The Perfect Show Window

CHAPTER 14

At first Bryan did not expect much from Winda. Given that he only graduated from High School and only had a little experience in three-star hotels. But the girl's job was quite good and her behavior was also polite.

Even sometimes, he paid close attention to Bryan without being asked.

"Good!" bryan muttered.

A few days away is the holiday season, the hotel will be very busy for a while. If Winda could work well, it would be a help for Bryan this time around.

"The holidays will be coming soon, after this it will be busier!" bryan said, "Look for your health!"

"Good sir! You too!" sahut Winda polite. "Thank you for your attention!"

Winda was about to leave, but he turned around as if forgetting something.

"Sorry sir, can I ask you a question?!" ask Winda. "It's about personal matters, not work matters! If you don't mind..."

"Yes?!"

"Did you meet Luna often?!" tanya Winda hesitated.

"Today I have rarely met him!" bryan is honest. "Because the hotel is busy preparing for the holiday season this time. I couldn't see him!"

"Oh so... "Winda put on a sour face.

"What's up?!" bryan asked curiously, "Is there a problem?!"

"Because I went straight to work, I didn't get the chance to see Luna. I want to thank him for helping me get a job!" Said Winda plain.

"I think Luna will visit a lot, so I always carry around the gifts I want to give!" he said, "But apparently, he never showed up!"

"Oh that..." Bryan almost forgot that Winda was a schoolmate of Luna's, "There was a bit of a problem, so Luna couldn't come here anymore!"

"Can't visit again?!" Winda looks surprised, "What happened sir?!"

"That's a long time Bryan was silent, weighing whether he needed to tell the truth or not. But Winda is a friend of Luna, surely Winda also knows the terror that used to be experienced by Luna.

"Do you know Vicky?!" ask Bryan then.

Winda nodded. Vicky is a school delinquent. Although he behaved like a thug, but there are many women who adore him, because of his handsome face. Winda Included.

But Vicky never turned his gaze away from Luna. He even obsessed with Luna to do strange deeds that make him expelled from school.

"He's got Luna in the toilet downstairs!" bryan said later.

"Oh my God!!" pekik Winda's. "Is Luna okay?! It must be hard for him!"

"Luna was traumatized. That is why I cannot visit here until now! We used to date at the restaurant downstairs!" bryan said, remembering the good times when he could meet with Luna every day.

"I'm sorry sir! I didn't know and asked!" said Willa politely, "Vicky was so long ago! She must be obsessed with the woman who was being nice to her!"

After hearing the explanation from his grandson and seeing the development of the relationship between Bryan and Luna. Max intends to express his desire to marry Luna and Bryan.

Irwan who heard the happy news immediately greeted him with pleasure. But it was far different from the response of other members of the Bagaskara family.

"What?! No cake.. Don't joke!" Adrian rejected the statement of his grandfather, "It is too early to marry them both. They haven't been together for a year!"

Hearing Luna and Bryan dating alone has made him syock, his grandfather even stated he would marry them. No!! This is impossible!!

"What Ian said pa!" Darian joined the voice, "It's still too soon to marry Bryan and Luna!"

"Well, you think so!" Irwan relented, "In exchange, we'll betrothed them first!"

"Pa!!!" in unison Felicia, Darian and Adrian shouted.

"Pa, please slow down! Don't be rash!" Felicia said, "Wait a minute! Let them know each other first!"

"We better tie them up when their relationship is warm!!" Irwan.

Irwan no longer waited. Earlier as he followed the words of his children, the results he had got were very bad. He intends to do it his own way.

In ancient times when people made arranged marriages, they immediately married, after being equally suitable the first time they met. There were no periods of exploration or such an approach. They will get to know each other after legally being a husband and wife.

"There was no time, there was no time to know each other like that!" lamented Irwan, "If so, the marriage continues until the end of life! There's no such thing as blurring!!"

Felicia sighed, knowing that this was the case, it would be hard to win a debate with her stubborn father-in-law.

"Alright." said Felicia later, "But let us talk to Luna first!"

Meanwhile, Luna herself was waiting for her turn at the hospital. After the incident at the Brads Hotel, Luna routinely visited a psychiatrist to overcome her trauma.

"Good, you've been so much better than before!" said the young doctor. Her beautiful smiling face brightly looked at Luna. "The holiday you've been on is very helpful apparently!"

"Yes doc. I'm also happy to be more comfortable on my way out!" sahut Luna, "I also began to dare to go out on my own without being accompanied by family!"

"Yes, you don't have to be afraid anymore. He won't hurt you anymore!" said the doctor.

*****

Arion gasped in surprise when he realized the figure of the girl walking in front of him. Even without seeing her face, Arion could recognize that the girl was Luna.

Arion wanted to greet him and take him to lunch together, but he was too embarrassed to do so.

Over and over again he strengthened his heart and walked closer towards Luna, but every distance between them was further eroded. The dilation in his heart that was getting faster made him undo the intention.

'S*Al!!' he swore to himself. He was so upset, why was he so shy.

But it seems that fate is helping him, just as Arion is about to give up on his will. Luna who forgot something, turned around and accidentally bumped into Arion.

"Ah, forgive me!!" peeking Luna apologized, she was too panicked to see who she had hit.

While holding his head that feels pain, because of the clash earlier. He again apologized solemnly, "I'm really sorry!"

"Are you hurt?!" ask Arion worriedly. He spontaneously put away Luna's hand that was holding her forehead. Intended to check Luna's forehead which turned red.

Hearing a familiar voice, Luna looked up. He was shocked to see Arion's face in front of him.

"Y!! Sorry, I did not accidentally!" luna was nervous. "Are you hurt?! I hit the mas hard earlier!"

"It's okay." said Arion, "The one who hurt you! Your forehead is flushed!"

"No, it's okay!" Luna lowered her long bangs to cover the redness on her forehead.

Arion smiled at the funny behavior done by Luna.

Seeing Arion smile, Luna was shocked not to be dumbstruck.

'This guy can smile at me!' inner Luna. All this time he thought, Arion hates him. Because he was often cold to her. With the rest of Bradley's family, he looks friendly.

"You can smile, I think you hate me!" luna muttered. Unknowingly he revealed his heart.

"What?!" Arion asked, he faintly heard Luna mutter.

"I-it's.it's not anything mas!" peekik Luna shy.

"I never hated you!" then Arion.

"What?! What did she say?!" Luna's shocked. Didn't expect Arion to respond to his words.

"I've never hated you, why do you think that?!"
