“Where is that little box?” kiara asked as they decided to leave the small school. Kiara's face frowned as Vano ignored her request to open the box they had found in the park.
Vano shook his head hard. “Ag somewhere safe. Obviously, you don't need to know and don't need to see it.” Relaxed words.
Kiara grunted in annoyance. “Aish... You suck! You've changed so much, Vano Alexander!” his pedicab.
Vano. “Yah... Looks like I have changed,”. “Sorry,” call again.
“For what apologies?” Kiara chuckled little hearing the word glide from Vano's mouth directly.
“Now... Where are we going, huh?” muttered the girl while staring at the view of the beach on her right while walking down the path.
The road on their left has now begun to be crowded by passing vehicles. It was getting late and the clock was showing at 12 o'clock. The sun was shining right above their heads, yet they could not feel its warmth at all.
Vano took something out of his pants pocket and put it in again. Seemed hesitant. He recalled that just before he left with Kiara, the middle-aged woman who met them this morning gave him two tickets.
“It was the entrance ticket of a newly opened amusement park in the area near here. There were some people who gave it free as a promotion, but they only gave 2 tickets. I can't just invite one of the teachers or students. So this is for you. Take Kiara there. She's the toughest girl I've ever met, even though she may always seem cheerful, you have to look after her. Make him happy. I don't know what's going on with you guys, but I think you've been a little different since the last time I saw you, Vano, but whatever it is, you can't hate Kiara. She's a good girl.”
It seemed that the middle-aged woman could actually read her mind as Vano listened to the woman speak. Later, the woman gave two tickets to the amusement park. If Vano wants to invite Kiara, now he is looking for the right time. Therefore, he took out and put the ticket back in his pocket hesitantly.
“I want to go somewhere where we can spend this afternoon and afternoon, I want to be back on the beach behind the hotel. We don't have much time,” Kiara said as she looked straight ahead, her hands swaying as her feet stepped.
“But where to…? I haven't been traveling here in a long time, do those places still exist?” mumbling again.
“Kia,” call Vano. He stopped his steps.
Kiara. “Hm?” he muttered while stopping.
Vano finally pulled out two tickets that had been in his pants pocket. Kiara initially just stared at the ticket with a confused look, but twinkles began to appear and a smile was engraved on Kiara's lips.
“You... Where did you get it from?” jemari lentik Kiara immediately grabbed the two tickets from Vano's hands.
“So the middle-aged woman gave it to me,” replied Vano. He put both his hands in his pants pocket while watching Kiara who looked excited given a free ticket.
“She is not a middle-aged woman, she is Desi Komala's mother,” Kiara correction.
“What's the difference? He's both—“
“He has a name, Vano. You should get used to calling someone by his name here. Have you never been like that in America?” koara asked half insinuatingly.
Checkmate. Vano never calls someone by name. He did not even bother to remember someone's name before he introduced himself. That's because he doesn't want to look too friendly and vulnerable. And gradually it became a habit.
“What? Don't compare me to the old Vano,” cut Vano who already thought Kiara would say that he had changed from the old Vano and it would make his ears hot. He really doesn't like being compared to others. Even with his own sister.
Kiara could only sigh, . “How so? We want to come here?” bargained for.
“Bby,”
"it's very close from here, so it looks like we don't have to take the bus. Let's just walk, come on!” get Kiara excited while leading the way in front of Vano.
Actually, it was better, Vano commented inwardly although his mouth did not let out a single sound while his feet continued to follow Kiara's footsteps from behind.

True said Kiara, the place turned out to be closer than expected. They only need to walk a few dozen minutes until they reach their destination. Now, the two of them had stood in front of the entrance of the amusement park while queuing up. The queue is quite long and dense. Apparently, the public also seems to be curious about this newly opened amusement park. Massive promotions were held successfully attracted more visitors in the first days of the opening of the amusement park.
Vano let Kiara queue in front of him while he was behind the girl. Not that he meant being protective, only that he felt he had to protect the girl by standing behind her. Who knows if someone is trying to seduce or even tease her, right? Hey, she's not bullshit, Kiara has a pretty face. Who is the man who is not interested?
Wait for. What was he just thinking? Did he just declare that he was interested in the girl?
“Vano, come!” kiara's exclamation from the front broke Vano's daydream.
Vano looked ahead and nodded. Apparently Kiara had exchanged their tickets and had freely entered the amusement park. Vano followed Kiara from behind. As soon as the girl stepped her feet wide into the spacious amusement park courtyard, Vano could see the girl taking a breath for a moment and smiling sweetly wait, sweetie?! Then turned to look at Vano as soon as he realized the presence of the man around him. The girl immediately aligned her steps with Vano's steps.
“What do we want to ride first? Roller coasters? Ghost house?” kiara's proposal while pointing at the roller coaster rides and haunted houses located opposite.
This girl is really crazy! Vano doesn't even like both! Of course he would reject it! But looking at Kiara's look of disdain, Vano gulped before finally exclaiming,
“Certainly roller coaster!” vano is quick and spontaneous. After that, he cursed himself.
Kiara smiled broadly. It is well known that Vano does not like rides that trigger adrenaline. He swore, if their circumstances were not like this; Vano forgot about it and he was in the process of re-entering the man's life, Vano would have preferred to wait outside the vehicle rather than riding it both though. The man was indeed handsome, but in matters of guts, the man would definitely be at the bottom.
“Then come on!” yell Kiara again.
“Come!” reply Vano with a defiant tone. He walked ahead of Kiar to the roller coaster ride and queued with people.
