Valley.
He then parked his car.
Axel put on his jacket and got out of the car.
He then walked to the entrance.
As he entered, his eyes were presented with such a beautiful sight.
There were a lot of people who came to that place.
Axel then looked around, trying to find Aluna.
Although it may be difficult, he will try to find the girl.
Axel walked around the destination with his eyes looking around.
"Where are you, Aluna?"
Axel took his phone out of his pocket.
"Damn!"
There is no network there.
He would not be able to contact Aluna.
Axel resumes his search.
Aluna smiled as she smelled the red tulip, her favorite.
With a crouching position, he touched every part of the flower.
Aluna then stood up and went back around the place.
Aluna took a lot of photos.
Again, he was so impressed with the results.
"It turns out you're here apparently."
Aluna stopped her activities for a moment.
He knows that voice so well.
Then he turned his body.
His eyes caught Axel walking towards him.
Aluna frowned.
How could Axel be there too?
"I've been looking for you everywhere.
It turns out you're here."
"Did you follow me here?"
Axel put his hand in his pocket.
"You went alone without my knowledge.
If you tell me first, I won't follow you like this."
Axel's lying.
Actually the reason for going to that place was because he was worried about Aluna.
Even he would still leave even though Aluna told him earlier.
He didn't want anything to happen to Aluna.
Is Axel worried about him?
Ask Aluna in my heart.
Even if he doesn't tell Axel about his departure, it shouldn't affect the man.
Axel could see so many questions on Aluna's face.
The girl must still be wondering what was the reason for following him to that place.
"I think this place is really beautiful."
axel tried to divert the conversation.
Axel then walked away leaving Aluna still standing in her place.
Axel turned his body.
"Come here.
Time's too short if you just stand there."
Aluna slowly moved her legs after Axel.
Axel narrowed his steps so that he and Aluna walked side by side.
Every now and then their gaze met and not long after that they turned their gaze in the other direction.
Aluna saw some people get on the bus.
Axel followed Aluan's direction of view.
"You go in there too?
The bus will take visitors to Mount Vernon."
Aluna slowly nodded her head.
"Well let's get on that bus."
Axel and Aluna then get into the bus.
Unexpectedly, the bus was full.
There are no seats left.
That made Axel and Aluna have to stand while holding the handrails of the bus.
In the midst of crammed conditions, Aluna had to stand a distance so close to Axel.
Aluna raised her right hand.
The handle of the bus was too high that made it difficult for Aluna to reach it.
This made Aluna afraid of falling.
He's trying to find a handle.
But nothing at all.
The bus started to go fast.
Aluna tried to hold her body so as not to drift to the side.
But he couldn't dodge it.
His body was dazed to the left side, almost hitting a man standing beside him.
Fortunately Axel caught his body.
Their eyes meet each other.
Unexpectedly, Axel hugged his body more and more, faced with him.
Aluna is currently in Axel's arms with her face facing the man's chest.
Aluna slowly moved, intending to let go of Axel's embrace. But the man tightened his embrace.
He could do nothing but silence.
And Axel's embrace also made him not limp anymore.
Axel hugged Aluna's body tightly.
He tries to keep Aluna's body away from the man who is currently behind Aluna.
If he had not caught Aluna's body in time, Aluna would have fallen into the man's arms.
And of course, he would not let that happen.
The man couldn't touch Aluna the slightest thing!
