Lu[C]Ka Love
16. COMPETITION (2)

Lucki was still stunned in disbelief to see Lucka who suddenly came to the room of Love. He sat down on a park bench and thought about many things.

I just got to know him. Why does my heart hurt to see him with Lucka? That girl is my sister's fiancee. There's no way I...

"Luckie? What are you doing here? It's past curfew."

"Hey, Tom. You alone? Why is it still outside?"

"Today is my schedule for patrolling."

"So you're a security person too?"

"No. It's just a backup task. You better get in! I don't want you to get in trouble later."

"Can we talk?" ask Lucki.

"Can. We'd better go to your room."

Lucki and Tommy head to Lucki's room. He wanted to tell her his heart.

"Since when has Lucka been close to Love?" Ask Lucki without making small talk.

"Near?! They don't look close." Tommy frowned.

"So I saw Lucka enter the room of Love. And it seems like he hasn't come out yet."

"What?! Lucka went to the room of Love? That's impossible!"

"I saw it with my own eyes, Tommy. But, I don't know why I'm upset to see the closeness of the two of them."

"Lucki, don't tell me you--"

"I don't know, Tom. I just got to know the girl, but I don't know what happened to my heart. She's a good girl. And cheerful. He's always laughing. I like it when he smiles."

"No, Lucki. Don't do anything stupid a second time." Tommy patted Lucki's shoulder.

"You better rest. I'll go back to check on the state of the mansion." continued Tommy.

"Yes. Thank you for listening to my story."

...***...

The next day, Lucka wakes up on the couch in Love's room. The room looks empty. Lucka glanced at his watch. Five o'clock this morning.

The girl must have woken up, and she was watering the garden. Her thought.

Lucka picked up his shirt and suit, then stepped out of the room of Love. He went to his room with a sling. He didn't want anyone else to know about his time with Love last night. Enough of his brother knows.

"Luck!"

That was Tommy's voice. Lucka turned to Tommy.

"What have you done in the room of Love?" Tommy asked while folding his hands.

"Nothing! We're just--" Lucka can't go on with the sentence.

Tommy shook his head. "Yes already. Go get ready for jogging. I'll wait for you."

"Yes, fine."

"And I hope you don't do the no-no to Love." Tommy breezes out from in front of Lucka.

"No-no?! Whatdoes thatmean? Huh! You're you!" Lucka grumbled as he clenched his fist at Tommy who was behind him.

...***...

"Hi, Love!" greet Lucki while Love is watering the flowers.

"Hi, Brother. Good morning." Good morning."

"Morning too. Here I help!"

"Oh, please."

"Umm, Love---"

"Yes?"

Lucki seemed confused to continue his sentence. 

"What's up, brother?" tanya Love looked at Lucki.

"Evening I .. I saw Lucka coming to your room."

"Ah that? I also don't know why he suddenly came to my room. Brother take it easy, we didn't do anything bad anyway, hehehe." Love answered casually.

Lucki laughed a little. "Bad thing? What do you think I'm thinking?"

"We're just playing cards. That's right, Brother! Oh yeah, I'll move the flush over there. Brother please come over here huh!"

Love, I'm starting to like you...

And again, Lucka felt threatened by the closeness of Love and her sister. She saw there was intimacy going on between her brother and Love. He does not want to linger to be a spectator of their closeness. He went back to running and put a headset on his ear. He did not want to hear the slightest laughter released Love with his brother.

...***...

That afternoon after the Love training class was over, Lucki met him in the study room.

"Lho's? Brother Lucki? What are you doing here?"

"I was waiting for you on purpose."

"What's up, brother?"

"Come with me. I'll introduce you to someone."

"Eh? Who?"

"Udah come along. You know later."

Without a second thought, Love accepts Lucki's invitation. Love has not been out of the house for a long time. It needs fresh air so that it does not feel tired.

They're headed to a famous college campus. Love knows this place. This is the campus of Lala, her best friend, and also Reno, her upperclassman. 

Love is starting to panic. He was afraid in case he met Reno here. But, Reno would not dare to approach him again. Especially love's here with Lucki. The one whose face was very similar to Lucka's. Surely Reno would have thought that Lucki was Lucka.

Lucki invites Cinta to an office that reads 'Rectorate'. Love scrunched his forehead.

Where is Brother Lucki going to take me anyway?

"Sister, where are we going?" Ask for love in the end.

"Till in a minute."

Love does not ask anymore. He followed where Lucki was walking. Until finally they arrived in a room that is quite spacious, and met with a receptionist.

"Good day, Mrs Lucki. Want to find a Professor?"

"Yes, Mother. She exists?"

"Wait inside, Mom. The professor has a teaching class. It's over soon."

"All right, thank you. Come on Love, let's go in!"

Love enters a room that reads 'Chairman of the Council', then sits in the living room with Lucki.

"Sister, what are we doing here?"

"Umm, I'll tell you. Do you remember the professor I told you about? Who helped me stay in college even though I wasn't here."

"Yes, I remember. Don't-don't...?"

"This is his office."

"Don't want to see him or...?"

"Luck!" A white-haired, well-dressed man came to Lucki and Love.

Lucki stood up as the professor walked towards him.

"Professor..." Lucki hugged the professor.

"It's good to see you here" said professor Gerald.

"Oh yes, Prof, introduce this Love."

Gerald seemed to frown. "He...?"

"She's Lucka's fiancee" replied Lucki.

"Aahhh, hello. Greetings. I'm Gerald, Lucki's grandfather." Gerald extended his hand to Love.

"Eh? Grandpa?" The turn of Love that frowns.

"Yes, my mother's grandfather" replied Lucki.

"Ooh, thats... Greetings too, Cake."

"I'm sorry, grandfather couldn't come on your engagement day with Lucka. Grandpa's not here."

"It's okay, Cake." Love gives you the best smile.

And the three of them had a casual conversation in Gerald's office.
