The headmaster gave the day off because of Steven's success in winning the gold medal and becoming the general champion of the mathematics olympics. The plan is to represent Indonesia internationally. Steven still has WNA status. She is a Singaporean citizen where her mother lives. Therefore the school is trying to take care of it to the knowledge of Steven. The school involved only his father. There was actually a communication error. Because Steven's father thought his son already knew, so he didn't ask again.
Steven was gathering with his friends in the school garden, he was sitting with a book in his hand. He is actually very bored because he cannot disturb Clara. The girl was busy with the members of OSIS who were taking care of the activities of the organization.
From a distance, he saw Clara walking with a girl, as if they were going to the school gate. Curious Steven followed her. His friends who saw what he did also did the same.
Clara kept going out the gate to the supermarket, occasionally she was seen talking seriously with her friend. Until someone came up to him and made Steven fixated on his feet. He even kept his visibility and hid himself a little. Wanna see what happens.
"Meet again, Clara."
"Pick up! Yeah, does Brother live near here?"
Arnold nodded, clearly lying. Some days he was waiting for the moment and deliberately came every day to get there. He stared at Clara intensely. Makes Clara feel uncomfortable again.
"Want to look for something?" ask Arnold.
"Yes, we're in need of equipment for the mading. Hmm then excuse me." replied Clara and pulled her friend away.
But his friend just stayed in place, staring at Arnold with a radiance of admiration. Make Clara drag him.
Arnold himself actually does not really understand the Sakura sentence because of his bad Indonesian language. So he just took a step, "May I have your phone number?" pinta Arnold, hold Clara's arm to prevent her from leaving.
"Hmm, That_ "
"Don't get me wrong, I just want to make friends because I'm new" Arnold said.
Clara could clearly tell right away because Arnold spoke a foreign accent and was still mixed between English and Indonesian.
"I don't think I'm going to allow it."
Steven had already stood a few steps away from them. Walking with his sharp eyes. Staring coldly at Arnold and a frightening look. Arnold, who was momentarily shocked, regained control. Staring at Steven with a highlight is no less frightening. Arnold's friends who had been waiting for him in front of the supermarket immediately moved, standing behind him. The atmosphere became very stressful.
"You know this killer?" ask Arnold to Clara.
"Killer-Killer?" repeat Clara with a face of shock.
"You don't know? she was so. .. always hiding behind her beautiful mask." Cold and sharp. Although he was talking to Clara, his eyes were still staring at Steven.
"You must be wrong, Steven wasn't like that" Clara said in a nervous voice. At least he began to fear being in a situation that anyone could suspect that these two people were hostile to each other.
"From Clara," Steven ordered coldly.
"Why should he obey a murderer like you?" sergeant Arnold. But Steven was silent, his eyes focused on Clara.
"Clara, didn't I ask for your phone number?" arnold continued, now he reached out his phone so that Clara type her number there.
Meanwhile, the word killer swirled in his head. He made his legs wobbly and he felt scared.
Clara looked at Steven who was unmoved. Clara wanted to ask for a confession from the look in her eyes but Steven was silent. He reluctantly grabs Arnold's phone and types his number quickly. After that, he returned the phone and passed from there with mixed feelings. He doesn't know what's right when Steven just keeps quiet.
"Let's go, it's not good to be troublemaking near this elite school. What's more with the kids in uniform" Arnold said before leaving the place as his friends also began to gather.
"How do they know each other?" asked Sam who had stood a few steps away from Steven.
"You think Arnold knows their relationship?" ask Bob in a worried tone. Both just shrugged their shoulders.
The three of them did not dare to disturb Steven who did not budge from his place. His eyes kept on Clara. Even as their feet were quite aching waiting, Steven remained in place.
Until Clara and her friend came out of the supermarket with a load of groceries. Steven with his flat face looked at Clara who looked surprised when he saw her still there. I didn't think Steven was waiting for him.
"Sin, you go first" Clara asked slowly. His understanding friend just nodded and passed from there.
"Why is it still here?"
"Waiting for you."
"For what? Let's go back to school" Clara said and started walking. Steven grabbed his wrist. Take the groceries and hand them to Sam. Then drag Clara from there in a taxi.
"You're nothing Steve! It's still school hours and I'm waiting!" sewot Clara's.
"No!" push Clara hard.
Steven looked over and looked at her sharply. His hands stretched out in front of Clara's face.
"Give it or I take it forcibly," quietly and coldly, Steven seemed to be on the verge of his patience. Clara who was starting to get scared finally reached into her pocket and gave her phone.
"What do you want to do with ... STEVEN!" clara shouted at the end when she saw her phone thrown away so that it made a breaking sound on the asphalt.
Tampa said whatever, Clara lowered her head and began to rebuke. He was upset but Steven said nothing more after throwing away his phone. Even his face remained flat and cold, there was not the slightest bit of guilt.
They arrived at a city park. Steven got out after paying for a taxi. Clara was still hiccupping but still followed in her footsteps.
Steven grabbed his phone and sent a message to someone. After that he just shifted his attention to Clara who was still crying behind him.
Tampa said whatever, she wiped Clara's tears and carried her into her arms. She brushed her hair and held it tight even though Clara began to rebel and beat her back. Take out all his frustration.
"Hikhik! I saved up for that phone for a long time. Hik hik hik!" clara said at the end of the hiccup. His head was still drowning in Steven's chest.
"Why just shut up! Why are you doing that! What wrong!" annoyed Clara with her hoarse voice.
"Jealous."
Steven finally spoke even though he had only one word. Make Clara quiet. The two were silent for quite a while until Steven returned speaking in a soft and low tone.
"Because I don't know the right way to be jealous" he said.
"You're a stupid genius!" clara was full of frustration. Steven chuckled softly. He finally let go of his embrace when a car stopped near them.
Someone got out of there and walked over to Steven. Mature man in an office suit. He handed Steven a paper bag and opened the car door for them. The confused Clara only follows Steven who again drags her away.
"Where do you want to go, sir?" ask the man.
"Why did you come, where's Jun?" ask Steven. All he wanted was Jun. One of his other right hands. But the one who came was his friend who used to be Jun's assistant in carrying out his orders.
"He is sick sir, being treated in the hospital," he replied.
"Take us to a Korean restaurant, I want to eat kimci."
"Okay sir," the man replied respectfully and passionately.
Steven gave the paper bag to Clara and told her to open it. Clara who was confused from now on just complied. While taking the contents of the bag, he glared and looked at Steven with his face of shock.
"That's changing your phone that I broke. Don't give anyone your number without my permission. Except for family, or I'd be crazier than I was."
"But this is too expensive! What if your parents knew you spent a lot of money on this?"
"Just calm down, they won't know."
"But ... But that's called lying Steve! That's not good to know! I can't accept this!" Steven glanced at her, not expecting Clara to reject such an expensive item from him.
Steven was a little confused to explain this. The fact that he buys with his own money is a secret. Clara with a kind nature at once stubborn so make him dizzy.
"I don't waste money, my parents don't bother about things like this. So just calm down. Just put it on and follow what I say," said Steven patiently.
Clara looked at him doubtfully, but Steven with a special look of his eyes made Clara forced to accept it.
"Remember not to give your number__"
"I understand, ish!" cut Clara. He started to pull out the phone and turn it on. Just brain him up for a bit before saving it again.
Clara glanced at him with a doubtful face, there were many things inside her head that she wanted to ask. But seeing Steven's reaction when he met Arnold made him doubtful.
"I know your little brain is full of questions. But it's not the time to talk about it. I'm hungry and want to eat."
See, Steven's always guessing right what he wants to do and think. Clara swore in her heart how easy it was to read. Steven who saw his upset face only smiled for a moment before turning his gaze out the window. There were a lot of things in his head as well. Especially Arnold who seems to be interested in his lover. Arnold's not a difficult problem, it's a complicated one. Because Steven's not the one who slashed it like he saw the situation.
He and Arnold used to be partners and they were pretty close to each other. Even Arnold once saved him from an enemy trap. Arnold only misunderstood, but his misunderstanding made him do evil things. Steven doesn't like dirty. That was the principle long ago. He likes to play clean and careful. He's not the type to justify all means. Sometimes he is crazy enough to make a decision.
