MOONLIGHT

Chapter 27: Lego And Lizard

For the n'th time, she heaved a deep sigh. It's crack of dawn and yes she's definitely lethargic but when she tries to shut her eyes, she's beneath the submersion of diversified theoretical instances of what if's.

"Ugh!" Mina groan again and help herself up, and for the n'th time afresh, she's heading towards the guest room.

It's a relief, it's reassurance of relaxation to her to catch an initial glimpse of Lalisa in her sernity of slumber. Automatically, she smiled. She's been in state of perturbation that maybe in the middle of her sleep Lalisa will need someone to soothe her or worst Lalisa will wake up just to cry and she's not there to console the latter.

The black circle beneath her eyes is the evidence that she haven't nap even an hour or half. She was startled when a cold hand tapped her bare shoulders.

"kkamjjagiya!!" Mina reacted holding her chest while catching her breath. Her mom chuckled seeing how she successfully startled her daughter.

While Mina is calming herself, her mom is observing her if she came inside the guest room and seeing the dark circles in her face, probably her daughter didn't sleep. Her mother smirked and Mina understood that teasing smirk.

"Mom, it's not what you're thinking." Mina softly spoke and playfully rolled her eyes.

"So, you found her?" Her mom questioned. Mina nodded but sadly smiled.

"She's with someone, Mom." Mina responded and her mother nodded then ruffle her hair.

Her mom didn't respond to that matter, as they are walking downstairs and decided to have a coffee together since they sincerely miss that kind of bond. Mrs. Sach can feel something, it's about at first she thought that Lalisa is interested in her daughter. The subtle and secret gazes of Lalisa at the dine, she's surely stealing glances at her daughter and she noticed it. They are at the right age enough to handle themselves especially their feelings, but if ever the two will become more than friends it's also fine to them especially they knew that Mina is searching for Lalisa for prosy time and Mina always do calligraphy the name "Pran" with a heart at the back pages of her notebooks.

After their short time in Seoul, Mina started to sketch a side profile of a barbie doll but they just ignored it and they never teased Mina regarding that. However that barbie doll that Mina habitually sketch is so familiar to them, isn't barbie anymore. It's looks like Pranpriya.

While they are conversing in front of their pool, Mina doesn't reply anymore and Mrs. Sach averted her eyes to her daughter who's mouth is a little parted and a small snore is escaping her mouth. She genuinely smiled. She's so proud of having Mina as their daughter, a perfect daughter that everyone wishes to have.

She entered the house and grab some blanket to cover her daughter, it's 6:16 in the morning and finally her daughter fell asleep. They talked about everything, Mina is honest and she loves to tell the happenings in her life to her family. Her mom confirmed that her daughter really loves the latter.

The ray of sunlight is barely hitting her face so it means someone's blocking it for her since her uncover leg is feeling hot due to the heat of the sun. Mina gently opened her eyes and the blindingly bright sun is welcoming her, she heard a soft chuckle and she force to open her right eye seeing a palm that is blocking the light that is hitting her face then followed by a barbie staring and cheekily smiling towards her, she genuinely smiled.

"Hi!" Lalisa greeted like a child.

"Are you doing this for so long?" Mina asked referring to Lalisa's hand that is blocking the sun.

Lalisa cheekily nod in confirmation.

"It's okay though, I don't have a heart to wake up a sleeping angel." Lalisa mumbled but whispered the last part.
