The Lost Luna Is In Our Midst (Moon Goddess)

“Hmm…. Hmm, well, she just said that her father is the best,” Ella blushed, her cheeks burning red as she spoke, She could feel Cory’s gaze at her, and the fact that he was closer to her was not helping the matter at all.

“She must have forgotten to add that her mother is the kindest, caring, loving, and most beautiful woman in the whole universe, ” Cory said softly, his lips dancing as he spoke.

“Cory, you don’t have to sound so cheesy, ” Ella scolded him with her shy face.

“Oh really! Ah ah ahh ahhh ahhh!” Cory laughed merrily, “Why are you so red, are you perhaps feeling heat? Or are my words naturally hot?” He asked, still laughing.

“Nay man, ain’t you going to work today? ” Ella asked, trying to change the topic.

Although Cory knew that she wanted to change the topic, he decided to play along with her.

“Am not going to work, I want to spend time with my new family, ” he replied passionately. Although a sad look was in his eyes, he was quick to smile.

“Oh really, that is so nice of you. I hope you aren’t expecting any visitors, probably your mother, sister, brother, or even friends?” Ella asked, She was worried because she didn’t want to greet anyone, and she didn’t want to be questioned either.

“Visitors? Mother? Sister? Friends? Hmmm, ” Cory sighed, “Look here Ella, I don’t have a mother, sister, brother, or even father, and neither do I have a friend,” he replied harshly, his voice filled with anger, hatred, and regrets.

“Oh! ” Ella sighed sadness in her eyes. “I thought I was your friend, but never mind, ” she murmured with a sad tone, She turned to the little girl; baby Luna stared at her curiously, blinking her eyes, her mouth was also pouted.

Luna looked at her mother, On noticing her sad expression, she smiled broadly, and Ella also felt the urge to smile; it was a feeling she had no control over.

“Ella, I didn’t mean it that way, You are my first and real friend, ” Cory said, looking remorseful, his voice sounded sad, and his countenance was that of regret.

It was at that moment that the urge overpowered Ella, and she burst into laughter, holding her belly tightly as she laughed, Baby Luna also joined her in laughing.

Cory was surprised, as well as confused; “What is so funny? ” he asked himself a rhetorical question.

Nonetheless, he joined them in laughing, not wanting to be left out.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

The house was lively, as the family of three; father, mother, and daughter all laughed happily, forgetting all about their pains and troubles.

“You guys are my real family, ” he spoke out after their laughter died down.

“You are also my family, I love you all, and I am glad to be a member of this small family, ” Ella confessed Her voice was cracking as she spoke, and she was moved to tears.

“I love you more, I mean we love you more, ” Cory assured her, and they both stared at each other passionately.

“I, I la la au, ” baby Luna babbled, as she smiled at her parents, Her eyes glowed like the bright moon.

“Oh wow! ” Cory exclaimed, As he stared at Baby Luna, his mouth was widely opened in shock.

“My baby girl’s eyes are glowing! ” Cory opened his mouth in shock.

“Hmm, well, I can’t see it glowing, You are probably seeing things, ” Ella said quickly, She was alert.

“But I can…. ”

“Cory, can you please open the windows and the door, I am feeling the room heat, ” Ella pleaded with a baby doll smile.

“Oh, okay, ” Cory stood and headed for the small door, “I was probably hallucinating, ” he reasoned to himself.

Ella brought out the chain and quickly waved her fingers at it, Light sparks came out of the chain and a name appeared on it.

“This will protect you from danger, and it will hide your power, ” she whispered to the little smiling girl.

“Oh, that’s the chain! Wow! ” Cory smiled from where he stood, he pushed the windows open, allowing the bright skylight into the room.

“M mo moo! ” Little Luna cried excitedly as she stared at the sky from her basket bed.

“Oh, it seems my little princess wants to see the moon,” Cory laughed at his own words, “Don’t worry little girl, on the next full moon, we shall go see the moon rising together, ” he said and walked closer to the baby basket.

“Look,” Ella handed the chain to him, “it has a name on it, ” she said with a smile on her face.

“Luna Queen, ” Cory murmured in disbelief, After a few silent seconds, he handed the chain back to her.

“Yes, Luna Queen, I saw that same name on the forest floor yesterday, Her blanket also has the same name description; so I guess her name is Luna Queen,” Ella explained, holding onto the chain carefully.

“Luna Queen, Ella, I think we should not tell Luna that we found her in the forest, Let her believe that we are her biological parents, ” Cory suggested, Although he sounded greedy, he said it because he wanted to protect his baby girl. He does not want her to grow up, with the idea that she was abandoned.

“Anything you say, ” Ella agreed with a slight nod, A smile was on her face, and she felt drawn to Cory the more.

Sadly this happy moment didn’t last for long, because her belly growled in hunger, and she was embarrassed.

“I guess you are already hungry, ” Cory smiled romantically.

“Well yes, not really, ” Ella gritted her teeth, It was as though her belly wanted to expose her because it growled again, but this time around, it growled louder.

“Ah Ahh Ahh! Your little lie is exposed! ” Cory laughed at her. “Anyway, what would you like to eat?” he asked politely.

“I will cook,” Ella proposed, She didn’t want to be a burden to him.

“Don’t bother, just bathe for our little girl, ” Cory said with a smile on his face.

“Oh, okay, in that case, you can prepare hot peppered soup for me, thanks, ” Ella appreciated him.

“Okay, you’re welcome, ” Cory nodded and left the room, passing through the small door, he entered the kitchen.

Ella carefully carried the smiling Luna from her little basket bed, With a light movement, she put the newly turned diamond necklace around the little girl’s neck.

Ella moved near the window, She looked out of the window and saw a bright and lively village. Children and adults walking in and out of their houses and huts, all of a sudden, she was a…..
