Confusing Feelings

"Well, we've arrived. Do you two live together?"
"I often stay at Anka's house, I want to accompany her."
"Okay then, I'll excuse myself! Good night, Clara!"
"Good night."
"Anka, good night. Sweet dreams, huh?"
"Yes!" I answered briefly. Mark started driving his car and left my house.

Sunday arrived, Clara and I visited the police dormitory where Bryan was. I can't wait to meet him, it feels like this longing will soon be relieved. Clara and I took the train, traveling for approximately 3 hours.
Finally we arrived at our destination. This area is filled with high hills and dense forests. Resident's house is far from the dormitory. I looked at all corners of this place, there were many men in uniforms training in this place. But I don't see Bryan anywhere.
"Excuse me, I want to ask a question," Clara asked one of the guards.
"Yes Miss, how can I help you?"
"Look sir, we are from Bryan McGonnal's family, can we meet him?" I asked.
"Bryan Mcgonnal son of Inspector Arthur Mcgonnal?"
"Yes that's right!"
"He and his friends are practicing, if you want, wait a few more minutes. Soon it's break time, you can visit him," answered the officer.
"Thank you sir, we will wait!" I answered happily.
After the man left. Clara and I waited under a big shady tree on the edge of the large dormitory field. After waiting for 20 minutes, we finally saw a young man in uniform running over to us.
"Anka...!" he shouted calling my name.
"Bryan...!" I shouted as I ran and hugged him.
"How are you, little brother? You're fine, right?" Bryan asked with a sweet smile.
"Hmm... Brother!" I said while sobbing.
"Hey... hey why are you crying? Aren't you happy to meet me?" Bryan asked while wiping my tears.
"Why say that? Who wouldn't be happy? I cried because I really missed you!"
"I'm sorry Anka, but I really missed you too. Clara, I'm sorry I didn't realize you were there."
"It doesn't matter!"
"How are you, Clara? You're fine, right?"
"I'm fine, we're all healthy. We're the ones who are worried about you here."
"Worried? Why should you worry? I'm fine here. It's quite nice here," he answered enthusiastically.
"Of course we're worried about you, this place sure is tough. What if someone hurts you?" I said.
"Whoever dares to hurt me will definitely beat me. Don't worry about me, Anka. You'd better think about yourself. Dad didn't hurt you, right?"
"No, he didn't hurt me. His attitude towards me is still cold like before, but it's okay. I'm used to it," I answered.
"Thank goodness then, Clara, thank you. You have looked after and accompanied Anka!"
"I did it happily because Anka is my friend."
"Oh yeah, how is your study, Anka?"
"Don't worry, Anka is the greatest student at the arts faculty. He can sing, play music, and the greatest thing is that his paintings are often included in exhibitions," Clara said proudly to me.
"Really? That's great, I never thought you would be this great now. I once said that for every weakness there must be an advantage. Now God has proven it to you, hasn't he?"
"Yeah, I know!" I answered.
"Oh yeah, now there's a man approaching Anka, you know?" said Clara.
"Ah... no, that's not true!" I said spontaneously.
"Really? Who is it, let me hit him."
"Don't worry, Bryan, he's very good. A model student on campus, diligent and kind. Now he's in his 4th semester. His name is Mark," said Clara.
"Mark? Anka, is that true?"
"He's just a senior in my class. Besides, we're not related in any way!"
"Then bring him here sometime, introduce him to me so I know who the man is who is trying to approach my sister."
"Ouch... you are too much!"
"But Anka, I think there's a point. In the summer holidays, I'll take Mark here," said Clara.
"No Clara, why invite him?"
"Never mind, I'll still invite Mark. So the four of us can go on a date together," said Clara enthusiastically.
"Wow... I'm hungry, you two didn't come here with food, did you?" Bryan asked.
"Oh yeah, I forgot. Here I brought your favorite food, lasagna with extra sausage and grilled cheese. I made it myself," said Clara while serving the food she brought.
"Wow... that's really delicious, thank you very much. How about we eat together? It'll definitely get even better!" Bryan asked.
"I agree, my stomach is hungry too," I said.
"Okay... okay! If that's what you want, let's eat together!" continued Clara, laughing a little.
In a few moments, we spent time together even though we hadn't seen each other for a long time. When you gather like this, the feeling of longing turns into warmth. Today was really fun, but I'm very sad to have to say goodbye to him again. But I have to look forward. I will definitely visit this place again.
