My Enemy, My Love
Iri

Finally Clara, Ethan and Arlan have graduated from their S1 education. Now the three of them are at the airport and are escorted by their families to continue their S2 education abroad. Clara looked at Arlan and Ethan in turn. He was so envious that both of their parents cried to let go of them while Gavin the Papa was mediocre. Only Chila who was crying while hugging herself did Clara know the reason. The spoiled Chila would be in trouble if left behind by him. All this time Clare is the alarm as well as their Mama's replacement. No wonder Chila is so dependent on her sister. With a long sigh, Clara kissed the back of her Papa's hand as well as Arlan and Ethan's parents. He then went in ahead of the others.

Arlan who realized it rushed after Clara, while Ethan was still looking at Chila's face that seemed to cry to let go of her brother.

“He was very kind, although Clara often scolded him but he still loved his sister” Ethan said in his heart.

Satisfied looking at Chila's face, Ethan also followed his two friends who had walked first. On the plane they sit according to seat number. It could have been a private jet or a business class plane, but all three parents wanted to teach them simplicity.

Ethan was sitting by the window, next to Clara and on the outside was Arlan. Ethan chose to look at the scenery out there rather than listen to the two people next to him who were chatting so intimately.

“From the first they always ignored me when they had talked” Ethan said in his heart. Ethan could see clearly from Arlan's eyes that he liked Clara so much.

“What does Arlan like about Clara huh? Is he not afraid later when married there will only be a quarrel because Clara's ego is so high?” mumbling anyway.

Instead of thinking about Clara and Arlan, Ethan chooses to listen to music and closes his eyes. The journey that takes up to 22 hours with two transits certainly makes them tired.

Ethan felt his head sleeping so comfortably and quietly. When he opened his eyes he was so surprised to have fallen asleep on Clara's shoulders, fortunately Clara was also asleep that he did not realize that Ethan had been slow to sleep on his shoulders.

Ethan confirmed his sleeping position and then resumed his sleep.

“Hopefully he didn't realize I was leaning on him” Ethan said in his heart.

After traveling for almost a day they had arrived at their destination country. By driving an Online Taxi they headed to the apartment they would live in three. Gavin has prepared everything and is certainly the best for all three.

During the week they had no activities, the three decided to take the time to take a walk. 

Indeed this is not the first time they set foot in this country but still they feel the need to walk around considering the next few years they will feel how heavy the world of education is.

The three friends immediately slept in their respective rooms after arriving at their apartments.

….

Ethan awakens after smelling the tasteful aroma of cooking. With the face of his pillow Ethan came out of his room towards the kitchen. There are already Arlan and Clara who are cooking together.

“You've shopped already?” ask Ethan. He just woke up but his two friends even had time to shop for kitchen needs.

Arlan nodded his head then went back to helping Clara cut the vegetables. Ethan sat down and watched the two lovers because he could not cook at all. Even to make hot water he can't. Because of being an only child she was greatly spoiled by her mother, but not by Brin. Brin is almost the same as Gavin in treating his son. Ethan held her hand, not since when Arlan liked Clara so much. Clara's attitude toward Arlan is the same as Ethan's. It's just that Arlan's effort is bigger so at least Clara can still smile knots when talking to him.

“It's ready” said Arlan while serving steak on the dining table.

“Because you didn't help cooking then finished your meal washing everything” Arlan's statement was undeniable.

“Iya ya” replied Ethan potluck. If he was just washing the dishes, he could.

“Basic overload” mutters Ethan in heart. Ethan puts the steak in his mouth.

Waw.

Ethan clucked in his heart.

“It turns out the smart attachments masak” praise Ethan in heart. Ethan accidentally doesn't praise Clara's cooking for not wanting her to be big-headed.

“Clara your cooking is so good. I so do not worry about hunger during college here” praise Arlan sincerely.

Clara only smiled faintly then continued eating it.

“What a reaction it is. Is it hard to say thank you for being praised?” dumel Ethan in the heart.

“She's too stiff. It sucks” he continued in the heart.

Ethan ate the steak until it was gone unceasingly by continuing to grumble in the heart. Of course nagging Clara's attitude that is too ketus according to him.

After eating half-heartedly, Ethan washes the dishes and all the cooking utensils that were used. Ethan seems troubled when washing the pan and also teflon which contains stubborn stains. Because Clara did not have the heart to help Ethan wash the equipment even without saying a word.

“Actually what kind of trauma did she experience that made her this stiff?” ethan with his hands still busy rinsing the laundry while his eyes fixed on the face of Clara who was rubbing the pan. There was no smile on that face. His mouth was tightly locked as if he was reluctant to make a sound.

….

Day after day passed, they had been living together for a month and everything was safe. This morning Clara is seen preparing breakfast at the dinner table. Omelets and sandwiches and orange juice. He looks rushed. Ethan, who had just woken up, was astonished. Without saying a word Clara went straight into her room. Ethan just shook his head and immediately ate his breakfast.

Clara was out of her room with her hair half wet. This is the first time Ethan saw Clara growling her hair. Usually if at home Clara will curl her hair original while when to campus she will pigtail her hair horse. Although how the look of her hair Clara always looks beautiful. But now that her hair is done, Ethan realizes that Clara is really beautiful. Ethan is hypnotized for a while, then pretends to continue his breakfast.

“Ethan, I'm home tonight. You guys eat first” said Clara then rush out of the apartment. Ethan doesn't even have time to answer Clara.

Arlan who just came out of the room immediately approached Ethan.

“Clara where?” mandatory questions if he doesn't see Clara.

“Have left” replied Ethan cuek. “Says he came home tonight” he continued.

Arlan nodded his head understanding.
