Lu[C]Ka Love
55. Believe in Love

Lucka takes Love to a cafe to talk to each other. They sat facing off with no conversation between them.

The waiter brought their order. Only two glasses of warm drink were ordered by Lucka and Cinta.

Lucka wanted to talk but he seemed to be waiting for something. Love is just silence and watching. He chose to drink the warm chocolate he ordered.

A vibration on Lucka's phone excited the man to open it. His eyes sparkled with pleasure. Without a second thought he immediately handed his phone to Love.

"Look at this!" lucka's orders.

Love put the freshly drunk warm chocolate on the table.

"What's this?" ask the confused love.

"Just watch me talk!" said Lucka.

Unsuspecting, Cinta receives Lucka's phone which turns out to have played a video that seems like a press conference.

The forehead of Love frowned listening to all the confirmation made by Sally. Even the atmosphere became boisterous when a friendly scene occurred between Sally and the man she recognized as her lover.

Lucka was also curious about the noise that came from his phone. He got up from his seat and stood behind Love.

His eyes fiddled watching the ex-lover with the heat kissing in front of the media.

"God! I didn't expect Sally to do such a reckless thing," muttered Lucka heard by Love. He sat back in his chair and kept his mouth shut.

Love put down Lucka's phone. "Why? Are you jealous of Sally kissing another guy?" sarcas Love.

"Love! Why talk like that? I just don't think, not jealous." Lucka's face looked sad when she heard Love speak coldly to her.

"Did you tell Sally to do this?"

"Eh? Why are you thinking so badly of me? Sally herself wanted to do this press conference. Don't you trust me? What little can you not trust me?"

Silent love. He really wanted to think differently about Lucka.

"alright. I'll have a press conference too. I will announce our relationship in front of everyone." said Lucka with sharp eyes staring at Love.

"Eh? Press conference?"

"really. And so you must come."

"No! M-not like this, Lucka. I'm..."

"What's? I gave you space and time. Is all this not enough? How much longer are we gonna keep going like this, love? I've been waiting for you for three years. Is that still not enough?"

Love is silent and does not answer.

"I've given you time to fulfill all your dreams. Your priority! Am I not on your priority list? I'm just a false shadow for you. That so?" Lucka sounded desperate.

"I won't burden you by always watching you. I tried and did. I don't even know what you've been doing all week. For me, that's more than enough to prove. And I'll continue until you want it back."

Love thinks of words to be able to answer all of Lucka's sentences.

"I'm just afraid I'll get hurt again. I did say that I still love you. And I want to be with you. But ... a lot of things I'm afraid of."

"What are you afraid of?"

"Everything..."

"You forgot your promise in front of Grandpa's grave?"

"No, of course I remember!"

Lucka sighed softly. "Then...?"

"Give me a little more time. Please..."

Lucka sighed. "Your fears are unwarranted. Maybe I shouldn't have seen you today..."

Lucka got up from his seat and left Love. While Love is still silent and has no intention of pursuing Lucka.

"Maybe it's the best, Lucka.." Inner Love.

"Hows it? Your relationship with love is fine, right?" sally asked as they were taking a break on set.

"Of course." Lucka rubbed his face rough.

"What's wrong? He's been watching my clarification video, hasn't he?"

"Ah, the kiss? I don't know why James and I decided to kiss in public. I think that's enough to prove that we're just coworkers."

Lucka. "You think love would think so?"

"no? Ah, I know she's a unique girl. Then let me talk to him."

"Hey! Don't fuck around!"

"Silence, Lucka! I'm not gonna hurt him! Sometimes women have to talk to other women. Trust me!"

Lucka sighed. I don't know how many times this handsome guy can't focus on work.

"Yes already! Don't think. I'll go back to the location." Sally patted Lucka on the shoulder and then passed.

Sally meets Love at Chef Juna's cooking course. Sally waited for Love to finish teaching.

Sally knew it must not be easy for a girl like Love to be able to confess her feelings. Though the girl was so confident when she once scolded Sally. But where was the former love? Now it was just bad speculation that he thought about.

"Hi, Love!" greet Sally when Love comes out of the shophouse.

"Sally?" Love surprised.

"Can I talk to you for a second?" ask Sally.

"Did Lucka ask you to come here?" ask Love back to investigate.

Sally chuckles. "Do I look like a surrogate?"

"Eh?"

"We'll talk at the cafe in front of us." Sally asked without waiting for Love's approval.

"Wait, Sally! I didn't say I agreed!" exclaim Love.

"Agree it or not you'll stay with me!" sally said with confidence.

And it's true, Love followed Sally's steps without refuting any more.

Now they sit facing each other.

"What do you want to order?" ask Sally.

"Just give it up" replied Love Cuek.

"Do you like espresso? All right, order 2 cups of warm espresso huh. Thank you," Sally said as she handed the menu book to the waiter.

"So, Love..." Sally looked at Love.

"You still don't believe in Lucka?" continued.

"Did you always tell each other about your problems?" ask Love with a little dislike tone.

Sally laughed crisply. "You jealous, Love?"

"D-no!" Love tries to cover up her nervousness.

"Your eyes cannot hide what is stored in the heart. Never mind, admit it. Maybe you can't trust Lucka. But can you believe in your love? You've been harboring each other for years. As long as I've known Lucka, I've never seen him like this. Only you can make Lucka like this, Love. He always loved you even when you were separated by distance and time."

Love laid her body on the bed after arriving at her house. The recording of her and Sally's conversation is now back.

He was too scared to face what was not yet clear. She should just focus on her relationship and Lucka. Not even thinking about anything else.

Love grabbed her phone and found Lucka's name there. His hands trembled when he wanted to press the call button.

"How's this? Should I call her? Or just send a message?"

Disgusted love. He didn't know what he was going to say when he called Lucka later.

"Ah stop! What will you say!"

Love dialed Lucka's number. I heard a wait there. Lucka did not take a call from him.

"The number you're going to doesn't answer. Please leave a message after the following tone!"

Love threw her phone into bed. "I thought!" he murmured with a tinge of disappointment there.
