RED STAINS OF LOVERS

WEIRDO

***

Clara turned her face to the side as the man sitting behind the wheel glanced at her from the inner rearview mirror. His heart was still sad to see the man smile.

Not what? The more the man who had not introduced himself smiled, the more it made his heart row. His chest was pounding like a drum that was being pounded. 

What's wrong with her? Falling love?

Ah, how could he fall in love with someone whose name doesn't even know. But really this man if he is smiling is very sweet even though his face looks very annoying.

'Oh, my God, what the hell am I thinking? I could think of nothing' for Clara in my heart.

 

"Oh yes, my name is Yuan Angga Wijaya. Just call Yuan!" Yuan introduced himself to Adel and Clara.

Adel smile. "I'm Adelia, and the one behind that is my best friend. Called Clara. Oh yes, Brother Yuan went to college there or ..." Adelia's sentence came to a halt when she saw Yuan's sweet smile expand.

Adelia lost her words, her throat was choked and her voice did not come out.

'O Lord her smile was so sweet.' Adel said in his heart, as soon as the girl forgot the wound on her palm, changing her heart which was now pounding incoherently. 

For a while Adelia was glued to the God next to her.

"No, I've been working. It was just a passing coincidence." Yuan replied still smiling.

Adel responded with a nod. In his heart Adel prayed that Yuan did not have a girlfriend so he had a chance to become Yuan's girlfriend.

"Is it like your hand isn't hurting?" tanya Yuan glanced at Adelia's hand at a glance.

Adelia looked at his hand. "Lumayan, it didn't hurt like that."

"Are you still going to the hospital or going for a walk?"

"Hey, Dude! You are blind, right? My friend is sick not for a picnic!" sela Clara sewot, her heart was not playing on the man who was glancing at her. Despite knowing Yuan was only joking, he was very upset.

"I'm just asking why are you so fierce, miss? If Miss is so fierce later there is no man who wants to be close."

Adelia chuckled at hearing it. "Tuh, dreadin, Cla, you will not do it if you are fierce," said Adelia. Clara is getting more upset, instead of defending herself because Adelia had mocked him actually mocking him.

Clara threw her face to the side again, her admiration for Yuan suddenly turned even more upset.

"Our aim is to go home, but before that we take Clara to her house first. Yuan doesn't mind, does he?" adelia said softly and a smile never vanished from her lips. Of course that was a great surprise to Clara. Doesn't Adelia usually talk to strangers? Especially a man? 

"Okay, but show me the way?"

Adelia nodded. The chatter continued but Clara only listened, her heart getting annoyed at the man she just knew.

***

"Adel, is it okay to be driven home alone? If I want to take you home?" Clara glanced at Yuan from behind the windshield as she was about to descend. 

All I see is smiling.

"No, Cla, I'm okay. Anyway if you go elo bokap elo later nyariin, if you don't have ntar ngamuk again."

Adelia understands very well the nature of her best friend's father, besides being drunk, Darma is also angry. Clara must always be there to serve him. 

Clara smiled wryly. "Yes already. If there's anything elo call me yes!" Look at that guy again. Yuan smiled again, knowing that the beautiful girl was worried about her best friend.

"Calm down, miss, I'm not a bad person. I'll take this sweet little Miss's best friend home with nothing less, whole."

Adelia's two cheeks instantly blushed hearing the praise of the man who had stolen her heart. Adelia noticed the change in her best friend's face.

Clara came down and slammed the car door until it read 'BRUUG'.

"Your friend is fierce, yes, unlike you who are friendly and sweet," Yuan praised once again after the car returned to running. For the second time Adelia's face again blushed. 

"Sister Yuan was wrong, quite the opposite. Usually I'm the fierce friendly Clara. She had a lot of problems eating her like that" Adelia honestly did not lose her smile.

'Crazy, am I really in love with this? Oh, Allah, how beautiful is this?' inner Adelia. It's the first time he's fallen in love with a man, and oddly enough they've only known each other for less than two hours, really weird isn't it?

"Hu 'um. Clara lives with her gambling-loving father who is also drunk. Clara was amazing, after coming home from college she had to work in a cafe until midnight," explained Adelia, the girl forgot if she shouldn't tell the privacy of her best friend to others. Especially to strangers. But I don't know, Adelia just wanted to chat during the trip to her house.

"Oh Yeah?"

"Hu'um."

"His mother?"

"His mother died after giving birth to Clara" Adelia said.

"It's so sorry."

"Yes, I help her a lot."

Actually Adelia wanted to keep chatting, but was afraid to impress her aggressively. So Adelia chose silence, only her heart was still stuck-thumped noisy noiseless.

"Thank you, Brother Yuan already wants to nganter. Want to stop by first?" Adelia offers Yuan to stop by when the car arrives in front of a towering gate with a very grand house inside, compared to Clara's very modest home.

"Thank you, but I still have an appointment with a friend. Next time, huh?" replied Yuan kindly.

Adelia came down and waved at the car that Yuan was driving away from. 

"What did he say? Next time? Then we'll see you again dong? Yes ..." he murmured a smile and then walked in.

***

After changing her clothes to house clothes, Clara went to the kitchen to make her father's sleeping coffee before he went to work. That's what he used to do because his father would soon wake up and ask for coffee. 

I don't know, although fierce and often troublesome Clara, but she still serves her father. Clara hates Darma but she also loves the middle-aged man. Darma is all he has in this world.

"So seriously reading Miss?"

Clara was aghast then raised her face, more aghast when she saw Yuan standing leaning against the wide-open door, hands crossed over her chest, smiling sweetly at her.

"You? What the hell are you doing here? Want to ask for service money? I don't have any money." Clara's real tightness just to cover up her nervousness. I don't know, he always just looks at Yuan's smile every time. 

Yuan lowered his hand, walked towards him then sat in front. 

"Ck ck ck, don't be ferocious Miss will be beautiful. I didn't come here to ask for money but to buy bread. After all, don't always judge the goodness of a person by material things."

Oh yes, in addition to working at the cafe Clara also opened a small shop to increase income but not every day open, only if he has not gone to work or is on vacation.

That sentence managed to silence Clara. Clara was like being thrown to the bottom of the deepest abyss. He felt bad for having accused the no-no to a good man who drove him home.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean .. what did you want to buy?" This time Clara's voice was softer than before. 

Yuan smiled sweetly back at him, don't ask how upset Clara was now.

'Why do I get so noisy anyway? Relax Clara, slow.  Breathe in, exhale slowly' Clara took her breath in.

"White water equals bread."

Clara got up from her seat, took a bottle of drink as well as a few packs of bread, put it in a scraping bag.

"Twenty thousand."

Yuan reached into the pocket of his shirt, thrusting the green money at Clara, after which Yuan passed. Clara continued reading again but ...

"Mara ...."

"Yes ..."

"When do you come home? I picked you up at college!"

Not yet Clara replied but Yuan was gone. 

"Basic freak," he muttered then smiled.
