Love In Longing
Ct. 21 (Things That Never Changed)

His forehead that was covered in bangs sideways to the right touched the chest of the male field in front. Not accidentally, but intentionally by the man.

Feeling this kind of incredible closeness for the first time, made the beautiful girl even more pounding.

By strengthening her heart, strengthening her eyes to be able to see the good looks of an Arsenio Wilson back, Cla finally raised her head. Staring back at the young man's pair of brownish black eyes.

"Cla?" call Arsen shrewd, very wily.

"Emm?" Cla answered back in the same way as before.

"Is it all the same?" arsen asked with restraining the rumble of love and longing that was timid in the chest.

Cla frowned, as if he did not understand what the young man was talking about. And it makes Arsen who was originally able to neutralize himself, now become nervous again.

"meaning?" ask Clarice.

Arsen raised his head, staring at the ceiling of the toilet with a long sigh to re-neutralize his increasingly nervous self. Saying love and talking about love is not easy for some people.

He looked back, staring at the pair of beautiful eyes. "Is...is that still there for me?" ask Arsen more seriously.

DEG!

Cla's heart that has almost returned to normal is now back beating fast. A question that left him not knowing what to answer. The girl glanced at the left right in confusion. Breath was even hesitant to go in and out of his lungs.

The hand that had originally locked Clarice's body now swung back up, and ...

"Cla?" call Arsen while cupping Clarice's face, touching both palms on Cla's right and left cheeks, and make the beautiful face face face without being able to move.

"Hm?" Cla said it when his face was faced like that. Even though his heartbeat was getting faster.

"What I've told you in letters is real. And until this second, that feeling never changed, Cla.." said Arsen seriously. Not a single lie was seen there.

"Although it's been foolish to leave everything without saying goodbye" he continued. "Do you still have the same feelings for me as Naufal said?" ask Arsen seriously.

Cla looked at Arsen tensely, until he swallowed his saliva with great difficulty. I would like to answer that the feeling he has is still the same. But his tongue was again blocked by Arsen's gaze which pierced gently into the deepest recesses of the heart.

"I love you, Cla.." said Arsen seriously. "I love you until this moment... And that feeling is very hard for me to forget as long as we're apart." explained the driver.

Cla looked at Arsen's right and left eyes in turn. Tracing, and searching for the truth of Arsen's sentence. I don't want him to be disappointed the second time.

"Take care of me, Cla... Please!" arsen. "Do you still want me?" ask Arsen with a chest that deflated fireworks set the breath.

"Can..... can we be together from now on?"

The heart beats like it just ran a kilo meter when it asks for the last sentence.

"I'm..."

VIKK!!

"Cla! Why are you la.." silent for a moment. "Oh my God!"

Suddenly the main door of the toilet opened from the outside with a slight rough buzz. And along with that was also heard the voice of someone asking, but unresolved and it continues with a cry of surprise.

Two young people who were still in the same position, suddenly gasped and turned to the main door of the toilet. Cla was misbehaved and was afraid if anyone misunderstood immediately back his face. Pulling the face from Arsen's hand, until Arsen's hand was released.

Arsen himself let Cla's face slip from his hands, because he himself was worried if it turned out in the grubby people. Considering he entered the ladies' room without anyone's permission.

While someone who surprised the two young people who were seriously talking until this moment was still flabbergasted with their mouths wide open, also a pair of rounded eyes.

But when he finished his view and ascertained who was with Cla, the girl who was none other than Gwen smiled with satisfaction. It was as if he had a great surprise. Gwen smiled meaningfully, looking at Cla and Arsen in turn.

"All right! Continue, young man! I totally understand!" said Gwen who is not only her eyes and lips that sparkle. But also his heart was pounding. Especially when he saw Arsen's hand cupping the beautiful face of the friend.

"No problem! I gotcha! This afternoon, this room is for you!" gwen said with a meaningful smile. "I and Naufal will keep no woman from entering this toilet"! continued chuckling.

"Eh! But, Sen!" pekik Cla turned to Arsen. "If you can't carve good memories in the toilet, yes!" sindir Gwen chuckled amusedly.

"Gwen!" call Arsen a little stiff.

"BYE!" exclaiming Gwen immediately closed the main door of the toilet before Arsen successfully raised a protest.

***

Gwen returned to the table where there was Naufal and Victor with lips that could not help but smile.

In his heart he spoke. ' Sorry, Brother Victor! Looks like Cla is not the right target for you to pursue! '

"Where's Cla?" naufal asked, looking at the lover who returned alone.

Not immediately answering, Gwen again took a sitting position next to Naufal with lips that really could not help but smile.

"Where's Clarice? Why are you even smiling indistinctly like this?" naufal was surprised at his lover.

Smiling meaningfully, the girl glanced at Naufal and Victor in turn. While Victor himself is very much waiting for an answer from Gwen.

"Clarice can't be bothered for a while!" gwen replied with a full smile.

"Why?" ask Victor.

"Eum..." Gwen glanced at the lover she also did not know if Arsen was in Indonesia, and was meeting Cla in the toilet.

"What?" naufal asked impatiently.

"Cla's...." Gwen hung up her sentence. And it made the two men even more curious but also irritated that Gwen was not quick to answer.

"Yes!" chirp Naufal stared anxiously at the lover.

But the next second, before Gwen answered Naufal's question, a figure appeared who was being talked about from the back of Victor.

"Yes..." Gwen looked at Cla who appeared alone from the toilet hall with sparkling eyes.

All of them turned their heads towards the toilet hall, and immediately frowned. When looking at Cla who looks stiff and misbehaved.

"Cla?" call Naufal astonished.

Instead of Cla turning his head, another figure appeared behind Cla with a cold facial aura and no smile at all.

"Sh***ttt!" naufal exclaimed as he looked at the figure of Arsen who appeared from behind Cla and now stood beside the friend.

While Victor stares confusedly at Cla and Arsen. Considering he's the only person who doesn't know Arsen here.

"Who is he?" victor asked Gwen, who was constantly smiling at Cla and Arsen.

"He's been our friend since he was Senior High School" replied Gwen as she was. "Just he left 3.5 years ago."

"Then... What happened to Clarice? He seemed uncomfortable." asked Victor.

Instantly Gwen smiled clumsily. He was at a loss how to explain this to his elder brother. It all happened so suddenly. And did not expect it would meet at a time like this.

"You're really crazy, Sen!" naufal accidentally interrupted Gwen and Victor's conversation. He knew Gwen was confused.
