HUG ME: Love and Friendship
PRETTY GIRL MANAGER PERPUS

CHAPTER 3

PROUD-SPOKEN

Luna's father throws his joints and manages to hit Drake who is trying to avoid a blow.

"Ouch! Uncle, please don't be angry! I can explain! Really, I didn't do anything to Luna!" drake shouted while trying to hide behind Luna's back.

"Then why are you here so early in the morning! Are you sleeping in my daughter's house again? Didn't you know she already has a fiancee? Why do you keep interfering with her life???"

Luna's father did not want to accept the explanation. Near him Drake while he hit his back with a sandal.

"I'm uncle. I confess! I'll confess!"

"Ooohh??" Terra felt sorry to hear Drake's scream.

Luna hurriedly broke up and tried to temper her father's anger. While standing in the middle, he looked at his father and his sister Terra alternately.

"Dad, wait! I hope you don't misunderstand. We can explain to you how the chronology is."

Drake nodded quickly as he held onto his white T-shirt, "Right."

"Then say it so quickly!!"

CLAPS

"He was in an ant. That's why he took off his clothes."

"What ants??" Terra.

"yeah. Last night he stayed over, then watched MMA while having snacks. But he fell asleep and forgot to throw away his junk snack. That's why this morning the ants came and gnawed at him. He took off his shirt because the ants were creeping into his body."

"Really?? Buahaha!! Why didn't you say that from earlier? Turns out you haven't changed, still a slob! Huahahaha.." Luna's father was spinning.

Terra's eyes glanced to the side with an expressionless face, "Is that a compliment?"

"How is that called a compliment? Things that are not good like that should be eradicated." said Luna.

"Eheheh, it looks like you guys need some comfortable time together. Em, Luna, since your father and sister are here, I'm going home now" Drake said.

"Eh? Are you going home yet?"

"Yes. I have to hand over my manuscript to the editor today."

Drake put on his shirt and jacket back, "Uncle, I'll say goodbye first, yeah. Enjoy your quality time with Luna."

"Why rush? You don't want to eat with us?"

"Hemm, maybe next time, I'll eat with you guys. See you," said Drake while performing a gesture of respect.

Luna's father watched Drake get out the door and disappeared from sight. In fact, he had already considered the child as his own son. Because, when he lived in his house seven or eight years ago in his twenties, Drake was very sweet.

Although impressed slovenly and lazy, actually Drake very diligent. He does not even hesitate to help parents who need help. In fact, the nature of his concern is very big to the people around him.

"He's staying over again?"

"Yes, here."

"Have his parents ever come to see him?"

"Some time, I saw his mother coming to bring him food. Looks like they've made up."

"HUFFT.thank God then. I'm happy for her."

"Right, I feel that way too. The last time I saw him come home and gobble up my father's cooking greedily, I felt that he wasn't noticed by his family."

"You remember that?" ask Luna to Terra.

"of course. He ate in a hurry as if he had not eaten for a month."

"Hihihi, he choked and pulled out the noodles from his nose!" luna's father reminisced about the past. He's really happy to talk about Drake's bad luck.

"But because of that, I liked it. At that time she was really cute. Even now amit-amit." anyway."

"Already, right now the ears must be hot because we keep talking about it."

•••••

EEEEERRRF...

Drake scratched his ear with his little finger because it suddenly felt itchy. Then, his little finger he sniffed and then he blew rough after.

"My cousin keeps itching. Someone must be talking about me."

Drake rubbed the little finger he had used to scrape the ear into his jacket without hesitation.

"Sorry, can I take my bike?" asked a young girl with long black hair and pigtails.

"Eh? Yep, yeah. Please."

Drake immediately stepped aside as he sat on the bicycle. With a sweet smile, he invited the lady to bring his bicycle.

But, the girl did not also leave and instead squatted checking her bike.

"What's wrong with the bike, miss?"

"It looks like the tires are leaking..."

"Eh? That right?"

"Yes, yeah."

Drake snorted because he thought the bike was deflated because a while ago he sat down.

"Hmmm.."

Without speaking at length, Drake ran to several shops that were near his current location. He borrowed a tire pump to fill the bike's gas.

"Huh, Huh, wait lady. I'll pump it for you" Drake returned breathless.

"Eh? It's okay uncle. I'll do it myself. Thank you for lending me the pump."

"Uncle?" drake's face became wry.

Was he that old until he was called an uncle by the girl.

"By the way, don't call me uncle, but just call Drake" he asked.

"Eh?? Didn't she? But, it seems like it would be a little impolite if I call uncle by name alone."

"Then call brother is fine too. Uncle seems too old, heheh," Drake said grimacingly.

"Sister?"

The girl looked. Her name is Lulu Oswald. He's 22. An employee at the city library. I love reading novels and comics. Especially the comic by Alfa One. A writer of mysteries and horror.

Drake looked at it carefully. It is true, if observed the man in front of him is not old. It is even a creature of God born with good looks.

Lulu's cheeks were red. He was very embarrassed because he had looked down and did not pay attention to the person who was talking to him. Even calling a young man like him uncle.

"I'm sorry. Because calling brother like that."

"It's okay, hehe."

"Then, introduce. I'm Lulu. Brother himself?"

"Drakes."

Lulu smile. What dream was he last night until this morning met a handsome man like Drake?

"Em, what are you doing here?"

"Eh? It's just a walk.." Drake scratched his head. "You yourself? Emm, library? You like to read, don't you?"

"Oohs.. Uh, yeah. It's been three years, I work here."

"worked? As manager?"

"Yes. Because I love to read novels, especially the work of Alfa One, so graduating from school I immediately signed up here as an employee."

"Eh? Do you like the Alfa One novel?" ask Drake smile. "Then, I'll stop by sometime. How about reading an Alfa One novel together."

"Byeah, it's great to hear that," Lulu's response turned out to be unexpected. He looks excited. Because, he felt that Drake was a friendly person and easily familiar with others.

TING RABBIT TUNG TING

Drake's cell phone is heard. Drake quickly reached into his pants pocket.

"Yes, hello?"

"Where are you? Why haven't you brought your script here? Don't tell me you're snoring in the room?"

Drake turned to Lulu, "In the meantime, I'll take a call first, yeah."

Lulu nodded.

Drake stayed away and went back to his editor, "Yes, I'll be there soon. Did they charge for a new episode?"

"Yes. They call me constantly. Come quickly! I work hard for you day and night, but you just relax?" the editor's voice sounded shrill. The editor was also Drake's friend. That's why he spoke non-formally to her.

"Eh buset, no need to yell at me, fart!"

"Hisses! You calling me fart again??" the editor's eyes are slipping. But Drake didn't see it. So free, right? hehe...

"Sister Drake!" call Lulu from afar.

"Eh? Female voice? Who'sis that? Are you going on a date?"

"It's none of your business. Yeah, I closed it, bye.." Drake ended the phone.

Drake walked up to Lulu again, "Em, are you going home yet?"

"No. I'll move the bike and get inside. It's nine, I have to work."

"Ooh..so? Have you pumped your bicycle tires?"

"Yes, it's already."

"Then, here. Let me return the pump."

"No need, brother. Let me just."

"Hmm, yeah, yeah. Alright. See you next time, Lulu. Coincidentally, I have business too. I'll go first, yeah."

"Yes. See you later, sis," said Lulu waving as she moved her bicycle to the parking lot.

Drake, who was carrying the manuscript in his backpack, left Lulu Oswald with a smile.
