Chapter 32. Be Assertive

Luis is also used to Lusi's spoiled nature and knows how to deal with it because he has been together a lot since childhood. It is only in the last four years that they have never met at all because Lusi continued his bachelor's degree abroad.

Four years cannot change Lusi to become independent and accustomed to being alone without Luis, because she is used to being together since she was a child, making the seeds of Lusi's love grow deeper and deeper. But it hasn't been fruitful until now, how can Lusi hope that the seeds she planted since childhood can bear fruit? because the fact is that now the tree begins to wither before it has time to flower.

Lusi's conscience was fighting quarrels inside her, on one side she felt that she had lost after her long wait and had to learn to accept reality so she could move on. The other side of him said NO, she must not give up, instead, she should do more to win Luis's heart no matter what.

When Lusi argues with her thoughts, Luis and Winda's relationship is getting closer to each other, like a tree blooming in spring. So shady and colorful from the blooming flowers.

"Honey, have a nice work, huh? Cheer up." Luis gave the morning spirit to Winda when they arrived at the parking lot at Kencana Medika Hospital.

"Yes, thank you for this morning, your surprise has made me happy," said Winda with a sweet smile.

"Aah, my eyes dazzled to see the little fairy smiling." Luis closed his eyes with his palms.

"Aarrgh, you prankster," Winda rewarded Luis' waist with spoiled little pinches.

"It is enough." Luis held Winda's hand to stop her pinch. "Come in and work with all your heart," said Luis, rubbing Winda's head gently and then kissing her forehead.

"All right. You are careful on the road. Work properly in the office, don't daydream about me too much," Winda got out of the car laughing in response to Luis.

Luis laughed while shaking his head at Winda's behavior, which replied to her ignorance.

Luis immediately drove down the street, busy morning in the downtown area of ​​Yogyakarta. Luis was immediately preoccupied with office matters that were still piling up for him to check.

This afternoon, Winda helped Bunda cook in the kitchen after coming home from work. Mother Puspitasari is a middle-aged woman who likes to be active even though all day long is spent taking care of the household. The mother refused to be provided with a household assistant to accompany her at home. Mother said you will quickly become senile if you don't have much activity at home and are also unhealthy because you don't exercise.

// Ting..Tong ... //

"Maybe Father came home," said Bunda.

"Let Winda open it, Mom."

Winda immediately went to the front door and opened it without peering from behind the window blinds. It's true what Mother said, Father came home. Winda immediately closed the door as soon as my father entered, but Father immediately turned his head and gave Winda a surprised look.

"What's the matter, dad?" asked Winda confused.

"You didn't invite Father's son in?" Father even asked back.

Winda opened the door again and looked around to find out who the son was that you meant, Winda asked herself 'Doesn't father only have one daughter, namely me' Winda's feeling was uncertain.

Luis got out of behind my father's car, which was parked in the garage, carrying a plastic bag filled with fruit. Luis was also surprised to see the confusion on Winda's face.

"Who are you looking for?" asked Luis, curious.

"Did Daddy come with a man earlier? Daddy said he came home with his son, where is he?" Winda is still busy looking around but doesn't see anyone other than Luis in front of her.

"Hahaha. I'm the son Daddy means," Luis said confidently.

"Be patient, soon your father will officially have a son and several grandchildren, we will make it happen," Luis brought his face closer to Winda and smiled mischievously.

"Start ..." said Winda threateningly, her hands ready to pinch Luis's waist.

"Geez," Luis put his palms together with a pitiful face.

Mother was so happy to see Luis come to visit. Bunda immediately hugged the man. Invite him to sit down and get him a drink. Mother's concern for Luis made Dad and Winda jealous because they felt left out. Father is so happy, just like Mother. Their family feels more harmonious and complete.

They had dinner together, as usual, simple dishes as delicious as food in a five-star restaurant. That is what makes Luis always feel at home to come and eat with the family.

Luis said goodbye when he finished eating Luis had a meeting with Mr. Hermawan and he invited Luis to have dinner together at his house. Of course, Luis did not refuse because in his heart he wanted it.

The head of the Adijaya family, Lusi continued to approach Luis, following him wherever he went. Luis left him because he wanted to know how much Lusi understood what Luis said yesterday.

Luis finally loses his temper when he sees Lusi bravely opening his cellphone while he is taking a shower. Luis knows Lusi's behavior after he finished taking a shower and just stepped out of the bathroom, Luis found Lusi seriously holding his cellphone. Spontaneously Luis grabbed his cellphone and issued warning words to Lusi.

Luis asks Lusi not to intrude on his private area, he doesn't like it and will be angry if the same thing happens again.

"I let you close to me but can't be more than a brother, so you have to know your limits. My family and I do have a debt of gratitude to you and your family. I promise I will not forget that and will return the favor, but not by exchanging it for my love. , because I already have someone I like. I hope you can understand better after I explain it again, "Luis said firmly.

Lusi could only cry again at Luis's rejection of her feelings.

"Why don't you try to accept my cousin's feelings, doesn't he like you. Open your heart to him," advises Luis.

"I can't, I can't be forced," replied Lusi sense.

"Well, you know that feelings of liking cannot be forced," replied Luis. Luis's words made Lusi speechless and unable to say any more, Lusi could only walk away from Luis's side.
