Chereads / Darling, Don't Run Away! / Chapter 3 - I Wanna Go Home!

Chapter 3 - I Wanna Go Home!

"Oh, my tray almost empty," Luna said as one person from the party took the second glass in her tray and left her with only one glass. She then walks back to the kitchen to fill up the tray with the glass.

As a party waitress, she needs to ensure that her tray needs to always full of the glass. From the party tonight, she could see that this family sure is a big family and they have many friends too. All of them from the high-class socialites that she never saw before.

Maybe they live far away from here like at the central city where all the richest and the elite society live. She tries to not dig more about it and just want it to be over soon. She put the tray on the marble counter table and took out another bottle of champagne from the cupboard.

Carla is now in charge of the food, so she doesn't see her in the kitchen as they busy at the banquet table, serving them the delicious dessert at the garden beside the living hall.

While she tries to open the bottle of Dom Perignon, the cork flew and drop under the marble table. She put the bottle on the table and squatted down to find the cork which just falls under the table.

Gasp!

She almost screams when her eyes met with someone under the table. He curled up and stare at her face, looking scared like she's gonna eat him alive. He looks so scared that Luna frowned and slowly she trails her eyes to the man in front of her.

He is the same man she saw which sit on the 'throne-like-seat' in the middle of the living hall before! But, why is he here? His exclusive tailored suit will be crook and dirty if he stays here.

With no word at all coming from him and he looks all fidgeting and uncomfortable, Luna finally decides to speak up first.

"I'm sorry sir if I startled you. But, why are you hiding here, sir?" She asks softly while looking at the man.

He did not answer her, but he shook his head with fast and that makes Luna frowned again. "Uh- I'm sorry if my question hurt your feelings."

Panic seeing him shaking his head like that, she holds both of his shoulders and tries to stop him from shaking his head. "Are you afraid of me? I'm sorry. Please, don't shake your head like that or it'll hurt your neck later."

She tries to persuade the man to stop his action. With her gentle voice, the man stops and stare at her again. It was the first time he stares at someone's eyes longer than before. It captivates him to see her beautiful green's eyes.

"I-I-I wanna g-go home." He stammering and avert his eyes back to the floor. Hugging both of his knees tightly.

Luna is taken aback and look around the kitchen. She sees nobody here except her and that man. She doesn't know anyone from this party too except for Carla. She bet Carla also did not know who this man is. So, how does she want to help him to return to his home?

"Uh- where's your family? Or your chauffeur? I can call them to send you home." She turns her head to look at the man again.

"I-I w-wanna go home." He tugs his hands to her sleeves. His eyes almost teared up and he looks so scared. He just like a little kid who doesn't want to be here and abandon by his parent.

"Um- I understand. But, I-"

"I wanna go home!!!" He starts to shout at her. His loud voice makes her jolt her body and she accidentally hit her head to the table.

Bam!

Prang!! The champagne bottle she put on the table fall on the floor and it makes a loud sound despite the man's voice before.

"Aarghhhhh!!!!!"

Luna turns pale. Her face lost its color and she doesn't know why that man suddenly screaming out loud like its the end of his life.

"H-hey, calm down. It just a bottle of glass." She tries to hold him from kicking his feet on the floor and knocking his head with his hands. His screaming sound makes her ear feel like it gonna bleed soon.

"Calm down sir. I will clean it up, please..calm dow-"

"What the hell is happening here?!!" Another deep voice yet so dangerous echoed through the house.

Again, she was startled and she almost faint from hearing the shouted voice. Her body starts to tremble with the thought that she might gonna end up in jail or worse, dead.

"I'm so sorry sir." She immediately stands up and few men who have a great build body brush her over and pull the man from under the table.

The middle aged-man who she assumes around her father's aged give her a deathly glare before he averts his eyes to man under the table. "Bring him back to his room." The fierce man said again.

Luna steps aside and saw two men holding his hand and another man injecting him with a sedative, perhaps? They also took out a white rope to tied up his hand and feet.

The man slowly looks at her with pitiful faces, like asking her to help him out of that situation. Indeed, Luna's heart feels like its the worst way to treat him like that. He looks so helpless. She wants to help him, but she doesn't want to lose her life either.

Her eyes a bit teary when he finally loses his conscious and two men from before carefully carry him and they leave the kitchen area.

Turn to look at the kitchen entrance, she saw many of the people from the party already gather there and some of them give her a cold glance. The fear in her heart starts to rise again when she could feel the deadly gaze from her side.

"You! What did you do to my son?!" A woman voice echoing through the kitchen hall. This time, there is an arrogant-looking woman who is standing next to the fierce man.

Feeling so afraid, she kneel down and said in trembling voice. "He-he.." she lost her word. Blank for a moment. What exactly happens? Why did he suddenly scream?

What did she do to make him act like that? What reason should she give to his parent, now? Oh my god! What did I do?? her tears flowing down, don't know what reason should she give. Everything went so fast and she doesn't even know why did the man scream like that.

"Barbara, don't blame others when it was your fault for not taking care of your son properly." A gentle yet firm voice from behind the fierce couple makes Luna lift up her chin and look at the woman who backing her up.

Her eyes lit a bit when she saw the old lady from before. The old lady smiles at her and offers her, her hand to stand up again. Took her hands, Luna still lowered her head, not brave enough to see the people who gave her a cold gaze.

"Mother, we all saw that the girl tries to harm our son and the glass scattered on the floor here is the proof-."

"Hm? Are you sure it was her doing and not your son?"
