Reaching Hope
Chapter 23 Andre likes Clara?

"Hello, Honey. You'll be home soon, don't come down. I'll take you to your room, meet Andre, and I'll" Juan said on the phone.

"Yes, all right," Clara replied unwillingly to refute.

Actually he felt bad with other employees, Juan and Andre too much to worry about it. But considering Juan had banned him from working, he did not protest. Maybe later he will talk to his girlfriend, if the situation has begun to stabilize.

"Well, well, love is like getting picked up here. Though he usually rarely remembers his best friend," teased Andre, seeing Juan in his room.

"He just worked, where maybe I left him alone" Juan said.

"Have not squinted. I know you from childhood, but it's true how your temper is" said Andre, making Juan blush embarrassed.

"From a long time ago it was difficult to fall in love, the turn to fall in love for forgiveness," said Andre, then laughed out loud.

"Less aj*r, how dare to keep flirting yes," Juan said as he threw a sofa cushion at Andre. The one who was hit quickly dodged, so as not to hit it.

"Here, your queen will wait too long even among other men" said Andre, not satisfied with teasing Juan.

"Dare to throw me out now yes, watch out for you" Juan said grinningly, then passed from there.

"Let's go, baby, we're going home" Juan said as he looked at his girlfriend.

"Sister Bella, Clara came home first, sister," said Clara to Bella.

"Yes, be careful on the road huh." replied Bella kindly.

"How's that working, honey?" juan asked on the way home.

"It was hard at first, I almost gave up. But Bella's sister was very patient in teaching me, so I quickly understood." Clara's story was very enthusiastic.

"It's good that you are happy, hopefully other employees are also good to you, yes" replied Juan happy.

"Is Andre being nice to you, honey?" ask Juan again.

"Yes of course, Mr. Andre is very good. You seem very close, he knows you very well" replied Clara.

Juan smiled, he recalled his childhood with Andre. The man had since childhood always succumbed to him, always protecting him like his own brother. Although not born from the same womb, but both love each other. As they get older and busy, they rarely spend time together. But they still often call each other asking news.

"From childhood he was, he considered me his own brother. He's always been protecting me, Clara. But since we are now both busy, so rarely meet." Juan told his lover.

"We used to be both only children, before his little sister was born when he was 14. Maybe that's what brought us closer." Juan added.

"Oh well deserved," replied Clara briefly.

"Oh yeah baby, tomorrow I'll be out of town 2 days. Later the shuttle you work I ask help Andre yes, I have spoken to him" said Juan when he almost arrived at Clara's house.

"I don't feel good, Juan, I'm riding an angkot, yes" replied Clara pleading.

"What's? If you don't want to, I'd better buy you a car" Juan said.

"What?" clara asked, this time she was surprised.

"Juan don't do that, didn't you say you'd contract me and Cindy's brother a house near the office, later. I don't think 2 days of angkot will be a problem, Juan" Clara said.

"After I get home from Jakarta, we'll find a house. Just waiting for Cindy to work there too. Or am I telling the driver to take you and pick you up while I'm not around?" juan asked, making an offer.

"I'm actually asking Andre for help, because he's in your direction. Nor is there anything I trust most other than him," Juan explained.

"That's how it's gonna make me even more dear" Juan said as he pinched Clara's cheek, anxious.

Clara got out of the car. He waited until Juan's car disappeared from his sight, only to enter the house. After cleaning up, she joined the tv.

"Clara tell me how his office is? Is the job hard? What other employees are good to you?" ask Cindy, flocking Clara with a lot of questions.

"There are so many questions, sister," said Clara widened her eyes. Makes everything chuckle.

"The office is large up to 5 floors. All the core staff and high-ranking officials of the company are on the 5th floor, I'm also stationed there. If the work is initially very difficult in my opinion but if it has begun to be available, it is not difficult also Kak. So far all the employees and bosses have been good to me." Clara said, answering her questions one by one.

"Thank God, may you be at home there, Clara" said Jhony, full of sincerity.

"I heard Mr. Andre had all my family working there, he was very kind to Juan. Mr. Andre is funny." Clara's story.

"May no one do you any harm, for many may be jealous of you" Jhony said.

Suddenly Clara's phone rang.

"Kok not Juan, who's this no name?" ask Clara.

"Just accept Clara, it might be important" Cindy said.

"Yes, just lifting up might be important," Jhony said.

"Hello" said Clara.

"Clara it's me, Andre. Tomorrow I go to work, I'll pick you up. Juan asked me for help, because he had to be out of town for 2 days" Andre said.

"Oh Mr. Andre. Okay, Juan told me, sir" replied Clara.

"Yes, I'll see you tomorrow. Don't forget to keep my phone number, Clara" she said, then turned off the phone after Clara answered.

He suddenly smiled, remembering Clara's behavior all day. Remember the girl's innocence is really what it is.

"Oh no, why do I remember Clara. He's Juan's girlfriend, I can't do this" he said, feeling guilty. He immediately brushed off the shadow of Clara who was suddenly present in his mind.

***

The next day, as usual, everyone left for work first. Clara took the time to call Juan, now she is more willing to start first. Not just waiting for Juan to call first. Half 8 Andre came to pick up.

"For Mr Andre, are we leaving immediately?" clara asked, welcoming her boss.

Andre sees Clara's performance from the bottom up, he always looks attractive in his opinion. Clara wears a short-sleeved dress below the knee, with belt accessories wrapped around her slender waist. His hair was partly pinned back, the rest was just broken. It looks so fashionable and character.

"Eh yes, we just go right away yuk," said Andre after waking up from his daydream.

"Sorry to bother Mr. Andre, thank you for picking up too" Clara said on the way.

"Are there no other words but apologies and thank you Clara?" said Andre teasing Clara.

"Huh? What yes?" ask Clara so softly.

"Based on the innocent girl, hahaha.." said Andre, laughing, making Clara feel confused.

Andre feels Clara can make the atmosphere always feel cheerful. The cold juan of the refrigerator alone can change so, he thought. She must be a special girl.
