"I love you even if I have to go to hell..."
A favorite of Lucia's was heard all over the mall when the girl was queuing with Legolas at the cashier. Without thinking Lucia released her grip on Legolas's shirt and walked in search of the source of the sound.
A stage was in the middle of the mall with the audience filling the stage enjoying a young man singing in the middle of the stage by strumming a guitar. The young man was Cedric Hartman, the owner of a song called I Love You Though I Have to Go to Hell.
Lucia sneaked into the crowd to get close to the young man as there was currently something she wanted to ask Cedric. Without a doubt the girl climbed the stage stairs although some guards tried to stop her.
Cedric who was about to finish his song saw Lucia, and gestured the guards to let Lucia up on stage.
Before Lucia reached the stage Legolas first held the girl's arm and pulled her down from there. With great annoyance Legolas brought Lucia out of the crowd of spectators who were very large.
"Why don't you ever listen to me?!" Angry Legolas with great anger.
"Olas, that man who was willing to go to hell for the sake of his love." Lucia did not care about Legolas' anger. "I want to see him. I have something to ask him."
"Listen Cia, it's just a song that—"
"What do you want to ask me?" Suddenly Cedric who got off the stage approached the two of them. "Please, you can ask."
Legolas who saw the singer approaching at them could only waste his breath as they also became the center of attention of the audience.
"Who is that guy? The one who made you want to go to hell?" Ask Lucia innocently.
Cedric was stunned to hear Lucia's strange question. Anyone will know if the song of his creation is just a figurative word to show his love for someone and not really himself wants to go to hell. But at the moment his fans are watching him so he has to look for a good answer.
"You." Cedric answered with a smile. "You and my fans made me want to go to hell because I love you guys."
"But in hell you won't feel love." Lucia. "Therefore I came to the world—"
Legolas immediately shut Lucia's mouth so that the girl did not continue her words.
"Sorry, he's a little sane. Don't think about what he said." Legolas exclaimed after that taking Lucia away from there.
From a distance, another young man who was on the second floor looked at all of them. The red-haired youth with his handsome face smiled with his eyes almost closed as he had already found the person he was looking for.
"I'll find you eventually." Leviathan.
...----------------...
Legolas continues to pull Lucia's arm to follow her out of the mall, but when they get to the exit suddenly a sense of heat begins to be felt in her hand holding Lucia. Legolas grimaces in pain by taking Lucia's hand off.
"You why?" Lucia felt strange seeing Legolas grimacing in pain.
"The apple effect is over." Legolas said as he opened the backpack he was carrying and picked up an apple. "Quick eat this apple again, otherwise I won't be able to stop you from doing as you please."
"I love you." Lucia said as she took an apple from Legolas' hand.
A luxurious car passed through the exit where Legolas and Lucia were standing. Cedric who was in the car noticed Lucia with his curiosity towards the girl.
"What's up, Ced?" Ask a woman sitting next to Cedric in the back seat of the car. The 45-year-old is his mother, Edith Gringger.
"That girl looks so weird." Cedric pointed out the car window.
"What's up, mom?" This time Cedric watched his mother who was still looking towards the back of the car through the window.
Edith looked at her son. "The young man accidentally hit mom. It seemed like he was looking for the girl so did not pay attention to his path. He must be worried about that girl."
"What's that like?" Ask Cedric.
...----------------...
Legolas and Lucia arrive at the Greenville orphanage. The orphanage is located in the smaller city of Kryvcraz, the city of Parvyzki, which is almost 200 km from Kryvcraz. The orphanage is not too big and only filled by 22 children at this time. Where adult children are out of orphanages and are married so they have their own families. Only Legolas remained unmarried, so he would come every month to give his mother Bethany Greenville a little paycheck.
Seeing the presence of their brother all children of various ages look happy to welcome Legolas. Legolas also looked happy by giving his embrace to all his siblings.
"Look, what did I bring?" Legolas took out a plastic pack from his backpack.
Lucia saw what Legolas took out was a plastic bag of his apple.
"Olas, that's mine!!" Lucia tries to grab a plastic bag containing a red apple, but Legolas holds Lucia's hand so as not to take it.
"I'll buy it again." Legolas. "This is for all of you. Annie, cut them all out, please." Legolas spoke to the 12-year-old girl, and gave her the apple.
"Olas, who is he? What lover?" Annie asked looking at Lucia.
The curly-haired girl's question left Legolas at a loss as to what to answer to her.
"Hhhh." Lucia nodded. "Even if I don't love Olas right now, I'll love him later. I'll feel love like a human being feels love in general."
"No-no..." Legolas cried with a movement of his hand. "It's not like that. His name is Cia—"
"Olas, are you coming?" Suddenly the orphanage owner came.
Bethany Greenville is a 55-year-old woman. She was also the adoptive mother of all the children in the orphanage, including Legolas's adoptive mother.
"Yes, I'm coming, ma'am." Answer Legolas. "Annie, please take Cia as well."
"Come, Cia!" Annie Exclamation.
"Cia, wait a minute!!" Legolas instantly pulled Lucia's hand away from there to warn the girl again. "Remember, don't do things I've forbidden before. I won't buy you another apple if you don't listen to me!!"
"Hhhh." Lucia nodded. "You must buy me a lot of apples because you gave them all my apples."
Legolas tried to smile at Lucia's request.
"Are you here to give me an invitation?" Bethany asked Legolas when the young man saw Cia walking away with the orphanage children.
"What?" Legolas looked at Bethany. He did not understand the question of his adoptive mother.
"Last month I told you you can only come here again when you give me your wedding invitation. But I didn't expect you to come with my son-in-law, either."
Legolas fell silent in shock at Bethany's words.
