My Enemy, My Love
Enchanted

Today as usual once a month Gavin, Mandey and Brin will invite their families to visit orphanages and nursing homes to distribute clothes, food, toys and other basic necessities. If usually Chila will be lazy to come along but this time she is very excited because the orphanage visited is a place of memory with the Mama. His mother used to take him there until Chila got a close friend who is still his close friend until now.

When he arrived at the orphanage, Mandey had already arrived there. As usual, he took his wife and two children. Arlan and Audrey are about the same age as Chila. Brin, his wife and Ethan arrive. And as usual Gavin will be the latest to come if Chila comes along because she will linger in makeup.

Clara and Chila get out of the car together. Chila will wear a dress and her hair will be styled so beautiful, while Clara is simpler because as usual she will only wear a shirt and jeans. But the faces of both of them were both beautiful and shining. Clara is beautiful like her mother while Chila is more like Gavin. Both are beautiful with their own characteristics.

As usual, Arlan will approach the two brothers. 

“Hai my beautiful, good morning” with a smile.

“For kak” greet Chila is as friendly as ever and Clara also does the same even though her smile is not as bright as the sun.

Ethan glances lazily at the girl he can say he does not like it. The girl he called the Jutek.

“Chick jutek and stingy smile have come” muttered Ethan in heart.

The relief service began. Clara as always is reliable. He deftly distributed the parcels to the orphanage children.

“Chila can ask please get a blue parcel in the car?” clara asked her sister.

“Iya kak” replied Chila and headed straight for parking.

When distributing the toy parcels it turns out there is one child who has not been able to until he cried. In the car there is left one blue gift that Clara will actually give to the child of one of the workers at home. Clara thought that this child was crying better for the one at home to buy again later. But Chila instead took the wrong parcel, she took the parcel that should have been taken to a nursing home.

“Chila, you already said the blue” said Clara full of emphasis. Clara did not snap just the look in her eyes scared Chila away. Ethan who saw that came straight.

“No need to be angry like that, if you do not want to be wrong you should take it yourself” Ethan said defending Chila.

Clara sighed, she did not want to argue and squat down first to be on par with the little boy who had not been to the gift.

“Wait ya , brother get me kadonya” said Clara with a thin smile and then rushed to his car.

The child had already looked teary, Chila who was easily carried away was also crying. He squatted down and won the child over. Ethan who saw that was so fascinated by Chila who was so motherly. Very inversely proportional to Clara who judges.

Arlan patted Ethan's shoulder which was still enchanted by Chila.

“Have not long enchanted” said Arlan with a chuckle. Ethan glared his eyes and immediately left from there. Shortly after Ethan's departure, Clara came with a blue parcel for the little boy so he didn't cry anymore. The little boy thanked me and joined the other children.

After the event at the orphanage was over, they rested at one of the restaurants and had lunch together. There Ethan is again fascinated to see Chila who is so close to his Papa. He prepared a meal for his Papa and chatted like a father and son. Very different from Clara who chose to stay still and continue to enjoy eating.

“Clara, where do you plan to continue your study?” ask Vania, Mama Ethan.

“They three will continue their education at the same university dear” Brin, Papa Ethan replied.

“Mama” protests Ethan upset.

Vania just laughed in response to the protests of her son. Instead of caring about the ravings of his mother, Ethan chose to look at the face of Chila who was so shady and always smiling. Moreover, his effective attitude is very much like Ethan. It was so different from Clara that nothing she could do on her own. Every time I remember Clara somehow Ethan always wants to be angry.

Hem.

Arlan deliberately teases Ethan who from earlier looks so fascinated with Chila. Ethan looks at Chila and pretends to look the other way. And unfortunately his eyes stare accidentally with Clara, but Clara quickly turns her face away. Clara's usually cold, thin face looked different than usual. There were silent eyes in there and Ethan didn't know why.

….

Arlan and Clara sat by the lake and occasionally threw small stones into the green waterhole. Arlan's hands stretched out and grabbed Clara's shoulders.

“Why?” ask Arlan to Clara.

Clara just shook her head and smiled thinly.

Arlan took off his embrace and held both of Clara's shoulders.

“I know you very well Clara, don't lie” said Arlan in disbelief.

Clara breathed a heavy sigh.

“Why do I feel Papa doesn't love me?” clara asked with tears that were now welling up in her eyes. Clara raised her face so that the tears would not fall.

Arlan took Clara into his arms.

“That's just your feeling. I'm sure Om Gavin loves you equally” said Arlan soothingly.

Clara shook her head in Arlan's arms.

“No Ar. Papa never loved me. Every time I look at me somehow I feel Papa seems to be holding back anger. I seem to be just a burden to him. You won't understand what I feel Ar because your parents love you so much” said the teary Clara.

Arlan stroked Clara's shoulders. Arlan knew that now Clara only needed a place to get her heart out. Arlan was quiet and listening.

Ethan who was looking for Arlan's whereabouts scrunched his forehead because he saw Arlan was hugging Clara who seemed to be crying.

“Clara why yes? Why is she crying? Isn't she such a strong girl? Even when his mother died he did not cry” Ethan muttered in his heart. Ethan also undoes his intention to approach Arlan. Ethan thinks that he's there Clara will be embarrassed to cry so Ethan just goes from there.

Seriate...
