Today's lecture is only filled with introductions between lecturers, students, and also places in the university. But even so Clara will not take it easy, after this there will definitely be many activities and lessons that are really serious and drain her mind.
Time passed, did not feel the alarm sign the lesson was over. All the students scattered out of their respective classes, they came out with different expressions. Some are cheerful, some are happy like people who are locked up, some look stressed. Seeing this sight Clara became a little nervous, this university is quite famous and it is certain that the study or practice that comes out will not be easy.
""Can I catch all the medical lessons? What if the professor is a horror? What if I don't pass the exam?"" Clara's thoughts suddenly popped up.
Clara and Rara walked together towards the gate to wait for the invitation, occasionally they laughed when discussing what the lecturer said earlier.
"Oh, here it is, my driver has arrived. I'll go first, okay?" said Rara looking guilty.
"It's okay Rara" Clara replied smiling showing her dimples.
"Yeah, see you tomorrow, okay?" Rara waved her hand and walked towards the open car door. Clara smiled in return for a wave of Rara's hand, her eyes continued to stare at the car that was getting further away from where she was standing.
The campus was already deserted, but the driver had not yet arrived. He tried calling, but no one answered. Clara sighed because she was getting bored, then chose to wait on the campus park bench while taking her favorite novel and started reading the next episode. Not bad for reducing bad mood because of the long wait.
"You're a new medical student right?!" asked someone who suddenly appeared in front of Clara.
The girl's gaze immediately turned to the beautiful woman in front of her...
"Yes, what is up?" Clara furrowed her brows.
"I saw you eating with Arya in the canteen, that's great... You've only been to college once but you're already acting!" Nada crossed her arms in front of her chest, the two girls behind Nada looked at Clara sarcastically.
"Acting? Sorry senior Nada, I just accepted senior Arya's invitation to eat together in the canteen and... That's also a sign of apologizing to me for bumping into me this morning. I think it's okay right?" Clara answered in a gentle and polite tone.
"Of course it's a problem for me!" Nada immediately sat beside Clara and glared at her.
"You're a new student, but you also have big balls. Flirt with someone's lover!"
"What do you mean! I'm not teasing anyone! I already explained... Arya invited me to lunch as a sign of apology, nothing more" Clara was surprised by Nada's accusation.
Clara tried to explain to them, but it seemed her explanation made Nada even angrier. Suddenly, one of Nada's friends grabbed her hair so tightly that Clara's head shot up. The girl looks in pain while holding her head.
"Listen carefully! Arya is Nada's lover, if you still dare to tease her... You will face us and you will not be able to study here in peace!" he said and ruffled Clara's hair roughly.
"Watch you!" Said Nada then left.
Cara was silent, she smoothed her hair. Clara really doesn't know that Arya has a relationship with Nada, as far as Clara knows, Arya and Nada's closeness is only friends, nothing more.
Bheeb... Beebb...
The sound of the car horn had arrived, Clara looked at Nada and her friends for a moment, then moved from the park bench to her car.
The whole way Clara was silent, her eyes vacantly staring straight out the window. It was her first time entering college, but Clara had already received a stern warning from her seniors. The only thing he doesn't understand is that he got a warning because of a boy problem, it's better if he gets a warning from the lesson, then he will study harder.
"Is there a problem Miss?" asked the driver who had been watching from the rearview mirror.
"No sir, I'm just a little tired" Clara replied in a languid tone without taking her eyes off the car window.
The atmosphere was quiet again, until finally the car entered the gate of the house. Maybe today Clara will spend time in her room, calming herself down while reading her favorite novel.
"Honey you're home? How was your class today?" said Rumi welcoming her daughter while pouring Clara's favorite cold juice.
"It's all right, Mom," Clara said, then hurried to her room.
Rumi looked at Clara who didn't look at her at all, her eyes continued to look at her daughter's face until Clara disappeared at the end of the stairs and closed the bedroom door tightly. Rumi knew that something must have happened to her daughter that made her so down.
Rumi followed Clara while carrying the juice that had been prepared, she hesitated when her hand was about to open the door of her daughter's room. Finally Rumi tried to knock on the door softly.
"Come in, ma'am," Clara said from inside the room. Rumi opened the door, he looked at Clara who was sitting languidly leaning on the back of her bed. Rumi put the juice on the table then sat down beside Clara.
"Honey... What happened?" asked Rumi while stroking Clara's long hair affectionately.
"Mom... It's okay, I'm just tired" replied Clara in a trembling voice.
Rumi really understands her daughter's character, Clara is very undisturbed when she's in a bad mood. The only way, Rumi waits until Clara wants to tell her own problem. Finally Rumi decided to go back out of the room and let his daughter calm down first, before Rumi closed the door, his eyes stared at Clara for a moment.
What annoyed Clara wasn't Nada telling her to stay away from Arya, but because their harsh treatment had grabbed her hair.
"All this time... No one ever spoke rudely, let alone grabbed my hair like that. They really..." Clara angrily clenched her fists hard. "Aucch..." Clara suddenly whimpered in anger.
Again the birthmark on the nape of her neck hurts, this often happens when Clara's emotional state is bad. Clara rushed to the sink and washed her face, but when she saw the mirror in front of her... Clara was startled by the image of a snake's face with a long tongue sticking out.
