Love In Longing
Ct. 2 (Unobtainable Permission)
Sitting at the library table has become a common thing that Clarice has done since entering the campus where she studied. Not that it withdraws from the environment, just by studying and reading, he feels enough to forget the longing that is so great on the love that he never found.
"Gwen!" clarice screamed when suddenly the girl she had just talked to her best friend just appeared beside her.
"From earlier?" ask Gwen.
"Yes!" answer Cla. "Just finished class?"
"Yes." replied Gwen who immediately pulled out her phone and fiddled at a glance.
"Naufal said he found signs of Arsen" Gwen said.
"Yes." replied Cla with a heart that kept hoping that this time was not a mere empty hope. Given the difficulty of finding information about Columbia University Students. "When did Naufal say?"
"So.." she answered. "I hope you can meet Arsen soon and explain everything, Cla.." said Gwen sincerely.
"Yes, Gwen! I can't wait to see him."
Gwen rubbed Clarice's shoulder gently. "I'm afraid that Arsen has now turned into a cold man, or even into an installment man." murmured Gwen. "Not be a brutal man!"
"Don't make it!" clarice chuckled a little.
Hahaha" winked Gwen. "You know what, Cla?" gwen said suddenly with a bright and lively face.
"What?"
"Next month I'm going to take part in a world competition held in Brazil!" gwen said with a proud smile.
"What competition?"
"Programming!" answer Gwen. "It's my dream!" Gwen clapped a small hand in front of her chest.
"WOW!" cla looked at Gwen with a look of admiration. "Our college team qualified to represent Indonesia?"
"YES!" gwen was so happy. "You're right! We will compete at the world level. Thankfully, I finished my thesis! Stay filing, and hopefully pass well!"
"Congratulations, Gwen.... You are great!" Cla hugged the student closest to her for three more years.
"Of course!" sahut Gwen chuckled.
Gwen Arabella, Naufal's lover since XII Senior High School class is now a campus with Clarice. The difference is Gwen majored in Informatics Engineering, while Clarice Psychologist.
Clarice's closest friend is Gwen, not Hanna. The two met each other every day while on campus. Although different classes, do not limit the movements of those who are dominated to fill each other's lives that feel lonely.
If Gwen is no lover because it is the girl and Naufal undergoes a Long Distance Relationship. So Clarice is far from the status of an unclear relationship and can not be exhibited to anyone.

The day went by, dinner at the Kenzo Adhitama family was incomplete. Because Clarice's sister, Galen Adhitama, has been in the country since she graduated from school this year.
But the young man continued his studies in Australia, to then live with his Uncle, Gilang Adhitama. He is currently doing his first semester very well.
Yes, Galen Adhitama is quite smart, can even be said to be smart. So it is not wrong if the Daddy is staying up to date he is a prospective CEO in his company later.
Regarding Mr. Adhitama, or the founder of the Adhitama Group and his wife, they are now elderly of course. The couple is now living their old age only at home.
Grandpa Adhitama started walking with a cane. While Grandma Nurita, even already using a wheelchair, because the disease in old age began to attack this couple.
So did Mama Shinta. Mommy Calina's mom looks really old. He walked very slowly, and his eyes began to blur.
"Tomorrow morning, Daddy and Mommy are going to LA" said Daddy Kenzo after the dinner. "You guys at home are fine, huh?" his message to Cla and Dygta who are now in the X Alexander International School class.
"Yes, Daddy!" answer Dygta.
"Tumben once Daddy and Mommy leave all of a sudden?" ask Cla. "If business matters are also usually Daddy go alone..."
"Aunty Janne is critical" replied the mother. "It would be inappropriate if we didn't see him, wouldn't it?" answer Mommy Calina. "He's very nice to you guys."
"Aunty Janne's critical?"
"Yes.." said Daddy Kenzo.
"What is Aunty Janne sick of?" ask Dygta.
"Hip...." Daddy Kenzo fell silent, unable to continue the story with his youngest son. He just blinked and breathed a rough sigh.
"The pain that Aunty Janne suffered started from helping Daddy at the amusement park. Indeed, Aunty Janne has improved, because it is handled properly by a specialist doctor that Daddy bears. But a few days ago Aunty Janne and her husband had a terrible accident, and the hip cracked again later.." continued Daddy Ken.
"Oh my God, how clumsy Aunty Janne is." - Clarice was concerned.
"Yes.that's it..."
"Daddy, can Cla come?" cla asked looking fixedly at the father continued.
Hearing the name of the city of Los Angeles mentioned, although Los Angeles and New York are not adjacent, but it never hurts to visit the land of Uncle Sam, right?
"No, girl.." replied Daddy Ken. "You will still have to complete the thesis and the semester 7 exam."
He bowed deeply, and the girl could only nod later. "Alright, Daddy. Greetings to Aunty Janne. May he be healed and get better again..."
"Yes, Daddy will tell you."
"If it's a semester break... Can't she, Cla went on vacation with Naufal and Gwen to America?" ask Cla.
"Well!" peekit Dygta's. "Sister Cla want to go out of the country with a couple of lovers?" ask Dygta. "You want to be what? mosquito repellent?"
Sighing roughly, "It's not so Dygta... Not just Naufal and Gwen. But also with other friends. The problem with Daddy and Mommy is that it's just the two of them."
"Oh..." Dygta nodded in understanding.
"Traveling abroad without accompanying parents, is that a good idea?" ask the mother who is always possessive.
' I guessed it, if Mommy or Daddy wouldn't allow it. While if Mommy No, it is certain that three other parents will say No, too! '
' Okay, Cla! Don't dream too far. Just wait for the info from Naufal. I hope that person really is Arsen! '
Clarice murmured in the heart.
"Cla doesn't know, Mommy... But many friends are vacationing abroad together. So Cla also wants to." replied Clarice covering her wishes.
"Your friend's business is on vacation with a friend or his girlfriend is out of the country, it's their business with their parents, and also you still have business with Mommy" Mommy replied. "Life abroad is too free. Mommy doesn't like Mommy's kids to go on vacation alone without being accompanied by Daddy or Mommy."
"What's the difference with those who study abroad, like Galen?" ask Dygta. "Wouldn't they also hang out with the people there, and blend in with the lifestyle of the people there?"
"For that, Daddy only gives you two options to continue your education. In Indonesia by staying with Daddy and Mommy. Or in Australia by obeying the rules made Uncle Gilang." replied the Daddy firmly. "Urusan Naufal who studied abroad to take care of his parents. The important thing is that Daddy's kids stay under Daddy's or Uncle Gilang's supervision."
Dygta nodded, and confirmed what the Daddy said.
"You want to go on vacation to America again?" ask Daddy Ken.
"Don't want any more, Daddy... But Cla just wants to vacation with friends abroad. So not just to Dufan, Mini Park, or mall."
Taking a deep breath, the father continued quite dizzy indeed when it comes to facing young people today. Especially before that, he had no sister. The DNA left her quite confused on how to look after girls.
"After graduation, okay?" said Daddy Ken. "At least your age will soon increase..."
Cla thought briefly, then nodded in agreement.
' Let Naufal be the one to make sure Arsen is right or not. If it's right to meet, I'll catch up after college. '
Murmuring the girl inwardly, without thinking if she finished college, Arsen also finished. So, is Arsen still there if it's true he's Arsenio Wilson?
# # # # # #
Hopes of being able to join the Daddy to America have run aground, and going with Naufal is also impossible for now. So let him focus on finishing college first.
The school hours were over, Cla was walking alone, and this time he was going to the campus cafeteria.
Canteen at Binus University is not like the cafeteria on campus in general. More like a restaurant in the food court area in the mall. All the tables are neatly arranged, and all the food outlets line up neatly and cleanly tub in the mall.
Walking with half his head down, without realizing it when he reached the corner he hit someone who was also about to turn towards him.
Bruk!
His tall and slender little body, hit the chest of a person who immediately held both arms so as not to fall or fall into an irregular direction.
Realizing that she had hit something, Clarice reflexes took a step back and pulled her arm so that it would not be held by someone she believed to be a man. It moves very fast because the one hit just stays in place. Even so what happened attracted the attention of the students around him.
Because what? Indeed, who was hit by only one person, but who was behind that person? Hmmmm?
Like a flock of bodyguards who secure their bosses very carefully.
"Ops! Sorry!" cla reflexes lowered his head without seeing who was hit. Both hands were immediately reflexively clenched in front of the chest.
"It's okay! I was wrong, too." said someone who was hit by Clarice.
Clarice is no stranger to this voice. It was just that he was not used to interacting with the owner of this voice.
Realizing that she wasn't worth it, Cla shifted her body, and stuck to the wall. It was as if asking for the person who had just collided with him to pass through him. Alias goes first.
"You're the first one." The voice was heard in the follow with the owner moving aside.
And what that man did made many of the girls who watched shut their mouths who could not believe what they saw before their eyes.
