Forever Young's
Chapter I Invitation for Dinner

Nuna Callista raised her head looking at the gray sky that was blocking the sunlight. The clock has shown at 06:30. There was still an hour before the first lesson began.

"Miss, please jacket," a man in his early 20s standing beside the girl held out a pink jacket.

This man was named Tanio, a personal assistant who took care of the needs of the Young Miss of the Pangestu Family.

Nuna's brows furrowed, reluctantly taking out a jacket and giving her bag to hold temporarily to Tanio. Then he began to wrap his uniform in a pink jacket. Nuna saw that the sleeves of the jacket were too long, with her heart folding and adjusting the sleeves of the jacket to the length of her hands.

After feeling this pink jacket tidy, Nuna picked up her bag and said, "Thank you, Nio."

Tanio's lips curved. "Same - same, Miss. Please get in the car."

Nuna got into the car and put up the earphones. The voice of the English-speaking news anchor became morning music for the girl. It only takes thirty minutes to get to school. The rain had fallen down, Tanio opened the door and patted Nuna with heart.

"Give me the umbrella, you can come back." Nuna reached out but lost quickly to the evasive Tanio.

"Does Miss have the heart to let me get soaked?"

Nuna was stunned and realized that the man was only carrying this one umbrella. Sighing helplessly, he began to walk. Tanio walks side by side, taking Nonanya to school.

Ignoring the gazes of the other students, Nuna stopped in the hallway close to her class. "You can go, thank you." Without waiting for a reply, he walked back.

"His learning spirit, Miss."

◾◾◾

.

Nuna entered the XI class of MIA 1 which was still quiet. He sat in the front row and opened a Biology textbook. He drowned himself in the cells of living things. After the long hand of the clock pointed at the number five, the class started to get crowded.

"It's so bad I go to school, it's raining gini good to sleep, isn't it?" Bimo, the captain of the school's pride basketball team, asked his friend Joshua who was dribbling basketball.

Joshua turned the ball at the end of his index finger, "Haha, yoi bro." Then pass the ball to Bimo,

Buk.

The ball missed and hit the table hard. The students in the class held their breaths when they saw where the ball landed. Bimo stared at the black trail on the table where Nuna was reading a book.

Luckily I don't have to book, Bimo.

"Sorry, sorry. I didn't intentionally, I helped lap." Bimo lifted the corner of his shirt to wipe the table but his steps came to a halt when Nuna took out a handkerchief and gracefully removed the dirt trail on the table, then sprayed the disinfectant and took out a new handkerchief to remove it, then sprayed the disinfectant and took out a new handkerchief to remove it, next he stood up throwing the two handkerchiefs into the trash.

Nuna looked at Bimo who was still standing in his place. "No need." He sat down and continued reading.

There was a moment of silence before Joshua laughed crisply. "here, Bim. Teacher's coming soon, you sit down."

Bimo picks up his basketball and approaches Joshua. He hit Joshua on the shoulder, "Gara - because of lo, no."

Joshua whines, "Sorry, bro. Fortunately the Princess was not angry."

Bimo grunting. "Diem lo."

Both of them sat on their benches. The students who were watching silently - silently heaved a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of the students, Nuna Callista was like a character coming out of a royal novel. Her graceful, gentle and untouchable temperament made her have the nickname the Princess so they felt different dimensions to her.

They several times try to make friends by inviting chat, but Nuna will give a makeshift answer without interest to continue the conversation. They retreated slowly and formed the understanding that everyone had their own choices so that even with an even number of students, no one sat next to Nuna.

Nuna herself does not care about the opinions of her classmates, she just wants to be that life in school without any distractions. Habits from childhood that require him to be neat and organized make his personal perfectionist. So that he would not allow the slightest disturbance to mess with this rhythm.

After the bell rang, the Master of Image Biology entered the classroom.

"Hello, kids. Come on, class leader lead do'a."

"Ready mom. Sit ready, move. Praying begins." Class leader leads do'a. "Do'a done. Rest in place, motion."

"Good morning, Mom."

"Good morning, before studying, I will share the results of last week's exam. Congratulations to Nuna Callista who achieved the highest grade in the class. Give a round of applause, boys."

The students applauded and stared in admiration at the figure of Nuna walking to the front of the class.

Nuna took the results of her exam and looked at the number 99 in the value column. "Teacher, why didn't I get full marks?"

The students who heard were just observing in silence. Perhaps if the other grade students heard this, that student would look cynically at Nuna. But not with them. They knew that this girl always scored 100 points in the exam during one semester of being a classmate. Inwardly, they were grateful that Nuna was only their classmate, not the neighbor's child their parents would compare with.

The image points to a red-drawn answer, "There is no correct answer to this question. Teacher forgot to add the word 'except'."

"But I choose the correct answer if Master adds the word 'except'."

"But the fact is that the teacher forgot. So there's no answer. But you still chose the answer here, so Master reduced your points."

Nuna remained silent. The Biology Teacher's explanation sounds reasonable, but he felt something was up. "Okay, thank you Master. I'll study harder."

"Pooh hahaha, sorry sorry," Joshua shut his mouth trying to hold back a laugh.

Nuna ignored that and sat back in her place. The image looks unsatisfied at students who have the lowest grades in their studies. "This disciple, why are you laughing?"

Joshua choked, "Sorry, Mom."

"You should have made Nuna a role model. See his passion for learning." The image looks at the basketball that is next to Joshua's table. "Don't just play in class, okay?"

"Understand me, Mom." Staring at his teacher's angry face, Joshua immediately lowered his head and pushed the basketball down the table silently - silently.

"okay good. Next-"The image arrived - suddenly stopped and rubbed his distended stomach. "Chairmen of the class came here and shared the results. Then you study independently, go to pages 300 to 320 and summarize! Collect today."

"Good, Mom."

"Oh." The image gripped the corner of the table with the other hand still hugging his stomach.

"Master Teacher!" The students approached in panic.

"Please call an ambulance, Teacher seems to be giving birth."

"What?" Panic spread in the classroom.

Male students called an ambulance, while female students gathered near Citra.

"Mother Master water broke his armpit!"

"Oh no."

"Mother Teacher, be careful"

"Where is this?"

"Get aside, don't take away Master's oxygen!"

"Doni, your body is blocking the door."

An ambulance arrived and took Citra to the hospital. The students breathed a sigh of relief.

Nuna had just realized her analysis. If the Biology Teacher forgets not to write the word 'Except', then it should be considered a mistake about. So that the matter is eliminated and he will get a perfect score. Nuna was about to tell the Biology Teacher but she found no trace of him. Instead he found his classmates gathered in front of the blackboard looking at him elaborately.

Joshua whispered in Bimo's ear, "Actually an anti-social ama apathy is thinly different."

"Shh. Free you whisper - whisper if the volume lo yayag toa." Bimo gave Joshua another shot.

Nuna of course heard it, yet she did not care.

"Uhuk," Eagle, the class leader immediately announced, "Udah is calm - calm. Come back to each seat, read pages 300 - 320 and summarize. Covered up to me today."

Nuna who heard it immediately read the book and summarized. Suddenly someone shadowed her notebook, Nuna looked up and found the Eagle smiling brightly.

"Don't get your heart in, Joshua had chili breakfast today."

"Young, Lang. Don't be soooo! Come on up here if you dare." Joshua protested.

Bima hit his back this time. "Diem."

Nuna actually wanted to ask, what does the word Eagle mean. Joshua breakfast chilli? What does that have to do with him? How to give the correct response to the Class Leader? Was it by telling her the breakfast menu she had eaten this morning?

The eagle looked at the dazed Nuna. She was about to speak but Nuna opened her lips.

"Cabies contain capsaicin which can make stomach heartburn to diarrhea."

Nuna looked at Joshua who was sitting in the back row. "So don't eat chili on an empty stomach."

Joshua gaping, Bima hurriedly picked up Joshua's unwashed sports shirt and rolled it randomly. Then put it in Joshua's mouth that was wide open.

"Uhuk uhuk uhuk." Joshua's eyes were reddened by his stifled laughter and a sour taste in his mouth. He wanted to hit Bima but held her back. Didn't want to hurt his own hand to hit that steel wire muscle.

The eagle was stunned by Nuna's reply. He chuckled and walked to his seat. He seems to be worried too much.

◾◾◾

The rest of the class that day went smoothly, Nuna as usual got 100 on the other exams. After the class ended, he immediately walked out of the class.

"Good afternoon, miss," greeted Tanio as he opened the car door.

"Sore, Nio."

After sitting in the driver's seat, Tanio delivered the schedule of his next activity. "We're going to the piano lessons, miss. Continue at 6 to paint with Master Tang. And there's private tutoring at home at 8 to 10 p.m. Is there a change, miss?"

"No."

"Okay, we're leaving now, miss."

Nuna opened her phone and pressed the number 2 button. Connected calls.

"Grandfather."

"My granddaughter misses you." The voice of the old man sounded on the phone.

"I miss Grandpa too. Grandpa, my dad's family wants to invite me to dinner with his family. What do you say, grandpa?"

"I'm not coming." Nuna opened her laptop and typed something.

"Dear granddaughter, actually grandfather wishes you could end the cold war with him. He is your father, after all."

"I know, grandpa. All right, I'll come."

"good. Goody. What are you doing now?"

"I'm making a complaint to the Class Guardian."

"Grandson.is there a problem?" grandpa's voice sounded nervous.

Nuna sent a message to the Class Guardians and closed her laptop. "none. Just reporting the test score error."

Far away in a private hospital, Citra who was holding her cute baby arrived - suddenly felt a cold on her back.

"Oh. How'd it go?"

"I got 100 unless one test got 99."

"Grandfather's grandson is junius!"

"Miss, we will arrive in ten minutes" Tanio said.

Nuna looked at the scenery around and said, "Grandfather, I'll hang up now. Take care of your health, grandfather."

"Okay grandchildren, you don't get too tired either."

"Good, grandpa."

Clik. Phone turned off.

The car stopped in front of a third-story mansion. After the gate opened, Tanio drove the car into the courtyard.

Nuna got out of the car and rang the doorbell.

The door opened, "Please enter Miss Callista." The housekeeper welcomed Nuna.

"Thank you, Auntie."

Nuna put down her bag and greeted Master Piano, "Good afternoon, Master."

Karina smiled looking at her genius disciple, "Sore, Nuna. Today we will study Sonata in C Major, op. 1, no. 2 (II) by Giovanni Benedetto Platti."

"Good, Teacher."

Piano songs echoed in the living room. Tanio looked in amazement at the Young Miss who was shining more and more every day.

Dert. Dert. Incoming phone calls.

Tanio looked at the name of the caller that appeared on the phone screen.

Mr. Ferdinan

Doubtful - hesitating he pressed the accept button and walked out. Nuna caught her movements from the corner of her eye for a second before focusing back on pressing the piano keys.

"Good afternoon, sir."

"Hello, Tanio. Has my daughter accepted the invitation?" ask Ferdinan at the other end of the phone.

"Miss has accepted it, sir."

"He must have come, right? He must come, if you refuse, you must persuade him!"

Tanio recalled Nuna's conversation with his grandfather. "Miss hasn't told me directly, sir."

"The boy is as stubborn as his mother."

Tanio's eyebrows frowned.

"Later to tell me, he'll have to come."

Clik. Calls are cut off unilaterally.

Tanio stared at his phone in annoyance, pitying Nonanya for having a father like Ferdinan.

◾◾◾

After completing piano lessons, Nuna is currently painting on canvas accompanied by Teacher Tang.

"What's wrong with you, kid? You seem unfocused today?"

Nuna's finger holding the brush trembled. "Sorry, Teacher. Student's permission to rest for a moment."

Teacher Tang waved his hand. "Yes, yeah, have a drink."

Tanio handed Nonanya a drinking bottle, Nuna accepted and muttered her thanks.

After drinking a few sips of water and giving the bottle. Nuna looked straight at her personal assistant. "Please tell dad I'll come."

The drinking bottle in Tanio's hand almost fell because of the shock of Nonanya arriving - suddenly said like that. Did Miss know her dad called this afternoon?

Seeing Tanio's expression, Nuna said, "I know."

His father's voice was so loud and he had finished piano practice that he clearly heard their conversation. Even the words of the father,

"The boy is as stubborn as his mother."

still bothering.

"Miss.. "

"I'll practice now."

Nuna cuts Tanio's words and begins the technique of sitali breathing. He opened his mouth to form the letter O and placed his tongue behind his lower teeth which made his expression seem like he was sipping noodles. Taking a breath, Nuna then closed her mouth and threw her breath through her nose.

Tanio observed Nonanya doing so up to three times. Miss must be mad!

He has memorized the habit of Nonanya who breathes like that at certain times, one of which is when Nonanya is angry.

Nuna managed to calm herself down. He grabbed the brush and continued his painting.

Glancing at Tanio who was still stiff next to him, Nuna reminded again, "Please tell dad, I'll come."

Tanio looked at Nonanya.

"Now" said Nuna.

Tanio hurried out and called Ferdinan.

Nuna looked at the back of Tanio who disappeared behind the door. He then felt the gaze of his Painting Master.

"Is there something wrong with my painting, Master?"

"No, good job today."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Teacher Tang pura - pura coughed and patted the peak of her student's head. "Today's class is done. We continue the day after tomorrow. You can go home rest now."

Nuna's pupils trembled, she immediately stood up and bowed. "I'm sorry for this student, Master. The student is unfocused and ignores the Master's lesson."

"No, no." Teacher Tang frantically grabbed Nuna's shoulder and straightened her body. "Uhuk, Master forgot to have a dinner appointment with a colleague. So you can go home now."

Nuna looked suspiciously but Teacher Tang just turned his face away and picked up Nuna's bag that was on the sofa.

Tanio who just entered the living room arrived - suddenly received a helping bag from Master Tang.

"This.. "

Teacher Tang coughed again. "I had a dinner appointment with a colleague, so the class ended early."

Tanio nodded in understanding then looked at Nonanya. "Let's go home, Miss."

"Yes." Yeah." Nuna then looked at Teacher Tang. "Thank you for today's lesson, Master. Student's permission to go home now."

Teacher Tang smiled. "Yes, Tanio pays attention while driving. You guys are heart-heart on the road."

"Ready, Mr. Tang," replied Tanio firmly.

"Good night, Master."

"Night."
