RED STAINS OF LOVERS

TAKE ME WITH YOU

***

He put his cell phone back in his pants pocket after receiving a call from someone. Yuan immediately left his office even though he hadn't been here long. It reaped a lot of questions from its employees and also om Hari.

The man asked but Yuan was like he had not heard, he continued to walk hurriedly towards the parking lot.

"Where'd the kid go?" he muttered alone and then took a deep breath, hoping nothing bad would happen. He understood very well the slightly stubborn and determined character of Yuan.

Yuan arrived at the park and went straight down looking for Clara's whereabouts. Apparently the one who called him earlier was the one who ordered him to find out the whereabouts of Clara.

Yuan's steps came to a halt as his eyes caught the female figure that made him uneasy. Clara was crouching while rubbing rabbits that were indeed left free to roam.

"You're so funny it's so jolly." Clara sat down on the grass and grabbed the rabbit as she stroked it.

Yuan smiled, slowly swinging his legs towards Clara.

"You're hungry, you're sorry. But I don't take food …"

"Mara ..."

Clara was stunned then raised her face, and her tongue seemed to be stuck, her face suddenly turning pale.

"You-you .." The rabbit on his lap slipped involuntarily, his chest rumbling mixed between longing and hate. Almost 2 months more he can avoid the man now they meet again.

"It's me, I'm looking everywhere for you. Clara, why do you keep avoiding me?" Yuan was about to approach, but Clara raised her hand.

"Stop! Don't come any closer!" Clara stood up and was about to leave, but Yuan's hand moved faster clutching Clara's body. Clara rebelled, beating and clawing at the man's back.

"I hate you!" Clara hit the back of the man who was hugging her.

"I'm not going to let you go. I love you, Clara. I'll take responsibility." The man hugged even though Clara kept beating him on the back.

But the man felt no pain. Clara's claw was nothing compared to the pain she gave the girl.

"lik! Sister lying. I hate brother. Unhand me!"

"Take him off!" Zidan's shout managed to make Yuan's embrace weaken, and the opportunity was exploited by Clara to break away and run towards Zidan, taking cover behind her wide back.

"Are you okay?" Zidan was very worried that something might happen to Clara.

Clara shook her head while sobbing. "I'm not papa, Zi." Clara clutched Zidan's arm firmly as if asking for protection.

"I'm scared, Zi."

"No fear, there is me." Zidan turned his gaze towards the man earlier.

Yuan turned his body to face Zidan.

"You …?" Zidan couldn't believe his vision. His brain thought hard. 

Yuan said he would be responsible, if so the man who had destroyed Clara's future was Yuan, the lover of Adelia-a friend of Clara.

"Ck, you again. I have nothing to do with you. Give me Clara!!" Yuan said it cynically and glared his sharp eyes towards Zidan.

"No will. You have hurt him. Better stay away from Clara and don't disturb her life again!"

Yuan laughed at Zidan's pretentious speech as a bad luck hero to Clara.

"Are you ready Clara dares to rattle him?"

"I'm his friend."  

'The friend who loves secretly' Zidan continued in his heart.

"Huh, buddy? So just friends?"

Zidan did not reply, he clasped Clara's hand tightly as if afraid of the girl being snatched by Yuan.

"You love Clara, don't you?" continued Yuan still stared at Zidan full of hostility.

"Yes, I love Clara and will marry her. Any issues?"

Deg ….

Clara was silent looking at Zidan who was also staring at her, the two of their neutrals met. Clara was looking for earnestness in the eagle's eyes maybe Zidan was just acting as usual, but Clara found nothing but earnestness in Zidan's eyes.

Zidah loves him? Since when? Why did he never realize it? Why did Zidan never say it? 

Various guesses now flashed in Clara's mind making her head dizzy. Clara gripped Zidan's arm tightly to maintain the balance of her body that was beginning to lose consciousness.

"Great, apparently you want to be a bad luck hero? Clara's mine, she's been tarnished by me so let me take responsibility."

"But Clara doesn't want to be with you, so you better go and don't disturb her life anymore. Clara's been suffering a lot because of you." Zidan was very furious, if he did not remember them where must have been beaten up by a man who did not know himself.

Yuan snorted in annoyance, both of his hands clenched, his jaws hardened with anger.

"Don't block my good intentions. Let me take Clara home. Give Clara to me." Yuan approached, but Zidan took a few steps back.

"Don't force me to be violent!" 

Yuan did not understand Zidan's threat, his steps continued to swing until they were now only 2 meters away.

"STOP! Don't force me, Brother, if Big Brother continues forward I won't hesitate to hit Big Brother!"

Yuan smiled smick, to him Zidan was just a child who had nothing to scare him. His feet continued to move slowly but surely.

Zidan continued to retreat by still holding Clara's hand, actually his hand was already itching to hit Yuan, but was held back. He did not want to make Clara fear and hate him because Clara hated men who were temperament, only relying on muscles not the brain. Clara hates it all. He doesn't want it when it happens.

"Stop, Brother Yuan, otherwise I will call the citizens!"

Yuan did not care, he kept moving both legs and Zidan always backed away.

"Give Clara to me!"

"No! I don't want to come with you! I hate you! Zi, please take me away from here. I don't want to go with him." Clara sobbed, she really did not want to go with Yuan. Just looking at him made him feel disgusted at himself.

How could he have been so resigned to the arms of a jerk who never appreciated him? How can he fall in love with a man who lowers his self-esteem? He was stupid, unable to hold himself back. Why does the love still exist even though he hates it? Wh why?

"Clara please forgive me, come with me. I'll ask your father to marry us. I love you, Clara. Really," said Yuan. Clara's heart suddenly warmed.

Does Yuan really love him? But what about Adelia who also loved the man so much? Couldn't he hurt his own best friend? But she also loved Yuan, and there was that boy in her womb.

Clara's dilemma. He doesn't know how to.

"Clara please come with me, I will marry you. I promise I won't hurt you. I love you, Clara, "please Yuan again, a voice so firm and full of confidence.

Clara was getting more dilemma, her heart again shook to hear the words of love from Yuan. If to be honest he still loves the man very much, a sense of disappointment and hate was not able to erode his feelings for the man who is now standing in front of him with a compassionate face.

Clara looked at Zidan, and Zidan looked at her. Zidan sees no doubt in Clara's beautiful bead. He knew that Clara still loved Yuan.

"Go, may you be happy." Slowly put down Clara's hand on her arm, smiling.

"I'm going yes. Take good care of yourself, remember me that you need a shoulder to lean on." Zidan slowly walked back, smiling as he waved at Clara.

"Drug." Zidan turned his back, he didn't want Clara to see if there was a puddle of water in both of his eyes.

"Zidan," called Clara, but Zidan continued to step up just waving his hand without turning towards Clara.

Be ill. So hurt. The first love that he had so long ago had to end very tragically. Disappointed? Of course he was disappointed, but he couldn't do anything. Love cannot be forced, it cannot prevent his heart from falling in love with Clara and vice versa, he cannot force Clara to love him.

Clara loves Yuan. Clara's heart was not for him, but for the man.

Suddenly someone clasped his hand, Zidan turned his head.

"Bring me with you!"
