SENSITIVE LOVE

35

The morning Clara was pensive next to her father's grave. Sindy and Sinta. They calmed Clara as much as possible, who had been silent since last night. He doesn't want anyone's embrace, he just wants his dad. For him, everyone will leave. No one cares about him. He lost the only one who loved him. Went away in a difficult and unhappy situation due to him. Clara's regret piled up in anger. Her stepmother who always claimed to love her father left when her father's circumstances became difficult. What is love definition?

Now Clara wonders in her little brain, a guy like Steven who claims to love her, what is the definition of love for her? Putting himself in a state of choice. Clara was frustrated, again Steven who took care of the entire funeral costs through his subordinates. A new man named Willi met him, telling him everything about the completed pawnshop. The property of the shop and the house is entirely in his hands. Again Clara felt small and helpless. A mixed feeling over the existence of a man who currently has no ties whatsoever but controls his entire life. Even the love of his heart was always tarnished by anger and disappointment. Clara just wants her own life. Not controlled by others. He wanted to stand on his own feet and not owe anyone anything.

Meanwhile, Steven could not sleep and continued to be awake. Repeatedly wanting to go home. But again his brain won the war. Logically can't leave tomorrow's meeting. It's not a matter of money, but he does feel that if he comes home and Aston investigates the cause, Clara might be able to take part in his game later.

The next morning Steven was ready, even though he could only sleep for two hours. He looked quite refreshed as he descended to the bottom where Yuno was already waiting with the entire bodyguard.

When they came out, a man was waiting for them. A very formal greeting. Take their car to the meeting place.

They arrive at a building that Steven knows is a pharmaceutical drug research center from one of Aston's companies. They were led into the fifth floor. A little strange with this floor araitecture that seems closed from outside access.

"Welcome, Steven!"

Aston welcomed him in a friendly manner. Smiling intently and immediately leading them into the only iron door with Aston's own eyeball access code.

All those who went with him were not allowed to enter even Yuno. Only the two of them went inside. A place where at least ten people of different ages greeted them with different expressions.

"They are geniuses who work for me. That will create a new system for the world. Where we will rule over humans. Who deserves to live and who deserves to die. We also developed therapeutic formulas for various deadly diseases."

Steven saw different kinds of humans inside a glass tube. Living in a coma. There are even some babies. Steven tends to be hard and his heart is not easily touched, but it does not mean this scene does not disturb him.

"It is too soon to entrust me to your secret project" said Steven coldly, "It is too soon for you to try to resist the power of God, where life and death are not in our hands, Mr. Aston." Their views were met with a cold highlight and full of arrogance. Steven has boldly sparked the debate.

Aston smiled at the corner of his lips. With a wave of hands telling the people who were there to leave them. Now, Aston is fully facing Steven who is also following his movements.

"God didn't create our brains for Steven's futility. You and I have abilities that no one else has. We just can't waste it."

"What kind of ability do you mean?"

"We're like an automatic photocopier. Unlimited highest level intelligence system. If we want, we can rule this world."

Steven's eyeballs rolled into some of the study's victims. Feeling the strange turmoil centered on his stomach. At first glance, Steven's not a psychopath.

"They're just people with a low likelihood of living with no hope, your heart doesn't need to be disturbed."

His eyeballs looked back into that bright brown netra. Yeah, he understands now. The feeling he felt when he first met this man. Aston has a natural intelligence. A different level than the other geniuses. Infinite, that's what they are. Therefore, they can turn into crazy paikopaths if they use too much. Steven often felt the strange impulse when he used to follow the Olympics in Singapore. Satisfaction with recognition, so want more and more. Even to this day he still fights it. Aston is like any other replica. Unfortunately Steven grew up with the love of his mother, father and all his friends and teachers. Since childhood Steven has become an idol because of his intelligence. Because suppressing the evil side that appeared was not a difficult thing for him.

"You have love, sir?"

"What are you trying to say?" Aston is clearly starting to be unhappy. But Steven doesn't care.

"Family, you don't love them?"

Aston laughed, a scary tasteless laugh. Aston understood Steven was pulling a pure human feeling in him.

"You still have a pure side, I understand it because of your age. But Steven, slowly it will disappear as you grow older. I'll be patient for that. I seem to be going too fast."

Steven did not answer. He stared at the entire room, scanning from the corner of his eyes. Then he turned completely to a small soft object on the side of one of the microscopes. The baby's brain in the middle. The strange turmoil of his stomach reappeared. Not out of sympathy or fear, Steven knew he didn't have too much stock of those feelings. This turmoil is more aimless. One side that he can still maintain, love between human relationships.

"Let's go out to talk about other businesses, we can hold off until you can match me."

Aston took them out. The people who had entered one side of the other room returned to their respective positions. Tampa talks like a robot. Continue the work of each. Their eyes were blank and their faces showed no meaningful expression. Not the same when welcoming Steven earlier.

Arriving at the Aston workspace, they finally discussed cooperation. Aston easily agreed to participate in the cooperation project. There are not many terms and just sign the contents of the contract with a flexible tampa load. Yuno was even stunned, but not for Steven who knew Aston's wishes. Aston just wants to make it grow strong fast. It is like educating a child who will be his successor. Makes a strong footing unshakable.

.

Steven handed the next development to one of his other confidants. Meanwhile, he and Yuno soon returned to Indonesia. He needs Yuno for his show later before sending Yuno to America.

Steven's a total mess. He did not expect Aston to be this dangerous, making human life a research tool. Now, inevitably he will continue to be watched by her. All he could do right now was follow the flow. Strengthening the foothold as Aston wishes certainly with a different purpose.

Upon arrival in Indonesia Steven did not go straight home. He and Willi went to the only place he wanted to go. Meeting someone who is currently being crushed with his regret.

Clara's house looked deserted. It's the second day since his father's death. The clock shows at 11pm because Steven's pretty noon from America.

Steven knocked on the door, but he found no answer after a while. He tried again but still no answer. Steven asked the two bodyguards who were keeping Clara in silence.

"Miss doesn't come out sir, after her friend Sindy came home she didn't come out anymore."

Steven was about to knock a third time when the door opened. Featuring a very messy girl from top to bottom. His eyes were puffy and clearly thinner than before.

Clara looked up, glued to the face of Steven looking at her. There's a blaze of anger there. It was as if he wanted to burn Steven to the point of being charred. With her jaw hardened, Clara retreated and would slam the door before the hand held her back. Clara tried to push but her weak strength could not push even for just 1 cm.

Steven grabbed his wrist, easily bringing the frail body into his arms. Clara thrashed, hitting Steven's back. Evaporates all emotions and longing mixed.

"I hate you! You're the reason my father hates me for his life!" Clara's voice sank into the arms. Steven clutched it too tightly.

"I know, I'm sorry." whispered Steven.

"No want! Get out of my life!"

"I'm sorry Clara.I'm sorry," Steven's voice whimpered.

Clara cried, she was tired, sleep deprived and had not eaten since the death of her father. His body finally decays with energy. Steven picked it up, took it in the car and told Clara to lock the door.

.

The next morning, Clara wakes up in a daze. He was in a room that felt familiar. Luxury and classy with all items arranged according to taste. Groped a few times until last night's memory got into him.

He remembers now. This is Steven's room. The man's fancy mension. Clara was about to get up before a dizzy feeling hit her just like that.

Grimacing softly and just realized his hand was also attached to an infusion hose. His clothes had been changed and his body was also clean. The door opened, a group of female servants and a doctor entered her room.

"Are you awake, Miss?" ask waiter.

"How are you feeling? what's that hurting?" continued the male doctor who looks as old as his father.

"Call me Dr. Boy Miss Clara. I'll be your personal doctor from now on."

"uh? I don't need a personal doctor. Where's she?"

"Master is still resting because of Miss jetlag. He slept in his room." replied the waiter.

"What time is this?"

"At 10 a.m., Miss."

"My head hurts.." - Clara.

Boy's doctor asked Clara to lie down and inject something into her tube. After that he just explained that it is an anti-pain medication. Clara is deficient in fluids and food intake. So he became weak and sick.

At 12 p.m., Steven went into his room. Clara was being fed porridge by her personal servant who used to be assigned to her.

"How are you doing?"

"You're going again?" ask Clara back.

Pay attention to the formal and neat clothes that Steven wears. Inwardly admiring how amazing he looked with those clothes. Steven smiled, sat on the side of the bed and took over the porridge.

"I'll have a meeting with the shareholders. After the press conference."

Clara looked at him. "You're going to appear as the official owner of the GGF? You're gonna expose yourself?"

Steven smiled, thrusting a spoon in front of Clara's mouth that automatically opened. "You can watch me on TV. This will be in Breaking news" he replied.

"Everyone will be surprised."

"Rest, I'll be right back."

Steven got up from his seat. Still giving a knotty smile before Clara's question wipes her out.

"When am I allowed to go home? I don't want to live in this place."

"This is your home from now on."

Clara's jaw is hardened. Steven knew it was going to be a fight so he chose to leave Clara.

Clara got off her bed with emotion. Dragging an infusion pole and grabbing a TV remote. Turn it on and watch cartoons. Trying to eliminate Steven's name that makes him want to curse. Steven's a forger, that's what he doesn't like. He used to obey because of fear and love that blinded him, but since the death of his father his fear just vanished. What is there right now is anger.

Clara fell asleep as her phone rang. He woke up and lifted her up.

"Hello?"

"Where are you clara?"

Clara was fully conscious. It's Aldo's voice and simultaneously the still-lit TV shows Steven on his screen. Was talking with great dignity beside Yono.

"Claras?"

"Yes, Brother Al."

"You're not home? I'm in front of your house. Bring you food,"

Clara doesn't talk until Steven leaves the place. Ignoring all questions from journalists. Yuno and a few bodyguards protected him. After Steven left, Yuno returned and replaced Steven with a few questions. Give as clear an explanation as possible. Not long, only about 10 minutes. Yuno also left the room.

The screen switched on the host discussing the horrendous news with the source. Clara turned off the TV. Focused completely on Aldo who was silent. It seemed like he heard the sound of the TV and guessed what happened.

"Sister Al? I'm not at home. Go home" said Clara.

"You at his house? tell me the address. I'll pick you up."

Clara was frustrated. Aldo is stubborn.

"No need, I'm on break brother."

"Clar..you're broken up, right? why are you still the same? he threatened you?"

"Sister Al.Sister's engagement is getting closer brother.please don't be like this anymore. Kasian brother Sindy."

"What engagement? there will be no more Clar. I'm so happy!"

Clara frowned in wonder. What does it mean to be void? since when? why did he just find out.

"We should meet, brother."

So Clara immediately forcefully opened the infusion in her hand and stopped her blood with a tissue. Change clothes and go downstairs in a hurry.

"Miss, where are you going?"

Clara stopped right at the door. Turn to Willi.

"I'm going out,"

"Master hasn't let you out yet." Netra Willi descended on the back of Clara's hand which was currently starting to bleed a little more. It seemed Clara had pressed him less for a long time. "Go back to your room Miss, you may soon be back."

"I'm not the one who has to obey him, am I? I'm not his subordinate. Not the guy and I hate him right now." he wrote.

Turn around with stomping feet and violently open the door. Walk towards the gate that was a kilo away while waiting for the taxi to come.

As soon as the taxi arrived, Clara immediately went in and went to her rendezvous with Aldo. Want to know what reasons led them to cancel the match. Their cooperation and family relationships were so close that they could not possibly be canceled. Clara was only thinking about Sindy. He's the most injured party here.

Arriving at a fairly crowded cafe, Clara entered. Approaching Aldo who was waiting for him there.

"You look pale,"

"This is not the case, brother, tell me why you canceled it. How did your grandfather allow it?"

"I don't know if I should be happy or worried here" Aldo smiled at the look of confusion on his face, "But Sindy's side canceled it."

"What?! no way! sindy is very much in love with__"

"The reality is like that, Clar. You want to know who made that happen?" cut Aldo.

Clara is confused. In Aldo's face was not only a sense of pleasure, but there was a flash of anger flaring up.

"Your ex-boyfriend, Steven!"

Clara's fixated, not understanding why Steven's here. What does this have to do with Steven. Seeing Clara's confusion, Aldo finally showed an article reporting the fall of Roulet's shares and its influence on the Ramajaya group company. The company was finally able to return to stability with the help of GGF group as its business partner. But PT. Roulet was forced to go out of business.

"I don't understand" said Clara.

"Steven made my grandfather and Ramajaya's shares fall. It was because my grandfather made her angry. My grandfather doesn't know, yes, we and we all don't know that Steven is the owner and founder of the GGF group."

Seeing Clara who was not surprised by Steven's identity made Aldo laugh. There was another anger present on that face.

"So you know who he is? why am I being such a fool in front of you?"

"What makes Steven angry? until he ruined Al's grandfather's efforts?" clara asked, ignoring Aldo's words.

Aldo had not yet answered when Willi approached them.

"Miss, Master is outside and asks you to meet him."

Clara snorted, immediately got up and said goodbye to Aldo before coming out. But instead of getting into Steven's car, he got into a taxi parked there.

"Follow him, Will!"

Steven is actually very tired. He had just turned off his phone because his mother kept calling him. Not satisfied with a brief explanation from him. His mother still could not believe what the child had accomplished. Not realizing how much his son was like no other ordinary child. Unlike his father who only tried to accept. Because before, Steven had already given her a hint.

"Sir, are you going in?"

Clara enters the Ramajaya company building. It seems Sindy asked him to meet her there.

"No need, we're home. Many guards were watching him. Remember not to touch it if it's not necessary,"

"Good sir."

.

Clara sat in front of Sindy in her study room. Grasping the woman's hand. "Is it really Steven that got you guys off the hook?" ask Clara.

"Don't blame him, Steven is angry because Aldo's grandfather is greedy" Sindy replied.

"Where?"

"Grandfather Aldo wanted to use Steven to make the school name out of the country. Exposing his name to his benefit. Steven didn't like the idea because he had his own plans. After all who would be used as a business collision of others when you yourself have a lot of power,"

"Do you know where?"

"Grandfather Aldo admitted it in front of my father."

Clara pulled her hand. The dark net was glued to the floor. His hands clasped tightly.

"I didn't know that Steven was the founder of GGF and owned a stockpile everywhere. He's more terrible than I imagined."

There was a tone of admiration in that voice that made Clara uncomfortable. Although he knew that Sindy might not have any other intentions.

"Sister, then what will you do? brother loves brother Aldo."

"Nothing, for now my father will not be persuaded. He is ... " Sindy stopped talking, looking at Clara with an indecipherable look.

"Is something wrong, brother? what brother's father?"

'ask me to approach Steven and take his heart.'

Sindy could only say it in her heart. There's no way he's saying it. This is business, Clara is just a plain girl who won't understand. Sindy gave a big brother a smile as usual. Ask him to talk about something else. Change the topic of conversation.

After returning from there, Clara did not return to Steven's house. He went back to his own house. Entering his father's room and lying there hugging the wedding photo of his father and his biological mother. Thinking of him living alone. Facing a big world without any power. Then her memory turned to Steven. How scary he is. Clara grabbed her phone. Check it out, no calls or messages from Steven. Choosing abai, he tried to open social media. How much he felt smaller when everyone from various circles made Steven a hot topic in various discussion forums.

I just need to keep living. Graduated and looking for work. I'm alone, Steven.we just have to get away from each other.

With all her confused thoughts, Clara fell asleep.
