Love In Longing
Ct. 53 (Jealous )
Victor Yaala, a graduate student who is currently pursuing his S-2 degree, sits pensively at the cafeteria table. Staring at the back of the beautiful girl he knew was only a small possibility to be pursued.
Because he was directly reprimanded and warned by the girl's lover.
But the heart that is difficult to fall in love is a bit disappointed, when he feels he has found a suitable one, it ends in this way.
' I heard they're LDR... But it looks easy... '
The young man muttered in his heart.
' It seems Arsen is smart enough! I really can't get past the protection Clarice gave me. As if my science as a Hacker is so useless as to just find the point of Clarice's location! '
Victor continued to dream, until he ignored some students who greeted him as usual. That is, the student who used to seek the attention of seniors who became idols on the campus.

The time that continues to run, and the endless busyness in this final semester, makes a couple who are in a LDR do not realize if two months have both lived a love story without meeting.
Cla sat on the balcony of his room, when it was late, at 10pm on Sunday night. Where in New York it's still Saturday at 9am.
Because of Sunday night, Cla chose to make the night longer by communicating with the lover via telephone. Although neither can nor even have the two spent a week's night together since becoming lovers, making the girl choose this way.
The bluetooth headset was attached to Arsen's left ear, and the young man was in the middle with Marvin and several other college friends in the cafe lobby of the apartment he lived in.
Chat in a phone line, using Indonesian. While the chat Arsen and his friends think it uses English.
"Sleep, Honey... It's night." said Arsen, enjoying coffee on the table, but his eyes were constantly checking the tasks through the laptop screen in front of him.
"I want to accompany you to spend the morning there." replied Cla refused orders with beautiful shadows if they spend the weekend together.
"Not tired?" ask Arsen.
"No.." answered Cla.
"What about your thesis?"
"Until this moment a good mash." replied Cla sparkling. "You don't have to worry! There were mistakes, but they were all really good!" cla replied excitedly. "The lecturer was pretty good to me! Either because my thesis is good, or because he was a friend of Daddy's when he was Senior High School! Haha!" cla giggled to himself.
"Familiar friend?"
"Not really... It's just that the Lecturer said that he had been helped by Daddy when he was in school!"
"Oh..." Arsen nodded.
"Is there anyone who's been with you?" search Cla. In the heart does not want a woman who is joined with the lover.
"Marvin and the others.. Baby.." replied Arsen while checking the graphics on the laptop screen.
"What do you say when you're together like this?" cla asked curiously. "Definitely exciting!"
"What call? They are all average gesrek creatures who try to move nature alone to become students." gelak Arsen glanced at his friends one by one.
"Damnihih!" Kikik Cla from there.
While the friends in the lyrics by the young man were actually engrossed in chatting each. Because it does not know what Arsen is talking about through the voice call.
None of them are from Indonesia. I don't know what Arsen is talking about. I don't know if Arsen and Cla are laughing at them.
All they know is that Arsen is talking to his girlfriend. And Arsen's giggling is precisely assumed if Arsen is exchanging jokes with his lover.
"Hi!" yell someone from behind Arsen.
Arsen did not look at someone who clearly said the voice was greeting them. Even though he knows and memorizes who the owner of this voice is.
"Hi, Lady!" Marvin answered the Lady's greeting.
"Hi, Vin!" Lady waved at Marvin and some other male friends who were there. And all returned his greetings except...
"Hi, Arsen!" greet the Lady who was already standing beside Arsen.
"Hmm.." replied Arsen flatly with a slight nod without turning to the source of the voice greeting him.
"May I sit here with you?" lady asked pointing at the empty seat to the left of Arsen.
"Just sit! Why ask?" marvin sat in front of Arsen. "Didn't we hang out here a lot?" abugn.
"Thank you!" lady said as she sat on the left side of Arsen.
"You're still very busy, Sen?" ask Lady.
"Hmmm.." Arsen nodded with his fingers occasionally pressing on the keyboard.
Arsen shook his head slowly. "I'm different from you." replied Arsen.
"Yes, too." muttered Lady later.
"Lady, last night why didn't you come to club 88?" ask one of Arsen's friends.
"I have business..."
"Even so!"
"Next night?" ask Lady.
"Yes! Don't forget to come!" marvin Sahut. "If you can, take her. He had also never come since returning from his country!" he continued pointing at Arsen with eye movements.
"That's all!" arsenic Protest. "When is your birthday, forgot?"
"Oh, yes!" kikik Marvin's.
"Why didn't you come last night, Sen?"
"There's business..."
Even though Arsen seemed indifferent, it was still different from what Cla thought. Relationship distance is quite far, two months did not meet, in addition to Cla who has just lived a love story, of course all feels so annoying for the girl.
Cla is not good at positive thinking. He is still filled with insecurity, and also sometimes selfish without being aware. Suspicious and feeling betrayed as if alternately approaching the mind and heart of the girl. Especially if Arsen doesn't return the message.
Occasionally what the girl thought was that Arsen was alone with another lady when he slept at night. Because when he sleeps, it's midday. Where Arsen must be on the move outside the apartment.
"What are you doing?" cla asked, he had lost his smile. "It seems very exciting." quipped Cla with a tone of voice that can be guessed by Arsen what the girl's expression.
"Nothing is exciting." replied Arsen. "They were just discussing an event last night that I didn't participate in. The birthday of one of our friends was held two nights in a row."
"Why is it the same with the Lady who didn't come?" investigate Cla, because a dirty thought really got into his head.
"It's just a coincidence, honey... I also just found out that he didn't come last night!"
"Related?" ask Cla ketus.
"Of course, honey! I always try to be honest with you... Where can I lie." replied Arsen while putting a little pressure in the chest.
"Show will you do tonight?"
"They are, not me, Baby." replied Arsen began to feel the lover will burn with jealous fire.
Lady immediately turned to Arsen, when she was able to estimate what Arsen was talking about through the headset in Arsen's left ear.
Before, she was silent, because she did not know what Arsen was talking about. Because he can't use Indonesian. But the name Baby pinned makes the blonde girl know if Arsen is talking to his lover.
"Surely it won't come?" ask Cla.
"You know? Now, just gather with friends like this I bring a laptop to complete my task. So why would I waste time going to a nightclub with them?" tanya Arsen opened up the logic of the lover who was in complete darkness by jealousy.
"It could be that now you're chasing to finish, so that tonight you can come!" cla said very scowling. And that was clearly heard by Arsen.
Negative thinking, that's what rules that innocent girl.
"Baby, please.." pinta Arsen begged slightly, she could not hear a pouting voice like this.
"What's up, Arsen?" asked Lady turned to Arsen and looked closely at the man who actually could not just forget even though he knew Arsen already had a lover.
TUT!
One second after Lady asked, the phone connection broke unilaterally. And it was Cla who purposely ended their conversation.
"Oh my God.." lirih Arsen sounded quite heartbreaking while opening the phone that had no longer raised the sign of the incoming call from -e.
"Why, Sen?" ask Marvin.
"Nothing!" arsen replied flat even a little bit tart.
"If there's any story, Sen.." said the Lady tried to touch Arsen's shoulder. But quickly tepis by the man with a movement that quite stomps his feelings.
"No need.." replied Arsen while packing his things. "I'm back first. There's important business!" pamit Arsen moved from his seat.
"Sen?" Lady tries to prevent Arsen's departure. But the young man was not interested in just looking back.
Then the Lady could only sigh long and sad because it was always rejected by Arsen. The man who walked to the apartment elevator.
