Love In Longing
Ct. 32 (Who Is This Blonde Girl? )

After Arsen's return from the Kenzo Adhitama family's lavish and grand residence, Cla returns to her room, without seeing her parents again. Because Daddy Ken and Mommy Cal were out of place when he re-entered the mansion.

And now time is getting late. After flushing her body under a warm shower and dressing her body in a nightgown, Cla grabbed Arsen's cell phone which he used tonight.

There is a smile that cannot be lost every time you remember what happened today. Every second, from the moment he saw Arsen's handsome face in the toilet, until finally a kiss landed on his lips, it would never be forgotten.

All of that really becomes a ruler in Cla's memory. And today, this date will never escape in the memory of the girl.

Moreover, now see the phone layered with a black case belonging to the young man is in his grasp.

Of course, there is a sense of pride that he cannot express with words because he is trusted by a man who is loved to play as he pleases his cellphone.

A sense of desire is realized, love is reciprocated and a new story will be lived. In return for his patience to wait this long.

Enter the code that Arsen intended, which is the date today. Where did Cla start thinking...

"What does that mean this code signifies...our anniversary?" cla gumam.

Smiling with an unstoppable thump, "You're so funny.." he continued chuckling with anxiety. "When did he replace it?" muttered Cla while entering 6 codes that are the date of today.

Then open the phone lock screen and show the main screen of the Arsen phone. The first thing that caught the attention of Cla was of course the wallpaper used by Arsen.

Cla's throat was blocked when he saw the photo attached as Arsen's phone wallpaper. It never occurred to me, if the Arsen wallpaper was that photo.

Cla's body froze on his bed for a while. Wondering since when Arsen used this photo as his phone screen?

Since getting to know Arsen, only this time Cla has the opportunity to freely hold Arsen's phone.

A photo taken by Arsen about 6 years ago. The photo was their first shot at the racecourse when for the first time he saw Arsen go down as a champion.

The photo together, where both look still very plain with a natural face without hair color and skin care of any kind.

The photo, is a photo that once made himself with an older brother involved in problems in the cafeteria and made all three enter the BK room two days before the midterms of 1st grade X.

Cla smiled softly, recalling his school days filled with colorful teen world. Exciting emotions and still childish nature.

He gently rubbed his innocent face and Arsen's face that had already looked handsome since long ago.

"I didn't expect him to still keep this photo on his latest phone..."

Cla muttered as she turned to the wall on her study table. Where there is also attached the same photo that has been printed and made lined with other photos.

It's just that the photo has been attached since they were still sitting on the bench of Senior High School. Which means he deliberately put it up as the most beautiful memories.

"Aren't we supposed to have a picture of the two of us for now?" cla muttered back to look at Arsen's phone screen. "So there's no need to post our old photos..."

Calm down with a faint smile while staring at Arsen's phone, the phone suddenly shook, and a line of numbers with foreign codes entered into Arsen's chat application.

Cla frowned, as he briefly read the incoming message and looked at the top screen of the phone screen. A chat message written in English.

(Consider it English text... )

*arsen? Are you all right? From yesterday I didn't see you on campus. Shouldn't you be working on the Informatics thesis?*

Cla frowned. There is something strange about the number that is not stored and also the question that is asked. It is impossible for just anyone to send such a chat message.

Not long after, the phone vibrated again. And the number resurfaces with a message that makes Cla's heart start racing.

*Are you coming back to Indonesia? What business is there to come home suddenly? Didn't you say you wanted to stay away from your country and everything that was there?*

"Who is he?" cla asked at a glance at the profile photo that appeared was a blonde girl. "It seems to know Arsen well enough!"

Impatiently, Cla immediately looked for Arsen's chat application and the anonymous number was in the top row.

The previous message has not been opened by Cla, but it has been entered again a follow-up message that makes Cla want to feel like asking for an explanation on Arsen, right now.

"When you have time to.." cla muttered through the message that was under that nameless number. The message was disconnected, and it had to be opened to the number bar to see its continuation. But. It will make the blonde girl know if the message has been opened.

"What is the continuation of this message?" cla gumam. "I'm so glad I opened it!" his grunts with a roaring chest.

Before opening the message, Cla opens the profile picture first. Want to see more clearly the girl who sent a chat message to her lover.

If you see from the chat that has been read, obviously this girl is not just any girl around Arsen in New York.

Long and straight blonde girl emblazoned with a beautiful face typical of western countries. Caucasian white make clear the origin of the owner of the number.

"It's not Arsen's girlfriend over there, is it?" cla muttered very much now also called his number and asked Arsen for an explanation about this blonde girl.

"Why is there no name? Deliberately removed so as not to be caught by me or how?" his grunts began to have a bit of prejudice.

"Is this a secret that Arsen meant?" Cla was getting angry. Jealousy began to scrape whatever was inside his chest.

Breath even began to stir along with hands that almost trembled with annoyance. Never had a relationship before. Of course the fear of loss and disappointment was still very much in his heart. And even he himself does not know how to control mutual trust with a partner.

And yet nothing, the reality in plain sight was already like this. There was already someone who made him suspicious in the land of Uncle Sam there, where the lover studied. Arsen will be back there.

So what about him if he can't monitor Arsen there?

A little bit of that is in the mind of the beautiful girl who is now starting to grow older, but still too innocent.

"Be careful, if he's lying to me!" cla's wrath pissed off Arsen's phone.

If it were an object that broke easily, it would have been broken and destroyed. Or if it was squishy, it would no longer be shaped.

"Arsen says I can do anything with his phone, right?" cla muttered thinking. "That means I can open a chat message that's inside this phone!" continued grinning.
