Lilie
"Julie," I called to the person next to me who was now designing her dress in the sketchbook. She paused for a moment and looked at me.
"Why? Is something wrong with you?" She asked a confusing question so I just turned around and look at her disbelief. She's too much overreacting.
"No, I just wanted to ask you something."
"What are you going to ask?" She asked curiously and continued drawing on the paper. I took a deep breath before speaking.
"How do you know when you're in love?" I asked weakly so she pouted and turned to me again.
"What are you saying, Lilie? I can't hear you, can you repeat it."
I bit my lip before speaking, only now did I feel embarrassed because of my question.
"How do you know when y
"Love is not only something you feel, it is something you do."-David Wilkerson.Lilie"Lilie, is he handsome?" the person next to me asked so I looked at the picture he showed. He's Korean."Who is that?""Oh, you don't know? That's Cha Eun Woo," she answered me so I stared at the picture. Its face is very white, musk her eyes are also beautiful. He will get the attention of all women."Yes, he is handsome," I replied and nodded so Julie was stunned. I was still laughing because it was obvious from her actions that she was fascinated by a Korean actor."Who's handsome?" we were shocked to see the person who is standing in front of us. Lucas frowned and his face was a bit dark so Julie and I looked at each other."Brother, why are you up so early today? It's noon ---" Julie's speech was interrupted when Lucas spoke again and crossed his arm so I felt nervous because of his actions."Who's handsome, Lilie?" he asked again as he looked straight at me. So I swallowed and pinched Julie sec

Chapter 13"There's someone who will accept and love your flaws."Lilie"You may now kiss the bride," I heard the father say so we all applauded. I smiled as I watched the two newlyweds.I looked at the person next to me who could all applaud. Her friend was married and she just took me along. I should not have come because it was embarrassing but she begged me so she allowed me."Why did you bring me here, Julie?" I asked her so she looked at me. Maybe I've been asking her this ten times since before while we were going to church here."I just didn't have a trip," she said so I was just stunned by her response. I feel like I want to leave her here at church now because of what she said. Your type is the order of your questions and that is how you will be answered.Just her trip? This is an extraordinary woman, the strength of the trip. Where did Julie inherit it, p
Chapter Fourteen: Zion Restaurant"If you love someone, go on and tell them. Take a risk, don't be afraid to tell them."LucasI looked at my sister who suddenly entered. She is wearing something different now as if she was from a wedding. I could see the joy on her face as she sat in front of me."Where have you been?" I asked so she looked straight int
Chapter 15"Right eyes will see your worth."LilieWhen I entered, I was immediately greeted by a woman in a waitress uniform. She smiled at me as she waited for me."This way Maam," she said to me and showed me the way. We entered a hallway and stopped at a door. I was about to speak when she suddenly disappeared so I did nothing but enter permanently.I was stunned by what I saw. Each tree has different colored Christmas lights wrapped around it. What I was walking on the ground was full of white and blue petals of roses.I also noticed the pictures. Wait? These are my pictures. From childhood until now everyone is here. I don’t know where Luke got it all.As I was walking a song suddenly sounded. The song was unfamiliar to me so I continued. The man was singing and I only saw the singer when the light in the middle turned on.I wa
Chapter 16: Gun"Love can make you the stupidest person in the world."LilieI was sitting on the floor as she pushed me hard. When I looked at the person who made me this, I was just surprised who it was."Rina, why are you doing this?!" I shouted because she rushed at me again and pulled me out while slapping me. I bit my lip hard because of the pain I was feeling.But she glared at me and touched my jaw, maybe with too much tightness I might pass. "You're so funny! You're a kidnapper!" She shouted again.She stood me up but she still held my hair too tightly. "It's just Lucas, Lilie! You just took everything from me! Even the man I love!"I want to push her but I can't do it because she is bigger than me. She would have slapped me again when someone suddenly pushed her hard so she was the one sitting on the floor.
Chapter 17: Shot"There's someone who will save you, always."LilieI just sighed when Lucas and I fell to the ground together. The windshield of his car broke because the bullet hit it. A few glasses of glass spilled on us so I closed my eyes.I was on top of Lucas and he hugged me very tightly. I could feel the speed of our two hearts, even though our breathing was too fast, it was as if we were fighting to the death.I was almost out of breath when the man on the motorcycle pointed his gun at me again. I just closed my eyes and waited for the locust to hit me.I was just surprised when Lucas reversed our position. He is now on top of me so he was the one who hit. I could see how Lucas was hit on the shoulder.I feel like my world has stopped spinning at what I witnessed. My face turned pale and my heart stopped beating. Trembling I tou
Chapter 18: Mom"Some unexpected people will come to our life and we prayed that they will never be gone in our side."Lilie“I mean, I like your face, no pimples or scratches even one. You can be my model, ”he said and stared at my face even more.Keegan and I just screamed when he disappeared in front of me. I think Lucas is already holding him and twisting his arm."What the heck are you doing to my woman!" Lucas shouted angrily and pinned Keegan even harder against the wall."Easy, I'm not doing anything," Keegan defended and tried to free his hand and he managed to raise both hands at the same time."What do you mean nothing?! What? Just grab a trip and bring your face closer to my girlfriend! ”“Fine! I only did that because your girlfriend passed me by being my model, ”said Keegan and pushed Lucas.“No! She will not be your m

But they are wrong, I
"You're worth the wait."Lilie"Are you tired of me Lucas?" I made a weak promise and I knew he heard because he moved a little. He was still turning his back on me so I could not see his reaction.I feel like something is blocking my throat because I can't say the word I want to say to him."L-Lucas ..." I only said his name and waited for his answer. My eyes also started to water. So I approached him and grabbed his arm. I was just surprised when he suddenly removed it as if he was burning when I touched it."Rest Lilie, let's just talk in some other time," he promised coldly so I nodded and took three steps away from him.

I could see how happy he was when he saw me.I sat down next to him and he slowly wiped the tears from my eyes. "Lilie, my daughter. Forgive me, ” he cried like me.“P-papa, I have forgiven you for a long time, I have forgiven you. You are not at fault for me anymore, ” I promised again but he just shook his head and continued."Forgive me, Lilie ... I killed your Mom." Because of what he said I was confused. What does Dad mean? What did he kill Mama for?"Wel
"I'm here, no one will hurt you now. "Lilie"Miss, this is a good thing I will do for you," he whispered in my ear while I was trembling with fear."Who are you? Please, don't do this to me," I begged as I moved my body away from him. I shuddered even more in fear when he touched my lower back."Darling!" I just sighed when someone woke me up. Looking to my side I saw Lucas worried too much about me."Why are you crying?" he asked as he wiped away my tears. I suddenly hugged him and there cried, he gently stroked my hair and back.“Did you have a nightmare again?
Chapter 31: You're a masterpiece"There are so many artworks that they handed to me, but for me, you are always my favorite artworks."LilieEven though tears were blurring my cheeks, I turned to Keegan who was smiling at us and I signaled to them what it was.They just smiled and nodded at the three of me so I turned to face Lucas who was singing and looking at me now.I don’t know how I will feel right now. My knees are shaking, my heart is beating too fast and most of all, I have a lot of pleasure in my chest right now.He continued singing and I could see how tears were flowing from his eyes. So what
Chapter 30: Graduation GiftLearn to forgive, but not to forget. "Lilie"Keegan, those things you say are not funny," I said seriously and drank coffee. I saw how his face becomes more serious.“What I am telling you is true, Lilie. Lucas has taken care of you since you came home. ”"How did that happen?" I ask.“Ever since you said Lucas is what you need, I called him right away. I told him everything ... everything. ”“Honestly, at first I was still struggling because I did not know what to say and how to tell Lucas everything. Until I have the courage. ”I just listen to him seriously and seriously, at any moment my heart seems to explode with what I hear."By the time you left the hospital, it was time for Lucas to
Chapter 29: I'm Not The One"You have to face the reality."LilieMy heart stopped beating even though I was breathing, my heartbeat got stronger because I heard his baritone voice."Is the ring I made for you okay?" I heard him say. Maybe it was for Alexa, so I have hurt again."Yes, will you take it now, Mr. Montiero?"I could not get out of my seat, even though my leg was shaking. I took a deep breath first and was about to step on my feet when I heard his voice again."Excuse me."Shit! He's just behind me!
