Cool Guy

"Hmm, what are you waiting for? You're not shopping?" Arya asked curiously.

"No, I'm just accompanying my friend who is shopping for tomorrow's vacation," answered Bertha flatly

"Vacation? Where is your friend going on vacation?" Arya asked again.

"Don't know yet, he didn't say anything to me."

"Her face ... I think I know that face, I mean familiar," replied Arya doubtfully.

"Familiar? She doesn't look like anyone, why do you think you know Luci?"

"Who? Luci?"

"Yes, Lucia. But everyone calls her Luci."

"Then I'd like to meet your friend, if she doesn't mind."

"You'd better wait for her to finish shopping first, I'm not sure she wants to meet you or not."

"Is she the shy or arrogant type of girl?"

"I can't answer, depending on how you judge Lucia. Besides, you don't know her yet, do you?"

"Hmm, fine. I won't interrupt your time, I'm just curious about your friend."

"Curious?? Haha, funny. This is the first time someone is curious about her."

"Of course, I'm really curious. Okay, give my regards to Lucia, okay. Thank you for wanting to get to know me and have a chat with me." Arya smiled faintly and walked out of the clothing store.

Bertha smiled back and hoped that someday she could meet Arya elsewhere, Bertha seemed a little interested in Arya's appearance. Meanwhile, Lucia was busy changing her clothes in the changing room and didn't realize that Arya had met Bertha there.

For her, the problems of men and others were not important. She just wanted to take a vacation and have fun in Greece for two weeks.

Half an hour later, Lucia came out of the fitting room and took some of the clothes she had tried on to the cashier.

Bertha thought to herself on the sofa because Arya had fascinated her. Handsome, cool, smell good... the type of guy Bertha had been since college. But, Arya is a cold man and rude to women, including Diana.

Lucia immediately paid for her groceries, she smiled at the clothes she liked. Colorfull, new and suitable when wore to Greece later, especially while enjoying the clear and beautiful sea view.

Sunbathing on the beach with Bertha??

But, Bertha only had a week's vacation in Greece, so would her siblings accompany Lucia there, or locked her in her room because she didn't want to marry Kyung Joon?

Why did everyone have to force her to marry Kyung Joon? She used to really like Kyung Joon, but now she really hated that person. She also thougt that Kyung Joon had already married.

Hopefully after the vacation, Lucia didn't see Kyung Joon again. But, what about with her family? Especially her parents who often matched her up, just like in the old days.

After paying at the cashier, Luci immediately approached Bertha while carrying a tote bag filled with clothes.

"Tha, hey... you're daydreaming huh?" asked Luci, patting Bertha on the shoulder.

Deg! Suddenly Bertha woke up from her daydream and looked at Luci's face. She seemed surprised by the things Luci brought.

"Eh, Lus. Have you finished shopping?"

"Already... what are you doing alone? How come you were so blank?"

"That... hmm, I was thinking about something earlier. By the way, you have a lot of groceries, right?"

"Yes, I want to go on vacation, I have to do a lot of shopping."

"Yeah, let's go home."

"Going home?? Didn't you invite me to eat first before going back???"

"Oh... Sorry... I forgot Lus, hehe."

Bertha had completely forgotten that she and Luci were going to have lunch at the mall, to be precise it was late afternoon. Arya had made Bertha forget about eating.

Bertha grabbed Luci's arm and left the shop and headed for the food court. There all kinds of food and drinks were quite complete, so they were confused about what to eat for lunch.

While at the food court, Bertha didn't mention Arya's name in front of her friends. She didn't want Luci's mood to go away just because of Arya.

"Tha, what do you want to eat?" asked Luci.

"What's the matter, the important thing is to eat. I'm really hungry, I only ate a little at the hotel, you also have the food. You only drink and snack, why didn't you have breakfast?" Bertha asked confused.

"I don't have an appetite. I still feel annoyed when I remember Kyung Joon, Fela etc." Lucy pouted.

"Okay, let's go there. Look, there's goat satay, mixed rice, seafood...."

"Eating delicious seafood like crab or something?"

"Crab... it's up to you, Lus."

"Yes, rice, satay, lemon squash. Goat satay, want you?

"I ordered the same food as you," Bertha replied.

"You just order, I'll find a seat first."

Bertha nodded, then went to the satay stall which was located next to the all kinds of rice stall. Luci looked for a seat in the middle of the foodcourt, but it was full.

She was forced to sit in front of the most famous noodle outlet in Jakarta. Luci waited for Bertha, thinking about what she would say to Luci's parents later.

Was Kyung Joon disturbing Luci's family because they didn't get married?

"I'm annoyed ... when I get home I'll be scolded by dad and mom. Not to mention all the brothers and sisters come to the house, if they find out I'm back from the hotel." Luci mumbled.

"The problem of being married to who, who likes who, that's my business. They just have to agree or not, why do they always have to interfere?!" Lucia grumbled.

At the satay stand, Bertha was ordering two servings of goat satay and lemon squash for them.

"Ma'am, I ordered two goat satays and two lemon squash."

"Okay, Ma'am. I'll make the food first, where are you sitting, Ma'am?"

Bertha then looked for Lucia in the middle of the foodcourt, but did not see her, then looked for her at the end near the noodle shop.

"It's over there," Bertha replied, pointing at the noodle booth.

"Okay, Ma'am."

"Satay plus rice," said Bertha quickly before forgetting.

"Yes, satay rice and lemon squash."

Bertha nodded and the satay shop employee entered the small kitchen to make Bertha's order.

While she approached Luci there, this time it was Luci's turn to be dumbfounded, she made Bertha confused. She didn't know what Luci was thinking until her face was gloomy.

Bertha sat across from Luci, noticing the gloomy and serious looked on her face. But, she guessed that Luci would not be daydreaming about problems at her house later, regarding her marriage which was deliberately annulled by Luci a few days ago.

"Lus... Lusi!" called Bertha loudly.

Deg! There was a voice calling for Luci from nearby but who??

"Lus! It's me here, what are you looking for and who??" asked Bertha, frowning.

"Hey you, Tha." Lucia answered Bertha after suddenly waking up from her reverie at being called by Bertha in a half-screaming voice.

"You must be...."

"Okay, don't guess what I was thinking just now. Now let's talk about another topic, okay??" Luci smiled faintly, forcing a smile in front of Bertha.
