Love, Life, and Jennifer
A Little Note from Clarence...

Where did Clarence go?

"Ummm... Mas, he's got something on it, gk?" Ask me again

"Lack of tau, mbak... He went straight to the reception room... Anything else, ma'am?"

I thought for a moment, and Young Joon is now approaching me.

"What's wrong? How, what is he..."

"Udah mas, thank you very much!" I said to the man.

"Well then, excuse me, yes!" The person said, then passed, a moment after me and Young Joon nodded.

"I'm going to the reception room, first!" I said to Young Joon

"I'm coming!" He said, then we went to the reception room.

When they arrived at the reception room, two young girls in traditional clothes stood behind the table.

Young Joon and I immediately approached them.

"Night, mbak." My broom is friendly

"Yes, night brother... Can we help you?" Say one of them.

"Ummm... Look, I want nanya... Male bule, who took room number..."

"Owww... Mr. Dougherty, huh?" The other girl.

"Yes! Clarence Dougherty!" I said.

The girl seemed to grab something from a drawer behind her, then approached me.

"Sir, Miss Elle? Ummmmm... Elizabeth Lie?"

Young Joon frowned, staring in surprise at me.

"Yes! What's up?"

"Look, that was Mr. Dougherty's got this for mbak." Said the girl, giving me a medium-sized red envelope.

I immediately grabbed him, and looked at him.

"Mrs. Dougherty checked out at about 19:15, ma'am! 2 Days sooner, and..."

"Ok, thank you so much, ma'am!" I said then passed, leaving the two astonished receptionists.

"What's wrong?" Young Joon said

"Eitherway! Clarence's never been this way, before." My heart, then immediately open the door.

I immediately walked towards the sofa, and sat on it, followed by Young Joon, who was sitting next to me.

I hesitated to open the envelope, but I finally opened it!

Dear, Elle...

Sorry if I didn't get to tell you about my departure, because... All suddenly...

I wanted to see you, just... I don't want to interfere with your intimacy with someone there, so... I decided to just go...

I'm sorry if I ruined our holiday mood, it's just, it's a real emergency! Ii'm sorry...

Clarence.

Flashback

POV AUTHORS

Finished shooting many pictures on the hill that he had shown Jenny before, Clarence immediately moved from there, to meet Jenny.

As soon as he arrived not far from where Jenny was, Clarence watched, the woman who had been in his heart long enough, was hugging a man...

"Who is that man? Is that her ex-husband? Didn't Elle seem comfortable in the man's arms?" Clarence thought to himself.

Clarence did not intend to approach them in the least, especially when... They're kissing...

Clarence shed tears...

Elle, his first love, which even today is still very much expected, in fact, never opened his heart to him...

"Thank you, for all the time you've ever taken for me, Elle... Even with me, you just let go of all your pain, at least, I'm already very happy..." He said, then passed.

Clarence moved on from there, then thought about what he would do after this.

If he were to return to America, it would be outrageous!

But if he stays there, until their vacation is over, it will make his heart hurt!

Clarence is not one who can tolerate pain, no matter how small.

Suddenly his phone rang. It was from his aunt!

"Yes, bi?" Clarence said across here

"Darling... Where are you?" Aunty's voice shook across there, seemingly out of tears?

"What's up, bi? What's going on?" Clarence was worried about his aunt's situation.

"Clare, since yesterday, the police, FBI, and CIA have been coming here, looking for you..."

Clarence immediately closed the call, and turned off his phone!

He immediately stopped a public vehicle, in order to arrive at the inn as soon as possible!

As soon as he arrived at the inn, Clarence immediately tidied up his belongings, and not to forget, wrote a message on a piece of paper.

After that, he rushed to the reception room, handed the keys to the room, and asked a receptionist for an envelope.

"Do you have an envelope?" He told the receptionist.

"Ah, there is a master."

"May I ask, one?"

"All right!" The receptionist answered, then grabbed an envelope, and gave it to Clarence.

"Look, miss... Please give this to Elle... Ummm Elizabeth Lie!" He said, then rushed.

****************************

POV JENNIFER

Clarence saw my relationship with Young Joon?!

Is that what got him out of here?

But, Clarence couldn't possibly do such a childish thing like this!

What is this!

"What's up, Jenny?" Young Joon's words, disperse my daydream.

"Ummm... Ng... Joon, what time is it?" I said.

Young Joon immediately turned his head towards his watch.

"21.18... What's up?" The answer then turned towards me.

"How about we go to the airport, I think Clarence's still..."

"Darling..." Young Joon interrupted me immediately, and looked at me with a shady look.

"I'm..."

Young Joon hugged me...

"He's a grown man... Maybe..."

"He was never like this..." I said, then outlined a hug.

Young grabbed my face, with both hands.

"We'll call him later, okay?" Then my phone suddenly rang.

Unknown number?

Usually I never answer calls from numbers I don't know, it's just... Maybe it's Clarence!

"Huh-hello?" My sap is doubtful across here.

"Hi Elle! I'm sorry I didn't get to see you..." Someone across there.

Clarence! Yeah! I really know his voice!

"Based on a stupid kid! What are you doing!!! You made me..."

"Elle... Something happened to auntie, so I..."

"What happened to him?"

"Haha... Just relax... His son is doing it again... He needs me, so..."

"Cleele..."

"Hmmm?

"Why didn't you meet me on the hill?"

Silence, until...

"Alright, Elle... I have to leave soon! Take care... And keep breathing!"

"Cleele..."

'Tuuuttt... Tuut...'

Call disconnected...

Silent...

What's wrong with the kid?

Is it true, what he said?

Why is there something in my heart, hearing his words?

Clarence is not a liar!

I know the kid very well...

"Jenny..." Young Joon again broke my daydream.

"Eh... What's?"

"Hmmm... Why?"

"Nothing..."

"What was it, that boy..."

I immediately nodded.

"Thank God..." Her speech.

I then moved off the sofa.

"Alright, Joon... Let's go to the reception room, now!" I said.

Young Joon looked astonished.

"For what?!"

"For what else! Of course to rent a room for you!" Ketusku

"What do you mean!"

"Do we have to sleep together in this room!"

"Of course!"

I immediately opened my eyes, not believing to hear what he said!
