I'm Only the Second Wife
Episode 27's
Lia was surprised not because of the luxurious restaurant, but because the restaurant looked so quiet that even all the lights in the restaurant were off.
Lucas took her hand to take her step but she refused.
"Are you not in the wrong place? It looks like this restaurant is closed" said Lia
"I'm not in the wrong place, let's give me your hand" Lucas asked
"But...."
Suddenly Lia was startled by the bright light from the lamp that was heavily highlighting the two of them.
Hand in hand they stepped forward and the door of the restaurant automatically opened when they were right in front of him.
Lia is getting confused but he tries to cover her up from Lucas.
As soon as Lia stepped into the restaurant one by one the lights began to light up along with the accompaniment of piano music played.
Lia was stunned and speechless.
Because in it is not only a beautiful decoration but also decorated photos of his childhood photos while with Lucas.
Lia looked at Lucas with a questionable gaze, Lucas replied with just a smile.
Lucas continues to lead Lia to the available seats.
Lucas pulls out a chair and lets Lia sit down.
When Lia with a thousand perplexities wanted to ask Lucas flicked his finger 3x then before long the servants came.
The waiter arrives with a warm chocolate drink and Lia's favorite vanilla desert.
The aroma is so strong and delicious wrapped in a luxurious appearance.
Lucas asks her to drink it, but Lia refuses.
"Is this Lucas?... Did you prepare this?" Ask Lia
"Yes, I purposely prepared this place specifically for the both of us. Don't you like it?"
"This place is so beautiful, and where did you get all our childhood photos from?"
"I told you, there's not a single thing that I'd throw away from all our moments. Including these photos"
Lia took a photo of him nearby.
A picture of him playing with his beloved cat.
Happy, moved into one. A shadow about all his childhood now appears in his mind including about the mother.
Lia was unable to express her feelings, she was only able to speak with tears running down her cheeks.
"No tears tonight, I don't want to see any more sadness crying"
Lucas wiped his tears
"It's not a sad cry, it's a happy cry" Lia replied
"If you are happy, smile. Dead we enjoy tonight with a smile..."
Lia nodded and wiped the remaining tears on her cheeks.
He then began to eat and drink what Lucas had prepared.
It looks perfect and so does the taste.
Lia liked it so much that she shook her head while enjoying it.
Lucas then reached out his hand to invite Lia to dance.
Lia initially did not want to because his legs still hurt, but Lucas convinced him that by dancing the pain in his legs will disappear.
They dance to romantic music.
They dissolve in a romantic atmosphere until the pain in Lia's legs is no longer felt.
And at the end of the dance Lucas took something out of his pants pocket.
A white ring box.
Lucas opened it and sat down on his knees in front of Lia.
Lia had no idea that Lucas would propose to her tonight.
Lia then remembered her childhood when Lucas said goodbye to move from Bali.
Little Lia who was crying at that time because she did not want Lucas to go to give a twin ring with the initials of the letter L.
One he put on himself and the other he gave to Lucas.
"Please promise me that one day you will come back to me" said little Lia while wearing her ring.
Lucas nodded before he left.
"I promise, someday when I'm big and successful I'll come back and replace this ring with a nicer and more expensive one" Lucas replied
And sure enough, Lucas fulfilled it tonight by giving a diamond ring which is certainly nicer and more expensive.
"Will You Marry Me...." Lucas
Lia could not answer him, she just remained silent with tears flowing.
His eyes seemed to be full of questions, even until Lucas repeated his words Lia remained silent.
"I beg you to answer me" Lucas asked
With tears in his eyes, a wide smile began to expand on his lips.
With certainty Lia nodded which meant that she received a proposal from Lucas.
Lucas then put the ring on Lia's ring finger and hugged her tightly.
Lia then returned Lucas' embrace and shed all her tears on Lucas' field chest.
Lucas held onto Lia's cheek and looked at her fixedly
"Why are you crying?"
"I'm happy, I'm very happy. This is a happy cry" Lia replied then hugged him back.
It was a night that will never be forgotten.
*****
In Singapore, Mr. Arman is now slowly improving.
The virus in his throat that initially had to be operated on is now needed again.
Because with a very modern treatment and supported by sophisticated tools all slowly improve.
But until now doctors still do not allow him to go home, because it is still in fear that the virus will grow again.
So it is still necessary to continue doing routine checks.
Dika and his wife faithfully always want to accompany Mr. Arman.
By putting aside their work in order to prioritize the treatment of Mr. Arman.
That afternoon Mr. Arman's mood was good, Dika invited him to go out of the room and enjoy the fresh breeze in the hospital garden.
Dika ventured to ask about Lucas and Viona's marriage.
"Are you sure you didn't choose to marry Lucas to Surya's daughter?"
"You mean what Dika" asked Mr. Arman
"Yes, I mean, you know, Lucas himself strongly rejected this marriage. But for the sake of her brother she wants to get married"
Mr. Arman was silent and looked at the big tree whose leaves were falling.
"I don't know, at the end of this every time I ask Viona about Lucas looks like Lucas is depressed. I often feel that I'm evil because I feel more about my best friend than my own son"
Dika actually wanted to tell Viona about Mr. Arman, how his association, his free life, but he did not want his brother to increase the burden of thought until finally his condition will drop.
"It's not too late brother, brother can still fix this. Because this concerns the future life of my own brother's son"
Mr. Arman nodded
"I want to go home soon and see firsthand how Lucas's household is doing. I want to know firsthand whether my choice for my son is good or not" he said.
