( Morning ) At Tessa's home
Tessa: (at home, not feeling well) Oh no! I think I have a fever... Ahh! (sneezes) Maybe it's because I was crying last night... (sneezes again) Ugh!
Tessa manages to grab her phone and dial Luna's number.
Luna: (answers) Hey, Tessa! I'm on my way to college on the train. What's up?
Tessa: Luna... I'm not feeling well. Can you please inform the college about my absence?
Luna: Oh my god! What happened?
Tessa: I'll tell you when I get to college, Luna... (sneezes)
Luna: Okay, okay! Take care Tessa. (concerned) Tessa, do you want me to come over and take care of you? I can get off the train at the next stop.
Tessa: (weakly) No, Luna... I'll be fine. And can you ask Mila to bring my notes from Today's class?
Luna: (reassuringly) Of course, Feel better soon, Tessa! Do you have any medicine or do you want me to bring some over?
Tessa: (gratefully) Thanks, Luna... I have some medicine here. Just take care of the college stuff, okay?
Luna: (supportively) Okay, don't worry about anything. Rest and recover.
(Tessa hangs up the phone and lies down, feeling miserable)
Tessa's mom: (entering the room) Aren't you going to college?
Tessa: (weakly) I'm not feeling well, mom...
Tessa's mom: (sighing)
(exits the room without checking on Tessa)
Tessa: (smiling painfully) Yeah, that's exactly how I knew you'd react, mom...
(lies back down, feeling a mix of physical and emotional pain)
At Rafael's Mansion
Nick: Raf, how are your injuries? ( while entering his room )
Raf: Hmm, I applied some painkiller ointment. ( while wearing his tshirt without sleeves to avoid touching the injured area in his hands )
Nick: What? You didn't even do your first aid?
Raf: No.
Nick: (glaring at him )
Raf turned around and saw Nick glaring at him
Raf : What ??
Nick is still glaring
Raf : Yah ! How dare you glare at your boss ? Huh ?
He is still glaring with folded hands..
Raf took the first aid box and came near Nick and handed the box to Nick in an innocent way without looking at Nick
Raf: ( showing him his hands, cutely )" Do it" (He sits down next to Nick with a little fear on his face, as Nick is still visibly upset)
Nick: (finishing the bandaging) There, all done. Take care, Raf.
Raf: (still gazing at his bandaged hands, touching the bandages as if admiring the care and attention he lost before a decade )
Nick: (noticing Raf's gaze) Raf, Raf... (getting his attention)
Raf: (looking up) Hmm?
Nick: That girl, Luna, called me last night.
Raf: (confused) Luna? Who's that?
Nick: She's the daughter of the man who was left in a coma by Alex and Jake.
Raf: (trying to remember) Oh... I think I remember now. What did she want?
Nick: She just wanted to know why we're helping her.
Raf: Oh? What did you tell her?
Nick: (shrugged his shoulder ) I didn't picked her call.. I was on a meeting with our fund dealer.
Raf nodded his head.
Raf : But , How the hell you know her number ? That she is Luna
Nick : ( chuckled ) Whenever we collect information about someone we do get each and every details of them
Raf nodded his head seriously.
AT college
Mila looked visibly tense, noticing that both Tessa and Luna were absent. Biting her nails.
Teacher: (taking attendance) "Luna?"
Mila: (responding) Absent, ma'am.
Just then, a voice called out from outside the classroom, followed by the sound of rushing footsteps and heavy breathing. Yes its luna
Luna : Present mam ( breathing heavily )
Teacher: (exasperated) Ah, finally! Always late... Get in!
Luna hurried in, bowed apologetically to the teacher, and smiled at Mila as she made her way to their bench.
Mila smiled widely in response.
Luna: (whispering) You look tense?
Mila: (whispering back) Very tense.
(Mila glances at Tessa's empty seat)
Mila: (concerned) Hey, have you heard from Tessa? She's not here yet.
Luna: (knowingly) Actually, I talked to her earlier. She's not coming to college today. She has a fever.
Mila: (worried) Oh no, poor Tessa! I hope she feels better soon.
Luna: (agreeing) Yeah, me too. Let's catch up with her later and see how she's doing.
(The two friends continue their conversation,and then focusing on classes )
Luna felt a strange sensation, as if someone was gazing at her.
She turned around, scanning the classroom, but everyone seemed engrossed in the lesson.
She shrugged it off, thinking it was just her imagination.
But there, A Book being removed from in front of a face, revealing Harry's smile as he looked at luna who is listening to the class peacefully.
Meanwhile, another student in the classroom was searching for someone. He glanced around, but the person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.
He whispered to his neighbor, "Have you seen Tessa? She's not here today."
His neighbor shook his head, "No, I haven't seen her. Maybe she's absent?"
He looked concerned, wondering where Tessa could be.
After college hours.
Luna was restocking shelves at her part-time job when she informed the owner,
Luna : "Tessa won't be coming in today, sir."
Owner: "Yes, her mother called me earlier. She said Tessa won't be continuing her part-time job here. She needs to focus on her studies."
Luna's eyes widened in shock, but she quickly composed herself and bowed
Luna : "Oh, okay sir."
She returned to her work, trying to process the unexpected news.
As she was arranging items on a shelf, a male voice suddenly spoke from behind her.
??? : "Hey, Luna. How's it going?"
