Bab 82: About Clara
Diana arrived home, and she went straight to her room.
Daniel, who accompanied her, seemed surprised by his sister's attitude.
Diana was very strange, and wouldn't even respond to his question. Even though Daniel was very curious about what happened to his sister.
"Daniel, where are you come from?" Carlos asked.
"We're from Uncle Felix's house," Daniel answered.
"Then what happened to your sister?"
"I don't know, Dad. But she just passed out,"
"Huh?"
"Yes,"
"Your sister must be sick," Carlos said.
"I don't know, Dad. What's clear is that today she is very strange. And I'm not sure if she's sick, because from her attitude she still looks very annoying!" said Daniel with an annoyed expression.
"You guys, are siblings, so it's best not to keep fighting," said Carlos advising Daniel.
Because the two stepchildren often fight, even though it's not a big fight.
But disagreements have become normal for them.
Even so, they will soon make up again.
It's just that Carlos as the father wanted to see the two children always get along.
Because after all Diana and Daniel are adults, and they will be an example to their little brother, Gabriel.

Meanwhile, Diana was still in silence in the room.
She was still thinking about the strange things she had experienced earlier, especially about Clara.
"I have to find out about Clara, I can't calm down anyway," she muttered.
She looked at a drawer, and in that drawer, there were a lot of things from her childhood that she still kept.
Diana had ignored the drawer for a long time, Bella had also wanted to throw the things in it, but Diana forbade it.
Somehow she felt still needed to keep everything in the drawer.
Diana slowly opened her drawer, and her heart suddenly raced.
It's like opening a treasure box with lots of surprises in it.
Diana saw that there was a pile of papers in the drawer. Diana examined her carefully.
Almost all of the paper contained a painting of a little girl's face.
"Is this painting Clara's face?" said Diana.
Then a glimpse of Clara's shadow came back. Suddenly it sparked all the memories of her togetherness with Clara.
The memories appeared, like the pages of a book that unfolded one by one the stories in it.
They used to often sit on this bench, facing the study table.
Both of them are busy kidding.
Diana always told Clara to be quiet, then she painted the friend's face.
"Please don't move, okay? I'll draw your face," Diana said, then her little hands skillfully drew every detail of Clara's face.
"You're very good at drawing, aren't you," said Clara.
"Yes, Uncle Carlos taught me," replied Diana.
"But my mother said Uncle Carlos was evil," said Clara.
"Ah, not really. He's been very nice to me," Diana said.
They often play at night, and Clara often invites Diana to go out of the house secretly.
Bella and Daniel didn't know it, because they were all fast asleep.
In the morning Clara would disappear.
But sometimes Clara also comes to see Diana when alone.
Every time Diana feels lonely, Clara will come to accompany her.
It doesn't matter day or night.
They often chatted in the school garden. Diana prefers to be alone and only in the company of Clara. Maybe because that's what made Diana nicknamed the strange girl by her friends.
Then neither of them wanted to be Diana's close friends.
In the past, Diana didn't know that Clara was a ghost, all she knew was that Clara was human.
So that she doesn't realize that she often talks alone, because Clara looks so real.
Don't care about all the friends who keep talking about it.
Most importantly to Diana, she had good friends who were always there for her.

Diana put the paper back down, and she scratched her hair roughly.
"She's been missing for so many years, then why did she appear again?" said Diana who looked confused.
***
Tok! Tok! Tok!
The knock on the door made Diana flinch.
Then Diana got up from the bed.
Celek!
It turned out that the one who came was Bella.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Diana asked.
"Daniel said you passed out at Uncle Felix's house, is it true?" Bella asked.
"Yes," said Diana.
"Are you sick?" Bella touched her daughter's forehead. And Diana shook her head.
"No, I'm not sick, Mom!" said Diana.
"Then why did you faint?" asked Bella.
Diana also looked stiff, because she was confused about what to answer her mother.
Honestly, she also didn't know what made her faint earlier, what was clear until now her body felt fine, there wasn't the slightest complaint.
"Mom, I want to ask you something," Diana said changing the subject.
"Yes. What do you want to ask?" said Bella.
"Mom, what exactly do you know about Clara?" Diana asked, her eyes sharpened.
Immediately Bella looked shocked to hear that.
"Why do you ask that?"
"Mom, why did you separate me from Clara?"
"Di, please don't bring this up again!" snorted Bella.
"Mom, I have a right to know. Because after all, she is my best friend!" snorted Diana.
"She's not your friend!" snapped Bella.
Diana was almost lost in anger at her mother's yelling, but she didn't want to turn things into chaos.
Diana tried to stay calm and began to persuade her mother to tell her everything.
"Mom, I have the right to know about my past. So I beg you to tell me everything," said Diana.
Bella sighed for a moment, and she also tried to calm her mind. She must not be angry or panicked, as much as possible Bella tried to calm down.
'I really can't keep this a secret. Diana is an adult. Maybe it's time she knew,' Bella said in her mind.
"All right, Diana. I'll explain everything to you," Bella said.
Of course, Diana was so excited to hear that.
She couldn't wait to hear the story about Clara from her mother's mouth.
