The Love of Luke
Getting Pained Again

"We're friends, he's my fiancee" said Luke and I at the same time that Mr. Luke said I was his fiancee while I said that he was my friend.

I was just as shocked and looked directly at Mr. Luke until then Mr. Luke looked at me with a sharp gaze and he was like frowning his eyebrows at me so I could only look down with feeling erratically.

"Eeehhh ..What do you say is true, friend or fiancee?" Bimo asked as he looked in wonder.

And Elis who continued to investigate by looking closely at me at that time.

I actually felt confused myself and also felt a sense of uncertainty at that moment, I could only stare at Master Luke's face, which gave me a pretty sharp look, and I didn't understand what he meant.

"How about this, what should I say to the two of them now?" My mind continued to feel its own wonder and confusion at that moment.

Until not long Elis came back near me and he kept giving me a sharp and probing look, I know he must be very suspicious of me at the moment and very curious about what my relationship with Mr. Luke really is, the gaze of Elis and Bimo at that time felt even more gripping and more frightening compared to the gaze of the previous master Luke.

I myself could only feel nervous and continue to stare towards them by raising my two bewildered eyebrows to face the two of them as to what they were now.

If I were to say that I was Master Luke's fiancee exactly as master Luke had told them before, I was just afraid that he would get angry and dislike me even more, but if I say Mr. Luke is my friend, he gives me a creepy look at that time, especially if I say that again later, so that I was quite confused and in lema between the two options back then.

"Vivian.why are you quiet, and why do you look so nervous?" Saying continues to approach me.

"Did you and Mr. Luke have something that is kept secret from both of us?" Bimo added making me even more anxious and scared.

Fortunately, at the right time, Mr. Luke answered her immediately, pulling my hand and putting me behind his body, it was as if he was protecting me with his body and he was facing my two friends who kept wondering at me very seriously like an Intel who kept suspecting me and looking at me very seriously serious.

"Nothing, he is my fiancee and there is no secret whatsoever that you are hiding" Luke told the truth before Bimo and Elis at the time.

Not only Elis and Bimo were shocked to hear it but I was just as shocked myself and I just let out a very surprised voice and stared at him at that moment.

"HUH? I said it loud enough that even I was the one who looked the most shocked among Elis and Bimo who should have been more shocked than me.

"God...Vivian why do you look so surprised, what Mr. Luke says is true?" Bimo asked seeking my confession,

"I.iya.it's true, I was engaged to Mr. Luke for quite a while" I replied to them as I lowered my head in embarrassment and uncertainty.

I said that because I thought it was Mr. Luke who decided to tell my two friends all the truth at that time, I also feel very calm and happy because finally Mr. Luke wants to acknowledge me as his fiance in front of others even though they are both not other people because they are both my best friends.

When I replied with a nod and agreed to all the words of Master Luke, immediately Elis and Bimo opened their eyes very wide and they even kept their mouths very wide open.

Elis himself just shook his head, he did not expect that his fiancee Vivian was the master, Lukas.

"Geez Vivian why didn't you tell me that your fiancee was Mr Luke?" Elis said to me at that moment,

"I'm sorry Elis but you never asked me who my fiance is, so it's not my fault anyway I told you today" my reply apologized immediately to Elis because I did not want him to get angry and go on a rampage in front of Master Luke.

For it could be the end of me, if Mr. Luke knew that I had two very strange and wonderful friends, although Elis is a nerd and always attaches importance to lessons he is the single man of a lifetime and always dedicates his precious time to learning and learning at all times.

Sometimes I myself am very amazed by him who has never been bothered with many men who often give him gifts as well as a letter on his desk or in his locker.

"Well, if it's true that you're engaged to Mr. Luke why did I see Mr. Luke coming to school to see Cecil when you weren't in school?" Elis asked as he stared intently at Master Luke.

"Aahh ..iya really, that time when I and Elis saw him directly Mr. Luke came to the school and went into the teacher's room, then after going out he walked to Cecil and chatted with him, Cecil said Mr. Luke came to school to look for him and he also said that Mr. Luke always chased him endlessly but he always refused because he felt he liked Kaylo more at the time, I can still remember the incident very much" added Bimo who made me very surprised when he heard it.

I did not expect at all that Mr. Luke would actually do all such things, but I think again that nothing is impossible for a lord of Luke, Luke, for I myself also knew that at first the woman whom he wanted to make his future wife was Cecil not me, even though I was the little girl he was actually looking for, but he seemed to keep forgetting me and not remember a little bit about me or the little girl well.

I ventured to look at Mr. Luke and tried to inquire about all that, but the answer actually made me even more sick and I was really embarrassed to get such cold treatment from my own hands.

"Master... Is all that true?" I asked him expectantly that he would say no then.

As soon as I felt completely crushed and upset, my own body felt extremely limp at that moment, even Bimo and Elis were just as shocked when they heard the confession from master Luke who answered him so easily.

Mr. Luke, who saw everyone, immediately changed the expression on their faces and looked at him with emotion and sadness from Vivian, he must have felt very confused because what Mr. Luke really meant, he did come to school and indeed met with Cecil but he also came there to make permission for Vivian, he said, meeting with Cecil was just an accident for him back then.

But the fault of Mr. Luke is, he did not explain all that, he did not say everything in detail to Vivian and always made Vivian have to second-guess herself with what she meant at all times.

It might be difficult enough for me to accept all of this, but I kept trying to calm down then and quickly took a deep breath and threw it away slowly, I tried to hold back the tears from appearing in my eyes especially if it stagnated and fell on my cheek.

I didn't want to look weak and fragile in front of her, I was just afraid she would just say that I was a whiny woman if I couldn't contain the emotions as well as the health I felt back then.

"Why do you shut up, do you want to go to school or go back home?" Sir Luke quickly awakened me,

"I'm going to school you just go to the office sir thank you for delivering me" I looked back at him while displaying a forced smile in me.

I intended to leave right then and there because Bimo and Elis had already pulled my hand long ago and they were trying to get me to get out of there as fast as they could, because they care too much and are sensitive to my feelings, in contrast to Mr. Luke who always does not trust me let alone understand my feelings.

Even when I was like this and was about to leave to avoid it faster, instead, he held me back and called my name back to me at that time, I could hardly stand the tears that had been welling up in your eyes at that time.

"Ehhh .wait Vivian, remember you two don't let anyone know if he is my fiancee, just you two know, besides don't know, or I'll find you two again and make you insecure in business and all things" Mr. Luke warned Elis and Bimo at the time.

I was still pensively staring with a stare that began to blur and blur because tears had accumulated so much in my eyes, I immediately lowered my head because I did not want Master Luke to see my tears at that moment, until he quickly left there and then Elis and Bimo could grumble loudly and as much as they cursed Master Luke.

"CK...the arrogant and outrageous fundamentals of man how could he treat our Vivian so casually like this, he really irritated me so much!" Snapped at Elis while clenching his two hands of emotion,

"Based on a man on a flat face, he pretends to say that and play our best friend" added Bimo who is no less equally upset.

I was so happy and grateful, even though he spoke so harshly to me today and disappointed me several times, but when he admitted that I was his fiancee in front of my two best friends it made me very happy and I felt enough of him to admit myself.

But in fact he only allowed Elis and Bimo to know all that, and from there I began to realize that indeed he still did not want me to be his fiancee and he was still forced to betrothed to a woman like me

It felt like he was flying so high up by her that he suddenly slammed me to the ground so hard that my heart broke and I couldn't if I didn't cry then.

I kept my head down with tears slowly continuing to barge out of my eyes even though I myself was very unwilling to let out these tears, I didn't want to look like a weak woman, either, moreover, this is only about a man.

"I was wrong.I was wrong and stupid because I wanted to get engaged with someone like him" I said slowly while still with a down and limp position.

Bimo and Elis who were looking at me so pitifully back then, they just clasped my hands tightly and smiled so widely at me, not forgetting to record also gave me a very encouraging speech again to go through everything with a more spacious heart in the future.

"Vivian don't think about it anymore, if you really like Mr. Luke but he doesn't appreciate you at all and doesn't think of you like that, it doesn't matter, that doesn't mean you're not beautiful or not worthy of her, it's just that she's a fool for wasting a woman as perfect as you" Elis told me.

The words of Elis truly nourished me with renewed vigor, and made me no longer expect much more from my relationship with Luke.

It seemed that what Elis had said to me back then was indeed the most correct thing, and perhaps I should not have forced my will long ago, not trying to be a perfect and wonderful woman in the presence of Luke's master, but she never even glanced at me.

Maybe in his eyes it was just a Cecil and I might just be a useless substitute and he only needed a servant who could serve all his needs all along, or he just used you to accompany him so as not to be lonely and he could forget about Cecil quickly if I was present in his life.

I kept guessing and kept thinking about it, until Bimo took my hand and took me to the school building immediately.

"Aishh ..already already..this is almost noon, the bell will actually sound again, let's go to class first, and you should just forget about it, we'll pretend we don't know anything or hear anything if you're embarrassed and uncomfortable" Bimo told me.

He was a really good friend and they were both always there when I was happy or sad, always there when I had no one I could not count on, and being the first friend to accept me even though I was an adopted son and Cecil's rival at school.

I was completely overwhelmed by all the kindness that Bimo and Elis had given me all this time, they have never troubled me at all and have never troubled me but I feel myself always making them trouble at all times.
