S.H.E (Women I've Purchased)
#137
After Lucy decided to study Islam, Andre patiently taught and gave understanding to her lover. It has been almost 3 months Lucy tried to explore the religion of Islam, she is still very enthusiastic to know the ins and outs of the religion she is studying today.
Today Andre can't keep her company because there is an important job, so Lucy decides to go home quickly and take a walk down the city streets. His steps stopped after seeing a mosque and unknowingly now he was in the courtyard of the mosque. Lucy stared fixedly into the building, her heart racing as if everyone could hear her heartbeat.
"Excuse me, can I help you?" ask a man.
Lucy who was still stunned to see the building was shocked because of the arrival of the man.
"Ah, sorry s-I just happened to pass by and look around" Lucy said stuttering.
"Oh it's okay, you just got home from work? want to rest there?" the man asked politely while pointing at the terrace of the mosque.
"N-no, I'll just go home. Thank you." said Lucy straight up her legs.
"If you want to wonder I will answer, come when you like" said the man half-calling.
Lucy flipped her body with a knotty smile, she immediately continued her footsteps and left the grounds of the mosque. He occasionally hit his head and cursed, until when he realized he had gone far he walked his footsteps stopped.
"Ah, what am I doing? Shouldn't I ask the man directly about Muslims? Why did I dodge and leave? Am I not ready for all this?" thought Lucy pensive.
He continued his footsteps while thinking deeply about what he was doing at the moment, before long he arrived at the apartment and entered into it. He lay down while staring at the ceiling of his room, occasionally closing his eyes while thinking what had just happened to him. Suddenly he was surprised by the ringing of his cellphone that sounded, immediately Lucy picked up the phone that turned out to be from Luna.
"Lucy, I'm sorry for interrupting your time. Are you busy?" ask Luna bluntly.
"Ah no Miss Luna, I'm not doing anything right now. Can I help you?" ask Lucy back.
"Yes I need a friend right now, I'll pick you up right now" Luna said.
"Well, I'll get ready and wait for you" Lucy said, closing her phone.
Lucy rushes to change her clothes, actually she is very reluctant to go with Luna, but considering that Luna has helped her a lot she feels reluctant and follows her friend's wishes. After changing her clothes, Lucy immediately got down from the apartment and waited for Luna in the lobby. He thought maybe he should share and tell his feelings at this time to Luna, who knows Luna has a solution for her who is still worried.
"Lucy I'm outside, let's go out" a short message from Luna indicated that she had arrived.
Lucy rushes out and finds Luna in her car, as soon as possible Lucy gets into Luna's car and goes with Luna somewhere to take her.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have taken you so suddenly like this" Luna said.
"It's okay, I'm also confused about what to do at home. You know if I don't have any friends in town at all" Lucy said with an excited smile.
"really? Don't you see Carlo as your best friend anymore?" ask Luna reassuringly.
"Fear that Carlo will take Andre away from you?" ask Luna suddenly.
Lucy just fell silent while lowering her face, what Luna said was true and she could not deny it.
Before long they arrived at a cafe nuanced relaxed with a view of the beach behind him, the waves as if welcoming the arrival of the two of them.
"Well, let's order some drinks and food" said Luna.
Luna picked up the menu book and picked out the food that she was going to order.
"What did you order? I don't know what your taste is." said Luna.
"I ordered the same as Miss Luna just ordered." said Lucy plainly.
"All right then."
Luna called the waiter and ordered a few menus, before long the waiter left.
"Lucy, don't put too much hope on your current partner" Luna said.
"Why are you talking like that?" asked Lucy while frowning.
"You know? Andre is a young businessman who is loved by young women, not only his success. His religion is not easy to shake, I'm not patronizing you just I'm afraid if your hopes of a more serious stage will be dashed" said Luna.
"I've decided it's all Miss Luna, I plan to follow Andre's teachings" Lucy said a little unsure.
"Are you sure? I don't mind if you really want to be like that, just can you accept the disappointment of your family? And are you sure his family will accept you completely just because you've embraced Muslims? At this time Andre's mother has not been able to accept your existence as her son's girlfriend, sorry if I say this all. I'm just warning you not to suffer too much" said Luna.
Lucy was only speechless to hear the words coming out of Luna's mouth, she could not deny what Luna said was all right.
"Miss Luna, is this also why you haven't expressed your feelings to Andre all this time?" ask Lucy suddenly.
Luna stared fixedly at Lucy's face as if hopeless and waiting for an answer from Luna.
"Yes, I tried to hold back and wake myself up. Such a relationship, which has gone wrong from the beginning will be a painful thorn the longer we live it. So I'd rather be quiet" Luna explained.
Lucy again silently heard Luna's words, Luna's classmate was unable to express her feelings to Andre. How could he who was of an ordinary woman put such great hopes on such a perfect man.
