Lu[C]Ka Love
17. COMPETITION (3)

After meeting his Grandpa, Lucki asks Cinta to wait for a while around the campus garden. There is something to do in the administration room.

Love looking around the campus garden. He looked at the students and students who were sitting discussing their college assignments. Love smiles bitterly. He should have done the same with them.

It seems fun being a student. The huft! If only I could be like them...

While he was late in his daydream, there was something holding his wrist. Love is immediately awakened from his delusion. He rounded his eyes perfectly when he knew who had touched his hand.

"Lucka?!"

"What are you doing here?" asked Lucka with reddened eyes in anger.

"I-i-"

"Come with me! We're home!"

Lucka drags Love by holding her hands rough. Lucka took her to the campus parking lot.

"Luck!! Release!"

"Get in the car!" Lucka's orders.

Love is powerless to argue and get in the car.

"Road, Sir!" said Lucka coldly.

"Good, Master!"

The car started to drive off the campus. Love is silent on the journey.

DRRRRTTTTT DRRRRRTTT DRRRTTTT

Love's phone is vibrating. There's an incoming call. Love took his cell phone and it says Lucki's name there. He looked towards Lucka. He hesitated to answer a call from Lucki.

"Who's calling?" Ask Lucka cynically.

"Nobody." Love hid his phone in a bag.

Lucka knows something's wrong here. He immediately grabbed Love's bag and took his cell phone. Love has no power to take back her bag.

Lucka picked up the call from Love's phone. But he remained silent and listened to the caller speak.

"Hello, Love. You where? I'm looking for you in the park but nothing."

Lucka gritted his teeth. "Love with me!"

"What?"

Lucka guessed that her sister was dumbfounded at the moment to hear her voice.

"All right, then. Lucka, i---"

Tuuutt.

Lucka closes the call without hearing Lucki's explanation further.

Arriving at home, Lucka escorted Love to her room. Lucka still showed his angry expression.

The love that was treated harshly immediately denied Lucka.

"What are you doing?!" Tanya Love growled.

"I should ask, what are you doing there? Didn't I tell you never to leave this house without my permission!" Lucka started raising her voice.

"I went with your sister. Your brother! And I didn't do anything with him either. You don't have to be this angry!" Love also begins to be emotional.

"I'm like this because it's for the sake of the family's good name. So you better obey my orders!"

"I told you I didn't do anything to embarrass the family. So you don't have to talk rudely to me. Besides I only met your grandfather, your grandfather! If there's nothing more you want to say, you better get out of my room!"

Lucka could say nothing more and decided to leave Love alone.

Love curled up on her bed while hugging her knees. His eyes are getting hot. Tears were full of her eyes. This time she finally cried. She was crying again because of Lucka.

Alisa approached Nonanya who looked very sad.

"Miss--"

"Alisa, I want to ask you a favor."

"What Miss?"

"I want to be alone here. So please, no one goes into my room until tomorrow. For dinner tonight, please bring it to your room. You understand, right?"

Love returns with a smile. "Thank you, Alisa."

...***...

Meanwhile, Lucki who hurried home immediately met Lucka. They passed by in the northern mansion's garden.

"Lucka, what are you doing to Love?"

"What am I doing? I should have asked you, brother, what did you do with my fiancee?"

Lucki. "Your engagement? So now you've considered him your fiancee?"

"Sister! I won't say this again so listen carefully. Never take away love without my permission!"

"I'm sorry if I asked him without permission. But, we only met Gerald's grandfather. So you don't have to be this angry."

"Don't cross the line, brother! I'm more entitled to Love than you."

"Right? Then do you know how Love feels now? Have you ever cared a little about him? He wanted to take a walk in the fresh air to relieve his fatigue. Do you also know, he really wants to be able to continue his education like his friends. He is always sad if he remembers having to do his duty because of the agreement of his grandfather and our grandfather. Do you even know that?!" Lucki's reached his limit.

"Then why do you care so much about him, brother? He's my fiancee! It's none of your business whether he's sad or not. Or maybe you like it?"

Lucki. He wondered whether he would answer it or not. He's cornered now. Should he---?

"Take care of me, brother!" Lucka clenched his hand.

Lucki looked at his twin sister with a serious face. It felt as long as they grew up together, never once did they argue like this. Not before there was someone among them a few years ago. And now it feels like everything is repeating the past.

"Yes! I love Love!" Answer Lucki steady.

Everyone was stunned to hear Lucki's statement. Tommy who was there could not hide his surprise.

Lucka did not respond to her sister's statement. And let her brother go.

"I think you've gone too far, Lucka." Tommy said before he left Lucka.

Tommy chases after Lucki who is headed for his room.

"Luck!" call Tommy.

"What's up Tom? I'm sorry I don't want to talk at the moment."

"Sorry, then rest. I won't bother you."

"Thanks, Tom---"

And tonight ended with the three people who were stricken with turmoil just shut themselves in their respective rooms.

...***...

The next day at five in the morning,

Alisa comes to Love's room and sees her nona still sleeping in bed. It's not usually that the nona is still closing their eyes. A few minutes later, Alisa saw her nona begin to open her eyes.

"Miss, is Miss okay? Miss sick?"

"No, I'm not sick. I'm okay anyway. Today I just want to be alone. I didn't want to meet anyone today. And for today's lesson, I've already sent a message to Rini's mother if it's off today. You please help Edi to water the plants."

"Including meeting with Mr Lucki?"

"Yes, I can't see him today."

"Miss--"

"Sometimes I think, have I made the right decision to continue this matchmaking? I'm still confused myself, Al. Lucka and I .. walked across. It was hard to understand his heart." Tears of Love are back.

"Nona-" Alisa is sad to see her nona.

"Go! It's past five o'clock. Edi needs you."

Alisa says goodbye to Love and leaves the room. He meets Lucki who is waiting for him in front of the room of Love.

"Miss doesn't want to meet anyone, sir."

Lucki understands the feeling of Love that is still hurting. He left the room of Love and went back to his room.
