Love In Longing
Ct. 85 (I Need You! )

In the morning, Arsen had to go back to campus. After last night's hot kiss ended with a laugh that made both of them end up sleeping like the first night Cla came in the young man's apartment.

Cla slept in the room with a thick blanket wrapped around her body. Arsen was sleeping on the living room sofa with another thick blanket.

That's because what? Because Cla's phone next to Arsen's laptop suddenly rang with the Daddy's name appearing there. Which makes both of them auto jump from the mini bar area.

And now, the young man is dressed casually, jeans, short-sleeved shirt wrapped in a light blue jacket that makes his face look shining on this sunny morning.

"You're handsome, it's worth it Lady's hard to blink when she sees you..." muttered Cla who is now standing in front of the lover who has been standing behind the main door of the apartment and ready to go out leaving the lover back alone in the room that is not too big.

Arsen smiled flatly, "Why do you always mention Lady and Lady by name?" ask Arsen relax. "When I only always say your name." he continued to approach and reach for the slender waist to hug him. "Hm?"

"Because you're handsome and she's beautiful! It could be you guys are the prima donna of college!" he smiled jokingly, but a little of what he said was representative of the jealousy stored in the heart.

"But my prima donna is you." replied Arsen staring fixedly at Cla, until the girl wrapped in a knee-length dress with long arms was blushed and misbehaved.

Smile, "Yes already, go there! I will always be faithful waiting for you to come home." said Cla gave a brief kiss on the young man's lips.

Arsen was silent and only had a small smile on his back when his lips were so briefly kissed.

"I don't want to be that short." muttered the young man.

"Then?"

Arsen immediately brought his face closer and went back to repeating what they had done many times during Cla's time in his apartment.

"I'm leaving first, baby! Hye!" pamit Arsen ended his cheering session this morning.

"Bye! Love you!"

"Love you too!" cla followed Arsen out of the apartment.

And wait until the young man disappeared behind a pair of closed elevator doors simultaneously.

After Arsen disappears from view, Cla goes back inside the apartment. And what he did first was to find his phone and call a mobile number that often also communicate online with him.

In the phone line...

"Hello, Cla?"

"Gwen? What are?" cla asked in a slightly hasty tone.

"Just came home from the family dinner." replied Gwen as she climbed the stairs of her house. "What's wrong?"

"After this busy no?"

"No.." replied Gwen casually. "What the hell is it?"

"I need you, my bestie!" cla Sumringah.

***

An hour since Cla contacted Gwen, the girl is standing in front of the makeup mirror in Arsen's room. There's not much makeup on Arsen's dresser. Because men are not as detailed as women who must have this and that on the table or in the drawer of the dressing table.

Her long blonde hair is made wavy with a hair vise that she bought yesterday. Cla did buy a lot of his necessities suddenly. All missions went well.

And all the groceries that reach almost 1,000 dollars or equivalent of almost 16 million is certainly paid by the lover who has promised to meet all the needs of Cla while in New York.

And for Arsen himself, that kind of money won't make it difficult. Because the monthly money he received from his father reached 3 to 4 times that every month. Because living in New York does require a lot of money.

And Arsen is among the young people who have not spent too much so far. So it would not be wrong if his savings exceeded his age friends.

Finished with her hair, Cla stared at her reflection through the mirror before her eyes. He still wears the same clothes. Knee-length dress with long sleeves covering her white arms.

"Perfects!" cla murmured that it was enough with her appearance that morning.

With a confident step, Cla grabbed the phone on the mini bar table, then walked out and left Arsen's apartment with a small slanted smile that was somehow meaningless.

***

The elevator doors opened again, and with the same steps, Cla walked by staring at one door to the other. His facial expression looked ordinary, but there was a thump that he did not want to show at this moment.

There are four doors on the floor that Clarice is currently injuring. Each door has its own number. And finally Cla found the number he was looking for.

Smiling, Cla was satisfied with Gwen's work. The girl is quite deft in the world of coding and programming. Until he can find the door of the apartment which is inhabited by a beautiful student who also works as a fashion magazine model.

Before pressing the bell, Cla peered into a small peephole in the door with her toes on. But unfortunately, the hole looks dark because it is closed from the inside.

So what he did was... The right hand closed the small peephole, while the left hand pressed the bell on the wall of the left side of the door.

One press, there was no reaction. Press twice, the result is the same. After pressing the bell a third time, the door opened slowly.

"Hi!" greet Cla with a smile and a friendly cheerful face.

But what Cla got was. The girl in front of him seemed to freeze with eyes that seemed to not believe in his appearance on his doorstep. And it made him speechless as he observed the figure from head to toe, and back up.

"A.ka.kamu..kamu...?"

"Clarice.." said Cla. "Forgot my name?" cla asked smiling. "I still remember your name, Lady." continued Cla still with a sweet smile.

"Well..." Lady smiled clumsily. "I'm sorry.your name is hard enough to remember, Clarice." replied the Lady.

"Yes, I know." replied Cla smiling.

"I only remember if you were Arsen's lover." said Lady looks quite stiff when calling herself Arsen's lover.

Smile, "Thank you, at least you still remember me!" answer Cla. "Emmm... Can I come in?" cla asked permission very well to the girl who had made him inferior in the heart.

' She always looks beautiful and charming! '

Cla murmured inwardly when the two were silent to each other, when Lady seemed to forget about him.

"Oh. please." replied Lady gave way for Cla to get into her apartment.

"Thank you!"

Stepping slowly, the eyes of Cla observed the apartment with a size that is not much different from the apartment in Arsen.

Only different nuances, because the design is more girly than Arsen's apartment is more manly.

"You live alone?" cla asked looking back, where Lady followed in her footsteps.

"Emm.." Lady nodded. "I'm alone." she replied. "Sit down, what do you want to drink?"

"Oh, no need!" cla replies, preventing the Lady from entering the pantry room. "I just want to get closer to you..."

Smiling sweetly, though it still looks very stiff. "For this reason, to have a better friendship, I will not allow my guests to be thirsty." replied the Lady taking two cans of fizzy drink.

"I don't drink that." said Cla.

"Huh?" pekik Lady's. "Then?"

"White water only!" cla answered walking closer and took his own drinking water from his place.

"Oh.. okay..."

"I'm bored in my own apartment. Arsen has left for college, and usually goes home at night." said Cla, bringing a drink glass to look at every photo that was displayed by the Lady on the wall, as well as on the nightstand.

The lady nodded with a stiff smile. He has absolutely no idea what he should do. Because he didn't think Cla was smart enough to start the conversation.

"It's Arsen?" cla pointed at one of the photos.
