Karen has arrived at the house of Uncle Roy, Vishnu's personal bodyguard and worker at his house. Karen unhesitatingly knocked on the man's house.
Tok tok tok tok
"Uncle, I'm in, yes" said Karen.
"Yes. Just come in, miss," said uncle Roy.
"After this, Andrew will come. Uncle don't forget yes" said Karen.
"Every non" replied Uncle Roy.
Not long after, the sound of a motorbike had arrived in front of Uncle Roy's house. Karen was still wearing her college shirt.
"Karen! Karen! You're home, right?" Ask Andrew.
"Yes. Come in" answered Karen.
Huftt. fortunately still had time,~Batin Karen while sighing in relief.
Andrew took off his shoes and sat down next to Karen.
"Om" said Andrew.
"Son, I'm going in first. I made orange juice for Andrew's son first" said Uncle Roy.
"Yes, dad."
Uncle Roy moved out of his place. Andrew and Karen are there.
"Karens. Ii'm sorry. It seems, I can't go to college anymore" said Andrew bluntly.
"What's? But, why?" Ask Karen.
"Papa's broke. I can't even pay for the thesis and next semester's money" Andrew replied.
Andrew was embarrassed. Karen understands exactly what it's like to be Andrew even though she's never felt poor since she got back with her father.
Karen held Andrew's cheek and faced him.
"Hey, is this my Andrew? The Andrew I know?" Ask Karen.
Andrew looked at her with half-glazed eyes.
"Don't give up, okay? I'm sure you can. Get up" said Karen.
Even kak olen alone can set up his own company without pennies from Papa,~Batin Karen.
"I have savings. You can borrow it to pay for college and business capital. I'll help you market it, okay?" Karen's words are encouraging.
"really?I'm not a man. How could I possibly ask a woman for money?" andrew said he had his intentions.
"You've been paying my tuition for a couple of semesters. Think of it as this I return my debt," Karen said.
"no. I'm sincerely giving it to you." Andrew was adamant about accepting it.
"Thank you? if we don't want to break up. I don't want to have a guy who blushes easily and attaches importance to his self-esteem compared to school!" Karen was half threatening.
Andrew was silent for a moment. There is something that Karen said. He will be the head of the back of their household. Want to be fed what Karen if she does not have a commensurate income.
"All right, I'll take it. But, I will take this as a debt. If there's money, I'll take it slow" said Andrew resigned.
"But don't break me..." Andrew looked at Karen with teary eyes for the second time. There was a sudden attack stabbing his heart. Andrew is really cute this time to make Karen unable to wiggle.
Karen could only respond with a nod.
"Thank you!" Andrew Exclamation. Andrew hugged Karen tightly.
"An-andrews. Unleash it. Stiffness," said Karen.
Andrew let go of his embrace.
"Darling, why do you trust me? What if I betray you?" Ask Andrew suddenly.
Karen smiled at him and said
"Patrick once said: 'Trusting you is my decision and proving that it is a mistake is your choice'" Karen said simply.
"So, I think you want to betray me or not, that's your choice" he added.
Andrew shed tears. He can't believe he got a diamond after a long time looking for it. Although Karen always get humiliation from Andrew's mother, but the woman did not reply.
"Thank you,Darling. THANKS." THANKS." Andrew hugged Karen tightly.
...*....*...
Andrew takes Karen to his house to pick up some of the supplies needed to start their small business. Andrew decided to draw.
"I'm home" said Andrew as he set foot in his house.
"You! Why are you here?" Andrew's mother cried suddenly when she saw Karen from behind.
"Hi aunt. I'm here to accompany Andrew to pick up his things" Karen replied politely.
"You poor woman, you only brought bad luck to my son. Since being with you, Andrew has had a lot of misfortune" he continued.
"Rephttt. Aunty lives in what age? I was poor and not as much money as other rich women. However, at least I still want to accompany Andrew from zero until he succeeds not just accompany him when he succeeds and leave him when it's hard." Karen looked at Andrew's mother without hesitation.
Why didn't Andrew tell me he wanted to be betrothed?~Batin Karen.
...*...*...
Andrew had finished cleaning up everything he needed. I don't know what he's carrying, but he's like the guy who's leaving the house.
"Gosh, what did you bring? That's plenty!" Karen was surprised.
"You'll find out later. Let's go" Andrew said, holding Karen's hand.
"Grand."
"Dear, sorry. I used to pick you up in the car, you ain't hot, your skin ain't gonna burn. Ehh now even changed 180°. O God, it's all about flipping things up" Andrew said.
"What the hell? What did you think I was riding before? I even wear a tau ojek," replied Karen accompanied by her small stiffness.
"Yes ah. Rush the road before tonight," Karen continued.

The New Zealand High School...
Today is Clarissa's final exam schedule as well as the announcement of the admission of new students to American universities, precisely at Harvard University, according to her wishes. It just so happens that Daniel, the idol of his heart, is also attending school there at this time. Daniel said that he would enter the International Relations department, just like Karen did this time.
"Sa, aren't you? You will make another announcement" asked Cilla.
"of course. I've logged in, just wait for the results to come out" Clarissa said.
"Certainly you? Where do you want to go to college?" Ask Clarissa.
"Canterbury," Cilla answered briefly.
"When do you start the entrance exam?" Ask Clarissa.
"Three more days. Pray yes" said Cilla.
"Surely."
Ting!
A notification came to Clarissa's phone. He opened it quickly.
Please HI harvard, please.
Clarissa offered a prayer in her heart.
Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed when he saw that he was accepted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology majoring in Entrepreneurship and Innovation.
"Well, I didn't get it at Harvard. You can't see El's sister" said Clarissa disappointed.
"Certainly? Where are you getting it?" Ask Cilla.
"MIT," Clarissa answered briefly.
"Good dong? Isn't Young Master also attending school there?" Ask Cilla.
"I no longer have feelings for him. After all, she always thought of me as her sister" Clarissa replied.
"That's it. Just grateful. It's still a city, right?" said Cilla.
"Hummm-mr. Yeah. You're right" Clarissa said.

Now is the time for Clarissa to go home. As usual, he was only welcomed by Bibi, because Vishnu was still busy overseeing Resto and financial management at various outlets.
"It's coming home" Clarissa said in a lazy tone.
However, he only realized that the atmosphere of his house was so quiet and tense as there was no life.
"Hello? Bi?" Call Clarissa who's going around her house.
The house was so big it echoed throughout. Until he reached the middle...
"SURPRISE!!" Shouted Vishnu and Bibi with a tart with a candlelight decoration on it.
"Congratulations, my son has been accepted into one of the best colleges in the world. Papa is proud of you" said Vishnu.
"Lho's? Papa, do you know?" Ask Clarissa.
"You don't know who your papa is?" Ask Vishnu, then hug his son.
"Yes yes. Papa Sasa is the greatest papa in the world" said Clarissa who returned her arms.
They ate together in the garden behind their house and enjoyed the night together.
