Sweet Love Friend

Between Love and Love

Lucas contacted Athi with a new phone he got from director Cha, making him a little happy with what he got.

Phone connected.

“Halo, who is this?” sapa Athi who was astonished by the new number that contacted him.

“This is me,” Lucas replied, making Athi very surprised to hear it.

“Whose phone are you using?” asked Athi who was confused by the circumstances.

“Let's talk. We can meet now at the restaurant near your house?” lucas asked, Athi was delighted to hear it.

“Can! Wait, yes!” athi said, making Lucas smile at her.

Lucas ended his phone, and looked towards the cheap bracelet he had bought on the side of the road.

‘Sorry, I was only able to love you this,’ Inner Lucas, who was very sad to see the gift he bought for Athi's birthday.

Today is Athi's birthday. However, Lucas could not buy Athi the necklace that Athi saw in the jewelry store at the time.

Lucas waited long enough for Athi, and finally Athi came with a very beautiful makeup in Lucas' eyes.

“Lucas!” pekik Athi who was very happy, then sat in front of Lucas.

“Have a long time?” asked Athi who was worried Lucas waited a long time.

“It's normal,” Lucas replied, making Athi pursed her lips.

“Lucas!” shouted Athi, whose attitude was still the same as when they were friends first.

Lucas chuckles at his behavior, which never changes.

“Don't yell, I'm already here. On your side.”

“Deg!”

Lucas' words suddenly made Athi speechless, while holding his chest that had been pounding so hard earlier.

Athi did not expect, a little speech Lucas alone has made Athi's heart becomes not confused.

They ordered food, and ate it very eagerly.

...***...

Lucas walks along with Athi, heading to Athi's house. He was still confused as to what he should say to Athi.

Lucas stops his steps, making Athi stop his steps as well. They looked at each other, making Athi suddenly awkward because of it.

Lucas thrusts something in front of Athi, “Happy birthday, baby!” said Lucas, who apparently remembered the special day of Athi.

This made Athi very touched to hear it. Athi did not expect Lucas to remember his special day.

Athi's tears suddenly welled up, making Lucas smile at her.

“Don't cry, sorry I can only love this. Later I replace it with a nicer and more expensive, if I have been successful,” said Lucas, contact to make tears Athi shed because touched to hear it.

“Helper!” athi muttered, making Lucas laugh at it.

“There are a lot of people here,” said Lucas, who is still shy with him.

“But I want to hug,” said Athi, who did not care about those passing by in front of him.

Lucas hugged Athi hesitantly, because he could not be denied, he also missed Athi's embrace.

“Still, you already remember,” said Athi, Lucas could only smile at it.

Lucas let go of his embrace, and looked towards him.

Athi looked at Lucas in surprise, “How was the selection?” athi asked, Lucas just smiled at her.

...-flashback...

“Yes, when do you want to start quarantined?” tanyanya repeated her question earlier.

Lucas became very happy, as he was very unusual to hear offers this good in his life.

“S-me ...”

“You can start tomorrow,” said the director very firmly, immediately making Lucas surprised to hear it.

Director Cha took out a very thick envelope in front of Lucas, as well as a piece of white paper stamped. Lucas was very surprised to see it.

“Sign this document, and you will be contracted for the next 5 years. Your life must be guaranteed,” he said, immediately making Lucas surprised to hear it.

Lucas looked at the contract carefully. His eyes glared, because he was surprised to see one of the points that said, should not be dating as long as the contract is bound. That left Lucas very surprised, and unable to do anything about it.

Lucas looked at the director with great doubt, “I think about it,” Lucas said.

...-flashback off-c...

Athi belicates to hear Lucas' explanation, because he is very sorry for Lucas who has rejected the golden opportunity.

“Why don't you take that chance?” asked Athi who was astonished by Lucas, who did not take such a valuable opportunity.

Lucas let out a long sigh, puzzled as to what to say to Athi.

Lucas lowered his head, “I can't be far from you,” said Lucas, immediately making Athi surprised to hear.

It was tough for Athi, but Lucas' future was more important than his.

Athi looked at Lucas wryly, “For me, your success is more important than anything else. If you are successful, I am also happy to see it,” said Athi, suddenly making Lucas' tears fall from his eye sinks.

“But I can't be far from you. Quarantine period 1 year ahead, I'm afraid you can't wait for me,” said Lucas, making Athi mendelik.

Want to be flanked again, Athi can not forbid it, because it concerns about the future of his lover.

Very difficult thing, for Athi to live.

“Yes, and worse yet, I should not be caught having a relationship with any girl. It would violate the contract. I don't want that to happen. I was confused, so therefore, I asked to think first,” said Lucas explained, immediately making Athi more sad to hear it.

Athi could not cover up his sadness, as this was a very difficult choice. Choosing between the future, or the girl who is not necessarily the future, is indeed very difficult.

Athi let out a long sigh, and prepared himself. He didn't want to be very weak in Lucas' eyes.

Athi clasped Lucas' hand tightly, “If I were you, I would definitely choose my future.”

“Deg!”

Athi's words seemed to force Lucas to accept all his director's will. Lucas, who heard it, was suddenly confused, because it was a difficult choice for him, to choose between love and mind.

Lucas lowered his head, and wept, so helpless he was because he was holding back the sadness that was happening to him.

Athi also could not help but cry, and instead cried while hugging Lucas.

Knowing that Athi was also crying, made Lucas become more sad, and returned Athi's embrace.

It is undeniable, Lucas is indeed very sad, because he cannot decide right now. He had to hear Athi's words first, because he did not want to regret it, later on.

“We will rarely exchange news, you know! The meeting will also have to wait until the quarantine period is complete. Are you up to it?” asked Lucas, who could not bear to say this to Athi.

Lucas accidentally, makes himself the same as Keil, who disappeared from Athi's life.

With all of Athi's heart and feelings that have been very hurt, Athi also prepares himself.

“I'm ready. The most important thing is, your future.”

Hearing that, Lucas immediately hugged Athi back, because it had hurt Athi's heart.
