- Clarissa, can I meet you? I want to talk, both of us.Clarissa's chest was beating faster. She remembered the last time she saw Arlon with his family. And Clarissa was furious. She just left without giving her father a chance to talk to her. Since that time, Clarissa has chosen not to communicate with Arlon. Her feeling that she was no longer important to her father was deeper. So, it was better for her to not communicate with him anymore.Clarissa wasn't sure if she wanted to meet her father. She didn’t want her father to give her false hope. She was afraid Arlon would come again with his wife and child.- Clarissa, I will only take 30 minutes.Arlon's message came back in.

Clarissa did not immediately reply to Arlon's words. Her heart began to feel full. And she remembered Adimasta. She felt she wanted the slanted, bespectacled boy to be near her and comfort her."Honey, life goes on. I want to find my purpose in life. With my wife and son now, things are different. I feel complete." Arlon looked at Clarissa. He also wanted Clarissa to understand herself and not just look at the past."Complete? If I go in, I'll be a nuisance!" Clarissa's voice started to rise."That's not true," Arlon argued. "You are my pretty princess. Whatever with me, nothing will change.""The invisible princess," Clarissa said in an annoyed tone."It was my fault. I'm sorry, Clarissa. I thought you were fine. Because you are a strong girl." Arlon tried to explain what he was thinking."Strong? Twelve years old girl, seeing her daddy and mommy part with a never-ending fight? Then she was being left alone. Even though mommy was with me, I

Adimasta's face was a little red because his body temperature was still hot. But his heart was happy, Clarissa was so cute that day. His girlfriend was happy after meeting her father, and a little sad because of her emotion."You don't have to be busy taking care of new students anymore. What do you do it but in the end you are up getting sick?" Clarissa was still looking at Adimasta."What we do I am sure it will be something. It's not in vain. And everything we do has risks. It's just a fever though. I'll be better in the afternoon." Adimasta smiled with his thin lips."I hope, you will get better. If you can't go to college, who will I bother?" Clarissa grinned.Adimasta chuckled. "Ouch, I have got a headache." Adimasta held his head. Something was throbbing."Still sick? You better lay down."

Clarissa still hadn't moved from where she was standing. She strained her ears more so that she could more clearly hear Arlon's conversation with his wife. There was something that made Clarissa start to wonder what kind of woman that her father now loved."I'll tell you all about her later when I get home. Clarissa and I had a great time tonight. Thanks for your support, Honey ... Hmmm ... okay. My kiss for Calvin. Bye." Finally, Arlon's phone line ended.Clarissa took a deep breath, then she took another step toward her father."Drinks are ready!" Clarissa spoke cheerfully, she put aside all the feelings that stirred her heart after hearing Arlon's talk earlier."Hey, this is getting more and more fun." Arlon smiled.

Arlon looked at the man in front of him. Several years younger than him. The man was Rosita's husband."This is my father, Uncle. I met him today and he brought me here." Clarissa introduced Arlon to Bramantyo."Hello, I'm Bramantyo." Immediately Bramantyo reached out to Arlon."I'm Arlon. Nice to meet you." Arlon replied by shaking Bramantyo's hand."Uncle, Mommy ..." Clarissa interrupted. She couldn't wait to know Rosita's condition."Since yesterday she has been unwell. I asked her to rest, but secretly she was still working on projects. She said it was only a small project. But still, her mind was drained. She had to sit a lot doing it.” Bramantyo explained."Can I meet mommy?" Clarissa asked."Yes, come in. Maybe Rosi's asleep. But it's okay, you can see her." Bramantyo answered while looking into the room.Clarissa stepped inside. As for Arlon, he still asked Bramantyo to talk. He wanted to know how Rosita's conditi

Bramantyo looked at Clarissa. He smiled with a look he deliberately made as if he was annoyed. Clarissa puffed out her cheeks. Clarissa thought a new problem would arise soon."Yes, I'm upset. I'm jealous," said Bramantyo."Oops ..." Clarissa patted her cheeks. His heart suddenly pounded."Really want to." As fast as lightning, Bramantyo continued. His tone changed, returning to normal."Hah?" Clarissa raised her eyebrows and widened her eyes."I'm not a new kid, Clarissa. What do you think? If I'm jealous, I got into the room and I smacked your dad? Would you be okay with that? Or, more extreme I punch him in the face ..."Clarissa smiled widely. Bramantyo's words were released again with a funny tone. Clarissa was relieved, Bramantyo was just playing a prank on her."Oh, you can't be kidding," Clarissa said."You, are like my niece. Your age is not much different from her. She looks like you, in her

It shaking! Look! Uncle, you got one more!!" Screams of joy rang out among the cool sounds of nature.The boy by the side of the girl who was screaming with joy quickly pulled the fishing line and indeed, a sizable tilapia fish caught on the hook."Cool!! You are good at fishing!" The little girl with the ponytail behind her head was jumping up and down with a big smile. She quickly took the can where they put their fishing rods.Then with a smile still on her lips, the little girl jogged towards the hut not far from the fishing pond. In the bamboo hut, sit a couple who are enjoying the beauty of nature around them."Mom! D
