Lu[C]Ka Love
31. MEET AGAIN (2)

Love looks questioningly. He got up from his seat to be able to face the person who greeted him.

"Sir Reno?"

"What are you doing here?" ask Reno.

"Eh? Me? I'm waiting for Brother Lucki" replied Love honestly.

"Ooh, Professor Gerald's grandson. Or rather is the twin brother of Lucka," said Reno pitched dislike.

Love does not respond to Reno's words and turns away his face.

"How are you? Long time no see" continued Reno.

"My news is good." Cinta answers briefly because she clumsily meets Reno again after an unpleasant incident a year ago. "Self how are you?"

"As you can see, I'm fine." Reno smiled broadly.

"I know it's too late, but I want to apologize to you. For what happened a year ago..."

Reno laughed a little. "Thank you for apologizing. I'm sorry I hit you, too. I didn't actually do it on purpose."

And they started to melt the atmosphere by apologizing to each other.

"If I may know, what actually happened that day? Alisa said that Lucka's men took you somewhere. Did they do anything to you?"

Reno laughed again. And that makes it hard for Love to interpret it.

"I think they'll finish me off right then and there. I thought I couldn't leave alive after entering the Bahari family estate. But in fact, I'm alive and I'm fine."

"Then what really happened?" Love is curious about Reno's story.

Reno took something from inside her backpack.

"It's...." Reno handed a folded piece of paper to Love.

"What's this?"

"Open up, and read!"

"So, Lucka did this to you?"

"Yes. He came to see me after taking you into the house. And he asked me to sign the agreement. If I see you again, then he'll put me in jail. Of course I agree. I don't want my parents to know about this. Moreover, my career is still long. I don't want to ruin it just because I'm obsessed with you."

"So, Lucka didn't harm you?"

"No. I know it's weird to protect you. But from there I realized that he really loved you."

Reno reclaims the paper in Love's hands and rips it off and throws it in the trash.

"But now the letter is no longer valid. Because you're separated. But you take it easy. I will continue to obey the letter of the agreement. Is not a man displeased by his words? So, I'm gonna keep my promise to Lucka."

Love looked at Reno with gratitude.

"Mas Reno!" A girl called Reno.

"I'm going first, Love. I hope, whatever your decision, you can be happy."

Reno leaves Love, and embraces the girl who calls her. Love can guess that the girl is Reno's lover.

Love is back on the park bench. He thought about the agreement Lucka made for Reno.

Is it true you seriously love me, Lucka? But why does this not feel real? It's hard for me to believe everything. Why does my heart hurt so much when I remember you?

"Love!" Lucki called out to Love who was sitting pensively. It's the umpteenth time that Love keeps daydreaming.

"Sister Lucki? Is it done with business?"

"Yes, already. What are you thinking?"

"Eh? There's no. I just enjoy the atmosphere here. Hehe." Love tries to keep smiling.

"Yes already. Let's go meet Gerald's grandfather, and cook him something nice. I'm sure he'll love your cooking."

Love smiled and again he could not resist the hand of Lucki who grabbed his hand.
