Lu[C]Ka Love
24. FIRST DATE

The days of Love were more cheerful after Lucka expressed her feelings. It was as if the sunlight always accompanied his life and there was no complete dark life like at night for him.

The joyful smile is always Love singing when doing his daily life. People around him also feel drained of the positive flow of the happiness of Love.

Love called her mother and told her she was fine now and very happy. Her mother was so grateful that her daughter was living happily with her new family. That means his father-in-law who incidentally is Love's grandfather, is not wrong in choosing a partner for his grandson.

Love's birthday is just a few days away. Love doesn't want a celebration or a fancy dinner. He will prepare his own simple birthday party at the house Bahari. Because Jansen and Jessi are not home, Love will celebrate her birthday with Lucka alone. He would cook something nice on his special day.

"Miss, let me do it. Miss and Mr. Lucka just eat the food."

"No, Chef. I'll prepare everything myself. I'll start shopping today" Love replied with a sweet smile on her face.

Chef Marko understands Love's desire to cook himself a special menu on his birthday.

Love asked Mr. Teddy to prepare a driver for him to go shopping for his birthday tomorrow. He will go without Alisa. Because he'll give a surprise to Lucka. He's coming to Lucka's office after shopping.

Love contacts Tommy and asks for Lucka's whereabouts. Tommy tells Love to wait in Lucka's office.

Love sits waiting for the arrival of Lucka who is in a meeting with his client. Fifteen minutes of Love waited, and finally Lucka entered his room still discussing with Tommy about the next meeting plan.

Love stood welcoming Lucka with a sweet smile on her face. Lucka was surprised to see the shadow of Love in his room.

"Tom, I'm not going crazy. Why do I see the shadow of Love here?" lucka whispered to Tommy.

"Yes. Looks like you're starting to go crazy, Lucka!" answer Tommy chuckles.

"But why does the shadow seem so real?"

"That's because you love her too much, Lucka!"

"Hey! What are you guys doing again? How whispering?" Love begins to speak.

"He can talk, Tom!" And Lucka still does not realize that the figure in front of him is indeed Love.

"Mas! It's really me!"

"Did? What's?"

Tommy laughs hard at Lucka who still does not believe that Love is in front of him.

"Tommy! Don't keep mocking him." Love approached Lucka and wrestled spoiled in her arms. "Mas, it's really me."

"Fuck you, Tom!! You're playing me!" murmur Lucka.

"Sorry-sorry. Well, then, go on with your time."

"Thank you, Tom." Love added.

"Lucka, look out! Don't be absurd!" tommy whispered before finally leaving the two of them with a grinning laugh.

Lucka growled and clenched his hand. Yet he keeps his emotions in front of Love and pretends to smile sweetly.

Lucka invites Love to sit.

"What are you suddenly coming here for?"

"I want to give you a surprise, hehe. Oh yeah, we're having lunch with yuk! Trus abis that we take a walk to the mall."

Lucka scrunched his forehead. "But I'm busy, love. How can I walk around during work hours? I'll be fired by Grandpa how?"

"Hmm, yeah. I'll wait for you to finish work."

Lucka can't argue with his little fiancee. I also want the desire of love. This is the first time they've been both gone. Consider it a first date.

...***...

Lucka and Cinta have lunch at JB Group's cafeteria. The food menu is provided by professional chefs.

All eyes looked towards the two of them while eating lunch. Some whisper and gossip. And judging if the prospective wife of their boss is still very young and said to be still children. But there are also those who admire their suitability. They are both a good couple.

While in the women's toilet, Cinta had heard some chatter of female employees who made fun of her who was only the son of a rice shop seller. Love was sad to hear their conversation even though it was true. Love is nobody. It was just a poor girl who was suddenly in a match with a rich family. Love does not give up on all of this. This is already a risk because it wants to marry a rich and powerful man like the Bahari family.

Love calms down and will forget all the bad gossip about her. Right now the most important thing is that Lucka loves her. And he won't care about the talk of someone else who dropped him.

"It's been in the toilet for a long time, you slept there?" Ask Lucka when Love comes out of the toilet.

"What the hell, Mas? I'm going on a date with you, so I have to look pretty dong!" answer Love by developing her smile even though her heart aches hearing bad things about her.

Lucka pinches the cheek of Love. "You are beautiful. And I like you like this. No need for a lot of makeup."

Lucka managed to make Love blush in shame. And that makes Lucka even more anxious with his little girl. Want to taste kiss his tiny lips if only this is not in a public place.

Lucka's work was completed sooner than scheduled. As a result, Lucka will fulfill his promise to Cinta to take a walk to the mall.

"Aren't high schoolers often walking to the mall? Why did you choose to come here on a date with your fiancee?" asked Lucka while walking down the rows of shops in the mall.

"really?"

Love hits Lucka's arm slowly. "Really, Mas!" Love pursed her lips. Lucka laughed at her fiance's childish behavior.

"Yes-yes, I believe. What do you want here now?"

Love grins. "Hehehe, I want a gift from you!"

Lucka laughed a little. "Yes my. I think what's up. A present? What do you want a gift for? A watch? The briefcase? The shoe? A shirt?"

Love shakes. Lucka scrunched his forehead. "Trus what?"

Love pulls Lucka's hand into a toy store. They followed a neatly arranged row of storefronts. Lucka smiled and only realized that his fiancee was still a child, he must have chosen to go to the toy store rather than to a boutique.

"I want this one, Ma'am!" love to a servant.

Lucka rolled his eyes. Love points to a large teddy bear that is about the size of a human.

"You want this?" Ask Lucka.

Love is steady.

"Mom, please pack it up." Lucka said to the waiter.

"Good, sir."

Lucka approached Love who was looking at another toy.

"Why did you pick that big doll as your birthday present?"

"Mas want to know?"

"Yes that. Because women usually like to buy bags or clothes. Why choose dolls?"

"Umm, because the doll is you." Show Love to Lucka.

"Eh? How me?" Lucka was confused.

"Yes. It's a symbol of you. When I miss you, I'll hug her. When you make me angry, I'll beat him. That's so!" Love grimaced answering Lucka's question.

Lucka chuckled and shook his head. "You're just there. Wouldn't it be if you missed being able to see me straight away. Or I'll come for you."

"No. It's too cliche like that."

"Curtain, this little boy!" Lucka pinched Love's nose.

"Aw, sick!" Love is about to hit Lucka.

"Eitz! Wait up! You said if I made you angry you'd hit that doll. Why would you hit me?"

"Ih, Mum. That'll be if there isn't."

"Haha!" Lucka laughed, followed by Love who also laughed.

...***...

In a different place, meanwhile,

"Remember, shay. Lo it came here for work. Not for anything else." said a man in a gleaming tone.

"Yes, I know. But I'm back here again. There's something I want to see before I get back to Paris."

"Don't tell me you want to see that ex-lo! Remember Sally, she's got a fiancee."

"What if he has a fiancee? They are still not married. You can still break up!"

"Ckckckck, I don't understand your way of thinking. Remember yes! Don't break your reputation because of guys!"

"Lo be calm! I won't ruin my career because of him."

"It's good that you know. I pull it off first! Lo buruan get ready. The picture's fifteen minutes away."

"Yes, dear Jo. I know."

Sally looked at herself in the mirror. His eyes were red with anger. And his hands clenched tightly.

You might forget me and pick that warteg girl, Lucka! I'm not gonna let that happen. I'll reclaim what's been lost---
