2024-10-29 19:42:56The lecture for the day was over. With a little languid Clarissa tidied up her equipment. Yenny who was by his side would quickly leave the class.
"I am leaving, Clay." Yenny stood up and slung her bag over her shoulder.
"Where are you going?" Clarissa asked with an unenthusiastic look.
"Eh, well … I am with Stemmy. Just for a meal, nowhere else." Yenny answered quickly.
"Okay," Clarissa replied flatly.
Yenny rushed out of the classroom. Adimasta who was sitting behind Clarissa moved to her side. He looked at his girl's face. Still like in the morning, restless. She was waiting to hear from her father, whether they had arrived at the hospital or not.

For Clarissa, any woman who was by Arlon's side has snatched the man's affection for Clarissa. What Clarissa thought, because that woman, Clarissa, and Rosita were no longer important to Arlon.

That smile, Clarissa's smile, that made Adimasta fall in love with her, spread across her lips. Adimasta's heart was pounding. As sweet as this beloved girl loved. More than two years of his struggle was not in vain. Clarissa really reciprocated Adimasta's love. She was no longer ashamed to express her feelings."Don't be nervous, it's normal," Clarissa smirked seeing Adimasta staring at her with her mouth half-open. The girl turned around to face the front.Adimasta smiled. It was always like this, being sweet, then being mean again. But Adimasta was very used to her behavior. He enjoyed everything about Clarissa. Her arrogance, rude, controlling, arbitrarily, and so on. For Adimasta, Clarissa was unique, which she didn't meet from other girls."Thank you." Adimasta leaned over, whispering to Clarissa.

It turned out that Yenny was good at hiding the truth. Clarissa had to devise another strategy to find out what was up with Yenny and Stemmy. Clarissa diligently looked at the two people's social media. Unfortunately, they posted the normal stuff, nothing to explain anything.Clarissa intended to pretend to be a detective and follow them, to find out where they are, and what could be a clue for Clarissa to understand their situation. But busyness on campus could not be left behind. Besides, she still had to see Calvin. Her brother was already getting close to her. If Clarissa didn't come, he would keep asking Francisca when Clarissa would visit him.Clarissa couldn't help but postpone finding out about Yenny and Stemmy. By the end of the week at the latest, Calvin was very likely to be home. After that Clarissa would have more free time. The busyness that alternates comes forces Clarissa and Adimasta to be less able to be together. Not to mention Adimasta's responsibil

Clarissa just got more and more annoyed with Stemmy. Also, on Yenny. Why would she stay with a guy like Stemmy?"What is it?" Clarissa interrupted their bickering."Oh, Clay! You're home?" Yenny was really focused on the man until she didn't realize Clarissa was coming."Yes, I'm home. What are you guys doing?"Clarissa asked, seriously. She wanted an answer from Yenny or Stemmy."You don't have to interfere, Clay. This is my business with Yenny." Stemmy looked at Clarissa disapprovingly.Clarissa returned the boy's gaze. She wasn't going to be quiet this time. Clarissa didn't even care if Yenny would get mad at her. She didn't want any boy to act badly on a girl. Moreover, Yenny was so kind to him."As long as you do the right, I won't do anything. But if you make any trouble, I won't let you. I've known Yenny longer than you. Is that clear?" Clarissa glared at Stemmy."Stupid!" Stemmy replied annoyed. He turned to Jenny. "Don
Look At Me! (English) 71. The Struggle is Not Over Yet
The two friends were now pensive, neither spoke. What happened to Stemmy was not a simple problem to solve. If they were silent, Stemmy was crushed. If they did something and got caught by the campus, they could get hit too. But there was no way they'd stay silent. Especially Yenny. What Clarissa was afraid of, Yenny was willing to risk herself for Stemmy's sake. "There must be a way, Yenny. There must be away." Clarissa reassured Yenny as well as herself. Now that Clarissa was involved, she wasn't going to leave Yenny alone. However, Clarissa also didn't want Yenny to be overwhelmed because she was more focused on Stemmy than her studies. Yenny looked at Clarissa. It turned out that Clarissa wasn't acting the way she had feared. Clarissa could calm down quite a bit after hearing all this. "Do you really love Stemmy? Do you imagine in the future you will be with him?" Clarissa looked back at Yenny. The question was deep. Was Clarissa thought that far?
Look At Me! (English) 72. Please, Don' Go
Yenny looked at Stemmy who was weak, trying his best to hold back the pain that was slashing every part of his body. He rolled over on the bed, still groaning. His face was pale, cold sweat kept pouring out because Stemmy was trying to survive the excruciating pain. Yenny could only hold Stemmy's hand while crying. Never had he seen anyone suffer this much. Even his father, when he was sick last time was not as bad as this. Clarissa couldn't bear to see Stemmy either. She quickly called Adimasta, making sure Adimasta would come soon. But Adimasta didn't respond to Clarissa's call. Confused, anxious, frantic, that was what was raging in the hearts of the two girls. There was a knock on the bedroom door. Clarissa quickly opened the door, and Adimasta came in. A sad sight appeared in Adimasta's eyes. Stemmy lay, helpless on the bed. "Di, I don't know what to do. I can't see Stemmy like this." Clarissa looked at Adimasta with a confused feeling. "Doctor,
Look At Me! (English) 73. A Hand for Stemmy
Clarissa arrived at her boarding house. Adimasta and Yenny had arrived first. Stemmy had found the right place to recover himself. What they talked about was how the next course of action would help Stemmy. Adimasta asked Yenny to meet Stemmy's parents and explained what happened. It needed to be precise way so that they were not too shocked. What the future that might be faced by Stemmy was then. Clarissa would come with Yenny, meet Stemmy's parents. Then there was the problem of Stemmy's college. Of course, he would fail this semester. But there was a way to defend Stemmy before the campus council. Adimasta had a chance to talk to Diaz and Diaz was willing to talk to the campus leadership to help Stemmy. "Is it possible that Stemmy won't drop out?" Yenny looked at Adimasta. "Diaz said that Stemmy made a statement. It contained an acknowledgment of his condition. He realized his mistake and was trying to improve himself. He asked the campus to allow
Look At Me! (English) 74. Her Fierce is Back
Clarissa's loud voice forced Adimasta to move the phone away from his ear. Adimasta had not heard the harsh tone of his favorite girl for a long time. "Honestly with me, where have you been, Di? You've finished your business on campus since half-past five. But just let me know where you were then? Tell me!” continued Clarissa's attack on Adimasta. Adimasta stroked his chest. It turned out that the one trait had not completely disappeared. It could suddenly appear again. Just be careful, the fierce relapsed. "Sorry, Clay. I didn't mean I don't want to tell you. Really. You're busy too, right?" Adimasta tried to be as calm as possible to talk to Clarissa. He must be able to calm his girl's anger or the sweet moments with his girlfriend would turn into an atmosphere like a sudden whirlwind. "Can

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

Whatever it is. Think of me as your daddy." Adimasta said the same words again.Slowly, Clarissa's cries subsided. She lifted her face, looked at Adimasta.

Clarissa's eyes widen as she looked out of her room. It wasn't the pretty garden in the yard that he noticed. Adimasta's face that looked coldly at him looked. Adimasta's words were full of disappointment that enveloped Clarissa's heart. Yenny sat beside her, rubbing Clarissa's shoulder. Gundah also greeted Yenny after hearing Clarissa's story.
