"Get married soon and forget about Brother Daniel, if you want to be on good terms with me!" Hans looked away as he said that. His eyes were teary but he was a strong boy and not a crybaby.
Luci stared blankly at him. She seemed to have lost her knees to stand up when she was sitting on a chair.
"You know very well I love Daniel, Hans." Her voice trembled as she spoke. Her tears were spilling everywhere. Her beautiful face had turned gray from the disappointment and sadness she was currently feeling.
"Then go away and never see me again! Go and live with Brother Daniel's memories!" expelled Hans who was still reluctant to turn to Luci. He was strengthening his own heart to become a man who was firm in making decisions.
"Forgetting Daniel is the most impossible thing. But you're also asking me to marry another man? Do you know that you are hurting me right now?" whispered Luci with a sob.
BADUM! Hans' chest sank. Did he sound that bad? But that crime he did for her sake.
"Is this your wish or did someone teach you to speak like that?" asked Luci. She narrowed her eyes to detect any suspicious movements from Hans.
He, who was now lying on the bed, then swallowed his saliva heavily.
'Did we get caught? Does Sis Luci know that I have an agreement with Uncle Diamond?' Hans thought with a lot of anxiety that had filled his chest.
"W-what do you mean, Sis? Do you think I'm a child who can be influenced?" Hans pretended to squeak in annoyance. Even his trick looked more convincing than her charade when launching a mission.
"Who knows right? You even told me to leave because you heard Tedy and Amy's conversation." Luci took a deep breath.
She was already thinking about nothing at this point. Especially when she saw Hans suddenly telling her to forget Daniel and go marry another man. This was a request from Hans that had never crossed her mind before.
"Did Aunt Arum come to you this morning? She asked you to say all this?" Luci nearly collapsed from her chair. She almost dropped her face on the bed where Hans was being cared for.
"No! Of course not!" Hans breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that Luci didn't suspect anything about Spider at all.
"Listen, Sis Lu! I live through the shadows of the dead. Mother hates me because of revenge for the death of Brother Daniel. And you took care of me because you felt guilty for his death.
"Can one of you treat me because that's what I am, without the need to relate myself to him? Is my life only redemption from his death? Do I have such a cheap life?" Now Hans dared to look at Luci openly. He wouldn't flinch at all. He would continue to advance for the sake of getting Luci out of this demon pit.
'Mother, I'm sorry I disobeyed you by freeing Sis Luci from your hands. But I guess you've been going too far lately,' Hans whispered to himself.
"What? Are you…. Gosh, no! I never considered you to be a redeemer, Hans." Luci reached out his hand to caress his pale face. But he hastily brushed it off roughly. Even he still gave a curt and angry expression.
"If that's the case then just do what I want! Forget about Brother Daniel soon and marry someone else! If you refuse my request, the exit is over there!" Hans pointed to the exit with his pale hand. He was a persistent boy and never wanted to give up.
Luci's body shook violently. Her heart was beating very fast. Her chest rumbled like she had been hit by a raging storm. She drowned with her sad and happy memories of Daniel. She sobbed.
"He has left you, Sis. Don't you want to do the same with him? He prefers another happy life where he can walk and play basketball again. Are you going to ruin his happiness by acting like this?" Hans's voice began to soften at this time. A single tear fell from his little eye.
Luci also stopped crying. Her eyes widened at the thought of what Hans had just said. His words were like a blow that could wake her up and make the fog in her brain clear away so that the sun could shine on her head. She realized that the downturn she had always maintained all this time would only make Daniel feel sad out there.
'Don't I want to make Daniel proud of me? If I continue to be down and sad maybe he will be disappointed in me,' thought Luci.
It's hard to start a new life by leaving old memories behind. Moreover, the old memories were so imprinted in one's heart. But life does go on, and there's no point in standing and staring at the past.
"Okay, you're right, Hans. Daniel is happy now. He could run as much as he wanted without feeling any pain. I remember how much he wanted to walk back, and now he's got his wish. I should be happy about that too." Luci carved a smile on her soft and sweet lips.
"So?" Hans couldn't help curling his lips in pleasure. Even his teeth grimaced and looked neatly lined up.
"So I will soon forget about him marrying someone else. But everything takes time, right?" Luci took a deep breath. Her smile hadn't faded yet.
Hans was unable to pull Luci's body into his soft embrace. It had been a long time since he had been able to express his gratitude. It was a happy day even though he still hadn't recovered.
Meanwhile, suddenly the door creaked open. Then someone appeared at the door. That person was none other than Spider. He had gone outside to go to his office to receive a call.
After all the problems were over, he returned to the room where Hans was being treated. He wanted to meet with Luci. Besides that, he also wanted to talk about the agreement between himself and Hans.
But when he just entered and looked up, how surprised he was when he saw Luci had fallen into the arms of another man, namely Hans.
"Hey, what are you guys doing?" yelled Spider impatiently. He immediately sped away and pulled Luci's body from Hasn's arms.
After Luci was able to escape from the child's embrace, Spider glared and gave Hans a hostile look. Hans, on the other hand, was grinning with pleasure.
"What's this? What is this, Ider? Why did you pull me?" Luci struggled from inside Spider's tight embrace who still didn't want to let go.
But he still didn't answer. He was waging a telepathic battle with Hans at the moment.
"IDER!" Luci shouted because she felt her chest tighten as Spider tightened his grip on her body. He was shocked when he heard her scream.
"W-what is it, Bee?" asked Spider. His cute and sweet eyes looked down at her, who was still in his arms.
"Why did you pull me and hug me?" said her, annoyed, her hands still trying to push away his chest that was stuck to her body.
Spider was stuttering himself. "I – I – awh, awh, my head! Argh!" Spider pretended to hold his head again. Looked like it's the only powerful weapon currently available.
"That won't work," Hans squeaked quietly.
But how surprised Hans was when he saw Luci was so worried about Spider's condition.
"Pain again? Your head hurts again? Which side? Tell me!" Luci muttered while examining Spider's face which was looking down in pain.
"Ummm, over here. Please wipe!" Spider brought his head closer and acted spoiled.
Seeing Spider's childish behavior, Hans made the sound of people throwing up again, "Hoeek!"
But unfortunately, his voice was not heard, Luci. Right now she was too focused on the neighing Spider.
But behind the whimper and pain, Spider secretly glanced at Hans. Then the head of The Diamond mafia clan secretly stuck his tongue out at Hans.
