IVONA: 1World 2Names
Chapter.26 Plain

Gossip spreads faster than the wind blows. The news of Ivona's bad behavior reaches Vaya's ears. Of course it makes Vaya happy, without him having to bother Ivona himself who actually formed a bad self image.

Vaya realizes that Ivona's temperament has changed far from before, from an introverted girl to a wild naysaying girl. Even so, it does not change the facts about Vaya's assessment. In Vaya's eyes, Ivona is still a stupid girl with an ordinary life, and forever will be.

Vaya enjoyed the scenery along the school corridor, a sly smile etched beautifully on her lips. The students form small hordes and are engrossed in gossip about Ivona.

"If it wasn't for our homeroom teacher, I would have made him regret ever getting into this school" Kelly told his gangmates.

The girl showed her frustration as well as her powerful attitude to be more respected by her friends. "Just try if Mr. Patrick did not warn me, of course I made the transfer boy cry for forgiveness to me" he continued with a laugh.

"You don't have to worry, there will be other times to teach the new boy a lesson, and we will always support you" Jessica replied. He glanced at his two friends for approval.

Merry and Margaretha agreed with Jessica.

"I think we have to come up with a new plan to avenge the transfer child's treatment" Margaretha said.

Kelly seemed to think, what plan would make Ivona submit to him.

Vaya who heard the talk of Kelly and his friends immediately joined. "Are you guys talking about the same topic?" asked Vaya who was suddenly standing next to Kelly.

Kelly and her three friends were shocked, as they fell silent.

"Don't be surprised, we're on the same side, right?" Vaya smiled at Kelly and her friends.

"I'll tell you one secret about Ivona" Vaya said with sparkling eyes.

Kelly looked suspiciously at Vaya, as well as her three friends.

"But .. you have to promise that you won't spread this news to anyone" Vaya said. His eyes looked at the four people before him in turn.

Although not entirely convinced by Vaya, but Kelly and his three friends compactly nodded.

"Actually, Ivona is a former mental hospital patient" said Vaya, who left Kelly and his friends in disbelief.

"I'm serious" Vaya assured.

"How did he get into a mental institution?" asked Merry curiously.

"It's actually an old story, but it doesn't matter. I'll repeat it for you guys" Vaya smiled to herself, as if showing her good intentions to her friends for sharing information.

"Ivona once pushed me down the stairs on purpose. The child has poor emotional control. Sometimes he becomes a sweet and quiet boy, but at the same time he can turn into a scary monster. As you can see in class," said Vaya who made the story exaggerated to make his friends believe the opinion he built.

"Because of that, my brothers put her in a mental hospital, of course, because they don't want to put me in danger if Ivona is near me" he said.

Kelly and his friends are increasingly surprised by Vaya's confession.

"Do you know what happens next?" ask Vaya.

the four people before him were compactly shaking.

"Since then, Ivona's been getting angry. He kept going on a rampage in a mental hospital, so the hospital had to give him a sedative injection to control Ivona."

Kelly and his three friends are increasingly devoted to listening to Vaya's story.

"But after that, Ivona turned into a quiet girl and always aloof. She turned out to be a strange girl, even in her old school, she was once advised to leave school" Vaya said. Seen the faces who believe in what Vaya tells.

"Is his soul that bad?" ask Margaretha.

"You think I'm lying!" vaya was offended.

Vaya showed a disappointed look. "It's all because of my family's role of being so sorry for a pathetic girl like her. You know not if my family has any influence in this school."

"However, my family is not a person who has no compassion, which is why they put Ivona into this school" he said with arrogant intentions.

Kelly who heard Vaya's words to Ivona could only smile coldly. Kelly knows very well what Vaya's purpose is, he's down to cocky. It can even be judged from the story, if Vaya so hated Ivona. This is Kelly's chance to take advantage of Vaya.

"I didn't expect that if the Iswara family really had a noble heart, they didn't even hesitate to finance a crazy girl to go to school with her beloved daughter" Kelly said.

"That's how my family is." Vaya shook her shoulders.

"But .. crazy girls are crazy." Kelly smiled disdainfully.

"I'm going to get him back to the asylum, so he realizes that's where he's supposed to be. For that, you have to help me." Kelly looked at Vaya seriously.

They smiled as if they agreed to conspire.

Upon returning home from school, Ivona discovers there was a missed call from an overseas number who called her phone many times. This is Marcus's number, the man who had previously called him to invite him to immigrate and thrive in his country. Ivona knew why this man was so persistent in persuading her, because of his purposeful academic papers and the visualization data he sent.

Ivona immediately called the number and was immediately picked up.

"Hello" said Marcus.

"Hello, it's Ivona" replied Ivona.

"Oh .. yes, Ivona. How, have you thought about my offer before?" ask Marcus impatiently.

"What can you give me if I join your company?" ask Ivona confidently.

"Whatever you want" Marcus replied. This man was very interested in Ivona's computing capabilities, so he thought it would be very profitable if Ivona could join his company.

"Give me a three-month salary at the beginning" Ivona replied firmly.

"It doesn't matter, as long as you can join us here as soon as possible" Marcus replied.

"Send me the contract of labor" Ivona pinta said.

"Fastly," replied Marcus.

Eventually, Ivona agrees to sign a temporary cooperation contract with Marcus's company.

Ivona closes her call and puts her phone in a bag. As he turned about to leave, he was surprised by the presence of William standing behind him. Inwardly, Ivona was afraid that William would hear all of his conversations with Marcus, especially when William's gaze was directed at her. The man looked at her suspiciously.

"W-what are you doing here?" ivona asked a little nervously.

Instead of answering, William looked at him more closely, as if he did not want to miss an inch of Ivona's body. This made Ivona even more angry.

"What are you doing, do you want to be rude to me!" ivona's jolt that couldn't stand William's suspicious look.

"Why are you so innocent?" william was half conscious.

"What?" squeak Ivona.

What this man meant. What does it mean to say he's innocent?
