It was 10 pm that night, and Luna's father had already been laid to rest due to his fragile health ( he was buried ).
Luna's tears flowed constantly as she gazed at a photo of her and her father together.
Rafael sighed and turned to Mila and Tessa.
Raf : "You both should leave. We'll take care of her."
Mila and Tessa exchanged uncertain glances.
Tessa : "No, we'll stay with her,"
Mila ; "Yes, she needs us,"
Rafael's expression remained same.
Raf : "We'll take care of her."
( He gestured to Nick, who nodded in agreement. )
Nick : "Your parents must be searching for you both. We'll take care of Luna."
Luna remained unaware of the conversation, lost in her grief as she continued to cry, clutching the photo of her and her father.
Nick : Let's go. I'll drop you both.
Mila : No, we can-
Nick: Come with me ( he said while getting into the car ).
Mila and Tessa hugged Luna tightly and left, leaving Rafael and Luna alone.
Rafael's eyes fixed on Luna, who was crying uncontrollably. She clutched the photo of her and her father, her body shaking with each sob.
Rafael's expression was stoic, but his eyes showed a hint of softness. He didn't move or speak, just watched Luna as she poured out her emotions.
The silence was broken only by her heart-wrenching sobs.
Rafael couldn't bear to see anyone in so much pain.
He walked over to her and gently said
Raf : "Don't cry, I know it's your father... But he didn't care about you."
Luna's tears didn't cease, and she buried her face in her hands, her body shaking with sobs.
Rafael sat down beside her, his sigh a mixture of frustration and empathy.
He placed a hand on her shoulder, his touch surprisingly gentle.
Raf : "He didn't deserve your tears" ( he said softly, trying to comfort her )
She lifted her head, her eyes red and puffy, and looked at Rafael with a mix of sadness and anger.
Luna : Why?..... Why are you here..... ( crying ) Leave me.. Alone.... I was... I was born to be alone.. ( sobs )
Raf : No one in this world born with plans.
Luna : ( smiles sadly ) I did
Raf didn't know how to comfort her. She is extremely hurt.
Luna: "I don't think I can go on without him... I was living for my father ( her voice cracks ) waiting for him to get better. He was my only reason to keep going... But now... (her voice breaks) ...he's really gone."
Raf : What you going to do next ?
Luna shook her head as no while crying without knowing what to do next. She has no answer for his question.
Raf sighed..
Raf : See, You can't cry and mourn all time. You have to see your life.
( while raf is talking Luna felt a sharp pain on her neck and head. She felt so much pain there ).
Luna : Ahh ! ( she shouted in pain while holding her neck )
Raf : What happen ?
Luna : Omg ! My neck..
( she stood up and placed her hands on her head..she felt dizzy and fell, but Rafael caught her. He held her upright, his arms wrapped around her shoulder )
Luna's head spun, but Rafael's grip kept her steady. He guided her to a chair and helped her sit down, kneeling beside her with concern in his eyes.
Raf : "You need to take care of yourself,"
Luna : Ah ( tired ) My neck..
Nick arrive there at the right time , he got out from the car and saw luna who was sitting tiredly on the chair..
Nick : Is everything alright ? ( he asked raf )
Raf: nothing is alright Nick, we should call a doctor..
Nick : Get her into the car. We will drive to mansion. Its late already. We can't leave her alone in this condition.
Rafael nodded in agreement, his eyes still fixed on Luna's fragile form.
He gently lifted her into his arms and carried her to the car, where Nick was waiting in the driver's seat.
Rafael carefully placed Luna in the backseat, he also sat in the backseat. wrapping a protective arm around her shoulders.
Raf : "Let's go''.
Nick, nodded and started the engine.
As the car pulled away, Luna leaned into Rafael's side, her eyes closing in exhaustion. Rafael held her close, his presence a comforting shield to her.
As soon as they arrived at the mansion, Rafael carried Luna inside, in his arms. He took her straight to the guest room, gently placing her on the bed, just as he had done before that day.
Raf : "Call the doctor,"
Nick : She will get well soon. She just fainted..
Raf : No Nick, she was on pain. She held her Neck and Head. Call the doctor.
Nick nodded and quickly took the phone, dialing the number of their private doctor.
Nick : "Doctor, we need you here at the mansion"
Rafael sat beside Luna, his eyes fixed on her pale face. He waited anxiously for the doctor to arrive, hoping they could help ease Luna's suffering.
Nick touched Rafael's shoulder, a gentle gesture of reassurance.
Nick : "Don't worry,"
Rafael nodded. He waited anxiously for the doctor, and then after sometime, the doorbell rang.
Nick got up to answer it, revealing Dr.Shen their private doctor.
Nick : "Thank you for coming at this time, Doctor"
The doctor hurried into the room, with her medical bag in hand.
Dr : "What happened?"
Rafael explained the situation. The doctor nodded and she started checking Luna.
As she checked her , Luna hissed in pain.
Dr : "She's not just fainted; she's experiencing extreme stress, which has caused a migraine headache and neck pain. This is due to overexertion.
Nick : "Yes, Doctor, she's just a student, but she works until 12 am every night. She has no one else, and her father passed away today."
The doctor nodded sympathetically.
Dr : "I understand. I've seen many patients like this. Take care of her; I know you people will. She needs complete rest - a lot of rest. She should stop working altogether."
She said and left while injecting her for good sleep. Raf sighed and put the blanket on Luna and Raf, Nick they both went out leaving luna to sleep.
Nick : you think she won't go to her job ?
Raf : We should help her financially, so she won't go.
Nick : ( shrugged his shoulder ) I don't think so..
Raf looked at him and gestured " why"
Nick : She already tried many times to avoid us paying for her father's treatment. You think she will accept our help ?
Raf sighed and..
Raf : I will talk to her.
