The Love I Don't Miss
Part 153 (Three Dream Youths )

Wall clock shows at 12.15 WIB, Alexander International School break hours have been going on since 15 minutes ago. There's 15 minutes left.

Arsen, Hanna and Naufal were sitting all three at the canteen table. Hanna sat alone, while Arsen and Naufal sat side by side in front of Hanna.

Finished with their lunch, Arsen gave the idea to make a video call with Clarice, and invited Naufal and Hanna to play at Clarice's house. Under the pretext of studying together. More precisely to discuss the matter of the material taught today that Clarice missed.

Arsen deliberately requested that Hanna alone contact, because she was worried that through her phone would be rejected by the girl. But when it managed to connect, then Arsen was the one who mastered Hanna's phone.

After successfully getting permission by Cla to come, the three now search and managed to find Vino who walked alone down the stairs. It seemed that the young man had just returned from approaching Neha in front of her class.

"The chin!" greet Naufal with gesture calling the athlete.

"What's up, Fal?" ask Vino who is now running parallel.

"Follow to Clarice's house, yok?" take Hanna.

"For what?" ask Vino.

"It seems like it would be exciting if today we studied together" replied Naufal.

"Yes, Vin! come along!" sahut Arsenic. "Study while playing!"

"Kayak son of a Kindergarten are you!" hanna.

"But..." Vino seemed to be thinking hard with this invitation.

Come or not? If he comes, it means he will go to the house of a friend and the house of his father's boss. Polite, huh? Can, huh?

"I don't feel good about going to Clarice's house." replied Vino.

"Why?" ask Arsen.

Sighing deeply, Vino looked into the eyes of his friends one by one. "You know, my Papa is the manager at Daddy's Clarice's company" Vino replied hesitantly.

"Then?" naufal asked, not understanding.

"I don't feel good going to his house, Papa's boss." replied Arsen.

"Are you seeing Clarice discriminating friends?" ask Arsen curiously.

"No, anyway.... But I just don't feel good..."

"Father Clarice just GM over there. Cla is friends without looking at the fur. I've known him for three years!" answer Naufal.

"If she's picky, she won't want to be friends with me!" sahut Hanna's.

"I know that." murmured Vino.

"So come along, huh?" ask Hanna. "When we go home early." - Rayu Hanna who missed her rich friend.

"Yes, it's been. I'm coming!" vino replied after thinking for a moment.

"Goody!" naufal patted Vino on the shoulder a little hard.

While what happened to Clarice after hearing the news that her friends would come earlier, she immediately went back down and entered her room. After throwing the phone over the bed, Cla opened the door to her big four-door closet wide.

Looking for the right clothes to welcome the arrival of his friends. More precisely the anticipation if if Vino really will come.

A few minutes had passed, five sets of clothes were already stranded on his bed. But he has not found a dress that suits his taste to welcome friends.

Eh, no! But... Malvino Lubis's.

If Hanna and Naufal were to come, he was already used to the clothes he used to wear everyday. If it was Arsen, that young man just came to his house yesterday. At that moment he was dressed. So there is no need to look WOW in front of Arsen.

More precisely not caring about the young man either. After all, in a wet situation just already know each other. Though it might just be the alibi of the girl.

"Oh my God, why does the presence of one person make this dizzy?" gerrutu annoyed.

He was facing a mirror that filled the four doors of the closet. Wearing a little neat clothes. Dress jeans overalls with a knee-length skirt model. Then a tight yellow t-shirt was attached to his body.

The general model clothes look very beautiful in Clarice's body, because it does have a brand that is not commonly used by the lower middle class like this. But the girl was not satisfied with what was attached to her body.

He again tore through his huge closet. Find a better dress for her. Until finally he found a Korean style skirt on the knee, with a twisted crease, with a grid-lined motif in light blue and white neatly arranged.

After feeling that this skirt was suitable for her, she immediately looked for her top that was shaped like a hoodie jacket, with long sleeves. The difference is Cla clothes made from thinner than hoodie in general.

"All right! let's try it!" murmured Clarice again changed her clothes with the model she had just picked up.

A few minutes later, he was back in front of the mirror with the shirt he had just picked. Again, the girl was dissatisfied. Pouting skirts that are not much different from school skirts, although different models, colors and motifs.

He opened his closet again. Sliding closet doors with glass walls that fill. He had not found a dress that he thought fit from the hundreds of clothes on display and arranged, the door of the room had been knocked by someone.

Quickly Clarice approached the door and opened it. "What's up, Ma'am?" cla asked a man in a waitress shirt about 23 years old.

"There are friends of Sister Clarice below." she reported.

"What!" cry Clarice. "They've come?" exciting Clarice.

"Yes, Ma'am Cla.." replied the waiter.

"How many people?" clarice asked with her eyes wide open.

"Four, Ma'am Cla." replied the waiter.

Sighing nervously, Cla said inwardly, It is true that he came along!

"Yes already... Please Ma'am ready for drinks and any food for them, huh? and take it to the rooftop! I'll be right down." replied Clarice in a hurry.

"Well, Ma'am Cla.." replied the young maid.

Jrett!

"So soon they're coming!" clarice grumbled as she closed the door of her room with a slight stomp.

Clarice turned her head to the wall clock, which showed at 13:15 WIB. "What time are they really at? This clock is here!" his gerutu approached the dressing table.

There is no time for him to choose clothes that he thinks are suitable for use. Inevitably, ready unprepared, not fit finally the clothes he is wearing that are used to welcome friends.

"Hopefully Vino doesn't mind what I'm wearing!" his grunts in front of the mirror while combing his long, wavy black hair at the end.

But the next second, the beautiful girl laughed. "You're too confident, Cla!" muttered. "When he's never interested in seeing what you want to wear, what you want!" he muttered while returning the comb on his dresser.

Sighing roughly, Cla looked at himself from head to toe through the reflection of the mirror in front of him.

Down the stairs using the elevator, Clarice on the slopes of overwhelming nervousness. For the first time the young man he idolized at school appeared in his house. The heart beats like a battle drum that is built to prepare for battle.

Cla sees the usual living room he used with Naufal and Hanna empty, apparently receiving friends in a special living room. Now he is standing in the doorway.

"Hi.." said Cla to the four friends who were sitting next to each other on the big sofa.

"Hi, Cla!" reply Hanna and Naufal together.

The first thing he saw was Vino, it seemed that the young man looked quite stiff in his house. And Cla's trying to make things feel more relaxed.

Then the tail of his eyes was always attracted to the figure of the latest student in his class. Arsen, the young man smiling slantedly looked at himself from toe to head. If it's just the two of you, it feels like Cla wants to throw a pillow in Arsen's face.

"Eh, so come here to study or..."

"It should be both!" naufal knows where Clarice is going.

"Hehehe!" gelak Clarice is followed by the laughter of Hanna who has also been memorized by the nature of Clarice. "Then we go to the rooftop!" said Cla.

"Great idea!" sahut Arsen agreed with this idea.

Rooftop, he again gets the opportunity to carve memories with Cla at Clarice's house. This is what he was after to get to Clarice's house.

***

So now the five teenagers are in the rooftop after greeting Mommy Calina and Eyang Shinta who are in the family room downstairs.

The five arrived at the rooftop on the 3rd floor by taking the elevator, so as not to explore the second floor filled by the rooms of the residents of the house.

Sitting on the sofa that was originally occupied by Cla while doing a video call, the five are now in accordance with the initial plan, which is to learn together. Starting from all sitting on the sofa, until now the five-limbs are sitting below. Round table box yan size is quite large.

The dishes are available at the outdoor table. To wait for the sun covered by the house building, so you can relax on the rooftop after studying after the end.

And the waiting time has really come. The wall clock has shown at half 3 p.m. Rooftop has started to close the building even though it is not perfect. But it was enough to make them want to move there and end the study session together.

"I remember! when I first played here! I almost fell in there!" naufal said remembering the old events when he was Junior High School.

The position of the rooftop is close to the big mango tree, making Naufal a mango picking fad that is considered close to the rooftop. But in fact the hands did not arrive. And he fell over the 1-meter-high glass fence.

"And you did make one house!" clarice remembers that time.

That time... Although she was very familiar with Naufal like a friend, but in fact the girl still idolized Naufal. Admiring in his heart and hoping that later Naufal will also have the same admiration as him. When she was allowed to date later.

But over time, the sense of awe turned into a sense of complementarity as a friend. Until that love is eroded by a very close familiarity.

And now, there was another figure that he admired. Vino is now standing leaning against a thick glass fence and facing the side yard of the house pointed by Naufal.

Occasionally Cla looked at Vino. Not much conversation between the two. Since then it was Arsen who actively joked with him as well as others.

"Looks like you're active, Fal!" sahut Hanna's.

"Since then, the branch of the mango tree that leads here, must be cut by the gardener!" clarice. "And it's really because of you, Fal!" chirp Clarice.

"Haha!" naufal's laughter was followed by others.

Cla and Hanna sit in the rooftop court, on a green artificial turf. While three boys stand by enjoying the afternoon breeze on the glass fence. With the uniform of the boss that has been removed. Leave school pants, and t-shirts that are used for school uniform catch.

And I don't know, with those who like that make the three like princes who fall from the sky. His third looks just leave. Like a perfume whose fragrance reaches into the deepest recesses of the heart. And stuck it in memory.

And without realizing it, two teenage girls who were peeling fruit for the spice chocolate was carried away by their respective feelings. Their instincts as teenagers grow increasingly real.

So who managed to disturb the recesses of the two girls' hearts?

The same young man, huh?

Or something different?

I don't know, fate hasn't been able to reveal Hanna's heart. Hanna never told Cla anything about love. So that Cla considers Hanna like herself, who is forbidden to date while still in school.

And Clarice herself was also still in a daze when she saw the three like this. It was very different from the time at school. Their auras appeared realistically tore at the still-worrying heart. Teasing the recesses that had been in taste for Naufal, but eventually disappeared. And now there was a taste for Vino, but also the little boy who had ripped the place.

If Naufal used to hitchhike and be close together like a couple, then Arsen was the only young man who ever hugged himself. Moreover, it happened in the pool, and only yesterday afternoon.

The hearts of unstable teenagers are hard to guess, right? And it's in this position that Clarice is now in. I don't know if I have to choose which one.

***

Leaving that day, the day where 5 young people gathered in the rooftop residence of a wealthy businessman, then today is the day of the distribution of report scores after the midterms ended about one week ago.

The announcement of the ranking of each level will also be in paste in the mading-mading that is available in schools today.

In a school as big as Alexander International School, there are about 5 mading that always contains the same information, and spread across several specific points.

Like in the lobby of the school building, in front of the school building, near the canteen, near the sports field and also in the park that is commonly used by students to relax in the break hours.

What is the grade of Cla in the class?

And what rank is Cla at grade X level?

What about Zuria Agatha?

Everyone sits on their own benches. The teacher raises one by one the names that managed to get a ranking randomly.

On the projector screen, there were 20 figures already lined up. But those numbers are still empty. Not a single name has been revealed yet.

"Note... Miss will issue a name at random!"

"Yes, Miss!" answer the 20 students present today.

The five main cast members watched carefully. In addition to the five main cast, there was Lia and Carren who were also waiting for the results of the midterms.

The number 10 lights up first, and the next second Lia's name appears there. The sound of applause rumbled in the classroom. So next.

Until finally the name Naufal appeared in rank 4. After Hanna in 12th place, Clarice in 7th, Vino in 9th, Arsen in 8th, and Carren in 14th.

Up to 20 empty numbers are now full of the names of the students in the class, and ended with a boisterous applause of the students.

Although none of the five main cast members got the 1st place, at least they were satisfied with the results they worked on themselves. And not in the last 5th position.

"Later breaks, school rankings at each level, can be seen in the scattered Mading." said Miss Tiara.

"Yes, Miss..."
