Lu[C]Ka Love
EXTRA PART: APPLICATION

I opened my eyes in the morning. Stretching my muscles that feel stiff. Then I opened my eyes and calmed my mind for a moment.

I glanced at the wall clock in my room. What day is this? Why it feels so different from the usual days.

"Love! Nduk! Are you awake?"

That's my mother's voice.

"Yes, ma'am." I replied in a typical hoarse voice waking up.

"Wake Nduk. Shower and then breakfast here!" exclaim mom.

"Yes, Mom."

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. Fifteen minutes in the bathroom is enough.

My phone's vibrating. A message from Lucka. I smiled reading a short message from him.

Yes, after the bathroom, I remember that today was my engagement day with Lucka. Today's event will be different from the previous engagement event.

I purposely asked Lucka to change all the processes. And he's embracing it.

I came out of my room and saw many people passing by in my house. Some people arrange decorations and some are cooking in the kitchen.

Chef Juna helps the mothers to prepare dishes for the coming Bahari family. Yes, this time all the application processions are according to my wishes. This is the thing I'm waiting for.

"Sir, eat first. It's chef Juna who's cooking!" mom says.

"Oh yeah?" I immediately sparkled.

"Ehem! Is this the work of the virgin child who wants to be proposed? I've been here since dawn and you just woke up?" Chef Juna shakes his head.

I just grimaced at his complaints.

"Ah that's the Chef who came. It's still noon."

"Hmm basic! Always smart!" Chef Juna ruffled my hair.

I sat on the dining table chair and ate Chef Juna's fried rice. When I look at fried rice, I always think about my memories with Lucka.

While eating my breakfast, my phone rang. A call from Lucka. Long live so long he. I just thought about it, and he called me right away.

"Hello, Ma..." The call that once disappeared, is back.

"Hello, baby."

"What's wrong?"

"Honey, is it true that I don't need to participate in the application later?"

I chuckle. Turns out he called just to ask.

"No way, my mom. It's so."

"But I'm the one who proposed to you, why didn't I come?"

"The one proposing is not you, but Grandma and Brother Lucki."

"Hahah! So, I have to follow the customs?"

"Yes, Mas. Tomorrow after the proposal, we'll meet."

Ah Oh my God! I can't stand to hear Lucka sulking.

"Hold it till tomorrow. Just ask Tommy to send me the video."

"Huh! Yes already. Are you ready?"

"It's still breakfast, just getting ready for a little while."

"alright. I hung up. Love you's..."

"Yes, love you too."

Call ended. I felt guilty hearing him sigh a few times.

"What's up, Nduk? Is son Lucka still insistent on asking to come?" ask Mother.

"Yes, mom. How's dong?" I became sulking at Mom.

"Leave it. Only one day is the time of ndak strong nahan longing. That's how heavy tell Dilan to lift."

"Huh? Who's it, Mom?"

"You're a young man, you don't even know. You bucin!"

"But, Mother! What the hell? It's not clear!" I laughed and hugged Mom.

If only my father and grandfather were still here. They will also be very happy to hear that I am being proposed. But, no matter what my condition, I have to be grateful for always being accompanied by people who love me.

Now come to the procession that I have been waiting for. The group of Bahari family came with a lot of goods as a proposal.

I was still hiding in the room with Lala and only heard the voices of the people outside. The sound of laughter was also present in today's event.

Pakde Gun is in charge of representing my family as a replacement for my father and grandfather. On Lucka's side, there was Gerald's grandfather who spoke as a man who wanted to propose myself to his granddaughter.

I don't know what Lucka's expression is now. Clearly, he was a bit upset that he was not allowed to attend. Maybe he's still angry, or maybe not.

When the Bahari family had declared their intention, it was time for my family to answer. Pakde Gun called me to answer Lucka's proposal.

"How about Love? This is a kind-hearted young man, good family, and good work. His family came to propose and propose Nduk Cinta. Is it accepted or not?" ask Pakde Gun to me.

I smiled and welcomed everyone present. I looked at Jessi's grandmother, then Lucki's sister and Alisa's. They were all present at this important event.

"My answer is ... no!"

Of course, everyone was excited because they heard my strange statement.

I'm sorry, Lucka, I'm just messing with you.

"Don't reject the point..."

Finally everyone was crying out. No exception for someone who was there. He's been making video calls with Tommy. And now I hear him cheering.
