Moving On
Joking in the Morning

A few days later.

The morning reappeared. Today, the sky looks not very friendly. The sun is too shy to appear. Dark clouds blocked the bright light from shining on the city of Salvador. The air that barged into the room also felt extremely cold. Emelie sat leaning against the bed in a gray sweater suit. The woman read a book to get rid of her boredom.

The bathroom door is open. Zeroun came out in a white suit and black pants. The man put a watch on his wrist while putting on his cold expression. Sometimes he glanced at his lover who seemed to focus on his reading. Zeroun was unconcerned that morning. With quick and sure steps, the man forcibly seized Emelie's reading book.

“Baby!” emelie was upset. The woman furrowed her forehead while looking at her lover's face,” Restore.” Emelie reached out to ask for the book back.

Not to return the book to the owner. Zeroun threw it towards the sofa. The man carved a thin smile to prank his lover.

“You are indeed a pretty annoying guy,” Emelie said. The woman got out of bed to get her book back. His steps came to a halt as Zeroun pulled Emelie's hand and carried the woman's body into his arms.

“I don't like you like that. Why did the book get more attention than me who is your lover,”, Zeroun said while looking seriously at Emelie's face.

“This time you're jealous of the book?” emelie asked defying Zeroun's sharp gaze.

Zeroun was silent for a moment. The man took off his embrace before gazing in the other direction, “Your eyes will hurt if you read too often,” replied Zeroun looking for an excuse.

Emelie chuckles at her lover's lies. The woman tiptoed until her face aligned with Zeroun, “Do you not want to admit it?” ask Emelie full of questions.

“Baby, why do you always look adorable,” said Zeroun with a hand that wanted to reach for his lover's body. Zeroun had no time to touch it, Emelie first turned her body. The woman ran towards the terrace not far from the room.

Zeroun shook his head with a smile, before chasing after his girlfriend, “Awas only you, Baby.”

“Baby, chase me,” led Emelie with full confidence.

The pair of lovers looked happy in the cloudy morning. There was laughter adorning the open room. From a distance not too far away, Luke looked at Zeroun and Emelie with a happy smile. With a quick motion, Luke leaves the room connecting him to the same terrace where Zeroun is.

Downstairs.

Lana looks busy cleaning up the dirty dishes she just picked up from Zeroun's room. The woman looked happy this morning. Occasionally Luke's kiss was imagined to make his face shamed. Luke's kisses got him hooked. In fact, the woman plans to prank Luke again with the same trick. Kissing is just a game for her to have fun with.

After you finish cleaning the dishes. Lana looked around. Usually the dangerous man always sits at a mini bar not far from the dining table. But, this morning the man did not see the trunk of his nose. Even since breakfast took place, Luke also did not come out of his private room.

“Where is he? is he lamenting his second kiss this time,” said Lana just origin. The woman took her gun tucked in the thigh. Today is quite boring for Lana because she does not do any activities at the headquarters.

Zeroun hasn't given any orders in days. The mafia boss seemed to want to rest before his grand plan took place. The atmosphere of the house looks safe and comfortable like a regular house in the residence. Not implied the slightest sign, if the luxurious house was just a hideout. At any time if the enemy attacked, the house would be covered in blood and the people were lifeless.

Just as the tough lady thought of Luke's name, the man had already appeared before her eyes. Lukas sits in his favorite chair located in a mini bar. One hand poured the crystal wine into a small size glass. His eyes were fixed on Lana before gulping down the drink. The morning temperature was pretty cold. Drinking alcohol can warm the body.

“Hei, Luke.” Lana sat down next to Luke. Holds his head with one hand. His lips smiled as his head was filled with a devious plan to prank Luke.

“What's up?” answer Luke indifferently.

“Do you not want to kiss me again?” lana said without thinking.

Luke, who was still gulping down his drink, immediately choked for a moment. The dangerous man put his glass down roughly. The beating of the glass and the glass table makes a sound that can break the silence. Both of Luke's eyeballs stared intently at Lana's face. The man scrunched his forehead as he was unsure of the sentence Lana said.

“Do you think it's a joke?” Luke seemed to dislike Lana's joke that morning. The man moved out of his chair to leave Lana alone in that place.

“Lukas, I was just kidding. Why are you angry.” Lana also moved from her seat. The woman chased Luke with a confused face.

“Lukas, stop.” Lana manages to hold Luke's hand. Now, the man stopped his footsteps to give Lana a chance to speak.

“Lukas, sorry.” Lana looked down with a guilty face,” At first I just wanted to make you laugh. Looks like your laughter was quite a step. You never laughed at me. I'm like friends with a two-door refrigerator.”

Luke again digested Lana's words. Yes, it is true what Lana said. Luke is not a smiley man any more laugh. The man only smiled when he saw his enemy lose or when Zeroun was happy. He never smiled or laughed to himself.

“Sorry yes,” continued Lana while looking at Luke's face with a look of hope.

“Lana, do you want to accompany me to the beach training?” Luke was no longer willing to fuss over Lana's jokes that morning. The man was instead interested in training Lana's martial arts. He did not want Lana to constantly lose while fighting.

“Now?” lana asked unsure.

“Ya,” Reply Luke briefly.

“There is one condition.” Again the tough lady carved a sly smile.

“What?” ask Luke to investigate.

“If this time I win. You must laugh according to the laughter I teach you. How?” lana said confidently.

“If I win?” asked Luke with raised eyebrows.

“You may ask anything from me,” replied Lana steady.

After passing the deal that morning. Lana and Luke walked together towards the shore. They want to practice by being watched by the waves of the beach that roll beautifully.
