Ola gaped again when she heard Kaluna's seemingly carefree words."Change schools again?" repeated Ola while frowning, she was bored just listening to it."School everywhere is bad, Aunty!" complained Kaluna as she took off her bag. "There are so many rules, the teachers are annoying, the students are annoying ... I don't like school!"Ola scratched her head, Kaluna's childish behaviour often bothered her when it relapsed like this."Luna, don't be rash. As your aunt, I understand how you feel." Ola began to unleash her charms. "I never know what makes you like to change schools, but this time you should stay there. The problem is that you're already in your final year, you won't graduate for half a year."Kaluna was silent while closing her eyes, she never told anyone that the reason she changed schools for the first time was because of Dewangga and Rara's betrayal."I feel really lazy to go to school," Kaluna said with her eyes still closed."Or do you want to get married young, Lun
Kaluna was forced to live her school life as usual, but this time what made it different was her mood, was so upset just by recalling Estefan's last words in her mind:"If you don't want to go back to school, try not to delay too long."Honestly, Estefan's words were considered by Kaluna to be a challenge. This was even if he had to give up the rest of his studies at Oasis High School."Here."Kaluna looked up when a scolding voice was heard while she was alone in the canteen."Yohan...?" Kaluna immediately got into a stance as soon as he stood up and faced the prince of the school."No need to rush, I just want to fulfill my promise as a manly man." Yohan held out a box containing a new mobile phone that was almost the same model as Kaluna's. "I'm not usually this nice to girls, but yeah... Next time I won't spare you if you take my jokes too far."Without waiting for any response from Kaluna, Yohan placed his mobile phone case on the table. He left accompanied by the eyes of the wom
"It's safe," Estefan said then, his head snapping around to the car where Kaluna was cowering like someone about to be attacked with a sack of firecrackers. "Are you okay, Kaluna?""No, Sir..." Kaluna replied weakly. Before Estefan could get rid of her, she crawled slowly down to her homeroom teacher's car with difficulty. "Thank you... for your help... Mr. Reyvonda..."Estefan looked away as Kaluna managed to slide out of his car with a very frightened look on her face.Before Estefan could look back, Kaluna managed to fall to the ground."Kaluna... what's wrong with you?" asked Estefan who immediately turned his head when he heard the sound of falling objects and his expression immediately changed dramatically when he saw Kaluna's pained face."No... it's fine, Sir..." Kaluna replied weakly. "Thank you... For helped me... I'm just worried..."Estefan acted quickly by helping Kaluna up and pushing her into the car after observing that the surroundings were not that crowded."Mr. Reyv
That morning Kaluna had left for school early, and she accidentally passed by the classroom where Estefan was teaching the zero hour material to the first years. Kaluna didn't understand what magic Estefan had used on her, but the help he had been giving her lately made her heart feel something different.When the bell that ended the zero hour material rang, Kaluna stood up from her seat and walked to her own class. Estefan caught a glimpse of her shadow from afar and understood that Kaluna was starting to pay attention to him.Estefan did not want that to happen, or else he would repeat the bad history of his old school when a student fell in love with him. After finishing his zero hour lesson, Estefan went to the canteen for coffee and snacks. When he got there, it turned out that Kaluna was already ordering something in front of the table. "Coffee, Sir?" One of the senior canteen staff offered as Estefan approached. "As usual," Estefan replied briefly, after which he immediat
Kaluna was stunned, but she realised that what Estefan said was completely true."Is this advice for me?" asked Kaluna while looking at Estefan who was still correcting his students' assignments. "Of course, what else can a teacher give to his students other than knowledge and advice?" Estefan replied immediately."Perhaps... there is something else that can be given," Kaluna said again. "It's just that the teacher doesn't want to, or doesn't want to yet...."Estefan suddenly smiled bitterly."You really are the first most antique student in the history of my career as a teacher," he commented. "After skipping class, fighting with Yohan from the next class, then today you express your gratitude as if I am the most meritorious person in your life."Kaluna paused, did it really look like that?"Sorry," Kaluna said as she turned away with a slightly heated face. "I've talked too much.""I'm not surprised that you're not a sensitive person," Estefan said."Sensitised...?""Sensitised if
Kaluna wore a knee-length skirt that fit her legs well and was not too tight. For the top she chose a blue long-sleeved dress with both shoulders exposed."You look like a child," Ola commented as she looked at Kaluna from head to toe. "Tomorrow aunty will buy you more diverse clothes.""I'm still a teenager," Kaluna said. "Why would I wear clothes that make me look old?""You don't understand fashion," said Ola as she picked up her bag. "Let's go to the boutique, shall we? I want to buy some clothes that will make you look elegant and mature.""Wouldn't it be better to use the money for the house, Aunty?" asked Kaluna as she grabbed her bag too. "I still have a lot of clothes."Ola sighed, it was the first time she had heard Kaluna argue with her and it was starting to annoy her. She felt that she had to make Kaluna look more mature than her actual age. At least it would make Kaluna more attractive to the person she was preparing for."Which boutique are we going to?" asked Kaluna wh
Estefan was transfixed when the girl walked away, but the enchantment she left behind had already penetrated his subconscious."Dirga, bring that girl here," Estefan ordered as Dirga helped him up."What?" Dirga thought he had heard wrong. "You don't even know who she is ....""This is my order," Estefan snapped, holding his head. "I want that girl right now!""Sir," Dirga whispered worriedly. "You're ....""Get that girl now!" Estefan snapped. "Are my orders not clear enough?""Get ready!" Dirga quickly turned around to chase after the girl. This was the first time he had seen Estefan's out-of-control reaction under the influence of the drink Wirya's daughter had given him.A few hours before that ....Kaluna was forced to take a few sips because Ola kept pestering her. Not long after, two of her aunt's female friends came to join them."This is my niece, her name is Luna." Ola introduced Kaluna to the two friends in front of her. "Luna, they're my aunt's friends."Kaluna smiled swee
"You underestimate me," the man whispered at last."I'm not sure." Kaluna chuckled. "What can you do that I won't be able to underestimate you anymore?""I can do anything, including making you remember me forever." The man gently kissed Kaluna's thin red lips and stupidly, Kaluna just stayed silent.The handsome man laughed as Kaluna accepted his kiss without even trying to resist."This..." Kaluna touched her own lips with her hand."Why, do you often do it with your schoolmates?" the man asked enthusiastically. Kaluna slowly shook her head."I've never done it," Kaluna said honestly."Really? So I'm the first person to kiss you?" The handsome man said proudly. "You have a lot to learn."Kaluna blinked her eyes as she stood up."I'm sorry, I'm not sure you can give me more things to learn," she said as she shook out her straight hair.Kaluna's confidence made the young man smile meaningfully. His brain kept thinking of ways to get her to back up what she had said to him earlier."Yo
Estefan clenched his fists."Dewa, stop! I'll do anything for Yohan!" Kaluna shouted again.Dewangga smiled and asked his friend to stop hitting Yohan."You're engaged to me," Dewangga said, looking at Kaluna. "I guarantee all parties will be safe without the need for bloodshed, that is if he wants to return to Fiona."Kaluna was silent with tears still falling."You don't have to do that, Luna ..." Yohan said in a soft voice. "You have to really choose ... the person you love ...."Kaluna burst into tears. "I can't let my friend get beaten up."Dewangga was still staring at Kaluna. "You answer now or ....""I want to get engaged to you!" Kaluna exclaimed. "But let Yohan go, Mr Reyvonda will come back with your sister!"Estefan looked at Kaluna in disbelief. "Don't be absurd!""Even if we get married, there will be hurt feelings!" Kaluna said sadly. "Fiona needs to be happy too, just like us."Estefan clenched his fists."So what?" Dewangga looked at Estefan. "If you won't take respon
Fiona burst into hysterical tears when she heard her brother's words.Dewangga held her forehead. Fiona hadn't cried in months, but Estefan's appearance had destroyed everything."I can't believe it, Estefan won't see me!" Fiona roared in a heart-wrenching voice. "What did I do wrong? I genuinely like him, I really do!""I know!" said Dewangga, his heart still hurting when he saw Fiona in pain because her feelings for Estefan were not reciprocated. "I'll force Estefan to meet you!"Fiona was still sobbing with Dewangga stroking her back."Are you still sure about setting me up with Rey?" Kaluna asked when she met Ola at the dining table. "Rey has a complicated past with Dewa's sister."Ola held her forehead. Things were getting complicated, but she felt she could still capitalise on the opportunities created by the problems between Kaluna, Dewangga, and Estefan."Why are you so impressed with Dewa?" Ola commented cautiously. "Despite his betrayal, he's a good brother. I'm not surprise
Estefan was silent after hearing Dewangga's answer."Do you know Fiona, Sir?" asked Kaluna while looking at Estefan.The ice cream in each of their hands began to melt because they didn't eat it immediately."How could he not know my sister?" interrupted Dewangga with an expression filled with anger. "He's the one who made Fiona so depressed that she had to quit school!"Kaluna looked at Estefan questioningly. "Sir, can you explain what the Dewa .... means?""I'll explain later," Estefan cut in as he pulled Kaluna away."Wait, where's your responsibility as a teacher?" Dewangga asked emotionally. "You don't know what it's like to see Fiona cry almost every day, do you?"Estefan didn't answer and kept walking away with Kaluna."Why are you silent, Sir?" Kaluna glanced at Estefan. "Dewa won't stop until he gets what he wants.""Shut up," Estefan said without turning around."I said stop!" Dewangga had to pull Kaluna's arm to stop them, and the ice cream slipped out of her hand."Dewa!"
"If you have to, just say it frankly." Rey aka Estefan drove while commenting in his usual flat tone.Kaluna glanced irritably at the person sitting beside her."I already know that I have to, why are you-Mr ...? Argh, I don't know what to call you!" grumbled Kaluna who could no longer contain herself.When she was at school, she was still able to be respectful and polite to Estefan as her teacher. However, when she realised that Rey who was sitting next to her was the one who was mated with her, Kaluna felt like throwing a tantrum that very second."Call him whatever you want," Estefan said without looking at Kaluna. "The one at school or the one at home is the same."Kaluna exhaled loudly."That's the problem!" She became very emotional. "It's hard for me to deal with someone who's used to dividing himself into two personalities, why do I have to go undercover anyway?""Who's in disguise?""You!""Disguised as what?""The teacher at school!"Estefan was still driving calmly with no
As a form of strong protest against her aunt's actions, Kaluna deliberately pretended to be busy with her school activities so that the dating agenda with Rey was not realised.It was nothing, Kaluna had absolutely no interest in dating Rey or anyone else."Luna, where are you going?" asked Ola when she saw her niece who was busy putting books into a bag. "Don't tell me you have extra lessons? That's strange ...."Kaluna grimaced and did not answer immediately."If you're not taking lessons, how come you want to play outside?" asked Ola as she came closer to Kaluna. "Do you prefer to stay at home, or is it your aunt who has the wrong idea?"Kaluna cleared her throat briefly, then looked at her aunt."If I remember correctly, my school activities are really busy ... Usually, it's the midterm exams." Kaluna explained.Ola frowned in surprise."You're ... fine, Luna?" asked Ola as she touched her niece's forehead. She felt that Kaluna's change was too sudden and drastic."Be healthy, Aun
If it wasn't for wanting to obey Ola's advice, Kaluna would have kicked Dewangga out of her way long ago."By the way, where are you going, Luna?" Dewangga asked again."Nowhere," Kaluna replied unfriendly. 'Yohan took so long,' she continued silently."I can take you," Dewangga said again. "Or do you want to go for a walk first?"Kaluna smiled sarcastically."What makes you so sure that I want to go with you?" asked Kaluna while scrunching her waist."Because you've accepted my presence and don't kick me out anymore," Dewangga replied confidently. "To me, that's enough proof that you don't actually hate me that much ....""Oh, rubbish!" interrupted Kaluna sarcastically. "I don't care about you, I could have kicked you out earlier if I wanted to. But what the hell, it's a waste of energy."Dewangga's facial expression changed slightly as Kaluna became more stern towards him."Luna, please ..." Dewangga coaxed. "There's nothing wrong with trying to fix things, I know I'm wrong. I won't
Estefan did not immediately respond to his mother's advice, especially since he could not accept Kaluna's behaviour with Yohan at school.The next day, Kaluna lived her school life as usual. She secretly carries her own mission to continue her cold war with Estefan, who gave her a warning in the teacher's office some time ago.Kaluna was determined not to leave Oasis High School even one step unless the school itself kicked her out first.That day the students were suddenly sent home early because the teachers were going to hold a meeting, Kaluna's class was one of the most excited to receive this news."Fun, go home early ....""Let's hang out in front first?""Just coffee, I'm in!"Some of Kaluna's friends were busy making fun events instead of going straight home, but she chose to listen and had absolutely no intention of joining in."Luna!" Yohan's head peeked through his classroom window as Kaluna walked by. "Where are you going?""Don't know, lazy to go home this early." Kaluna
"There's still an hour and a half to go, don't let us faint." Kaluna reasoned. "You can also lean on my back, don't be shy."Yohan certainly had nothing to lose, now leaning on Kaluna's back until their punishment ended when the break bell rang loudly."What do you say, do we disperse?" asked Yohan while turning his head. "Or wait for our homeroom teacher to tell us to ...?"Kaluna sighed. It's embarrassing to be seen by students from first to third grade like this, she thought."What is Mr Reyvonda doing here?" Kaluna grumbled. "We're going to be the subject of many students like this."Yohan glanced at the students, some of whom had already left their classrooms."What the hell," Yohan commented. "I'm not the type of senior who's pretentious, so let the younger students see me for who I am."Kaluna scowled at Yohan's confession, she leaned comfortably on his back and put on an unconcerned face when several students looked at them.From behind the teacher's office door, Estefan squin
Both Kaluna and Yohan turned their heads and saw Mr Kemal ruffling his waist from the first class corridor, making them both grin without any guilt at all."You, Kaluna! I'm going to report this to your homeroom teacher, Mr Reyvonda!" Mr Kemal continued, after which he continued on his way while Kaluna was still hanging on the gate with Yohan holding both her waists."We're doomed ..." Kaluna complained as she held on to the gate. "Yohan, what's this ....""Relax, we usually get punished too." Yohan replied without looking up, several corridor students to their right and left now began pointing while grinning under their breath at the sight of Kaluna hanging from the school gate in such a way."That's not the problem!" snapped Kaluna while swinging her legs. "This is how to get down I mean!""Don't kick!" retorted Yohan, this time forced to look up to see Kaluna. "You're like a baby in the womb ....""How do I get down, Yohan?!" asked Kaluna hysterically. "My skirt is torn again ...."
