The Lost Luna Is In Our Midst (Moon Goddess)

Ella, tired after a tough day at work, trudged through the front door with a big sigh. The challenges at the fashion house and the stress from Dennis’s fiancée had left her feeling worn out.

Ella’s shoulders relaxed a bit at Luna’s cheerful greeting. Luna’s joyful energy always had a way of soothing Ella’s stress. However, her relief was short-lived as Luna’s response to her question about Cory brought a new wave of concern.

Luna: “Mama, Papa didn’t bring me home today. Randy’s mother, Sonia, brought me. Aunty Belinda was bringing me back home when she suddenly fainted, so we had to rush her back to Aunty Sonia’s house. There’s a lot happening at Aunt Sonia’s house right now.”

Ella’s brows furrowed with worry as Luna spilled the unexpected events. The mention of Belinda’s fainting and the urgency of the situation at Sonia’s house heightened Ella’s concern for her friend and added a layer of stress to her already exhausting day.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Ella: “Oh no, that sounds serious. Why didn’t Papa bring you home, and why didn’t he tell me?” Ella’s mind raced with a mix of concern for Belinda and frustration at not being informed about the situation by Cory.

Ella’s tired eyes widened with worry as Luna began to recount the tumultuous events that unfolded in Belinda’s troubled marriage. Luna, with a solemn expression, delved into the details of the confrontation with James and the difficult decision Belinda made to end the relationship.

Luna: “Mama, Aunty Belinda’s marriage is in a lot of trouble. Papa and I didn’t bring me home because there was a big fight. Aunty Belinda confronted Uncle James about his drinking and how he treated her and Angel. It got really loud, and she decided she doesn’t want to be married to him anymore.”

Ella’s heart sank at Luna’s words, the weight of Belinda’s struggles becoming more apparent with each sentence. She listened intently, her tiredness momentarily forgotten in the face of Luna’s solemn narrative.

Ella’s fatigue was instantly replaced by a surge of anger, not only at the situation but also at the absence of Cory, her husband’s communication. Luna’s innocent storytelling fueled her frustration.

Ella, her voice edged with irritation: “Why didn’t Papa tell me about this? Belinda is my friend, and I should have been there for her. Luna, do you know where Papa is?”

Luna, looking up at her mother with wide eyes: ” Aunty Sonia’s said Papa had to go back to her house to help. She looked really serious, Mama. Are Aunty Belinda and Uncle James going to be okay?”

Ella, her mind racing with concern for both Belinda and Cory: “I don’t know, Luna, but we need to find out. I should have been informed about this. Let me call your father and see what’s going on. Thank you for telling me, sweetheart.”

Ella retrieved her phone, frustration evident in her movements as she dialed Cory’s number. As she waited for him to answer, her thoughts raced, hoping for an explanation and a way to offer support to Belinda in her challenging time.

Luna, sensing her mother’s concern, looked up with innocent eyes filled with curiosity. She could feel a shift in the atmosphere, and it made her wonder about the unfolding events.

Luna, gently: “Mama, why are you worried? Is something wrong?”

Ella, trying to compose herself, forced a smile.

Ella, reassuringly: “Oh, sweetheart, everything is fine. I’m just a bit surprised by the news you shared. Papa should have told me, that’s all.”

Luna, tilting her head: “Will aunt Belinda be okay, Mama?”

Ella, sighing: “Yes, Luna, I guess Aunt Belinda is just going through a tough time, okay?”

Luna, nodding: “Okay, Mama. I hope Aunt Belinda feels better soon.”

Ella, grateful for Luna’s innocence, hugged her daughter tightly,

Ella, fueled by both worry for Belinda and frustration with the lack of communication, dialed her husband’s number anxiously. As the phone rang, her impatience grew.

Cory’s voice finally came through the line, and Ella wasted no time expressing her dissatisfaction.

Ella, angrily: “Cory, why didn’t you tell me about Belinda’s situation? Luna came home and told me everything. I can’t believe you kept this from me!”

Cory, apologetic: “Ella, I’m sorry. It all happened so fast, and I wanted to make sure Luna was settled before updating you. I should have called. I’m at Sonia’s now, supporting Belinda and Anita.”

Ella, frustration evident: “This is important, Cory. Belinda is my friend, and you should have informed me immediately. I can’t believe you went there without telling me.”

Cory, regretful: “You’re right, Ella. I should have kept you in the loop. I’m sorry. I’ll be home soon.”

The call ended, leaving Ella torn between her concern for Belinda and her frustration with Cory’s actions, her mind raced with thoughts of how to best support her friend in need..”

She couldn’t help but long for a better communication with Cory.

Luna, witnessing her mother’s distress, approached with a comforting hug.

Luna, softly: “It will be okay, Mama. We can go to Aunt Sonia’s and be with Papa and Aunt Belinda. Maybe we can help them.”

Ella, appreciating Luna’s innocence, nodded, realizing that despite the turmoil, her family’s support could make a difference. The evening, which began with weariness, now unfolded with a renewed sense of purpose as Ella and Luna prepared to join Cory at Sonia’s house.

Ella, softly to Luna: “You’re right, sweetheart. Let’s go together and be there for Aunt Belinda and Papa. Sometimes, it’s important to be with the people we care about during difficult times.”

They both stood up and headed towards Sonia’s house, Ella couldn’t shake the lingering worry, but Luna’s optimism brought a glimmer of hope to the challenging situation.

Luna, holding her mother’s hand, spoke with unwavering positivity.

Luna: “Aunt Belinda will be okay, Mama. And we’re here for Papa too. Maybe we can bring some comfort to them.”

Ella, grateful for Luna’s resilience, smiled down at her daughter.

Ella: “You’re right, Luna. Your optimism is a ray of light in moments like these. Let’s go and be there for them, as a family.”

As they approached Sonia’s house, which wasn’t far from theirs, the night air carried a mix of tension and anticipation. Ella couldn’t predict what awaited them, but Luna’s simple belief in bringing comfort filled her with a sense of purpose. Together, mother and daughter faced the unknown, ready to support their extended family in whatever way they could.
