The Love I Don't Miss
Part 174 (Special Episode )

One Year Ago ...

A Sunday... A long and fun day to spend with friends, friends or family. To be clear, getting together with the closest people is the perfect moment to spend a weekend that often feels short.

Luckily, their vacation is still a few days away to be able to enjoy a relaxing moment like this. At least there's still a side time of three more days, before they get back to the routine at school.

Time shows at 9am. And the road that is commonly used for Car Free Day must have been many that are open to return can be crossed by motorized vehicles. Either cars, motorcycles or other public vehicles.

Riding his 250RR CBR motorbike, Arsen entered an elite housing complex that he has frequented since deciding to move to the Capital. Because a teenager who lived in the complex was in a class with him since sitting in class X.

Entering the iron fence opened by security, Arsen frowned when he saw that almost the same motor as his was there. Type CBR, and only different type CC.

Of course the racer knows who the owner of this one bike.

' Tumben 's! '

Inner Arsenic in the heart.

The racer got off the bike and immediately approached the main door of his friend's house which was none other than Naufal.

"Mas Naufal is in his room, Mas!" a woman dressed as a servant answered the door for her.

"Who else is it?"

"There's Mas Vino too..."

"Other than Vino?"

"Nothing."

"Oh, okay!" Arsen nodded. "I went straight up, Ma'am!" Arsen pointed at the winding staircase that led anyone to climb the second floor of the luxurious residence of the Mahardhika family.

"Yes, Mas Arsen... Please!" answered the woman who had been very well memorized with Naufal's friends.

So ride the young man who became the racer targeted by the teenage girl. Climbing the stairs with great agility, the young man arrived at the open door of the room. In the greeting there, Vino and Naufal are playing the playstation.

In addition to the fingers that appear to move by grasping the wireless stick, also the mouth that continues to take turns talking and issuing rant that is not careless, even everywhere.

"Tumben you're coming!" ask Arsen while jumping on the super soft Naufal bed of course. The rider lay on his stomach behind Naufal and Vino who were sitting on the sofa without a backrest that was on the side under Naufal's bed.

"Because I miss you guys... Especially you!" vino replied in an amused chuckle with his own sentence.

"When do you come home from London?" naufal asked.

"Curtain! L longs!" sahut Arsen nudged Vino's shoulder with his left elbow. "Yesterday morning!" arsen answered Naufal's question.

"Haha!" gelak Vino's.

"She just broke up, Sen!" sahut Naufal who also laughed when he heard Vino's answer.

"What?" arsen's strangulation was short, yet there was no expression of excessive shock on his handsome face.

"Yes!" naufal again.

"Since when did you break up?" ask her while snatching the PS stick from Vino's hand and continue the game Vino without permission.

Making Vino let out a long sigh while scratching the back of his head that did not itch, when he got the question he had answered when Naufal asked.

"Prom night night night!" he answered lazily remembering that awful night.

Arsen responded by simply raising both of his eyebrows. He did not care much about what happened to the young man. Especially since he knew that Clarice harbored feelings for him.

"Why break up?" ask her then flatly.

"She's cheating." she replied sounding quite heartbreakingly concerned ears, but definitely not including Arsen's ears.

Arsen raised next to the corner of his lips hearing Vino's reply. "Again only the love of monkeys. I'm not sure it'll last long.

"Mas Naufal? asked to meet him in the study room." said a waiter after knocking on the door of Naufal's room which had been open since.

"Yes!" naufal answered, looking at the housekeeper in his house.

Then he moved while handing over his PS stick to Vino and left two friends who were used to him living in his room. And again the three are not uncommon to stay at home with each other. And that makes them like brothers without blood ties.

At least that's how they got along before the storm that's coming soon.

Vino continued Naufal's action seen on the 43-inch TV screen and against Arsen who was no less good than him.

"I should have pursued her love Clarice from the beginning... He looks much better than Neha." Vino murmured suddenly.

DEG!

Arsen stopped his fingers moving above the PS stick button, and his eyes glanced sharply at Vino who was sitting on the left side of the sofa. Hearing Clarice's name in a condition that he thought was very inappropriate, made a small splash in the young man's chest.

"What do you mean?" ask Arsen while continuing the game. But the look on his face was not as friendly as the beginning when he entered Naufal's room.

"When I first entered our school, I actually liked Clarice. I first saw him when MOS. It's just that one time I saw him being dropped off by someone I knew as my Papa boss." Vino started telling stories. "From there I found out that he was Mr. Kenzo Adhitama's son. And it makes me less likely to get to know him any further."

"Then?" Arsen quietly took a deep breath that contained anxiety as well as emotions within.

"So I don't dare to know him... And I chose to continue to approach Neha who I have known since Junior High" he said. "But he's a traitor!" he said squeezing the PS stick in his hand. "But from the beginning I was desperately keeping my distance from Clarice. Because she's always jealous whenever she sees Clarice around me."

"Continue?" asked Arsen to know further.

"And now that I want to pursue Clarice, I'll focus on her. She's not the kind of girl to be picky." replied Vino.

"Cla can't be dating!" sahut Arsen with a chest that began to feel hot.

"I know she can't date yet. But it doesn't hurt to start the approach from now on, does it?" vino said with a smile confident that this time he would succeed. "If I get close to Clarice, I can take revenge on Neha. Let him know, I managed to get close to the girl who had been jealous since the beginning."

Until here Arsen's breath already looks very unfriendly. The teeth are tightening up. From the sentence Vino, it can be concluded if the young man wanted Clarice after breaking up from Neha.

But what should he be? Killing Vino for that plan? No way! What else he knows, Cla also likes this one young man.

"So you mean... You're gonna seek Clarice's sympathy after Neha's loss?" asked Arsen with a chest that began to deflate. His fingers had even played roughly over the stick button he held.

"Yes..for the time being I can only approach him, looking for his sympathy to make him love me in the end." Vino replied very seriously. "I'm sure he'll like me someday. I once felt that he was easy enough for me to approach, if I dared at that."

Arsen placed the stick in his hand by stomping on Naufal's bed. His emotions exploded beyond help hearing Vino's sentence as if he wanted to make Clarice as an escape after losing Neha which he knew in Vino's favor since still Junior High.

"Why?" asked Vino immediately turned to Arsen who seemed suddenly hostile.

"Preferably undo your intentions!" said Arsen squealing sharply at Vino who immediately rewinded his head in wonder.

"What do you mean?" ask Vino. "You don't accept me approaching Clarice?" ask Vino. "Why? You jealous? You like her too?" asked Vino frowning. "But I see you're so far away now!"

"But if you like him too, how about we compete in fair play?" tawar Vino's. "You come closer, I'm approaching too. Who loses, has to go as far away!"

Hearing this offer, Arsen grew even more emotional. With a deflated chest following the rough breath he breathed, Arsen said...

"It's not a matter of me liking Cla or not. Cla is also not an item to be contested in any way." said Arsen with hardened teeth. But the young man's position still remains on his stomach on Naufal's bed.

"Then why do you feel like I don't want to get close to Clarice?" vino's face was confused. Seeing Arsen's angry expression he also seemed to be stirred by emotions.

"You know.." said Arsen softly by holding the grip that had wanted to hit the mouth of one of his friends.

"What?"

"When Cla heard you were with Neha, he was so sad! Very! And only I know about this." said Arsen.

"Why is he sad?" asked Vino frowning.

"Because Cla liked you since the first time you met at school!" said Arsen with a tone of speech that sounded quite haunted.

"Huh?" peeking Vino seemed to not believe what Vino said. The sense of victory slipped just like that in his heart. I want to smile, but it can't be that easy.

"Are you sure, Bro?" ask Vino.

Like finding a needle in a haystack, Vino could no longer hold a beating heart faster after hearing what his best friend said.

Ever wanted to, but retreated by itself because of insecurity. And when intending to go forward, it gets news that can be likened to the fall of gold. Of course, the Atlit felt he had a rat's way to get to the destination faster.

"But I hate what you said just now, Vin!" his Arsen.

"Why hate? Would it be nice if Clarice had feelings for me?" ask Vino. "I'm getting easier to get her love" she said with two corners of her lips raised straight up. I could no longer hold back the smile of victory.

"But not by making him an escape!" arsen Sentak.

"Why are you suddenly angry? You don't like it?" vino asked in astonishment, and the smile that had appeared at a glance vanished just like that. "I didn't make Cla an escape!"

"If you don't want to make Cla an escape, you shouldn't have approached her when you lost Neha!" henkt Arsen is rude.

"Why are you like this?" Vino stared at Arsen's face.

"I don't like to see Cla cry! But I've seen him cry because of you!"

"Sen? If it's true that time Cla cried because of me, Ok! I'm sorry. Because at that time I did not know that Cla liked me." said Vino change position by sitting sideways to make it easier to see Arsen.

"And now that I'm not in a relationship with any girl, then I'm thinking about getting close to Cla, it should be normal, right?"

"It's normal that you don't like Neha!"

"I don't like Neha anymore, Sen!"

"If you don't like Neha, you won't think of taking revenge on Neha, you fool!" annoyed Arsen spoke and held back emotions.

"You know what I feel about?" ask Vino. "To be hurt doesn't mean I still like him!"

"I'm a man too, Vin! I know how you feel!" Arsen stomped on Naufal's bed so violently, that it made Vino turn his face back in shock.

"You better not interfere, Sen" said Vino. "Thanks, I told you that Clarice really likes me!" he patted Arsen's left shoulder.

"That first! You have to remember, the time that goes can also make everything change. Including feelings!" his Arsen.

"I know. A cent! As long as Clarice ever liked me, it would make it easier for me to get her" Vino said.

While Arsen was trying to hold back the emotions, Vino turned back to face forward, and muttered ...

"In that way, Neha will know... If I can even get the love of a Brighta Clarice Agasta, the daughter of Mr. Kenzo Adhitama. One of the richest businessmen in the capital! Neha's? It's nothing!"

BUGS!

As the sentence ended, a fist landed on his white cheek. And an Arsenio Wilson was already standing in front of her with a chest that was deflated with out-of-control emissions.

"Akh!" Vino complained suddenly while touching his upper jaw using his thumb. His face seemed to be squeaking withstanding the aches and pains caused by the impact of Arsen's clenched hand.

"Suck!" arsen was half restrained because he was in Naufal's house with the door not closed.

"What the fuck are you, huh!" exclaiming Vino stood up and pushed Arsen's shoulder quite firmly. The heart does not accept being hit for no apparent reason.

"I don't like your thinking!" arsen replied stomping, squeaking and filled with emotion.

"Why not like it?" ask Vino. "I've loved Clarice since the first time we met, and before Neha and I were dating. My fault where if now I want to realize my feelings at that time?"

"You said Cla likes me too. So what's wrong with me now approaching him?"

"Your fault is to make Clarice an ingredient you can rely on to avenge your heartache! I don't accept it!"

"If you like me, what do you want?" ask Vino to challenge. "Who dare to interfere!" henta Vino.

Staring sharply at Vino, Arsen drew and exhaled harshly. If indeed Cla likes and loves his best friend, there is nothing else he can do but protect Cla by remaining a spectator. And watch the story.

"I'm giving you one chance! If Cla cries because of you! Then I'll make sure it's not just my hands that come down to avenge everything!" arsen said seriously.

"One drop of Cla's tears that fell because of you, I will make you pay for everything by feeling 10 times my fist." Arsen said. "Remember! That's for one tear drop!"

"If Zuria alone could be eliminated by a Kenzo Adhitama easily! Especially you!" henta Arsen. "Any disappointment that Cla feels, you have to pay me!"

"I won't make Clarice cry!" sure Vino's coming after Arsen.

"It would be better if the evidence spoke! Not mouth!" arsen spray.

"You doubt me!" hentak Vino again pushed Arsen's shoulder, but this time with a slightly rough movement.

Arsen only replied by raising the other end of his lips. Pout Vino's sentence which he only considers bullshit.

"And if it turns out that Cla has rejected you, never repeat to try to get close to him again!" vino Ancam. "One rejection of Cla is forever!"

"Say you like Cla too!" sahut Vino smiled mockingly.

"It's none of your business!" blow Arsen again.

"Curtain! If love says love! Than to regret that it turns out that she really is mine!"

"It's none of your business!" rework Arsen is much clearer and filled with emphasis. "Don't make me choose to take it, before you do!"

"Remember that!" exclaiming Arsen pushed Vino's shoulder violently.

"Prom night will be a witness, he's avenging my love! Cry at home!" vino looked at Arsen.

Reply staring intently, "One time chance!" reload Arsen without reprinting Vino's last sentence.

Then left Vino alone in Naufal's room. Chest rumbles withstanding unreasonable emotions. It felt like he was anxious to tell Clarice if Vino had any ill intentions towards her. But he didn't want to hurt the girl by being disappointed.

What if Cla still likes Vino? thought.

Arsen channeled the emotions that burst in the chest by way of going down the stairs with a powerful stomp.

"Sen? where you going?" naufal asked as he passed by the lower steps, when Naufal was about to return to his room on the second floor.

"Reverse!" arsen replied pausing while sighing heavily.

"Have you just returned?" asked Naufal staring in disbelief at Arsen who would usually feel at home even though all day at his house.

"It needs to be the same!" it was Arsen who did not want Naufal to know what had just happened between him and Vino.

"Oh..." Naufal nodded in confidence, though he read an unusual face. "Okay!" Naufal patted Arsen's shoulder.

Nodding a glance, and Arsen again stepped out of Naufal's house.

Along the way, what is remembered by this one young man is only about the sentence Vino who wants to make Clarice as a tool to repay Vino's heartache. Although he knew that from the beginning Vino had liked Cla, but was hindered by their different status.

"A single tear, I'll return with your blood, you son of a bitch!" said Arsen when bergebernya motorbike like a fight in the racecourse.

***

"Why is Arsen in such a hurry?" naufal asked when he reached his room, and saw the sour face of Vino who looked dreamy on the sofa.

"Where do I know!" vino replied while returning consciousness by pretending to look for his cellphone in his pants pocket.

Naufal could read something strange. But when he wanted to ask further, his phone actually rang and the name Gwen appeared there. A name that he was waiting for lately to appear on his phone screen.

***

From that day on, the cold war between Arsen and Vino fluttered throughout their third year at Senior High School.

The last year that should be a year of opportunity to establish a good relationship before finally separating, it becomes a year of grief and vengeance for Arsen Vino.

Finally prom night came. And Arsen who already knew Vino's plan, certainly did not want to be a witness to Vino's proof.
