[Wrong Human!]
[Wrong Human!]
[Break The Hug!]
[Withdraw Now!]
Those warnings immediately shrieked her that Luna almost pushed the guy to the floor.
"Ohohoho," Getting back on his foot as she held his hand to support, the timid guy smiled and scratched his head, feeling the same awkwardness which Luna was going through!
His coy smile almost embarrassed her that she didn't wanted to waste any more minute standing in front of him. Taking her bag, she bowed to him and ran out without paying the bill.
"HEY!" The guy shouted and rushed out, but Luna sure did vanish from that area.
Reaching the empty street, she sat down, extremely tired considering the 'run-aways' she managed to do today!
"Offf, that was close." Taking a few long breaths, she got up, her legs almost drained out on that sunny day.
Glad that the system did issue warnings or else she wasn't sure if there would be a kissing scene just to complete that side quest and gain those special rewards!
"I have to stay indoors for a week or else I might as well die, embarrassing myself everyday like today!" She mumbled walking straight towards the main road.
Reaching the pavement, she looked around for any mobile shops and the Samsung Board relieved her. Walking to the shop on the other end of the road, Luna took a few more breaths before wearing her mask.
Buying the newest model along with many more accessories, she waited for the staff to install a few things along with the sim card and once done, Luna walked out. Searching for a restaurant nearby through GPS, she ended at the McDonalds, her mind jiggering whether to go in or not!
"Huh, I am not an actress anymore! So, I can eat all I want!" Walking inside, she ordered everything to her heart's content and sat at the corner!
'To complete this mission, I need to hug 9 more people.' Luna thought, gobbling the chicken piece and her thoughts just widened bringing everything that would help her to fulfil this mission.
'I need to be careful with the people who speak to me! Everyone cannot be close to her!' And in between this train, the few people who would be really close to Hazel, ie her parents came to her mind.
"Hmm, I should meet them!" Dusting off her hands, she ate fully filling her tummy and drank the whole glass of cola in one gulp.
Taking out her resume, she located the residence address and booked a cab which arrived in the next 10 minutes.
Reaching the area, Luna gulped looking at the small house with veranda as big as a playground. And when she peeked through the gate, a woman, in her mid-forties sighted at the window, mostly washing the dishes.
Looking at the family picture Hazel posted years back, Luna peeked again at the woman and she was sure her mother!
"Come on, Luna! You can do this!" Fisting her hands and taking a few deep breaths, she walked inside and entered the house.
"Mo," Shaking her head at the thought of addressing her as mom, she just mumbled in a tire voice, "I am back home!"
"You are back." The lady came out of the open kitchen wiping her wet hands with the apron around her waist!
'Yes, you need to do that!' Boosting her strength, Luna rushed towards her and hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much! And sorry for making you worry!"
[Congratulations, 100 EXP is added into your account!]
Luna grinned at the message still tightly hugging her NEW mother!
"Are you drunk?" Holding her shoulders, Harriet sniffed smelling no alcohol around.
One more round of embarrassment!
"No, why?" Luna asked stepping back and she slapped her shoulder.
"Ahhh, then why do act like that!" Walking to the kitchen, Harriet added, "You show off your love only when you drink!"
"Come eat!" Placing the dishes on the four chaired dining table, Harriet sat waiting for Hazel to take her seat!
Even though her stomach was bloating out, that homely smell just dragged her to sit. Filling her plate, Harriet added, "Eat. I am sure you might be starving hell!"
Luna smiled taking the plate, that motherly love was something new for her to experience. Tasting every bit of dishes, she grinned gobbling everything her mouth could.
"Look at you!" Wiping the corner of her lips with the back of her hand, Harriet smiled as Luna continued to eat with that silly smile.
"Tell me, now!" Passing her the glass of water, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Luna just drank the water avoiding the eye contact.
"You were never this sweet and quirky!" Harriet added crossing her hands on the table.
"I just understood how aloof I was to you in the past few days! So, I will try to be a good daughter from today!" Luna smiled waiting for her to get emotional with the touching lines she just said!
"Something is really off!" Harriet commented. Taking her completely cleaned plate, she added walking back to the kitchen counter, "Take a day off and visit a psychiatrist!"
Luna could only sigh in failure. Her acting skills were good only behind the screens. Nothing seems to be working here in real life!
"By the way, where were you all these days?" Harriet asked while washing the plate.
"Ohh, yes! I was assigned to a crime scene. A husband murdered his wife and announced it as suicide but I was able to bring out the truth! Our channel was the first to unfold this news!" Luna blurted out with a confident smile.
Turning off the tap, Harriet turned around and questioned in confusion, "When did interns started getting such important cases? Specially in AP news!"
'Ahh, darn it! I forgot I was an intern!'
"And didn't your internship end last week?" She asked as Luna sat there searching for a hole to burry under! Why was she failing, the every step she took today as Hazel were all going into the trash can, one after the other!
"It's because my seniors consider me as a gem! They gave this mission to test my ability and I passed, I got a permanent job in AP News!" Luna blurted out whatever came to her mind!
"Really? That's unbelievable!" Harriet commented walking back to the table.
[Skills Identified!]
[Lying, Grade-0!] The system beeped worsening her already wrecked mood!
"Ohh, yeah! Your baby boy as been awfully dull in your absence! Go and meet him!" Smiling, Harriet gestured at a particular room which of course seemed hers. Patting her shoulder, she walked back to the kitchen counter to prepare something for herself as Luna didn't leave anything behind!
'OMG, she already as a baby!' Luna thought, the surprise soon turning into shock!
'Gosh, that means I am a mother?'
'I never had my first night as Luna and a mother now as Hazel!' She cried closing her eyes in resentment!
Taking a few deep breaths, Luna walked towards the room. Opening the door, she searched for a cradle which didn't fit in that room.
'Maybe he is hiding somewhere?' Thinking the same, she peeked below the bed and her eyes widened as something came out from beneath.
It barked for her worst nightmare coming true!
Luna never liked dogs and her anxiety would build at their site!
[Caution, Dogs can see through a soul]
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
The system as well as Luna screamed at the same time as she ran outside with her 'Baby Boy' chasing her around! And it was her fourth 'run-away' for the day!
