"Lussia is just having a bad day" Gloria said.
"But it seems that he does not like my existence. From the very beginning, Lucia always spoke in a taut tone with me," Rei replied as he looked at Gloria.
Lusia glared at Rei's blatant speech.
Gloria chuckled in response to Rei's words. "It turns out he's conscious" he murmured softly.
"I kept quiet because I thought you were still embarrassed and awkward because of the first time we met that time, but after it passed it didn't seem like it."
Gloria and Lucia looked at him with shocked faces, whereas Heru looked confused by Rei's intentions.
"What happened when you first met?" tanyakanya. Rei. He was just about to reply, Lucia suddenly cut off his words.
"Nothing!" said it. His face turned red whenever he remembered the incident during their meeting in the corridor some time ago.
"You're mistaken, Rei. Lucia is often angry with you not because of that, but because there is something she hides from you..hmph.." Gloria's words were cut off when her best friend suddenly silenced her mouth.
"Your mouth really can't stand still" Lucia grumbled resentfully. Gloria's a real complainant, she thought.
"What are you hiding from me?" Rei's curious.
"Nothing! Don't listen to him. Gloria's the one who likes to talk!" answer Lucia ketus.
"seen? You always talk like this with me. What exactly is my fault with you? And what are you hiding from me?"
"Nothing!"
"You lied. I know you're lying. Tell me the truth why do you always talk to me?"
Brakk!
"Nothing! I told you there wasn't! Aish, suck! You are insensitive!" lusia shouted full of emotions. The girl pulled her tray and rushed away from there.
Rei was silent looking at the girl's departure. Since then he spoke softly, but what the girl did was just the opposite. He kept shouting and talking.
Rei sighed softly, his attempt to find answers ended in failure.
"I'm sorry for Lucia's attitude. He's a little grumpy, but he's actually nice. And the only reason he's acting like that is just to cover up his feelings for you."
"Feelings?" Heru and Rei turned simultaneously towards Gloria.
"Yes. Don't you remember what happened in Junior High?" Gloria meets Rei.
"MOM?" Repeated Rei who was taken by Gloria. "You mean.. Did you know me long ago?"
"Gosh, don't you remember? Well, it's outrageous, it's worth it that Lucia's been getting upset lately."
"I'm sorry, but I can't remember anything that happened in the past. In fact, I can't even remember who my parents were, where I came from, and what happened that made my memory disappear."
"Wait, you mean? You're amnesia?" Gloria tried to clarify the situation.
"Yes, at least that's what people believe. What happened between me and him in the past?"
"That's.." Gloria took a deep breath before finally explaining what happened between Rei, and Lucia during Junior High.
Rei and Heru listened carefully. They listened with serious facial expressions to every sentence that came from Gloria's mouth.
Rei was silent without a word as soon as Gloria finished.
