The Love That Reunites
Chapter 60

".... Why did you say that?. . Why did you accuse me of doing that with Farel? For five years I kept questioning this. I wonder what the reason is. I wonder what makes you so angry and hate me" Clara stared at Reyhan.

Reyhan was silent for a moment. 'Why does he ask like he knows nothing? Whether he was just pretending or indeed all this time I misunderstood. But, that's not possible. My eyes are still healthy, I'm sure in the video are Clara and Farel'

"You want to know the answer, well I'll tell you, but not now. I'm sure you won't believe it if there's no evidence. Wait a few more days and you'll know everything" Reyhan said.

"You better go home. I can do my own work" Reyhan said.

Clara said she also did not want to linger long with Reyhan.

At 6pm. The office looks creepy. Although the lights have been turned on, it still does not reduce the aura of horror in the office. Even more scary because of the dim lights.

"Geez, why is this exactly what I saw in the movie. What if the lights suddenly go out or when I am in the elevator, the elevator suddenly stops and a creepy figure appears, hiiiii. I love watching horror movies, but if I experience real-world horror, I'm afraid. Moreover, I do not have supernatural powers like in movies or novels" Clara said to herself.

Clara hurried to the elevator. When the door will be closed, there is a hand that holds the elevator door. Of course it makes Clara tense. The elevator door slowly opened back and ...

"Gosh, it turns out lo!"

Reyhan entered the elevator and stood beside Clara.

"I have a little business" Reyhan said.

Clara felt the elevator go down so slowly. On the 4th floor, the elevator stopped.

"What's this?" Ask Clara to panic.

Reyhan immediately pressed the help button.

"Hello, why did the elevator stop? Is there a problem? Hello?!" Shouted Reyhan. But there's no answer.

The tep!

Clara's coming closer

to Reyhan when the lights suddenly go out. Reyhan immediately turned on his cell phone light.

"Are you good?" Ask Reyhan. He was shocked when he saw Clara who looked pale.

"Lo why?" There was no response from Clara. Clara suddenly sat down because of weakness.

Reyhan looked confused and panicked. He immediately called someone to fix the elevator.

"I'm .. I'm afraid of the narrow room" said Clara Lirih.

Reyhan suddenly remembered five years ago when they were in the mall. She remembers Clara saying the same thing.

"Try to stay calm and don't forget to breathe. Soon help will come" Reyhan said. He fanned Clara's face with his hands. He sat down next to Clara.

Reyhan who could not bear to see Clara so frightened immediately hugged her and calmed her down as he used to do five years ago.

"It's gonna be okay"

They waited long enough, about ten minutes. Fortunately, the elevator was open, but only half of it.

"Are you guys okay?" Ask a man. He glanced into the elevator.

Reyhan immediately helped Clara stand up.

"We're fine" Reyhan said. They finally got out.

"Repair it today as well. Tomorrow it should be operational" Reyhan said.

"Ready sir!"

Reyhan then immediately approached Clara.

"Would I take you home?" Tawar Reyhan's.

"I can be alone" Clara then exited the office.Thankfully there were two lifts, so she could use the other one.

An alarmed Reyhan chose to follow the woman to her home safely.

...****************...

The next day on holiday, Reyhan immediately went to the counter to repair his phone which was damaged by his throwing. Unfortunately the phone cannot be repaired but the data is still safe.

Elsewhere, Clara invites Farel to meet, just the two of them. They finally decided to meet at the cafe.

"Have you been waiting a long time?" Farel asked in front of Clara.

"It's only been five minutes"

"What's wrong? Is there anything I want to talk about?" Tanya Farel then sipped her coffee.

"Jawab Farel, what happened five years ago? Was it true that I just fainted and was taken to the hospital?" Clara asked for an explanation.

"Really nothing happened. When the stupor knocked you out, the driver helped you and soon the police arrived. They're taking us to the hospital. After that nothing happened" Farel said.

"Why are you asking me this again? How many times have you asked and I always answer with the same answer" Farel said a little annoyed.

"sorry"

"Did something happen until you always asked me this?" Ask Farel. He knew what made Clara always ask him the same question. Because that's what makes Clara like this now.

"Five years ago, Reyhan accused me of doing dirty things with you when I was going to drive you to the hospital" Clara said. Farel was not surprised at all because he already knew it. He listened carefully to what Clara would say next.

"Till now he still thinks that way. He accused me of being a cheap woman for doing that for money. He also thought Jonathan was my son with you" Clara said, unable to hold back her tears.

Farel was overwhelmed to hear it. Honestly, there was regret in his heart about his actions five years ago. He did manage to separate Clara from Reyhan, but he also made Clara suffer because of his behavior. He who is on campus with Clara knows very well, that the woman was never close to any man because of Reyhan's words that made him hate men. Until now he could not get Clara even though it had separated them.

"Here you go, don't be sad. I'm going to find out the truth of Reyhan's words" Farel said, holding Clara's fingers tight.

"You want to walk with me?" Take Farel, he wants to cheer Clara up and make her happy today.

Arriving there. They walked together while enjoying the beauty of the waterfall.

Clara asks Farel to take a picture of her. It was with great pleasure that the man granted it. Clara takes pictures with a variety of beautiful natural settings. Farel remained faithful to be a photographer Clara even though the woman had moved places just to take pictures. Seeing Clara's smile and laughter, it was enough to make her tiredness disappear.

Clara then tells Farel to pose, but the man refuses. Clara then invites him for a photo together and Farel complies.

Farel immediately pulled out his phone and photographed himself and Clara.

"This will be a wonderful memory that I will remember forever" murmured Farel staring at a photo of himself and Clara. Unbeknownst to Clara, she records the woman in silence.

Clara then treat Farel as a thank you for being her photographer.

"I don't think this is enough. You have to date me tonight" Farel said. Clara agreed.

...----------------...

Farel picked Clara up at his house that night. When they got to the place they were headed.

"Close your eyes" Farel said, opening the door for Clara and helping her out.

Clara wanted to ask but he paused and chose to do Farel's speech.

Farel led him to a place. They walked slowly.

"Now open your eyes" said Farel. Clara opened her eyes slowly. His eyes stared in amazement at what he saw. A beautiful decoration, candle wax adorned around, looks a stretch of roses that form love around it.

Farel invited him to sit at the dinner table that had been provided.

"I'm sorry if this is less romantic for you. I don't have time to prepare anything more than this" Farel said.

"Did you do it yourself?" Ask Clara.

"Yes, I did it with all my heart without the help of anyone else. I don't want anyone to intervene here" Farel said. He then invites Clara to enjoy her meal.

After finishing, Farel invited Clara to stand in the middle of the rose petals that he assembled to form love.

"Cla, I know from High School I made you uncomfortable. I always follow you, be possessive and sometimes scare you. I just realized what I did was wrong. You know I do all that because I like you. It's my fault for not telling you that and instead following you and making you uncomfortable. Now I want to fix my mistake. Clara, will you accept my love?" Farel asked, taking the ring box out of his pocket and opening it.

Clara could not answer, honestly she did not have any feelings for Farel.

"You don't have to accept me. I just wanted to express my feelings. So that I can leave quietly" Farel said staring at Clara's vexed face.

"Go? Where are you going?" Clara was confused.

"I will go far away and will not return" Sahut Farel stared at the woman in front of him. Clara thought, maybe Farel will go out of the country and will settle there.

"I just want to hear your answer, that's all" Farel said. Clara took a breath before answering.

"Sorry, but I can't. You know I just think of you as my best friend, nothing more. Again, sorry"

".. It's okay, I get it. I'm not forcing you either" Farel said. He gave the ring to Clara, even though she refused it.

"Take it as a memory. Take good care, that's all I can give you before I go" Farel said.

"Cla, I'm sorry for everything I did. I hope you forgive me and don't hate me" Farel said with glassy eyes.

"What are you talking about? I'll never hate you" Clara said.

"May I hold you one last time?" Pinta Farrel's. Clara hugged the man. Unbeknownst to Clara, Farel cried silently in her arms.

"Please promise not to forget me. I'd be so mad if you forgot me" Farel said.

"I promise, you often send word or visit here" Clara said patting the man's back.

Farel could only smile at Clara's words.

"Cih, did that jerk tell me to come here to see this? Did he deliberately show his romance in front of me? If you know this, mending I don't have to come" Gerutu Reyhan who stared from a distance.

Farel can't take Clara home because there's still business. He just ordered a taxi for her. After Clara left, she immediately approached Reyhan who was not far from the park. He asked Reyhan to come because there was something he wanted to talk about.

"Jaga Clara is good" he said.

"Lo told me?" Reyhan asked pointing at himself.

"Yes, take good care of him after I'm gone" Farel said.

"Why should I? Can't you take care of your own wife?" Ask Reyhan cynically.

"Just do. Take care of him and don't be bad to him anymore. He's innocent"

"You mean?" Ask Reyhan.

"If one day I call you, come quickly. At that time I did not have much time" Farel said then left Reyhan.

"Damn!! Whatdoes thatmean? Why did he tell me to look after Clara?" Reyhan asked in frustration. He chose to return to his apartment.

...----------------...

"Where have you been a useless child?! You should have taken care of your nephew! I'm tired all day working and have to look after her too?! If you're useless, you better get out of this house!" Her mother shouted as Farel opened the door.

"Hey! Didn't you hear my words? You useless child! I'm confused as to why I gave birth to an autistic and sick child like you!" His screams vented his anger. Farel walked up the stairs without caring for his mother.

"I'm treating you so you can be useful in this family! But just looking after a little kid you can't"

"Enough! I'll be leaving soon too! May you be satisfied with my departure!" Farel then slammed the door of his room.

Farel sat down, crying out for his fate.

"When my life is just a few days away ..."
