The Love That Reunites
Chapter 58

"Tom, please excuse me. I'm sorry for admitting you as my girlfriend. I don't mean anything, Swear. I just_"

"What the hell is it. Don't worry, I'm not angry. Anyway, I also want to be your real girlfriend" Tomi said staring fixedly at Clara. Clara was shocked to hear Tomi's words.

"You mean?"

"Gue likes you, Ra. I want to be your girlfriend. No, you want to be my girlfriend?" Ask Tomi.

Clara was still silent trying to digest Tomi's words.

"Gue knew this was surprising to you. Honestly, I loved it from the beginning. I'm not diemin lo, but I'm too happy and nervous because you admit me as your girlfriend"

"Ra, I hope you will accept me as your girlfriend" continued Tomi. Clara looked at the sincere gaze of the man in front of her. Tomi is not playing.

He was confused about what to answer until he was silent for quite a while.

"Sorry Tom, I can't. I just think of you as my brother. I don't have more feelings. I'm sorry if I admit you as my girlfriend, it's because I don't want to worry Mira. I don't want him to think I haven't moved on from my ex"

"Sorry Tom, but I can't accept you" Clara said, looking down. He did not dare to look at Tomi, he was sure Tomi was disappointed with him.

Tomi's speechless. He was disappointed that Clara refused. But he can't do anything. Being near Clara and seeing the woman smile was enough for her.

"What a hell Ra. I understand and I'm not forcing" Tomi said, wiping Clara's hair.

Clara stared at Tomi. He knew Tomi must be very disappointed. However, Tomi is considered to be her brother.

"We're still brothers, right?" Clara asked, looking closely at the man in front of her.

"Yes my adek" Tomi pinched Clara's cheek in dismay.

"Thank you bang because you already know me" said Clara smiling who was replied with a smile also by Tomi.

Tomi takes Clara to her house. He waved as Clara closed the door. His face immediately turned sad when Clara had entered his house. Dismissed her hopes of being with Clara.

*****

The next day Clara was working. He felt Reyhan continue to watch over him with an intimidating look. That makes him uncomfortable. He put down the documents harshly and looked back at Reyhan.

"Why the hell sir? Am I wrong?" Ask Clara.

"Lo's really dating Tomi?" Reyhan asked while drinking his coffee.

"Good sir! I think I made a mistake, apparently just because of this!!"

"Employees should not date because it will interfere with performance only. Your work will be chaotic because it is not focused" Reyhan said.

"Biarin, after all there are no rules that prohibit office dating" Clara said cynically and left Reyhan.

****

At the break, Clara decides to meet Tomi. When he arrived at Tomi's room, he was confused why Tomi cleaned his things.

"Tom!" Call her.

"Eh, you're here" Tomi immediately pulled Clara to a seat.

"Why do you finish your stuff?" Ask Clara.

Tomi smiled wryly. "Pak Reyhan transferred me to a branch office in Bogor"

"What?!" Clara looked surprised. What's the reason Reyhan moved Tomi?

"But why?" Ask Clara.

"He told me to take care of the office. Besides I'm a HRD manager, of course many will apply for a job there and I have to take care of that" Tomi said.

"So you're moving to Bogor?" Ask Clara with glass. He has been working here for two months and Tomi is the only person so close to him. He even considered the man to be his brother.

"Don't be sad, I promise to visit you often. If there's a problem, tell me the same. I'll be ready to listen" Tomi said, but Clara was still sad.

"When are you going?"

"After I finish cleaning up the stuff here" Tomi said.

"Tell me when you're leaving. When you get to Bogor, don't forget to let me know" Clara said.

"Yes my sweet adek" Tomi said.

Clara returned to her room, she walked quickly to Reyhan's desk and kicked him over.

"What do you mean by moving Tomi to Bogor?!" Ask Clara with anger.

"Is that wrong? I also have a reason to do this. So that you do not date while in the office" Reyhan replied casually.

Clara was really angry, just because of that she moved Tomi. How outrageous.

*****

The next day Clara was acting tough on Reyhan. He was still angry at his boss. He was in his mind to quit his job.

"Clarah! why is my coffee salty?!" Reyhan asked spit out the coffee he had been drinking.

"Make me again!" Reyhan's orders.

"Why not do it yourself. Hands are still there, feet are there, eyes are there, brains are still there. Everything is still complete. So you can do it yourself" Clara said.

"Lo want me to fire?!" Shouted Reyhan.

"Fire me, I don't care"

Reyhan chose silence instead of continuing to serve Clara.

"Of everything!!" Sapa Adel entered the room.

"Hi Adel" Reply Clara.

Adel immediately sat down beside him.

"Sister, you can't persuade Reyhan to cheat on me later tonight" Pinta Adel whispered.

Clara frowned. Why would Adel ask her? Why didn't he persuade Reyhan himself?

"Why not just?" Clara asked in a whisper as well.

"Don't work, brother. I'm sure you can" Adel said. Clara finally agreed after Adel kept pressing her.

"Sir, Adel ngajakin lo dating tuh" Clara said still ketus.

"I told you, I'm busy" Reyhan said without seeing Clara.

"Lo must want or ..." Clara brought herself closer to Reyhan so that the man could feel Clara's breath coming down her cheek.

Clara immediately whispered a sentence that frightened Reyhan.

"Or I'll terrorize you with a ghost costume, make the lights turn off, tell a spooky story, play a kuntilanak sound, and sing a ghost-calling canticle to you, hihihi"

"Okay, I'll go ngedate same Adel" Reyhan said in the end. Adel shouted in excitement. Clara smiled slanted as her efforts succeeded.

"Well, but before that you have to go see investors at the Bintang hotel" Clara said.

"Gue can't. I have to say the same Adel because faster is better. So you have to go alone" Reyhan said staring intently at Clara.

"Can't do it sir" Kesal Clara.

"Why not go alone. Hands are still there, feet are there, eyes are there, brains are still there. Everything is still complete. So you can go alone" Reyhan said, mimicking Clara's words.

"I have business. Let's go" Reyhan pulls Adel's hand to leave Clara.

"Damn! Beware you, I'll be real terror, until you piss in your pants" threatened Clara, but Reyhan has gone.

He immediately went to the Star Hotel.

Arriving there, Clara waited in the hotel lobby. He immediately contacted the investor.

"Hello, I've been waiting in the lobby. I wear light blue clothes.... All right, I'll wait" Clara then plays her phone while waiting.

"Excuse me" said someone from behind. Clara. His eyes were perfectly rounded, his lips smilingly staring at the handsome man in front of him.

"Farel!"

"Cla! Well, I didn't expect to see you here" Farel immediately sat down in front of Clara.

"Who's that kid in your sling?" Ask Clara. Farel was indeed holding a handsome boy from earlier.

"He's my nephew. Handsome right? Jo, let's introduce yourself" Farel said.

"Hi Aunt, I'm Jonathan. Beautiful aunt, Auntie would not be my girlfriend?" Jonathan asked with an adorable face.

"Geez, did you teach her that?" Farel simply smiled at Clara's question.

"Jo, you're a kid, you can't date yet. Study hard, okay" said Clara. The 4-year-old boy nodded with a smile.

"I didn't think you were Reyhan's secretary" Farel said.

"Well, that's destiny"

"Better we go to a more comfortable place to talk. You want to, right?" Ask Farel. Clara nodded.

"Tante, I'm coming!" Jonathan.

"Then come on" Take Clara.

"But I want to be carried by Aunt" Jonathan said whining.

Farel forbids it but Clara says it's okay and immediately holds Jonathan. They look like a happy family, there is a mother, father and son, smiles adorn their faces.

"Did Clara have any children from Farel?" Reyhan asked in disbelief, he stared from a distance.
