Chapter 16

"Thank you mom for the food. I'll excuse myself from going home because it's getting late."

 

"Yes, thank you Arka for helping us."

 

"It's okay, mom. You can contact me anytime if you need help. I'll go home first."

 

"Why are you silent?" Naya's mother whispered, nudging Naya's arm, who had been standing quietly beside her. "Hurry up and take it to the front."

 

Naya took a deep breath, "I'll take you to the front, sir."

 

"Mr. Arka, thank you for your help. I will reimburse you when I finish school and work," said Naya after they arrived in front of Mr. Arka's car.

 

"Why do you have to change it? Did I say you have to change it?"

 

"Eh? No, sir, I'll change it anyway."

 

"Okay, you know right, waiting for you to graduate and work will take a long time? So I'm not sure you can return my money considering that the interest will probably increase a lot later."

 

"What? Did you use interest for that money?"

 

"Hmm, why?"

 

"Aish, this is like leaving a tiger's cage and entering a lion's cage," thought Naya.

 

"Therefore you don't need to replace it. But of course on one condition."

 

"No sir, I don't want to. I will still pay it if I have to with a lot of interest."

 

"Why did you make a decision before knowing the conditions?"

 

"Because the conditions you give will definitely not make sense."

 

Mr. Arka smiled, "You're starting to memorize my character, right? Don't worry, the conditions this time won't be difficult."

 

"Still I don't want to."

 

"You really are very stubborn, Nay!"

 

"Yes, sir, that's right. Then if you'll excuse me," said Naya, who immediately turned around to enter the house.

 

"The only condition is that I let me approach you in a healthy manner, Nay," shouted Mr. Arka who was able to stop Naya in his tracks.

 

"Let me approach you, in my own way. This time I will use a healthy method. I mean I will not use my power. I will approach you with good intentions. You just need to let me approach you, don't stay away from me, let alone forbid me from being close to you."

This evening Mr. Arka went home because he was in a good mood.

 

"Okay, I'll let you approach me, but please don't do it like you did yesterday, it really makes me uncomfortable."

 

The man smiled happily remembering Naya's answer earlier which allowed him to approach her. Without even realizing it, he continued to smile when he remembered that.

 

"Arka."

 

Suddenly his smile faded when he heard the voice of someone he didn't want to meet at all.

 

"Is daddy home?" Arka thought his father was still out of town, so he went home.

 

"I wants to talk to you."

 

"I'm tired, dad. Next time."

 

"Now Arkana! Your mother said, do you already have a girlfriend?"

 

"Hmm, so please stop the ridiculous matchmaking Dad."

 

"Who? Take him to meet daddy."

 

"Dad.”

 

"I doesn't want you to date a woman who is not equal to our family, so take your lover to meet Papa, if it suits you then Daddy will cancel your match."

Naya rolled around on her bed, cursing what she had said.

 

"Okay, I will allow you to approach me."

 

"Arrghh stupid!! You shouldn't have said that Nay!! Aish stupid stupid!"

The next morning Naya woke up a little later than usual. Because today her mother is not selling because she has to repair the shop, Naya doesn't need to get up too early to help her mother prepare her sales. "Mother, Naya is leaving, okay?" he shouted.

 

"Wait, Nay. Didn't you have breakfast?"

 

"No mom, I'll just have breakfast in the canteen."

 

"Ish, don't waste your money! Take it here, mom has prepared lunch for you. Eat lots so you can focus on your exams today."

 

"Thank you, mom. You are the best."

 

"Please give this to your teacher who helped us yesterday." continued Mrs. Naya, handing over a paper bag containing food supplies to Mr. Arka.

 

"What? I don't want to, mom. You don't need to give him food. He's already rich so there's no need to feed him." he replied, immediately getting a hit from his mother.

 

"Ah, mother is sick. Why do you always hit me?"

 

"You naughty child. Your teacher has helped us so what's wrong with us thanking him by feeding him?"

 

"Okay, Naya will go first."

 

Naya languidly walked down the narrow alley in her house towards the main road.

 

"Good morning Naya," said someone who shocked Naya and almost fell over.

 

"Mr. Arka? What are you doing here?"

 

"Pick you up."

 

"What? No, you don't need to pick me up."

 

"Last night you allowed me to approach you and you also said you wouldn't stay away from me so this time you have to come with me."

A woman with eccentric makeup walks gracefully down the school hallway. Her clothes were too flashy, making him the center of attention of all the students who saw him. "Excuse me, could you please tell me where the principal's office is?" asked the woman after taking off her sunglasses.

 

"Auntie, just go straight, there will be a turn to..."

 

"Auntie? Hello, you call me auntie? Oh my god!! Call me Miss Joana, I'm the new English teacher here."

 

"Sorry, auntie, what did I mean, Miss Joana? Miss Joana can walk straight, then if there's a second turn, Miss can turn right and then go straight, then on the right side..."

 

"Oh my god my prince!" shouted Miss Joana who immediately walked away from the student who was explaining the location of the principal's office.

 

"Sir, my mom left this for you." Naya handed over the paper bag containing the lunch box. By the way, they have arrived at school.

 

"Really? Give my thanks to my future father-in-law. He's the best."

 

"My prince!! Gosh I met you here oh my god I can't believe it!!"

 

Naya took a few steps back when Miss Joana pushed her body away from Mr. Arka.

 

"Who are you?" Mr. Arka asked, glancing at the woman's appearance, which he thought was very strange.

 

"My name is Miss Joana, you can call me Miss Joe. Joe or honey, up to you my prince."

 

"Sorry, don't hold me," snapped Mr. Arka when Miss Joana put her arm around his.

 

"Why? You're my prince, I'm your Princess.”

 

Naya tried to hold back her smile seeing the behavior of a person she didn't recognize at all, teasing her crazy teacher.

 

"Nay," Mr. Arka whispered, trying to ask for help.

 

"Sorry sir, I forgot to study for the exam later. I'll excuse you." said Naya, who immediately ran away from that place.

 

"What is your name my prince?" Miss Joana asked, blinking her eyes.

 

"Who are you?”

 

Finally, with his efforts, Mr. Arka managed to remove Miss Joana's hand, "You crazy bastard." he exclaimed and immediately ran away.

 

"My prince wait for me!!"
