Mr. Hephephobias

CHAPTER 119 - Will You Merry Me

'Without Someone'

This was the music that Lusia was currently hearing, the sound that made Lusia seem drugged. He seemed to focus on enjoying it and then fell down. "Isn't this our chance to enjoy it together?" muttered Lucia saw the orchestra players in front of her.

The song that was being played had already reached its peak, already, now only the sound of piano music that flowed so melow followed by lighting lights one by one began to go out and only a few left that made the bright hall turned into a dim atmosphere.

Now only music is heard that is only played by a pianist, his figure is far in the corner and covered by other players in front of him. The sound of the piano was getting louder and changed with a voice that surprised Lucia.

Lighting lights are getting more and more out. Not long after, a spotlight shone on the piano player and one more spotlight panned on the big screen up there. A screen that now displays a video.

"Do we have to record it?" I heard a very familiar voice.

Lucia's eyes immediately stared intently at the origin of the voice. He stared at the screen displaying the video he had recorded with Rayn and the sound was Rayn's voice. Seen in the video being played, Lucia seemed busy positioning the camera towards her and Rayn who was sitting with a painting tool in her hand.

Lucia asks Rayn to put the painting tool down and focus on the camera. "I want to have proof when you say love to me" Lucia told Rayn on camera.

"Why should I do it?" ask Rayn.

"What do you mean, you don't want to say it?" lusia asked with a confused look on her face suddenly.

Rayn laughed, she almost disappointed Lucia. Rayn said why she had to say I love you to the camera while the words she would only say to the woman next to her at this time. Without another word Rayn immediately kissed Lucia's cheek in front of the camera.

A kiss that made Lucia surprised. "Yaaa, everyone will see it" lusia complained embarrassed because the kiss was still recorded on camera.

"Aren't you recording it to show everyone?" asked Rayn ignorant to see Lucia's face flushed red.

"Not that." Not until Lucia finished her words Rayn again kissed Lucia.

The kiss this time landed in Lucia's lips, he then said his expression of love.

"I Love You Lucia. Are you satisfied now? I'm just going to tell you, not because of it and the camera just needs to record it" Rayn said, making Lucia even more embarrassed.

The sweet video that played was not only witnessed by Lucia at this time, but also witnessed by all orchestra players. Not only that, the video is still spinning showing another recording. The video continues, this time the video was recorded in Rayn's painting room. Rayn shows a sketch of the Girl in the Horse Ponytails drawn by Rayn first.

"Maybe you already know who this Horse-pointed Girl from Arka is. Haitssss. I can't believe Arka would betray."

"This is a sketch I made after our first meeting that time. I remember you very much, and still remember you even at our second meeting in Galery. Do you know, I was leaving Galery at first, but I saw you in front of the elevator and I ventured to follow you. It's amazing, fate brought us back together and you saved me again for the second time."

"I purposely made you come to the Villa. At that time I could see that you were very scared and probably thought I was a psychopath, but I wanted to know more about why you could touch me. I'm sure Arka didn't tell you until this part."

Now the video goes to a different tape. Seen in the video that Rayn went to Lucia's room, where Lucia was seen sleeping soundly.

"Look, she's a very meaningful woman in my life, a woman I want to protect" Rayn said, tidying up the strands of hair that covered Lucia's eyes. Then the tape recorded Rayn wanting to convey something to Lucia.

"Eemmm, maybe you'll ask me when I'm doing this recording, I'll show you" Rayn said of the time and date on her phone.

The video was taken in Dervilia, the first night of the day Lusia slept there after receiving a surprise romantic birthday from Rayn.

Now Rayn is recording herself and looking back at the camera with a shady look.

"I'm sorry for making you choose me. Do you remember the first time you came and stretched out your hand? At that time I refused it not because I did not want to accept your hand, but because I was afraid. I'm afraid I'm going to get you involved further with the weak and have phobias like me right now."

"How can I drag another person to ruin with me. How could I be selfish by wasting your life just to be my defense. That's what I thought at the time."

"But you said that if I could continue to rely on you, rely on you and ask you to stay by my side. No matter when I'm going to heal or maybe it's never going to happen to me you said it's going to stay by my side, be a shield for me and hold my hand. You even held out your hand even though you knew my condition. At that moment I started trying to get myself to let someone else into my life and you were the first."

"I was confident that if you were by my side then everything was enough and we could be happy. But I just realized that I was weak when I stood there, when you were hurt because of me, while you were fighting to survive. In front of that operating room door, I realized I would never be able to protect you. It was never imagined by me that it would happen to you and I was so scared"

Rayn drops her tears in the video. The video even features a portrait of Lucia lying in a coma. Lucia who watched the video also cried.

"I'm so afraid that if you won't open your eyes again, I'm so afraid that you'll leave me. I'm so scared. When I want to run, you stretch out your hand a second time. I'm not even the perfect guy, not the guy who can give you the romantic date you want, holding your hand anywhere like any other couple. But you keep pushing me to this fate."

The video has reached its last duration and the piano music stops. Now the lights were on Lucia who was sitting on the bleachers and another lamp was on a pianist who had just stopped his game.

The man grabbed a bouquet of flowers that had been on the piano earlier. It's hard to believe that the man turned out to be Rayn. Rayn stood up from her seat and walked over to Lucia. One hand Rayn holds a bouquet of beautifully arranged flowers and the other hand holds the mic she uses to talk right now. With a neat suit stelan, Rayn looks very handsome and seductive. Now the video that appears on the screen is a live recording that highlights Rayn and Lucia.

Rayn walked towards Lucia and revealed her heart. "Thank you, thank you for choosing me. Thank you for staying and always being by my side. Thank you for accepting all my shortcomings. Thank you for loving someone like me, Lucia. "

Now Rayn has arrived and is standing right in front of Lucia. Lucia wiped her tears, Rayn gave a bouquet of flowers in her hand to Lucia. Lucia receives the flower while unraveling the happy smile of surprise Rayn prepared for her.

Rayn grabbed onto Lucia's hand and grabbed onto it. "Now, it won't all end with just saying thank you because I'm starting to get greedy. I want more from you and I don't want to hold back or wait anymore. Not just your love, not just your presence by my side. I want your life, all the time you have left to be with me until I'm my age."

Rayn stared fixedly at Lucia's face. "Lussia..., Will You Merry me?"

The crystal eye bead with pliable eyelashes was looking gently at Rayn's handsome face with red lips that broke the smile looking fixedly at her. Between disbelief, haru and happiness mixed to make Lusia back shed tears of happiness.

"Ray..."

Call Lucia who still does not believe and believe if everything is just a dream. A question that makes women's hearts nervous and racing.

Not getting an answer from Lucia, Rayn resumed her speech. "As I said, if I become very greedy now. That wedding, I want to do it here before we get back."

"Before we return? That means.." said Lucia restrained.

"As you know, I may not have been able to prepare a fancy wedding for you due to phobias, but I promise if we'll do it later.

Rayn realizes that her current phobia does not allow them to hold a luxurious wedding reception that can be attended by family and friends. Binding a promise attended only by loved ones as a witness, that's what Rayn can do right now. But he promised that they would have that dream reception when the time came.

"I'm sorry Rayn.." said Lucia.

"I'm sorry?" rayn asked with a whimpering heart.

"The wedding, I couldn't do it" Lucia continued.

Rayn's heart was pounding at the words of forgiveness that Lusia said. The instant his body became cold, it felt as if cold blood was flowing so rapidly throughout his body. Is Lucia still unable to accept her flaws? This was the question that made Rayn try her hardest to hold her body limp in just a matter of seconds.

Aduduhh, Author himself made melted the same visual Rayn if it was neat like this. But does this handsome guy get a rejection ?
