"Faren?"

"Yes auntie?" His reply always surprised me when I heard his low voice. How can a child seem to have to undergo such a heavy test of life?

Can he be hunted by his own father to be eliminated? Does that person have no conscience? His daughter is as beautiful and as good as this.

"What's the aunt?" He asked me to destroy my daydream, "can I help you?" After standing in front of me. I don't know since when did my hand reach the top of his head? I quickly removed my hand from her head.

"Yes, please go to this address yes." I answered giving her a little rough piece of paper. Has he been working too hard lately?

"Ah, the preparation for making bread is already depleted huh?" He muttered when he saw the address written there. Her thick and plump eyelashes always amazed me, especially when looking at her beautiful sparkling purple.

Although she changed her appearance, and wore a boy's outfit, I'm amazed there are still people who believe that a child this beautiful is considered a boy.

"really. Your uncle is going somewhere else, I can't reach him because the headphones are left behind. And I can't leave because I'm still in a difficult time, thanks to the baby in my womb, I can't get away from home." Obviously I felt bad after showing my husband's phone left at home.

"It's okay, let me go. Aunty take care of the shop as long as I'm gone, sit there and don't stand up much okay." Her speech looked adorable as she pointed at the wooden chair behind the cashier table, making both corners of my lips pulled up forming a smile.

"Sorry to keep bothering you." I muttered again reaching for the top of his head and stroking it as gently as possible.

"I don't feel bothered. Then I'm leaving now." Divide it while glancing at the wall clock and release my hand from the top of his head before waltzing away from the store.

"Be careful in the way." I almost screamed, but the small back did not turn to me.

When I see it that way, I always get scared. Afraid that she would completely disappear and walk away from me, her small, sturdy yet fragile back seemed to have no hesitation in leaving anyone behind.

"What is it because it has gone through all the difficulties that are immeasurable?" I felt a pain deep in my heart.

When I heard all the stories about him from Tesar, I was really shocked to death for not believing that a child seemed to be living in trouble.

I can't imagine how my husband found her first time on the street. Although he said he found Aster in a state of chaos and ran from the group of people who were chasing him. I can't imagine her fear at that moment.

He must be very scared, right? Asters ....

-Teo

I saw Carel's messy figure, he was lying on his study couch with all the books on the floor. It seems he's working too hard.

Since Aster was rumored to have died in the blaze, he has grown increasingly cold and quiet. Even though the day he heard the bad news, this child was completely out of control, not accepting the reality he heard.

Not only Carel, even Kalea and Nadin did not believe in the harsh reality. They continue to be moody for the first few weeks because their dear friend is no longer in this world.

"When are you gonna wake up?" I asked as I grabbed the book that covered Carel's face.

"Ugh, glare. Return Teo!" He murmured with a frown on his forehead. Then I lazily walked over to the side of the sofa and stood there, blocking the sunlight that highlighted her annoying face.

"It's noon, you should get up and go to lunch. Your father asked me to pick you up to the dining room." I said when I saw the frown on his forehead had disappeared.

What afternoon? it's almost afternoon, but this kid's still lounging here? I continued in my heart while looking at the wall clock that showed at 02:30 p.m.

"... what? Why do you have to pick me up?" He asked after opening his eyes and his left hand immediately massaged the base of his nose.

"No idea, I came to see you but on the way I ran into Mr. Ian. Then he invited me to lunch with him, and I was asked to please drag you there." I said as I put the book in my hand on the table. Made him rise from his lying position because of the sunlight that made him glare as I got out of my place.

It's annoying to see him still growing well despite his mental state being disturbed. My mind noticed Carel's stature that looked fit with her beautifully formed body.

"Ha—haha, got caught huh?"

"Well, no wonder you look at me like that. I'm quite self-aware that I'm very handsome, especially with my body like this. Don't you?" His words made me frown in disgust at the sight of his overconfidence. But that body, I can't argue with it.

"Here you go, let's go." He immediately got up from his place and stepped away towards the door, I who saw him could only sigh deeply and follow him.

Seeing him so calm makes me anxious, but usually he always has a myriad of ways to upset me and fight with him. But since Aster left, everything changed.

This kid even graduated first from me. That's why he can go back home first from me. And right now, I'm taking a school vacation because the exam has just finished.

Apparently all this time he hid his ability because he wanted to be with Aster during his school days huh? I don't know why it pisses me off.

"By the way?"

"What?" My grunts are upset.

"What's wrong with you? I haven't said anything yet, why do you look upset at me?"

"There are many reasons. Where do you want to hear first?" My Ketus can't forgive Carel's lies that hurt my pride. If you have been born a genius, then act as a genius, why hide it and equate your abilities with those below you? I continue in my heart.

"Forget over. I'm gonna ask you when to graduate? Next year? Or the next year?" The question makes me more upset than ever.

"You want to make fun of me?" My question made him frown dislike.

"Why am I mocking you? To piss you off? ... ah don't tell me you're still pissed at me for not graduating with you?"

"No way." Grunts me again while throwing my face away.

"Then?"

"Forget it!"

"You want me to hit him?" Tanyanya looked annoyed with her right hand that had been clenched in front of her face.

"I, maybe the next year just graduated." My answer is given the many absences in recent months because of Aster problems that make Kalea slumped. I had to go on school leave to be with her while her father was doing something.

Until now I don't know what he's doing? I continued in my heart, remembering the figure of his father Kalea.

"Next year." Carel suddenly surprised me.

"What?"

"See next year."

"Huh? Why do I have to graduate next year?" I'm afraid I can't understand his mind.

"I'll say after you graduate." His reply accelerated his pace towards the dining room.

"What's? Wait, explain now! You can't ask me something as difficult as this. You know I'm not a genius like you." I also accelerated my pace to match his steps. No answer, this kid really pisses me off.

What exactly is he planning?
