2024-10-29 19:42:56Annoyed, Clarissa got into her car. Why had to be Adimasta?! She wasn't really interested in him. But so far, Adimasta was one of the most pleasant friends for Clarissa. After Clarissa found out Adimasta's heart for her, she just wanted to stay away from the boy.
Yenny who was sitting next to Clarissa knew her friend was really upset. Yenny was the same, didn't expect Adimasta to have feelings for a girl like Clarissa. In Yenny's eyes, Adimasta needed a calm, polite, and gentle girl. But the fact, was it real he loved Clarissa? It didn’t make sense in Yenny’s mind.
"What are you angry about? It's Adi's business whether you like it or not. If it's not bothering your life, just let it be." Yenny calmed Clarissa down.
"I want to be with Diaz, you know. I don’t care the others." Clarissa drove the car. When she was near the gate, she saw Adimasta on his motorbike. The boy stopped at the side of the road, making a call to someone.

"Yes, sure. Thank you," said Rosita. Mrs. Tirah left the room. She told Yenny to come in and sit in a chair not far from the door. Clarissa turned to Yenny. She waved to her friend. Yenny came over, stood by the bed, next to Clarissa. "This is Yenny, Mom. My best friend." Clarissa introduced Yenny. "Yenny, you must be a good girl. You can stand with my daughter’s behavior." Rosita looked at Yenny. "Mom, ugh," Clarissa snarled. "Clarissa, I know you're the most annoyed when I want to talk to you. Especially when it was about dating." Rosita turned her gaze to Clarissa again. What could Clarissa say? Even she was sick, Rosita still talked about arranged marriage. "I just want you to get a good man, your life will be okay then.

Clarissa wanted to make sure her mother would be alright. Yenny was also relieved, Clarissa was cheerful again. Back unfriendly and arbitrarily. It annoyed her friend. But that was what Clarissa was. "How is your mother? Still trying to find a husband for you?" Yenny asked. They were waiting for the next class. Diaz’s class. "Yes, but I'm not insistent. I told my mom, I can definitely find a husband myself. I'll get to know Mama right away when I'm with her." Clarissa answered while opening her water bottle. "Ooh? Does she deal with you?" Yenny asked again.

The tall and stout body moved away. Diaz didn't look back at Clarissa. With a sad look and a disappointed heart, Clarissa still stood where she was. Diaz rejected her love. Their close relationship so far, Diaz's concern for him is only as brother and sister. No more. Yenny was right. Diaz wasn't in love with her. Clarissa was too confident. When she had planned everything well, it was to no avail. Clarissa was left behind. "Brother, you are so mean. I really love you. You also show that you love me all this time. In fact?" Clarissa clenched her fists in anger. Clarissa's heart was furious. She was not considered. Again, she accepted the refusal. Her father left her. Her mother didn't care. Last, the man which was Clarissa had hoped to cover up all the pain she had been feeling, had failed her too. Why was life not on her side at all? "But not Clarissa at this rate. I'll get you, Brother. You'll be mine. I'm sure of that." There was sadness mixed with

Yenny looked at Adimasta. The slanted young man with glasses turned back to face her. Adimasta did not mishear what Yenny asked. Yes, Yenny might know about his love for Clarissa. Adimasta was sure Clarissa couldn't help but tell her what happened in the park behind campus, forced to confess her heart to the eccentric girl. "Yes. I love her, Yenny." Finally, Yenny heard it from Adimasta's thin lips. Yenny exhaled, still unable to believe it. Actually, Yenny felt strange that Adimasta could fall in love with Clarissa. Because in Yenny's view, these her two friend’s characters woukd not be possible to connect. "I don't even know how could it be like this." Adimasta raised his glasses to their original position. "You know she loves Mr. Diaz." Yenny still looked at Adimasta. "I know. And Mr. Diaz can't possibly love Clarissa. I just want her to be okay." Adimasta smiled faintly. "Are you sure you can still love Clarissa? You know this girl

Even though Diaz had vehemently refused twice, Clarissa didn't want to give up. She wouldn't get back down. She wanted to prove to her mother that she could find the right man for herself. That way, she wouldn't accept being forced to receive one of her mother's friends' children. In addition, Clarissa could make her mother calmer, if her health condition worsens. Clarissa was just getting into the car when her mother called. Rosita asked her daughter to go home. Clarissa was on the way to the boarding house, then she turned around towards her house. Rosita mostly was working from home. The company she worked for understood her condition and shifted the tasks she must complete more freely, which could be done without having to come to the office daily. Rosita smiled seeing her daughter coming. Clarissa was no longer reluctant to go home, even though she felt more comfortable in the boarding house because of the girl's busy schedule on campus and its surroundings. Clarissa walked over

Clarissa's eyes still looked at Adimasta's mother and sister. She didn't understand why they were laughing. But Clarissa was sure they were laughing at Adimasta. "Sorry, Clarissa. I like to joke around like that. Adimasta is too flat and stiff. That's why I call him the woodman." Anindita's wide smile was still on her lips, she explained what her words meant. "Oh, I see ..." Clarissa took her smile. "But he's good. He is diligent and smart. He's never been a bother boy since he was a little one. I am so grateful to have him as a son. A boy but he doesn't give me a headache." Adimasta’s mother commented. "Ahhh, a promotion. Yes, it is!" Anindita glanced at her mother. Adimasta’s mother released her smile again. "I don't mean it, Anin. I just said the true." Clarissa smiled again, thinly. Her heart was speaking to herself. How would this mother and daughter react when they found out that Adimasta was in love with Clarissa? Would they be

Diaz's hand reached out to Clarissa. The girl just stared at her idol's handsome lecturer, not wanting to budge. "Clarissa ... please ... We'll talk, come on ... Give me your hand ..." Diaz coaxed Clarissa. The girl was still stuck on the fence, above. The slightest bit, she would have jumped and fallen on the asphalt outside the high fence of this house. Clarissa looked at Diaz. He looked so worried. Clarissa held out her hand. As soon as their hands came together, Diaz pulled Clarissa and the girl fell into his arms. "Why are you desperate? Why?"

"Madam ..." That one word that Mrs. Tirah said, Clarissa immediately knew, something had happened to Rosita. "What happen to my mom?" Clarissa quickly got off the bed and walked over to Mrs. Tirah. "At the hospital. She fainted at the office. Mr. Bram called me. Madam has to be treated." Mrs. Tirah explained in a slightly trembling voice. "Oh God ..." Clarissa rubbed her head. She turned to Yenny. "Come with me. I have to see my mom." "Okay." Yenny nodded. The two girls quickly left the house and headed for the hospital. When they got there, Clarissa and Yenny were running halfway looking for Rosita's room to be treated. In the room, some doctors and nurses helped.

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!!
