RED STAINS OF LOVERS

BECAUSE I CHOSE YOU

***

"I'm glad that you finally want to come with me. I promise after this I'll meet your father and ask him to marry us immediately." Yuan clasped Clara's hand, then dipped her.

Clara smiled. "What about Adel, brother? Adel loves you very much. I don't want to hurt him. He's my best friend from a long time ago." 

Clara does not want to hurt her best friend, but the baby in her womb also needs a father. She cannot raise her child alone without her husband.

"That's my business, let me explain to her, Adelia will understand. He's your best friend, he'll give me up for you."

Clara smiled again, and so did Yuan. After several weeks of searching for Clara, she finally found her. Yuan won't let go of Clara no matter what, Clara is his only possession.

Yuan did not let go of his grasp in the slightest as if afraid that Clara would leave again. They walked towards the parking lot where Yuan parked his car. He would bring Clara home to his father and ask Darma to marry them off immediately. 

Yuan knows Darma doesn't like him, but he loves Clara.

While in Clara's brain thinking of Zidan, the man's words continue to boil in memory.  Over the course of a few weeks they grew closer, and Zidan was always by his side fulfilling all of his sometimes unreasonable requests.

'Am I being so cruel to Zidan? Is this fair to him? He's been so nice to me, always there for me, but I hurt him. However, I also need Brother Yuan, he's my baby's father, he's more entitled to this baby, but he doesn't know I'm pregnant yet? Is she going to take the baby?'

Sorts of thoughts raging filled Clara's head. He was confused what to do? Is it true what he did? Isn't the choice wrong? 

Huh! Why is his life always so complicated?

"After we get married I won't let you work at that cafe again. You should focus on college! Just one more semester, right?"

The question managed to disperse Clara's daydream, she then turned to Yuan who was also looking at her. Clara smiled.

"Yes, Brother. Clara just sorted out what Kak Yuan said," Clara replied.

Yuan's smile was inflate perfectly. "Smart girl." Yuan kissed Clara's hand that was within her grasp.

"You can be a housewife, waiting for me to come home from work" Yuan said.

"Yes." Yeah."

They arrive at the parking lot, Yuan opens the car door for Clara. And when Clara was about to enter she saw Zidan's car still parked there. Clara fell silent.

'That's Zidan's car why he's still here, is he still in the park? What's he doing?'

Suddenly Clara was anxious, afraid that Zidan would act recklessly. End his life because he was disappointed in him? Oh my God, what should he do? Not only has he broken Zidan's heart, but he has also hurt Zidan.

"Why, let's go in!"

Clara gave up her grip on Yuan. "Sorry Brother, I can't go with Brother Yuan" he said weakly.

"Why? Are you you not marrying me?"

"That's not it. - I want to marry my sister, but I don't want to hurt Adel. Come back with Adel, brother, I'm sincere." 

"But …"

"Sorry, I have to go." Clara twisted her body and left Yuan who was still dumbfounded.

"So you prefer that boy over me?"

Clara stopped her steps, turning back to Yuan. The man's face turned red as if he was holding back anger. 

Well, Yuan is indeed angry. I don't know, he was confused why if it is related to Clara his emotions always go up quickly. What's the matter with him?

Clara was silent for a moment, she knew this decision was not the right one either, but she really felt guilty towards Zidan. Maybe because he knows what Zidan has been like all this time.

Living in an orphanage left him with a lack of affection. "I'm sorry Brother." Clara continued her steps.

"Clarah! Clara don't go! Clara!" yelled Yuan, but Clara ignored his call.

Clara was looking for Zidan here and there but had not met.

"Zidan, where are you, I'm sorry, Zi."

Clara is almost desperate, the park is wide enough to make it difficult to find the whereabouts of Zidan. Want to call him they haven't had time to exchange numbers because Clara changed her phone. He got the phone from his father who did not want Clara to be in contact with Yuan anymore.

"Oh yes, Zidan is a selebgram, surely people know him. Ah, well, why don't you just think about it, but I don't have to be tired like this?"

"Oh, that handsome selebgram huh, brother? Brother is also a fan of him, he was there." One of them answered and pointed in a direction, Clara followed with her eyes.

It looks like Zidan is being mobbed by his fans who ask to take pictures.

"Thank you, Deck."

"Wouldn't ask for a photo, would you? Here, I also took a photo with Brother Zidan." The teenage girl shows her phone, Clara just smiles and leaves after saying thank you.

Clara didn't come close, but waited until the Zidan fans left one after another. Clara looked at Zidan for a moment and then slowly approached, grabbed Zidan's fingers and grabbed him.

"Bring me home with you!"

"Clara, why are you here, which Yuan?" Zidan searches for the whereabouts of the man who took Clara from him, but he doesn't see it. Where's she?

"Why look for him? You don't like me here? Did I go?" Clara pretended to leave, but Zidan didn't take her hand off.

"Eh, no! Time is crumbling. I like it, I like it."

Clara pulled both corners of her lips to the side. 

"Clara," call Zidan down.

"Yes, why?"

"It's okay, just still can't believe you're here."

Their two eyes met, Zidan's outstretched hand tidying Clara's messy hair behind her ear. 

"Why did you come back?" continued Zidan, his eyes can not be separated from the face of Clara.

"Do you need to answer?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Clara let go of her grip, swung a step forward then turned to look at Zidan.

"Because I chose you. But sorry .. I can't love you yet, Zidan. Please teach me how to love you. I want to bury everything and open a new sheet with you."

Zidan was silent for a moment, he was so happy that he was unable to say anything but his two blurred-looking eyes.

"Yes, I'll teach you."

"Thank you very much, Zi."

***

Yuan regained his senses as soon as Clara had gone somewhere. He walks around looking for Clara but doesn't see her.

Yuan returned to the lake where he had met Clara, but the result was nil because Clara had left with Zidan.

"Dam. Watch out for you Clara, I'll definitely find you again. You cannot belong to anyone else. You can only be mine!"

Clara does not realize that the man she loves is a man full of ambition. Yes, the ambition to get Clara any way.

Yuan returned to the office with a very scary face, he ignored the employees who greeted him as they passed by. Yuan also scolded CS who was cleaning his room.

"Well, are you here? Out!" Crashing it hard. CS it came out trembling in fear.

"What else, Yuan? Why are you angry again? Is it because of that girl again?"

Om Hari walked into his room and immediately sat down in front of Yuan, his nephew just glanced at him at a glance then looked back at the glowing screen in his hand. Playing games.

"Yuan, you're an adult, don't be a child! If there's a problem solve it with a cold head!" Om Hari is back. 

Yuan stopped fiddling with his phone, keeping it on the table. That's right, he's not a kid anymore. He's 27 years old. 

Yuan took a heavy breath, then looked at Hari.

"The girl rejected me, Om."
