Chapter 78 - Bad News About Luna's Father
Luna remained with tears in her eyes. She remembered that it had been a long time since she had contacted or met her father since she got married. And now, her father was in an accident. The pregnant woman\'s heart seemed to have been pierced by a thousand needles, her body was trembling, and she was worried about her father\'s condition very badly.
"Hello, Luna. I have to turn off the phone first. If you can go there, come. Daddy needs us. Mommy said daddy is very critical," said Shandra sounding like a person crying.
"Yes, Sis, I will go there," replied Luna confidently.
Phone connection lost. Luna sat on the edge of the bed. It didn\'t feel like the translucent grains had fallen from her eyelids. The shadows when her father educated her, cared for, indulged, even when her father apologized because she was pregnant before marriage, seemed to flash in her mind.
The pregnant woman sobbed in her bed. "I have to go there, have to be desperate, no matter how exhausted I will be. Because I have to see the condition of Dad," muttered Luna as she wiped her tears roughly.
Ceklek...
Ethan came out of the bathroom wearing only a towel waist-high, revealing his athletic chest. he immediately went to Luna who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Honey, why are you crying?" Ethan asked as he sat beside Luna. He looked down at his wife worriedly.
"Daddy had an accident, and is now in critical condition," replied Luna as she hugged Ethan. "I beg you to take me to Batam to see how my dad is, I\'m sure I will be strong on the way there."
Ethan didn\'t flinch for a moment in shock at the bad news. He could not bear to see his wife who was happy this morning, now crying uncontrollably.
"Okay, I\'ll escort you. we better get ready now," said Ethan as he let go of Luna\'s arm, then wiped her tears.
Luna nodded and immediately got out of bed to get ready. Meanwhile, Ethan called someone. Who knows what that guy will do.
"Hello, Gio. prepare a flight to Batam in one hour. I\'ll be right there!"/Ethan exclaimed. It seemed that he was going to Batam by using his private plane. Even though he had this luxury vehicle for a long time, he rarely used it.
"Yes, sir," replied Gio. he is also Ethan\'s confidant who manages his private plane and prepares everything for use.

.When it was eleven o\'clock in the evening, Ethan and Luna walked while dragging their suitcases to Ethan\'s private jet which was parked in an airfield at Jakarta Airport.
"Private jet," muttered Luna when she saw that the plane to be boarded was a private jet. so far she did not know if her husband owned the luxury vehicle because her husband seemed simple and rarely showed off.
"Is that private jet yours?" She asked as she turned to look at Ethan, who was walking with her getting closer to the plane.
"Family-owned," Ethan replied without turning his head.
Luna nodded in understanding, she taught Ethan to have a private jet because he was very rich. But if it belongs to the family, why does Edward never tell her, and every time he asks her for a vacation, he never gets on that private jet. Her former lover had taken her on vacation to Bali and Thailand before he went bankrupt.
"Does Edward use it a lot too?" asked Luna curiously.
"Edward only wore it when he was with mom and me," Ethan replied as he handed his suitcase to the steward. steward immediately brought the suitcase onto the plane.
"On his own, he does not want to use this private jet. I don\'t know why he always wants to be independent and is reluctant to use the facilities from Mommy," he continued with an explanation. He regretted Edward\'s attitude who always refused his mother\'s gift. the mother tries to be fair without discriminating against biological children or stepchildren.
"That\'s why he chose to marry Viona instead of asking for help from you or mom," said Luna when she remembered that Edward had explained that the reason for leaving her to marry Viona was to save the company.
"Maybe, he left you for money from Viona\'s father who will save his company. If he told me about his predicament, I will help him," said Ethan as he stepped through the cabin with several white passenger seats.
"If you help him. maybe we won\'t meet together drunk at the hotel. Maybe it\'s a different story."
"Yeah, maybe you\'re still with Edward," Ethan said in a displeased tone. he feels blindly jealous when he talks about his wife being his stepbrother\'s ex-lover.
"Hem," Luna sighed, remembering that Edward had suddenly with her at the restaurant. The man let her cry in public. "As rice has turned into porridge, he disappoints me. from that I realized, to him money means more than me."
"You look so hurt," Ethan stopped and looked at Luna, who accidentally recounted her past.
"That was then, not now," said Luna as she gripped Ethan\'s fingers. "Please be assured. he doesn\'t mean anything to me anymore!" she exclaimed with a look full of conviction.
"Yes, I believe. Moreover, we are very attached. Our little family will feel more perfect after the twins are born." Ethan smiled at Luna and touched her potbelly.
Luna smiled and nodded, then thought back to her father. She was upset again and bowed listless. "Dad must be disappointed because I rarely contacted him. And now he\'s critical. I feel very guilty and miss him."
"Dad will understand you, honey. Calm down. We\'ll see him soon and rest assured he\'ll be fine." Ethan hugged Luna to calm down again.
"Come on in," said Ethan as he led Luna to the room in the private jet.
He took his wife to the room so that she could lie down comfortably. because indeed the purpose of using a private jet is so that his wife feels comfortable and not tired.
"Just sleep, so you don\'t get too tired. I don\'t want you to get sick from this trip," said Ethan as he sat on the edge of the bed with Luna. they sat on a medium-sized bed which was covered with plain white sheets.
"I keep thinking about dad." Luna leaned on Ethan\'s shoulder. Only he can make her calm and indeed only him where he always leaned when his heart was upset.
"Just pray the best for dad," exclaimed Ethan as he embraced Luna. He felt sorry for his wife. This morning I was still smiling happily because she could share with the orphans. but at this time the situation was very reversed, his wife was very sad and devastated, even now she is crying again.
"honey. Don\'t cry. You better sleep. When you arrive, I\'ll wake you up." Ethan looked down and wiped Luna\'s tears. he invited his wife to lie down and hugged him.
Luna kept on crying when she remembered how her father tried to give her all her wishes, love, educate her to be a good girl. The pregnant woman remembered when her father forbade her to become a model for fear that she would fall into promiscuity. Her unlucky night with Ethan, which makes her pregnant, seems to be a slap for the father. Luckily the man was willing to take responsibility and marry her. even love even if you have to accept his ignorance
They both were like that until they fell asleep together. Ethan couldn\'t help feeling sleepy because he hadn\'t been resting since morning. As for Luna, she hasn\'t slept all day and she continues to cry in Ethan\'s arms until she falls asleep.

After almost two hours of traveling, finally, the plane carrying Ethan and Luna arrived at one of the airports in Batam City.
Ethan wakes up when the alarm goes off indicating the plane is landing. Meanwhile, Luna, still sleeping soundly, curled up on her side.
Ethan looked sadly at his wife\'s face which was still swollen from crying. "Hopefully father-in-law will be all right," he thought angrily.
Ethan rushed to the bathroom to wash his face, who looked lethargic because nearly two hours of sleep had yet to make his sleepiness go away. but he had to wake up because he had to go to the hospital immediately.
After washing his face, Ethan walked back to Luna, who was still asleep. "Honey, we\'re here," Ethan patted Luna on the cheek lightly.
Slowly Luna woke up and looked around her, then asked, "Are we there yet?"
"Yes, honey," Ethan replied with a peaceful smile.
Luna immediately sat down and again remembered her father\'s condition, which she said was critical. He immediately got out of bed. "Come on out quickly, I want to hurry to the hospital to see the condition of my Dad," she asked angrily.
"Do not panic. the car that picked us up is on its way here, "replied Ethan as he stood beside Luna. He immediately led her out of the room, down the main cabin, and out through the stairs.
it was still around two in the morning, it was still dark and the weather was very cold. The night wind blew hard, making Luna\'s hair fly in a mess. Luckily, the pregnant woman wore a thick blazer and negligee. Makes her feel less cold.
Ethan invited Luna to enter the car that had arrived to pick her up. At that moment they went straight to the hospital where Luna\'s father was being treated.
"Have you called Sis Shandra?" Ethan asked.
"Not yet," said Luna. She immediately took the cellphone from his blazer pocket, then visited Shandra.
"Hello, Sis, have you arrived at the hospital?" asked Luna when she was connected with Shandra.
"Yes, I have arrived, now looking for Daddy\'s room to be treated," replied Shandra sounding uneasy. Maybe the woman is walking hastily.
"When you have found, let me know, Sis. I\'m on my way to the hospital too."
"Are you going to Batam?" asked Shandra sounding surprised.
"Yes, sis."
"I\'ve seen mom, I\'ll call you later."
The telephone connection was lost, Luna immediately saves her smartphone back. She did not flinch at the view of the roadside through the windshield of the car. Shre remembered her childhood memories in his hometown. Returning to Batam, seemed to make her feel nostalgic.
