Rapa & Cleona: Keeping the Heart
56. Missed

"You're looking for a return.”

“Hah!”

Laughing, Burma feels funny to see the beautiful girl's face. “Gue want to take the road.” Burma smiled, and it succeeded in making Clara fascinated for a while, before then re-awakening herself while cursing herself in the heart.

“Where?”

“Ikut aja, later also you know."

“Ish, Burma. Tell me where you want to take me,” whine Clara.

“Ke pelaminan.” Said Burma with a light smile.

“Ish, Burma!” annoyed Clara, couldn't bear to scratch off her handsome face.

Burma laughs amusedly. “Cute yes, baby. Later you will know.”

Clara's face warmed up and was able to make sure that her cheeks were red at this time. Ah, not only his face, but also with his heart that for four years was quiet and cold, but now the unusual pounding back he felt.

“You ready first, or like this?” the Burmese word awakens Clara from her reverie.

“Eh, tu-wait I change first is okay ‘kan?” ask Clara in a stammer. Burma nodded with her handsome smile.

“Don't keep smiling dong, Bang, adek not strong!” clara's heart screams.

“Wait for you to get ready for nothing, will not make me die, because you wait to be my girlfriend again for four years just do not make me tired.”

Without saying anything more, Clara ran small towards her room. No longer able to withstand the great pounding on his chest due to the words of Burma that made his guilt back up and the longing that rushes out of the defense that he always press to hide.

Fifteen minutes later, Clara returned to Burma, where her father was chatting. Seeing the familiarity of the two men made the corner of Clara's lips lifted, and in her heart she hoped that Burma was indeed the one God had destined for her.

“Udah ready, Deck? Immediately go gih, later to the afternoon hunt,” Pandu said as soon as he realized the presence of his daughter.

“Dad ngusir Atu?” Clara pouted as if completely hurt by the father's words, making Pandu roll his eyes lazy.

“The fruit fell not far from the tree. Mom's daughter both love drama.” Cibir Pandu in heart.

“Be careful what it goes. Remember not to go home too late! Burma, take good care of your daughter, little blisters, you bear the consequences!” threaten Pandu sharp.

Burma smiled then nodded, then shook the back of Pandu's hand while saying goodbye. Clara followed behind with her head lowered, thinking about what she should say to Burma, so that the man would return to be her lover.

“Auhhh!” and so busy with his own thoughts that made Clara hit a hard object in front of him, which is none other than the back of Burma.

“Means if the road looks ahead, not even nduk.” Burma chuckles amusedly, then opens the car door and asks Clara to come in.

After being behind the steering wheel, Burma immediately drove his car out of the yard of the Clara family home. From the start of the car he was driving, Burma repeatedly turned towards Clara who continued to look at the window next to him, there was no sign that the girl would invite him to talk.

“Hm,” without a single look, Clara replied with just deheman.

“Why, how, now you're so quiet? Mind being invited to walk with me?” ask Burma who has been curious since.

“Not that, I just feel awkward and embarrassed,” honest Clara, turned a moment towards Burma, then back to throw the view. Can't stand it if you have to linger staring at the handsome face that he missed

“Tumben you got shy? Usually also shy.”

“Ish, Burma!”

Burma chuckled amusedly hearing the whimpering of the girl beside him. He misses the spoiled behavior of his lover first, he misses all the behavior of Clara, and he misses their togetherness first.

“Lo when to go home?” Clara asked as the atmosphere turned silent. Actually his heart is still beating. But silence makes her even more nervous and silence is not what Clara likes. So he ventured to start a conversation.

“Where to go?” birma asked, raising her eyebrows and looking at the ignorant Clara.

“Back from Yogya.” Clara pinched her lips.

“Gue guess go home to your heart. You see, if that's the case, I never leave, so where might I go home as between hearts is always settled.”

Clara was unable to say anymore, other than because her face was now warming, her heart was also warming and her heartbeat could not be conditioned, he said, made Clara afraid that Burma could hear the sound of her heart beating in there.

He admitted that Burma was still the only man capable of making it this way. The first man who can make him ashamed with just his gaze alone, and Burma is the only man who managed to melt his heart that has long been determined not to fall in love, but because of Burma, he had to retract those words.

“Down yuk, we've arrived,” said Burma broke Clara's mind.

Staring around, Clara raised her brow in confusion. “Ngapain to here?” Clara asked when she saw that Burma had taken her to a crowded playground.

“Why? Don't like? Then we look for tem..”

“Bu-- isn't it. I like it, but confused about what we're doing here? Play time prostotan kayak the children,” said Clara pointed ahead there.

“No harm ‘kan? Counting on childhood memories, Cla." Said the Burmese chuckling small.

“Ya has come down,” invite Clara with a cheerful face, and saunter away first leaving Burma in a car that shook his head.

Looking at the girl up ahead, Burmese lips pulled up forming a smile. Didn't expect that he would come back to see that beautiful face smiling wide and loose like this. And seeing the girl among the children in the playground, made Clara look not much different from those who were no more than seven years old. Even Clara seemed to have no shame in playing with them even though many people were paying attention.

Fifteen minutes later, Clara returned and sat down beside the Burmese who greeted her with a smile, also a bottle of mineral water that closed first the man opened and immediately wiped the sweat that poured on his temple. Making Clara freeze with that simple, yet sweet treatment.

“Ma--thank.” Clara said clumsily, and in reply to Burma with a small nod.

“Cape?” birma asked as soon as she finished wiping Clara's sweat.

“More cape soak miss origin lo know.”
