Clarissa was silent looking at her current phone screen. There was a video call from Mahen. Someone he really wanted to avoid.
He could only stare at his phone screen with a blank look. He held his hand with all his might so as not to touch his cellphone.
But deep inside him, he was eager to press that green-colored button.
"I'm sorry Caca Kak" said Clarissa then prefer to throw her cellphone into any place.
He went downstairs to dinner. There was a father and his mother.
"Pa night, ma" said Clarissa then sat in her chair.
"Pa" call Clarissa.
"Hmm" said Syam but with his hands still busy with the tab screen in front of him.
"Clarissa wants to learn business" Clarissa said.
Sham was silent for a moment, he took off the tab in his hand then looked at the only child.
"Are you sure, baby? papa is very happy to hear it" said Syam.
Clarissa nodded steadily.
"Yes pa. But in exchange, papa returned the street child basecamp and Clarissa wanted to change schools" Clarissa said.
He thought everything through carefully. He won't be able to meet Mahen again. He won't be able to stay away from her. The only way for him to focus on running a business as well as school is this.
"Okay deal, For school you can take home schooling" said Syam. Clarissa shakes.
"No pa, Clarissa wants to move abroad. Clarissa had thought about it carefully, Clarissa wanted to hold one of the branches of papa company in Singapore. While studying business there" said Clarissa.
"Are you sure, baby?" Kirana asked who seemed unwilling if she had to go far with her only child.
"Yes Ma" said Clarissa.
"Yes if that's what you want. When are you going to start?" Ask Sham.
"Tomorrow Clarissa will go straight to Pa" said Clarissa.
"Darling, you must have left mom so soon. Wait a week or a month. Mama is not ready" Kirana said with eyes that look wet. He never imagined going far with his son like this. It was too sudden, he thought.
"The sooner the better Ma. Clarissa will definitely be back. After Clarissa succeeds, Clarissa will pursue Clarissa's happiness here" Clarissa said. The words that Clarissa spoke had a deep meaning.
Kirana quite understood what Clarissa meant. He also could not bear to see his son cry every day. Withstanding a burden he thinks is not yet time for a kid of Clarissa's age.
"Alright, but remember to always VC the same Mama. Otherwise mom will catch up with you there" Kirana said.
Syam is silent. He seemed to be thinking of something that only he knew. But his eyes implied such a heavy burden of thought.
"Yes, let's eat first" said Mama.
They all ate in silence.
"What choice I made was right. Would I be willing if I had to sacrifice my youth by learning the business that must be so sickening later. Can I go far with my mom and dad. I don't see Nadin anymore. Don't see the king's gang. I will definitely miss fighting with Sindi. Is Mahen going to be angry with my decision. Am I being selfish?"
every sentence was dancing in Clarissa's head at this moment. It was hard to leave everything behind.
