The Love I Don't Miss
Part 155 (Time Travel )

Clarice came out of her room to join the dining table in the dining room downstairs. Because dinner time has come. So now the Kenzo Adhitama family is complete to fill their stomachs before going to bed tonight.

Dinner is a good time to gather. Because when that time comes, the whole family is done with their mandatory activities out there.

Outside activities are over and ready to rest themselves before returning to activities tomorrow. Like school, work and everything else.

Often times moments like this will be the right time for all family members to share stories and also tell what they experienced during the whole day. Or the tomorrow they want to work on.

This moment is considered very important for Daddy Ken and Mommy Cal, because it becomes an opportunity for them to listen to their children's stories.

"Daddy?" call Clarice when dinner's over.

"Hm?" dad Kenzo answered, turning to the princess, who sat next to his wife, wiping her lips with a tissue.

"Daddy, earlier in the school report the results of the midterm exam have been shared. Daddy's gonna sign, okay?" clarice.

"Okay.." replied Daddy Kenzo casually.

"Galen too!" galen sat in front of Mommy Calina.

"Dygta too!" sahut Dygta's.

"Yes." replied Daddy Kenzo casually.

This is how Daddy Kenzo never asked what his children were in school. Whatever the value of the children, he is sure if the value has been obtained with hard work each.

"What rank do you get, brother?" dygta asked Clarice who was sitting in front.

"7 in class. And 21 at school!" clarice replied a little hesitating if her sister asked.

"It's still good Galen dong!" sahut Galen's.

"What rank are you?" ask Clarice.

"1 is!" galen answered proudly. "And ranked 3rd in school!"

"Seriously?" ask Clarice. Staring in disbelief at the younger brother who he considered very installment.

"Yes that!" galen replied again feeling proud by patting his chest slowly. "What rank are you, Dyg?"

"Rank 2 in class!" answer Dygta. "And ranked 7th in school!"

"Gee... Why are you always superior to me." murmured Clarice pursed her lips. "I've struggled to get good grades! But always lose to you..."

"Your grades at school don't determine your future." said Daddy Kenzo, who doesn't like it when his children are discouraged.

Especially Cla. Because everyone knows that Cla isn't her flesh and blood. So if Cla is discouraged, he is afraid if Cla feels different from his two younger siblings.

"Daddy's friend was very bad, in and out of the BK room. His father is from Jambi, and his mother is from Jakarta. He never got a ranking, and tends to always be in the last rank. But it turns out that after graduating from school the experience of life made him an extraordinary person."

"Over time we did not meet, and we did not expect to meet again when attending an invitation of business partners in Aceh about a year ago" explained Daddy Kenzo.

"It turns out that now he is the owner and manager of one of the largest oil palm plantations on the island of Sumatra that he pioneered himself by capitalizing 1 hectare of oil palm plantations from the Grandfather. And now it has become tens of hectares of oil palm plantations that he has."

Everyone notices when their Daddy talks. Mommy Calina also knows about Daddy Kenzo. Because he accompanied me at that time.

While Daddy Kenzo himself always likes to give stories that are full of meaning to his children.

"So never be discouraged, if the value that you get is smaller than what the brothers get" said Daddy Kenzo.

"Yes, Daddy!" cla replied feeling calm and comfortable, as Daddy Kenzo who was a wealthy and famous businessman never demanded himself to be the best in the class. Never compare its value with the value of the brothers.

But it won't just make him relax. He must continue to fight and fight to get a value that is no less good than his brothers.

Sometimes he gets discouraged by his abilities. His younger siblings, Daddy Kenzo's children, always gave good grades. While he who is not the biological child of Daddy Kenzo always gave a low value report.

If indeed the descendants were influential, then after Clarice, Papa Zio was also a very smart person. But why isn't he as smart as Papa Zio?

I don't know.no one knows about it. Obviously, every human being has their own strengths and weaknesses.

"Daddy?" call Clarice a second time.

"Yes?" answer the Father.

"Daddy gave Zuria permission to take the exam?" cla asked doubtfully, but he was very curious. "Because Zuria turned out to be in the top 100. If Zuria did not take the midterm exam for 2 days, Zuria would definitely be ranked number 120.

Taking a deep breath, Daddy Kenzo could have guessed that this would happen. This question will come from Clarice. Sighs softly Daddy Kenzo starts telling stories.

"Surely Daddy understood what you said in Daddy's office at that time had a point. Then Daddy negotiated with Uncle Venom, and also Papa Zio. Then Uncle Venom gave the idea to give Zuria permission to take the exam on one condition." replied Daddy Kenzo staring fixedly at the princess.

"What terms, Daddy?" ask Cla.

"Zuria had to do the exam in the office, in a special living room on the floor where Daddy worked. And Uncle Venom took care of him during the exam." said Daddy Kenzo.

"Until the exam is over?" clarice asked as if she couldn't believe Daddy's answer.

"Yes!" answer Daddy Kenzo with confidence. "Not a minute did Venom leave Zuria who was working on the exam matter right before her eyes. There's only the two of them there. And Uncle Venom did nothing but watch over Zuria who always ended up in cold sweat."

Clarice opened her mouth wider, not expecting the conditions given to Zuria. Clarice imagined the nervousness of Zuria doing the exam in front of people like Venom. Daddy kenzo's cold, unopposed personal assistant.

' But it's good, too.he's still in the top 100 despite carrying out the test in a way like being a Mafia prisoner. '

Clarice murmured in the heart.

"Cla thought... Daddy won't give Zuria a chance." Clarice said later.

"Daddy is just weighing your request, dear Daddy's son." replied Daddy Kenzo staring lovingly at the next daughter he had been with since she was still in the womb.

"Cla became curious as to what kind of face Zuria solved the test without anyone's help." murmured Clarice propped her chin with her left hand. Imagining Zuria's often annoying expression.

"Venom... Zuria looked calm at the beginning, and was always tense. The difference is that he can't look left to right to seek help." replied Daddy Kenzo. "Uncle Venom took care of the Zuria exam very well."

"Haha!"' Clarice laughed at her father's response.

"thank you, Daddy!" clarice was happy because of her request again and again followed by the Father.

After the distribution of the midterms report, Zuria was reported to have disappeared from the Alexander International School. No one left the school and no one knew where the girl moved.

News about the ARL Express expedition company, now changed its name to Lion Express. It is said that the rest of ARL shares are sold to certain parties. With the pull of shares of Adhitama Group, the name ARL Express increasingly sank. Demo employees occur everywhere, because the salary is not given according to the agreement. Eventually the company changed hands.

So the taxi company?

This one business is still running, only the number of cars and employees is dwindling. It was caused by several cars and facilities sold to cover the shortage.

But no one knows where they live now. The three-story house with its splendor had changed hands. And now inhabited by different people.

Two months after the midterm exam, the midterm exam is carried out again, for one week. And now the school holiday season has arrived. The end of the year is filled with two weeks off by Alexander International School students.

During the two months that went by, Clarice's life seemed like normal. The difference every weekend Arsen always appears in the residence Kenzo Adhitama. For swimming with Cla. Sometimes he comes alone, and sometimes brings Mom and even Dad.

And that makes the Adhitama family and the Wilson family now more familiar and close. Even Jonathan Wilson agreed to plant a stake in the banking business founded by Kenzo Adhitama on the way Captain Tendean.

By joining two entrepreneurs with their respective intelligence will make the banking business will be increasingly large and widespread.

Even the CEO who holds this banking specialty seems to have been determined well, by mutual agreement.

Then Arsen's feelings for Cla, is it still the same?

Daddy Kenzo who knows that Arsen actually has a love for Clarice, does not necessarily make the Daddy keep Arsen away from his daughter. Nor does it bless that easily the intention of the young man even though the old man has now become a business partner.

On one occasion. Daddy Ken's talking to Arsen in private. And everything is clearly conveyed by Daddy Ken, if Cla is not allowed to date. At least until graduation Senior High School.

It's okay! Arsen knew about this one.

What about Arsen's development in swimming?

The young man is progressing quite rapidly. It is now proven that it can survive a few minutes in the water. He also began to dare to learn to swing his feet in the water by holding on to an iron pipe.

And it makes the Wilson family very grateful to Clarice who painstakingly made Arsen beat her trauma to the depths. Even now Arsen always practiced at a depth of 125 cm to 150 cm.

Although Arsen's parents knew, if Clarice often scolded Arsen. But neither of them was irritated by Clarice. Rania and Nathan chuckle to see his son being angered by a girl he is looking for.

And they feel anxious with Arsen's attitude that looks neither emotional nor irritated when in Clarice's omelette. Precisely impressed resigned when the girl nagged.

That day, their first day of semester break. Arsen and his parents came to Kenzo's house. The purpose of the parents is to discuss about the inauguration of some things.

One of them is the determination of Kenzo's successor CEO at the Adhitama Group, and also the determination of the banking CEO, which is headed by the Adhitama family and the Wilson family who will soon operate.

It wasn't just the Wilson family that came. But also the family of Zio Alvaro who also came for the meeting.

If Daddy Ken, Papa Zio and Papa Nathan chat in the workspace with two other people, who are none other than Venom and Jonathan's personal assistant. Then Mommy Calina, Mama Zahra and Mama Rania were busy making lunch.

Not to forget there are also Galen, Dygta and Zhian who are in Galen's room to play PS 5 belonging to Galen.

Clarice, Arsen, and Felia are in the pool. They are already wearing swimsuits. But the three of them had not entered the pool but were still chatting casually by the pool.

Clarice tries to introduce Arsen to Felia, so that the three don't look stiff and tense. So that next they will chat casually.

"I have a neighbor who attended Bhakti Mulya High School" Arsen said after a long chat.

"What's his name?" asked the real Felia since then as if hypnotized by the good looks of an Arsenio Wilson.

"Daris!" arsen answered without looking at Felia. "He's a XI class. Studying for IPA!" reply Arsen. "You familiar?" ask Arsen.

"I just know, but we don't know each other." Felia answered still looking at Arsen's face on her left side.

And Arsen does look so handsome when he looks from the side. Everyone will admit to this one thing.

How his black hair wrapped his head, dna arranged in such a neat and cool.

"He's the vice-chairman of OSIS when I'm MOS until this second!"

"Yes, he also said that he was the vice chairman of OSIS." said Arsen.

"I think your home complex is only inhabited by people who will definitely put their children in International schools." said Clarice. "It turns out there are also private schools."

"He was my neighbor, but not my neighbor's son." replied Arsen turned to Cla who was sitting to his left, because Arsen's position was in the middle of two beautiful girls.

"Then?"

"He's the servant's son in the house. Then my neighbor sent Haris to the school. To ensure the needs of Haris. In exchange, Haris also works at the house. As anything."

"For what?" ask Clarice.

"Whatever he can do is done by Haris. As an expression of his gratitude." replied Arsen.

"WOW!" exclamation Felia. "Neither are they." he murmured later.

"Yes.." answered Arsen. "Now let's get down! I should be able to swim soon! The day after you left the country, didn't you?" tanya Arsen looked at Clarice.

"Yes, you're right!" answer Cla. "I want to know South Korea!" cla looked at the blue sky above.

"Unfortunately Papa and Mama have to go to Los Angeles, all at once because there's business! so I went on vacation to Uncle Sam's country!" arsen felt sad to have to part with Clarice.

"Yes, come on!"

Arsenic went down into the water. But the two girls on the right and left side did not come down. And Arsen was peeking at Clarice who was still looking at the sky. Imagine if he will soon visit the country of origin of his favorite drama.

"Come on!" exclaiming Arsen pulled both Clarice's hands resting on her right side and legs.

"YYYYY!!!" clarice shouted in shock at Arsen.
