...***...
As planned, Cato takes Lucia to the park for a walk. Once there, they took a short walk around the park until finally they decided to take a short break on one of the empty benches. Cato sat the joyful looking Lucia on the wooden bench.
"How's streets? Do you like it?" cato asked as he glanced at the girl who was now sitting right next to him. Smiling, Lucia nodded her head in response.
"Then, how about every weekend we do this? We go for a walk with the others. We'll take Derek, and Joe, too."
"really? I want!" Lucia spoke enthusiastically. The idea that Cato spoke of was a good idea for him. Cato smiled, his hand slowly rubbing the top of the girl's head full of tenderness.
"From next week we do, huh? Oh yeah, by the way are you thirsty? Grandpa wants to buy a drink first. Lusia it's okay to wait here for a while while taking a break?"
"Can't I just come?"
"You're still tired, so just sit here. It won't be long, the place isn't far either. There!" Cato pointed to one of the beverage machines that was not too far away from where they were. "Don't go anywhere, huh?"
"Alright," replied Lucia. Immediately after getting permission from Lucia, Cato immediately moved to the existing beverage machine. He was not too anxious to leave Lucia alone because in the park there were so many people passing by, so he thought everything would be fine. He also only left for a while.
"Hi sweet girl!" greet a man who had just come to him. Lucia looked up as soon as she heard someone greeting her. As soon as he turned to check, a man in a clown costume was standing right nearby carrying several balloons. The clown smiled at him.
Instead of being shocked or scared, Lucia's focus is precisely stuck on a character-shaped hot air balloon held by the clown. Both of his eyes were staring at that thing.
The clown who noticed Lucia staring at the balloon said, "You want this?"
The man held out a balloon towards Lucia. The girl once again remained silent while looking at the balloon which was now right in front of her.
"Get it. It's for you, it's free" said the clown, drawing Lucia's hand and asking the boy to hold it.
"Well, balloons." Lusia stared at the balloon in her grasp. His expression turned happy once he realized the man had given him a balloon.
"You like it? If you like, I can give you more balloons as long as you come with me." The clown smiled back at him. But Lucia who did not understand the sentence she spoke could only stare at the clown with a confused expression. Until then the clown again reached out his hand and clasped Lucia's wrist.
"Come on!" he said while pulling Lusia slowly. Without rejection or rebellion, Lucia immediately got off the bench and walked after the clown who had given her the balloon. They stepped out of the place, out of the crowd.
