Barnes sits in his study while stroking a digital child watch that is not a brand and is patterned on superheroes. Barnes looked at the watch and smiled meaningfully. The Superman-patterned watch is a gift he got from Amanda when he turned twelve, just one month before Amanda was later separated from him, taken away by Amanda's Omnya.
While continuing to grip and stroke the Superman-patterned watch, Barnes's thoughts drifted to thirteen years ago, when he was still in the sixth grade of Elementary School. It was early Sunday for a change of seat and Barnes was overjoyed and fortunate that, at last, his dream was achieved. He managed to sit down on a bench with Amanda.
The fat Barnes, who always felt less confident and never chose to sit in the front seat even though he was ranked one in his class even ranked one in his school at that time, awaiting Amanda's arrival with a pounding heart.
Bryna was class-different with Barnes and had already walked into her class. However, every time the break bell rings, Bryna, Barnes and Amanda gather to eat their lunch together.
Barnes began to admire Amanda who always won champions in the arts such as singing, making and reading poetry, and dancing. In Barnes's eyes, Amanda was the perfect blend of feminine and brave.
Barnes smiles broadly at Amanda when Amanda finally walks into class and walks up to her and puts her school bag into a desk drawer and sits next to her. Amanda returned Barnes' smile with her sweet smile and gave a greeting, "Good morning"
"Good morning Amanda" Barnes answered Amanda's greeting awkwardly because at that time, she said, in Barnes's heart, the seeds of love begin to emerge and Barnes begins to realize that he really likes Amanda more than just a classmate.
"You've done your math PR?" ask Amanda while taking out the Maths taskbook from her bag.
Barnes nodded his head. Amanda asked, "Can I borrow it? to match my answer, hehehehe, you know, I'm really weak at math"
"Can. Of course I can" Barnes rushed to pick up his maths assignment book from inside his bag. Then he gave it to Amanda.
"Thank you" Amanda instantly matched Barnes' answer with her answer and Amanda let out a long sigh. Barnes frowned and immediately asked, "What's wrong?"
"One half, hehehehe. Damn it me" Amanda was about to hit herself on the forehead and Barnes swiftly blocked Amanda's wrist and said, "Don't get used to hitting your forehead! Emm, if there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me"
Amanda turned to Barnes and Barnes removed Amanda's wrist. Amanda then said, "That's why I came so early. I want you to teach me math, hehehehe. Let my Maths scores not suck anymore"
Barnes smiled happily and then he began to teach Amanda some mathematical formulas and theories that were not yet understood by Amanda.
Amanda smiled happily right at the moment when Barnes finished giving an explanation and Amanda then said, "You're smarter than our teacher. Taught it to you, I could be more catchy. Thank you Barnes"
Barnes harrumphed in embarrassment and said, "Sama-sama"
Three other female friends of Barnes, who were also classmates with Barnes and Amanda saw it. Then they approached Barnes,."I, Cleo and Juni, would also like to be taught the same Math.kamu if it's Barnes. Can you?"
Barnes turned to Amanda, "Can I teach them?"
Amanda turned to Barnes with a frown on her forehead then smiled broadly and said "Of course I can"
Barnes looked at Amanda and muttered in his heart, why can it? why don't you say no?
"Barnes?" Cleo called Barnes. Barnes gasped in shock and turned to Cleo, "Oh yeah, sorry! which one do you not understand?'
"We sit there! The trunk was wider" Cleo and her friends took Barnes to stand and moved to the long bench by the teacher's desk.
Barnes then taught the other three female friends without a smile. And Cleo immediately said, "Kok if Amanda you can always smile? But like us, you never smile.
Barnes just looked at the three friends with flat faces and asked, "Have you understood my explanation?"
"Yes already. Thanks to Barnes" Cleo said.
Barnes did not return Cleo's thanks and he got up with a flat face and returned to his stool.
In the final seconds, before their class teacher was present in the classroom, Amanda placed a rectangular box on the table. Barnes turned to Amanda, "What is this?"
"Birdays for you. Happy birthday Barnes" And without Barnes guessing, Amanda peeped a flash of Barnes' cheek and Amanda smiled broadly and stared back at the board, waiting for their class teacher to come.
Barnes immediately stared, smiled widely and continued to rub his cheeks.............
Tok, Tok, Tok......The knock on the door instantly broke Barnes' daydream. Barnes spontaneously put the Superman-patterned watch back in his desk drawer and said, "Come in!"
Personal assistant and his men came in. They saluted Barnes and said, "You're going to start going undercover in two weeks, Commander" said Barnes' men.
"okay! Is the team I've formed ready?"
"Ready Commander!" peek at Barnes' men.
"That means for a week, we can go home to our family first, right? To relax for a moment before starting the mission"
"Ready Commander!"
"Ready Commander!" barnes' men saluted again and turned the military-style body around and left Barnes' room.
Barnes then looked at Leon, "We're going home to my parents. I miss my family so much"
"Ready Master" said Leon.
A few hours later, Barnes had a good time at the dinner table with Bryna, Prince, Papa and Mama"
"Bryna and Prince already have a boyfriend. When did you get to know your girlfriend to Mama?" Chery looked at Barnes with her mischievous smile.
"Nothing fits, Ma" said Barnes with a face and a flat tone.
"Sister Barnes is the Commander, Ma. Cool, dashing, saucy. It must be what Sister Barnes is looking for, the perfect woman. Isn't that right, brother?" Prince blinked one eye at Barnes.
Barnes only smiled faintly in response to Prince's joke.
"Yes! Not like you, any model girl you make friends but friendly, hmm!" Chery sighed in front of him Prince while shaking his head.
Prince and Bryna giggled. And Barnes just smiled faintly.
"If it's Barnes, Papa looks like Papa. One heart only for one girl. Nah! who is that girl? wait for the play date, hahahaha. Aren't you, Barnes?"
Barnes just throws a thin smile at everything and only Bryna does not comment because she understands Barnes. Bryna understood that Barnes, still waiting and looking for Amanda Dirgantara. Their childhood friends.
The chat at the dinner table was enough to make Barnes' heart and mind disturbed. Barnes again remembered Amanda Dirgantara and he so wanted his search for Amanda Dirgantara soon to bear fruit so that he could soon introduce Amanda Dirgantara to Papa and Mama as his future wife. The thought of it made Barnes could not sleep well because, he so missed Amanda Dirgantara.
The next day, Barnes woke up early and decided to jog around his house. He jogs to get rid of his great longing for Amanda Dirgantara.
Meanwhile, elsewhere, Amanda Dirgantara woke up early in the morning and started her work in the morning as a milkman delivering freshly packaged cow milk to several customers. In the morning, Amanda took out the packaged milk at her neighbor's fresh cow milk shop and drove it to several customers. During the day she helps her other neighbors become caretakers and babysitters. And in the afternoon he worked in a boutique. Amanda works odd jobs and slams bones to be able to immediately collect money and get away from the cruel noose of Aunt and her cousin for eternity.
Due to exhaustion and intense sleepiness, Amanda subconsciously turned her bike into a garden and passed through the green grass instead of the sidewalk provided specifically for the bike path.
Amanda continued to ride her bike with great sleepiness and without direction. Amanda was shocked when she saw a man warming up in the middle of the green grass. Amanda immediately shouted, "Surge!" when his brain is no longer able to coordinate well with his legs and hands. Amanda forgot to put the brakes on and her feet continued to move her bike pedal to the front.
Bruk! Amanda chose to drop her bike to the left side, instead of bumping into the man who was warming up. And the man he almost hit, then stood tall in front of Amanda while shaking her waist.
Barnes keeps staring at Amanda and has no intention of helping Amanda because, Amanda looks dirty from a milk spill packed in a glass bottle. All the fresh cow's milk packed in a broken glass bottle and some of the fresh cow's milk spills hit Amanda's shirt.
Instead of standing up, Amanda kept staring at the man in front of her. In addition to his astonishment at the manly posture and handsome face of the man, Amanda also felt astonished because, she could not hear what was in the man's mind.
Just this time I found someone I can't hear what's going on in his mind and geez! he's very handsome and handsome. Inner Amanda.
"Ehem! I know I'm very handsome but it's also uncomfortable that you keep looking at me like that" Barnes said as he continued to shake his waist.
Amanda stuck out her hand in hopes that the man in front of her would help her stand up. One second, two seconds, up to three seconds, the man just stood in front of him and let Amanda's hand slip empty in the air.
"Please help me stand up! My leg hurts" Pinta Amanda.
"I'm not used to holding a girl. Emm, wait a minute!" Barnes runs to the edge of the park to pick up a tree branch and runs up to Amanda to stick it out to Amanda, "Hold this twig and I'll pull you!"
Amanda held the twig and after being pulled by Barnes, she managed to stand up. Then he screeched angrily at Barnes, "Why are you so arrogant anyway? it's about rich kids so, you're allergic to holding the poor like me?" Amanda rates the man in front of her as a rich man from the outfit that the man wears.
Barnes gasped in surprise and said, "You almost hit me. You fell by yourself too. Why are you so angry and telling me?"
Amanda snorted angrily and Barnes re-established Amanda's bike and said, "Hold your bike! So if you bring a bike, don't daydream!"
Amanda held her bicycle and circulated her gaze down. He took a deep breath seeing that all the bottles of fresh cow milk had broken before he delivered them to the customers and the day began to take off.
"I'll pay for everything. How muchisit?" barnes asked as he pulled out a few pieces of money from his pants pocket.
Amanda could not say anything. Amanda regretted her stupidity for not being able to stop the tears that poured out and she could only lower her face because, ashamed to cry in front of people she did not know.
Barnes's stunned. He was always confused whenever he saw a woman crying. Barnes did not understand what to say and had to act how. He could only sculpt and continue to stare at the woman he did not know. While Amanda still kept her head down and cried as hard.
