I Love You, Uncle
Chapter 22

Apparently all this time Ansel did not want if they were in a relationship openly in front of others. Because Ansel understood that it would cause Clara to get scorned by many people. Ansel only intended to protect Clara from those who would hurt her heart.

"It's all for your good and happiness, Clara. If I openly show others that we both have more special relationships than an uncle and a bang, then they will sneer at you" Ansel explained.

"Is it true what Uncle said?" ask Clara who is still doubtful of Ansel.

"Why am I lying" Ansel said.

Because he wanted to cover up his feelings for Clara from the people around him, Ansel was also forced to date Delia so that everyone did not think badly about the closeness of Ansel and Clara so far.

"I don't really love Delia, I really swear" Ansel said.

After Ansel admitted everything, it made Clara even more worried. If Ansel had honestly loved her long ago when Clara chased after him, then Clara would not have hesitated to accept Ansel. But now Clara's heart seems closed to Ansel.

"Everything's gone, my feelings for you aren't the same as they used to be" Clara lied.

"Don't try to lie to your own feelings. I can still see from the look in your eyes all this time to me, even I can still feel when last night we.." replied Ansel who was then cut by Clara.

"Stop to keep bringing up the last night, it's just your feelings and you never really know how I've been feeling!" clara begins to lose control of herself.

Ansel begins to be haunted by guilt for being late to admit everything precisely when Clara has begun to realize their relationship will not be good and when Clara tries to stay away.

"It's not true, I shouldn't have fallen for my own Uncle, I should have realized earlier and stopped before things went too far" Clara said, holding back tears.

Once again Ansel asks Clara for clarity about her feelings. He hopes that Clara will change her mind. But unfortunately, Ansel's expectations are not in accordance with the reality.

"Jawab be honest, do you still love me?" ask Ansel expectantly.

"No," Clara replied confidently as she stared intently at Ansel's eyes.

Ansel was struck by lightning in the middle of the day because he heard Clara's answer. After saying that, Clara ran away from there, and chose to return to her parents' house.

"No! I don't love him anymore!" clara Mumbles.

Clara then drives her car out of Ansel's yard. Clara's heart and mind suddenly messed up so he drove his car at high speed. There's a feeling of regret in Clara for what she did last night with Ansel.

"I shouldn't have come to Uncle's house yesterday so this wouldn't have happened" Clara murmured.

Clara swore in her heart that she did not want to go back to the house and repeat the same mistake. Now all Clara has in mind is how she can forget and let go of Ansel.

Meanwhile at home, Ansel was sitting limp on the floor still lamenting the departure of Clara who just like that. Ansel ruffled his hair in frustration. Finally he grabbed his phone and tried to contact Clara.

Tut…

"Come on Clara, pick up my phone," murmured Ansel anxiously.

Clara who was driving her car suddenly glanced at her phone that rang. When she finds out that Ansel is calling, Clara turns off her phone. He really didn't want to deal with that guy for now.

"Damn! He turned off his phone!" ansel said annoyedly and then threw his phone on the sofa.

Ansel sat on the sofa holding his head with both hands. Somehow Clara's words that made him disappointed continued to ring in his head. Ansel wanted to follow Clara to her parents' house, but she suddenly hesitated.

"If I come to see Clara at her house not necessarily I can take her heart and make her trust me again, because I know what she needs is my confession to her in front of everyone," ansel's Mumm.

Ansel got up from his seat and walked back and forth. He was trying to find a way to overcome all this. Ansel's mind was completely muddled and mingled right now.

He who initially hoped that his honesty could make his relationship with Clara improve actually ended the opposite, which became worse. Moreover, when Ansel took away the sanctity of Clara, it became more and more a burden for Ansel.

"Is what I'm doing wrong? But Clara and I both enjoyed it" Ansel asked inwardly.

But Ansel was surprised, if indeed Clara wanted him now it was Clara who refused him. Was it because Clara felt that the two of them had a family relationship. Long enough to daydream, Ansel realized that he should not give up.

"No, I'm not just gonna give up. I should be able to get back to Clara's heart no matter what, even I'll tell everyone that I love Clara so much not as a niece" Ansel said confidently.
