Luccane
Chapter 5: Luccane and the Million Mysteries

Luccane's pair of charming blue obsidians looked straight at me. "i used to pray to God. I asked him to meet me with a girl who could make me fall in love at first sight."

Luccane's confession confused me about his point. I could only look at her beautiful face that seemed real, which seemed to be able to convince me that she was from the same dimension as me.

The lightning that struck from the outside reflected the light, a little shining on Luccane's face made the water full of sincerity look more alluring. The two corners of her lips turned into a meaningful smile, successfully making my blood rustle.

"What...you mean, Luccane?"

Luccane just smiled full of mystery.

"you'll understand what I mean as time goes on."

Electricity that is not also lit makes me have no other choice but to sleep with dim light as it is from Luccane's red lantern sitting on the table.

Luccane said softly, "sleep, it's almost midnight.You need to get enough rest."

I who had not felt any sleepiness at all still tried to sleep by laying down on the sofa while Luccane chose to sit cross-legged on the carpet with his eyes still fixed on me.

Luccane's pair of charming blue obsidians always looked at me with such a gentle look, successfully making me feel like I was dealing with a real man instead of a curious dead ghost.

The more I try to sleep, the more I can't sleep. Slowly I opened my eyes trying to see the surrounding conditions to determine whether Luccane was still in front of me or not but unexpectedly Luccane was not in front of me.

"Why did you show up with such a scary face in the girl's room?! because of you he got scared and couldn't sleep in his room!"

Oh, that sounds like Luccane!

But who was he talking to?

I turned around slowly, trying to listen more clearly.

"Can't he see us, sir?"

What is the male interlocutor? could it be the pocong I just complained to Luccane?

"If even he can't see you, you don't have to put on such a creepy expression anymore because the aura is so terrifying!" luccane's snarl sounded resolute.

"I'm sorry, sir, I won't do it again if you forbid it."

Mister?

Does Luccane occupy a high position in the soft universe in the area around this house?

It seemed that he was not an indiscriminate astral figure, it was only natural that he could not look creepy at all.

Why would I be stuck in a situation like this anyway? living in a house full of ghosts I had guessed before, but meeting other ghosts than others like Luccane did not occur to me at all.

"Tell all the other residents not to disturb the girl" Luccane said.

"All right, sir."

I quickly closed my eyes, afraid that Luccane would return to my front. And sure enough, after the next split second Luccane was again sitting in front of me but now with a position to turn my back on my face.

I can't guess how my future days will go during my stay in this house but I hope things can go well until I graduate with satisfactory grades and become a scholar.

...****************...

"Are you awake?"

"What time is it?" I asked after realizing that the figure that was asking me to speak was Luccane, a ghost with a very human form.

"At half-eight in the morning" Luccane casually replied as he flipped through the pages of the old magazine lying on the glass table in front of him.

I sighed in relief after realizing that today I did not have any activities on campus so I did not need to go to campus.

All kinds of activities regarding the orientation period of new students will start next week to make me able to relax a little after spending a lot of energy to move from my hometown here.

"Aren't you going to college?"

Luccane's question is still as soft as I reply with a lethargic slab.

My eyes still feel heavy, my body also feels pain all after the transfer event a few days ago especially my sleep is also quite disturbed because of the existence of the creepy pocong.

"This day I'm just gonna sleep, Luccane."

The answer from me made Luccane continue to glare in surprise. "how can you be successful if you are lazy?"

I sighed lazily. "want I to graduate from university with a doctor's degree even once, still as an only child I will still inherit my family's business in my hometown."

Luccane chuckles. "in this case we're the same."

"Do you really not want to tell me your family name?" I asked with a grim face while looking at Luccane.

Luccane shook his head firmly. "no way. Because my family is recorded in the great history of Indonesia then I decided to keep it a secret."

It's hard to believe, it's early in the morning but I can still talk to Luccane like I'm talking to a normal human being.

This is an unusual thing, usually I can only see the astral beings without being able to interact much during the day.

I got up from the position of the bed, leaning my back on the back of the sofa.

"why should you still be floating around here? do you have other goals like 'them'?"

"To be honest I forgot what kept me stuck in this world, but what I can do, there's not much I can do" Luccane said with a bright look.

"to be sure, I want to regroup with my parents regardless of my ultimate goal."

As I knew before, the spirits who have parted with their bodies can walk if they have some unfinished business. The same with Luccane, but unfortunately he forgot about what business he had to settle down to have to continue running like that.

"I'm sure your parents are waiting for you somewhere beautiful" I said, not wanting to go further so Luccane wouldn't get hurt.

Luccane nodded lethargicly. "yes, hopefully."

Feeling that I had no more conversation material, I decided to fold my blanket and put it back in my room.

"On the pocong you told me yesterday, I've taken care of it. later that night you can sleep comfortably in your room again," Luccane said shortly after I left to go to the room.

I turned around, looking fiercely at Luccane.

"please tell me exactly who you are, Luccane?"

Luccane harrumphed amusedly. "it is nothing but a ghost who does not want to accept the fact that he is dead after meeting and falling in love with you, Vishabea."
