Chapter 12 - Barbeque's Party
Luna stared at the photo of Edward and Ethan, who sat hugging each other from the side and smiled at the camera. It makes them look as if they are smiling at everyone who sees the photo.
"When is that photo?" Asked Luna, pointing at the photo
"Recently. before Edward got married, he came here asking for blessing, we had a photo together, "Ethan replied as he sat on his king-size bed.
"Oh, you are very close."
"Of course, I feel sorry for him, since childhood his mother has died, mom loves him as much as he loves me too"
"Why doesn't he live with you? I mean, I'm friends with Edward, but I never knew you were his younger brother, and you were never with him in Jakarta before," asked Luna, who was curious about the fate that Ethan was Edward's younger brother.
"I've only been to Jakarta for a few months. When David was getting married, I just moved, and ..." Ethan replied but stopped, remembering the wrong room incident with Luna.
"And you hindered me," said Luna, disappointed.
"Not on purpose," said Ethan guiltily.
"Even though I am in the spirit of pursuing my career," muttered Luna as she sat on the bed and lay down. Straighten her sore waist.
Ethan begins to feel uneasy when Luna starts discussing career matters. He was afraid that Luna would still try to be a model after giving birth, still ask for a divorce, or that their child would only be cared for by a baby sister. Ethan didn't like that. because since he was a baby, he was only cared for by his mother. Not with the help of baby sisters. He wants his child to get love from his mother, not a baby sister.

Jakarta
Shandra who has just come home from work looks gloomy in her room while waiting for Arsha, who hasn't come home from work. she kept thinking about the fate of her younger household.
The room door opened, it looks like Arsha has just come home. He approached Shandra, who was still in her work clothes lying on the bed.
"Why, are you sick?" Arsha asked with a frown looking at his wife who looked lethargic.
"No, I'm just having a lot of thoughts," Shandra replied as she sat on the bed leaning on the pillow.
"What are you thinking?" Arsha asked as she took off his Tuxedo.
"I think about Luna, I don't want her to be divorced, sorry for the children later," Shandra replied sadly.
Arsha sits down beside Shandra, then hugs his upset wife.
"I'll help advise her. I sure she can change her mind, Ethan will make her as comfortable as possible and she will feel that there is no need for a divorce, don't think too much of it, "Arsha assured Shandra. As a brother-in-law, Arsha was given the responsibility to look after and watch Luna by his in-laws.

Singapore
In the night. All of Ethan's family gathered in the garden next to the house. They have a barbeque party.
Ethan with his mother and also Doni and Maura, grilling sausages and meat, grilling corn, while Luna sits on a chair while singing accompanied by guitar strings from Alexa's fingers. They look cool and familiar. Who knows? Alexa is good at playing guitar and Luna also likes singing.
occasionally Ethan turned his head to look at Luna, who looked cheerful that night.
"They both just met, they immediately became close," murmured Maura, Alexa's mother.
"Yes, it looks like they are the same age. Luna married Ethan young because of an incident but I hope this marriage is not just Ethan's responsibility," replied Dina while focusing on grilling sausages.
"You love your wife," Doni said, glancing at Ethan
Ethan only responded with a smile and nodded, Doni patted his nephew's shoulder, "then, make her love you too, don't let her leave you, poor kids you will later if you separate."
"Sorry I'm late," said someone who just came with a woman beside him.
Luna and everyone who were partying the barbeque turned to stare at that person. It is Edward and Viona who always follow him.
"Her again, why do you have to bring that bitchy wife?" annoyed Alexa. Her mood to play guitar just disappeared when she saw Viona's arrival.
Luna stared lazily at her former lover, she just remembered that Edward was also part of Ethan's family, he must have joined the reunion. And why doesn't Alexa like Viona either? But she chose to remain silent.
"It's okay. The important thing is that you come with Viona too," said Dina while throwing a friendly smile at Edward and Viona.
"Why are you late, are you too busy?" Ethan asked.
"Yes. Viona is also busy, right honey?" Edward replied and then glanced at Viona.
"Yes, I helped take care of my father's company," said Viona, strengthening Edward's reason for being late.
"Honey, I want the sausages, are they ready?" Said Luna, who now indulgently called Ethan "darling" while leaning her body against Ethan's. she was annoyed at Edward who called Viona "dear" even though yesterday had said he still loved her. That made Edward even worse in her eyes.
Ethan, who was a little strange and surprised at the call, was a little nervous, but felt happy, without suspecting that it was only because of the annoyance factor with Edward. "Yes, but it's still too hot," he said.
"Em, let me blow it." Luna grabbed the cooked sausage with a fork and blew on it.
after it wasn't too hot, Luna ate the sausages while feeding Ethan too. Everyone smiled at the intimacy of Ethan and Luna. Except for Edward and Viona.
Edward is not happy to see Luna being intimate with Ethan, while Viona is not happy because she doesn't like Edward's family, Viona is too naive and unfriendly.
