The next morning Carren stretched her body slightly and slowly opened her eyes which have swollen eyelids.
"I actually cried last night and not just in a dream?" softly Carren who realized that not only in her subconscious she was crying, but her who was in the real world was also crying.
"How is it, today I will meet with Jasver, as well as those closest to Jasver? My face is really bad," whispered Carren who was now in front of the mirror not far from her bed.
Every now and then she took a deep breath. Honestly, she was never that panicked when it came to her appearance, because of course the reason was none other than because usually she wouldn't meet friends let alone lovers, then now she has to meet the person she likes and is the closest person to Jasver, shouldn't she have to make the best impression?
That was of course in Carren's mind.
Several times Carren seemed to wipe her face so that the swollen marks under her eyelids weren't too swollen, but of course, it didn't have any impact and only made her face redder, which was not clear what her own hands were doing.
{Hey! Don't do things like that to your face, what you're doing is only making it worse}
"Then what should I do? I've never experienced anything like this," Carren said innocently.
There was a sigh from Carla's lips before the girl finally gave a small instruction to Carren.
{You'd better wash your face first to make it fresher, and after that, you put two spoons in the refrigerator and wait for a few minutes}
"Spoon? Are you sure?"
{ Don't ask too many questions, you better follow my instructions}
Inevitably Carren just nodded her head and agreed with Carla's words which to be honest she wasn't really sure about the steps that were told but she tried to believe it, at least she still has someone who understands much more than her who doesn't know how to take care of herself.
"I've put two spoonfuls in the fridge, so what should I do after I finish cleaning my face?"
{You have a face mask or maybe some serum?}
A question that of course did not get an answer from a Carren who did not understand at all what Carla had just asked.
Carla, who was trying to be patient, took a deep breath, and let it out slowly.
{You can replace it by cutting the cucumber into small slices and after that, you put it on your face as well as your eyelids and let it sit for a few minutes, and after you feel it has started to dry then you wash your face again, and take two spoons in the refrigerator, then you slowly compress under your swollen eyelids with that spoon}
She didn't refute Carla's words again but followed all of Carla's instructions. This time she really followed the instructions without thinking whether what Carla instructed was a lie because she wanted to prank her, or indeed that was how to deflate the swelling seen under her eyelids.
After doing the series that Carla told her which took 40 minutes, then Carren tried to reflect on whether Carla's advice helped her or not.
"Succeed!" squealed Carren who was too pleased with the result that was in fact in accordance with her wishes.
{Next time you don't have to worry if this happens}
Like a child who is being advised by her mother, now Carren is busy nodding her head quickly.
(phone ringing sound)
Carren quickly looked for her cellphone which she didn't know where she kept it.
It took Carren a few minutes to find her cellphone, and it was until the third ring that Carren was finally able to pick up the phone.
"Hello."
"Hello, are you busy? Am I disturbing you?" Jasver asked who in fact was the one who contacted Carren this morning.
{Ahem, looks like your bad morning has now turned bright}
Carren couldn't help but smile at Carla's true words.
"No, of course not, it's just that I forgot where I put this cellphone, so I had to look for it first."
A low chuckle came from the other end of the phone.
"I thought you were so busy you couldn't be bothered."
This time it was Carren who chuckled back at Jasver's chatter.
Shortly after small talk, the young man immediately informed her of the purpose of contacting her, none other than because he wanted to ask Carren if the girl could meet him or not this afternoon.
"I can, take it easy this afternoon I can free up my time to meet you guys, later I can publish two chapters first, and after that we can meet at the cafe, usually we meet right?"
"How about changing the place? I'll send you the address," Jasver said.
"Sure, I'll just follow your advice."
After a short conversation, Jasver ended the call.
"Ah, how is it Carla, what should I wear? Do I have clothes that fit?" whispered an overjoyed Carren.
{Hey! You're not on a date but you just want to meet--}
Carla had not finished finishing her sentence, she immediately screamed excitedly like Carren before, not to mention several times Carla screamed saying that what Carren was going to do was a family gathering!
Isn't that a step further than just dating?
That's what caused both Carren and Carla to be excited.
{You'd better wear a slightly feminine outfit, with your hair down like never before}
"What? Will Jasver not feel weird about me if I do such extreme things? I don't want him to think it's ridiculous."
{You're right too, what if you wear jeans as usual but pair them with a pretty blouse and loose hair isn't too drastic right?}
"Ah, you're right, I'll check my clothes whether I have a blouse like you said or not."
{Good grief! I'm a little doubtful you have it, Carren.}
A crisp chuckle could be heard from Carren's lips, and Carla could clearly see and feel that the fear she had previously known in her dream was now invisible on Carren's beautiful face.
{'I hope you will be happy like this in the future Carren, you are a good person, so you deserve the best person.'}
