Chapter 9 - Advice From Sister
Edward walked out of Ethan's house with lazy steps in disappointment. Disappointed that Luna didn't hear his explanation. He regretted leaving Luna just because he wanted to accompany her.
If he's not so proud ask Ethan or his stepmother to help. Maybe Luna is still with him. But the rice has become porridge, Luna has even become Ethan's wife.
On the terrace. It so happened that Shandra and Arsha had just arrived. Shandra frowned when she saw Edward come out of Ethan's house.
"Edward," said Shandra with a displeased expression. Of course, she didn't like it. Because Edward has hurt Luna. Shandra remembered how sad Luna was when Edward broke off the relationship and became even sadder when she heard the news that Edward had married the daughter of a rich businessman.
Edward only replied to Shandra's greeting with a smile and then immediately left. Meanwhile, Arsha immediately entered.
After Edward left, Shandra entered the living room and saw Luna sitting relaxed on the sofa.
"Sis," said Luna when she saw her brother come. He immediately got up from his chair and hugged his brother.
"How are you?" Shandra asked after releasing Luna's hug.
"I'm okay. It's just that my stomach is bloated," replied Luna, smiling shyly.
"Yes, even though it's only been five months, right?"
"There are two kids," muttered Luna as she sat on the sofa.
Shandra raised eyebrows with wide eyes staring at her sister's face, which looked sluggish, tired, and sad, "twins?" asked Shandra.
Luna just nodded, while Arsha and Shandra laughed, "hahaha ... your stomach is bloated. I can't imagine it," teased Arsha.
"I'm even happy to hear it. Your child must be very beautiful or handsome. Must be funny. Cute. Ah, I want to have twins too," said Shandra with a cheerful expression. But Shandra remembered meeting Edward on the porch of this house.
"Why is there Edward, why does he know you live here?" Shandra asked while narrowing her eyes at Luna.
"Of course he knows I'm here. Because it turns out that he is Ethan's half-brother l. Don't you remember that he was also present at the wedding? I was a little surprised at that time," replied Luna with an unhappy face. Edward's arrival upset her.
"Gosh. The world is so small. Did Ethan know the two of you were in a relationship?" asked Shandra.
"No."
"Does he come here often?"
"Yes."
"You still like him?"
"Yes. But I hate it too."
"Geez, Luna. You're not in a good position. What if Ethan finds out you guys are dating. And now Edward still sees you a lot. What if Ethan is jealous. Angry. Misunderstand?" asked Shandra. She began to worry if something was wrong with her sister's household.
"Just be angry or jealous. Anyway, I don't love him. This marriage is just an incident. After giving birth, we will divorce," replied Luna indifferently.
"Do not like that. Marriage is a sacred thing. Indeed you don't love him, but remember! Soon you will have children. Even twins. Aren't you thinking about your children's future? " Arsha said. As brother-in-law. He also gave the right advice to Luna.
"But I don't love him! He ruined my career."
"Don't just think about your career. Ethan's money is more than enough to meet your needs. He loves you too. He must have also been shocked by this incident. But he's trying to accept it, "said Shandra, looking at Luna with an intense bow.
"Yes, it is true what Arsha said. You must learn to accept him as your husband forever. I hope you can think more mature. Remember! You will have two children. That child will need your love for both of you. Don't be selfish."
"I don't know. I'm still in doubt. I don't know if I can love Ethan or not. Edward always imagines me. Moreover, he often comes," replied Luna with a languid bow. She took her sister's advice. But she still couldn't get over her love for Edward.
Shandra, who understood the position of her sister who was hesitating, immediately hugged her, "Be patient. Don't be sad. This will affect the health of your uterus."
"Yes, sis."
"Where's Ethan now?" asked Arsha. Because he had never seen Ethan before.
"To the office. he has important business," replied Luna
"Is he always busy?" asked Shandra
"Yes, sis. But lately, he is often at home to accompany me."
"Your husband is very caring. Don't ever waste it. Edward is just a cowardly man. What do you think?" suggested Shandra. She hopes her sister will change her mind about divorce after giving birth. Shandra worries for the twins later.
Luna sighed, "I'll try, sis."
Luna did feel comfortable with Ethan. But she wasn't sure about that feeling yet. Is it just being comfortable with the baby or is it just a sign she's starting to love Ethan?
