BLUE MOON'S
THE INDEPENDENT WOMEN'S GENRE RACE

Someone is knocking on my door. Behind that knocking sound I occasionally heard my name mentioned. I felt my sleep was very sound, but the voice was still heard by me.

"Sir Zea..?" The voice was heard again. This time it was stronger than before.

The knock on the door of my room that originally sounded soft and regular, turned louder and felt imposing.

"Hmmm.."

The sound of that knocking kept coming into my ear. My eyes that still wanted to be closed, instantly opened and widened.

I glanced at the clock collar that was spinning on the wall. It's still 9 o'clock. So what's up?

"Attent." I screamed half-conscious. The hoarse voice and bitter taste on my neck seemed to make it difficult for me to breathe.

The frilly white pajamas I was wearing looked already full of wrinkles. I got out of my bed and walked to the door. My steps still feel shaky. My legs also felt as if they were unable to support my body weight.

"Why mom?"

I looked at the middle-aged woman who was already standing in front of my room door. His face seemed to be getting full of wrinkles. A smile was etched on the corner of his lips, making the frown on the corner of his eyes look clearer.

"That's what's waiting for in front."

"Who?" I looked at him who was smiling at me.

The woman did not reply, she just gestured for me to see her for myself.

Who is coming? I can't think of a name at all. There are no appointments with Aria or the others.

Nathan's?

But he didn't call me. There's no way he's coming without telling. He's not that kind of person. I reckon.

I ran downstairs, down my steps. The white pajamas I wore occasionally swayed following my body movements.

"Mom Alice!!" My yelling.

I was standing in front of a room. The place where my friends usually visit, will be waiting for me.

Hearing my call, the woman caught up with me, came to where I was standing. His face was holding back laughter looking at me.

"Lied huh?" pissed me. Looked at that woman.

"No Ma'am."

"So where? There's no one here."

Ms. Alice who saw the annoyance on my face immediately laughed.

"not here. Out." He pointed to my home page.

"Huh?"

I walked over to the window in the room. The windows in my living room have a direct view of the garden.

Ms. Alice who saw my actions did not stop holding back her laughter.

"Why peek at all Mommy? Didn't it come out?"

"Ssttt..!!"

I'm hinting Ms. Alice to shut up. I don't want people outside to know where I am.

Who the hell is coming?

"Huhh?! ... Lukee!!" My words scream.

I immediately shut my mouth. My strong screaming voice, I hope not to be heard by him.

Wh why? Why is he here now?

"Mom Alice.. ?"

I walked back away from the window. Approaching Ms. Alice who was still silently watching my behavior.

"Why Mother?"

I didn't answer the question. I looked at Ms. Alice with great annoyance. How could he possibly put Luke in my house. Fortunately, it is still a page. How about if he's inside? What's gonna happen?

"Mom why is he here?" My words pointed towards Luke who was still standing in the yard.

"Isn't he Ma'am's girlfriend?"

"When did I tell you I had a boyfriend?"

"Huh...!!"

I was a little relieved to hear Ms. Alice's reply that didn't allow Luke to enter. How could I have forgotten that Luke was capable of doing this kind of cunning. He lied to Ms. Alice as my girlfriend.

"No ma'am. I can't possibly date someone like him. He's not a person who deserves to be loved."

Alice still looks confused. He wanted to say something, but something seemed to be blocking his mouth from speaking.

"What's wrong, ma'am? Just say it." I looked at him confused.

"Don't she have an appointment today to meet someone?"

"Who said it?"

"Mother himself last night. Before the break, Ma'am said today he wanted to go out. That's why, I guess I mean the boy wants to go with him." Answer Ms. Alice.

Ms. Alice seemed worried about my question. I don't even remember what I said to Ms. Alice last night.

"Maybe I forgot because I was exhausted last night Mom. But you can help me get rid of him, right?"

Luke standing outside looked very happy. His hands are playing with his cell phone. I who only saw him already felt increasingly upset and emotional.

"What do I have to say, Mother? He was upset because I didn't let him in."

"Whatever Mom. Just say whatever. I don't want to talk to him."

Ms. Alice just nodded and left. It can't be that easy if you want to kick Luke out.

I went to the window. Look at the conversation between Alice and Luke.

Their voices were not heard by me. Only the body movements of those were able to be read.

Luke seems to be unable to accept the words of Ms. Alice. His face looked angry and angry. Sometimes his eyes looked at my house. But Ms. Alice tried to stop him.

Luke who saw the actions of Ms. Alice seemed to start not being able to control her emotions. His hand was raised and he tried to push on Ms. Alice's body.

"Luke..!!"

I'm yelling. I ran out and approached Ms. Alice. The white pajamas I was wearing seemed to sway and hypnotize his gaze for a moment. I knew I shouldn't have come out wearing only these lacy white pajamas.

"You crazy? What did you do to the old lady."

I looked at him with annoyance. I pulled Miss Alice away from him. I don't care about my look. If anything happens to Ms. Alice, it makes me feel even more guilty.

"Zee??"

Luke looked at me in surprise. I am aware of my presence in front of him.

My body started shaking to see it. Ms. Alice, who knew I was scared, tried to hold my hand. Pulling me away from Luke.

"Zee..wait!!"

Luke pulled my hand. Stopping Ms. Alice from trying to take me away. The grip of his hand on my wrist felt very strong.

"Delivery." My speech.

"What more do you want now?"

I pulled out my hand that was in his hand. The reddened wounds from the grasp of his hand began to appear to circle my hand. Luke didn't take it off, grasped it more firmly.

"Zee we need to talk. I'll explain everything. This time, I'll change for you."

I looked at Luke annoyed. The anger and fear were all in me. I was so disappointed that I fell in love with someone like him.

"Luke. I don't care anymore about any of that. Why when I give you a chance you don't do anything. Why should it be now? I'm sick of it."

I looked at her emotions. Tears flowed down my cheeks. I don't know if I'm angry about what he did or because I still have feelings for him. A strange feeling was gathering in my chest.

"Enough Luke. Don't make me hate you more than this. You have disturbed my calm. And look.."

I pointed at my hand that was still held by him. The circle flushed from his handle became more and more obvious. Ms. Alice who was next to me also started to worry and fear.

"You see that. You won't be able to change. You're gonna keep hurting me. Go on!! Or do you want me to call the police because you broke in here and hurt me?"

Luke was silent for a moment looking at me. His grasp slowly loosened and detached.

"Zeez... I'm not just gonna let you go. I won't let anyone have you."

After saying that Luke turned and left. Ms. Alice who saw me worried, helped to support my body. Bring me back in the house.

I knew Ms. Alice wanted to say something, but seeing my situation she just chose to be quiet.
