Lu[C]Ka Love
19. LUCKI REQUEST

Tok tok tok tok

The main door of Jansen Bahari's west mansion was knocked by a guest who wanted to see the man.

"Mr Lucki?"

Yes, the guest who came was Lucki, Jansen's eldest granddaughter.

"Sir Teddy, is there grandpa?"

"There's Master. Please come in." Teddy invited Lucki to come in.

"Thank you, sir."

"Tumben Young master came here" said Teddy.

"There's something I want to talk to Grandpa about."

"Oh so. Please sit down, Sir. I'll call the Great Lord."

Teddy stepped away to call Jansen. Lucki sat quietly on the couch. Never did he feel this stiff and awkward about meeting his grandfather. His resolve is round. He can't back off anymore.

"Luckie! Grandpa is glad you came here. What's up, son?" greet Jansen by hugging Lucki for a moment.

Jansen positioned himself sitting next to Lucki.

"Emh, there's something I want to talk to Grandpa about." Lucki glanced at Teddy who was standing next to Jansen.

Teddy understands that Lucki doesn't want to be bothered by anyone. Then Teddy left the two of them to talk.

"Grandfather, all this time I never asked grandfather anything. But this time I need Grandpa's help."

Jansen frowned. "What help, Lucki?"

"Please give Love to me, Cake!"

"Eh? Whatchu mean?" Jansen didn't understand what Lucki meant.

"I beg your grandfather. Cancel Lucka and Love's engagement. And let me replace Lucka."

"Lucki---"

"Please, Grandpa! I want nothing but love. Company, money, position, I don't need any of that. I just want Love."

"Luckie! Love is not an item, son!"

"I knew. But, I like it, Cake. And Lucka? He doesn't like love. Love will suffer if it continues this match!"

Jansen massaged his forehead.

"Son, why love? There are a lot of good women out there too. You must--"

"No! I don't want to! I just want Love! Is it so hard for Grandpa to grant my request? Why is it always Lucka, Cake? Wh why? I'm not asking you for anything, I just want love! Can't Grandpa give it to him?"

"Son, Grandpa can't decide all this. It's a matter of feeling love."

"Then, what should I do? I'll do anything to get grandpa to give me love."

Jansen shook his head. "No, Son. It's not like that. Heart problems we cannot force. Let Love decide. Ask Love how she feels about Lucka, and you too. It'll be fairer for you, and also for him."

Lucki was silent at his grandfather's explanation. He thought for a moment.

"Well, I'll do my best, so that Love can choose me."

...***...

Tommy rounded his eyes when he heard Lucki's story about his request to Jansen.

"Don't be surprised. I know this feels weird. But, I just want to take away my rights as grandfather's granddaughter. I also deserve the heart of Love."

"Lucki, but your sister---"

"Lucka doesn't love Love. Don't you? They always argue and are very mismatched."

"Why should Love? Do you want to avenge Lucka for past events?"

"Do you think I'm that slick?" lucki's circus won't take it.

"No, it's just that it's gonna get complicated. Then, does Love know about your request?"

"No. And I'm asking you not to leak this to my sister" asked Lucki.

"Yes, all right," replied Tommy obediently.

...***...

Jansen pondered in his study. He didn't think that Lucki would ask him for something like this. During this time, his relationship with Lucki was not as close as with Lucka. But still, Lucki is his granddaughter as well. And he has to think about Lucki's feelings.

Jansen decides to talk to Lucka about Lucki's request.

"Your brother went to see grandfather a few days ago-" Jansen opened.

Lucka listened carefully.

"He said he liked love. He wants Grandpa to cancel your engagement and Love. He is very sure if you do not like Love, and do not want this matchmaking."

Lucka sighed. Okay fine! She already knew about her brother's feelings towards Love. But she did not think that her brother would tell his heart to his grandfather.

"What do you think of this, Lucka?" ask Jansen.

Lucka looked at Jansen. He has to give a good answer. He still seems to not care about this situation. And Jansen wants Lucka to start caring.

"What is Grandpa's answer?"

Jansen laughed a little.

"Grandfather knows you want to cancel this match on your engagement day. Grandfather also knew that you and Love often quarrel and argue. But, is it true that there is not a little race from you for Love? You don't care if Grandpa cancels your engagement?" Ask Jansen with a little emphasis.

Lucka started to worry. He doesn't know how he feels about love.

"Grandfather answered what to brother?" And that sentence back Lucka asked.

"Grandfather says Love has to decide. And Lucki has to ask her herself."

"Eh? Does Love know about this?"

Jansen. "If you care about love. Then you know what you have to do. Compete healthily with your sister!"

After saying all these things to Lucka, Jansen bailed away. He had to leave town again for a few days.
