Clarice's words that call herself a spoiled child, indirectly make Arsen feel very uncomfortable and dislike. Since childhood, he hated that nickname. Because he felt absolutely not spoiled. Since childhood, he has always tried to do it himself.
If you can say, living with grandma and grandpa is the most comfortable residence ever occupied by grandchildren. Because a married couple who got the nickname always pamper their grandchildren more than their own biological parents. Never angry, nor ever resisting the wishes of his grandchildren, let alone blaming what the grandchildren do.
Sometimes they blame others or other children if their grandchildren cry or make mistakes.
And that's why sometimes many traits and attitudes of children that ultimately become incompatible with the expectations of parents when there should be Grandpa and Grandma who interfere in the way parents educate their children.
But Arsen the boy and his brother are always trying to solve their own brand problems.The two do have their respective delinquencies that are not always the same and can not be equated. But the two always try to solve the problem without bringing their Grandpa and Grandma.
So when someone calls himself a spoiled child, it feels like something is scratched in his little heart. Something was being deliberately sent.
Only this time he said he was Clarice, the girl he was chasing after, the beautiful girl he was trying to open his heart to himself. When freedom is gained by the girl. Who knows when it will come.
Even when he wants to be angry, he can't. But he has another way to express if he does not like to be called a spoiled child without explaining why, why and why.
"Listen to that, I love you..."
Who would have thought that the emphasis of the word Darling whispered Arsen is a way for Arsen to say if he does not like being called a spoiled child, without the need to look angry or hateful.
Clarice looked at Arsen's back with a very strange feeling. Indeed, he does not like if there is a man who dares to call himself by the nickname dear. Because I feel so intimidated. Ta[i this time, I don't know.
Tau the young man no longer turned to him, Clarice was confused what to do. It felt so shameful to walk near Arsen.
Taking a deep breath and letting her slow down was the best way for Clarice to neutralize her nervous self when she felt Arsen's breathing in her ears and neck.
Arsen again lowered his foot into the pool 1 meter deep, while Cla was still frozen in place.
' Why is Arsen's way always different from other young people...? '
Ask Cla in my heart.
' I used to idolize Naufal, and now I admire Vino. I never thought of idolizing this young man. Why is he always different? '
Clarice again sighed long while throwing away the view of the young man who indeed had his own charm.
' No, Cla! Stop your stupid thoughts! '
His grunt.
"So or not?" a baritone voice rang out Clarice from the daydream.
"Well!" peekik Clarice turned to Arsen.
"So train me again or not?" rework Arsen.
"Yes!" clarice replied flat amid the lingering nervousness. "I'll take the stopwatch!" he ran towards the dressing room building.
Inevitably the girl had to let go of all the nervousness she felt because of Arsen. With a slow step the girl again approached Arsen who now began to lower his body into the water slowly.
Amidst the nervousness, Cla was quite relieved when he saw Arsen was willing to enter the pool without coercion from him.
' I'm sure your trauma will soon be gone, Sen! And I won't call you with a spoiled child anymore! '
Cla muttered in his heart.
"Come on! hurry down.." said Arsen looking up at Clarice who was still standing by the pool.
"Yes yes, spoiled child!"
"You deliberately teased me, honey?" tanya Arsen smiled obliquely.
' Duuuhhh! release! '
Clarice inwardly smacked her head slowly. Then down to the pool following the way Arsen got into the pool. That is by sitting on the edge of the pool first, lower your legs and then put his body into the navel-high water.
"You did deliberately call me a spoiled child, because you like me to call you darling, right?" arsen asked as Cla landed beside him.
"Don't worry about you, yeah!" clarice's toilet snapped a little.
"If so, I don't have a problem. I don't mind calling you darling wherever we are." said Arsen staring at the girl with a gaze that pierced the girl's deepest recesses. "It is with pleasure that I will call you... Dear."
"Don't dream!" clarice's spray denies everything to do with feelings and hearts towards the young man.
"Or if need be I'll call you Baby... Honey.. or Blondie.." said Arsen with a seductive smile.
"ARSEN!" clarice shouted right in front of Arsen's face.He was very uncomfortable to hear Blondie's call that he knew the call was very sexy abroad there.
And Arsen chuckled with his own jokes. Which he could see if Clarice had misbehaved with what she said.
"Continue laughing! And I'm gonna drag your feet in there!" Cla pointed at the pool 200 cm.
"Peace up! I still want to live!" sahut Arsen immediately brandished the two fingers of his right hand, and stared regretfully at Clarice.
"We started like that!" clarice. There are still sharp tones in his sentence due to annoyance at Arsen earlier.
"Hemm." replied Arsen as he arranged his heart, mind and breath. His eyes were avoiding the deep pool.
"One..two.three!"
So what was taught by Cla was re-taught by Arsen. Repeated and repeated until countless times Arsen repeated this one chapter of learning. Clarice does not get tired of encouraging and the ways Arsen can do to release the memory.
Two young men in the pool. Among the two teenagers who faced different situations, There was a Sun that kept spinning. There is a time that goes on. There is also a moment to end.
And there are also feelings that are not realized, by both...
"3 minutes!! YEEAAAYY!!!" clarice shouted as Arsen managed to stay underwater for three minutes.
Unknowingly, the girl jumped up to hug Arsen. So happy what he taught was successful, Cla hugged the young man he thought was a land crocodile with joy.
Moreover, Arsen who managed to dare without holding on to the iron pipe returned Clarice's embrace. So happy he was not aware if they were hugging in the pool.
Laughing happily, as if he had just gotten a jack pot.
Cuddle with the opposite sex? Ordinary thing!
In this day and age, men and women, especially close friends, may be a common thing if hugging. You do not have to be a couple to be able to embrace in happy moments like this.
It is unusual to ...
"What are you doing!" the voice of a woman who was slightly stomping from the poolside made the two end their happy laughter and took off a hug as well unconsciously.
"Mama! this is a new record for me!" exclaim Arsen is happy with his latest achievement which is considered very extraordinary. Until he looked at the mother with a sparkling face. Without him realizing if the mother seemed dumbfounded to see herself and Clarice alternately.
Two teenagers who had just involuntarily hugged were faced with two mothers who were staring at what their children had just done.
Yes. they do often see this done by teenagers out there. And they also behave normally to the perpetrators, because indeed this country has been too carried away by western culture.
But when they see their own children hugging the opposite sex in plain sight, and what is worse happens inside the pool in their wet clothes, it makes two mothers almost lose their breath. Especially Mommy Calina.
At the age of 16 years old, it feels too early for them to behave so, even though there are already many out there who do this. Both are used to seeing this when they watch a movie. Especially Korean drama films that are a favorite of teenagers today.
Their culture is different from this country. So some people will be overwhelmed by this kind of thing.
A few minutes ago, Mommy Calina and Mama Rania felt that their chatter was getting boring, and then think about going to children who may be swimming or whether they are doing anything in the backyard that has enough facilities to use. It will feel more exciting than talking about the lives of the Madam.
Walking together while chatting casually, the two were shocked by what became an unusual sight when they reached the back side of the house. Where their children both jump and cuddle while laughing joyfully.
What the hell's going on?
Why are they hugging?
Thought they were both compact, but without a word on each other's lips.
If Mommy Calina stares with a slick expression to see her daughter hugging a man who is not Daddy, Papa or his two younger siblings.
So Mama Rania also glanced to see her son hugging a girl. And what makes him even more surprised is that the youngest looks comfortable in the pool as deep as 100 cm. It was the first sight he had seen in ten years.
The two mothers approached quickly towards the edge of the pool closest to the position of the two. Not wanting that strange moment in plain sight to last too long.
When knowing the achievement in Arsen, Mama Rania felt very happy and needed to thank Clarice. While Mommy Calina feels very proud, because her daughter managed to help Arsen little by little regardless of the trauma she suffered. When just told by Mama Rania if Arsen traumatized with depth in the living room earlier.
But the problem here is...
"Why should there be a cuddling event?" mommy Calina asked the princess.
"Huh?" peekik Clarice looked confusedly at the mother. "Huggle?" ask Clarice.
"Yes!" mommy Calina replied with serious and worried eyes. "Why should you wear a cuddle?" ask Mommy Calina again.
The two teenagers finally returned. After being both unconscious if they embrace.
Suddenly Clarice turned to Arsen at the side of her right, staring intently with her pair of eyes wide open.
Arsen realized that in such a scary look by Clarice tried to dare herself to see Clarice's eyes, which she believed would be like a pair of eyes that were about to jump from her nest. Arsen was very familiar with Clarice's emotions that were often unclear, and sometimes even explosive.
"You hugging me?" clarice asked with a annoyed exclaim.
"Just kid!" arsen spray. "You hugged me first!" replied the unconscious Arsen too if they hugged.
"You must have stolen the opportunity!" clarice doesn't want to lose.
"You who have been angry with me ever since! And when I can you immediately take the opportunity to hug me!" reply Arsen no less ketus.
"Hi! don't be so confident, you!" clarice swore. "I won't hug you!"
"Have confessed it. It has already happened." replied Arsen flatly.
The byurr! The byurr! The byurr!
Clarice pelted Arsen's face using the water she pushed using both of her palms repeatedly. So that Arsen's face was soaked with pool water.
Not to be outdone, Arsen did the same. He does so much more powerfully because he uses his power as a man.
So that the two now splash water on each other's faces. Neither felt if they hugged before. But both of them remembered it was true if they embraced, even a little jumping up and down so happy.
"HEY! OI! OI! STOP!!!" mama Rania's yelling made the two stop around.
Cla and Arsen end their action by rubbing each other's faces.
"Look! mama and Mommy Calina's clothes are wet because of you!" mama Rania said she saw her clothes were partly wet by splashes of water from her own son and his best friend's son.
"Sorry, Mommy, Aunty! Cla was unintentionally!" cla immediately walked over.
"Sorry, Mama! Sorry too, Aunty. Arsen was completely unintentional."
Arsen also walked over. And the two climbed to the edge of the pool in turn using the pool stairs.
"Yes my gosh. You guys are really adorable!" mama Rania squeezed her hand while watching two teenagers standing between herself and Calina. Where to tell if both are annoying.
"How come, you're hugging but you're not aware that you're hugging?" mommy asked Calina to stare angrily at the restrained, at Clarice who was standing nearby. The look in his eyes was a little sharp, but it was enough to make Cla feel very guilty.
"Sorry, Mommy!" cla replied with regret. "But Cla was completely unconscious earlier." - Clarice.
"Arsen also apologized, Aunty. Arsen didn't realize it." said Arsen lowered his head. "It's all because Arsen was too happy with Arsen's achievement which Arsen said was extraordinary." explained Arsen, hoping that Clarice would not be angry or punished again related to him after this.
"Next time Mommy doesn't want to hear there's an unconscious excuse!" said Mommy Calina. "What if you don't realize you're crossing a line?" mommy Calina asked a little. "Mommy can die standing up, naak... You haven't turned 17!" mommy Calina said that holding back anxiety is actually anger.
"Sorry, Mommy.." - Clarice.
Mommy Calina, as the owner of the girl feels very at a disadvantage in this case. But Mommy Calina tries to hold back the emotion of actually wanting to explode on the spot. Because in reality they are too happy with what Arsen got. Something that the young man and his family have been waiting for for ten years.
"Next time, Mommy doesn't want to see like this again, okay?" mommy Calina said firmly.
"Yes, Mommy.." replied Clarice looking down deeply.
"Yes, Aunty." replied Arsen.
Mommy Calina seemed to shake her head in fret. His chest rumbled so worried that the princess was carried away by the flow of free association. He can not just stand still in the face of adolescent relationships in this day and age.
While Mama Rania, she seemed calmer in the face of all this. Maybe because Mama Rania is used to living abroad, or going back and forth. So that what his son did looks reasonable while no more than that. Although I was in shock when I first saw her.
So that Mommy Calina's nagging is enough to make the son realize his mistake.
"Now get changed, and we have lunch together." said Mommy Calina looking at Clarice and Arsen's eyes alternately. "Mommy and Aunty Rania are waiting in the dining room."
"good. Mommy.." answered Cla.
"Yes, Aunty." replied Arsen.
