Amnesia Of Love
9. Friends VS Friends

"Clara open the door! Hey don't be like this! Where is the always cheerful Clara? Where's Clara who's always been excited? Come on Clara don't be like this, I don't want you to do anything? Please open the door Clara!"

Cassie kept banging on the locked toilet door from the inside. Clara was there shutting herself up and blaming herself.

"Clar!!" cassie shouted from outside.

While Clara who was inside was silent there staring at the mirror in the toilet. He looked at his messy face with puffy eyes for a moment and then looked down.

"It's all because of me! Stupid clara! You idiot! Because of me he went to the hospital.hikshiks.

He looked up and looked in the mirror again, whether it was his hallucination or what, he felt like he saw someone smiling at him from the mirror and reminded him of the last words of that person.

"i'm serious. I'm serious Clara. I love you so much. Since I first saw you, I've liked you. Perhaps this is called love at first sight as people say."

Remembering that made Clara cry again.

"lik! What is love at first sight?! If you love me, you won't leave me like this! You're maliktt. I hate you so much M so mucht.hikshiks." Clara sobs.

"But.."

Clara hung up her words as she continued to cry and looked in the mirror.

"But why can't my heart hate you.hikshiks.Why does my heart also betray me, he also doesn't want to cooperate with me.hikshiks.. You're evil M. You're mean! It's all because of you."

Clara glanced at the bucket nearby and kicked it.

"Basic M. You emberrrr!!!"

Clara kept kicking that innocent bucket.

"You're not a guardian angel, but you're a leaky bucket of false hope-givers. Get you out of here!" annoyed Clara and kicking the bucket again made the bucket roll.

Suddenly he fell silent and recalled the words once spoken by M which were always tranquilizing words for him.

"You should always smile, always laugh, never give up. The point is you should always be excited because you have to remember how much trouble is facing you, God will certainly provide convenience so you can overcome it."

"Hhhh..Those sedating words I still remember until now...."

"Because of that too.I can be like now M. I hope someday we can meet again and become a friend or. Aghh!! why am I talking to myself? hhh.I think I went crazy because of you.."

Clara looked at the bucket she had kicked and crouched down to pick it up.

"I'm sorry M. Must hurt huh? But... It's your own fault because you've been mean to me."

Clara patted the bucket many times and then rubbed it and placed it in the corner of the toilet room. He got up and approached the mirror, turned on the water faucet and washed his face.

He took tissue from his alma mater's pouch and wiped his face. Then straighten her hair and her uniform.

"Yeah! done!" said Clara.

"Bismillah.."

THE CKLEKK!!

Clara opened the toilet door and in front of the door was already someone standing there who was none other than her best friend Cassie who was crying.

Cassie then lunges at Clara's body and hugs her.

"Don't be like this anymore.hikshiks.i'm afraid.hikshiks."

Clara's alma mater has been soaked by Cassie's tears.

Clara patted Cassie on the back slowly. He forgot that there was someone who was very afraid of something like this because there used to be students in their elementary school who locked themselves in the toilet and attempted suicide there. The girl survived but she left a lot of blood on the toilet floor as a result of cutting her own veins. Cassie who saw it became traumatized if she saw someone who locked themselves in the toilet.

"Sorry.I'm sorry..Yes already. Don't cry anymore. I'm not gonna do that anymore. I-i promise. I just wanted to calm myself down no more." regretted Clara.

Cassie releases her hug and hits Clara's arm.

"Aww.." cried Clara as she rubbed her arm.

"Don't repeat it again, fool! If you repeat I'll put you in the pipe!" cassie's threat.

"can't. The pipe was small." said Clara shaking her head as she walked.

"It could be if the pipe is big" said Cassie did not want to lose and equalled Clara's steps beside him.

"There is no pipe as big as I am." replied Clara.

"could. You'll be small as a dwarf." - Cassie.

"Ckkp..My body is tiny but not as small as a dwarf either." annoyed Clara while plucking her lips towards Cassie.

Cassie chuckles. Cassie was grateful Clara was okay. They continued to joke and returned to class which turned out to be crowded.

****

The bell rang Clara and Cassie was in the school parking lot waiting for Hayden and Jonathan to arrive.

Soon they both see Hayden's arrival without Jonathan. Clara and Cassie ran over to Hayden.

"Hayden.." call Clara slowly.

Hayden looked at Clara and Cassie sharply. His eyes were like sharp knives. Who'll hurt you if you get close to him.

"Ka.ka.mi..we just want to know how Max is doing now?" ask Clara slowly.

"We're asking this because you're our friends so teach us if we want to know?" said Cassie.

"Bother!" Ketus Hayden's.

Cassie clenched her right hand tightly.

"We just asked. Why do you always answer?! What's wrong with you, huh?!" scream Cassie.

"We're asking you nicely. We just want to know how Max is doing. We heard he was in the hospital. We just wanted to see him and apologize to him. Why do you have to sniff like that, huh?!" angry Cassie.

Clara pulls Cassie's hand slowly.

"Cassie. Don't be angry." persuade Clara.

"Wait.there's something strange here." said Cassie, raising her eyebrows and approaching Hayden.

"You used to be like this when we asked you about M and now you're like this when we asked you about Max. Don't.don't.."

Cassie got closer and raised her index finger in front of Hayden's face.

"Don't M and Max be the same?"

Hayden's eyebrows swooped sharply. Cassie smiled at him and lowered her index finger.

"Ah? It's true, isn't it? hmm.." said Cassie with a smile.

"Don't you fucking know! You don't know anything, Cassie!!" angry Hayden.

Suddenly there were the sounds of hurried footsteps running towards them. It was Jonathan.

"Yeah! You again. You again. What do you want, huh?! You have disturbed our calm! You guys got my friend in the hospital, too. What do you want now, huh?!" upset Jonathan.

"Sorry.." said Clara.

Cassie tickle.

"Why are you sorry? You're not wrong Clara. It's not your fault." Cassie said.

"It's really my fault Cassie.if I didn't finish yesterday." Clara hasn't finished talking Jonathan cut her off.

"The drama! cuihhhhhhhh.."

Cassie's growling pissed.

"What do you mean Jojo stupidhh! This isn't drama?!" pissed Cassie.

"That's the result if you watch too many soap operas so your behavior is full of drama. You think I'll be fooled, certainly not Fergusso!" jeered Jonathan while smiling cynically.

"Basic of senseless men! Speak as you please. That's what happens if you eat too much MSG!" sneer Cassie won't lose.

"Yeah! How dare you to me. If it's not the woman I'm going to.." Jonathan hasn't finished talking Hayden's already pulled his backpack making Jonathan inevitably walk backwards.

"Yeah! Flat face!! What are you doing, you idiot?! I'm not done talking!" Jonathan kept on revolting but was ignored by Hayden.

Hayden and Jonathan enter the parked car there leaving Clara and Cassie.

Clara took a cell phone and photographed Hayden's license plate.

Cassie frowned confused.

"What are you doing? What's that for?" ask Cassie.

Clara did not answer, She then pulled Cassie's hand to follow her.

"Clara you.."Cassie didn't finish asking. A white car stopped in front of them.

"Let's get on.." take Clara who got into the car.

"But.but.."

Clara pulls Cassie's hand and gets Cassie into the car.

"Please follow the black sedan in front, sir." Clara ordered the driver. The driver nodded and drove after the black sedan which was none other than Hayden's car.

"Claras. So we're going to follow them?" ask Cassie.

Clara nodded.

"Then this?"

Clara understood what Cassie meant.

"So I ordered a taxi online."

Cassie rounded her mouth to form the letter "o" .

****

"What are you doing that's evil?!" said Jonathan.

Hayden rolled his eyes lazily.

"You told them that they did the drama because they watched the soap opera too often. Then what were you Jojo. You're the one with too much drama from watching too many movies."

"Gee! That's different yeah. Don't equate me with them. You should be thankful I'm not mad at you anyway. You made my pride drop in front of them by pulling my back bag, making me walk backwards. If you're not my friend, I'm gonna kick you out of this car." Jonathan said grinfully.

Hayden smiled slantedly as he chuckled.

"Hey, it's a clever Mrs Jojo. Please get out of your sleep and take a good look at this car. Whose car is this?" ask Hayden.

"Yours." replied Jonathan.

"Whose driving?" ask Hayden again.

" Of course you are." replied Jonathan.

"Who deserves to get out and get kicked out of this car?"

Jonathan pointed to himself.

"I.hehehe."Jonathan scowled and scratched his non-itchy head.

"Sasar doesn't know himself." Hayden murmured with a cluck.

"Hehe don't be angry Hayden, I was just carried away by emotions. Don't be mad, please."

Hayden nodded flatly.

Even though there was silence there was only the sound of another vehicle there. They also don't realize that Clara and Cassie are following them behind.

Jonathan is not a quiet type. Silence is his enemy. He did not like the quiet atmosphere. He prefers the crowd. I thought hard about finding a topic of conversation. He remembered the conversation he and Mario had called earlier this morning.

"Face flat." call Jonathan.

Hayden glared at him.

"Yes, I mean Hayden. Don't upset. You know what got Max in the hospital?" jonathan asked seriously.

Hayden shook his head with hands that remained focused on driving and eyes that remained focused on looking at the streets.

"I only know because Max's disease relapses, right?"

Jonathan nodded.

"Yes but more precisely because he remembered his past. That's what Bryan said."

CKITTT

"Astagfireullah! Hayden!!"

Because it was too surprised Hayden so did not focus on looking at the road. He almost hit the road barrier fortunately he had braked.

"Sorry.." said Hayden.

"You almost made my heart jump out!" panic Jonathan.

"You said Max remembered his past. You meanwhat?" ask Hayden.

"Clara and Cassie. This must have something to do with them. You know them, right?" ask Jonathan.

Hayden nodded.

" Max likes one of them."

SERIATE..
