The Love I Don't Miss
Part 124 (Clarice's Outpouring of Heart)

Clarice displayed a board bearing the nominal prize money of Arsen's race earlier on her study table at Papa Zio's house. I don't know, he's confused why he should keep all that. But in order to appreciate people's gifts, Cla also put the object in a decent place.

After being confused about the problem of laying the board, now the teenage girl with finances that never felt difficult, was again confused by the 2 million money that was also given by Arsen to him.

If she belongs to the class of girls who lack money, the, it's certainly nice not to be given 2 million money for free by a rich friend who will certainly never ask for the money back.

But he himself had already felt enough with what he had. So that there he felt bad about receiving the money. Because after all 2 million are also included very much for the size of teenagers like them.

The white envelope he placed on the study table. He looked at the nanar. He was confused where to put the money. In drawer? Or in his account? it feels impossible.

The wall clock has shown at 10 pm more, but the girl does not necessarily want to sleep immediately. The main light of his room was still brightly lit. Until a knock on the door of his room sounded.

Clarice, who had already locked the door, finally stood up and opened the door of her room, to see who was looking for her these nights. But he could already guess who was looking for him in the middle of the night.

"Hi, Cla!" greet Felia who was already standing in the doorway.

"Hi, Fel! come inside!" invite Clarice to ask her half-brother to enter her favorite Flamingo room.

"Hmmm..." Clarice laid her body down casually on top of her bed.

"We're spending the night this week watching a drama we've never seen!" said Felia who immediately took the TV remote belonging to Clarice.

"Of course!" sahut Clarice enthusiast.

After Felia turned on the TV and chose a Korean drama they had never seen before through the youtube TV channel, she joined her body beside Clarice.

Clarice frowned when she saw the lyrical year of the film seen on screen.

"2013?" ask Clarice..

"Yes! tonight we watch the old-school movie by Oppa Lee Min Hoo." replied Felia with a sweet smile.

Clarice chuckled at Felia's behavior, "It's Okay! it's up to you! the important thing is that he looks good!"

"Haha!" both of them chuckle together.

Having the same hobbies, both of them will never get tired of spending a Sunday night with a drakor marathon as usual, if Cla stays at Papa Zio's house. After all, tomorrow there is no need to rush to get up early because of school.

"Emang exciting?" cla asked when the screen began to show the action of the Oppa playing surfing.

"Based on netizen judgment, yes! haha!" gelak Felia who chose drakor based on what he watched in the Tik Tok application.

"OKay! Oppa Lee Min Hoo has been very handsome since he was young!" clarice muttered.

"Yes! you're right!" sahut Felia's.

Both are now focused on a 32-inch television screen attached to the wall of Clarice's room.

This is how teenagers are today. They can easily watch the movies they want. Both old-school and latest movies, with just a few presses and touches. Moreover, the facilities in their rooms are complete as the facilities of the entire house.

Without feeling two episodes of drama has been played, but both seem not sleepy, even though the time has passed from 12 pm. Until Felia's eyes accidentally caught something on Clarice's desk when she was relaxing her neck to the right and to the left.

The girl remembered very well, if the board was a board that was obtained by the racer with a jaura last afternoon. His name was just discovered this afternoon. Didn't expect that board would actually be given to Clarice.

Then his eyes also caught something on the table. A white envelope. It is definitely the money from the prize with the nominal listed on the board.

' Are you guys dating? '

Felia murmured in the heart. Own dreams. I want to ask, but I also doubt.

"What race have you won, Cla?" asked Felia pretended not to know if it was a gift obtained by a young man who thought Felia was very handsome, even more handsome than Naufal Mahardhika.

Clarice turned her head to the board at her study table at a glance. Then he looked back at the TV screen, before he answered Felia's question.

"So Naufal apparently ngajak I went to watch a wild race in the stadium area" he replied. "Eh, it turns out that was playing my classmate! new boy, his name is Arsen!" continued. "I don't think he won that race. And get that gift!" clarice replied glancing back at the signboard of cash using her eye tail.

"Then why is it on you? Can't he take the board home? Then ask you to bring it?" asked Felia with a little original guess which she herself was sure must be wrong.

"Not really! He purposely gave me that gift! even the money was given to me." replied Clarice casually. "Say he won that race last month."

"So you mean he's the defending champion?" asked Felia pretending not to know.

Because he also felt bad, if he said that in fact he was also at the location when the race was taking place. Because he obviously didn't say hello to Clarice there just now.

"He said yes, but I don't know. Just this time I was invited by Naufal to watch a wild race!" honest answer.

That's Clarice. Girls who don't like to make up stories. Moreover, he considers Felia is a brother and friend of the story. It's only natural that he told Felia what she was. Especially their teenage lives.

"Egh!" Felia cleared her throat trying to kidnap further. "If you are given a gift that is certainly difficult to get, it means you are special, right?" asked Felia glanced at Clarice.

"Special how?" cla asked her frown. "Every day he bothers me. There's..just the work and the reason to disturb me!"

"Em.. maybe he likes you.." muttered Felia trying to guess again. "So he'd rather bother you, to get your attention."

Clarice took a deep breath, hearing Felia's true conjecture as well. But all this time as strong as his heart he tepis. Because he was not sure about the young man he had known for two months.

"I don't know either, Fel.." she replied later.

"Yes, logically, if he doesn't feel like you, there's no way he'll give you the gift he can by risking his life for free."

Clarice seemed to think again. Reweighing the words of Felia that are indeed in the sense of quite reasonable. But doubts about Arsen still persist. Because it's still the same thing. Something that Cla had revealed at the time.

Especially lately Carren seems to be getting close to Arsen. Because Carren's bench is now moving right in front of Arsen. They often talk to both indirectly.

Clarice has been stalking Arsen and Vino for a long time. I wondered if the two were as interested as Carren, just like the other male students.

But Carren seems to have more respect for Arsen. Maybe because the young man besides handsome, also because the idol in school. So it would be very proud to win the heart of the poet.

Clarice and all the girls in the class realize that Carren is the flower of the class. Her beauty and elegance are truly unmatched in the X-3 class.

"I suspect that Arsen likes the most beautiful girl in my class!" answer Clarice.

"Who?"

"Name Carrenina Louis! she's beautiful, white, and German, but her face is more innocuous."

Felia nodded her head in understanding, "But what I do know is that not all men see a girl just in terms of her beauty, Cla!" answered Felia comfortingly.

"Oh, huh?" asked Clarice who seemed to not believe Felia's explanation.

"Yes..."

"But I've never felt a male friend approach me all this time" Clarice replied. "You know, from Junior High until now, only Naufal has been my most loyal friend. And he was the only man close to me." continued Clarice.

"Not close.he's a new kid. Two months at school. But who approached him, beh! so much! " answered Clarice a little. "For now, Arsen is the school's prima donna! that's why I doubt if anyone says he likes me!"

"Why doubt?"

"Yes, because there are many rivals!"

Felia nodded back, "So he's a new kid?"

"Yes!" answer Clarice. "A few days ago even my upperclassman named Zuria, had a fight with his own friend. For approaching the same man, Arsenio Wilson!" clarice replied that she was caught off guard by the fact that Arsen was an idol at her school.

"Means the level is no longer a class! but it's a school!"

"Yes, you're right! it is! that's why I doubt!"

"It's cool!" felia Mumbles.

"If you knew his face, you might also be attracted to him. And I consider that perfectly normal! Because in reality he is very handsome and charming. Especially he's a coal businessman's son. I also heard that he has a private jet!"

"What!" pekik Felia increasingly shriveled her guts to get to know a rich figure like Arsen.

"Yes!" clarice. "But he's not as arrogant as a rich kid usually is. He never even mentioned the genealogy, or the rich family background!" continued Cla. "Maybe 2 million is possible for Arsen only a few coins!"

"But 2 million of my pocket money for 3 weeks!" felia Mumbles.

Clarice smiled. Because he also got the same pocket money as Felia. The difference he got from Daddy Kenzo is multiplied from that.

"If Papa's pocket money is lacking, don't hesitate to ask me for help!"

"No! that's enough for me, Cla! even every month I can still save!"

"You are so smart!" praise Clarice.

"Do you have a picture of Arsen?" asked Felia who pretended she had never seen Arsen's face.

"You just follow IG. Just type in Arsenio Wilson!" answer Clarice. "But IG is in privacy! so you should be patient waiting for confirmation from her!"

Felia nodded and immediately grabbed her phone to open her IG account. He named it Arsenio Wilson.

"You're right, IG's in privacy!" felia.

"Here, look at my phone first!"

Clarice opened her phone and opened her IG. And the first thing he saw was a notification on the symbol of love, where it turns out Arsen had tagged his account for a picture.

Clarice immediately opened the notification. And immediately appeared a photo of himself with Arsen who was taken this afternoon by Naufal. And it was Arsen's favorite photo posted by the young man.

"Surely he has posted this photo!" murmured Clarice looked at her first photo that was only alone with Arsen.

"No, right!" said Felia who took a peek at Clarice's phone screen. "If he doesn't feel like you, it can't be that fast as he posts your photos. At the most it will only be made into WA story only!" continued Felia who was increasingly convinced, if Arsen did like his half-brother.

"Come away!" cuek Clarice does not want to make herself complicated, by competing with the many girls who idolize the figure of Arsen. "It's a look, it's handsome, isn't it?"

"Yes." replied Felia who actually already knows what the face of the racer.

"I'm lazy to fight with the girls chasing after him!" clarice muttered, letting Felia hold her phone to see Arsen's various posts on social media.

"Especially with him posting the photo, one school and all its followers will know, if he is the defending champion in the racecourse this afternoon! surely there will be more and more idolizing. It feels so bad to be close to a guy who has a lot of fans!" continued Clarice.

"Aren't you supposed to be proud, Cla?"

"Why proud?"

"Because of the many girls who are chasing after him, he is just approaching you. And look! all of her posts only contained her one, or with a few male friends only. And you're the only girl friend on the list."

Clarice stared at the screen of her phone, which was still in Felia's hands.

"Are you, should you be proud of that?"

"Of course, Clarice" Felia replied as she returned Clarice's phone. "that means you're a lucky girl. For being chosen out of the tens or even hundreds and thousands of girls who pursue him, or idolize him!"

"But I'm not sure if he really likes me!" clarice replied, staring back at the TV screen that had arrived in episode 3.

"Basically you are, stubborn!"

"If he liked me, what would happen?" ask Clarice. "I don't dare break Mommy's rules! Mommy strictly forbids for her children to date at school age!" answer's lethargic. "Mainly me! my only daughter!" his gerrick.

"Hemm.." let out a heavy sigh, this time Felia also felt lethargic. "Our fate is the same, Cla. We have to be together for almost three years!" felia's mumble covered her face with a pillow.

"Haha!" clarice's laughter saw Felia's behavior. "You think it's that heavy, huh, Fel?"

"It's not heavy anymore, Cla! but torturing!" the answer. "Friends every Sunday night picked up their girlfriends. While you're always picked up by singles!"

"Haha! never mind, it's okay! what matters is that we obey their rules! I'm sure my Papa, Mama, Daddy and Mommy must have had a good reason why we shouldn't be dating."

"Yes, I think so too!" felia answered opening the pillow she used to cover her pretty face.

***

Two of Papa Zio's girls spend the night watching Drakor until three in the morning. Both of them fell asleep with the TV still on. Yeah, Felia fell asleep in Clarice's Flamingo room. That's what they often do.

Occasionally, Clarice falls asleep in Felia's room. Because watching drakor in Felia's room.

At half-four in the morning, Mama Zahra suddenly woke up, to check on Zhian and Zefa's room next to Felia's. The two children slept in the same room. One room with two beds and two bedroom supplies, such as a cupboard and study table. And all in the form based on their respective characters.

The two can not be separated, although often quarrel and scramble whatever it is, until the heads of both parents seem to sometimes want to break.

As she passed in front of Clarice's room to Zhian's room in front of Cal's, Mama Zahra heard the sound of the TV still on. Made Mama Zahra frown, and sharpened her hearing.

"Clarice hasn't slept?" he murmured as he approached the door to Cla's room.

By attaching her earlobe to the door leaf of Clarice's room, now the stepmother is sure, if Cla has not slept. So he opened the door to Clarice's room very slowly, after one little knock was fruitless.

Namu who saw Mama Zahra was a sight that he often saw. The two daughters were sleeping in a room with the TV still on.

Sighing deeply with a smile, Mama Zahra turned off the TV, then approached her two daughters to kiss them one by one.

Then Mama Zahra came out of Clarice's Flamingo room.
