I'm Not a High School Boy
CHAPTER 27: The Unexpected Helper

"Mayea ..."

From behind Bagas, Tika immediately ran to hug Gisel. This time, he did not mind Tika doing that at all. Not only Tika, Adit turned out to also come with them.

"Where do you know?" whispered Gisel to Tika who helped her stand up.

"Sstt .. shut up first. Let Papa take care of it" he replied in a whisper as well.

"You can't stop this marriage, Bagas. I have a right. I'm his guardian." Clara began her argument as usual.

"I have rights too. He's still in school. She is not old enough to get married. You cannot marry a minor. I can sue you on behalf of Farhan." Bagas also does not want to lose.

"Omong empty! You're just bluffing me. I'm his guardian. I have every right to decide for him."

"I can make you lose your guardianship rights if you continue to force this marriage." Bagas issued his ultimatum, leaving Clara speechless.

"And tell me who let him in? I think I said it clearly yesterday, Clara," said Bagas later, who sounded furious as he saw Rafael standing beside Clara.

"You can't ban it, Bagas. You said it yourself. As long as I'm home, it means she can come in as my guest" Clara bravely denied.

At that instant, Rafael began to make a sound. "We both know you can't do that, Mr. Bagas Adiwijaya."

All eyes were finally on Rafael who was currently standing face to face with Bagas, making Clara retreat behind him. Rafael seemed to have switched the Bagas talks so as not to discuss the issue of his being at home.

"Clara has full responsibility for Kanaya's future because the will of the late Emma Pramudya asked her for it. That means whatever Clara decides for Kanaya is for Kanaya's own good."

Gisel could not guess what Rafael was thinking at the moment. The man continued to show the look of his flat face with no expression. His confident and confident manner of speaking clearly showed he was a lawyer who had a lot of experience. No wonder he was not afraid when faced with Bagas who was older than him.

Seeing his opponent who was not a snot, Bagas advanced slowly against Rafael. He used his height to corner Rafael. "So you mean, you want to explain to the judge, what kind of mother is your client to marry a minor to a man five times older than her?"

"I think Mr. Bagas misunderstood. They'll just sign the marriage certificate. The consummation of their marriage was only held after Kanaya graduated from school. Is that right, Miss Clara?"

"Really. How could I possibly be like Kanaya," said Clara stammeringly, clearly indicating she was lying.

Rafael looked back at Bagas with confidence that what Clara said was the truth. But, who would believe such a joke?

"We can continue this debate throughout the day if that's what you want. Even if necessary we can continue this in front of the judge. I'd also like to know what the judge said if I included evidence of this man's track record with him. It would have been better if we were both reduced to ashes but this marriage could have been stopped. Isn't that right, Mr Rafael Diandra?"

Rafael looks unhappy with Bagas' words. The two of them were now looking at each other with their sharp eyes. If each of them had been given a sword, they might have been attacking each other with it.

There was not a single person in the room who dared to speak or move when he saw Bagas and Rafael arguing. Neither did clara.

"Ahem ..." Mr. Abraham suddenly surprised everyone who was there by chortling while standing from where he was sitting. The assistant who usually accompanied him helped him stand up.

"No need to argue anymore. Cancel this marriage."

Clara was the first to not accept the decision. "But, Mr ..."

"We'll talk about this another time ...," said Mr. Abraham cutting off Clara's sentence.

"Eer, good morning ..."

The voice of someone turned everyone's attention towards the front door. Looks like a man in his neat clothes complete with his suit and tie. No one recognized him, but not Gisel. He knows who that man is.

"Rey's secretary? What are you doing here?" he thought.

Gisel can see Adit and Tika astonished by the man's presence, indicating they do not know about this. But, Bagas seemed to know something, as he looked quite calm.

"S-I'm his guardian. W-who ...," asked Clara nervously.

Secretary Rey immediately stepped forward shaking Clara's hand. "My name is Juan, I am the secretary to Mr. Reynard Hardiyanto of Falcon Corp"

"F-falcon? P-a multinational import export company i-it?"

Clara is still confused as to Juan's purpose in looking for her. Not much different from Rafael who from earlier was still arguing with Bagas, now he is also curious about what Bian will say.

"Reynard Hardiyanto? How does it feel to have heard, huh?" whispered Tika next to Gisel. Adit also seemed to be thinking the same thing.

"What, what does an s-sized Falcon company want with my stepdaughter?"

"Am I and the Madam able to speak in a quieter place? Just me and the lady."

Clara eventually leaves with Juan to Farhan's study. Mr. Abraham, who had said he was leaving, now chose to sit instead of going as he had said before. It seems like Mr. Abraham is also curious about the purpose of the Falcon Corp towards Kanaya.

Especially Gisel. He is even more upset that Rey is suddenly planning something without her knowledge.

For more than 30 minutes, Juan and Clara had not left the study. I don't know what they're talking about.

"Sir Reynard?!"

Tika suddenly shouted. Everyone looked at him directly.

"He's not Mr. Reynard, our teacher, is he?" cried Tika again.

But before anyone could answer him, Juan and Clara finally came out as well. Juan was the first to approach Gisel.

"Congratulations, Miss Kanaya. Officially, Miss is Mr. Reynard's fiancee."

"What?!"

When Juan said that, Clara looked very worried. Sometimes he glanced at Mr. Abraham and Rafael.

"And this is a ring for Miss Reynard" Juan said again, giving a ring box to Gisel. When he opened it, it was really a ring.

Again, Clara glanced at Mr. Abraham who currently looked very unhappy.

"What does all this mean?" The anger of Mr. Abraham was finally at its peak. He started yelling at Clara. "You need to explain this!"

Clara just fell silent and looked down in fear. He did not dare to look at Mr. Abraham.

And Rafael. Although the man had not said anything, but from the look on his face he was upset.

Gisel began to believe that there was something between Mr. Abraham and Raphael.

As the emotions of everyone in the room stirred, Mr. Abraham's assistant came to give him a cell phone. Mr. Abraham grabbed the phone violently.

"What's wrong?" he said with a snarl.

The look on Mr. Abraham's face still showed annoyance as he answered the phone. But over time, the look on his face began to look anxious. Until finally, he decided on his call.

Abraham kept staring anxiously at Juan. At the same time, his face clearly showed a huge question mark who he was facing.

"I'm sure you've got the news. Mr. Reynard's message is to stay away from his fiancee from today, or the consequences are worse than this" Juan said with a wide smile.
