Chapter 18

" Narcissist," Luna whispered then quickly walked forward

Mira watch Luna walked faster with red face, she giggled secretly then slowly follow Luna as she pay attention to Luna's steps because the person herself was obviously not paying attention to the pathways.

Luna calm down after a moment, she paused in front of the door then she look back at Mira

" Why are you walking so slow?"

" Beauty is meant to be appreciated," Mira answered

Luna look around then she nodded," Yeah, it's really beautiful here." she's actually curious how the place looks so empty as if they're the only people here when the place was popular especially among the wealthy people who wants to relax

Mira look at Luna for a moment then she gently opened the door and invited Luna inside. Luna went in and immediately saw a table with dishes while a guqin is being played but she saw no one.

" I thought someone is playing guqin," Luna said

" I can't afford to hire someone and I don't know how to play it," Mira said as she follow Luna who was looking around the Villa

" Why is no one here? Is it only us?" Luna ask as she can't help herself

" This place happened to be owned by the family of a friend of mine, I borrow the place but she decided to let me use it so no one came ," Mira said casually

' What is Mira thinking? Is it really necessary to be alone together? ' Luna thought but she said something else ," You have a friend?"

Mira pause, she smile wryly," What do you think?"

" No, I mean, I didn't expect it as I never saw you with someone else," Luna answered quickly as she didn't want to be misunderstood

Mira squint her eyes to Luna," Have you seen me with someone else before?"

Luna froze, after a moment she said," At school, I think I saw you with someone giving you a love letter," she said calmly but deep inside she wants to hit her head for her clumsy lie, she can't tell Mira that she saw her with her Mom or else she can imagine Mira thinking that she's a stalker

" Oh.. That's your friends good deeds, isn't that love letter came from you?" Mira said teasingly

Luna who was nervous that she would be find out lying didn't expect for Mira to buy it," ehem.. did you prepare all of this?"

" Yes,"

" If I knew you would cook so much I should have come to help you,"

" No, even if you came I won't let you,"

" Why?"

" Because you're my guest, and this is for you,"

Luna didn't say anything, she look down and concentrate on eating. Mira also didn't talk and started to eat. They eat quietly without anyone of them talking but they don't feel uncomfortable.

They enjoy eating and some details is being noted in their hearts. After eating Mira invited Luna to the back where a small fond can be seen reflecting the beautiful moon.

" Did you like it here?" Mira ask

" Yeah, thank you, I think this is more worth it that the necklace I gave,"

" No, I really like the necklace you gave, so it's only right to bring you here"

" Hmm.. I enjoy this night, after the pressure and our busy schedule at School I finally have a time to relax," Luna said but she's thinking if Mira also like the first necklace she gave

" That's good,"

The two continue to walk leisurely until Luna's phone rang.

Luna see that it was her mother, somehow she became nervous, she unconsciously bite her lower lips and didn't know if she should answer it.

Mira who saw Luna's caller which was named "Mother" her expression darkened but Luna didn't saw it," It's your mom, you should answer it or she will get worried,"

Luna look at Mira with apologetic expression," I'm sorry, I might have to go now,"

Mira smile and just nodded. Luna felt regretful to go especially when they're just getting started to have something to talk about.

Luna who was hesitating to go just answered the call and said something to her mother before she ended the call.

" So fast?" Mira asked as she saw the whole scenario, she's a little surprise, she thought Luna would really go after answering the call

" I told to my mother I'm on my way, anyway can we take pictures?"

" Picture? Why?"

" It's really pretty here, and besides you look so pretty, I would regret it if I don't take a picture of us tonight,"

Mira was silent for a moment," Alright, but.. you're not allowed to show it to anyone even to your mother or closest friend,"

Luna's eyes brighten when Mira agree," I swear,"

Mira took Luna's phone and make a pose, moving a little closer to Luna. Mira have no expression but you will notice her little smile if you look closely while Love have a beautiful smile. After 1 take, Mira gave the phone back to Luna.

Luna look at the picture and it was beautifully taken with her and Mira standing together and the Villa behind them with flowers around it

" Wow~ you're good at taking picture?" Luna asked in amazement as she can't do it like Mira

" My mom loves to take pictures, she taught me," Mira answered with a soft smile as she talk about her mother

Luna felt a little sour when she saw Mira's expression ' No, it's her mom, even I would talk softly when it comes to my mother ' Luna thought even if she didn't understand what's that reasoning for

" Then, she must be a lovable person who loves to see beautiful things,"

" Yes, she likes beauty too," Mira feel good and thought of teasing Luna

Luna blush, but she didn't shy away this time," Then she must have a good taste like me,"

Mira was amaze again and chuckle," Yes, you're right, you and my mom are the same. Anyway, let's go, I'll send you home,"

" No, it's okay, I already texted our driver to pick me up, what about you?"

" I'll go home now too, just need to check some few things here,"

" Okay, I'll go now, good night,"

Luna went home while Mira also went home afterwards.

Mira after getting home saw her mother sitting on the living room

" Mom I'm home,"

" Good, have you eaten?" Maria ask but her voice seems to be not right

Mira notice it," Yes, Mom, what's wrong? Did you cry?"

Maria look at her daughter and started to tear up again. Mira got worried," Mom? What's wrong?"

" It's nothing, it's just you're about to leave just thinking about makes me cry,"

" Mom, we already talk and prepare for it right?"

" Yes, but it's different when it's already here,"

" It's not like I won't be back,"

" Have say your goodbye to your friend?" Maria asked while wiping her tears

" Friend? Yes, I'll just go upstairs to get my luggage then we can go to airport now, I still have 3 hours before the flight,"

" Alright, you just got home but you seem so excited to leave again," Maria complain to her daughter

Mira smile helplessly to her mother," Mom, you just send a message that Aunt Liona is already at the airport and is waiting for me how can I not rush?"

" Fine, fine, it's my fault, go quickly,"
