The Love of Luke
Photo album

"Mother this is the fruit, can I go back to my room now?" I said keep the fruit on the table,

"No! Wash Cecil's clothes first after that clean the new pool you can rest" said my mother ruled,

I just nodded obediently and immediately went to the back but when I stepped my accomplice was held by Cecil and again he gave me a threat.

"Wait on! Vivian, listen to this carefully, if you get smart and stand out in class, I'm going to hurt Ida!" The threat he gave me.

"Let's just remember Cecil, I won't be smarter than you I just want to learn" I told him.

He patted me on the shoulder once and then finally let me go, I immediately went to pick up Cecil's dirty clothes in his room and when I entered his room I accidentally saw a photo album belonging to Cecil lying in his sleep.

I intend to clean up the photo album but I actually saw the figure of the man I crave, yes. In the photo album there are many photos of Lukas Pramudya a man who I suspect is a man 12 years ago, a man I suspected as my helper in the swimming kola at that time. I also saw some scribbles there, where Cecil seemed to like Lukas, but besides that there was also a photo of another man in there.

Out of curiosity I immediately took one of the photos of this man I didn't know.

"This guy, it looks like his face is so familiar to me, but where have I seen him?" Gertutuku.

As I held the photo and thought about it slowly, suddenly the door opened and I was sure it must be Cecil who was about to enter his room.

I immediately took a photo of it and hid it in my clothes and I hurriedly took Cecil's dirty clothes and put the photo album back on as before.

"Cup...." The door was opened by Cecil,

"Vivian don't linger in my room if you're done picking up dirty clothes, get out quickly. I don't want you to step on the floor of my room for too long" he said cynically,

"Yes Cecil I understand, this is also done" I replied and immediately came out with his dirty clothes.

Cecil went in late after I came out, he held me back before letting me go, so I thought he knew I was taking one of the photos from the album.

"Eh...wait, didn't you touch my belongings?" Her question made my heart beat fast and scared.

I felt very anxious and afraid that he would find out what I was hiding from him, but by controlling myself I immediately turned to him and tried to act as usual.

"No Cecil, I don't dare" I stared back at him flatly as usual.

"CK ... I hate that pathetic, flat face, just be careful if you dare to touch my stuff, even if you accidentally step on your hand again!" His impact threw a threat to me for the whole time.

Even so often Cecil gave me threats, I was no longer afraid of all the bluffs he gave me, even though he did that threat, I was also immune to all the suffering in this house.

I went to wash Cecil's clothes and again accidentally found a letter that Cecil might make for someone, I was curious again and read it right then and there.

I was confused and thought about who Kaylo was, but even though I tried to remember him, still my brain could not be invited to work together so I put the letter back in the envelope and intend to return it to Cecil as before.

I intentionally did that because if I threw away or took the letter, Cecil would definitely look for it and he would definitely not forgive me, I continued my work and immediately went to Cecil to give him the letter again.

"Tock...tock...tok..." The sound of knocking on the door I knocked a few times,

"Aishh!" Cecil's voice is in there.

He came to open the door and immediately yelled at me very loudly, it seemed that he hated me so much, even when he saw my face he immediately scolded me for no reason.

"Aishh...apparently you!, how dare you disturb me, you servant do not know the time, what are you looking for me?" With a cruel look,

"I accidentally found it in your pocket, I think it's important to you so I kept it" I said honestly,

"Aahh....The letter, thankfully not lost, here give it to me, but you don't peek right?" His words instantly snatched from my hands violently.

"Do you think I'm brave?" Reply to him.

He closed the door again and I was relieved that he did not suspect me.

"Whether he can't like me a little, I also want to be loved by my brother" I grumbled quietly by walking lethargicly down the stairs.

I cannot deny as bad as Cecil and my mother, I still love them, because they are the only family I have in this world even though they are only foster families, but at least they would have supported me even though I had to return back and suffer a lot of pressure in this house.

I can accept all the evil and rude things they gave me, but my heart still hurts considering they hate me so much and there is not the slightest love in their hearts for me.

"I shouldn't expect love from them" I again began to accept the situation.

I immediately went to the pool and cleaned some of the dry leaves in the pool, I also cleaned the small moss that was lodged in the wall, I rubbed the edge of the pool with my own hands and just used a brush.

Sweat began to pour on my forehead but I ignored it and continued to be busy cleaning the pool with caution.

Up to this size I still can not swim and afraid of deep water or flow, even though I really want to be able to swim so that I will not drown again, no one can teach me how to swim.

Since childhood my mother often taught Cecil how to swim even he hired an expert to teach him how to swim and play the violin, whereas I could never touch the violin, let alone play it. I just always watched in the corner silently and listened to the lessons the coach gave Cecil.

While Cecil was lazing around I was working hard to train alone, I often ran away from home secretly when I was in elementary school, I went to the talent training ground nearby, I played piano with other incapable children and I loved the piano, despite being eager to play the violin.

Because at the training ground there was only a piano, drums and guitar so there was no other tool I could choose from other than the piano.
