TRAPPED IN THE NOVEL WORLD

243

Aluna remembers that Luna has a diary. Unfortunately, he could no longer remember where the book was. Last time he read it was in bed with Alvin a few weeks ago.

"That daily book, I have to find it. I'm sure there's a clue in the book" muttered Aluna.

It's getting late, soon Alvin will be home from work. Just then after finishing bathing Zero, Aluna rushed to Luna's former room to search for the book.

"Something like mama's looking for something?" ask Zero suddenly. He looked at Aluna's eyes that looked dull.

"Yes, my mom is looking for a book. Ze, you played here for a while, yeah! Mama will go for a while to the next room," replied Aluna.

Zero nodded, and continued to make a miniature of the building he had been staying in before taking a shower.

While in the next room, exactly three rooms away from Zero's room. Aluna rushed in and walked into the closet.

"Where is the book? I sure put it here," muttered Aluna again.

In the closet look some clothes belonging to Luna hanging. There was nothing but the clothes, except for a few leftover pads that Luna had not used.

A few minutes looking for the fact that he had not been able to find. Aluna ransacked the bed. Opening drawers and curtains, looking in every corner of the room until the bathroom did not escape its reach.

"Where is the book? What's left in Dad's house? I have to find the waiter who cleaned this room" muttered Aluna.

That room Aluna left a long time ago, it's possible that the waiter who cleaned the room found her. If so, he would have to find the waiter by now.

"Servant An," called Aluna to a servant, coincidentally the servant was not far from the room.

"Well, Madam. Can I help you?" The waiter asked.

Aluna approached the waiter and whispered softly. "Did Aunt clean that room?" tanyanya pointed at Luna's room.

Waiter An nodded, he again asked what Aluna needed now.

"Did you find a book in that room?" Aluna asked again.

Waiter An's forehead wrinkled, he recalled again the moment he last cleaned the room. Then waiter An, asked permission to take something.

"Young lady, there's something I found in that room. But not a book, just a few pieces of paper in an envelope. And another one ...." Waiter An stopped his words.

Aluna was silent for a moment observing the expression of An's next servant. "One more what, Auntie?"

Waiter An exhaled a little heavily, "Miss, wait here for a while I take that thing first."

Then An's servant left Aluna alone in the hallway. Aluna was still wondering, actually what objects the old woman found until the look of her face looks different.

Five minutes away, Aluna decided to look for a moment at Zero in her room. Aluna saw Zero still composing one beam at a time, forming miniatures of several buildings and arranging them to form a small town.

The arrangement is very detailed. Zero even painted on a wooden plank, like a paved highway. There were small cars placed on it like a real road. In order to impress naturally, Zero put some human-shaped miniatures in every corner, like people who are doing activities.

"I want to create a small town that I saw along the way, Mama. But ... There's no rest of the beam anymore, and I haven't finished it yet. Though I promised to finish it before papa came," replied Zero.

Aluna observed every detail of the small buildings Zero made. Yes, the arrangement stopped because there were no more small blocks left.

"It's almost done" said Aluna, still observing its shortcomings. According to Aluna, Zero's artificial city is finished, but not according to Zero.

Zero seemed silent for a moment to see the results of his work that had not been finished. Of the many toys that Alma's grandmother bought, only the toys that make him curious. From simple wooden blocks and some other toys, he wanted to make a work that seemed luxurious. Make a small town of his dreams.

"There is no playground or football field. The park and the park are a fun place. In that place I can make new friends, play ball, and do other games like in the village where Sindi is," Zero said a little moody.

Aluna finally understood. Aluna doesn't know about art and architecture, she's just helping out from earlier this afternoon. Aluna thinks Zero will only make a small building, in fact she is expanding her imagination to build a dream city in her room.

"You're great, you can definitely finish it later. Now what do you need again to finish it? Mama's gonna tell papa to buy it?" ask Aluna.

"I've never seen a playground. So I can't imagine it yet, Mama," Zero replied.

"Then what else? Mama's gonna buy me another little block. Mama will also take you later around the city and see the playground," said Aluna.

Zero shakes. He did not want to disappoint his two parents with a lot of requests. He just wants to see a park, play there and imagine wanting to make miniatures.

"Are there no more?"

Zero nodded back.

"Now it's starting night. While waiting for papa to come home, we rest first, yuk? Tomorrow Ze has started school, mama has found a new school for you" said Aluna.

"Waaah, thank you, Mama. I'm so happy for sure I'm going to have a lot of new friends again" Zero said.

"Well, mama's gonna pick you up tomorrow. After you get home, Mama's gonna take you to a playground."

Zero returned with excitement. She hasn't been to school for a long time, and wants to meet her new friends tomorrow. He was also happy because Aluna wanted to take him to a playground.

At the same time, the system necklace blinked and Zero saw it. Zero observed the color change in Aluna's necklace.

"Look at Mama, the necklace is on." Zero was startled while holding the pendulum in Aluna's necklace.

Aluna was surprised not to let Zero hear the system's speech. If he could see the sensors in the necklace, he might even be able to hear the system's speech. Hurriedly put the necklace again into his clothes until it was invisible to Zero. "Mama went to the toilet for a while. Wait a minute here, Ze," said Aluna half-run to the toilet.

Zero nodded. Still curious he looked at his mother's back that was getting away. In his heart, he seemed to have seen the jade pendulum in his mother's necklace. Well, the jade was emitting a red glow, but Zero forgot to ever see where.

Inside the bathroom Aluna directly patted the system necklace.

[Miss Aluna, your mission to be Alvin's secretary is not over yet. Tomorrow, you have to get back to work.]
