SENSITIVE LOVE

47

Clara was playing with her little dog, she carried the dog to the reading room she used to use. Clara was just about to play that morning before Jun came to bring someone for her.

Clara frowned when she didn't like to see who Jun was carrying. Yes, this morning after five days from the cinema, Clara had regular consultations with a psychiatrist. Right now, it was his schedule for outings. Clara must face the outside world and overcome her fears.

"Jun.I don't want to" said Clara in a persuasive tone. Standing next to Jun and staring at the doctor who was as old as his late father. Clara always felt tired after talking and doing what her psychiatrist told her to do.

"Sir Steven scheduled you now, Miss. It's good for you. Didn't you say you wanted to accompany her to the company?"

Clara lowered her head, the longer her confidence level got lower. The reason was Sindy, a friend whom he had already considered his own brother. In fact, at this time he always felt small when Sindy could follow Steven anywhere. Even the last two days Steven seemed comfortable talking about the company with him. While he understood nothing at all. She never studied like Sindy and she was not as smart as that woman either.

"Miss?"

Clara finally nodded. As time went on, the girl's desires also changed. Even the reason for staying home was not to help Sindy anymore, but to herself. Clara knew she had to fight for herself. He must be strong and overcome his fears.

There were not many bodyguards around them, only Carlos and Jun. Because Clara was afraid to see that there were many watching, be the bodyguards just watching from afar. Even Jun and Carlos were required to wear casual clothes. Not the usual official dress. This has been going on for the past 4 days.

"Park fun isn't it. Many children play here, even couples who spend time together. Look, Clara ... The outside world will be safe and fine as long as you're not afraid" the doctor said.

"But many bad people." said Clara.

"Of course, not everyone is good. It's just that you have to be brave against the bad guy. They're nothing. They're just like you, they're human beings with weaknesses."

They sat in the garden, the doctor pulled out a small knife and told Clara to hold it.

"That's..."

"It's okay, it's just a knife."

With hesitation Clara took it, she did not understand, therefore she looked at the doctor asking.

"The knife is a tool, we can use it for good or evil. Same with the gun. When you look at this thing..what are you thinking?"

Clara was silent, looking down at the knife in her hand. "Someone wants to kill me" he replied.

Jun was stunned, staring at Clara's face which was tampa expressionless. The girl still had bad thoughts in her head. The therapy given to him was useless.

"Clara...do you think I'll kill you?" ask the doctor.

Clara looked at him and shook her head slowly.

"You are my doctor" he replied.

"Then." the doctor took the knife from Clara's hand and gave it to Jun. "If he's the one holding it, do you think he'll kill you?"

"Where is it possible, my friend Jun." replied Clara.

"True, it all depends on your mind and what you believe."

"But.if the person is evil..."

"You've got a lot of people protecting you, forget that fear. Consider that feeling your bad friend dropped by and you just have to kick it out."

Clara fell silent, so she remembered her high school friend who had bullied her. Clara was weak but she had Aldo helping her. This time, he had a bodyguard and especially Steven. He's got Steven promising to protect him. Remembering it, made Clara so want to see it.

"I'm going to Steven's office, Jun..can you?"

Jun nodded, then looked at the doctor. "No problem, I can go anywhere" he replied casually.

Arriving at the lobby of the building, Clara was faced with a large number of employees who were selling well. Everyone seems busy. Some people even saluted Jun.

"Jun.you're famous here" said Clara.

"That's because I often replace Mr. Miss."

The doctor laughed softly. "You're right, Clara. He's a famous handsome young man."

Jun only put on a flat face, because now it was not only Clara and the doctor, Carlos who was escorting in also smiled.

All eyes were staring at them, especially Clara for the first time she had set foot there. He came with Jun whose role was highly appreciated and respected there. Jun was already like their second boss. Because he often replaced Steven everywhere. Even the name is very famous not only in the parent company, but also in all branches of the company.

Arriving in front of the reception, they were welcomed. When they entered, Steven was alone with Sindy. No wading as usual. That made Jun nervous. Especially when he saw Clara's expression that looked a little annoyed. Because their position was a little ambiguous because Sindy was standing by Steven's side with her hands wrapped around her shoulders.

"You guys..."

Steven got up and pushed Sindy a little too close. The real incident was just Sindy handing over her report but she pretended to slip out of her shoes. Steven reflex held his other hand and Sindy's other hand was on his shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me you were coming? are you done walking?" ask Steven. Intentionally did not want to discuss the incident just now. He knew Clara was misunderstood but she kind of let it go. Jun was even astonished. It's not usually the master like that.

"You can all wait outside" Steven said.

"I'll have a meeting soon, will you come?" ask Steven.

"You busy?" clara asked back, Steven smiled. Clara knew the answer.

"Only regular meetings Clar. Wanna come?"

"Kak Sindy..Will he come too?"

Steven smiled, a smile filled with meaning. "She.yes, she's coming. Now he's officially my secretary." Steven could see the look of dislike on Clara's face. But he pretended not to know.

"Why? don't you want to help her? with my cooperation at least his father can't force him anymore right?" said Steven.

"Yes, thank you for helping Sindy" replied Clara. But his face did not show that he was happy.

"I'll be done in a moment, sit back and relax."

Steven returns to his shirt and sends Jun and the others in. Doctor Frans is seen talking back to Clara. Jun silently watched the situation while Steven and Sindy continued the work. Carlos went downstairs to order a drink because he was thirsty.

"Claras?" doctor Frans rebuked her because the girl had not focused.

Of course he knows the cause. It was easy to read the girl, so Frans' doctor smiled and clasped her hand. Like a good friend and father when calming a sad looking girl.

"What are you presenting, calm down" he said softly.

"doctor Frans? hand please?" steven tampa looked over.

Soon the doctor pulled his hand back. 'A terrible possessive man' he said inwardly.

Clara glanced at him with a sad face mixed with annoyance. Steven was still focused on having a close discussion with Sindy. Jun scratched his temple which was not itchy at all. He was also quite upset by his master's behavior. Whether intentionally or not, the fact that he managed to make Clara jealous.

"Jun.I want to go home" said Clara suddenly standing up and stepping out.

In a hurry Jun caught up with him. Doctor Frans said goodbye. The man had a confused face. Whether confused as genuine or fake, only he knows.

"Miss..weren't we just here?" stop Jun, standing in front of Clara when they get into the elevator.

"Jun, I'll be back first, Clara better take it home. He was also exhausted" said Frans' doctor, then exited when the elevator opened.

"Miss...you're really going home?" ask Jun once more.

"Yes, I want to go home" replied Clara. Jun exhales and contacts Carlos, who turns out to be behind them with Steven and Sindy.

"Clara..why go all of a sudden? you tired?" steven asked, holding both of his cheeks and forcing the girl to look up at him.

The sudden sight made everyone who was there stop suddenly from all activities. It was like seeing a rare show. Wondering about Clara's identity because it was with Jun and now their big boss is treating her very gently.

"I want to go home" said Clara. His face looks very upset.

"Not coming?" ask Steven again.

"Clara .. You come along. We haven't eaten out here in years, have we?" Sindy persuaded. It was as if they were both very compact and close now. Makes Clara feel foreign.

Clara forced Steven's hand. Glancing left right. His feelings began to feel bad but he ventured to raise his face again. Stare at Steven in annoyance.

"I.mu go home with Jun!" said firmly. Then pull Jun's hand away from there.

Jun rolled his eyes. Not knowing what to say and what to do. Steven didn't even stop them. Jun was just afraid that his master would reply to him later with an anger that was worse than before.

"Maybe, let's go. Mr. Smith may have been waiting." Steven replied casually. Sindy looked at Steven's back in wonder, the man walking in front of her looked as unperturbed as ever. So he smiled happily, he thought Steven had started away from Clara and did not like her much anymore.

After a little drama left his employees confused, they left. Steven, Sindy and Renjun come out with different goals than Clara of course.

In the car, Clara threw her eyes outwards. Jun who was sitting next to him sighed. He's really confused. It felt like he would rather face dozens of enemies at once than face a woman who was just silent. Because he had absolutely no idea to deal with it.

"Miss, I know the most delicious ice cream shop. You wanna try?" asked Carlos who was sitting in front with the driver.

Clara turned her head, then stopped Jun from asking for permission. As usual, if Jun allowed it it meant that there would be no danger. For now that's what he believes. Then he nodded after Jun nodded.

Arriving there, Clara saw quite a number of people. "Many.this is too much. They were too close to each other" muttered Clara staring at the queue in front of them.

"You don't want to try to fight him, Miss?" ask Jun.

Clara turned her head, looking doubtfully at Jun who was also looking at her, as if that gaze told her not to be afraid. Then Clara turned to Carlos who nodded with excitement.

"Yes," he said.

On exiting, Clara wrapped her hands around Jun's arms. He did not want to be separated because the crowd there was more and more. They have to queue. There are no seats because this shop is only a small shop in the edge of the city park.

Clara tightened her grip as a teenager nudged her while walking. Making Jun turn to Carlos to stand next to Clara.

"You guys who look good, what do you want Miss to feel? we got a taste for the couple. A new breed specifically for the week" said the seller very kindly. Clara ignored the seller's misunderstanding, focusing more on the flavor choices than ice cream.

"Hmm.I want that. Which one are you, Jun?" ask Clara. With a sweet smile he looked at Jun who was just standing stiff. "Why? you don't want to?" Jun looked down to see it.

"Hmm. I don't eat Miss' ice cream." Jun replied quietly. Both of his ears were reddened with embarrassment. They were like lovers since.

"If Carlos?" clara asked, looking at Carlos. The man nodded slowly to refuse. Not because he does not like it, it's just that he will be embarrassed eating ice cream in the middle of teenagers. They are grown men and a bodyguard. Not used to sweet things.

"This is Miss, enjoy" said the seller. Give two ice cream in a small glass.

After returning to the car, Clara opened the door and sat down to eat ice cream while Jun stood near the open door. Holding one other scheme for Clara.

"Hmm..this is delicious Jun! you have to eat it!" clara said with a pushy tone.

"Thank you Miss.but I won't eat this" Jun said firmly but remained polite.

"June!"

"No!" answer jun again.

"Jun.kan fondly discarded. It's too much. One thing I have trouble spending." please Clara with a sad face.

"Sorry Miss..."

"June...!" force Clara. He shifted and took out an ice cream spoon to feed Jun who was glaring.

"Open your mouth!" said firmly. Jun shook his head, Clara nosily glued it to the man's lips and then laughed.

"Clara, you really are..."

Suddenly both of them were silent. Jun unintentionally called out to him informally.

"I..."

"That sounds good, Jun. We become like playmates. Try calling again." tell Clara, obviously she's not bothered. Carlos was scared. If Clara's angry and their master finds out. Of course it's not good. Carlos does not know Clara's character well, so he thinks Clara will be angry at Jun.

"Take your time" Jun said, then circled the car. Go inside from the next door. Sit down and start eating ice cream in his hand.

Clara smiled and nodded at Carlos, they even did tos at Clara's invitation. As if successful in teasing the always stiff Jun.

"We're home?" ask Carlos after entering.

Jun and Clara nodded. The car starts to run and Clara goes on eating her ice cream. He looked better after looking sad after work. Jun smiled with relief, although he did not like ice cream, he ended up finishing it.

"Miss, do you know why someone important like Jun is looking after you?" suddenly asked Carlos.

"Hmm? why?" ask Clara curiously.

"Because you are also very important to sir. Jun has the nickname of the angel hand of the employees and the other side."

"Angel's hand?" reset Clara.

"Be quiet Carlos." rebuked Jun flatly. Unfortunately Clara ordered Carlos to explain. So inevitably he could only be silent.

"Yes, because Jun quickly mastered what he held. He also has a lot of fans, unfortunately he never looks interested."

"I'm not surprised he's got a lot of fans, he's handsome." said Clara. As if the person being talked about wasn't there. Unaware Jun had been holding back the embarrassment from earlier.

"You're right, the type may be very high." lures Carlos.

Jun threw his sharp gaze. He knows where Carlos is going. Of course he won't let it. Clara, however, cannot know.

"Did she ever have a boyfriend? how do you know?" ask Clara.

Carlos cleared his throat slowly, realizing the meaning of Jun's menacing gaze. He who from sitting sideways back straightened his sitting position.

"Just guess Miss." replied Carlos.

Clara sneered and hit Jun's arm slowly. "Don't be so fierce Jun, Carlos is so afraid." he whispered. Little laugh afterwards.

Arriving home, Clara immediately walked towards the kitchen. He was hungry and wanted lunch. Same with Jun and Carlos.

"Huh?"

Clara gets message notifications. He smiled and replied quickly. It was a message from Aldo.

Clara couldn't wait for a reply finally called. He hadn't talked to Aldo in a long time and Clara missed her upperclassman at High School. They have been like brothers in a year without being bothered by feelings, because Aldo had given up on him.

"Is it there at night?"

"Hmm...are you okay there? "

"I'm good, brother, why?"

"Today I talked to Sindy and she said you cried a lot. Steven hurt you? then why was that woman there?"

"That's.I'm good. Sindy's overrated. But yeah, he lives with us."

"WHAT?"

Shouted Aldo, so Clara had to keep her phone away from the ears.

"Sir al, slow down! he's safe here so I'm asking Steven to let him stay."

"Some from what? do you believe in him?"

Clara frowned, not understanding why Aldo spoke like that.

"What did he say to you?"

Clara was silent for a moment. "Sir Sindy.he..." Clara glanced at Jun who had been listening. Clara got up and moved away from the crowd.

"Kak Sindy told her father that she married an old man and that he almost abused her. Brother Al..kak Sindy his company is in trouble. So her father..." Clara stopped talking. It's like waking up.

"You're sober?"

Sindir Aldo from across there. Obviously he knew Clara had been lied to.

"No way, Sindy's not gonna lie to me, is she?"

"Who knows? everyone can change Clara". Aldo was silent for a moment. "The company is in trouble. As far as I know he did approach the owners of other companies several times. But I can't say that he has no purpose there."

Clara returned to the dining table with a face that was not okay. Full of worry and lots of thoughts. He was thinking about Sindy's words to him. Is the woman telling the truth or is she just lying?
