In the classroom.
Alion walked to the chair where Lily was sitting. He sat down on the empty chair next to Lily.
Feeling the movement next to him. Lily who was busy doing housework also turned her head. Seeing Alion beside her, Lily's eyes sparkled.
Lily who had wanted to get angry because she was ignored forgot about it. Sure enough if it concerns Alion, Lily is really weak.
Or perhaps it is more appropriate to say that they are both equally weak when it comes to each other.
Lily closes the book and smiles at Alion.
"Lio," call Lily so gently.
Seeing Lily still smiling, Alion felt even more guilty. Alion handed the milk tea in her hand to Lily.
Lily tilted her head puzzled at the milk tea in Alion's hand.
"For you," Alion said in a hoarse voice.
"Ah, why are you suddenly giving me milk tea," asked Lily not understanding. For a second this man ignored her, then he paid attention to her. Lily was really confused by Alion.
"I'm sorry, about the field I didn't mean that to you" Alion said in a somewhat low voice. He felt a little embarrassed, Alion had never apologized before. So he's a little bit unaccustomed.
Lily who heard Alion's explanation immediately took the milk tea and drank it happily.
"It's delicious, thank you," Lily said with a big smile.
Lily really likes all sweet stuff.
"Sama-sama," said alion. Alion's eyes softened at Lily's smile. Truly a little girl, how could she be so easily persuaded.
"But don't do it again, Lio. Emm, don't ignore me" Lily's great-grandson.
"Why? You can't stand it," seduced Alion.
Alion always wanted to bully him. Lily really looks adorable when embarrassed.
"Huh, bad guy. Just apologized, he teased me again. I'm so sorry to have forgiven her," Lily said.
Lily chose silence and ignored Alion's temptation.
"Alright, I'm just kidding," said Alion helplessly.
Alion understood her girl had thin skin she was so easily embarrassed. They are young anyway. Alion doesn't want to make her girl shocked if she suddenly expresses her feelings. Let Lily get used to her presence next to her first.
Alion moved from the bench Lily was about to return to her stool. But only a few steps did he hear Lily's voice come back.
"Hum, I can't stand it. So don't be so anymore" Lily said with her head lowered.
Although Lily lowered her head, Alion could faintly see her girl's ears blushing. Alion smiled and said.
"Hmm, there won't be another time," said Alion softly.
Seeing that Alion had left, Selli, my friend Lily who had been ignored, asked Lily curiously.
"What am I seeing, since when are you familiar with Alion," asked Selli.
The last time Alion gave Lily a doll, it was still morning. Only a few disciples were present but did not notice Lily. And only Rena and Febi know. Because they had seen the doll in Lily's bag. And Lily could only tell the truth that it was from Alion.
In school, Lily and Alion rarely interact when many people. No wonder if Selli also felt cruel.
"We're classmates" Lily smiled. Lily said honestly, aren't they classmates.
Selli looked at his stupid best friend. What classmate gives milk tea while throwing a smile. Selli was even ignored when he was right in front of the two of them. Selli believes Lily is saying they are lovers.
"All right, I get it. Don't worry I'll keep it a secret" Selli said determinedly.
"Lily, I support you!" Selli clasped Lily's hand tightly.
Lily really can only resigned to what Selli did. Lily understood her good intentions but she really did not have that relationship with Lio. At least not yet....
****
After school, Lily didn't come home.
Lily is called by Ms. Rahayu to inform her that her partner has been disqualified. Indeed, the rules are quite strict that race participants should not be involved in problems during the race. Actually, the time of the race is long, but the problem of his upperclassman is included in the TV news. That's why he's disqualified.
In lieu of that upperclassman, the teacher had chosen someone else. Lily knew him well, that person was Zidan. At the sight of that man Lily was completely shocked. Lily never knew Zidan could paint.
In her previous life Lily was only focused on learning. When the teacher offered her in her previous life Lily refused firmly. Because Lily is only close to Rena and Febi. Lily had no idea what was going on at her school.
Including the basketball riot. Lily really doesn't know. Lily really felt useless not being able to help Alion. Thinking of it Lily breathed a heavy sigh.
"What are you thinking?" ask Alion. Ever since Lily left the room Alion's teacher has been following right behind her.
Hearing Alion's sudden voice made Lily shocked. Lily who had been drowning in thought was quite aware that there was someone walking behind her. But he thought it was just people heading in the same direction.
Lily stopped, and turned to see Alion had been by her side.
"Only about the race. You know my partner has been replaced and it turns out to be your friend Zidan. I didn't think she could paint" Lily explained.
"Hmm, yahh he can paint. It's just that he didn't want to show it because of some things" Alion said.
"Ah really. Why?" ask Lily curiously.
Hearing Lily's question, Alion frowned. He's feeling a little jealous. But if it's Zidan, it's impossible. Alion trusts him enough.
"His parents didn't allow it" explained Alion briefly.
"Then why would she suddenly want to show it," Lily asked a little confused. This should also be the reason in Zidan's previous life did not show his talent. Why suddenly change.
"His parents are gone" Alion replied in a low voice.
Lily really didn't think about this answer. He did not expect that Zidan's cold attitude apparently hid many things. I thought Lily was sad.
Alion who knows Lily sad even feel not fooled. Her heart is really soft. His friend Alion knew clearly. Painting was really the dark past of the man. Alion did not expect for him Zidan to fight his trauma.
Although his friend did not admit it Alion knew Zidan did it because he felt he owed him a lot. Alion never asked for anything in return.
But, Alion didn't prevent it any further not because of Lily. But since Alion knows how to paint Zidan's dream.
"Not to think about it for a long time. When Zidan was young, he didn't paint anymore because he felt that it reminded him of bad things as a child. I think now he's forgiven what happened in the past. That is why he dared to paint back," Alion explained softly.
"Emm, then good," Lily said in gratitude.
"Why are you so considerate of him," asked Alion a little curiously.
"Isn't he your friend," Lily replied involuntarily.
"Huh so, are you seducing me little girl," said Alion smiling.
"I mean we're friends, so she's my friend, too" Lily replied in a panic.
Alion who saw the panic in Lily's eyes laughed loudly. Her girl is really not good at lying. Alion really understood the meaning of the girl.
Seeing Alion laugh Lily was blown away. He never knew Alion looked so handsome when she laughed.
"Ehem, let's go home I'll accompany you forward. You're coming home with your brother, aren't you" Alion said in a low voice.
"Hum, come on Lio," said Lily softly.
Along with the orange rays, the shadows of the two side by side left the place.
