1000 Season Chasing Stars

CHAPTER 54

Now it was Niko's turn to look at Luki coldly. “Laura is unhappy. Did you know Laura doesn't like coffee? Coffee makes his stomach nauseous. He cannot tolerate it. But yesterday you asked him to drink the coffee you ordered. You can't take care of him. That's why I won't give up chasing after Laura”.

Luki was shocked to hear Niko's revelation. Laura never told him that she could not drink coffee. Luki remembers when she handed her homemade coffee in the hospital and Laura drank it without hesitation. Luki stopped breathing. At that time Laura tried to hold back her dislike just to make Luki happy. Luki thought about what else Laura hadn't told her. All this time he tried to make Laura happy, but what happened was the opposite. Laura is trying to make Luki happy. Luki had no idea her sister was suffering behind her happiness. Luki never realized Laura's feelings after the accident. About the scar on his leg. And why Laura was unwilling to let a single man get close.

“I think I've made my point clear.” Niko stood up, then left Luki who looked in languish alone. After Niko left, Luki's guilt crept back into her heart. Luki grasped the coffee cup in front of her tightly, until her hands trembled so much that the cup fell and broke.

The waiter behind her looked worried and asked Luki. But Luki didn't realize anything. The other servants cleaned the broken cups and compressed Luki's hands with cold water. Luki only regained her senses when the coldness touched her palm. His hands did not hurt, but there were some scratches. She imagined the pain Laura was experiencing. The pain in her hands was nothing compared to what Laura felt in her legs. Her sister harbored pain without anyone knowing, including herself. In her apartment room, Luki looks at Laura on a photo of her desk. Luki could already master her guilt. Now he really2 wants to make Laura happy. A message came into his cell phone. Luki saw the contents. By Laura.

I made lunch for you.

I put it on your desk.

Don't forget to eat, yeah.

After reading the message, for the first time after such a long time, Luki shed tears.

Laura decides to return to work after delivering Luki's lunch. He realized he could not be separated from his work for too long. Although she was still a few days away, Laura missed her restaurant kitchen. So, after returning from Luki's office, he headed for Antonio's restaurant. His friends were a little surprised to see him coming. They knew Laura was supposed to be on leave.

“I have to say what...?” sigh Laura. “I miss you guys. I can't linger apart from you guys.

Laura smiled looking at her kitchen. Still clean without food stains. Only he was alone accompanied by his cooking equipment. Laura closed her eyes and opened them again. He was always happy in the kitchen. In this place, he could be a chef who made delicious food. He can be himself. Not the fragile woman in front of Niko, or the adim who hid the misery in front of Luki, nor the princess who felt a little envious of the happiness and togetherness of mama and papa.

Laura walked around the kitchen slowly. Just as he was about to pick up his cooking utensils, his right leg tripped over the iron chair. Laura cringed in pain. Breathing gasps. He leaned against the table until the pain in his leg subsided. He tried to catch his breath. Laura took the medicine from her bag and directly swallowed it. Slowly the pain in his leg disappeared.

Laura stood up slowly, then took the white apron from the top of the closet and put it on. A little relieved feeling. When he cooked the first meal of the day, his heart had already returned to normal. The aroma of cooking in the kitchen reassures his feelings.

Laura called the builder to fix the leaky roof. After the handyman came, Laura instead had to be disappointed. The repairman explained that it took several weeks to repair the roof and paint his bedroom. Laura had no other choice. He could not possibly worry continuously every time a heavy rain fell. He told the handyman to fix the bedroom as well as other rooms affected by water seepage.

As it must have been uncomfortable being at home during the unfinished repairs, Laura calls Luki and asks for permission to stay in her apartment. Laura makes the decision because Luki's apartment is closer to her workplace than her parents' second home.

Luki immediately agreed to it, and had Laura pack her clothes. He's coming to pick up Laura after work tonight. While going to pick up Laura at the restaurant, Luki meets Niko in the lobby in front of the apartment. They did not meet for several days after their last conversation. Luki is busy with her work and Niko is busy with her shop. When they meet again, there is a hidden feud between the two.

“Niko,” greet Luki. “I have not heard the input on our cooperation proposal”.

Niko was a little surprised. “I don't think you'll want to cooperate with me after our meeting a few days ago”. Luki smiled faintly. “I will not mix business and personal affairs. Why am I giving up a good business opportunity? Except... You can't be my business partner”.

“Of course not,” says Niko confidently. “I'm not afraid of you. I'll review the business proposal you submitted”. “OK”. Luki walked past Niko, but then turned around again. “So business problems. For personal matters, I will not let Laura be sad. You said Laura wasn't happy with me. Will Laura be happy with you? I doubt it”.

“Why don't you let Laura pick her own later?” Niko was not provoked by Luki's words. Luki was annoyed. “Laura has chosen me”. He deliberately ignites Niko's anger. He smiled with satisfaction. “I'll pick him up tonight. From today, she lives with me”.

“What?” Niko could not help her surprise. “Laura will stay with you?”.

Luki was very satisfied to see Niko's current look. His face was pale. “You lost Niko. I won.” Luki felt that Niko had the right to accept this from her. She broke Laura's heart. Mama said Laura cried for hours for Niko. Luki didn't know what Niko was doing until Laura was heartbroken, but Laura must have felt devastated by then. Luki just wants Niko to feel the same way. Let him feel the pain of a broken heart.
