“So... how?” tanya Lisya hesitated.
The school garden is quite quiet today, most students will be in the cafeteria at these hours.
Clara leaned her back on the park bench, she turned her face with her eyes closed, trying to enjoy the coolness of the garden under the shady trees.
Sitting here will make Clara more free to talk to Lisya.
Lisya could indeed hear every mutter or thought language that was intended for Lisya, but it was exhausting, Clara preferred to speak freely.
“Before I had an idea, but-”
“About that approach?” cut Lisya.
Clara turned her head,“Where do you know?” clara asked as she sat her body down.
“Hm... why approach if you just want to pass on a message?” ask Lisya again.
Clara let out a tired sigh and then returned to leaning her body into its original position. “That's what I meant. It will be useless.”
Delivering a message takes only a little time and attention from that person, but if Reyhan…
Momentary silence. Clara sat in silence as well as Lisya. The silent atmosphere broke until Lisya finally made a sound again.
“Oh yes... I forgot to say it.. This break time Rey will go to the library, maybe after from the canteen. Why don't you just go and say it directly,” said Lisya giving advice.
“I also think like that, but I still gather my courage.” Clara answered Lisya's words with her eyes closed, still laying her body on the park bench.
“Oh come on Clara, Rey is not as scary as that..,” entertain Lisya, she is already sitting next to Clara.
"It won't be long, just ask for five minutes" Lisya said again.
There's no response. Clara just kept quiet with doubt staring at Lisya. He sighed softly, he could see behind Lisya's smile, there was still doubt there.
Clara pulled her body to sit down. “I'm hungry, I'll buy a meal for a while, after that we'll go to the library,” Clara final. Lisya smiled happily.
Indeed this is not an option, helping to convey a message to the polar prince should not be as frightening. Simply come to see her, endure her cold gaze, then convey what Lisya said. Done it. Clara walked to the canteen to charge up first.
“Do not want to enter?” ask Lisya. Clara was standing at the door of the library trying to muster up her courage.
“Iya,” says Clara steady.
Clara stepped her foot into the library. The senses on his body were greeted by the cold air with the scent of old books.
The atmosphere of the library is very calm, many students are reading or are doing tasks without making a meaningful noise.
This time it was not the middle-aged fathers who were on guard, lucky that the current librarian was Clara's current classmate. Although not a classmate, at least Clara knew him.
“Pril, did you see Reyhan go inside the perpus?” clara asked as she stood in front of April's desk, the library guard.
“Reyhan huh?? looks like he just got in. Just try looking inside,” replied April with her stolen smile.
Clara did not heed, she thanked him and went to find Reyhan.
It's no secret that girls looking for Reyhan, most just want to be close to the handsome guy.
Lisya who first entered and flew away at once finally found Reyhan's whereabouts.
It wasn't easy for Clara as she tried to move her legs slowly trying to get close to Lisya.
After passing the fourth shelf, Clara turned her head and found Reyhan reading a book not far from where he was standing.
“Come there!” have Lisya cheer up.
“Iya, briefly. Patience why the hell!” clara was half-risi.
Clara's heart was about to jump from its place. Many times Clara took a deep breath and waited slowly to normalize her nervousness and fear.
It wasn't just Reyhan who was in this row of shelves. There are still some men and women who look for and read books not far from Reyhan.
Clara's footsteps were already moving closer to Reyhan rhythmically with her increasingly crazed heartbeat. However, when Clara was about to get close to Reyhan, her steps stopped again.
“Sister Reyhan, may I ask for help to retrieve the book?” ask a long-haired girl. Her face looks beautiful, her lips look polished by pink lipgloss.
Instantly Clara turned around and picked up the origin of the book that was on the shelf, next to Clara's body. Pretending to read a book while Reyhan is busy helping a girl who seems to be a younger sibling.
Clara snorted angrily, Reyhan did not say much to the beautiful girl who asked for help, but he still picked up a book that was not possible to reach the little girl.
“What are you doing?” ask Lisya gnashy.
“Did you see Reyhan was busy helping that woman? I'd better pretend to read the book first,” whispered Clara very slowly making Lisya roll her eyes lazy.
“Alright, I will let you know when he is done,” Lisya said.
Clara still pretends to focus on reading a book that even she herself does not know what she is reading. Clara took the book to origin.
It didn't take long, Lisya had already gestured.
Without a second thought, Clara put her original book into the shelf, then immediately turned around.
Clara almost jumped when she found Reyhan standing one step ahead of her, staring at Clara.
Oh shit! Lisey! Why don't you tell me this cold man is so close! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit!
No more time, the opportunity is in sight. Amidst the swearing in her heart, Clara ventured to try to speak to Reyhan.
Clara was about to open her mouth to start the conversation but her mouth was clenched again when she saw Reyhan's eyes looking at her very coldly.
Clara froze back on the spot, she lowered her head instantly with perfectly rounded eyes, unable to resist Reyhan's aura of intimidation.
His tongue was like a mute, making a sound he could not. The strength he gathered before entering the library, as if it had evaporated just like that.
Reyhan passed Clara just like that when Clara was unable to make her voice at all.
“Clara! Clara!” call Lisya to try to resuscitate Clara. Lisya turned to Reyhan who had already walked away leaving the two of them.
“Rey, done?” asked Aldio who now appeared at the end of the shelf.
“Ya.”
Aldio turned his head and saw Clara standing looking down alone. “Dia why?”
“Don't mind him,” said Reyhan flatly then passed along with Aldio who previously only nodded in understanding.
Lisya stood before Clara. “Clara..?”
“Did you see it?" ask Clara. He raised his head to look at Lisya.
"He looks at me so cold! Why isn't she that cold to that woman but looking at me hatefully? Am I that bad? I also never bothered him before!” annoyed Clara tried to hold back her anger.
Clara wanted to cry. He was still conscious, unable to make a fuss in the library.
Lisya sighed heavily, looking at Clara pity. “I... also do not know Clara.. I also do not understand, you have to find out what makes Rey so do not like you.”.
Clara scratched her head in a huff. “I've never even met him other than because of you,” annoyed Clara.
.
.
It doesn't feel like a few days have passed. Lately Reyhan felt too often to see Clara around him made him more angry.
Reyhan was about to walk to the laboratory, but he had to stop his steps when he found Clara reading a tusk not far from him. A few days earlier, Clara had even appeared wherever Reyhan was. In the cafeteria, in the perpus, in the teacher's room, in the school garden, even where Reyhan stood there must have been Clara.
“Rey, why are you so unfriendly to that woman? Aren't many other women also approaching you? Not only him?” ask Eros curious.
“Is that?” reyhan asked, not caring.
“Hm... It seems obvious you don't like it very much,” said Aldio, Eros chuckled small.
"I think she's pretty, even though she's not a popular kid" Eros added.
"True, he's pretty good" Aldio continued.
Reyhan did not reply to the conversation of his friends, he just resumed his meal.
Because of all the women who tried to get close to me, only she bullied me so much.
The next day at break time. Lisya and Clara walked through the school ceremonial grounds, when they saw a ponytail girl running towards Reyhan who was standing looking waiting for the woman.
“What are they?” ask Clara.
“Clara... follow them!” tell Lisya when she sees Reyhan walking after the ponytail lady, who looks excited in front of Reyhan.
"Eh?? " it was a wonder Clara heard Lisya's voice suddenly turn cold.
