HUG ME: Love and Friendship

WALK TO BAZAR AMAL

CHAPTER 34

They both take Joy to follow Lulu to hand over the money she collected to the committee.

As soon as Lulu was talking to her senior committee, Drake and Terra sat on a bench with a small table available there. Joy and Pican were still watching the crowd.

"We eat first. What do you want to eat, Yaya?" ask Drake.

"That," Joy pointed to a sweet-roasted sweet potato vendor.

"Sweet baby?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"All right, wait here for a second."

"Wait, let me go" Drake was about to leave, but Terra offered to leave.

"All right."

Drake sat back while watching the situation. He also notices Pican who keeps teasing Joy.

"Issha. You little crocodile," he murmured with an ear.

Actually there is no dirt in his ear, only he likes the tingling sensation when he scratches it.

When Lulu arrives, the girl carries three bottles of home-made juice. Opening the glass bottle for Joy, she asked.

"Where's Terra?"

"Aunt Terra is buying sweet potatoes" Joy replied.

"Oohhhhhhhhhhh.. This drink."

"Thank you."

Lulu sat down and glanced towards Drake. He noticed Drake's face looking bright white in the sun. Just an ordinary appearance was actually able to make Lulu fascinated.

"If I see, the bruise on my sister's face is better, yes" he said.

"Hmmm.." Drake nodded as his hands reached for his juice drink.

"Let me go" Lulu opened a bottle for Drake.

TRUCK

"It's brother.."

"Thank you."

As Drake took a sip of his drink, Lulu again glanced at him silently. He's watching Drake drink. Her up and down neck bead and the glitter of sweat flowing from her forehead and neck were sexy in Lulu's eyes.

Drake looked over because he felt watched. And he found out that Lulu was watching him.

"What's wrong? Why look at me like that?" ask Drake astonished.

"Eh, there's nothing," Lulu became misbehaved.

He who was nervous also grabbed his drinking bottle and gulped his juice hurriedly.

"OHAW! UHUK!"

Lulu choked on her juice drink until her face turned red. Seeing that, Drake felt pity and walked up to him.

"You okay?" drake asked, patting the girl on the back.

Lulu nodded as she took a slow breath, "Hmm, I'm fine."

"Thank God. I thought you were blown away by my good looks to the choking like that, hik hik ¹," joked Drake so casually without any burden. He even sat back down and grimaced in front of Lulu.

Lulu glares. For some reason, the joke from Drake's mouth was really precise.

"Eh, that..." Lulu tucked her hair behind her ear.

CLIP

Drake sees Joy staring at him alternately with Lulu, "What! Why??"

Joy shook her head grimacingly, "There's nothing, xixixi."

Terra again brought a brown paper bag containing sweet roasted sweet potatoes that she bought.

"Huuff, it's been a long time, huh?"

"Yes" Joy replied.

"Hmm," Drake answered almost simultaneously with Joy.

"Yes, right? You see, the line is long. Likely, the sweet fragrant smell that spread around is what makes it a lot of buyers. Well, now try tasting."

With a spirit and mouth that smiled widely, Joy and Pican reached out to receive the sweet yam from Terra's hand. But who would have thought, Terra actually gave it to Drake first.

"Come on. Try it." said Terra while feeding the sweet roasted sweet potato in her hand to Drake.

NGAAAAK...

(crows crisp sound)

Joy and Pican stared at Terra with a face that scowled in disappointment.

"Eh, what's wrong?" ask him unconsciously.

Drake who received the yam from Terra's hand smiled as he put the yam on the table. Then, he grabbed another yam from a paper bag.

After dividing the two yams he took, Drake blew it for a while and then he gave it to Joy and Pican.

"Huuff. let's eat together," he said.

"Ehehehe,, Thank you, uncle," Joy responded happily to the gift.

Finally, they enjoyed the sweet roasted sweet potato together. The sweet taste of sweet potatoes is getting delicious after adding a flush of honey and butter.

"Oh no, I have to go home now! I forgot that my grandmother asked me to buy chives after I finished buying candy.." Pican suddenly remembered something.

"Well.." said Terra.

"Then I go home, uncle, Yaya."

"Yes. Quick go there."

"See you soon, daaaahh!" Pican is in a hurry to leave.

In the end, the four of them spent their day enjoying and trying to buy what was there. Terra bought some books and accessories. Drake bought what Joy wanted.

Well, it's like Joy's father he's.

TRACKS

Lulu leaned her violin against the chair in her yard. Sighing softly, he sat down beside Drake who was staring at the clear sky.

That afternoon, Drake drove her home after they had brought Terra home first because there was a need.

"It looks like it's raining. Look at that cloud, it carries a lot of water in it.

Just now Drake gave his assessment, that it was impossible for rain to fall when the weather was as bright as that, suddenly the rain really came with a rush.

YOAAASSSHH!

"Whoaah! It's raining!" exciting Joy.

"Eh?? Right rain?????" Drake gawking.

He was amazed by Lulu's extremely accurate estimation.

"B oohh, Lulu. If it hadn't happened by chance, I would have called you a great fortune teller. Well, that's right, you're talking about rain and now it's really raining!"

Drake held his butt to the side and sat holding his hand to his chin while looking at Lulu with an admiring look. There was even a slight smile on her lips that finally made Lulu blush.

"Eh, that..."

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Drake did not realize that his attitude made the girl he was staring at so wrong with his face reddened.

Plus at that time, only the two of them remained as adults, the atmosphere suddenly became very shahdu. With just a look in the eye, Lulu's heart was beating very fast.

"What feeling is this? Why does my heart seem to be screaming and trying to jump out.."

Lulu talked about the feelings in her heart. Is that love?

"Aunt Lulu, can I see our flower garden?" Joy suddenly comes and interrupts.

"Eh, of course. Go," Lulu's mind was blown away.

"Asiiikk!"

Joy ran happily while playing under the rain. He did not realize that it had just disrupted Lulu's concentration.

"Hey, don't rain! I don't want to take care of you if you're sick" Drake said, turning his head. Attention distracted.

"Calm down, uncle! I won't get sick just because of the rain!" reply Joy.

"Hiss, this kid. It's hard to tell," Drake crossed his arms while changing his sitting position by leaning on the back of the chair.

Lulu is the same. He threw away his face and tried to regulate his heartbeat, "A do you want to drink something warm, brother?"

"Hmm, wait. Actually I drank a lot. Plus, it's raining. I'm a pee kebelet. Can I just take a ride to the toilet?"

"Could only. Let me accompany you," replied Lulu.

"Eh buset, will you accompany me, to the toilet?" Drake misunderstood.

"Ah, that, instead of accompanying such, I mean I'll show you where the toilet is," Lulu replied misbehavingly.

"Oh yeah okay, hehe."

Just a few minutes later, Drake came out of the bathroom. He saw Lulu washing her hands. Coincidentally, his sleeve was clinched all the way to the elbow.

GLUE

There's a purplish-red scar on Lulu's wrist.

"Eh?? Your hand??" Drake accidentally saw a scar like a strong grip wound.

And since Drake suddenly appeared behind her, Lulu immediately lowered her sleeves back.

"Ah, brother is done?"

"Hm. Ituu, your wrist. Did someone hurt you?"

"T doesn't. It's just a small wound."

"really? Let me see.." Drake reached out his hand and tried to touch Lulu's hand to help if it was a serious injury.

However, Lulu's overreaction makes Drake think. Did someone hurt him? If there was, he would make calculations with the person.

"Not necessary, not necessary, brother. Really am. I'm fine," Lulu was really frightened and tried to hide her left hand behind her body.

Drake's forehead shriveled. It felt like there was something Lulu was hiding. But because Lulu doesn't allow him to examine the wound, Drake doesn't want to force it.

"Yes already. But if you feel like you need my help, you can say it directly."

Lulu nodded.

•••••

At 18:00

Because the rain had subsided, Drake said goodbye. Even so, the sky still left cloudy clouds throughout their journey home.

"Hatchihh!!" Joy sneezed and looked cold.

"You're cold?"

Joy nodded and did not make a sound. His face looked lethargic.

"Well, who said it wouldn't hurt to run in the rain?" Drake sighed and grumbled.

As soon as she gets home, Drake holds Joy inside. The child becomes quieter when not feeling well.

And like a father, Drake immediately changed Joy's clothes and drove her to bed. He even made her a warm drink.

"Drink warm ginger, yes. Let your body not shiver in the cold" Drake said, helping Joy sit up.

SRUPOTS

"What drink is this?"

"Jahe."

"Huwek, it's so spicy."

"If sweet is syrup."

"Add a little sugar, can't you uncle?"

"It's got sugar. If sweetness reduces the benefits of ginger itself," replied Drake.

"But...."

"Have a drink," Drake forces Joy to drink.

For fear of being scolded by Drake, Joy complies even though she is overwhelmed when sipping a drink that she thinks is not tasty and not sweet.

Turns out, Drake who is not so fond of sweet it makes a ginger drink with a little sugar. Unlike Joy who really likes sweet drinks.

And that night, after she gave Joy a ginger drink, she asked the little boy to go to sleep. The blanket that Joy wore to the neck.

"Now sleep. After tonight's rest, tomorrow you'll be healthy again."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Hm."
