TRAUMATISED
EPS. 68. FIRST DATE'S.

Lea was still in Richard's arms, she did not expect that there would be any strange feeling after Richard hugged her. Like there's a firecracker erupting right now in Lea's stomach.

" Thank you, baby." Richard said again.

Lea who had not previously returned Richard's embrace, started to raise her hand and returned Richard's embrace. Slowly Lea's lips smiled then nodded.

" Please don't make me go back to the past." Lea said.

" Wouldn't. I'll make sure I'm always with you and make you happy. I love you, Lea." Richard and Lea just nodded.

Richard didn't mind it, he had been given a chance by Leah, so he wouldn't waste that chance. Richard just has to fight for Lea to love him too, and make Lea say he loves her too someday.

After a while they hugged each other, the two continued on their journey. And the two of them arrived at Leah's residence.

Apparently Riri had arrived first, but Riri still had to wait for his online motorcycle taxi and he waited at the Lea residence about 15 minutes ago.

" Riri, have you arrived?" Ask Lea.

" Uhum, I was there about fifteen minutes ago." Riri.

" Oh my God, sorry to keep you waiting, let's go in." Lea said.

Richard smiled seeing his lover seem a little nervous. It really doesn't look like the usual Lea.

" I'm home, huh?" Said Richard.

" You want to go home?" Ask Lea.

" Yes, you ladies, please enjoy some time together." Richard said with a smile.

" hm.. Heart on the road." Lea said.

" Richard rubbed Lea's hair, and finally left from there. Riri, who still does not know that Richard and Lea have officially become lovers, looks at Richard with pity.

After Richard left, Lea invited Riri inside.

" Now, finally home too.. Riri's waiting for you, son." Said Livy, who was sitting in the middle room.

" Yes, ma. Leah told him to come." Lea said.

" Ma, Lea and Riri will train.. " Lea said.

" Yes, honey. " Livy.

Leah pulled Riri's hand which was still confused, because Leah had not told herself what they were going to do. They arrived in a room that looked like a gym. There are many sports equipment there, and all that makes Riri round his eyes.

" I brought you here to practice. Juno didn't accept you because you weren't strong, right? Then I will train you so that you can become strong, and make that fool Juno regret for rejecting you.'' Lea said.

Riri lowered her head, she was already trying to forget about Juno actually, but it was indeed difficult.

'' No need, Lea. I've tried to forget him.'' Riri.

" Forgetting over him is good, but you still have to be strong. At least to protect yourself, and prove that you're not weak." Lea said.

" You won't be in the back when you're not with me, at least take their punches so they don't bother you anymore." Lea said.

Riri who previously had no determination, now became determined. True to what Lea said, he had to be strong to protect himself.

" You're right, Lea. Can you teach me?" Riri.

" That's what I'm waiting for, let's practice. From today, after school you should come here to practice." Said Lea, and Riri nodded.

" Okay, let's start warming up first." Lea said.

Riri according.. Right then and there, Riri under Lea's guidance began to practice early martial arts for beginners. Don't assume Lea is only capable of origin martial arts. Lea actually already holds a black belt of karate and taekwondo.

Of course Lea also has a certificate as proof of graduation or a sign of proof that Lea really passed holding a black belt of taekwondo and karate. But no one knows that, and only Livy knows.

They've been through two hours of training. Leah did not put the slightest bit of mercy on Riri. He's hard, like when his teacher taught him. The goal is so that students or people trained are not lazy.

" That's just the beginning of Ri, the higher the challenge and the harder it will be. " Lea said.

" Am I capable? Oh, my God, it feels like my leg is breaking." Riri.

Lea chuckled at hearing that, to be honest first when she started to practice martial arts for the first time was also the same as Riri. It felt like all the bones in his body were crushed.

" Able, if you often practice your body will also get more accustomed to it. To get here today enough, tomorrow I'll teach you the next step." Lea said.

" ah.. I can't stand, limp." Riri.

" Well, get up, don't spoil it.." Said Lea while extending her hand.

Riri welcomed Lea's hand and stood up. Lea was right, she should not be spoiled.. Must be firm and strong like Lea.

" Let's have dinner at my house, and the driver will drive you home." Lea said.

" No need Lea, it's okay. I'll just go home." Riri.

" You are like my sister." Lea said.

Lea pulled Riri's hand and took her to the dining table, where Livy and Hae In were already there.

" Hello Cake." Lea said.

" Hello, son.. are you practicing??" Ask Hae In.

" Yes, kek. more precisely train Riri." Lea said.

" If you want, grandfather can call you a martial master. So you can practice together." Said Hae In who did not know Lea was a black belt holder.

" Lea's already a black belt holder AND II, father." Livy.

" Eh??? Really??" Said Hae In and Riri together.

Livy chuckled and Lea nodded. It was funny that the faces of Hae In and Riri's grandfather were currently shocked.

" Woahs.. Not to be expected, you're already like a master." Riri.

" It's still a long way, there are still many levels. But I quit last year." Lea said.

" Why??" Ask Hae In.

" Lea used to learn the martial arts to vent Lea's dignity, Kek. Lea quit because the teacher who trained Lea, died." Lea said.

" You can find another teacher, son." Hae In.

" No cake needed, and Leah didn't want to be an athlete or a teacher. Lea just filled up Lea's free time." Lea said.

" Let's eat, the food will soon be cold if you keep chatting." Livy.

" Oh, yeah.. Come eat. eat. " Said Hae In.

Livy did not want to make Lea sad, when Lea lost her martial master, she was always angry. Because that teacher taught me how to get Lea to control her emotions.

After dinner, Lea escorted Riri to the front of the house. Lea really told the driver to take Riri to his boarding house.

" Thank you Lea." Riri.

" Hm, heart hearts on the way." Said Lea while waving her hand.
