Love In Longing
Ct. 14 (Change Hair Color )
If a white plane that says Qatar Airways airs in the sky to the airport of Indonesia by carrying passengers from the homeland who had been an idol at school, even to this second, to this day, and also who is now growing into a man who is concerned with science for the future.
So in Indonesia, a girl who is now growing into a woman who is increasingly beautiful and mature is sitting in front of the mirror of a beauty salon that is a subscription at the Metropolitan Mall. With the permission obtained from her four parents, now the black-haired girl chose to paint her hair into a brownish blonde.
Frustrated because of her hopes to meet Arsen as if extinct, the girl wants to change the appearance of her friends, with a new atmosphere. Not wanting to change himself for the worse, he just needs to look like a more cheerful Clarice. It was not Clarice who was silent just from waiting for something uncertain.
"How about, Miss Clarice?" ask a beauty therapist who knows enough of the girl. "Satisfied with the result?"
Clarice moved her head to the right and to the left. Seeing the hair that was originally black is now a brownish blonde with the top that looks darker than the bottom. The hair remains wavy at the ends, just like before.
Beautifully arranged between white and smooth skin, it certainly makes the girl look fresher for a situation where she is sad, but still has to stand upright on her own feet. Among the chatter of singles who are still loyal embedded in him.
"Good! Just the way I want!" cla smiled as he looked at himself in front of the big mirror.
After making the payment, Cla walked out of the beauty salon area with new hair and a new smile. It was as if the burden on his shoulders had partially descended. So that he can walk very relaxed and light.
Cla walked alone in the mall area, without Gwen who was currently enjoying her day off with Naufal somewhere they went today.
Walking around in black flatshoes and her dress, the girl paid no attention at all. Till...
"Clarice?" call someone from the right side, where the sound comes from inside a Cafe located not far from the location of the beauty salon that has just entered Cla.
Clarice turned to the source of the voice. And what he saw first was a handsome figure who had recently appeared before him all of a sudden and even without any prior agreement.
"Hi, Brother!" clarice replied when she saw the figure walking closer to her.
"alone?" ask Victor when he gets to Cla.
"Yes!" cla replied smiling kindly.
"New hair, here.." victor notices Clarice looking fresher than she did yesterday when she meets Cla at one of the biggest bookstores in the Metropolitan Mall about two days ago.
"Hehe! Aye! Want a little color." said Cla combing her hair on the left using the fingers of her left hand. Of course, the girl did not want to say why she changed her hair color.
"Oh..." Victor nodded with a gentle smile that captivated the look of the girls. "But you do look fresher. And for sure.so it looks more beautiful..."
Smiling sweet and friendly. "So you can! Thank you, Brother! I became more confident with the praise of the most idolized student on campus!" joked the beautiful girl.
"Hmmm... Whatever your hair color, you will still look beautiful!" Victor nodded with a smile that could not escape when he was with the girl.
Cla smiled sweetly in response to the sentence of his leveler brother which he considered quite excessive. Because Cla really does not want to be big-headed with anyone's praise.
"Then...Where is this going? Or go straight home?"
"Yes!" answer Cla. "The streets are also lazy, if there is no Gwen!"
"If you want to take a walk... I can accompany! I happen to be alone too!" victor hopes a lot of course.
"Oh, huh?" clarice asked, frowning.
"Yes!"
"Why, brother? We meet outside a lot, and Brother is always alone?" ask Cla. "When Brother Victor has a friend who is said to always accompany Brother!" cla continued astonished.
"Huh?" screech Victor stunned. "Yes too, huh? Why do we meet so many times accidentally like this, and I'm always alone?" re-tanyanya. "Or maybe because I'm single?" tanyakanya.
Chuckling, Cla responded to the senior's sentence with a funny smile.
"If Brother Victor mah really easy! Just show me which girl. I'm sure they won't deny any reason!" said Cla.
Victor was silent for a moment. He looked at Cla very closely since Cla said so. And his heart murmured...
' What if that girl was you... You won't refuse either? '
The words that were only spoken in the heart finally came out with just a bitter smile, and as if expecting something that would definitely be fake.
"So come home.or take a walk with me?" ask Victor. "If you don't mind.. Would you like to come with me to the cafe?" ask Victor. "It just so happened yesterday that I just opened the Cafe that I started with one of my friends from the faculty of cuisine." said Victor.
"Wow!" cla exclaimed with a pair of rounded eyes. "Son Victor has started pioneering work in the world of per-Cafean?" asked Cla innocently.
"Verily not really." replied the graduate student. "So we used to be one level and both became BEM committee. Incidentally after finishing college he was reluctant to join a large restaurant though. Finally I was out of capital, he made the menu and so on. He will also jump directly as a Chef there." explained Victor.
Cla nodded his head and looked in admiration at those who had started pioneering work in the midst of busy studying.
"Where is it, brother?"
"Coconut Ivory Mall!" answered Victor enthusiastically.
"How's it?"
"Can... but not for long, brother? Because I was only allowed to go to the salon!"
"OK!" answer Victor. "You want a car with me?"
"But I also brought my own car, brother!"
"Let me get back here!" answer Victor.
"Emmm. It seems like it would be better if I brought my own car, brother! Because if you go back and forth it will take a longer time. Not to mention the jam."
"Oh..." Victor nodded in disappointment but also did not mind. "OK! I'll follow you from behind!" answer Victor.
"OK! Agree!"

"Wow! Lots of people too, brother!" cla said when he entered the Cafe area on the second floor of the mall.
"Because there are still many promotions. So there must be many who are eyeing the promo price." replied Victor smiling.
"Yes too!" cla gumam. "Until there's no seat!"
"We're sitting in the VIP room. Because it must be deserted." replied Victor.
"Hmmm.." Cla nodded.
And the two also entered the VIP room which was blocked by striped glass. There are chairs and sofas available in there. But it is located at a distance far enough from one table to another table.
"Cool also the design that you prepare for the cafe today."
"I asked a friend from the design faculty to design this Cafe. He is so talented!"
"Enak ya! I have many friends from all majors!"
"Hmmm.." Victor nodded as he sat down on the sofa he chose. And looked at Cla who was still looking at the decoration on the wall.
"Good day, Mr Victor?" greet a waiters who entered the VIP room. "It's a menu available for today" he said proffering his menu book.
"OK!" answer Victor. "You choose first, Clarice!"
"Okay!"
***
"Tomorrow to take your friend to my cafe, okay?" pinta Victor when both were in the parking area to drive Cla to pick up his car.
"I don't promise, brother! But I'll try to take it!" answer Clarice.
"Yes! i wait!"
"Hemm..thank you for today's treatise, Brother!"
"Together!" answer Victor. "You want me to buy every day too!" gelak Victor but in his heart he was very serious with what he said.
Cla responded only with a voiceless laugh. Serious or not serious about what Victor said, of course Cla does not intend to do that. Or some kind of free meal.
"Bye, Brother!"
"Bye!"
Go the girl left the parking area of Kelapa Gading Mall by driving her own car.
In his heart he dreamed...
...' If only this kind of attitude was Arsen... Everything will feel different... '...
