Hate to Get Married
Make a decision

Lucas received a call as he began to climb one by one the stairs to get to his room in quiet steps. At that time, the one who called him was Yoseph, his campus friend while studying in London and also his team-mate when he became an animator for several film projects in England which is quite famous.

“Lucas, when did you come back here?” Ask Joseph who sounded a little anxious.

“I don’t know, but, maybe I won't go back there again!” Lucas replied lightly.

“What?? What did you say??! Won't you come back??” Joseph sounded as if he could not believe what he had just heard.

“Yes, maybe.”

“Oh Bro please, Don’t!” Pinta Yoseph was hopeful.

“Why?”

“Bro, come on! You know the project that we live here is quite large and very promising in terms of material, there is no way you will leave the gold fields so right?”

“Yes, I know! But,,,” Lucas stopped for a moment, and somehow, suddenly he felt that he was already comfortable when he returned to his home country.

It was as if Lucas was completely reluctant to return to London, moreover, at the same time, there was a girl who managed to cause curiosity in Lucas towards him. The girl who is none other than Mitha, now without her knowing, she has managed to make a Lucas Armando, feel quite interested and curious half to die to him. It could happen because Mitha's attitude, Mitha's attitude that seemed so indifferent and determined to her, was completely other than the others, really, which all this time Lucas never experienced from other women he had met.

“But why, Bro??” Ask Yoseph.

“Entah, but I think I need time to think.” Lucas suddenly felt worried.

“Ok, please think again carefully, Bro. You have to remember, when you're here, how much money we've made when we successfully worked on an animation project. And if you don't come back here again, are you sure there you'll get the same income as here??? So please think about it!” Yoseph said he really hopes Lucas will return.

Yoseph did not know, if the Lucas family is a wealthy family, the owner of a company that is included in the list of the five most advanced and largest companies in his country. And Lucas, he did not intentionally tell about his family background when he migrated to London. Because for Lucas, there is no point in him telling his family's wealth to his friends in London, other than not wanting to be judged arrogant, it also aims to avoid people who want to use it only.

“Yes, I know! So let me think for a while, if I make a decision, I'll call you right away, ok?”

“Ok bro, but I still hope you stay back here. Ok, greetings to your family there yes, bye.”

“Bye.” Answer Lucas briefly who then immediately ends the call.

Lucas put his phone on the nightstand next to the bed, then he switched to the balcony in his room. He stood looking at the green foliage of the garden in front of his house, letting the breeze touch the surface of his skin that was clean enough for a man's size. Lucas was pensive, with a mind that returned to wandering freely as he pleased, without obstacles. The deeper he thinks, the more real the answers are given by his heart and mind.

“Nearly five years I lived alone in London, no family, no love, everyday just living the same routine, when the weekend can only be alone in the middle of the hustle and bustle of London is super busy. I made a lot of money, but when I got there I could only enjoy myself. My family? Hmm, they are already very rich, obviously will not need my money.” Lucas murmured in his heart and mind.

“If I go back there, it means I will go back to living the same life, the same routine, really monotonous and boring. But if I stay here, I can just work with papa, get together with the family, there's even a lot I can do here, especially with that woman, can keep making him sprain oh god, that's really very fun.” Lucas continues to chatter alone.

Lucas increasingly found answers to his concerns, but he did not want to immediately tell Joseph, he also intended to think about it a little longer, because he does not want to feel sorry for the decision that will have a big impact on his life and future.

Stopping there, Lucas finally quits his daydream and steps back into his room. He lay on his soft bed, somehow when he glanced at the cellphone, he suddenly recalled Mitha. He immediately grabbed his smartphone and re-opened Mitha's social media account.

His smile seemed to expand a little when he saw that Mitha had the latest update exactly an hour ago. In the update, Mitha seems to write:

Lucas who read the writing was immediately made to frown and a smile that is difficult to interpret.

“Oh wait, wait! Don't tell me he wrote this to insult me? Hahaha.” Chirps Lucas chuckles.

“Ah really, not wrong again, this must be about me, I'm sure the annoying person she means is me.” Lucas further developed his smile, as if completely satisfied when he found Mitha who confided about him on his social media.

“How dare he confide in me on his social media, am I really that special??” Lucas snorted and tilted his smile.

the evening

The dinner was peaceful as usual at the Ronald family residence, Lucas who had managed to finish his dinner first, started to stare at Ronald and said,

“Pa, finish dinner tonight, can we talk?” Ask in a calm manner,

“Talk?? Hmm sure.” Ronald answered with a faint smile.

"We talk in papa's office, yes, anyone wants to do it there."

"Ok pa, no problem." Lucas replied with a smile.

After a few minutes after dinner, Ronald immediately asked Lucas to come with him to his private office.

“Mama go up first to the room, papa want to chat with Lucas first.” Pinta Ronald on Nonna who was still sitting with Dara.

“Iya pa.” Nonna nodded and smiled sweetly.

“Why isn't he talking here anyway?!” Celtap Dara who was curious.

“His, it's a man's business, little boy sleep there!” Lucas replied casually.

Dara was growling annoyed because again called a small child by her brother.

Lucas also only chuckled before he finally began to follow Ronald's steps toward his study that was not far from the family room.

“What do you want to talk about with papa? Is this about our discussion this morning?” Ronald asked as he began to sit in his chair.

“Oh no, no! Not that pa!” Lucas sat down in the chair in front of his father's desk.

“Oh isn't it? Keep on about what?” Ronald was beginning to get curious.

“Hmm gini pa, if I stay here and do not return to London, what can I do?” Ask Lucas to the point, without further ado.

...Seriate…...
