HUG ME: Love and Friendship
MEMORIES OF THE PAST

CHAPTER 6

SERR

"So, this is your house?" drake asked as he led Lulu's bicycle.

"Yes. Is brother coming by?"

"Eh, can you?"

"Of course I can. Let's go in."

NGIIIIII.....

KLANG!!

Lulu opened the gate slowly. There is a large garden with greenery around it.

"Is it really okay for me to come into your house?" Drake felt awkward because they had not met for long.

"Yes, it's okay. I'm happy, there's someone who wants to be friends with me" Lulu smiled brightly.

Lulu takes over her bike and leads her to the side of the house. Then, he invited Drake into his house.

"Come in, brother!"

"Eh? Iyeah..."

As soon as she stepped into the living room, Lulu put down her bag and went inside to grab a drink. Drake looked at the situation in the house. The same house as his parents. Silent. Not much happiness is created in it.

"Did he live alone? This house is spacious, but too quiet for one person to live in."

"Actually, I live around here. But why haven't I seen you before?"

"really? Drake's brother lives here too? Where's where?" Lulu brought back two cups and a teapot.

"My house is still a little west of your house."

"Ooh.. Actually I moved here last year. Ever since my parents died at my age of 7, I've been living with my uncle. More precisely, my uncle moved into our house."

"But some time ago, when I was twenty years old, my father's lawyer told me about the legacy that my father left me. Turns out they own this house and some assets in the bank."

"That's why you finally chose to stay here?"

"Ehem.so..."

SRUPOTS

The momentary silent atmosphere. They sipped their drinks.

TRINGS

Drake put the cup back, "Aren't you afraid someone's coming and sneaking in?"

"someone? No. gabe. I can do a little martial arts. If there's someone bad to me, I'll beat him up" Lulu smiled, revealing her rabbit teeth.

"Well, I can't believe it. Can you defend yourself? That's impressive..." Drake was happy to know a girl like Lulu.

"Ah, it seems like I've been the one who keeps telling me about my life. Brother Drake himself, how about it?"

"Eh? I'm not very impressive."

"really? But it seems that with the personality of a beautiful sister, the life story of a sister must be more interesting to tell," Lulu gives Drake a chance to tell a story.

"What, yeah..." Drake doesn't feel like there's anything special in his life. Because everything is sad.

"For example, brother brother, maybe?"

"Brother?"

"Yes. Does your brother have a brother?"

"Hm."

THINK ON!

"Yes. A."

"really? Is she a girl?"

"No. She's male. Em, he's not really my brother. More precisely, my father and mother adopted him for a reason."

"Is there a special reason?"

"Yes. Long ago, when I was five years old. We're on our way to the playground. Because that's my wish for my birthday."

Lulu mangosteen listens to Drake's story.

"When we got to the playground, Dad found a boy who was one year different from me, crying while holding a letter."

"Mother checked the letter and learned of the fact that the child had been dumped for a heart condition. It turned out that his parents were too poor to afford the child's treatment and chose to throw it away."

"Oh my God..."

"Then, how's it going?"

Drake thought about all his past events. Her parents asked her to promise, so as not to discuss her brother's past matters for her good.

* flashback on *

When Drake was seven, Pitt was eight. That's when trouble started coming to Drake's family.

As a sick foster child, Pitt did not know that he was adopted by the Drake family. By the age of eight, Pitt's own winning nature began to show.

He who is sick and always gets more attention from Drake's mother's father is getting spoiled and taking advantage of him.

Like Christmas, when Pitt wanted a super airplane toy, Drake's mom and dad really made it happen. Different from the simple Drake. He did not ask for anything special from his parents other than to keep them healthy and always love him.

However, the days he went through were apparently not as easy as imagined. Pitt always used his illness to defeat Drake.

Or seek the attention of his mother's father. He does not want to give up and always wants to win alone in anything. Even he tried to make his sister always scolded their father.

Once, when Drake was twenty-one years old, something very fatal happened in his life. At that time, he was swimming in his house quietly. Pitt suddenly comes and annoys Drake.

"You're dating Eloise?"

"Where do you know about that?" Drake, who kept it a secret from anyone, was shocked.

"It doesn't matter where I know from."

SUURRR

Water sound of pool.

"Do you know what kind of woman she is?" Pitt started fishing.

"What do you mean?"

"I don't think you know that yet."

Drake didn't comment on Pitt's words. He pulled over and went upstairs. But Pitt says something inappropriate about Eloise so Drake drops back into the water and beats her.

"Don't ever vilify my girl like that! She's a good girl!"

"Hahaha, the more you defend her like this, the more I want her."

Pitt who since childhood likes to seize everything that Drake has, apparently this time he wants Drake's girlfriend too.

"Don't hope!"

As they were beating each other, their father and mother came. Pitt's front-facing position also has the opportunity to change the facts and play a show.

He suddenly started acting and felt pain in his heart. Even he let Drake keep beating him.

STOP DRAKE!!!

Their father exclaimed loudly as he walked up to him. His face was filled with explosive emotions.

"Hurry up and lift Pitt from there!" drake's mother orders the servants.

Drake stood in the middle of the pool. He saw that his mother only cared about Pitt. Even the woman was crying over the person who had just hurt her heart.

"Mother, why.." call her inward.

Slowly, Drake climbed upstairs. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, his father came and swung his hand.

THE PLAQUE!

Drake was slapped by his father. It was so tight that blood came out of his nose.

"Based on a brat! You beat your brother to death like that!"

Drake held her cheek out of pain, "She's not my sister."

"You have reminded me many times. Do good to him because he has special circumstances."

"Then, did you ask him to do me good?"

"What's? You're turning the conversation around again!!"

"He first disturbed me. Do I have to be quiet when she hurts my feelings?!" Drake looked at his father's eyes fiercely.

Regardless of his father's emotions, Drake left in the presence of Mr. Halbert.

* flashback off *

••••

Drake closed his eyes for a moment.

"yeah. We've been fine up until now" Drake said. "And as you had expected. He is my brother now."

"His good thing, having a brother. I wanted to have it, but I guess it was just a dream," Lulu responded cheerfully.

Drake turned his head and smiled, "You can think of me as your brother if you want."

"Eh? Really, can??"

"Yes.."

SAT SET SAT SET

Alan finishes his work in a hurry as Drew comes looking for him. He can't let Drew meet Luna there.

As a notice, Luna and Alan work in the same sales company.

"Alan, there's a new collection of D'je Diamonds. Buy me one, yeah. Willary already has it, he just keeps mocking me because you're so stingy" said the spoiled Drew.

"Why did you come here? I'm at work and you can't bother me all the time, baby," Alan tried to take Drew out of the market.

"Eh? Where are we going?"

CLIP

From afar, Alan saw Luna walking towards him.

"Dear, baby. Come quickly come with me," Alan panicked. Afraid that Luna might see her with Drew.

DRACK

DRACK

DRACK

He took Drew down to the first floor using a common ladder used for employees.

"What the hell is wrong with you? You're getting pale. Like seeing a ghost," Drew looked back.

"There's nothing. Go home first, I'll buy you that later after work."

"Really?"

"L-iyya..." Alan had no choice but to respond to Drew's request.

YEEEEAHH!

Drew was very happy. He kissed Alan's lips excitedly.

"alright. I'll go home first, yeah. Don't forget to come home and bring me that gift," Drew waved away with a happy smile.
