Aluna's Love Wound

Aluna was on the way to campus. She was well known as Aluna Mentari, 21 years old, she was a medical student, and she has a friend called Fatma. She was riding her motorcycle that always accompanied her wherever she went. “Today, there is an exam from Mr Anton. He was known as a ‘killer lecturer.’ He has never killed a student. If he had done that, he would not have been a lecturer now. I wonder why a discipline lecturer, never smiling and strict with the rule, is called a killer lecturer. The killer is someone who kills people. I still don’t understand” Aluna’s inner voice along her way to campus. “That is not my problem.” She continued while watching the red light. Aluna had arrived at campus at 07.15, which means the exam would begin in fifteen minutes. There was enough time to study, so she had no time to prepare for the exam because she handled the cake shop. Aluna owned a cake shop that was started with Fatma. It had run for five months which was hard for Aluna

Aluna was in her tiny room. She was still thinking about the testament because her mother had never talked about it before. She’s not ready yet to get married to someone she didn’t know. It was a testament from her mother, but she had to live her life with a stranger on the other side. Aluna was standing in front of the picture of her mother, which was hung on the wall. She took the picture, “Why did mom choose him as my partner? I don’t even know him. I just want to get married to someone I love, mom”. Aluna was crying in front of her mother’s picture. Aluna’s phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Fatma. “Hallo, Fatma!” Aluna picked up the call. She tried to calm down before talking to Fatma. “Aluna, where are you now? We have many orders. I need your help.” Said Fatma in a rush. “Ok, I’ll be there soon!” said Aluna. She wiped her tears. “You have to be strong, Aluna. Don’t be sad because you have so many things to do today.” Aluna tried to

*** Today, Aluna woke up earlier because she had to prepare all the things that she need. Not much, it’s just a suitcase, and a box of books. Aluna was looking at her room, “I won’t leave this room, there are so many memories I spent with mom in this room. I won’t bring all my staff.” Yesterday, when Aluna got the message from Mr Marfel, she tried to wake up and convince herself that everything was going to be fine. She realized maybe it was the best for her. Maybe after the marriage she will love him. Aluna also had told Fatma that today the cake shop was close. She couldn’t work in this situation. Aluna didn’t forget to bring her special gift from her Mother, “I will always bring this necklace with me because this is the only thing I have.” Aluna says while looking at her necklace. It was a gift from her father before he died. In a different place, Zolan was holding his Father’s hand in the Hospital. He’s consoling his father by tell

Aluna folded the white paper in her hand. She was shocked after reading five points that welcome her arrival in this magnificent house. The room was too big for her to occupy alone. But what could she do, Aluna had to sleep here alone. "Alone again, it seems I was created to always be alone," Aluna thought, folding a small piece of paper and storing it in a ring box. Aluna stepped to sit in front of the mirror. Taking off the glasses she was wearing, freeing his hair from the tie, let it fall straight. Her eyes were closed, feeling the wind blowing against his body. He wanted a moment not to see the world. It's sad that fate had scratched it, it's not enough for a day to become a wife, and she had been shocked by the marriage rules made by Zolan. "Always alone, I've been alone since I was little! Mom is busy working to support me, until I can't fully get Mom's love. I'm not angry mom does it to make me happy with an affluent life. But as a child, I also need love!" A

"Miss Aluna, are you okay?" asked Aunt Sarti. She saw Aluna who kept looking at the floor. Food and plates were not formed."Yes, aunt, I'm fine!" said Aluna, wiping away tears. She was silent for a few minutes. Aunt Sarti had not moved from her place.Taking a breath, Aluna continued to say to Aunt Sarti, "Please, please clean everything, aunt!" She ran leaving aunt Sarti in the dining room. Sounds faint in the ears, Aunt Sarti replied, "Yes, Miss Aluna!" Aluna ran to the room.Aluna stood looking out the window, "Zolan, can't you treat me like a friend? I know you have to accept this arranged marriage! But this is not how you treat me!" softly. Tears kept rolling down her cheeks."Zolan, I won't just give up. I'll fight for you to be my friend. Don't think of me as a wife. I'm just a friend, that's enough for me," continued Aluna, not moving."I will try! Don't call me Aluna, if I give up easily!" she said encouragingly.***"Starti
