I Love You, Uncle
Chapter 25

This is the third day Ansel stays at Clara's parents' house. During that time Clara was still keeping her distance. Although Ansel had already asked the waiter to persuade Clara, it was still not that easy to change the atmosphere.

That morning before leaving for the estate, they decided to have breakfast together for the first time in the dining room after a debate a few days ago. Clara was silent and indifferent while enjoying her meal. Until suddenly his phone rang because there was a notification from his social media.

"Otherwise this," murmured Clara while staring at her phone screen.

Clara's eyes immediately widened when staring at what was plastered on the screen of her phone. Many of her friends have made bad comments about Clara because of the posts uploaded by Delia.

"Why you?" asked Ansel in wonder.

"It's all because of your fault" said Clara.

"Huh? What do you mean, why are you suddenly talking like that?" ansel.

Clara thrust her phone at Ansel. Now what Clara was afraid of happened. Delia again sought attention by starting to say things about Ansel and Clara on social media that made Clara start to get scorned.

"Where does Delia know about our relationship? It must be all because you dismantled our relationship in front of a lot of people by uploading a photo of us both yesterday!" clara was upset.

"From the beginning Delia knew, and she did not like our relationship" Ansel replied.

"But everything won't get worse if you don't show the public about our relationship" Clara argued.

Clara felt ashamed and angry at Ansel. But Ansel tries to calm Clara down and reassures her that things aren't as bad as Clara thought. This will be the beginning of the process for them to acknowledge their relationship in front of everyone.

"Clara, calm down this isn't something big. Precisely in this way, it will be the beginning of the facts about our relationship that will be revealed," said Ansel trying to give understanding.

"Swimming? Why do you always take things like this so lightly? Right now I'm really embarrassed by this rumor" Clara said.

"We just need to explain to them if our relationship is legitimate because we are not uncle and nephew" said Ansel.

Clara stared cynically at Ansel, her anger exploding instantly. Clara did not go to the plantation, and returned to her room. Seeing that, Ansel immediately restrained Clara.

"Listen to me first, where are you going?" ansel said while holding Clara's hand.

"I didn't go to the farm today, I'm already ashamed of this rumor!" answer Clara.

Ansel asks Clara to calmly face all of that, as she will overcome it. But Clara did not touch him and left Ansel who was still standing in front of his room.

Day after day, Clara remained silent and ignored Ansel. Ansel was always trying to steal his attention. Since the rumors circulated, now Clara so rarely out of the house and more often locked herself in the room.

"Miss, breakfast for you is ready" said the waiter.

"Just put the food in front of my room, I don't want to go out and meet anyone" Clara replied from inside her room without opening the door.

"Well, Miss," said the waiter hesitated.

Mira finally comes to visit Clara's house because she hasn't seen her for a week after rumors about Clara and Ansel spread. Mira is worried about her best friend's situation because she repeatedly tries to contact Clara there is no answer.

"Where is Clara? Is she okay?" mira asked a waiter.

"Miss is in the room, she hasn't been out in days" said the waiter with an anxious face.

Geck! Geck! Geck!

"Who?" clara's voice came from her room.

"It's me Mira, can I come in?" answer Mira.

Chequek! The sound of the door lock being opened. Mira then goes into Clara's room. He was surprised to see his best friend who looked more chaotic than usual.

"Are you okay?" ask Mira.

"As you can see, I'm so fucked up" Clara said with a glare in her eyes like a man who hasn't slept for a few days.

"What's really going on? Is this all because of the gossip on social media?" said Mira.

"The existence of Ansel in my life made everything so chaotic. I tried to forget all my feelings and get away from her, but she insisted on getting closer to me and telling everyone that we had a special relationship" Clara said.

"There's nothing wrong with that, so why do you hate Ansel?" ask Mira.

"Of course it's wrong, Mir! People think we have a blood relationship, an Uncle and a nephew getting into a relationship is wrong" Tykaa Clara said.

Mira is quite concerned about Clara's situation. But he actually also understands there is nothing wrong with the relationship between Clara and Ansel because the two do not have a legitimate blood relationship. This time Mira tries to convince Clara by advising her.

"Clara, if everything is revealed then let it go because everything will pass. After all, people will slowly understand that you two are not Uncle and nephew, you do not have blood family ties," Mira advised.

As they were chatting, a waiter who was Clara's closest person in the house came in and brought them two glasses of orange juice. Mira then asks the waiter for an opinion on Ansel and Clara's relationship. Of course the waiter agreed with Mira's opinion.

"Of course Miss, I don't mind the relationship between Mr. Ansel and Ms. Clara, because I know that you're not siblings" the maid said.

"You see, no, more and more people are supporting you with Ansel" Mira said.

"I don't care, I'm embarrassed!" clara hatch.

That night Ansel had just returned from his office. He walked to the dining room because it was dinner time. But again Clara did not follow the meaning of the night.

"Clara's not coming to dinner anymore?" ask Ansel to the waiter.

"I've tried to persuade her out of Master's room, but still Miss won't" said the maid.

Finally Ansel tried to persuade her into Clara's room. But precisely what obtained by Ansel is a speech that makes him increasingly tired of facing the attitude of Clara. Clara re-ignites Ansel for what happened that leaves Ansel not knowing what else to do.

"Until when will you continue like this?" ask Ansel.

"Until you realize that everything you do is wrong!" snapped Clara.

"I don't understand why you hate me so much, I've tried to make our situation better but everything I do never matters in your eyes" Ansel said.

"Go, I don't want to see you" Clara said.

"Well, if that's what you want, I'll go and no longer interfere with your life" Ansel replied as he left Clara.
