He's The Unaffordable
Chapter 163 - The Enemy

*Hadi*

When I stood up, my head was very dizzy and my eyes were twitching. Colin walked in front of me, already impatient to pick up Lily. I didn't want to trouble him, so I held a table near me. After waiting for a while, the dizziness went away. I rushed to the car.

I remember I unlocked the car, opened the door, then sat in the front seat. But I don't remember anything after that. I don't know why I can't fight my suddenly very heavy eyes. When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a room I did not know.

Realizing that I was alone and that no one was with me, I walked out of the place. Seeing that there were many other doors in the corridor that I passed by, I immediately knew that I was in the hotel. Who brought me to this place?

I checked my pants pocket and found my wallet and phone still in a safe place, as well as my car keys. But I don't remember where I parked it. Not wanting to get dizzy, I called Pak Sakti and asked him to pick me up after dividing my location.

My family cried to welcome me home. My head was still dizzy, so I couldn't answer all the questions they asked. Fortunately, Papa broke them up and allowed me to go to my room and rest. Even though I was so exhausted, I took the time to shower and change clothes.

Waking up the next day, I realized that I had made a big mistake. I forgot I should have brought Clarissa to dinner with our family. As soon as I got to the office, I immediately looked for him. But Tegar told him he had asked permission to arrive late. He had to go to college to see his supervisor.

Smart girl. He didn't want to lose to me so he sped up completing his script. Goody. That way, we can graduate together and who knows, we can also continue studying at the same campus. Although we will work in different companies and work in different fields as well, as long as we are in the same city, then we can be together.

I don't know what caused me to make this decision. But I know I'm tired of lying to myself. Everyone showed me how ridiculous my every sentence and action was towards Clarissa. They all knew my true feelings for the girl, so why else would I keep deceiving myself?

Let's hope Clarissa is as strong as she told me. Because in these three months he should be able to prove that he will not say the word break up again. If that one condition alone was not able to be fulfilled, I was forced to close the door of my heart to her forever.

My phone on my desk was shaking. Reading the name on the screen, I couldn't answer the incoming call outside of work. She must have just wanted to show off that she met Clarissa. But Dira knew that I couldn't be bothered on working hours. If he keeps calling, maybe something bad has happened.

“Kak, hurry here now,” said Dira in a panicked voice after I greeted her.

“To where? I'm at work, Dira,” I said reminding him. When he mentioned the name of a hospital, I stood up and walked out of my room. He didn't say who was sick, but I called Papa. As soon as Auntie Gista answered, I told her the name of the hospital and asked Papa to follow her there.

Did Reese finally get out of control and hurt my sister? Oh, dearGod. What did he do to Dira? Where the hell is Wyatt? Why doesn't he take care of my sister? What about the bodyguard who guards him? Have they all been lulled into such a peaceful state lately that they have been negligent?

I was so upset to see the traffic lights suddenly only had red lights. Why is it that when I need to arrive as soon as possible somewhere, circumstances actually hinder my intention? I could already see the hospital building I was going to, but the red light had long since turned green.

The first person I saw in the ER room was Om Edu. Why is he here? Where's Mama going? Did my sister wrongly call people? But when I saw Aunt Lindsey crying, it wasn't a mistake. I walked over and saw my sister hugging Charlotte. They're both fine. Wyatt and Wendy, too. Then who's sick?

Feeling someone patting my shoulder, I turned my head. “Cole? W-what happened?” Everyone is looking at me. Dira was the first one to approach me and hugged me tightly. I'm getting less and less clueless.

Isakan Charlotte and Aunt Lindsey also wake me up. Clarissa. My heart is beating fast. I can feel my body trembling. I looked at my best friend, still waiting for him to answer my question. Seeing him having trouble speaking, my guess must be true.

“Clarissa .. fell from the stairs on campus.” Colin managed to say that sentence with great difficulty. “He is being treated by a doctor. After screaming in pain all the way here, he ended up unconscious. They're preparing him to have surgery.”

“Fall? How did he fall? Three more years he attended that college, how could today he fall down the stairs??” I demand honesty. “Is there anything you're hiding from me?”

“Colin does not hide anything,” says Wyatt mediates. “Everyone is still surprised. All I know from the stories of friends, Reese who pushed Clarissa until she fell down the stairs.”

“Operation earlier, what operation do you mean?” I asked Colin.

He still can't talk. “Doctors say that his leg is broken, so they should immediately fix his position. They are making sure that Clarissa does not have any disease she is suffering from that could interfere with the operation later.” Wyatt answered.

Broken leg? If they had to operate on him, would he be okay? He can still walk again, ‘kan? No. gabe. I can't think of anything bad. The doctor will do his best. There's one important thing I have to do.

“Where is Reese? Where is the bad woman?” I ask who does not hide my anger. Colin just shook his head. I looked towards Wyatt.

“We all concentrated on Clarissa's state, so no one saw the girl,” Wyatt replied.

“People Irwan already took him to the police station,” said Papa who came from behind me. I'm glad to see he's here with us. “Video of Clarissa's fall on the ladder was viral on social media. It is clear who pushed him. So, we have enough evidence and eyewitnesses to hold him.”

I immediately pulled my phone out of my pocket. Papa's hand prevented me from opening the screen of my phone. “It's best not, son. The video ... I just can't see it.”

“Family Clarissa?” say someone. Om Edu is approaching. “The patient is ready for surgery. Please, sign here.”

Papa immediately approached and read the contents of the paper given by the sister. Seeing Papa no longer obstructing me, then I opened the search engine. Before typing anything in as a cue, the screen displayed a recent video one of which described the atmosphere of my campus building.

I chose the video, waited until the site opened, then played it. There was the face of a girl who was talking to the camera. I did not turn on the volume so as not to disturb the atmosphere of the room that was busy handling patients.

As the girl walked and the camera followed her, I looked towards the stairs in question. Clarissa and Charlotte went down the stairs, then twisted in the bordes. As Clarissa was about to lower her leg, a hand pushed her so she lost her balance and fell.

The camera still leads to Charlotte and the culprit. Reese's. I couldn't see his facial expression clearly, because it was too far away. The camera then leads to Clarissa, but her body is soon covered by Colin running towards her.

By the time we accidentally met Reese and her assistant in front of the cake shop, I didn't expect it to end this way. He was angry to realize that Clarissa and I had a special relationship. But what happens on campus until he has the heart to push Clarissa?

*******

Meanwhile in the police station~

“Let me go from here! I am innocent! The video is a lie! I'm not the culprit!” reese shouted in protest at the police who just ignored him.

“Hei! Don't noise! You've disturbed my sleep enough!” A woman hits a trellis that separates her cell and Reese's.

Reese paid no attention to the woman and continued shouting while shaking her cell door. He stopped when the entrance opened and someone he knew appeared. A woman came in with a police officer.

“Dad! Mama! Did you come to help me? Mercifully. Hurry, open this door! I can't wait to get home!” cheer Reese happy. But the couple was silent. “What's wrong with you guys? Quick, open the door!”

Carl looked at his daughter expressionlessly, while Bianca began to cry in disbelief. “Clarissa has not interfered with our lives for many years. What did you just do, Reese? Why did you come so far?”
