Forever Young's
BAB XXXV Go to School?

Nuna's return was welcomed by Nino. The small body immediately hugged Nuna's waist.

"Sister! Nino misses you, ", said Nino. He looked up at his brother.

Nuna saw her sister blink funny. He carried her and showered kisses on both of those fat cheeks. "So I miss you too, baby."

Suherman looked at his two grandchildren. He reached out with a hand rubbing the head of his granddaughter. "Congratulations, my favorite granddaughter managed to get champion one."

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"Wow. Great sister. Nino wants to be in the Olympics too."

"Yes, if it's big, surely Nino will get first place as well" said Suherman. "My granddaughter, Grandpa wants to talk to you."

Nuna thought the school must have told her grandfather about the National Summer Olympics. "Good, Grandpa." He then handed Nino in Tanio's arms before following his grandfather to another room.

"Grandfather got a call from the homeroom teacher. He told my grandfather that my grandson had to stay three weeks in Landon to attend the Summer Olympics at the national level."

"Grandfather, I won't go."

"Is it because of Nino?"

Nuna did not answer.

Suherman breathed. "Grandpa decided Nino would go to school in June."

"Grandfather." Nuna disagreed. "It is better to give him a home schooling education. Nino is too dangerous to study in school. A sharp corner of the table, a ruler, even his friend's pencil can hurt him."

"Nuna, we can't let Nino grow in a greenhouse. She needs to socialize together with friends her age."

"Good, Grandpa. I've understood. But if Nino gets hurt, allow me to pull her back into home schooling."

"Yes, Grandpa promised. For that you can take part in the Olympics calmly. There's Grandpa who'll look after that adorable grandson."

"Well, I'll go and not disappoint Grandpa."

Nino sat on the sofa observing the expressions of her grandfather and brother. They had been silent for ten minutes. Tanio who was participating in this awkward atmosphere could only count the sheep in his heart.

"Nino, you've grown tall. So you're going to school in June" Nuna said, cheering her sister on.

"really? You didn't lie, did you?" Nino approached her brother and hugged him. "Yeay, Nino went to school. Grandpa, Nino to school. Tanio, Nino's finally going to school."

Nuna took her sister and hugged her in her lap. "Sister's promise, Nino will obey and study at school with friends huh."

"Yes. Hehe."

Nuna's expression softened. Maybe all this time he was wrong to have locked Nino at home. Yet he just didn't want Nino to have an accident outside.

After winning the gold medal at the National Summer Olympics Physics Branch, Nuna returned to school. At Monday's ceremony, the school announced the names of the students who had excelled in the Games. Nuna stood with the others in front of hundreds of Liver School disciples. There was no expression on his face. For Nuna, winning this Olympics was the same as her task was finally done.

Nuna's next assignments are the Semester Central Exam (UTS) and Semester Central Activity (KTS). Since then Rigel beside him kept asking him to run the race. One student can only take part in one race. And their mainstay Joshua certainly chose basketball. So that the faithful Nuna in the second position of each test run to the attention of class XI MIA I.

If it was just an ordinary run, Nuna would not refuse. But in this KTS, they will hold a colour run. Dirty, his clothes will get dirty with colorful paint.

"Come, Nuna. Remember about our agreement" Rigel persuaded.

Nuna was astonished by Rigel's calculations. But he was lazy to argue so Nuna thought 30 days would be over in March, it was even more than 30 days!

"I don't like to play paint."

"Lo can wear a raincoat if you don't want to get dirty."

"Why not just you?"

"Gue played basketball. Come on, Nuna."

Nuna's ears buzzed. Rigel never gives up even when they are busy UTS, he will not miss to stop by the classroom where Nuna exams.

UTS is complete and KTS begins. Nuna was wearing a white T-shirt and training pants. Her long hair was tied into one. He took a position at the starting line with the other participants

"Go Nuna, you can," cried Joshua.

"Gas pol Nuna." Bimo gave me support.

Suddenly Nuna had a headache looking at their behavior.

"Available. Ready. Start."

Nuna ran and led in front. The distance in this race is five kilometers. Without stopping, Nuna became the first to enter the field.

Byurs. Colorful paint decorate Nuna white shirt. Oh, he's got to take a shower now.

Rigel stood awkwardly accepting the reward in exchange for Nuna. The girl disappeared quickly like a ghost. The committee repeatedly called Nuna's name but there was no response. So the Eagle pushed Rigel forward.

The cheers from the students became loud upon seeing Rigel. They were fascinated with hair as red as fire and smiles as sweet as sugar. Their hearts are melting.

"Sir Rigel, I love you."

"Yeah, Rigel. Saranghae!"

"Gue likes it, you're so cool, Rigel."

Rigel waved his artist-style hand before descending towards the Eagle and scolding him. "You should go forward woi. I'm the head of his class."

The eagle chuckled, "But you are full of smiles."

"Who's that guy, huh?"

The eagle glanced at Rigel's red ears. He chose to give up.

Rigel sees Nuna just back at noon. She handed him the gift and criticized him for simply disappearing. Nuna ignored the nagging of her best friend and opened her gift. There is a beautiful tumblr, but Nuna already has it.

"Make it up to you" Nuna handed Rigel a tumblr.

"Eh?"

"Your face is red. You feverish?"

Rigel. "Who has a fever?" He hugged the tumblr and put it in a bag immediately. "Lo love you, you can't take it again."

"Yes." Yeah."

"Where is school going?"

"Les painted."

"Gue can come?"

Nuna remained silent. Does this teenager intend to follow him for 24 hours? Not enough to disturb at school, he also wants to disturb her outside?

"I'll ask the teacher." Nuna knew if she rejected him straight away, surely her ears would buzz. He contacted Master Tang and turned on the speaker button for Rigel to hear his teacher's refusal directly.

"Hello, Nuna."

"Good day, Master. Sorry to bother Master. I want to ask permission to bring my friend later? Did the teacher allow it?"

Teacher Tang fell silent. Wow, his student has friends! He was curious about Nuna's friend. "Yes, of course I can. Teacher will be waiting for you."

Nuna blinked confusedly. He glanced at Rigel who was grinning towards him. "Good, Teacher. Thank you." Thank you."

Phone turned off.

"Okay, so you're leaving right away?" ask Rigel spirit.

"Yes." Yeah."

"Gue needs to bring his own painting tools?"

Nuna took the tote bag and opened it in front of Rigel. "No. You can use mine." Just once, thought Nuna.

"Thanks, Nuna." - "Thanks." Goody! Rigel will convey his intention to take lessons later so that after the 30-day deadline is completed, Rigel can still continue his mission to make Nuna regret, hmph!
