My girlfriend, my mother's boyfriend

Chapter 5's

Clara was obediently taken by Angkasa where she liked. They arrived at a cafe, a place that Angkasa said was delicious. "There's something I want to talk to you about, so we'll find a nice place to talk. You don't papa if you stop by first?"

"No papa" he said softly. He has to keep his attitude, not get too excited, but he can't. He was so excited when he was with Space. Though the man's attitude is not warm, even very quiet, but why Clara wants to be close to him.

Space ordered two steaks for them, without offering or asking Clara what she wanted.

Clara is no problem. Whatever the man ordered Clara would have liked. "Ehem.., Cla, there's something I want to tell you. I know you might think this is absurd, but it's actually happening. A week I've been distancing myself from you, not contacting you just to make sure I feel what I'm feeling right now."

Clara stopped her mouthful. His stomach was not hungry at all, but to appreciate Angkasa he ate it occasionally. But now he's getting less and less anxious to eat, just wanting to hear Angkasa talk to him.

The man's charm had completely hypnotized Clara. She liked him a lot, even according to Clara, she already loved the man. Love at first sight.

"Cla, I like you, and I want you to be my girlfriend."

Clara, who sucked up her drink, almost sputtered back out through the nose.

It's impossible, can't it be that fast? He shot me dong...

"Cla, how come you're dumb? hows it? You want to be my girlfriend?" ask Space for a little urgency. He has to get the girl, no matter what.

Clara can what? this is in line with his expectations. But he didn't expect it so soon. Again he observed the face of Angkasa, who knows this is just a joke of the man. However, looking at the look in the man's eyes, who was still waiting for an answer from this, Clara knew this was serious.

"Are you ashamed, dating someone much older than you? Afraid to say the same Om-om way, huh?"

"Huh? That's not. I want to. Just don't expect it, you're shooting me this fast. Even I don't care about dating you, your ex must be pretty, huh?"

Silent space. Jaw hardens. Clara had already reminded him of the person he currently hated the most, as well as the one he missed the most. The woman who had been able to make him forget his pride, met his father in Australia, just to realize the wishes of the former. But after all his sacrifices, what did Space get? A betrayal!

"Kasa Mas?"

Clara's voice jerked her daydream. Back that anger in the key in the chest in his heart. He must focus on getting his goal.

"Eh, why?"

"I asked, why did you shoot me so quickly. Mas Kasa really like it or just mess with me?"

"I... I like your name."

Clara was not smiling. Since then, I don't know how many times he rolled to the left and to the right on his bed while hugging his Doraemon doll.

Now he is legally dating Angkasa. And that was more than enough to restore his mood and supposition of his dismal life since his father's marriage. There's nothing happier than that.

"This, Mas," said Tiara scooping the fish onto Agus' plate. Clara had glanced at the brief romantic scene, she saw the look on her father's face that was happy because it received attention from Tiara. There was sadness that he felt. For a long time his father did not look so excited and excited like this.

His face radiated the happy glow he had seen when his mother was still around. Clara wondered in her heart, was it true that Tiara was the right choice for her father? Was he supposed to also accept the presence of Tiara in this family?

"Cla, you eat a lot too, huh? It's me cooking. Cobain." Tiara's voice broke her daydream. The woman had even put the fish on her plate.

This time Clara was neither angry nor showing any hostile attitude. Little by little he realized one thing, maybe his father had been lonely, needed a storymate especially need a wife who can take care of his needs.

After all, Clara also already had a partner, which would definitely take up less time for her father. That's the life cycle. All humans will be reunited with their partners. Alright, maybe Clara no longer needs to disturb the existence of Tiara in this house.

***

Clara remembers that Tonight she had an appointment with Space. He said the man wanted to take him to his friend's birthday party, and probably would come home late. It's the first time Clara is going away and going home late at night, especially with a man, so she thinks she should have permission on her father first.

He went down to look for his father who was sitting alone with his stepmother, enjoying the news that is currently going viral, the shooting of a police officer.

"Pa, I'll let you go out tonight, okay?"

"Where to?" Ask Agus gently. Although slowly he knew his daughter's attitude was more accepting of Tiara. Not looking for a commotion like every day he did to his wife. So, she did not want to make Clara's mood deteriorate due to forbidding her from leaving.

"Night Sunday."

"Same Vera?"

"No, same with my boyfriend," he said honestly. Let her father have betrayed their trust and promise to always be honest with each other, but Clara will not forget their promise.

"Do you have a boyfriend? Just a week of college here, papa's son already got a girlfriend? Ra, Clara's never been in a relationship before, this is her first boyfriend. It means your son is an adult. Papa will allow it, as long as you promise to take care of yourself."

"Yes, Pa" he said. As if to exchange permission, Clara promised to learn to accept the existence of Tiara. Maybe he was sincere with his father. If so, then he will be happy for them.

"Congratulations, Cla. Good luck."

"Thank you" he said, trying to smile. Still not completely sincere, but Clara promises to be nice to Tiara from now on.

"Tell him to take you home. Papa wants to meet him. Once you meet, papa sure can judge him, whether or not for you."

Clara simply nodded, then rushed into the room. He doesn't have time. At 7 only a few hours away, she had to rush to pick clothes, dress up and especially prepare her mentally.

Clara knows, Angkasa friends must be the same age as her, insightful and also very exclusive. He did not want to embarrass his girlfriend, because he was dating a second-semester student. Even their age was six years.

"Hello, Mas Kasa... Will you pick me up at home? Papa wants to see you."
