SENSITIVE LOVE

.

After school, Steven only notices Clara from afar as the girl walks home to the dorm with her friends. Steven could see a sad look on that face even though his attitude had not changed. Steven grabbed his phone and sent him a message. From a distance he saw Clara open her message, but she did not reply. Eventually, Steven called her.

"Look at 6 o'clock .. I'm waiting for you here" Steven said before disconnecting.

Clara stopped her steps to turn her head in the direction Steven mentioned. His friends did not ask because they understood after following Clara's gaze. Clara walked slowly towards Steven, she could see her steps were a little hesitant.

"What's wrong with you?" steven asked as they sat on a long bench in the back garden of the school.

"Why me?" clara asked back with an expression made as usual as possible.

Steven looked at her, trying to understand. But her genius brain was troubled, she seemed frustrated herself. In any case he never had any trouble, but this time he really felt very stupid for not understanding.

"If there's no more .. I want to go to the dormitory." said Clara and slowly got up.

"Can you not trust me?" I asked Steven suddenly.

Clara turned around and looked at him. He nodded slowly before sitting back down. They still look at each other. Trying to understand each.

"Aren't you the one who doesn't believe me?"

Steven seemed to be struck by that sentence even though his face was flat. He shifted his gaze for a moment in the other direction before chuckling while scratching his eyebrows with a finger as he understood his new foolishness knowing the cause of Clara's attitude like this.

"Clara, there are things that should not be said. There are better things unknown even though we're close, it's for your good."

Clara looked down, she finally understood. Steven is not an easy person to open up to anyone. Not disrespecting her as she had previously thought, but for reasons Clara did not know.

"Then let's start getting to know each other well first" Clara said, deciding to try to enter Steven's world slowly.

"We already know each other." said Steven confused.

"How do you begin with this question, do you have a brother?"

Steven looked at her for a long time before replying, guessing what this girl who always made him fret.

"Jawab only," urged Clara.

"An only child."

"If I had two sisters. One male and one female. I'm the first kid. Next ... What is your hobby?"

"Nothing."

"No way, call it one of your favorite activities" he forced.

Steven thought for a moment, he shook his head again because there was nothing he really liked. Makes Clara pout. "Where there are people who do not have hobbies, it is very strange. Then .... lately what activities do you like?"

With a faint smile on his lips, Steven replied, "Look at you, bother you and watch over you."

Clara was silent with a reddened face. Steven widened his smile. Because of his anxiety he could not resist stroking his head and pinching his cheek.

"Flame! this can be called a hobby. Another question! Hmm. .. did you previously have someone__"

"You're the first one" Steven cut as he knew what Clara's question meant. Clara looked down and nodded.

"Then ... What makes you like me?"

Steven laughed at the question. Once again, the laughter fascinated Clara. Very sweet and makes the opium of people who see it.

"Why are your eyes so glowing right now, hmm? Fall on my charm?" goda Steven made Clara sober.

"Gee! just answer ...."

"Nothing."

"No excuses, baby. Even if your presence is the only one" Steven replied with a serious face. Clara fell silent, not knowing what else to say. Moreover, that affectionate call sounded very gentle to him.

"It's my turn now" said Steven. Clara just nodded.

"Have you ever liked Aldo for a moment?"

Hearing that Clara smiled as she shook her head.

"Sister Aldo was the first person to help me when I was bullied at this school. In the first grade, upperclassmen often did bullying and I was one of the victims. Aldo was already friends with his current fiancee, Kak Sindy. Sindy was very kind to me. I consider them my own brother. There is absolutely no exaggerated feeling. It's just that .. As time goes on, Brother Aldo is getting possessive of me. Even when their matchmaking was spread. He was getting away from Sindy and getting attached to me. It made me feel very guilty, until finally Kak Sindy chose to move. At that time ... when I realized that Kak Sindy had always liked Kak Aldo. Even when I confided about Aldo's behavior to him and how uncomfortable I was. .. I must have hurt him so much."

Steven rubbed Clara's lowered head. Clara showed her sadness.

"I understand" said Steven Kalem.

Clara lifted her head and looked at Steven with teary eyes. Makes Steven chuckle, feel funny looking at his face.

"His engagement didn't make you see me then?" Clara nodded in response.

"Don't antagonize Brother Aldo. I feel guilty for his feelings too. He's a good boy, I'm sure he's just misunderstood you" Clara said with a pleading face.

Knowing this fact made Steven feel even more relieved. Even when the request was said he did not feel as angry as before. From the beginning he knew Aldo was not a petty person, but he also knew, love can turn a good person into evil. Therefore to make Clara calm she nodded. Different from the opposite head.

They split up when Steven received a message from Sam. Arriving at the parking lot, the others were leaning on Bobby's car to wait for him.

"It's over?" asked Sam who looked worried. Because they know Steven since then looks not calm. Sam first realized the cause was not Arnold's appearance, but Clara's.

They arrive at a large house but look unkempt. Lots of bushes around the yard. The main door of the house opened and a group of men, most of them older. Steven certainly didn't know them, before the familiar Arnold emerged from the back of the crowd with some friends from Singapore.

Steven knew that Arnold deliberately sought an ally first before confronting him. Because there is no way he can master a place without an insider first.

"It's nice to run like Steve's coward! It's not like you" Arnold said in English.

"So he ... are you looking for?" ask boys their age.

"Yes, he's the one I'm looking for" Arnold replied with eyes full of hatred and resentment.

Steven looked at the child beside Arnold with a judging look. Not too high, the skin is typical of Indonesia. A wicked grin was clearly visible on his face. The type who likes to do troublemaking and likes to fish in murky water. That's what Steven can conclude at the moment.

"They're just four?" ask Saga.

He slowly burst out before finally laughing loudly followed by his men. Arnold did not laugh, his feet completely unaffected by Saga's arrogant chatter. So did seven friends he brought from Singapore. They certainly will not choose to laugh when they know for sure what the figure of Steven so far. So too with his friends who cannot be underestimated. Although currently the ratio of their number is 1 in 7.

"Say!" arnold loudly, stop all laughter. "The reason you killed my sister" continued Arnold with hardened jaws. Saga who was standing next to him instantly turned his head with a shocked face. "Mem-killing?," he repeated in disbelief.

"I didn't kill him" Steven replied calmly.

Arnold advanced alone and clutched the collar of his uniform shirt, looking at him nyalang with reddened eyes.

"How come? How could you be a traitor! Destroy my sister and run!" snapped Arnold.

Neither Sam nor the others actually knew what was happening exactly. Arnold's younger brother is found dead in the room Steven used in their base, with traces and evidence pointing to him. Arnold is a man from the underworld, reports the police will not settle his grudge. Just gonna drag him to jail 'cause the cops can smell his criminal trail.

"I didn't do it" said Steven, again very calm.

So with heightened emotions, Arnold let go of his check and reached into his pocket. Take out the gun and point it at Steven right in his head.

"Hey Bro! You didn't say there was going to be a kill!" saga shouted looking worried. Saga was pushed back by the herd of Arnold backwards so he fell silent.

"Steve," whispered Teddy who stood closest to him. They seem very worried about him. Steven still had his calm face. Tampa expression at all.

"Please say goodbye to the world" whispered Arnold and fired one shot.
