You Saw Me?!
Hope extinct?

Eps. 106

After the busyness and frustration of completing the thesis, Clara finally graduated and graduated happily.

Clara, Alice and Brian graduate together, take photos together and celebrate their graduation in the evening, eating at a restaurant with a few other friends.

Brian was still so attentive to Clara, there was no look of hate and anger on the man's net. Clara looked at the man in front of her who was laughing happily with the rest of the class. Brian is a really good boy.

"Did you hate me?" ask Clara. He was standing with Brian in front of the restaurant with his tote bag and long coat. Brian was also wearing a thick jacket because it was so cold tonight in the city of M.

Brian smiled softly as usual. "No. Ah, I'm just a little disappointed that you didn't accept my declaration of love" Brian said, then chuckled.

"I'm sorry" Clara said.

"Don't feel burdened. Are you going back to your town after this?" ask Brian again.

Clara nodded. "Yes Brother. I promised Mama I'd be back soon after graduation."

Brian sighed slowly and eroded the distance on Clara. "May I keep your photos when we take photos together at graduation?" ask her with a sad face.

"Boleh Brother. I feel guilty."

"Then be my girlfriend" she told him to laugh out loud. Clara pinched her lips and then chuckled after.

A few moments quiet. Clara and Brian are enjoying the chill tonight.

"May I ask one more request?" Clara nodded small.

Early in the morning Clara will return to her hometown. He had promised his mother and the girl could not wait to see Reyhan. Although he actually doubted that Reyhan was still waiting for him for four more years.

This could be the last meeting with Brian. Because Clara does not know whether after this, she will return to visit this city or not.

"May I hold you one last time?" ask Brian carefully.

Clara's body stiffened for a moment. Maybe this is the last one before Brian finds another love. Clara knew, that face was hoping for quite a bit on Clara's answer.

"Sure" said Clara, half in doubt.

Clara was quite nervous as Brian walked slowly and suddenly hugged her tightly. Warm. He tried to force himself to move his hand and return the embrace. Think of it as the embrace of a friend who is about to part.

"Thank you, Clara. I'll miss you" whispered Brian.

Clara could not answer those words because it sounded so painful in Clara's ears.

"I'm sorry Brian. Brother is fine."

"Are you ready?" ask Alice. Clara nodded after she finished putting all her belongings in the car.

The girl who now has long hair twenty inches straight under her back looks up, staring at the building cost three levels of salem that is quite neat and clean.

Four years she lived here with Alice. Clara was sure that one day she would miss this place a lot.

"Come on, Clara" took Alice from the car with the glass open.

"Yes." Yeah." Clara enters the car that will drive her to her hometown. I left so many memories in this place.

Finally, I'm home.

The car slowly left the cold city of M. This city is a mountain town, the air is so cool and the water is so cold.

Clara stared out the window, looking at the view of the city she was about to leave. He can't wait to get to his house and meet Reyhan.

Four more hours in the car, Clara finally arrived in the city. In fact, in these three years Clara still returned home once or two months, but today she will settle in the small town.

"Clara, I'd like to stop by the minimarket for a bit. Wanna come?" ask Alice who is sitting next to the driver.

"certain."

The car turns on the minimarket not far from Clara's house. He planned to buy some food so as not to have to go out again after this. Because the journey is quite far makes Clara want to rest when she gets home.

Unlike the atmosphere in the city of M, the city of his birth is quite warm and this minimarket is not so crowded.

"Claras?"

DEG

Clara's body flinching. Did he not hear wrong? Is that true ... but isn't Reyhan still in J's town? 

Clara looked quickly, and sure enough. It really is Reyhan.

Clara was dumbstruck with her mouth slightly agape. Reyhan in the real world is much more handsome than he sees on his social media.

Clara's face now feels hot staring at the man, maybe his face is red at this time. Clara's heart was rumbling. He held his feet desperately so as not to run and hug the man.

Clara missed that guy a lot.

"Hai-hi, Rey. How are you?" clara asked awkwardly. He crumpled the trolley he was carrying.

"good. You're home yet?" reyhan asked looks ordinary. Is Reyhan no longer angry or ... he does not care about Clara anymore?

"Ah yes. I'm back because my college is over. What about you?"

"I've been here a week. My lecture is also over, I–"

"Rey, let's go home" said a mature woman with wave hair, so beautiful. This graceful girl was wearing formal attire with a span skirt below the knees.

"Eh? Are you talking to someone?" ask the girl.

"Hemm .. wait in the car, I'll catch up" Reyhan said.

"okay."

The beautiful girl was seen judging Clara from top to bottom then smiled after saying goodbye. That smile is a little suspicious.

Clara was very curious and wanted to ask but she paused. He knew he was jealous at this moment. Looking at Reyhan's treatment, it seemed that the girl was very close to the man she liked.

Is my hope gone?

"Sorry Clara, it looks like I have to go" Reyhan said.

"A,ah .. sure. Please."

Reyhan smiled and turned around to leave. Will this be Clara's last chance to meet? No. gabe. It can't be like this.

"Rey!" calling Clara a little hard made Reyhan turn his head.

"May I have your phone number?"

Reyhan did not answer. The man just stared at Clara flatly.

Clara could not read the expression on Reyhan's face. But there was something that made Clara feel awkward.

"May," said Reyhan then returned and gave his number to Clara.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" ask Alice while putting groceries in the car.

"Alice .. I met Reyhan just now," said Clara sadly.

Alice stops her activities and gives her attention to Clara, but her best friend's response seems ordinary.

"really? Then why are you so moody?"

Clara was still bowed with a sick heart. His mouth felt heavy to speak.

"Reyhan .. he .. is with a woman."

After shaking for quite a while, Alice closed the back car door and walked forward. He opened the door in the front seat, but before entering he made a sound again. "Don't think too much. Maybe it wasn't her boyfriend. I told you, right? There is no harm in trying. Come on in, eat and rest."

Clara's chest was so tight considering Reyhan was with the woman. Clara hesitated, Does she still have a chance?
