CHAPTER 150 - Undanga Reunion
Lucky after yesterday's incident, today is Lucia's holiday, so she can avoid meeting her co-workers. Lucia sends a chat message to Dave, he asks Dave to tell him all about the gossip that happened at the Cafe due to the romantic drama done by Rayn.
Dave asks Lucia not to worry too much as she will help Lucia clean up her information-hungry colleagues. "Sir Lucia don't worry about the many ways I can break their kepo's soul" Dave said in a phone call with Lucia.
Lucia is very grateful and praises Dave if he is very reliable at every appropriate moment. Lusia will treat Dave another time as a thank you. Not refusing, Dave asked Lusia to comply.
Rayn looked at Lucia who looked busy in a phone call, even she was smiling happily. Lucia ends the call with Dave and greets Rayn who is walking towards her.
"What makes you so happy?" rayn asked and sat down beside Lucia. The two are currently sitting together in Rayn's reading room.
Lucia refuses to tell Rayn. Rayn looked disappointed but she didn't want to force either. Rayn will always give time to Lucia with her world as well as her privacy. Rayn then decided to return to the painting room to continue the painting work that he had to finish immediately.
Rayn was busy in her painting workspace while Lucia busied herself ordering some plant and fruit seeds online. On her day off next week, Lucia wants to spend every precious moment with Rayn. Currently there was nothing that Lucia could do, while she did not want to disturb Rayn who was already busy from the morning in the painting room.
Lucia just busy herself reading books Rayn collection fairy tale. Lucia stared at the row of bookshelves filled with Rayn's neatly arranged collection of fairy tales. She still finds it hard to believe that all these books belong to her husband who loves fairy tales.
When Lucia had determined which book she would read, Reisa suddenly contacted her. Reisa tells Lucia that her schoolmates are going to hold a reunion and this time they expect Lusia to attend.
Reisa knew, maybe this time Lusia would also refuse again like the previous year. From the past until now, Lucia did not want to attend a reunion event that was always held regularly by her school friends. This is because of the events of several years ago, the day on which the last day of Lucia was present. Still vividly remembered in Lucia's memory when all those who were there belittled and demeaned Lucia.
It's no secret that Lucia was able to attend the elite school with the help of scholarships, which is why her rich friends never considered her classmates. Even they didn't care when Lucia decided to quit her class chat group. Lucia quit the group because she felt she didn't fit in with their conversation.
Lucia immediately rejected Reisa's invitation, she was reluctant to attend and asked Reisa to confirm things
that's to them. Reisa advises Lucia to attend, because Reisa wants Lucia to show them if she lives her life well. Lucia refused to attend and asked Reisa to understand.
Reisa only wants Lucia to break the talk of those who say that Lucia lives relying on her face to attract and deceive the rich men. With the current status of Lucia who is married then it is enough to prove if what they say is not true.
"I don't care what they think of me" Lucia said.
"Who? and what do they think of you?" rayn asked suddenly reappeared with a curious look on his face.
Seeing Rayn who was currently in front of him, Lucia suddenly fell silent looking at Rayn, she even ignored Reisa who was still in a phone call with her. Lucia felt if what Reisa said was true, what she was hiding for. It will only make them more have wild thoughts about him.
"Reisa, I will attend" Lucia said in a firm voice and hung up.
Lucia did not want to prove anything to them, she just needed to be present to face them and show the truth. He did not need to hide anymore because he did not commit a mistake or sin.
"Did something happen?" rayn asked again for not getting an answer from Lucia.
Lusia smiled. "There's nothing Rayn. Reisa told me about a reunion with a schoolmate. I just want to attend" explained Lucia.
Seeing the look on Lucia's face made Rayn feel a little anxious. "Do you really want to go?" rayn asked who could feel something different from the look on Lusia's face.
Lucia replied with a nod, then she turned the discussion to ask if Rayn was in need of something that made her leave the painting room. That's not usually, because every time Rayn is busy at work, Rayn will always be there without going out. Sometimes he even refuses to eat.
"I'm having trouble painting, like I need something but I'm not what I'm sure I can get right now" Rayn replied with an adorable face.
"What's that?"
"You!"
Rayn said he couldn't focus because he always thought of his wife. Lusia had really troubled her mind so much that she could not finish her work. Lucia asks what Rayn needs from her. Rayn simply threw a smile, spread out her arms and hugged Lucia.
Rayn seemed to have truly understood Lucia. Right now the one who needed the energy of the embrace was not himself, but Lucia. He was giving that energy to Lucia.

Reunion Day.
Lucia seemed to be preparing to go to her school's reunion. Lusia looks very pretty as pretty as an angel with a dazzling dress. She wore a dress Rayn had bought specifically to attend the event.
Lucy wore a little white dress dress, a small white dress with detailed lace motif decoration and there are floral motifs on the top of the neck and arms. A beautiful dress combined with transparent heels that also have a lace motif on the front and heels. What an elegant and luxurious blend of fashion.
"Do you think this isn't too much?" ask him to Rayn.
Rayn's unblinking eyes stared at Lucia's beauty. He is still fascinated by the beauty in front of him. Rayn shook her head answering Lucia's question. For him, what Lucia is wearing now is very decent.
"Are you ready?" Rayn asked who was also ready to drive Lucia.
Lucia felt that Rayn shouldn't be busying herself to drive her. He can drive his own car or ask Arka to drive him. Rayn frowned annoyed at hearing that.
"Stop asking Arka to do things. I'm your husband, not him, so I should've taken you away. Also, don't ask him to prepare food for me. I was annoyed to see him wearing an apron silly and then serving me food" Rayn complained.
Lucia tried to listen to Rayn's complaint but still did not understand why she suddenly complained about Arka. "Well, I just want you to be the one who's always by my side. But, do you really not mind that?" ask Lucia.
"Of course" Rayn answered and extended her hand to hold Lucia's hand.
Rayn and Lucia finally go to a restaurant that has become the place where the reunion was held. After a long drive, they have arrived at a very famous and luxurious Italian restaurant.
"I'm not sure if my stomach can digest it" Lucia grumbled as she sat in the car stroking her stomach.
Rayn laughed a little. "I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing" he murmured.
Rayn had given the dress that made Lucia look so elegant, she was worried that it would take the eyes off the men there, and then cunningly they seduced his wife. Rayn has other intentions why she really wants to make Lucia show her beautiful aura.
Rayn again asked and asked Lucia to reassure herself that no single man had attended the event. Lucia could not promise that because she had not met or heard from them for a long time, nor did she know who would be present. But all Lucia could promise Rayn was her presence there as a married woman, not a schoolboy anymore.
Rayn got out of the car first, she opened the car door for Lucia and helped her to get down. Rayn volunteered to drive Lucia into the restaurant. But Lucia refused, seeing the vehicle parked in the restaurant was quite crowded, it made her anxious because of how Rayn could return alone later. Rayn did not insist and let Lucia enter alone.
Reisa sent a message to Lucia, asking her where Lucia is at the moment. Reisa tells Lucia that she is already there. And his other friends were all present. They looked like they were waiting for the presence of Lucia because this is the first time Lucia has returned after being absent for a long time.
