The Love That Reunites
Chapter 38

Reyhan was driving Clara home after Vizah's birthday was over. They were both swept away thinking about Widya's mama speech earlier.

"Ra, you calm down. We will not be fiancee" Reyhan said without looking at Clara.

"Thank God, I was worried about Auntie's words" Clara said breathing with relief.

"All will be well until our agreement ends"

Clara nodded in understanding. 'Until the agreement ends. What after that, we'll be strangers? Can't I be with you again, brother? I don't know why I don't want our deal to end. I'm getting comfortable with you. I don't want to admit it, but .. I've fallen in love with you, sis'

...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...

The final semester exam has arrived. Reyhan became busy with his graduation exam. However, he always took the time to meet Clara. He was worried that the threat of Vizah was really happening.

"Sister shouldn't have to pick Clara up again. Brother must learn to graduate with the highest grades" Clara said as Reyhan drove her to the restaurant.

"Grandfather, I didn't study, I must have graduated"

"The rich are different" Clara said, making Reyhan smile.

"Tomorrow on Sunday, we meet omah yuk" Invite Reyhan who approved by Clara.

"I pick up at ten" Reyhan continued, then left after driving Clara to the restaurant.

"Ra, there's something else you've got" Mira said as Clara entered the restaurant.

"Who?"

"I don't know, but I think they're the same age as me. They're at table number 13"

Clara immediately headed for the table that Mira meant. He was shocked to find out who wanted to meet him.

"Vizah!"

"Well, finally Lo came too. We've been waiting for Lo nih" said Vizah pulling Clara's hand to sit with him.

"What are you doing here?" Clara asked suspiciously.

"We? Yes, I want to meet Setya's future daughter-in-law" said Vizah chuckling. He then stood up and ...

"Hey everyone! You guys please eat as much as you. This is his son-in-law Reza Prawira Setya, the owner of Setya Group. So, he treated us for one day to celebrate the receipt of the Setya family" continued Vizah holding Clara's shoulder while smiling more precisely grinning.

All the restaurant customers were enthusiastic to hear. They thanked them and ordered the food they wanted.

"It's just a small thing, right for you? You're Aunt Widya's son-in-law" Aulia laughed at Vizah and Lita.

"Why are you doing this?" Clara asked trying to hold back her emotions.

"Why are you still asking? You have taken my position, I am the one who should be in your current position. I'm the one who's supposed to be in a match with Reyhan. But you showed up and ruined everything" Vizah whispered, but stressed.

"You're just like that little girl. If not wrong, his name is Ara. I still remember him being so angry when I stepped on his keychain. He even left a wound on my hand. The nails are too sharp that the scars won't go away" Vizah pointed out the claw scar on her slightly faded hand.

'That wound! Didn't I hurt the man who bullied me until his hands bled. I was almost taken out if the boy hadn't defended me. So right, brother Reyhan is that boy'

"Fortunately the scar is not long. Really really ruin. If Reyhan hadn't defended her, she would've been kicked out of school. Oh yeah, I heard that girl got hit by a car. Thankfully, at least Reyhan's first love is dead"

"But unfortunately, you showed up. Do I have to make you die too, just like I made Ara die"

Clara was surprised to hear that. He did not expect because of love, Vizah to kill someone, even at his young age.

"You just calm down. I'm still not satisfied playing with you. So, I'm not gonna kill you first. Don't forget you bought them, so you have to pay the bill. Well then, see you Clara" Vizah and her two best friends then leave Clara.

"Gosh, how do I pay for it?" Clara muttered anxiously.

When the restaurant closes, Clara is called by her boss.

"Clara, a total of twenty million. Want cash or transfer?"

"What does boss mean?"

"Don't pretend to be stupid. You're the one who's been buying customers here for a day? Why don't you want to pay now?" Jerk boss Clara.

"But sir, I never said that" refuted Clara.

"Your friend said it. I don't want to know, you have to pay"

Clara checked her account. 'Oh, my God, there's only five million. In the wallet there are only five hundred thousand. How ya?'

"Sir, I pay five million first huh?"

Brak!

"You want to bankrupt the restaurant!"

Clara only bowed down as her boss scolded her.

"I'll pay for it"

Reyhan entered the room of boss Clara. He stared at the middle-aged man.

"Twenty million right? I'll transfer it right now"

Reyhan immediately withdrew Clara's hand and left the restaurant. Arriving at Clara's house.

"Sorry, brother, I promise I'll pay for it"

"no need. Tomorrow, I'll pick you up at ten" Reyhan ruffled Clara's hair and then said goodbye.

Clara smiled as she held onto her random hair Reyhan.

...****************...

On Sunday at exactly ten in the morning, the two of them had reached the hospital. They headed straight for Ken's omah treatment room.

"Well! That who?" Tanya Clara pointed at the little boy sitting next to Ken's omah.

"Well, it's my new brother" Rayyan immediately ran over to Clara.

"Hello brother, my name is Rayyan. Obviously, I'm different from Reyhan's brother. I'm not fussy, and it's not hard to play"

"Lo quipped me?" Reyhan asked with a chest.

"According to Lo?" Reply Rayyan.

"You guys, brother sister but use my Lo" said Omah Ken bobbing head.

"Ish, you're so cute. I think Rayyan is the same age as my sister. You want to be the same sister, brother? She's beautiful, she's smart, it's just that she's too flirtatious and chatty" Clara pinched Rayyan's cheek.

"Gak ah, brother. There's something I like. She is beautiful, smart, fierce, chatty but considerate" Rayyan said with a smile.

"Murkey? Not wrong, Ra? He was twelve years old. There he is, he is ugly" Ejek Reyhan.

Rayyan who did not accept also replied. "Yee, ugly sister. Rayyan is handsome"

Clara ignored those who mocked each other and chose to approach Ken.

"Omah is healthy? Looks a lot bigger"

"Yes dear. The end of this omah feels better" replied omah Ken.

"Alhamdulillah. I'm sure omah will be healed. Stay upbeat omah"

At lunch, Reza and Widya accidentally go to the hospital knowing Clara is there. Clara spends her day with Reyhan's family. He felt accepted in that family.

When I'm gonna take Clara home. Omah Ken invites Reyhan to talk alone. Clara was waiting outside with Rayyan.

"Rey, omah knows you're not actually dating Clara. You guys, just pretend to be dating, right?" The opening sentence of Ken's omah shocked Reyhan.

"Do you think omah doesn't know? From the beginning I knew. You love that little girl so much, and that matchmaking plan was only told by your papah for a few days. But you suddenly have a girlfriend? Who does not suspect? I deliberately kept quiet and followed your play. After you see, you who didn't like Clara at first, now you're starting to like her. Omah can see it, you're so attentive to the girl"

"I'm sorry omah"

"It's okay. Omah even happy, you are willing to do anything to make omah happy. I know it's hard to grant my request. Omah would rather you be with Clara than with Vizah or with Adel"

"Mah, I ..."

"Rey, express your feelings before it's too late. Clara won't get hurt just because you love her. Don't keep puffing on your feelings. Don't keep remembering Ara in your romance. He's been different. Life goes on, Rey. Say it before it's too late"

"I'll think about it"

"Hem, now you can go"

Reyhan opens the door and sees Clara joking with Rayyan. He and his sister are different. Rayyan is notoriously friendly, supple and jolly. Reyhan is known for being stiff, cold and jutek.

"Let's go home" take Reyhan.

"All right, Rayyan's drug. See you soon"

"Council of sister-in-law"

Clara laughed when she heard it.

"Rayyan and Aunt Widya are the same" Clara said as they were in the car.

"I'm sorry if it makes you uncomfortable"

"It's okay, sister, today was really fun" Clara smiled.

Clara waved her hand at Reyhan as she reached home.

"Who's met the camer, his real kayak seneng" Goda Mita approached Clara. (Camer, future-in-law)

"Don't talk recklessly, Mita. I'm just looking at Ken, really. We better go in" Mita and Santi enter Clara's residence.

"Where have you done what I asked for?" Clara.

"Nih" Santi handed over a map to Clara.

"Wih, all use map. I wonder what it contains" Clara said opening the map.

"Liar in style, Ra" Mita also fights a tos with Santi.

Clara picked up a newspaper containing a deadly accident at a red light eight years ago. He read it carefully.

"There is no mention of the name of the victim of his accident. There are no other newspapers either. In online news there is also nothing" Clara said languidly.

"Do you really not remember?" Ask Santi.

"I remember when I came home from school it was raining. I didn't go through the red light. I'm straight" Sahut Clara remembers.

"Here, we photographed her while she was on the perpus" Mita gave her phone to Clara.

"This is a photo of the school's alumni" Clara said.

"We checked the year you were in school. And we found it" said Santi.

"Vizah, Lita and Aulia, they did go to school where I used to go. But, brother Reyhan, no" Clara said.

"We met with the library guard. He said he had worked there for twenty years. He was very close to the accident victim who was rumored to be named Ara. But, he said it wasn't Ara. Ara still met him a few days after the accident. His classmates knew it wasn't Ara. But, they were afraid to tell him to everyone. Moreover, the case was immediately closed, more precisely like intentionally closed" Mita explained at length.

"You mean, Mr Marno?" Ask Clara to make sure.

"Yes, right Marno! Well, that seems to be lo, Ra" Sahut Mita.

"One school believes it's Ara, whereas the perpus guard says it's an _" said Santi.

"Wait on! I don't remember if I ever had an accident as a kid. It wasn't me, it wasn't Ara, the name of the girl whose accident wasn't Ara. But ..."
