Chapter 44: The Truth
"Every problem leads you to two choices, misery or maturity." - Moon-Luna
Arga walked ahead. They just got out of the police station. El took care of everything. Logically, after being released, Arga will say at least thank you even with a heavy heart. But now the child is even more ignorant of themselves by leaving them as good as possible.
"That's!" Luna pulled Arga's hand until her sister stopped. Arga turned his body lazy. He looked at his brother reluctantly while glaring. The boy acted as if he lost his memory, upsetting Luna.
"At least say thank you to El! He got you out!" Screeched Luna. He did not like Arga's attitude which was getting further and further away from the word straight.
"I didn't ask to be released."
PLAQUE.
A slap landed on Arga's cheek. Luna clenched her hands tightly. Talking to Arga makes him at the highest peak of emotions. How could his sister say that? Easily say that he'd better be in there? Did he ever think about his future?
Arga was still speechless looking at her brother who was already teary at this moment. Some of her heart was upset but others could not bear to see Luna crying.
"I can get you back there if you want..." El became the mediator between them.
"Sister....!" luna's protest was unwilling.
"Why do you love Luna?" ask El not to lose. "He doesn't even love himself. What are you trying so hard for?" cynical El.
Luna closed her mouth tightly. El's words won a landslide.
"He should immediately realize that life must accept reality. Can't your sister stop being childish?"
This time El's words made Arga's blood boil. He grabbed the emotion El shirt. "Elo never fidgets so I'm." he said restrained.
"I'll never fall in love with my own brother" El replies.
"Elo know what?" balas Arga's. "He's not a real child.. I heard it myself."
"You're wrong!" Arga's hand was brushed off violently. "Luna is your sister. Your mother gave birth to him. Even if your father is different. He's your stepbrother!"
Arga surprised. "Elo must be lying" he accused.
"Whatever...." El raised his hand fed up. He pulls Luna away, leaving Arga still covered in question marks.
"Sister.. I'm not a real child?" ask Luna carefully. Part of his heart refused to believe, but part of it seemed to have dragged him into that conclusion.
"Hm..." El nodded slowly.
"Who's my dad?" ask Luna. Maybe he wouldn't be this surprised if the news he received was that he had a stepmother. But if stepdad feels a little weird.
"Want to meet?" El asked back.
"Of course!" luna replied excitedly. He was very curious about that guy. What was his real father like?
"Will not regret it?" ask El again.
Luna was silent for a moment. "Shouldn't..." Stared El. "What's he---
"No, he's not a bad guy..."
Luna was silent again. "What's he---
"No, you don't know him."
Luna sneered annoyed at El's correct answer before she even asked. Not fun at all. NOT COOL.
"I don't know what you think, dear Luna..."
"God... Not very big brother, deh..." Intentionally Luna pinched El's stomach hard, but the man laughed happily and hugged her back.
"Sorry..." El kissed Luna's cheek at a glance. "You know? It's so much fun!" El stumped a smile.
"Reading your mind is easy. Brother lives a double-click, then all the contents will appear in an instant." Luna squinted in disbelief.
"Lied, right?" ask Luna. "Must lie..." He answered it himself.
"Lihisii.." ledeknya.

El took Luna with his left hand, bringing the woman into a hotel. After waiting a long time, this afternoon El gave a news that was either good or bad. Today he will meet his father. His real father. It was not that Luna did not like her stepfather, but of course she was curious about her real father.
Luna slowly stepped on the thick red carpet that covered the dining room floor. He rolled his eyes across the room. Not many, just a few. In his brain, he began to guess who his father was.
Possibly bald?
Luna looked at the old man with thin hair on part of his head. It's sad that this man turned out to be his father. If he could he wanted a little more handsome.
El still had not stopped, he guided Luna through a few more tables. Luna glanced again, she saw a potbellied man now. Is that his father? Can't you slim down a little bit?
A happy smile was imprinted on Luna's face as El passed by the fat man's desk earlier. Thank goodness it wasn't that person, her mind.
Luna was impatient, she stuck her head out trying to get a picture in front of El. El's large back blocked his visibility.
When he tried to look again, El stopped moving his legs. Now he was standing right in front of Luna. "Are you ready for Luna?" ask him again.
Luna steadied her heart. "Yes, brother..." He nodded small.
Feeling that Luna was ready, El walked again to a round table covered in white cloth. At the table was an old man. He stood up for a moment as El and Luna approached.
"Night.." said. Luna forgot to answer, she just stared at the man from top to bottom.
Not bald.
Not bloated.
Even handsome...
Is that guy really his father? Why is her appearance so charming? The man was wearing a light gray suit with a thin blue stripe across, barely visible from afar.
"Night..." El returned the greeting of the man because Luna had been stunned for quite a while while opening her mouth in disbelief. He nudged Luna's arm, warning her to wake up quickly.
"A-a-ah! Night..." Luna stuttered to give her greetings because she was not ready.
"Luna's night..." The man smiled kindly at Luna. A good man, he thought.
"Please sit..." He pointed to the chair beside El and Luna. El pulls out a chair for Luna and lets her sit first, she follows after.
"Luna, meet. This is Mr. Daniel.." the man reached out his hand, Luna replied. They shake for a moment.
"Hey, Luna..." Daniel tried to speak as calmly as possible. "I'm Daniel, your real father..."
"I'm so happy to have a beautiful daughter like you." That compliment made Luna blush.
"I almost felt it was a dream when your husband called me and asked to meet." Daniel looked at El with thanks.
"Your mother hasn't let me see you all this time. Even to see your face just can't." There was a slight sense of compassion in Luna's heart.
"I'm glad we can meet now..." Luna returned the man's smile, making Daniel smile wider because of it.
"I'm also happy to meet you." said Luna innocently.
"Can you call me papa?" tanyakanya. Luna nodded. "Papa also came with your sister. Please don't be surprised, papa hope you get along..."
Luna was shocked. SISTER?! she's gonna have another sister?
Before long, a familiar figure came and sat down next to his papa. "It's your sister..."
Luna glared up to her eyeballs as if to come out. How not, you will do the same thing as Luna when she knows her other sister is Alex, none other than her own friend.
"K-k-you.." show him trembling. Just be right!
For God, for,
I don't know why, but I feel like you love me so much. I've had four younger brothers and now you're adding one more...
But God, I don't want to be thankful. I can only apologize because it's too much for me. I think I'm going crazy with five sisters like them. I submitted a resignation....
