Break time has arrived...
Clara has circled around the campus area several times, but she still hasn't found where the canteen is. Meanwhile, Ita has not yet finished taking care of the incomplete data.
Clara stood with a sour face, her stomach felt hungry because she hadn't had breakfast this morning, she continued walking down the other hall until she saw there was a toilet. Her face was sweating from exhaustion, Clara decided to wash her face first before looking for the canteen again.
"Aaah... So freesh" said Clara then looked at the reflection in the mirror.
But as it turned out, there was a man who came out of one of the toilet doors and looked at Clara in the mirror. She was shocked and shouted...
"Aa... What are you doing here!" said Clara turning to Arya.
"Eum... To the toilet, of course." Arya answered, shrugging him shoulders.
"You must be lying! You wanted to peek on purpose, right? Come on, admit it!"
Arya stood smiling looking at the innocent girl, "Miss... In this toilet there is nothing interesting to peek at. I tell you, you have entered the special room for male lions! Be careful... Because some of them can't control himself!" Arya whispered.
"Male lion?! You mean?" Clara was getting nervous.
"Miss, you entered the wrong toilet!" Arya pointed to a picture that said "Men's Toilet"
Not long after, another student entered the toilet, Clara shouted again and immediately run out of the men's toilet. Arya laughed amused at Clara's embarrassed and panicked behavior.
"Oh my gosh... Why am I so unlucky today! I was hit by a crash, couldn't find the canteen, entered the wrong toilet again! Urrgh... Where to put my face!" Clara grumbled annoyed with her own carelessness.
After coming from the toilet, Arya finally found Clara who was sitting alone with a listless face.
"Ahem" Arya cleared her throat and sat next to her.
Clara was a bit surprised then turned to the person who cleared her throat, knowing Arya was behind her, Clara felt awkward and embarrassed because of what happened earlier, she turned to Arya for a moment then went back to hiding her face in another direction.
"Are you lost?" Arya asked smiling gently.
Clara didn't answer her heart was upset, in fact she really didn't want to go to that university, plus the embarrassing incident earlier.
"It's okay, it's normal for new students or students on this campus," said Arya, trying to lighten the mood.
"Did they go to the wrong toilet too?" asked Clara looking innocently.
"Um... Partly yes." Arya tried to comfort Clara so she wouldn't be too down. "Where are you going? Come on... Let me take you" Arya offered.
But Clara was silent, she was stunned when she saw Arya's face up close. The girl stared intently, Arya's eyes with golden lenses, him thick eyebrows, him pointed nose, and... He had a charming smile.
"Hey Miss! Is there something on my face?! You didn't even blink at me" Arya snapped fingers in front of Clara's face, until she was surprised and woke up from her daydream.
"Oh... Sorry, I... I'm looking for the canteen" replied nervously.
"Coincidentally. I'm also going there, come on! This time let me treat you, just consider my apology for bumping into you this morning"
"Erm... Okay" Clara smiled.
The two of them simultaneously walked towards the canteen, it was quite difficult for the new students there, let alone Clara. People who are quiet, not very sociable, shy if they have to ask people they don't know.
Luckily he met Ita, especially Arya... A friendly, warm man, no wonder the professor chose him to be an assistant.
"Oh yeah... By the way, I don't know your name yet" asked Arya.
"My name is Clara" Clara said looking down and brushing her hair.
At that moment, Arya's eyes saw something on Clara's neck. The color is greenish, very different from Clara's olive skin and if you look closely, the thing on the nape of the neck is like... Scales!
"Okay Clara... Do you have a tattoo on your nape? Remember the rules, a doctor is forbidden to have a tattoo" Arya glared at Clara.
Hearing Arya's question, Clara immediately came to her senses and quickly covered the nape of her neck with her long hair.
"Um... It's not a tattoo, it's a birthmark"
"Birthmark?" Arya was silent for a moment as he watched the girl nod. "Okay, it's fine. Sorry I accidentally saw it. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret okay"
Clara's nervousness disappeared instantly, she didn't expect that the man in front of her was really understanding. However... After seeing the birthmark, Arya remembered something. Remembering the dream he had a few months ago...
"That's the canteen," said Arya, pointing.
Arya chose a table away from the crowd, which matched what Clara wanted as well. So far, apart from Nana and Ita, Clara has not been able to get close to other people, especially with a man, this is the first time Clara can feel comfortable even sitting alone with a man.
"What do you want to eat?" Arya asked.
"Spaghetti"
Arya is seen writing in the menu book. "Drink it?"
"lemon squeeze"
"Ok, wait a minute" Arya said taking her order.
"Arya, may I ask you something?" Clara asked after Arya sat down across from her again.
"Please"
"Your eyes seem special, do you have Caucasian descent?" Clara was curious.
"Haha... No. I'm originally from Indonesia. My grandfather is from the city of S, my grandmother from the city of P. But we live here" explained Arya.
"Oohh... I think there are Caucasian descendants," said Clara, followed by a light laugh.
"Nothing. Do my eyes look weird?" Arya frowned.
"No, just look at the face" Clara answered casually, she immediately visited the person with her hand.
"Thank you." Arya smiled at him.
Not long after that a canteen waitress came to take their order...
"Wow... Finally" said Clara impatiently.
In the midst of enjoying his food, Arya was silent to reveal Clara, since seeing the birthmark on the nape of the neck, Arya felt that there was something inside Clara. To confirm her guess, Arya recited a prayer she had learned from her grandfather. At first there wasn't any reaction to Clara, but in the middle of the prayer...
"Ouch..." Clara moaned softly as she rubbed the back of her neck.
"What is it?" Arya asked with a serious expression.
"Hot..." Clara replied as if she was in pain.
Arya tried to continue reading the prayer in him mind, and it was true... The reaction to Clara became.
"Ouchhhhh!!!" Clara complained that she couldn't stand it anymore, her body began to tremble, she gripped the nape of her neck tighter.
Arya reads the prayer, if him doesn't stop, it can have fatal effects. "Are you okay?" Arya asked anxiously.
"I... I'm okay" Clara replied, her forehead sweating coldly.
"Want me to take you to the infirmary?" Arya asked again.
"No need Arya, I... I want to go to the toilet for a moment" said Clara with a pale face.
Arya watched Clara's back walking towards the toilet not far from the canteen "I guess... My guess was right," Arya muttered to herself.
