~~~~~~•••••~~~~~~

Clara, a 17-year-old girl, is just in the 3rd year of high school. She was forced to confess her love to a man 18 years older than her.

Yes, because only Joe Sebastian could make her enchanted and fall in love.

However, the man rejected Clara's love, because he only saw her as a younger sister.

Joe understood Clara's stubborn nature very well. He was forced to reject her cruelly.

What will Clara do? Will he give up? Or is she still struggling to fight for her love for Joe?

===

Part 1

Joe Sebastian, a 35-year-old man, was feeling sad because of his wife's recent divorce petition in religious court. He continued to consume the alcoholic drinks in front of him.

One by one, the alcohol bottles became empty, but Joe still felt the emptiness in his heart. In an apartment unit, Joe isolated himself for two days, not going to work, not seeing his daughter, and even forgetting to send money to Clara.

Yes, Clara was a poor girl entrusted to Joe by her parents ten years ago. At that time, Joe was a colleague of Devano and Cella. Clara's parents had died in a multi-car accident. Since then, Joe felt responsible for Clara. For ten years, Joe had taken care of Clara, providing her education, pocket money, and buying her clothes. Not only that, Joe had promised himself to continue taking care of Clara until she married a man of her choice.

The doorbell rang.

Joe remained motionless.

The doorbell rang for the second time.

Joe had to get up from his seat. He walked wearily toward the door, feeling annoyed about who could be disturbing him.

"Who dares to disturb me?" Joe shouted as he pulled the door handle.

Clara fell silent, startled. This was the first time she had been scolded by Joe, someone she highly respected.

"I...I'm sorry, Uncle," Clara whispered, taking a step back.

"Oh, it's you. Come in!" Joe said, trying to control his emotions.

"No, Uncle, I can come back later or tomorrow," Clara said shakily, not expecting to receive such a scary shout from the authoritative man.

"Come in, don't argue. It's the beginning of the month, and you need to get your pocket money; otherwise, you'll go hungry during lunchtime!" Joe said flatly. He roughly rubbed his face, trying to refresh his vision.

Joe opened the door wide for Clara to enter.

Clara followed, walking slowly, tracking Joe's every step. She glanced around the room; it was still 2 p.m., but the curtains were closed. The room's lights were turned off, creating a gloomy atmosphere. Only a small amount of sunlight filtered through the slightly open curtains.

"Uncle, are you okay?" Clara asked softly, glancing at her wrist to confirm that it was still 2 p.m.

"Yes, I'm fine. Why do you ask?" Joe replied with his characteristic deep voice.

"Let me stay longer here; I'll clean up this place. After that, I'll leave," Clara said. She walked to the curtains, opening them one by one to allow more light to enter the room. She also opened the ventilation to reduce the stuffiness.

Joe took a quick look and saw no reason to object. He let Clara open all the curtains, revealing the messy and dirty state of the table in the middle of the room.

Joe went into the bedroom to find his wallet, took out some money, and put it in an envelope, the same amount as Clara's monthly allowance. Then, he returned to the living room.

"This is your pocket money," Joe said, placing the brown envelope on the table. Then, he reclined on the sofa.

Clara glanced at the cluttered table. There were several empty alcohol bottles scattered around, dirty and disordered glasses, many cigarette butts, and scattered matchsticks.

Clara swallowed her saliva and shook her head softly. She decided to clean the table.

"You can go home; I can handle it myself," Joe said firmly.

"No, Uncle, I'll leave after cleaning everything," Clara insisted. She started putting the empty bottles into the trash can and took the dirty glasses to the nearby kitchen.

Joe got up from his seat, supporting his face with both hands.

"My marriage is about to end, my dear Vivian! Why did you choose your career and Kimmy Olivia, our little daughter, over me?" Joe murmured, and tears began to moisten his cheeks. The impending divorce was a heavy burden for Joe, who still loved his wife deeply.

Meanwhile, Clara had finished washing all the glasses and had tidied up the table.

"Thank you, Uncle," she said while taking the envelope with her money. She saw the mature man sitting with his head hung low on the sofa.

Joe just nodded, his face showing no signs of relief.

"Wait a minute, is Uncle Joe crying?" Clara asked, walking over to Joe.

Joe didn't answer; he chose to look away. He felt weak in front of Clara, something he had always avoided.

"So, is what I read in the online media true?" Clara asked, sitting next to Joe. She didn't want to leave him alone.

"What do you know?" Joe stood up from his seat and walked to the balcony.

Clara followed, matching the steps of the mature man she admired so much. Even when he was just standing and breathing, Joe looked handsome.

"Aunt Vivian's divorce has been reported in the media, Uncle," Clara said, standing next to him and looking down, following Joe's gaze.

"So, you already know, Clara,"

"Yes, Uncle, I hope you won't be too sad,"

"I'm not sad; it's just that I still love Vivian very much," Joe lamented honestly.

"Stay strong, Uncle," Clara consoled him.

Hearing Joe's lament, Clara felt sad as well. Even though she had felt relieved when she heard about the divorce, she realized that this was her chance to get closer to Joe.

"I'm going to see my daughter. You should go back to the dorm now," Joe instructed.

"Alright, Uncle," Clara complied, turning and leaving the room. She was looking forward to her monthly meetings with Joe, even though they only happened once a month.

"Uncle, don't be sad. If Aunt Vivian doesn't want to live with you until old age, maybe one day you'll meet another woman who loves you sincerely," Clara said firmly.

"I am that woman, Uncle. I love you sincerely. Wait for me, Uncle; I will grow up and become a beautiful woman for you. There's no doubt; I also have genuine love for you," Clara thought to herself as she walked out of the room. At some point, she didn't know when, but at the age of 17, she realized one thing: she missed her meetings with Joe Sebastian, even though they only happened once a month.

Today, he decided not to go to work, leaving everything to his secretary, Faris.He was reading the story of Goldilocks to Kimmy, who was now eager for an afternoon nap. Understanding that his little girl became quite spoiled when he was at home, Joe continued to cradle her in his lap.Suddenly, Joe's phone rang with a call from Vivian, who now lived separately from him. Joe hesitated for a moment before answering, curious about the reason for Vivian's call and what she wanted.Despite the uncertainty, Joe answered the call, hoping for some good news."Hello," greeted Joe.It was clear from Vivian's angry tone and insults towards someone as a little rat that Joe sensed tension. Joe instructed her to beg for love. While Joe wasn't angry, he couldn't help but wonder who might have met Vivian and convinced her to withdraw the divorce suit.Joe laid Kimmy on the bed, put on wa

5.The car continued at a moderate speed. Clara shifted her gaze towards Joe, hoping to catch a glimpse of his smile, but she couldn't find it. Instead, she saw Joe's lips tightly sealed, as if harboring anger.Clara glanced out the window, biting her lower lip, sensing a bad omen. Joe might scold her.Her intuition proved right when, on a quiet road, Joe halted the car, pulling over to a secluded spot."Don't meddle in my personal affairs! What do you know? You're just a teenager, don't act mature and embarrass yourself. Not only that but what you did also makes me ashamed in front of Vivian! Understand!" Joe explained, his eyes piercing Clara.Hearing Joe's words, Clara fell silent. Tearfully, she lowered her head. It was the first time she had been scolded, and it hurt even more coming from Uncle Joe, the man she admired wholeheartedly."Anyway, I don't like your foolish actions!" Joe scolded, unaware that Clara was crying.Clara couldn't hold back her sobs; tears streamed down her

6.Instantly, the elevator doors successfully opened."Help me!"Uncle Joe shouted, and Clara was quickly lifted onto the prepared stretcher. The girl was unconscious, her body drenched in sweat.

One of his hands wiped Clara's cheek, hoping she could be saved.She remained unresponsive.Later, the girl was brought into the ambulance.Uncle Joe continued to gaze at Clara's face. There was a sense of regret for not buying Clara's ice cream. If Clara survived, he promised to buy her as much ice cream as she wanted.The watch on his wrist showed half-past seven in the evening.The man reached for Clara's hand. The medical personnel on the other side were busy installing an IV and providing respiratory assistance. Though very faint, Clara seemed to be breathing.

**7 || No Response ||**Clara remained silent, waiting for Joe to do something. However, her hope seemed to vanish as Joe didn't bring a tray to feed her.Joe continued to be engrossed in his phone until he stood up and walked toward Clara."It seems I can't wait for you here. Today, rest, and I'll be back in the evening to take you back to the dormitory. Take care! I have some work waiting for me!" His voice was as heavy as usual. Despite having just showered and not getting enough sleep, he still looked handsome, even while just standing there in silence."Okay, Uncle," Clara responded, disappointed.She played with her fingers while looking down.Her hopes were shattered. She thought that by hugging her last night, Uncle Joe would pay more attention to her, but no! The incident seemed to mean nothing to her idol. Proof of that was Uncle Joe now walking towards the door, leaving her alone in the seemingly spacious treatment room.Around 2 PM, after school hours, the door to the trea

8.Arriving at the parking area behind the hospital building, the four of them stopped by the car."You and Nadia can sit in the back," Mario instructed. He preempted Clara, who wanted to sit in the front. Unwilling to have the girl sit next to Joe, he felt the need to assert his presence.Although a bit frustrated sitting in the back with Nadia, Clara tried to savor the moment, stealing glances at Joe and saving his handsome face as much as possible. Maybe next month would be the next time she would see him.The black car started moving at a moderate speed, cutting through the city streets."Let's grab a bite first," Joe suggested, trying to engage the attention of the three teenagers in his car."Yes, Om," Clara and Nadia responded. Mario chose to remain silent. He wanted to get out of Joe's car quickly, wanting to talk one-on-one with the man.The four-wheeled vehicle pulled over at a parking area of a restaurant that featured steak as its main menu.Joe, Clara, Mario, and Nadia wa

9.Days at school felt bland with the usual routine. Clara eagerly anticipated Sunday, the day Joe promised to take her shopping.Sunday morning arrived. Clara stirred her closet, looking for her best clothes, but found none. Eventually, she settled for casual attire. Clara had never bought clothes, not because the money Joe gave her was too little, but because she preferred saving money rather than spending it on clothes, considering she would start college soon. She couldn't rely on Uncle Joe for the rest of her life.Joe: [Come down quickly! I've arrived!]Clara opened the incoming message."I'm leaving now!" Clara informed."Have fun!" Nadia replied.Clara quickly went down, walking briskly towards the gate."Clara, come in!" Joe requested, throwing a sweet smile at the young girl walking towards him. Meeting Clara momentarily distracted him from his impending divorce proceedings."Alright, Om," Clara replied, running a little to reach him. Joe opened the door, and Clara sat in th

Chap 10
10.Morning came, and although lacking enthusiasm, Joe still sat down at the dining table, not wanting to worry his parents, Mr. Bond and Mrs. Linn. Mr. Bond sat in the main chair, Joe and Mrs. Linn on his left and right."So, are you going to attend the divorce hearing today, or are you going to work?" Mrs. Linn asked her son."I don't know, Mom, but I'm sure I don't want to attend the trial, and as for work, Fadli has taken care of everything for me," Joe replied, starting to fill his plate with bread and chocolate spread."Isn't this the only chance? Mediation schedules could help you resolve issues with Vivian. Are you just going to let it pass?" protested his mother. She felt it was a pity if there was no effort at all from Joe's side. While she understood that Vivian loved him very much."No reconciliation, Mom. Everything will not be the same. This divorce is Vivian's desire, not mine," Joe replied. "I'll do anything to make her happy. Perhaps this separation and divorce will m
