Looking for Danny's Whereabouts (2)

"So... you are Clara Anisa, Raka's girlfriend?"

Fujita started the conversation after we finished eating. Raka saw Fujita look at Clara carefully. It was so that Fujita wouldn't hurt Clara's feelings, which would make Raka angry with him.

"Yes. I am Clara Anisa."

"Oh, I see. You're quite beautiful. But, are you sure you're dating Raka?"

That question, a question that invited Raka to get involved as well, was asked by Fujita openly to Clara.

"I'm sure," Clara glanced briefly at Raka, who was beside her, before finally turning back to Fujita. "I'm one hundred percent sure."

"Then, are you sure that you are dating him using your feelings, or just as a cover for you?" Fujita asked, making Clara uneasy.

"I..." Clara glanced at Raka for the umpteenth time. She felt uncomfortable with Fujita's stares and questions that forced her to turn her eyes in various directions, including to Raka.

Raka deliberately let Fujita ask Clara a few things. He didn't mean to play Clara like that. He did it for Fujita to know the original purpose of carrying out the plan. For that, Raka just kept quiet and looked at his girlfriend as if being interrogated by Fujita.

"Honestly, I'm dating him just to want to protect myself from that person."

"Is that so?" Fujita glanced at Raka.

Raka wasn't too surprised when Clara said that. Clara is a girl who is honest with herself, so Raka understands why she is dating him. For that, he will not mind it and let his relationship with Clara continue.

"But..."

"Umph?" Fujita tilted his head at Clara as Clara wanted to say something.

"I don't want to lose him. I always wanted to be around him. It's not about where I want to take refuge from him, but I do want to always be near him. Somehow... I had a strange feeling when he wasn't near me. I feel happy when he is with me. I feel sad when he is away from me. I miss it when I'm not with him. I like to always be with him. This feeling... I have no idea what I'm feeling right now. Raka always appears in my mind and my heart. I keep thinking about it. For that, for now… I want to always be with him."

Those words took Fujita by surprise. He didn't expect that Clara had feelings for Raka, even though Clara hadn't realized it yet. Fujita didn't expect that his childhood friend, Raka Pradana, could make Clara fall in love with him.

"Should not! You can't go on with him!" Fujita ordered.

"Uh, why?"

"It is because..."

Raka realized that Fujita would say something about his past. He quickly got involved and stopped Fujita's words before it was too late.

"Fujitora, you better wash your mouth in the bathroom."

"What's wrong with my mouth?" Fujita asked, holding both sides of his lips.

"There's still porridge stuck to your mouth. So hurry to the toilet now!"

Fujita believed that. He quickly got up from his chair and went to the toilet.

Raka is forced to lie so that Fujita can be stopped. That's so Fujita doesn't tell Clara about Raka's past, which will put Clara in danger.

Clara, who knew that there was no porridge in Fujita's mouth, immediately turned to Raka and asked.

"You lied to him? There's nothing in his mouth."

Raka did not answer the question, but immediately stood up from the chair and took Clara's hand, and led her away from the restaurant.

"Why, Raka? Your friend is still in there."

"That is enough. It's too dangerous to deal with him. You'll be spending time with him just listening to his bullshit. For that, we have to leave him now."

"...Okay."

Clara could only agree to that. She could neither denounce nor disapprove of it for several reasons. First, she didn't like Fujita either. Second, Raka seems to be in trouble if she continues to be with Fujita. Third, she didn't feel comfortable talking earlier. Fourth, she must obey her boyfriend's words, for her good.

"Then where do you want to go?" Clara asked.

"I still have some business," Raka responded, looking at his watch which showed 4:30 pm.

"What business is that?"

"You'd better not come. You return to the dorm."

When Raka said that, Clara's expression was not at all wearing. She didn't seem to agree with what Raka said. Clara refuses not to go with Raka and returns to the dormitory.

Raka saw Clara's expression. He immediately felt guilty when he left Clara just like that, even though Clara had said something when she was with Raka.

Raka must invite Clara. If he doesn't invite Clara, Clara will hate him and be very disappointed with Raka's treatment of her. Raka can't disappoint his girlfriend.

"Okay, you can come along."

With Raka saying that Clara's facial expression turned into a cute smile.

"Let's go!" Clara said.

"So, why are we going back to school?"

Clara is confused as to why Raka brought her to school.

"There is someone I want to meet."

Since Raka couldn't ignore Fujita and Clara, who wanted to eat and talk about something, he had to cancel his intention to meet that person.

"Who?"

"You'll find out later."

After Raka said that, he exchanged his sandals for school shoes. After that, he grabbed Clara's hand and walked over.

There is absolutely no activity in this building. In this building, the only active room is the teacher's room. The entire hall of this building is empty. Raka did not intend to be in this building. He has another direction, namely a special building, where there are still student activities.

The students there are still running their club activities. Some of them don't come home until their club activities are over until school closes at 6 pm. That is very hard for those who run or enter a club. That's why they're still there, in a special building.

When Raka and Clara came out of the study building, they heard something behind them.

"Hahaha. You guys are so romantic. Hahaha. Where do you want to go?"

Raka was surprised to see Fujita there. Fujita was right behind Raka and Clara who were heading to the special building. He suddenly appeared and startled Raka and Clara.

"Fujitora? Why did you come here?"

Raka did not expect that Fujita could appear here when Fujita should be at the restaurant.

"Well, after you told me to clean my mouth, I told the owner of the restaurant to clean my mouth, and he said that there was nothing around my mouth. When I saw the two of you suddenly rush out of the restaurant, I followed you all the way here. And now, I am here. Hahaha."

"..." Raka and Clara responded in silence.

"So, what are you guys doing here? Why are you guys here? Did you guys leave anything behind?"

Raka could not help but have to talk to Fujita's face to face. He didn't want Fujita to make a mess later. Raka warns Fujita not to do that and tells Clara his past. Fujita agreed to that, though he didn't understand why Raka would do that.

Fujita wanted to tell Clara Raka's past. He knows that Clara, who is Raka's girlfriend, must know that. That way, will she still want to be with Raka or not.

However, because Raka told him to cover it up, not to reveal his past, Fujita was forced to comply.

"Alright, I'll stick with that… But, that's for today only. Tomorrow, I will tell that to your girlfriend, Rama."

Raka couldn't force Fujita not to do that. It's free for him. Even though he hit and repeatedly told Fujita not to do that, Fujita would still do it. He is very stubborn about what he wants to achieve.

"That's up to you, Fujitora."

"Hahaha. By the way, my name is Fujita, not Fujitora."

After they talked privately, Raka approached Clara and went to his destination, which is a club located in a special building.

The three of them climbed the stairs. Arriving on the 3rd floor, they looked for the club room that Raka was looking for. They had a little trouble finding the clubroom, but in the end, they managed to find the clubroom at the corner of the corridor.

"Here it is."

Raka slowly pushed the door to the club room. When the door created an opening, they could smell the scent of paper, paint, room deodorizer, and the smell of sweat.

"Oh, you came here, Raka."

The voice, the voice of the person Raka wanted to meet, who also wore glasses like Raka, was heard by the three of them. It was a welcoming voice for Raka from that person, whose name was Chandra.
