The next day, Luna got ready for college and came downstairs to look for Agnes ( the maid ).
But Agnes was nowhere to be found. Luna pouted and headed to the kitchen, thinking maybe Agnes was there.
Suddenly, a deep voice spoke out, "She's not here."
Luna turned to see Raf standing there, adjusting his coat.
He wore a light blue shirt, black blazers, and a silver wristwatch, which caught her attention for the second time since the gym incident.
Raf raised his eyebrows questioning "what" in his expression.. But no replies from Luna.
Raf (sighed) : "Agnes will be back after 12 pm. She has some personal work to attend to. You can leave."
Luna snapped back to reality upon hearing his voice and replied
Luna : "Oh, okay."
Raf turned and left the mansion, leaving Luna alone.
Luna : ( said to herself ) : "Aish! Why he is like this, heartless guy.. ! Aishh "
As Luna left the mansion and made her way to the college.
_____________________
At College
Mila: "Ugh, these exams are so frustrating, guys!"
Tessa: "I know, right? If I don't get good marks this time, my mom will kill me with her sharp words!" (She let out a deep sigh.)
Luna: "Aww, don't think too much about it. We still have three days before the exams."
Tessa and Mila turned to her with shocked expressions on their faces.
Luna: "What? Why are you both staring at me like that?"
Mila: "You're not even worried about the exams?"
Tessa: "Luna, don't you care about your grades?"
Luna shook her head, indicating no.
Mila: "Of course not. She has no fears because no one is there to question her."
Mila's words pierced Luna's heart, these words are enought for Luna to form tears in her eyes. The truth in Mila's statement clenched Luna's heart, reminding her that she had no one to hold her accountable or care about her well-being.
Tessa glared at Mila and stamped her foot in disapproval.
Tessa : "Mila, that was uncalled for!"
Mila's eyes widened in realization, and she quickly apologized,
Mila : "Aish, Luna, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it!"
But Luna was already getting up from the bench, her eyes brimming with tears. She swiftly exited the classroom, leaving Mila and Tessa behind.
Tessa turned to Mila, her expression disapproving.
Tessa : "Mila, what's wrong with you? That was really hurtful."
Mila looked crestfallen, her face etched with regret.
Mila : "I know, I'm so sorry. I didn't think before speaking. I feel terrible." ( with sad expression )
Tessa sighed and got up from her seat.
Tessa : "Go apologize to Luna, Mila. Make it right."
Mila nodded and quickly followed Luna out of the classroom, hoping to make amends for her thoughtless words.
She went outside and found luna, she about to approach her and then,
Mila hesitated, seeing Harry talking to Luna outside the classroom.
She didn't want to interrupt, so she stepped back and returned to the classroom.
Tessa noticed Mila's return and asked
Tessa : "Did you apologize to her?"
Mila shook her head, looking down in regret.
Mila : "No, I didn't. Harry was talking to her, so I didn't want to interrupt."
Tessa nodded understandingly.
Tessa : "It's okay, you can apologize later. But make sure you do, Mila. Your words really hurt her."
Mila nodded, feeling guilty and remorseful. She knew she needed to make things right with Luna.
Meanwhile Luna and Harry
Harry: "Luna, how are you?"
Luna nodded, but her face still looked troubled.
Harry: "What's wrong? You seem really sad."
Luna: "Nothing..."
Harry: "Sorry about the other day, Luna. I behaved wrongly. I shouldn't have hugged you without your permission. I was worried when you didn't come to college for so many days, and when I saw you, I got emotional and hugged you without thinking. I'm sorry."
Luna: (smiling) "It's okay, Harry. I didn't take it personally."
Harry: (smiling back) "Why didn't you come to your part-time job?"
Luna: "I won't be coming here after..."
Harry : Why ? ( looking confused )
Luna : "I was receiving help from someone,.. So... ( she is thinking about Nick's words and Raf's words , They said luna should not go to job untill they say )
Harry: "What's going on? You're thinking deeply about something."
Luna: ( shrugged her shoulders and told ) "I was receiving help from someone..."
Harry: (looking confused) "Who is that person? Can I know?"
Luna: "Um...He...I'll tell you later. Please don't ask."
Harry smiled and nodded understandingly.
Harry: "Okay, if you're happy, I'm happy too."
Luna smiled, and as the bell rang, she said,
Luna : "Meet you tomorrow, Harry."
She headed downstairs to leave college.
Harry watched her disappear from the second floor, a small smile on his lips.
Mila and Tessa came downstairs fastly as they can but they missed Luna.. They looked at each other and decided to talk to her tomorrow.
________________________
Luna was walking on the streets.. It was 5pm.. Her face is still sad and she recollecting the words came from Mila's mouth.. Her eyes brimming with tears and slowly it came to her cheeks.. She looked down and smile sadly...
Luna : I have no one to miss, I have no one to love , I have literally no one in this whole world.. ( she murdered to herself and walking on the streets )
Suddenly a man came and stood in front of her..
She looked up and and turned back and again front.
That man : Come with me..
Luna: "Who are you?" ( she asked, her voice laced with a hint of fear as she tried to take a step back )
But before she could move further, a hand grasped her shoulder from behind, and a cloth was clamped over her nose and mouth, releasing a sweet-smelling anesthesia.
Luna felt her head spinning, and her vision began to blur as she struggled to break free.
Despite her efforts, the anesthesia took hold, and Luna's body went limp. She felt herself being lifted off the ground, and then everything went dark.
She was tied in a chair and her mouth got tapped.. After 2 hours.. She gained some consciousness and opened her eyes slightly and saw a man sitting in front of her..
The man : Wow, see who is awaken. Welcome home dear !
Luna's eyes are still blur and she trying to capture his face in her eyes.. But she can't see him clearly..
