Love In Longing
Ct. 17 (Oh! )

Ever loved?

Have you ever had a long distance relationship, or the usual one in LDR brief, aka Long Distance Relationship?

If ever, it must know it feels to love but shackled longing because of the distance that stretches far. But all that still feels has meaning, if a relationship is clearly happening and manifested properly.

Another story with that experienced by this young man.

Loved since sitting in class X Senior High School, but was restrained and hidden even until both graduated Senior High School. It doesn't make any sense actually. Given the increasingly sophisticated world, and the association of young people is getting wider.

Then, due to a misunderstanding, one of them chose to stay away. Not only away from the life of the person he loves, but also away from all the hustle and bustle of life in his country.

So that the two loves have not been united until the age of those who have passed the number 20 years.

Just incredible!

Then, one clarity makes itself finally back to the homeland after 3.5 years like disappearing in the swallow of the Earth. The goal is only one, find the truth and explain everything. To start everything from zero. Write on a new sheet, hoping a colorful pen will decorate it.

Could ya?

Is it that easy? As time goes on... As age continues to grow... When feelings can change at any time... At the time when people just keep turning around for a month to approach.

The pair of eyes of the young man who was now struggling for two titles at once was frozen in disbelief with what he saw before his eyes.

When with great confidence he saw ahead there was the only girl he really wanted to meet. The only girl who made him struggle to come to Indonesia, even though he only had four days off. Which means the day after tomorrow he has to return to the land of people.

Arsen was about to open the door, when he saw that Clarice was about to open the door on her right. He had a smile ready, the flowers he had picked up using his left hand.

But Arsen did not get out of the door that had been opened half, the sound of someone running from the direction in the mall distract Arsen and Cla who had come out of the car, but he has not closed the car door.

Arsen was stunned when he saw a man he did not know running to Clarice in a hurry. But from the way he dressed, Arsen can surmise if the man was not a mall worker.

And Arsen was more and more confused, when he saw the man running towards Cla with a very charming smile.

"Hi!" greet that person who can also be heard by Arsen.

"Hi, Brother!" cla answered while closing the car door.

Hearing Cla's reply, Arsen closed his car door very slowly so as not to make a sound. Downplays his intention to get out of the car and approach Cla. More precisely he wanted to observe the situation first.

' Who is that man? Why call him brother? I know Cla doesn't have an older brother. '

Arsen murmured inwardly by leaning his head on the round steering wheel, so as not to be seen.

"It's been a while?" ask the man who is none other than Victor.

"Not really! I'm just waiting for Naufal and Gwen!" answer Cla.

' Oh! So it's true they all made a deal... '

The inner racer, staring at the people who used to be very close to him.

"Still long?" ask Victor again to Cla.

"It doesn't seem like it, brother!" cla replied, turning towards the entrance of the vehicle to the A2 parking floor.

Along with that, appeared the Mercedes Benz C-Class white which is none other than the Naufal car.

"Well! That's them!" cla pointed to the car that immediately took a parking position next to Clarice's car.

"Oh, is that Gwen's boyfriend?" victor asked slightly in a whisper, looking at the young man behind the wheel.

"Yes, brother! Name's Naufal! My best friend since Junior High School!"

"Hi!" greet Victor kindly to Naufal and Gwen who begin to move closer to Cla.

"Hmmm!" naufal answered flatly, even acting a little cold towards Victor. This was the first time he met Victor in person. Because usually he only heard stories from the lover alone.

"Include! I'm Victor!" Victor reached out to Naufal.

"Nowfal!" naufal answered, welcoming Victor's hand briefly.

Victor could certainly feel if Naufal seemed to be deliberately cold and half-shabby to him. Although he did not know what was the cause of Naufal's behavior. This was the first impression they had met.

Unlike Naufal, Gwen smiled sweetly and kindly at Victor. It was as if the two knew each other well. This was the second time he had seen Victor from such a close distance. The second time he talked to Victor.

Realizing that the lover was smiling and being sweet to Victor, Naufal immediately grabbed Gwen's arm so that the distance between the two was getting closer. Then he embraced Gwen's shoulder very possessively.

As if to explain without a sentence to Victor, if he is Gwen's lover. And Gwen, not to bother anyone.

"Haram law smiles like that at men other than me!" naufal whispered softly but sounded very serious in Gwen's ears.

"Eh...Where is the law from? Who's making it?" tanya Gwen turned to Naufal who glanced cynically at Victor who looks back to invite Cla to chat.

"Of course I am!" whisper of Naufal. "Be aware that such smiles are on him again!" said Naufal mentoel Gwen's nose.

"Yes.iyaa, young master!! I'm sorry, honey!" Gwen wrapped her hands around Naufal's waist, and stared at the spoiled young man who had been her lover for more than four years.

"Goody!" naufal rammed his nose into the smooth white cheek of a Gwen Arabella.

Clarice glanced faintly at her two best friends who always looked equally bucin. It's just that something like this has become his daily food every time he goes with the two boys.

"Yes, already! Come to my cafe now!" take Victor. "I've prepared a lunch menu that you haven't tried yesterday for you guys, Clarice."

"Eh, Brother! Brother Victor shouldn't have bothered... The typical drinks of Cafe Sis are enough. Why is it that the lunch menu is all!" clarice said she felt bad.

"Absolutely no hassle! Consider it my greeting!" answer Victor.

"Yes, come on! Hungry this!" sahut Naufal with a little ketus again and again.

"Yes!" gwen pinched Naufal's stomach on the side. As if warning if Naufal's way of speaking is not polite for a moment of first introduction. Moreover, the one being talked to was a level Brother that he should appreciate.

But Naufal who felt that Cla did not match Victor, and only matched with Arsen his best friend was just a small pitting while smiling ignorant. Without any intention of apologizing.

"Oh!" his screech gently pulled Gwen's hand which pinched her stomach.

Little chuckles. "Already! It'sit's okay. Come on!" suhut Victor who tries to be mature face those who are still two years under him.

And go three friends followed the steps of Victor who walked the front closest to the entrance of the mall. And Cla walked behind Victor. While Naufal and Gwen walked at the back of each other, of course with fingers that interlocked.

All that, what they were talking about, what they were talking about did not escape the slightest sight and hearing of Arsen. Except what Naufal whispered to Gwen earlier.

"Oh! So it was Big Brother level Naufal meant.." he muttered staring at the backs of those started to enter the mall area.

"Victor.." he muttered remembering the name of Cla's elder brother, when Victor mentioned his name when he became acquainted with Naufal.

"It looks like they are still in the approach stage." he continued looking hard. Jemari tapped on her round steering wheel.

"alright... This time I need to know the truth!" he shouted while opening the dashboard of the car, trying to find a mask.

"I won't just take it off this time." he hissed as he began to step into the mall. Follows the four people secretly to find the right moment to meet with Cla.
