Love In Longing
Ct. 1 (Love and Longing for the Restrained)

[BEFORE READING THIS STORY, IT IS RECOMMENDED TO READ HIS FIRST NOVEL ENTITLED LOVE WHICH I DO NOT MISS. BECAUSE THE INTRODUCTION OF THE PLAYER IS IN THE NOVEL ]

BINUS UNIVERSITY'S... One of the best campuses in Indonesia is quite familiar in the ears of anyone. Starting from the lower middle class to the upper middle class, it is certainly no stranger to what BINUS University is.

It's just that not everyone, not all High School graduates can have the opportunity to continue their studies on this one campus.

Because what?

Some people, especially the lower middle class must feel heavy with the cost of tuition that is not cheap. Not everyone can easily reach the costs that have been designed since they entered the campus.

Not to mention if entering this one circle must definitely fight with the lifestyle of its students. Where on average they come from wealthy families, with facilities that do not play games anyway.

Although not all students highlight all of that with real. Still what is in wear, what is in hand, what is in hand, what is driving and what is in the wallet can make people from the lower middle class feel inferior without having to be deliberately in the pameri.

Indeed, anyone has the right to enroll in this one campus. The most important thing is the intention and ability, as well as a strong mentality if it comes from a sufficient family, or also entered by using the Scholarship track.

And again it all comes back to each individual when interacting socially with the environment.

It's okay! This one campus is not to be discussed in more detail about the ins and outs, profile and vision of its mission. Because we only need to focus on the story of one of the beautiful corrugated black-haired students who is currently sitting in a chair in the Binus University library.

Brighta Clarice Agasta's... She is a beautiful girl who lives by a rule that she cannot resist in her time. That is, can not date while still sitting on the bench Senior High School.

But who would have thought, when the rule was no longer applicable, the girl still remained aloof and never once seen close to any young man. Besides friends and young men who try to get close to him.

It raised questions for his four parents (Daddy Kenzo, Mommy Calina and Papa Zio, and Mama Zahra). But the girl looked relaxed. Although when he saw Felia who is his half-sister already in a close relationship with a male friend. Although it has not been confirmed if they are officially dating.

Days have passed since the moment of the girl's farewell with a young man known as a handsome racer. The real separation together holds that feeling must end ambiguously, because the last time they met was not a moment of fullness, school separation and also not at prom night. They last met and talked while still on the island of the Gods.

From that day until today the racer who is now in what is nicknamed, there is also no news. And today? How long has it been since that day?

Actually ...

Three more years have passed since Clarice returned home from the airport with tears of sadness. Young Clarice who should have at least one love story, just busy with studying and college after her hope to be reunited with the young man as if thinning and increasingly unpromising.

Love seemed to freeze in his heart. So it is difficult to be thawed by any man who tries to get close to him. Even the children of Daddy's friends who try to get close to him though.

The age of 18 years has now passed without realizing it. Her body looks more mature. The shape of the hair remains the same. And only occasionally did he straighten to the bottom end.

But that feeling of love still remains for the same person. He faithfully waited for a young man who had not even been heard from since they graduated Senior High School, until now he had sat in the 7th semester. And in two months he will enter semester 8.

Which means the fourth year of their farewell will soon come. But why do not there come any signs if the young man will return to Indonesia?

Even the long semester break did not make news of the return of the figure of Arsenio Wilson appeared. And the Wilson family residence did not show the young man during the long semester break.

If Clarice dared to recklessly, she could have persuaded Aunty Rania and Uncle Nathan to tell her where Arsen is now, and also asked for a phone number that could be contacted. Because Cla often met with them when there was an office event.

And again, Aunty Rania often went with Mommy Calina. Either for shopping together, or also for arisan activities held by the Momsky genk.

But the girl was too shy and hesitant to ask more about Arsen to her parents. Although half dead he held back his love and longing which continued and every day increasingly dusty.

All things given Arsen even still often he used. Watches, bracelets alphabetized by his name, and also London tee shirts are still often used even though he has been for years. Which for rich people like them, it is very rare that there are clothes that are more than three years old still in use.

Except for clothes or beloved items. And from here it is enough to explain if the clothes are his favorite clothes.

So what did Cla expect with all that?

He only hoped that fate would bring him to meet the giver of the goods. At least the short news, is the young man okay? Does the young man still remember him?

Or does the young man actually already have a lover in the land of Uncle Sam there?

No! One news that Cla does not want to hear for now and until anytime of course.

But how can the news, even Naufal who became his closest friend just do not know how the news of an Arsenio Wilson after almost four years apart.

The young man who had become an idol at Alexander International School was like to disappear in the swallow of Earth. His nose never once appeared and mingled with friends again. Even the reunion moment that every year was held, his name never appeared as an alumni who attended.

After graduating Senior High School, Naufal Mahardhika's best friend Clarice since Junior was continuing her studies at Oxford University, England. By majoring in the Master of Business Administration, or regular in short MBA, which belongs to the Faculty of Economics and Management.

Arsenic is said to be at Columbia University, New York. By taking the same major, which is business.

But this is just saying. Because of what is known by the girl, Arsen is quite interested in the field of Technology and Informatics. So it does not rule out the possibility if Arsen actually entered into the world of computing and all kinds of complexity.

England and New York are not close enough to allow people to meet easily. But for a relationship that was once very closely intertwined, isn't there no distance that can't be traveled?

After all, the son of the largest food supplier entrepreneur on the island of Java is quite often visiting America. To just vacation with his college friends who also come from various countries in the world. Not always in New York.

And this makes all the friends who have been established in the friendship is sure, if Arsen did withdraw from the friendship that has been established for three years at Senior High School.

Let it... Let time be answered, when they will meet again and gather like three years ago. While still studying wearing the same uniform every day.

Back to Binus University, in a room filled with bookshelves containing various books and also a lot of tables and chairs neatly arranged. The room called the library room is currently being visited by students who are trying to perfect the script.

The beautiful girl who is now 21 years old is repairing the thesis she has designed since she was in the 5th semester. Not without reason to do the thesis early, because indeed the girl wants not to be too heavy when approaching the thesis session in the final semester that she will live after this.

The beautiful girl who is none other than Brighta Clarice Agasta is sitting by reading a book called Personality Psychology: Dive into the mystery of human personality, by author Lynn Wilcox, and the, translated by Kumalahadi P.

Sitting alone, Cla focused on reading the book he had placed on the table. Next to the book is a new phone that will never be left wherever it goes.

Ting!

A message went into his phone, and made his screen turn full. Look at the screen, and a name appears there. Quickly the girl snatched the latest phone.

"Cla?"

"Yes, Fal?"

"Next month's semester break..."

"I know..."

"Husky thesis?"

"Yes, of course, Naufal..."

"I want to take you to New York! I found a little information about Arsen!"

"What! seriously?"

"Yes! This information seems to be very accurate!"

"Where are you from?"

"I have a new friend in the apartment next door, since two months ago! He's from Canada. But he finished S1 at Columbia University."

"So?"

"Our chat is getting further and further away. And he accidentally told me that he had friends in the apartment who came from Indonesia. And Arsen is below his level!"

"Continue?"

"He said his name was Arsen."

DEG! At least this is how a Clarice's heart beats.

"Are you sure, Fal?"

"Yes! It's just my friend doesn't know Arsen's full name."

"The Arsenic name is not just one, Fal!"

"But he said that his friend Arsen loved racing on the legal circuit."

"And the features presented are quite similar to Arsen!" naufal.

"But how do I ask Daddy, Mommy, Papa and Mama to let you go abroad?" cla asked in a clear voice.

"I'm busy preparing my script!" added Cla.

"Me too. actually..."

"Then what should I do?"

"I'm going there this semester... And look for Arsen's whereabouts first!"

"You're okay going alone?"

"What's wrong! I'll take my friend to New York!"

"Knew!"

"Yes! Once I know the truth, I'll call you right away."

"OKay! Thanks, Fal! You're my best friend!"

"You are my best friends! If I had known about this since I was in Senior, I would have put your love together on prom night!"

Naufal pinned a smiling emoticon in his message this time.

3 Same emoticons sent by Cla to Naufal.

"It's God's destiny, Fal..."

"Yes! Like me and Gwen, it's God's destiny. We have to LDR, I don't know when!"

"Back... Gwen will be safe with me!"

"Yes! I believe you two!"

"Yup!"

And the conversation ends here...

Clarice daydreams with a pounding heart. News that does not contain this certainty is enough to make the heart of the girl like running a marathon.

This wind news has raised tremendous expectations for the girl who has been waiting for so many years.

"Cla!"

Someone suddenly greeted and immediately sat beside him just like that when his daydream was looking far away.
