S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#103
Lucy came home from church, walking slowly through the twilight. His mind looked far away, thinking about what the priest had asked him.
"How long have you known each other, for loving is not only a matter of self-sacrifice, but it must be so for you. How steady your heart chooses to be your partner, and so does she how strong she fights for you. Don't because you love her so much you're even willing to betray your religion and eventually abandon your teachings. It's a pity that one day he's not as good as you think he is, and you've betrayed everything."
The priest's words were always ringing in his mind, whether it should be for him to question the status of his relationship with Andre. But he was afraid that Andre thought that Lucy doubted his feelings all along.
"Hi, Lucy are you daydreaming?" greet a woman.
Lucy turned to the source of the voice while narrowing her eyes to focus her gaze. It turns out that the one who called him was his best friend Carlo who was trying to take his lover.
"You still angry at me? Come on, I honestly have no intention of teasing your lover. I'm just helping you." said Carlo reasoned.
"Help me?" ask Lucy wonder.
"Yes, I deliberately teased him so that you and I could see how the real figure of Andre was. You yourself know, no, if every man in the upper class is mostly very fond of playing with women. I'm just trying to help you." said Carlo.
Lucy was silent, she was a little distrustful of Carlo's words. Because there is no way Andre is a man who likes to play with women at will.
"You know, men at the top always look down on women. I'm afraid you're complacent with what Andre's been giving you all this time and misstep. Once you're crazy and dependent on him, he'll leave you and dump you like shit. I really can't accept if it happens to you Lucy. Please believe me." said Carlo trying to persuade.
"But I'm sure Andre couldn't have been like that, he respected me a lot and looked after me. He's an honorable man, he can't be equal to bad guys." Lucy said in defense of Andre.
"But why didn't you tell me first? Why are you doing all this without my knowledge and consent? I could have understood if you had told me first." said Lucy.
"I can't tell you because Andre always sticks by your side. I can't even talk to you since you've been in a relationship with him. So I decided to do it myself, I thought you'd understand but it turns out we got misunderstood and got into a fight. It keeps you away from me, the one who's trying to help you" Carlo explained.
Lucy was silent at Carlo's words, she could not believe Carlo's words completely. But if what Carlo said was the reality, he was even worse than his best friend.
"Lucy I'm really sorry, and I admit to all my mistakes" Carlo said.
"I've forgiven you, only for now I still can't accept what I've done. I'm sorry Carlo." said Lucy.
"Ah it's okay at least you've forgiven me, it just makes me happy to thank you" said Carlo.
"Well then I say goodbye." said Lucy walking away from Carlo.
"Yes be careful on the road." said Carlo, waving his hand.
Lucy just smiled at Carlo and returned the wave of his best friend's hand, I went by leaving Carlo who was still standing there.
