3 A White Swan, Part 3

Kelana still hardly stroked that light blonde haired man's leg. It made that man went confused. Yeah, for someone who didn't know Kelana well like him; it was hard for understanding Kelana's language.

From Kelana's eyes, Lucky knew if there would be something happened between his beloved cat and that light blonde haired man. But, he didn't know for sure. Maybe, Kelana had ever met him before. Or, was there something wrong with him for a male calico bobtail cat like Kelana?

Looking at both of Kelana and that man; Lucky sighed. He directly picked up Kelana while stroking that light blonde haired man's legs. Trying to stop Kelana doing such a thing.

"Ah, sorry about him. He's my cat, anyway," Lucky said sorry to that light blonde haired man man.

"I-it's okay."

At the same time, he noticed that man's eyes. Like, did he just cried? Or he was lack of sleep?

Lucky looked closer at him. Then, he asked.

"Your eyes are swollen. Are you alright?"

That man became awkward. He shook head. "E-eh, no... d-don't mind that. I-I'm alright..."

"Heh..." Lucky muttered. "Are you sure?"

That man only nodded. No words came from him.

Lucky held Kelana tightly. He swung all his four feet, and seemed that he pissed off. Looking at the calico cat was carried like that; it made that man take an interest in Kelana.

"A male?" that man asked Lucky.

"Oh, you noticed!" Lucky brightly smiled at him.

"I thought that was a female. It's rare to see a male calico cat staying alive like this."

Lucky chuckled. Then, he handed his cat to that man. "Wanna give him a pat? Maybe he wants to play with you."

"... can I?"

It made that man went blushing. Lucky saw that reaction. "Oh, he can make a face such as that," he thought.

Kelana still swung his feet. But, that man tried to pat Kelana.

He stroked Kelana's fur gently. That felt so fluffy for him.

"So fluffy..."

"Oh, it seems that he likes you. Anyway, his name is Kelana."

"Kelana..."

Kelana stopped swinging his feet. Suddenly, he became tame. He blinked his eyes. "Meow."

"He said, nice to meet you," Lucky responded. That man understood about it. He thought, maybe that person in front of him was a kind of cat maniac. So it was reasonable if he knew what did the cat just say.

It seemed that Kelana smelled that mysterious scent from him again. That was getting stronger. His instinct got bigger.

Kelana suddenly jumped from Lucky's arm, then came into the shop.

"Heh... don't worry. He's always like that," Lucky said and sighed.

That light blonde haired man looked at his phone. It was almost 5:00 P.M.

"Umm, sorry for interrupting. I should go," that man said. He put his phone back into his pocket. "Anyway, thank you for today."

He said goodbye to Lucky. It seemed he was in a hurry. Then, Lucky waved a hand at him.

"Be careful!" Lucky said. "Come here again sometimes!"

That man slowly disappeared from Lucky's sight. He stretched his arms and went back into the shop.

"Now, Kelana—"

"HISS!"

Kelana hissed him. It made Lucky shocked.

"H-heh, t-that's unusual! Just why did you get mad at me!?"

"RAWR!"

Patra and Endah went confused from the distance. Several customers around them chuckled.

"Oh, oh... look. Your bossy cat gets really mad at you, Lucky," one of the regular customer said that to him. She chuckled.

"God... this is terrible," Lucky muttered. He stroked his messy hair, then sighed.

Now, Kelana looked so terrified in Lucky's eyes. Lucky believed, his cat became so serious this time. Something might happened to him. Or maybe, both of them. It made him think too much.

Kelana went into the table which that light blonde haired man just sat on. At the same time, Virza walked over there and was about to clean the table. But, Kelana hissed him too.

"Why am I—" Virza went shocked. "Bro, what happened to your cat?"

Virza looked at Lucky and felt confused. He lost his words to say something about Kelana.

It seemed Kelana focused sniffing around the table which that man just sat on.

Sniff, sniff, sniff. He sniffed like a bloodhound, then wandered around the table.

He moved the bowl smoothly. As Kelana expected by his animal instinct, he found something mysterious for him.

A silver necklace and a big pendant. Virza looked at the necklace that was found by Kelana.

"What is that? A Norway stamp?" Virza muttered. "Wait, it must belong to that light blonde haired man just then..."

Lucky noticed them from the distance. He walked over Virza and his fluffy cat. He picked up Kelana, then patted him gently.

"Ah... the power of male calico cats are really something, huh," Lucky said. "Thank you, Kelana."

"Meow."

"Anyway, Virza. Let me see."

Virza gave him that necklace. Lucky viewed it carefully. He saw at the stamp that considered as a pendant of the necklace. He thought for a moment.

It had a picture of a white swan.

"Alright, I'll check it later," Lucky said. "Now, I know why Kelana acted strange lately. You want returning this to him, right?"

"Meow! Meow!" Kelana blinked his eyes. A sign that he felt relaxed, Lucky finally understood what did he mean.

"Ha ha ha. You're so kind, my love." Lucky patted Kelana again. A bright smile came to his face. It seemed Kelana became tame. "Now, we should check for this stamp. Then, let's find him."

He went to the cashier counter, then asked Endah for something.

"Before that... Endah, help me to check his who was that light blonde haired guy's name."

Endah went surprised. "Huh? You just chatted with him, and didn't you asked his name back then?"

Lucky shook head. "I forgot about that. Ha ha ha..."

Endah sighed. She looked for the last ordering lists. When she found it, she went confused to answer.

"Fi-jell...?"
