"VIVIAN!!!"
Lucas woke up with a breath of air. He had just fallen asleep for a while, but it had been such a bad dream. And Lucas' screams startled Vivian, who was reading a novel beside her.
Lucas's gaze then rolled on the woman beside him. Her eyes widened to see Vivian was fine. Without saying anything Lucas immediately carried Vivian into his arms.
"What's up, Ge? Did you have a bad dream?" Vivian said as she returned Lucas' embrace.
Lucas nodded. "Yes, I had a bad dream. A very, very bad dream. It's so bad it makes me so scared." He said while tightening his arms.
Vivian did not know what dream Lucas had experienced to the point that his body trembled like this. Is it that bad? Vivian closed her eyes and hugged Lucas even tighter.
"What dream have you had, to the point that you're so scared?"
"I dream of losing you, don't talk about it again. Please, that dream is too painful to remember." Lucas said, closing his eyes.
Then Lucas let go of his embrace. His binary eyes looked at Vivian who was also staring at him, wistfully. "No need to worry, it's just a dream. And the dream is just a sleeping flower" Vivian said as she cupped Lucas's face, her fingers touching the bandage that covered the wound on her husband's cheek.
"Yes, I hope that dream never comes true. Kevin's wounds haven't healed yet, and I don't want anything similar to happen a second time."
"I will take good care of myself, so that your nightmares never come true. Ge, let's go home. I'm so tired and sleepy." Said Vivian who then replied nod by Lucas.
Lucas then started the engine. And in a matter of seconds the latest sports car was speeding up against the stretch of the night road. Not only was Vivian tired and sleepy, but herself as well.
.
They arrived home after a 30-minute drive. Vivian instantly dropped her body on the bed after being in her room. Lucas is still awake.
Lucas keeps thinking about the nightmare he just had. The dream was so real, and the painful tragedy in the dream happened because he could not take good care of Vivian.
Lucas could not imagine what if the nightmare had really come true. It's too painful to remember, but it's hard to forget. Then Lucas's gaze rolled on Vivian who had fallen asleep beside him.
"I'll always protect you, and I won't let that nightmare come true."
His big fingers rubbed Vivian's brown head gently. How much Lucas loved Vivian, and how much he did not want to lose the woman who had accompanied him for these few years. Vivian is everything to Lucas.
-
Warm sunlight has penetrated into the room shades of white gold through small sidelines on the open window. A woman is still asleep in her sleep, even though time has pointed to the number 06.00 in the morning.
Even the morning sunlight that hit his face did not make him piqued at all. Until the sound of the alarm he had set on his phone rang, making the pair of Hazel binaries instantly open in its entirety.
"Damn, I'm bad luck. I'll have to pick up Uncle Dastan at the airport!!!"
Vivian quickly rushed into the bathroom. He must not be late, or his Uncle will complain and grumble at length that makes his ears hurt. Dastan was actually an outsider, but he was already like a second father to Vivian.
Dastan himself is the adopted son of his grandmother and grandfather. He is a kind and warm man, from Dastan he gets the affection and warmth of a father. He also taught her about business.
"I don't think you're awake yet, Vi." Lucas said when he arrived inside. Lucas just finished the sport.
"Ge, why didn't you wake me up earlier? Today we have to go to the airport to pick up my uncle. He'll be arriving half eight less than a quarter. You better take a shower and after we have breakfast. I'm not getting yanked all out by my chatty uncle."
"You got one, Uncle?" Lucas squinted his eyes. Vivian nodded. "Then why didn't you ever tell me?"
"Because you didn't ask. She's overseas anyway, so I'll tell her it's free. You can't see her unless she goes back to Seoul."
"Yes, I'm taking a shower." Then Lucas moved in front of Vivian and left. Vivian decides to wait for Lucas at the dinner table.
-
A man has just set foot at Seoul International Airport. The man swept his gaze like he was looking for someone, it was possible that the person who would come to pick him up.
But unfortunately what he was waiting for had not yet revealed the trunk of his nose, until he finally felt a pat on his shoulder. "I'm here, Uncle." The man's eyes sparkled to see who was coming.
"VIVIAN!! My beautiful niece, Uncle can finally hug you again. Uncle thought you weren't coming to pick me up, Uncle. Uncle's been looking for you but your figure didn't meet either. It turns out you're here. Vivian, my beautiful little princess."
"Uh, Uncle. Stop calling me that ridiculous name. You embarrassed me in front of my husband,"
"Oh, in front of your husband. WHAT, IN FRONT OF YOUR HUSBAND!!!" Vivian covered her ears. Then he swept his eyes. The woman was embarrassed to see that they were now the center of attention because of Dastan. "Vivian, where's your husband. Quickly introduce him to, Uncle."
"I'm here, Mr. Dastan Robert!!" Someone from behind.
Glucke...
Dastan swallowed his saliva hearing a voice that sounded so familiar it was. The sound made her think of someone. The only person capable of making him look like the most stupid person in the world.
Stiffly Dastan turned. The world seemed to stop spinning this second as well, it turned out to be true of him, indeed that person. "Tu...Mr. Xi." He was half stammered.
Vivian who knew nothing could only squint her eyes and stare at the two alternately. So they already know each other? Think Vivian. But there's something strange, why his uncle looks scared of Lucas, whether there's anything between them.
"So you know each other? Why is the atmosphere so awkward and unpleasant? Uncle, how did you get to know Lu Ge? And why do you look like you're so depressed?" Vivian asked curiously.
"Because your husband was the one who used to make Uncle battered when he was a thug, when he was only 20 years old, and uncle 30 years old. But Uncle lost to him. He beat up Uncle for cutting up a foreign tourist." Dastan said while bowing his head.
"I remember when Uncle came home battered and crying like a boy. Hahaha, I should have thanked Lu Ge, for turning my Uncle into a better person."
"Let's just have a chat. We'd better get home by now, Uncle Dastan's gonna be really tired, too."
Vivian nodded. "You're right, Ge. Yeah, let's go home now."
