Four-String
Claras's Feelings

A week had passed, now that Claras was at the house of his Grandpa and Grandma who lived outside the city.

While living here, his days were filled with deep sadness and regret about the fate he received.

Claras was very uncomfortable here, wanting her to go home, but it was impossible.

A few days ago, before Juragan and Madam returned to the village, they had registered Claras at one of the city's favorite schools.

And in the end, Claras was accepted into the school even though Juragan and Madam spent a lot of money to get Claras into the school.

Actually Claras refused to be put into the school, because his only desire is to return to school in the village with his friends.

When at his Grandpa and Grandma's house, Claras very rarely went out of the room, even when the meal time was not at all appetizing.

To the extent that Grandpa and Grandma often persuaded Claras to go out of the room and eat together.

Grandpa and Grandma Claras is a very good person, humble and also generous, in contrast to the Juragan who as his biological child even has a nature that is inversely proportional to the nature of both parents.

The Scribe can be like that because of a mistake in how to educate Grandpa and Grandma when he was a child, they both of them from childhood have been used to pamper Juragan so that what he wants from the past is always in his share, but they did not expect that Juragan nature could become what it is today.

Of course it could happen, considering Juragan is the only child and the only heir of his family.

Actually Claras is the Grandson most dear to Grandpa and Grandma, because of his kind and humble nature.

Different from the nature of Sekar who has been from childhood imitate the nature of both parents.

From the morning Claras had not eaten at all and had not left the room.

It made Grandpa and Grandma very worried, they did not want Claras to fall ill because they did not want to eat.

The two of them constantly persuaded Claras to eat even a little.

" oks...Geck..Tok "Knap on the door slowly.

" Claras...Come eat...Grandma's been cooking good food for you, "Push Grandma in front of the door.

" Yes Race...Come eat with Grandpa, your old-fashioned Grandma who is tired of cooking food for you, "Smoothly persuades Claras.

" oks...Geck..Tok "Kick back to the door of Claras' room.

" Claras...If you do not want to eat later you can get sick...Claras, "The second time Grandma persuaded.

Not getting any answers at all from Claras, Grandma began to worry about Claras's state inside.

" Paa...This way, Claras still did not want to leave the room, "Holding Grandpa's hand with worry.

" My mom calmed down...Papa will try to persuade Claras again, "Convince Grandma.

Grandfather tried as much as possible to persuade Claras gently, so that Claras' heart could be broken.

" Crew..Crick..The crew of "Grandfather tried to open the door of the room who knows not in the key.

" Claras...Let's eat, son...Grandpa was waiting for you...Claras, " Still trying to persuade her favorite granddaughter.

" oks...Geck...Tok "Granny knocks on the door.

" If Claras doesn't want to eat...Grandma doesn't eat either...Let Grandma be sick, "Granny's last stratagem.

From inside the room Claras actually heard everything that her Grandpa and Grandma were talking about.

But he has no appetite for food or just out of the room, because his life now seems to have no meaning that only emptiness and sadness.

But when he heard the words of his Grandmother who did not want to eat if he did not eat, he immediately felt very guilty for making Grandpa and Grandma worried.

Claras did not want to hurt her Grandpa and Grandma because of her outrageous behavior.

" Crew...Crick...The crew of "Claras began to unlock his room.

From outside Grandpa and Grandma who heard the door lock Claras room began to open, felt very happy because finally Claras wanted to also leave the room.

" Paa..Claras wants out Paa, "Hugging Grandpa out of pleasure.

When Claras opened the door, Grandma immediately hugged Claras because she was so happy she finally wanted to come out of her room.

" Claras..." Hugged Claras.

Claras also apologized because her recent behavior had troubled and alarmed both of them.

" Claras apologizes to Kek-Nek...Because Claras has been troubling you, "I apologize and hug Grandma tight.

Grandpa and Grandma did not bother about it at all, most importantly Claras did not worry them anymore and did not go on hunger strike again.

" It's not papa...Grandpa understood, "Cell off Claras' hair.

" It is important not to repeat...So that Grandpa and Grandma would not worry, "Granny kissed Claras as a sign of her affection.

" I'm sorry, Grandma, "I apologize again.

" Yaudah now let's eat together...Grandpa's hungry, "Take Claras.

" Yes.." A sweet smile from Claras.

~ Several Days Later ~

Today is the first day that Claras goes to her new school, for some reason she is very even and has no intention of attending her new school.

But inevitably, Claras must attend school to support her future and so she can graduate as soon as possible and return to the village to meet her three best friends.

When setting foot in the school area for the first time, the atmosphere immediately changed.

The atmosphere in this school is very much different from the atmosphere of the school, where in the new school it is like a school among distinguished people, whereas he is only a person from the village who is still unfamiliar with urban areas.

Claras is escorted by her homeroom class to her new class.

In class, Claras was told to introduce herself to be more familiar with her new friends.

" It's Claras...Who will be your new friend in this class, "The homeroom teacher introduces Claras to his students.

" Nah Claras...This will be your class and now try to introduce yourself first to your new friends, "Begging Claras to introduce yourself.

Before introducing himself, Claras observed the entire class and all the students looking towards him.

He felt a strange thing like there were some students who did not like his presence in that class.

" Include my name, Claras...Hopefully we can be good friends, "Slightly booked the body as a form of respect.

But there were also many students who accepted with all their heart the presence of Claras in that class.

" Greetings to know.."

" Greetings know..."

" Wish it's comfortable here..."

Some students welcomed Claras.

" Thank you "Claras thanks everyone.

The introduction was over, Claras was asked to sit on an empty bench.

" That's your bench...Please sit down, ". Master pointed at Claras' bench.

While walking to his seat, Claras hopes that at his new school he does not experience problems and can be smooth until graduation.

While sitting on the bench, for some reason...Suddenly Claras remembers the twins Rey and Deden and questions how they were there.

" The situation of the three of them there how yes...I hope they're okay there, "

A moment to think about the situation of his three friends.

" I'm really sorry to you guys, "The deep regret of Claras.
