"I'm really emotional seeing you and Fandy doing this weird hiccup. I thought you and her, you had a kiss," murmured Lucia. He spoke without meeting Rei.
Rei was quite surprised by what was ejected from Lucia's mouth. He just did not understand why Lucia could think like that.
"Why do you think so? Is it because you keep thinking about the article, so you're suspicious of me and Fandy having a relationship?"
"Just be honest. Yes, I think so. Moreover, first, since our last meeting, you suddenly couldn't contact me at all for three days. Then second, when I want to talk to you, you seem to avoid me. Just this morning you were even late and uncharacteristically late, then when the bell rang you suddenly rushed away as if not wanting to spend time with me, and the third, was, I suddenly saw you with Fandy in the back of the school."
Lucia looked up before continuing her sentence. "How could I not suspect you?"
"Let me explain everything to you slowly. At our last meeting, I had an accident and my phone was gone…"
"What?! You're accident? S...really? Where are the wounded? What's that blistering?" Lucia cut off Rei's words, panicked and immediately checked his lover's body to make sure there were no serious injuries to his body.
"You don't have to worry because it was just a little accident, and I'm fine." Rei tried to calm down.
"Thank God. So that's why you can't call me?" Lusia heaved a sigh of relief.
"Yes. I actually bought a new phone and I was going to call you, but I really don't remember your number, Heru, Gloria, or any of your other friends. So I haven't told you at all.…"
"…Then the reason why I was late today was because my cousin had an accident while going to his office. His family lived out of town and I was close to him, so I came to help him even though I was late for school.…"
"M.. You mean, the man who tried to harm you was…"
"Fandy. He didn't accept you being with me, so he thought of a way that I could part with you. One way is to make me wretched. I was almost about to hit him, but I held back from not wanting to make you anxious."
"A. I really didn't know the problem was this complicated. I really asked for ma…"
Without warning first. Rei pulled his nape, stuffing his mouth with his lips.
Lucia surprised. He was petrified for a moment, before being swept away in the kiss Rei gave him.
Not just stay quiet. Lucia replies to every kiss Rei makes.
Lucia pushed Rei's chest as she began to feel unable to anymore. The two were once again silent with eyes clashing against each other on such a close road.
"It's just a way for you to stop saying the word 'sorry, '" whispered Rei.
Lucia's face blushed. He was completely at a loss for words to respond to Rei's words.
One fact that he knew, indeed the way he did managed to make him stop saying the word 'sorry.'
Lucia turned her face away.
