Love In Longing
Ct. 69 (Memories )

Cla turned his head back to the lobby after lip-to-mouth with the lover. But the blonde girl he saw and said her lover was Lady Charlotte, was seen entering the elevator.

"Why is he back?"  cla asked who, because he did not look at Arsen. "Didn't he just come down and meet the man?" mumbling again.

"Is that important to him for you, honey?" ask Arsen.

"There!" sahut Cla fast.

"What?"

"I want to know how far he's trying to get close to you." Cla replied full of grin.

"Baby, please.." pinta Arsen pleaded with. "Let's not think of him, and don't think negatively of me and him."

"I'm not negative thinking, honey! I just want to get to know her." keukeh Cla with a smile full of grin that holds a mystery.

"When you know, what do you want?" ask Arsen.

"I want him to know that Arsenio Wilson already has a Brighta Clarice Agasta!" he smiled curiously.

"Oh my God." muttered Arsen a long sigh. "So she knew I had a boyfriend..."

"I'm not sure he believes it! Who told me to have a profile photo made like that!" said the girl insinuated Arsen's profile photo which is just a photo upgraded as a painting.

"So she doesn't know what I really am, does she?" ask Cla. "What if he doesn't believe you already have me?" cla asked her face to the lover, and it looked so spoiled.

"Now he knows, right?"

"Where are you from? The guy he's not here!'' the girl looked at the closed elevator.

Arsen only gave a small smile, without explaining to the lover if Lady had seen the two kissing, making out.

"You don't intend to introduce me to him?" ask Cla.

"By way?" ask Arsen. "Waiting him to have dinner with us tomorrow?" the Arsenic proposal is not serious.

"No! I would never invite him to any event!" cla even with his clenched hands stomping at the table. "Whatever girl likes you, I'll build a fortress as tall and as solid as the great wall of China!" he continued speaking with hands that moved to the right and to the left. Describe how big and sturdy the great wall of China is.

Arsen chuckled at the long words from the lover. His head shook slowly, so anxious with the lover who was plain and too childish in thinking.

"Let's finish your meal, honey! I think I need a break" Arsen said.

"Hm.. I think that's enough. We're going back to the apartment now!"

"Okay!"

The footsteps of the white girl with real blonde hair who had left the lobby stopped in front of a study table in the room with shades of white and blue.

Lady, the girl is standing in front of her study table. Staring at some small size photos in a circular shape and attached to the study table. As if he were learning.

Yep! Study pedestal! Because the photos are the reason for him to keep the spirit of learning. He studied psychology in New York.

Of the photos, there are at least three photos containing the same person. One photo when he and the person who is none other than Arsen was in one of the shopping centers and fun playing in the play area. The photo was taken during the beginning of his friendship with Arsen in the second semester.

One more photo was taken when they had lunch together at one of New York's famous restaurants, while the two were still sitting in the third semester.

That afternoon they just ate together, then continued by spending Friday night with other friends at the nightclub.

A moment that the Lady will never forget. Although it was the last time Arsen joined the nightclub.

The last photo was of them on a holiday trip to the beach, where they sat together on a bus. The photo was taken when they were in the final four semesters. The ridiculous behavior of an Arsen is clearly visible in this photo.

All the photos show Arsen's sincere smile and laughter without hesitation. And the third photo is the last moment where the girl can take photos together. Because after that, in the fifth semester, he seemed to no longer know the bloody young Indonesian who was familiar with it.

He no longer saw the side of Arsenio Wilson he knew in the early years of college. Arsen was no longer a warm young man to her. The laughter that was often thrown by the young man vanished with time.

From the lack of a smile in the fifth semester, then faded and now the Lady has never again seen that smile on Arsen's lips for him. All turned 180 degrees, for no apparent reason.

Various reasons were thrown by the young man to avoid him. Starting from getting busy on the two majors he took. Tired and lazy to leave the apartment on the weekend. And there are many more that can not be described by the blonde girl.

And the one that made Lady wonder was...

"Why haven't you ever allowed me to play in your apartment, Arsen?"

"What are you keeping from me?"

"And why have you been reluctant to visit my apartment?"

"I wanted to host you in my apartment... Just like any other friend..."

Wiry the girl along with a drop of tear-spear that fell and slid freely until it landed on her white wooden table.

"Everything feels short.it all feels so fast and very quickly you forget our togetherness..."

"Is he the reason you chose to leave Indonesia and refuse to return?"

"But in fact he's coming, Arsen... He's right in front of you..."

The girl muttered remembering what she saw before her eyes just a moment ago. Where Arsen looks so intimate kissing the girl next to him. As if unaware of its existence.

"All this is so painful, Arsen..."

Light brown eyeballs back in tears and the fur fell back to hit the back of his hand white and smooth.

"I love you... But, I have to leave you.." muttered the blonde girl rubbing the small photos attached to the table.

***

Meanwhile, the young man who was crying by a blonde girl was actually engrossed with the lover. Where both are confused to sleep with how.

Arsen asks Cla to sleep in the room and he is on the sofa. But the girl felt like she had to sleep outside alone.

Meanwhile, if you sleep together in the room, what if suddenly the retainers of the Adhitama Group appear in the apartment?

"Oh No.." - Cla groaned with his own anxiety.
