1000 Season Chasing Stars

CHAPTER 59

The two were involved in tennis for a while. They don't count numbers. The longer Luki's punch gets harder. Niko gets overwhelmed getting Luki's ball back. He felt like Luki was angry with him. But don't know what about.

The ball hit his left arm. “Argh!” shout Niko. Nicky shouted from across the field. “Did my punch hurt your hand?” “Ya!” Niko shouted back.

“Good!” uki grinning. “I don't regret doing it, because I did it for Laura. The blow was because you broke her heart years ago.”

Niko's breathing gasps. Sweaty forehead. He took the ball and started to serve back. “You need to know something,” he said on the sidelines returning the ball. “The girl who released my work on Julien is Laura.”

Luki lost her concentration as a result of Niko's words. Biko's ball shot off a meter to his left.

“Laura realized my dream,” continued Niko again while panting.

Luki picked up the falling ball behind her and started to deliver a backlash at Niko. This time Niko replied with all her might and hit Luki's stomach.

“Arrgh!” uki groaned in pain holding her stomach.

Niko throws her racket and approaches uki. “I love him,” he said loudly. “I've loved it for eight years even though Laura wasn't by my side. And when I met her again, my feelings didn't change. It's even getting stronger. I love Laura, Luki.”

Luki also threw her racket and stood up. He's approaching Niko. “I just need to know how much you love her. I know now.”

Niko frowned in astonishment. “What do you mean?”

“There's something you need to know as well.” Uki gulps. “Laura is my sister.” “What?” Niko was shocked.

Luki begins to tell the beginning of her meeting with Laura until she finally finds out Laura is her half-sister. Next to her, Niko heard Luki's explanation without saying a word.

“Do you understand now?” tanya uki ended her explanation. “ as her sister, I handed Laura to you. I want you to take care of her for the rest of your life. But, if you hurt Laura just a little bit, I'll do something worse than just a bruise on your left hand.”

Without looking at Luki, Niko immediately turned around and ran out of the tennis court.

Luki smiled. She's sure Niko must be seeing Laura now. Heart relieved. Laura deserves happiness.

Luki's hand reached into her pants pocket and pulled out a ring. The star ring she accidentally took from Laura's hand a few days ago when Laura fell asleep. She knew Laura would be looking for Niko to make a new ring. If Niko really loved Laura, she wouldn't mind the scar on Laura's leg. Luki decided not to tell Niko about it. Laura had to tell Niko herself. “Reach your happiness, little sister,” whispered uki with a smile.

Laura took a slow breath. He tried to remember every corner of the restaurant kitchen. The last customer for the afternoon was gone. The restaurant is closed. Laura will tell Antonio that he can't work tonight. He'll tell his family about his leg surgery. His feet started to hurt again. Laura rubbed it slowly. In a moment, he said to his feet, hold on a little.

Laura came out of the kitchen. He saw his quiet restaurant. There are only a few servants and Maya left. Laura will tell Maya after she tells her parents. Maya is like her family. When Laura was about to enter Antonio's office, the door of his restaurant opened. Laura turned around and saw Niko panting looking at her.

Laura's heart was very painful. I can't face it now, he said inwardly.

Niko went straight to Laura and stood one step ahead of her. “ uki your sister. Not your girlfriend.”

The other maids and Maya instantly stepped aside, leaving behind both of them. They must have realized that whatever Laura and Niko were trying to talk about, it must be personal.

“I never said that uki my girlfriend,” answered Laura calmly, contrary to her unreasonable feelings. “You assumed yourself. How did you know about this?”

Laura should have guessed it. His brother always did whatever he wanted. But Laura is not sure why Luki decided to come clean to Niko.

“I can't face you now, Niko,” said Laura sadly. “Please, go.” Niko shook her head. “I won't go. I'm not leaving you again. I've liked you for a long time. Eight years in a different country. But my feelings never changed. Your face always looms over me wherever I am.”

Laura was moved to hear Niko's confession. But the pain in his leg resuscitated him. He could not be next to Niko. “I've forgotten you, Niko. You're just part of my past.” Laura tried to say it as cruel as possible.

Niko nodded in disbelief. He took a piece of paper from his pocket and showed it to Laura. “You never forget me. I found this paper at my exhibit when you dropped your bag. You always carry the paper I gave you. Just like I always carry a sketch of your gift.”

With her other hand, Niko showed Laura a sketchbook. Niko showed page after page of her draft picture to Laura. It started with a star ring that first impressed Laura. “I always draw my best designs in your sketchbook.”

Laura clasped her own hands until they turned red. He tried to restrain his feelings. “Stop, Niko,” he said asking Niko to stop showing pictures of his plans.

Niko stopped and put her sketchbook on the nearby dining table. “Why do you still deny your feelings?”

Laura shakes. Even if his heart hurts to say the next thing to Niko, he has to say it. “ I don't like you, Niko.” I love you, he said in his heart.

“You're lying,” refute Niko.

“I'm not lying.” Laura looked straight at Niko's eyeballs. He took the small paper that had accompanied him for eight years from Niko's hand and tore it into small fragments. “Our relationship is over.”

Niko looked at Laura with deep sadness in her eyes. “Why did you do it?”

“I told you, I don't like you anymore,” said Laura coldly.

“I don't trust him.” Niko looked at Laura earnestly.

“I don't care whether you believe it or not.” Laura pretends not to care about Niko's feelings. Ebih is sick now rather than later. “I don't like you. I want you to go and not bother me anymore.”

“Didn't you agree yesterday that we were friends? Why is your attitude changing so drastically now?” Niko still won't give up.

Laura laughed cynically. “Friends? Niko, we'll never be friends. Admit it, you didn't expect me to just be your friend either, did you?” Niko fell silent.

“You said you liked me, didn't you?” laura asked as she took a slow breath.

“Amat very,” replied Niko directly.

Laura tried to calm her heart and said, “If you like me so much, you should have respected my wishes.”
