Clara glanced at her phone, she got a message from Damian who had sent some money into her account, Clara sighed and lay on the bed looking blankly at the sky of her room.
Clara thought, until when should she do all this? Everything is very burdensome mentally as well as physically.
Clara's phone rang again, a message came in from Josephine, Clara furrowed her eyebrows reading a message from her friend.
From : Josephine
Ra, after I stopped by the bookstore, I met Marvel Orlando. You know what really surprised me? He came up to me just to ask for your phone number! Since when do you know each other?
Clara is confused because she herself is not close to Marvel, after all, when in the bookstore also Clara and Marvel actually quarrel because of a book. The relationship between Clara and Marvel is neither good nor bad at all.
Why would Marvel ask Josephine for her number? Is there anything Marvel wants to say through messages? But if there's anything Marvel wants to say, won't Marvel be able to deliver it later on in their campus? Why you should also ask for all numbers.
Clara sighs feeling dizzy with all the thoughts in her head, Clara needs rest. He got up from his bed and chose to clean himself up first.
One corner of Damian's lips lifted into a grin when he saw a video sent by his man who Damian had ordered to follow his wife, Diana.
Sure enough, the operation and such are just excuses. Diana was right to re-cheat behind him for the umpteenth time.
Damian was disgusted and fed up with seeing all the betrayals Diana had committed, he felt sorry for ever falling in love and even regretted ever meeting Diana.
Damian thought what was lacking so Diana cheated like this? Damian has everything, a life of luxury, an athletic body, a handsome face, a beautiful face, even before Damian also gave his love then what makes Diana can glance at other men when beside him there is a man who is so perfect?
Damian put the phone back, he was lazy to continue watching the video even longer. He felt disgusted to see his wife's affair even though he himself also had an affair. But Damian wouldn't have been like this had Diana not betrayed him.
Damian glanced at his watch, his job was done but Damian was lazy to go home. Somehow Damian felt lazy to face Clara again.
Diana turns off her phone, she doesn't want any distractions like the phone coming in and stuff like that, Diana wants to focus on being alone with Thomas, her dark lover.
It was crazy, but Diana could not deny that Diana was happier with Thomas than with her husband Damian.
It is true that Diana cannot be separated from Damian because Damian is the source of the money, but Diana is also not separated from Thomas. Thomas was his love, Diana could not leave Thomas for Damian.
Diana chose to play behind instead of having to let go of one of them, Diana wanted to have both.
Say he's greedy, Diana doesn't care about being greedy, women don't know themselves, or anything like that. Diana only pursues her own happiness, a fool if anyone gets hurt by her.
“Hei Ana, the money in my account is running low. You should send again as soon as possible!”
Diana turned her gaze towards Thomas who had just walked out of the bathroom bare-chested, Diana smiled and nodded in response. Of course he would send money to Thomas again, whatever Thomas asked Diana would certainly give, provided Thomas continued to be by his side as his lover.
Marvel looked at his phone doubtfully, he was confused whether he should call Clara or not, he was already painstakingly asking Clara's number to the girlfriend, it feels useless if Marvel does not contact Clara but on the one hand also Marvel feel awkward and embarrassed.
Marvel Orlando, the youngest child of Sebastian Orlando, has long been heartened to a woman named Clara, it's just that Marvel is not a typical man who can just show his feelings.
Marvel was previously grateful to meet Clara at the bookstore, he had arranged words to invite her to a warm conversation, he said, even discussing the book they like but that came out of his lips at that time was exactly the opposite of what he really wanted to say.
Marvel condemned his stupidity, his weakness in dealing with people he liked. Why is it so hard to do what his heart wants, right? Why do his heart and lips never go together?
Marvel sighed heavily and pinched his temple, Marvel did not dare to contact Clara to simply apologize for her behavior in the bookstore before.
Cowardly, he really is a coward.
Marvel was standing right next to Clara's class, he was deliberately waiting for Clara to come out of the class to get the woman to talk, Marvel can't continue to be a coward right?
Marvel felt his chest, his heart racing due to nervousness. Clara's class is about to be over. In Marvel's heart he put together a word that he would have used to say hello to Clara.
Marvel is worried that he will look like a fool later, Marvel tightly grasps a book he wants to give Clara.
Marvel tries to control himself as some students and schoolgirls begin to scatter out of the classroom, Marvel straightens up as he watches Clara drop out of the classroom with her friends.
“Clara.” Sapa Marvel slowly but can stop the steps of Clara who was about to pass it.
Marvel could hear many pairs of eyes looking at them and began to whisper.
“Yes? You called me?” Clara stared confusedly at Marvel, Clara was more confused when the man suddenly handed her a book.
“Receive this book, this as my apology for being rude before him to you, I should have relented yesterday.”
Clara nodded in understanding, she never thought that a Marvel Orlando would do something like this. Clara wants to reject the book but Clara is not happy if she has to reject it, it will definitely embarrass Marvel not to mention the many people who pay attention to them.
Clara decided to accept the book, she smiled thankfully. “You shouldn't bother bother, I just wanted to buy her book today.”
Marvel smiled, scratching his neck slowly. “Sorry once again, I hope my previous behavior does not make you hate or do not want to be friends with me.”
Clara shook her head, how could she possibly dare to antagonize the campus star? If Clara was so there she could be hated by the entire population of the campus.
“Ah yes, thank you for the book but I have to leave soon.” Clara is not comfortable being near Marvel, not to mention all eyes looking at her curiously, it really makes Clara really feel uncomfortable.
“Oh. All right, see you later.”
Clara just nodded awkwardly before she left Marvel, and she felt like Marvel was weird. Why was the man suddenly friendly to him? Regretted? It all sounds weird to Clara.
“What exactly is your relationship with Marvel?” Josephine, who was right next to Clara, asked, since then she had been silent but Josephine this time wanted to know why her best friend was suddenly seen close to Marvel.
Clara turned to Josephine and shook her head, “We have nothing to do.”
Josephine clucked dissatisfied with Clara's answer, “It's weird that you guys don't have anything to do but Marvel can be that friendly to you. You also know for yourself that Marvel is the hardest man to approach on this campus?”
Josephine could only nod affirming Clara's words, how else. Josephine knows very well that Clara is not a typical woman who likes to be involved with men who invite gossip, especially Josephine also knows that Clara may still be a grudge to Marvel about scholarships.
“Tonight you can accompany me to go somewhere? Previously you have refused because of business I hope this time you will not give any more reason not to come with me.”
Clara just cleared her throat, refused even she could not bear because Clara had rarely gone along with Josephine. Previously hindered by his part-time job, yesterday because of Damian and now? Clara also had no reason to refuse her best friend's request.
“Where are we going?”
Instead of answering Josephine just blinked her eyes and smiled ignorant, “Look at it later tonight.”
Josephine's smile widened when she saw her father's car was waiting for her at the other end. “I came home first yes, My father has come. Do you still have class? If you don't come with us, my father will take you home.”
Clara shook her head, “No, I have to stop by somewhere first before coming home, you go home first. Be careful.” Clara waved her hand to Josephine who started to go far away leaving her, in Clara's heart feeling envious. Iri because Josephine could feel being picked up by her father while Clara herself, she never felt it.
Clara is confused when Josephine takes him, a candidate, forcing him to comply. Dressed in such a way and forced to wear beautiful clothes but never thought of Clara before to wear such an expensive dress.
Clara stared at her reflection in the mirror, not expecting her appearance to change drastically with just expensive makeup and clothes.
Clara glanced at Josephine who was still staring at her appearance from top to bottom, “Will you take me where so you have to dress up like this?”
Josephine smiled broadly, she slipped Clara's hair, “I'll take you to my cousin's birthday party, you're less of a socialite. It's time you enjoyed your life and had a good time.”
Clara was silent, exactly what Josephine said. It is less social. When was the last time he went to a friend's birthday party? Clara doesn't remember ever doing that because whenever anyone invited her Clara never came, Clara didn't have a nice dress.
Clara remembers that she wanted to borrow her brother's clothes but ended up beaten by her brother.
“Hey why are you daydreaming? You don't like me taking you to my cousin's show?” Josephine sighs heavily, “This is not a childish event really, my cousin celebrated her birthday along with her wedding anniversary celebration.”
Clara shook her head, “Not that I mean, I just feel awkward.”
“You don't need to be awkward or think of anything, just enjoy tonight.”
Clara nodded her head, smiling at her best friend.
Clara is happy, this time for tonight, Clara laughs at the couple's husband and wife who are joking jokes and being romantic in front of the invited guests.
Clara was left alone, Josephine was gathering with her extended family for a while. Clara is also not too concerned about her, Clara quite enjoy the events and dishes that exist.
Just now Clara wanted to take another drink because her previous drink was up, her movement was stopped when her arm was held back by someone.
Clara was shocked when she turned her head and found out that the person who stopped her was Marvel Orlando, the man again. But how did Marvel get here?
“Clara, I did not expect we would meet here.” Marvel smiled sweetly but Clara just felt awkward, “Who are you coming with here?”
Clara is excited, “A-I came with Josephine, happens to be the owner of this show her cousin.”
Marvel nodded his head in understanding, “Ah, If I come here with my Brother. Coincidentally my brother is a business partner of the owner of this event.”
Clara could only nod awkwardly, she did not know how to respond. He didn't even ask what it was but Marvel already explained it first.
“Clara.”
Clara's body stiffened, Clara panicked. He panicked not because of the call, if only the one who called him was Marvel or Josephine then Clara would not be this sweet.
But in fact it was not the voice of the two, Clara knew exactly who the voice was.
“Sorry to you who is it?”
Clara could hear that Marvel asked the man, Clara looked up her head, and sure enough. That man is Damian.
“Clara, come with me.” Damian violently pulls Clara's hand, Marvel is about to stop her but Damian is too fast. Marvel wants to follow where Damian took Clara away but again stopped because his brother who suddenly forced him to say hello to the owner of the show.
Damnit.
Clara grimaces in pain as Damian pushes her shoulder against the windshield.
Damian stared in disdain at Clara, “Oh so the money I gave you all this time was less so you peddled your body to someone else?!”
Clara shook her head quickly, “No, this is not all what you think. She's not who she is just a college friend with me.” Clara panics, Marvel is not who she is, don't play with Marvel behind Damian, just befriend Marvel Clara is not.
Damian grieving, “You think I believe? You only dare to sell your body to me then it is not impossible if you can also sell your body to others.” Damian rubbed his face rough, “It's up to you if you want to sell your body to someone else, but I wouldn't have to share it with anyone else. You can spend other people's money, I'll stop sending money to your account and also get out of my house, I can't see cheap and disgusting women wandering in front of my eyes.”
“Damian.. I swear I don't have any relationship with Marvel, I can't do that. Doing it with you alone has tortured me let alone having to do it with someone else again. I'm not that kind of woman.” Clara put her palms together, trying to persuade Damian to believe her. “How do I show you that I never did or intend to do it.”
Clara looked at Damian with a face full of tears, she noticed Damian who was silent but not long after that Damian pulled the corner of his lips to form a grin.
“Kneel.” Damian looked at Clara with a contemptuous look, “Kneel and beg then I will trust you.”
Clara flinched, she wanted to resist and screamed but she could not. He had no other choice, he still needed Damian.
Still with tears in her eyes Clara bent her legs, kneeling in front of Damian. “I'm sorry, I beg you to believe me. That I didn't do anything.”
Damian just smiled cynically at Clara's helplessness.
The two of them did not realize that not so far from them there was Marvel who watched the scene of their quarrel with question marks and shock.
What the hell is this really?
