Reaching Hope
Chapter 34 Misunderstanding

"Clara, in front there's Dika. He wants to see you," said Ms. Dina as she arrived home.

Waiting on the porch. His heart was pounding, he had not seen the girl of his dreams for a long time.

"Eh Dika, how are you? Tumben's here, what's up?" clara asked in surprise.

"Thank God, I met your mother on the street. He told me you were coming but the afternoon was home, so I rushed here. I'm sorry to visit early in the morning" Dika explained showing her sweet smile with her teeth grinding.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, I miss you so much. How are you doing, Clara?" tanya looked at the beautiful girl in front of her.

"Thank God I'm good, now you work or go to school, brother?" ask Clara.

"Actually they want to work to help father's business, but they told them to go to school. They want me to enter the Military Academy like my brother." Dika explained.

"Oh, good," said Clara briefly.

"You're getting prettier, Clara," praised Dika.

"Ah usual, Dika," Clara replied blushing.

Suddenly Dika held Clara's hand, making the girl misbehave. He tried to let go of the man's grasp, but it turned out to be quite strong.

"Clara, I know you rejected me, but I can't forget you. It used to be your reason for still wanting to go to school, I could understand it. Now do you want to be my lover?" dika asked, making Clara immediately take off her hand violently.

Actually Clara did not want to hurt Dika, but anyway she never loved the man. Especially now that there is Juan in his life, he does not want another man anymore.

"Sorry Dika, I can't" replied Clara Lirih.

They did not realize that Juan was there, watching them. Juan sees the man holding Clara's hand, and Clara doesn't turn him down. He saw them looking at each other, his chest rumbling, his heart so sore. He chooses to return to Jhony's house, before learning of Clara's rejection.

"Jhony, does Clara have a boyfriend here?" juan asked withstanding emotions, his eyes reddened.

"Nothing, why?" jhony asked confused by Juan's attitude.

"Who was the man with her in her house?" ask Juan.

"Huh? Let me see for a moment." replied Jhony and went to Clara's house.

In front of the terrace he saw Clara talking to Dika, a man who had loved Clara for a long time. But Clara never accepted it, because it did not have the same taste as the man. He felt Juan had misunderstood. She heard Clara reject the man again. He also passed with a disappointed face.

"Why is he here, Clara?" ask Jhony.

"As always, John. I wonder why he won't give up, when we haven't seen each other in a long time. I have repeatedly refused" said Clara.

"Yes his name is love to die with you" replied Jhony chuckled.

"Eh Juan again lashed, just saw you in his hands the same Dika. He wants to go to your house, finally he's back." Jhony told me.

"What's? He must have misunderstood. Let's go there, Jhon," take Clara.

"Darling, are you awake?" ask Clara.

Juan was silent and did not respond. Clara smiled, she was anxious to see her lover angry. He pretended to be careless as well to tease Juan.

"Darling you took a shower, yeah, that's abis to my house. We eat together, mom cooks my favorite food, you have to try" Clara said, smiling.

"I'll be here, I'll interrupt" replied Juan ketus.

"Lazy shower, just go and accompany the man. There's no need to care about me" Juan replied, sulking.

"Right, tell me to go? Do you regret it later?" clara asked deliberately to make Juan even more upset.

"Yes, just go there" said Juan turning his face away.

"Darling, don't sulk dong. He is just a friend, so if you see do not half-do not misunderstand," said Clara very gently.

Juan did not respond.

"The man's name is Dika. She has repeatedly asked me to be her lover, but I have always refused. I never had any feelings for him." explains Clara.

"But you were silent when he held your hand" said Juan, still pitched.

"Who said, so if you look not half. I brushed his hand away, but it looks like you've gone again" said Clara, remaining patient.

"You should have rebuked me, let me introduce you. So that he doesn't expect me anymore, instead go and sulk, honey," Clara said fondly.

"Is that really how it happened?" juan asked, still jealous.

"Yes, Honey. Jhony also saw. She knew long ago that she liked me, but I never responded." explains Clara.

"Don't ever leave me, baby. I can't live without you" said Juan, rubbing Clara's cheek tenderly.

"God willing, I will always be with you." replied Clara steadily.

After breakfast they visit Bu Tini, Juan brings fruit to Bu Tini. He could only lie down, they looked at the woman with pity. Jhony immediately brought his mother to control. Actually Juan had offered to drive to the Hospital, but Jhony chose to take a taxi. He didn't want to trouble Juan.

Juan and Clara toured the village briefly, enjoying the clean atmosphere of the village and away from air pollution. They had crossed paths with Dika while walking around, Dika was immediately struck mentally saw Clara walking with a rich man who was very handsome. He could only look at them from a distance.

"Mom, sir, let's say yes. God willing if there's time we'll go home" said Clara, her eyes starting to glaze over.

"Same mother I take care of health, do not be too tired" said Cindy no less sad.

"Yes son, you guys be careful there huh. Take care of yourself, mom and dad always pray for you," said Ms. Dina, tear-filled eyes soaked her slightly wrinkled cheeks at the age meal.

"Yes, ma'am," Cindy and Clara answered compactly.

They embrace, sobs are heard filling the room that is not too big. The atmosphere immediately turned blue.

"Son Juan, pick them up. They are young, please be directed if they make a mistake" said Ms. Dina seriously.

"I entrust them to Nak Juan, because Jhony now still has to take care of his mother here. I bless them with whatever their choice is, as long as it leads to kindness and makes them happy" he said.

"Mother take it easy, God willing I will not disappoint my mother's trust. Oh yes, this is a little for the education of their sisters, yes, Mom. Please accept" Juan said, giving a very thick envelope.

"No need, son, no. They've already given mom money," declined Bu Dina subtly.

"Please don't refuse, ma'am. My mother and family are my own family" Juan said.

Dina's mother looked at her two children, they nodded as a sign of acceptance.

During the trip they use rest. They are immersed in each other's thoughts. Juan felt that Clara's family or Jhony was very warm, there was envy in his heart. Why isn't his family like them?
