It's been a week since that night, the night Clara kissed Daniel in front of Dave's eyes..Since that incident, Clara and Daniel have not met or rather Clara avoided Daniel because she was embarrassed, whether what she thought that night to the point that she kissed Daniel and admitted him as a lover.
"Aisssh, what a shame!" those words were always coming out of Clara's mouth every time she remembered the events of that night. But sometimes his cheeks blush when he remembers Daniel's words if he can use the man at any time.
"What does that mean?"
"Did he like me?"
"No way!"
But today it seems Clara can not avoid Daniel because Zea invited him to attend a new menu launching event at Sam's restaurant and can be sure Daniel is there.
And sure enough, not only Daniel, even Dave also hosted an event held at one of Sam's restaurants. The apparent awkwardness between Dave and Clara, they are not even as welcoming as usual and make Zea feel strange, why his two best friends seem to avoid each other .
While Daniel realizes that Clara has been avoiding him since that night, Clara also never replies to the message Daniel sent. Daniel decides to meet Clara after the show is over.
The event went smoothly, many visitors liked the breakfast menu that Daniel made, because not only the overseas breakfast menu, Daniel also includes Indonesian breakfast such as chicken porridge, and also has a delicious breakfast, nasi uduk and ketupat vegetable of course with a little modification so that the menus look different from those sold elsewhere. Not a few of the visitors who feel they fit the menu, they even help promote on their social media accounts.
After the show is over, Sam and Daniel invite guests to taste their new menu. Zea is busy picking out a few menus while Clara chooses Tacos because she also likes them a lot.
"What is Ra?" asked Zea while looking at the contents of Clara's plate.
"Taco" replied Clara with a smile, he deliberately did not eat breakfast at home in order to eat Taco made by Daniel.
"Is it good?" Zea started to wonder.
"It's really good, I've tried it and it feels addictive" Clara replied unknowingly.
"Have you tried it? When?" search Zea with a questionable look.
"Eh that, what. Hm. I mean I've eaten somewhere else and it tastes good, so I think it's going to be good too" Clara replied, maybe she's like that.
"Oh," Zea pretended to believe because it seemed Clara had not been willing to tell the truth.
Finished tasting the new menu, Clara quit home because she felt uncomfortable being in the same place with Dave. Seeing Clara leave Dave immediately chasing Clara, it was not separated from Zea's attention, the pregnant woman came out because she was sure something happened between the two of them.
"Wait Ra!" said Dave was holding Clara.
Clara stopped her steps then turned around so they faced each other. "What's up Dave?" ask Clara lazy.
"Are you avoiding me?"
Clara rolled her eyes lazily. "Yes, is there a problem?" answer Clara blatantly.
"But why Ra? What's wrong?"
"You're not wrong Dav, I just feel awkward being around you right now! You shouldn't have known from the start that I liked you, but you asked me and told me to stop liking you. Do you think after that I can act normal? No Dave, I can't!" Clara answered him in a high voice, she was very upset to remember the incident that night where Dave asked her to stop liking him.
Dave ruffled his hair violently, he also felt guilty towards Clara for the incident. "Does that mean we can't be friends anymore?" ask with a sad face.
Zea, who had eavesdropped on their conversation, approached her two best friends. He felt the need to interfere because it concerned the relationship they had established since childhood.
"What's the matter exactly? Why are you guys like this?" asked Zea while looking at her two best friends in anticipation.
"Ask your friend" said Dave, pointing at Clara with his chin.
"Explain what's going on Ra?" Zea looked at Clara while waiting for the answer to what came out of her best friend's mouth.
Clara sighed harshly. "Somewhere Dave knew I liked him, he suddenly came to my house and told me to forget how I felt. And today he's angry that I avoided him Ze. He's a very selfish man!" clara answered honestly.
"Is that so Dave?" ask Zea to make sure.
Dave nodded slowly. "But I just told him to stop liking me, not avoid me!"
Zea finally understood the problems between her two best friends. That's why Zea chose to be quiet even though she knew that Dave was harboring feelings for her. Zea didn't want something like this to happen.
"Give Clara Dave time, she avoids you not because she hates you, she just feels awkward!"
"Aawkwardly? Why should she feel awkward while she already has a lover? Or is he just your outburst, Ra?"
"I was even willing even if only made an impingement by Clara!"
Everyone turned their heads and was surprised to see Daniel suddenly coming and embracing Clara in front of Dave and Zea. "I don't mean to interfere, but as a man your attitude has gone too far Dave!" daniel said with sharp eyes.
"You saying this?" daniel's reply didn't take.
"Clara didn't even express her feelings for you, you shouldn't have to ask Clara about her feelings. It should be before you act that you should think about Clara's feelings and the fate of your friendship. But what you did was just the opposite. You hurt Clara's pride as a woman!"
"It's Dan, let's go," Clara tried to break up, the girl held Daniel's arm trembling. Daniel then looked at Clara's hand briefly and grasped it tightly. Without saying goodbye Daniel pulls Clara's hand slowly and leaves the two men still glued to their place.
After being quite far away from Dave and Zea, Clara forcibly took her hand off. Daniel looked and looked.
"Thank you for helping me out, but please don't be too nice to me. I don't want to misunderstand all your kindness Dan" said Clara with teary eyes.
"Then I don't mind if you misunderstand!"
"Please Daniel!"
Daniel again grabbed Clara's hand and grabbed it. "Don't I say use me whenever you want!"
"No Dan, I don't want to expect more from you. About my debt, I'll pay it off soon, but after this let's just say we're strangers!" yes Clara chose to stay away from Daniel because she did not want to feel heartbreak again, she did not want to like Daniel someday. He was afraid that Daniel would only consider him a friend. Clara then turned around and left Daniel, his determination was already unanimous. He'll forget his feelings for Dave without anyone's help.
"I like you!!"
SERIATE...
