Reaching Hope
Chapter 28 Accompanying Andre

Work time has passed, all employees are preparing to go home. Andre approached Clara in his room, then left together as agreed this morning. They went to Tunjungan Plaza Mall to find a gift for Andre's younger sister.

"Clara we eat first yes, I'm already hungry," said Andre while holding his stomach which had been singing to fill.

"Alright," said Clara agreeing.

"What do you want to eat?" ask Andre.

"Madura fried duck, it seems delicious," Clara replied, holding back her saliva.

"Wah don't expect girls like you to like fatty ones either huh, hehehe," Andre said half-temptingly.

"What's the matter, sir?" clara was confused.

"Usually the woman is afraid of her body becoming fat if she eats cholesterol, so" explained Andre.

"really? But my sister and I ate anything, never picky. Except not according to the tongue, as European foods do" Clara replied.

"That means you guys are special. Come on, I love to eat ducks, too" Andre said.

They chose the menu, then dined cheerfully. According to them Madura ducks are second to none. When Clara's prayer time came, Andre waited patiently. It appears he is calling Juan to inform him.

"You have to give me priceless gifts, because I've taken good care of your lover" Andre joked.

"All right, what do you want?" juan asked seriously.

"What's so precious to you besides your parents?" andre began to ponder.

"What's? Yes of course, Clara," replied Juan without hesitation.

"Yes, that means Clara you just give it to me" said Andre laughing mischievously.

"Kill me first, if that's what you want, you gil*" replied Juan annoyed.

Andre laughed happily, he was happy to see Juan angry. He was so happy to tease his best friend. But they both knew it was a joke. From a distance he saw Clara had returned.

"Clara, Juan wants to talk to you" Andre said, giving him his phone.

"Yes, Juan," replied Clara.

"After you've finished going straight home, don't want Andre to go again," said Juan coldly, as if being jealous.

"Yes, yes Juan" replied Clara.

"Yes I'm gone first, I'll call you later tonight" said Clara, then hung up after hearing Juan's reply.

"Your love is so jealous yeah, it seems like she really loves you, Clara," Andre said seriously.

"Yes that's how Juan is," replied Clara smiling happily.

"Let's walk, do you think we'll buy my sister what?" ask Andre.

"Many choices sir, can give you a bag, shoes, clothes, watch or make up can also," replied Clara gave advice.

"Well what a watch is, he loves a watch. Let's go find it." said Andre, then pulled Clara's hand in search of the watch shop.

"Eh that's Clara, please choose yes. I looked over there yeah," said Andre.

Clara looked through the front window. Beautiful, making her confused. When he was busy choosing accidentally he saw a figure he knew.

"Eh that, looks like Jhony. Just who is it," said Clara looking at the back.

"Clara, why are you sneaking around like that?" andre's question surprised him.

"Sir Andre..it's okay, it was like I saw my friend," he said softly as he circulated his gaze throughout the room. It turned out that Jhony was gone, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"There are friends reprimanded dong, who even hide," said Andre who did not understand.

"Have gone, let's find it again, sir" said Clara, pulling Andre's hand.

Andre just shut up, he said wherever Clara took him. His heart was suddenly racing faster, suddenly finding it hard to breathe. Clara showed her choice, a beautiful clock in the form of a small gold circle with a chain like a bracelet. But Andre stayed, looking at Clara. Until Clara touched his shoulder to resuscitate him.

"Sir Andre why? Is it sick?" clara asked, then reflexively held the man's forehead.

"Not hot. But it's a bit sweaty, but it's cold in here" said Clara again felt strange.

"Ehm I'm fine, Clara. Maybe just the sauce. Oh this is yes, yes this is good. I pay you to wait here, yes" replied Andre slightly misbehaved.

"Well," Clara replied a little confused, as the man had not seen his choice but had already agreed immediately.

After paying, they rushed home. On the way home the atmosphere was quieter than usual, Andre was still unable to calm his heart. He cursed himself, why have a taste like this for his best friend's lover. He was afraid of khilaf. He feels very comfortable with Clara. Girls are simple but can always make the atmosphere special. I don't think they have arrived.

"Clara, wait," stop Andre, when Clara is about to get out of the car.

"Yes sir, what's wrong?" ask Clara.

"Please accept this, as a thank you for accompanying me," Andre said as he handed me a shopping bag.

"What'sthis? Don't be, I'm willing to help. You have helped me a lot, not worth what I did" replied Clara, refusing to give Andre.

"Well, if you don't accept my gift, I don't want to go home. I'll be here until you accept it" Andre threatened.

"Why did you become like Juan. I like to threaten people. All right, I accept," said Clara, she finally relented.

"Well that's it, Clara," said Andre smiling triumphantly.

"From tomorrow it can not be close to you anymore, your handler has come. Hahaha," said Andre, making Clara laugh as well.

"Daddy want to stop by?" ask Clara politely.

"I'll just go home, see you tomorrow, Clara." replied Andre then passed.

Clara rushed into the house.

"Just got home, Clara?" ask Cindy when she sees Clara coming.

"He, Brother, it went with Mr. Andre first. Looking for her sister's birthday gift." replied Clara.

"Kok Kak has come home, he said he wants to go with Kak Bima?" ask Clara.

"Well, just for a minute. He was busy catching up with his college so he could graduate quickly" Cindy explained.

"Oh..it seems like she really changed for Brother's sake," Clara said again.

"Yes, I wish it was like that" Cindy replied with a smile.

"I hope we can both feel happiness, sister," said Clara, then embrace Cindy.

"Amin" replied Cindy, returning her sister's embrace.
