The Love of Luke
Thinking of a Childhood Man

I just stared in a daze not understandingly at the face filled with Cecil's birthday cake, I wanted to defend myself to my father but he was already angry and told me to leave the party immediately, even he dragged me directly and took me to the kitchen.

"Vivian what are you doing, hurry up come with me, you can't go to a fancy party like this!" Snapped my father while directly pulling my small hand and led me into the kitchen.

"Dad.hiks..hiks...hiks..dad let me go, it's not my fault father" my whine tried to defend myself.

Dad still didn't listen to me and he didn't have any empathy for me at all he kept pushing me into the kitchen and locking me in there all by himself.

"Brukkk.. secretly you're here I'll ask bi Ida to take care of you, and you can not attend any party after this, I'm very disappointed in you Vivian" my father said he pushed me until I fell to the floor and he just left me,

"Dad..no..dad...this is not my fault..hiks...hiks...dad....wait!" Shouted I was trying to hold him.

Dad kept going and he ignored me, there was not the slightest bit of concern from dad for me he was disappointed in me just because of such a trivial thing, he said, even though Cecil was the one who pushed my head so hard that it fell on his cake but he shifted his guilt to me even he complained to my father until he did this to me.

I was so hurt but I couldn't do anything, I could only cry in the corner of the kitchen alone until soon after Ida arrived and she hugged me.

"Miss Vivian what's wrong with you?" Asked bi Ida while hugging me and gently rubbing my hair many times,

"Hiks..hiks..bi.ayah bi, he hates me also from now on, hiks..hiks.I have to how bi" I said as I continued to cry nonstop.

Bi Ida helped me stand up and she asked me not to think about it because I was five years old, bi Ida shifted my grief by inviting me to go to the park tomorrow afternoon and play as much as possible there, so I immediately stopped crying and believed whatever bi Ida said at that time.

"Miss sir, instead of hating the lady, he's a little angry, you'll come back to the lady again, don't worry, Miss Vivian, there's still an aunt here, already yes do not cry again if Miss Vivian stops crying aunt promise will bring the lady play tomorrow to the flower garden favorite miss how?" Said bi Ida distracting me,

"Waahh...really, can aunt promise me?" I asked to make sure, though,

"Of course, after all we will always be asked to take care of the flower garden belonging to the mistress but tomorrow the aunt will buy her favorite strawberry bread as a birthday gift" said bi Ida added.

I was a child, of course, very happy even though I would only get a bread from bi Ida, I immediately stopped crying and bi Ida took me to clean up, she said, I just nodded obediently and obeyed him just like that, I immediately cleaned myself up and continued laughing cheerfully jokingly with bi Ida who bathed me so gently.

"Wow...good...well, you two are good to relax and eat here while it's messy out there, hurry up and clean things up and you're Vivian you won't be able to sleep until everything's completely sorted out!" Snapped my mother while showing with her finger and a sharp look in her eyes.

I shuddered in horror and just nodded obediently while hugging bi Ida seeking refuge from her, after my mother left I was immediately invited by bi Ida to clean up all the rooms in the middle room and clean up all the mess there the rest of the party before, although at that time bi Ida had forbidden me to help him but I knew all this could not be quickly completed if done by bi Ida alone.

I also felt sorry to see that he had to clean things up by himself so I took the initiative to help him.

"Miss Vivian already..had, do not touch the dirty plate so that the aunt who will take her to the kitchen should miss go to the room and immediately rest early, the lady must be tired after crying earlier, the lady must be tired, let's go back to the room immediately" said bi Ida holding me to help her,

"No papa bi, Vivian has been five years now and has been able to work to help aunt, Vivian wants to make mom happy, if Vivian does not clean everything mom will scold Vivian and aunt, Vivian, Vivian didn't want aunt to be scolded by mother" I said, small and innocent.

Bi Ida immediately hugged me with a full day and then we immediately cleaned everything up, as long as I was small to the current size only bin Ida took care of me and gave love to me she who always stood up for me, and protect me while mom and dad scold me all out.

And at least after getting to know a blind man who helped me out in the pool I became a new friend, to the next day after a birthday party that night, I really kept my promise to him and he also came to the place where he came with the same grown man and we played so happily that we always spent time there together.

Ever since it happened I have felt like I had a friend and felt like I was loved by a friend, I loved that man so much, although he was blind and could not see, I knew that his heart was sincere with me, even he promised me that he would marry me when we grew up.

Flashback off

So from that until now I keep remembering all the memories about him, but unfortunately he suddenly disappeared after a few weeks always playing with me in the park and until now I have never met him again, because my father took me to move to a new house.

"The blind man where you are now I still have your wand, when will you take it and keep your promise to marry me" I said, holding a cane belonging to my little friend's man.

I was about to go to sleep but thinking about my childhood man I became unable to fall asleep and stayed up all night, I kept staring out the window at the star-studded night sky, it felt like I wanted to touch the stars in the sky and put them in my pocket so that I could continue to look radiant so that my little man could find my whereabouts wherever I was.

Although this has been going on for 17 years but I still hope that he will find me, I never despair of my expectations of him and I always ask for my wishes on every birthday.

Like tonight where my brother Cecil is having a grand and lavish party in our residence while I just stay in my restroom doing nothing, only the sound of Cecil's birthday celebration music could be faintly heard by me.
