Lu[C]Ka Love
21. WITHOUT A WORD OF LOVE

At nine o'clock in the night, Lucki and Cinta return to the Bahari family residence. Lucki promised Lucka that he would bring Love back home.

No conversation on the way home. Love is still bad because Lucki expresses her feelings. Likewise, Lucki who became more awkward after expressing his feelings.

Arriving at Bahari's house, Lucki and Cinta go straight to their respective rooms. It was past the curfew which meant they had to stay in the room until morning.

Love stood behind the door of her room and set her breath. He still couldn't believe that Lucki would say such a thing to him. Love slaps her own cheek.

THE PLAQUE!

"Aw, sick! This is not a dream!" Love caressed her cheeks.

Instead of lingering in her uncertain feelings, Love decided to cleanse herself and prepare for sleep.

Maybe when he wakes up tomorrow, he will forget about what just happened.

...***...

The days of love are back as usual. The morning activity starts with taking care of the park, then cooking, then learning with Rini.

It's been three days since Lucki expressed her feelings for Love. And Love hasn't given Lucki the answer.

"Al, looks like I should do meditation---"

"Eh? Meditating? What's the matter, Miss?"

"Hahaha, there's no. Already, forget it. Let's just say I didn't say anything." Love smiled broadly at Alisa.

It is time to decide what my heart says. I will meet Brother Lucki.

Lucki meets Gerald at Rayyan's family home. When his heart was riled up, he used to come to his grandfather to complain. But this time, he just fell silent and chose to go to his late mother's room and lay there.

Mama, why was I never meant to be like Lucka? Why are we always different? I'm Mama's son too, right?

Lucki's tears can no longer be contained. Lucki buried his face in a pillow. He didn't want his grandfather to hear his cry.

Gerald comes to Lucki in Arina's room. The room is still neat. Although Arina has been gone a long time. In this air-conditioned room, Gerald sees Lucki crying. He knew his grandson was sad. And I'm sure it has something to do with her twin, Lucka.

Gerald sat by Arina's bed. He stroked Lucki's hair, and made her realize she wasn't alone in her mother's room.

"Grandfather?"

Lucki positioned himself to sit beside his grandfather. Gerald still didn't say anything.

"I haven't been here in a long time. This room feels cold. Like me," said Lucki.

And Gerald was still silent.

"Grandfather, what should I do? I can't stay like this --"

Gerald took a breath and exhaled it gently.

"It!" Gerald gives an envelope to Lucki.

"This is all that can be done right now" he continued.

Lucki opened the envelope and read the contents. Eyes glazed. An offer Gerald made to Lucki so that his heart would no longer be sad.

"Grandfather!" Lucki hugged Gerald.

"It's okay, kid! You're still grandpa's granddaughter. And grandpa loves you--"

"Thank you very much, Cake. I'll do my best."

"Yes, Son. Grandpa believes you."

Lucki wiped her tears and smiled.

...***...

The atmosphere of the northern mansion felt silent. There was no usual joking laugh when Lucka came back from the office.

Lucka squinted his eyes at the garden. There's nobody there. Lucka did not want to take a headache and went straight to his room.

Lucka cleaned up and changed into a collared shirt with a polo shirt. He is still in his room. For a moment he wanted to lay down on the sofa to relieve fatigue. But only a moment he lay down, the door of his room was back on tap. That's Tommy's voice. Lazily Lucka got up and headed for the door.

"What's up Tom? I want to take a break just--"

"Luck!" Tommy's voice panicked.

"Why? What did you bring that?" Lucka asked looking at Tommy's hand holding a piece of paper.

"Luckin.. She...?"

"Sister Lucki why?" ask Lucka to panic.

"It!" Tommy showed me the paper he was holding.

"What's this?" Lucka takes the paper from Tommy's hand which turns out to be a letter.

Lucka read the letter.

Lucka, I'm sorry if I had to say goodbye in this way. I can't see you in person. I was too angry, and disappointed.

I only asked one thing from you. Please take care of love. He loves you. Don't ever hurt her again.

I hope you can be happy. My prayers are always with you.

Greetings, greetings,

Lucki

Lucka sighed after reading the letter from her brother. Lucka nodded and thought of many things.

So, the girl chose me? No way!

"Lucka, are you okay?" asked Tommy who saw Lucka silent without a word.

"Yes, I'm fine."

Lucka walked into his room. He sat on the sofa still holding a letter from Lucki.

...***...

At the airport, though,

"Lucki, it's time for you to come in" Gerald said.

"Yes, Cake. Thank you so much for Grandpa's help."

"No need to thank. You are grandfather's grandson. Grandpa wants you to be happy. If you can be happy with this, then do it."

"Meeting a lot of people from other countries, makes me more alive, Cake. Maybe that way I can forget Love." said Lucki bitterly.

"Sometimes you will find good women like Love."

"I'm going in first, Cake. The plane is leaving soon."

Lucki hugged Gerald. Lucki waved and smiled at his Grandfather.

Inside the plane, Lucki is reminded of the statement that Love told him.

"Today I will answer Brother Lucki's statement. I don't know where to start but---"

"It's okay, Love. Don't force it."

"Sister, I have great respect for my brother. I am also happy to know my sister. With my sister I feel very happy. But I like Lucka. I don't know why my heart can't forget it. I'm sorry, Brother. Again, sorry---"

Lucki stared at the dark starry sky from inside the plane. I don't know when he'll be back home.

Goodbye to Love. May you be happy with Lucka.

...***...

A few days later,

"Love!" Lucka came to Love who was in the garden.

"Lucka?" Love welcomes Lucka with her sweet smile. The girl always looks cheerful in any situation.

"There's something I want to talk about. Come with me!"

Lucka brings Love to the library of the Bahari family.

"What's wrong?" ask Love.

"Why are you doing this?" ask Lucka without a stale base.

"Did? Did what?" Confused love.

"Why ... did you choose me?" ask Lucka a little nervous.

Love laughed a little at Lucka's question.

"Why laugh? I seriously asked!" lucka said he didn't take it.

"I'm serious too!" reply Love.

"Seriously what?" Lucka's turn to not understand.

"I'm seriously choosing you!" resolute Love.

The girl managed to make Lucka's face start meeting red.

"Don't joke!" ketus Lucka's.

"I'm not kidding, Lucka!"

"Why choose me?" Lucka still can't believe it.

"Because I like you," said Love honestly.

"Why like me?" ask Lucka who is actually very nervous. But he covered it up as much as possible.

Love puts her shoulders. "Eitherway. I don't know why!"

"You should know why!" press Lucka.

"Not really!" answer Love lightly.

"Didn't you like my brother?" Lucka started dragging Lucki's name.

"Who said?" ask Love with eyes.

"I see you're always together. And you always laugh when you're with him. What's that name if you don't like it?!"

"Sister Lucki is a good man. But that doesn't mean I'm in love with her." Love's back.

"Why not just fall in love with her?"

"Why did you arrange it? This is my heart. It's up to me dong to fall in love with who." upset Love.

"You were a kid. Do you know what you know about love?"

"Of course I know!" resolute Love.

"Have you ever been in love?" ask Lucka scoffing.

"Of course! Now! With you!" resolute Love that makes Lucka silenced.

"..............."

And Lucka was unable to speak anymore to answer the statement of Love. Then he left the library without saying goodbye to Love.

After Lucka left, Love laughed in satisfaction. He begins to believe that Lucka is also putting his heart on him.
