Chapter 90 - Luna

"Hi, I am Luna. Nice to meet you too."The woman said with a smile.

"Luna, it's a good name to be friends. You wait in here a bit. I am going to prepare the discharge papers for you."Nina Anderson said and left the woman. The woman sighed to see her leaving the emergency room. She came back after half an hour.

"Everything is settled down now. Let us go."Nina Anderson said and showed her a packet on which she kept her medical records and some medicines.

"Where do you live?"Nina Anderson asked.

"I live in Khoja Green Village."Miss Luna replied.

"Oh.Ok.Let us book a cab first."Nina Anderson said and booked a taxi. The taxi arrived there within five minutes.

"Get in."Nina Anderson said and she opened the door for her and helped her to get in.

"Thank you very much."Miss Luna said with a smile.

"Miss Luna, do you know, this world is very beautiful. We should cherish our moment, we got."Nina Anderson said and holds her hand. Miss Luna smiled sadly.

"Nina, things are not that easy for everyone. Sometimes things become unbearable. It...it becomes hard to live. Do you know, I love my family very much? I was very happy with my parents and my little sister. B.....but I felt heartbroken when I think about the future."Miss Luna said with a sigh.

"Ok. Let it go. Where do you live? I have not seen you before."

"I live in city R.Now I am staying at a hotel. I came to your village for some work."

"Oh! So, you are not a local. So, where is your hotel? Is not it in the city we just left?"

"Yes. It is."

"You should not have to come with me. You have already done a lot."

"It's ok. Luna. You are not well. It is my duty to reach your home safely."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"You are so nice Nina. Thank you very much."Miss Luna said.

They reached the village after some time. Nina Anderson helped Miss Luna to get off.

"Miss Luna. I'll leave now. Take care."Nina Anderson said and about to get in the taxi, but stopped by Miss Luna.

"Nina, stay tonight with me. You have saved my life. Please give me a chance to serve you. Please come with me. My parents would be very happy to see you."Miss Luna said eagerly.

"No Luna, I think I should not go to your place. Your parents would not like to have a guest like me."Nina Anderson said with a smile.

"What do you mean?"

"Luna, I am from High Clouds Enterprise. I came here to convince the villagers to sign the contract with the company. The villagers hate me. They would hate you also if I go with you. I think I should not create any problem for you and your family. "

Miss Luna thought for a moment and smiled.

"Nina, I think I can help you in this matter. You need not worry about it. Let's go."Miss Luna said with a mysterious smile. Nina Anderson stared at her closely.

"Are you sure?"

"Of course. Now let us go."Miss Luna said and pulled Nina Anderson happily. They reached a house. A lady was sitting on a chair on the outside of the house worriedly. She jumped up to see Miss Luna. 

"Oh, my child! Where were you? The whole village is searching for you. We...we think you.....you..."Miss Luna's mother hugged her tightly and cried. Suddenly she noticed her plastered hand.

"Wh....what happened to your hand? Are you hurt? Oh my God! How can you be so careless?"

"Mother, I am fine. It will heal after a few days. Please don't cry. Here look whom I brought. We have a guest today. She is my friend Nina Anderson"Miss Luna said with a smile. Now her mother noticed Nina Anderson.

"Oh. I am sorry Miss. I have not noticed you. "Miss Luna's mother said with a smile 

"Hello, auntie,I am Nina Anderson. Nice to meet you."Nina Anderson bowed and said politely. Luna's mother smiled happily.

"Oh.Such a sweet girl! Please come in."She said and signalled them to come in.

"Thank you."Nian Anderson replied.

"Mother, where are Lily and father?"Miss Luna asked as she had not seen anyone at home.

"Oh.Shit! I forgot. You two go in. I have to go near them. They are still searching for you. They asked me to wait outside as you might come back any time."Her Mother said and left hurriedly.

"Why she needs to run to them to inform? Has not your father brought a mobile with him? She can call them to inform."Nina Anderson said confusedly. Miss Luna stared at Nina Anderson stared at her for some time and looked away.

"We are not allowed to keep mobile phones.No one has kept one in this village."Miss Luna said in a sad voice.

"What? What do you mean by not allowed ? Who is going to stop you from using one? Is not it weird?"Nina Anderson asked confusedly and looked at Miss Luna who was looking out through a window blankly.

"Miss Luna, what happened? Why are you look so worried? Is there something bothering you?"Nina Anderson asked worriedly.

"Nina Anderson, please save us. We need your help. I know I am asking you a big thing, but I can feel that only you can help us."

"Ok. I will. I will help you if I can. But I think you should take some rest today. You had to go through a lot today."

"I am ok. We have no time."Miss Luna said with a sigh.

"What........"Nina Anderson wanted to ask something but stopped to hear some voices outside of the house.

"Where was she? Has she a death wish? How can she disappear like that? Should not she take some responsibilities as the daughter of this village?"They heard someone yelled from outside.

"Who are they? Why are they cursing you? What are they speaking about?"Nina Anderson asked confusedly.

"Nina, I think the villagers are here to punish me for disappearing. I need to go there. You stay in here. Don't go out. Otherwise, they would attack you. I am going out to talk to them. Remember, you must not come out now. Otherwise, I would not be able to help you with the contract. They are angry now. If they see you now, they will kill me. I will try to calm them. "Miss Luna said and left the room hurriedly.

"About what responsibility are you speaking about? Why we all the daughters of this village has to take the responsibilities. It was you all, who sold yourself to the demons. How can you blame me now?"Nina Anderson heard Miss Luna's voice. She shocked to hear their conversations. She reached near the door to see what is happening outside.

Miss Luna was standing in the middle of the group of people.

"Hey, girl! What are you speaking? They are your elders. How can you be such mannerless to the elders?I ....I am ashamed to get a daughter like you."A man slapped Miss Luna and said. He is Miss Luna's father.

Nina Anderson wanted to go out and save her from the cruel people outside, but she could understand that it would be dangerous for her as well as for Miss Luna. So, she decided not to involve her in that for now.

"Please don't hit her. She is sick. Her hand is also fractured. Please let her go. Please darling! Calm down please."Nina Anderson heard Luna's mother.

"How can not I hit her? Look what she had done? She disappeared suddenly when it was her turn to serve the villagers. N... Now look, she even came back as a cripple! Now, do you know what are the consequences these? Would they let us go this time easily? How can I calm down?"Miss Luna's father said sadly.

"Father, don't scold sister. She is sick. We will find a way surely. Please calm down, father."It was Lily, Miss Luna's sister.

"Yes. Please leave us alone. My daughter is sick. We will be at the meeting tomorrow. Please leave now. She needs some rest ."Miss Luna's mother said loudly.

"Ok. We are leaving now. Be there in time. We need to discuss. the matter."The villagers said and left.

"Luna, Are you fine?"Luna's mother asked worriedly. Luna nodded.

"Sister, don't worry everything will be fine. We are with you."Lily said and hold her hand.

Luna smiled and entered the house. Her father went out for a walk. He needed some time to calm down.

"Luna, are you ok?"Nina Anderson asked worriedly.

"Yes. Let us go to my room. Lily, she is Nina, my friend. Nina, she is my little sister Lily."Luna said with a smile.
