Lu[C]Ka Love
26. THE LOVE WOUND (1)

"Welcome back, sir." Welcome Teddy to the newly arrived Jansen and Jessi.

"Thank you, Teddy. How are Love and Lucka? They've got progress?" ask Jansen.

"Very good, Sir. They're getting closer."

"Good." Jansen smiled with satisfaction.

Just now Jansen entered the house and was going to his room. On the way, they stopped because they saw Alisa who was running around calling the name Teddy, her father.

"Mr! The father!" Alisa meets Teddy and Jansen.

"What's Alisa? Why run around like that? Keep attitude! There's a big master and a madam just coming," lerai Teddy.

Alisa panting. He set his breath. "Ma-sorry, Sir. Sorry, Mr and Mrs. I just want to give you this..." Alisa handed me a letter and a box.

"What's this?" ask Jansen.

"That's from Miss Love, sir. She ... she's gone."

"What?!" Jansen and Jessi don't believe Alisa's explanation. Jansen opened the letter Alisa had given him, and read it.

Grandpa, if you read this letter, maybe I'm no longer at grandpa's house. Grandpa and grandma, I'm sorry. I can't be your daughter-in-law's granddaughter. Our world is too different. And I won't be able to balance this difference. I am happy to meet my grandparents. You guys are very nice people. I love you both. But, again I'm sorry. I have to cancel this match. Here I return the ring that belonged to the late Madame Arina. Again, I thank you for guiding me so much during my stay here. Take care of grandparents and grandparents.

Jansen held onto his chest. He feels stuffy. Jessi took her beloved husband.

"Where's Lucka?! Where's that son of a bitch?!" jansen asked with anger. No one dared to answer Jansen, and he headed straight to Lucka's room.

Arriving at Lucka's room, Jansen meets Tommy.

"Where is he?! Where's that brat?!" jansen asked with reddened eyes.

Tommy is confused to see Jansen's anger. "Sorry, Sir. Mr. Lucka is not in his room."

"Then where is he? Quickly bring him to me!"

From a distance, Lucka saw people gathered in front of his room. This morning she woke up and was in Sally's apartment. But Lucka did not find Sally's figure there and only a note Sally wrote for her. Sally had business until she left Lucka alone.

"What's this about? Why is everyone gathered in my room?" asked Lucka with great curiosity.

"Brazed kid! What have you done to love, huh? Why did he leave the house?" ask Jansen.

THE PLAQUE!

One slap landed on Lucka's left cheek. Just this time Lucka saw his grandfather filled with anger.

Lucka held her face. "What does grandfather mean? Who's going?"

"You still don't get it, huh? Love left this house, and you? You didn't even go home. Where have you been?!"

"Love's gone?" Lucka still couldn't believe what his grandfather said. Then Jansen handed over a letter from Love to Lucka.

Lucka was shocked to read the letter. His feet are starting to go weak. So does his body.

"It's conscious now, huh? Teddy! Gather everyone together! I'll ask everyone in this house one by one!" Jansen left Lucka's room.

Tommy approaches Lucka who is sculpting. "Are you okay, Lucka? What exactly is going on? Where have you been? Why not go home?"

Lucka glanced at the cynical Tommy. "Can't you ask one by one? My brain is not working right now!"

"Sorry..." Tommy has no comment. And choose silence.

...***...

Jansen interrogated all the assistants, and asked them to speak truthfully. One of the gatekeepers finally admitted that he had opened the main gate for Love.

"Sorry, Sir. I didn't know Miss Love was leaving. He said he just wanted to take a walk, a breath of fresh air in the morning. I didn't think that..."

"Easy-after. I-i know. No need to apologize anymore. Teddy, try calling the Love family. Who knew he was coming home to his mother's house" Jansen broke up.

"Good, Sir."

Jansen massaged his forehead. Jessi always calms Jansen down.

Shortly thereafter, Teddy returned with news.

"Sir, I've contacted Inah's mother. She said, Miss Love is home."

Jansen breathed a sigh of relief. Jessi asked her husband to rest in the room. They had just arrived but were already startled by the unexpected events in their home.

...***...

Lucka came to the room of Love. It feels quiet there. There was no laughter from the room. Lucka headed to the bed and saw a large teddy bear giving her a hand in the corner of the bed. All the stuff here is intact. Love does not carry anything in her room, not even clothes.

Lucka started to feel guilty. It's all because of him. If only he hadn't received a call from Sally. If only he had returned quickly and did not disappoint Love. Love may still be here.

Tommy had already found out from Alisa about the reason why Love left. Right this is all Lucka's fault for not coming to Love's birthday and instead meeting Sally. Love already knows about Lucka and Sally's past.

Lucka clenched his hand. He was angry at himself. Lucka wants to see his grandfather. It's been three days since Love's departure, and Lucka hasn't seen her grandparents again. And he knew that his grandfather had not forgiven his mistake.

"Grandfather.." said Lucka softly without looking at Jansen.

"What's really going on, son? Teddy said you guys were okay. Why is it like this?" Jessi asked meekly to Lucka.

"Grandma, I'm sorry. It's all my fault!"

"It's good that you're aware! So, what are you going to do to fix this?" Jansen replied in an annoyed tone.

"What grandpa said, I'll do."

"Then follow Love to her mother's house, and ask her to come back here. If you can't do it, then don't expect you to be sorry for grandpa." Jansen passed from in front of Lucka.

Lucka didn't give any answers. What he feels right now is guilt. He cursed himself for disappointing Love.

And according to her grandfather's instructions, Lucka met Love at her mother's house.
