MY BELOVED KNIGHT'S
CAN'T WAIT
“Actually what happened to you Janeta? Is there anything you know about the terror issue? What...”
“No... no Ernest.. I also just heard it yesterday from some friends.” Ernest just smiled hearing how Janeta cut his words.
I can't possibly tell Ernest that I actually suspect that the people who buy information from me are the intruders. I may be caught in the fight, because it is considered to help terror actors. I really don't know what to do about this.
Janeta said inwardly in an unsettled manner, as she had only realized that yesterday there was a case of arrest of Robin who was suspected of being a terror and had made many threats to Tira.
“I also did not expect that Robin could act recklessly like that. Though all this time Robin is a person who is known to be friendly and polite. Isn't that what you think?” Ernest asked as if he did not know that he had previously found cctv footage that did show how Robin was threatening Tira in the library at that time.
Even so, Ernest still tried to be calm and not intimidating so that Janeta did not feel cornered and instead made him not be honest in front of Ernest.
Ernest's smile, which was always soothing for those around him, made Janeta sigh.
“Actually...”.
“Janeta!” The voice of someone calling her made Janeta cancel her intention to speak frankly to Ernest.
Well, I don't think I'm really ready to tell Ernest the truth. I'm really afraid of being considered a plot with that terrorist.
Janeta said as she strode her head towards the source of the voice where Angel was waving her hand.
“Ernest, looks like I have to go now. Next time maybe we can meet and talk about it.” As if the call convinced Janeta to immediately move away from Ernest so that Angel did not suspect him, thinking that he told Ernest about how he had always been Angel's informant as well.
“I will wait for Janeta, and don't worry because I'm a reliable person and can keep secrets.” Ernest deliberately said in a tone that was quite a soft voice with a smile, so that Janeta felt comfortable to tell what was in her mind to Ernest.
“Not now Ernest, but I'll tell you something when I'm ready…. Sorry... I have to go now.” Janeta replied to Ernest's words in a voice that sounded much slower, and hurriedly moved away from Ernest.
“Actually what happened, Janeta's attitude really made her curious and suspicious. Does he know anything about Robin as a terror?” Ernest said as he pretended to no longer care about Janeta's departure and immediately stepped into Romeo's room, to check if Tira was still there.
At once, of course, also to check whether Luis is still with Tira until now.
After Ernest walked far enough from his class and there were not many passersby around, Ernest immediately made a call to Romeo.
“Why Sir? Is there any latest news about the attacker?”
“No... has nothing to do with it. We've handed it to the police, let them take care of it. I want to tell you that Tira just came from this place.” Romeo said with a smile.
“Is there anything important that you have told Tira?” With a curious heart Ernest immediately asked.
“I just told him that it was better that he immediately thanked Luis, and the campus was planning to give a promotion for him to become the dean. With at such a young age it can be dean at this campus, will make Luis more prominent and have a promising career at this campus.” The words of Romeo made Ernest stop his footsteps and find a place to sit.
There was an uneasy feeling hearing how at the moment everyone was praising and amazed by Luis' actions.
“Tira said, for the meeting to thank Luis, you have arranged it, so I wanted to contact you..”.
“Don't worry Mr. Romeo, I've arranged the place and time of the meeting. From Gracetian there will be a representative from the Tira family to thank Luis.” Ernest's answer made Romeo look satisfied, because he thought that Luis' actions would definitely have a big impact on the campus, because Gracetian's work must be very honest with Luis, he said, although until now Luis has not known that Tira is a Gracetian princess.
“Good then, hope everything goes well. Okay, I'll hang up, 'cause I have to teach after this..”.
“Eh wait for Mr. Romeo.. where is Tira now? Is he still there?” Before Romeo actually hung up, Ernest hurriedly inquired about Tira's whereabouts.
“O, no, I called you after Tira left my workplace. Maybe he's home, because I heard him talking to a guy named Edi, who said he'd pick him up.” Romeo answered Ernest's question subconsciously that it made Ernest feel disappointed, not managing to get some time to talk to Tira a bit before tomorrow he picked Tira up to the mansion.
“Then thank you Mr. Romeo. Good day.” Ernest said before hanging up his phone call.
“Hah...” Ernest let out a long sigh as soon as the phone connection had been cut off, then with a slightly lethargic step, Ernest walked towards the parking lot, having realized there was no point in him staying on campus anymore, the girl was no longer there at this time.

Even though Ernest had trouble enjoying his sleep last night, but this morning he looked so fresh and so excited because 2 hours away was the time that Tira had set for him to ask Ernest to be picked up at the Shaw mansion in order to be able to return home his apartment.
Not Edi or Steven, but obviously Tira asked him to pick her up, making Ernest's chest continue to beat fast imagining soon he could meet with Tira, even going to be in one car, he said, after a long time it seemed clear to him that Tira continued to shy away from him without him knowing what reason Tira was doing all that.
