The Tippingback of Rania's World
Episode 84 - Tumba

"Since I saw the photo, I started to think that Rania hadn't been lying." Mikko played the tip of the pen in between the fingers.

"But strangely, why is it that the Qiandra is being cared for by the Austeen family, and Rania is with Bu Jenni? Does that mean their parents know each other?"

Mikko who felt that she recognized Rania from childhood became very confused. The problem is, recently Rania said this complicated thing.

"Has the Austeen family deliberately distanced Rania and cared for the Qiandra, for the fallout of their mystical ritual?"

"But if that happens, Chloe and Geffie will be judged by everyone. As the public knows, Qiandra is their real daughter."

"Arrgh... Does nothing make sense here? Why would I be stuck in their midst, anyway?"

Mikko continued to struggle with his thoughts.

"Mikko! Hey!"

Salman who was sitting next to Mikko rocked the Manado man's chair with his feet.

"What?" mikko said while putting on the look of a snatcher. Teeth tight and eyes bulging.

"That, you were called Mr. Reihan from earlier," Salman said again.

Mikko turned her neck forward. He realized that he was in class at the moment.

"What's your problem with my lesson? Why did it go by itself from earlier?" reprimand Mr. Reihan.

"Duh, apes me," Mikko thought inwardly.

"Maclums, Sir. Her father-in-law has been hit by a drug case. So he was upset," cried the other students boisterously.

"Loh, are you dating Qiandra?" ask Mr. Reihan.

"Ih, no sir. We're just friends, really," Mikko argued.

"I'm daydreaming anyway not because of Om and Aunt, anyway" Mikko murmured inwardly.

"It's good that you're not dating her. School used to be right, only later to find the right soul mate," said Mr. Reihan.

"Good, sir." Mikko breathed a sigh of relief seeing that Mr. Reihan was not getting angry.

"But you don't be relieved first. Fast forward. Repeat the lesson you explained. Punishment must continue" Reihan said.

"Wow, kill me. Kirain has survived the punishment, "inner Mikko.

As smart as Mikko is, there are still lessons that he has not understood, this is one of them.

"So why did you ask to see me? I can talk over the phone."

Wilda chose a chair that faced outwards. The atmosphere of twilight in the corner of the city was very pampering to the eyes. Soil and grass that is wet after rain, gives off a distinctive fragrance that makes the viewer feel relaxed.

"Silver must have heard the news about the Austeen family" Rania said after ordering drinks at the waitress.

"Who doesn't know the news?" reply Wilda.

"Eat him, I need your brother's help."

"Help? I'm the one that nobody even recognizes? How do you release them from the law? It's the same as smearing charcoal on your face" Wilda commented.

"Yes continues? What does this have to do with us?" Wilda.

Indeed, the former analyst has understood, where the direction of Rania's talks. But he wanted to open the minds of the teenager, to look at this problem from various points of view.

"Silver will experience it firsthand, who deserves suspicion and who remains on the side of the company" said Rania.

"Haaahs... It seems like this girl forgot her position now. He still felt that everything could be done easily," said Wilda.

"Ehem! Here's Rania. I understand very well you're very worried about Chloe and Geffie, and the company your family started," Wilda said.

"But, this is not a small problem that can be solved with just two people. If only your parents can they fall, let alone us who do not have any power," Wilda continued. He could no longer talk to Rania.

Until the next few seconds, Rania was unmoved. His hands were clutching the mug containing the hot chocolate he had ordered.

"If I had guessed who should be suspected, it could not have given a definite answer. There is no solid evidence for our allegations. It'll backfire later." Wilda kept trying to resuscitate Rania.

"So don't ask me, after you find out who made the troublemaker, what are your plans? Want to fight them directly? In what way?" sergeant Wilda's all-out.

"Right-natured brother. I'm like a moon-inducing ridge" Rania said later. The girl's face was grim.

"I don't want to break your spirit, Rania," said Wilda, feeling guilty. "But, I just want to open your mind, if this matter is so complicated. Not our domain anymore" Wilda said again.

"I understand" said Rania. He threw his eyes out. The blue clouds slowly turned orange.

"I even forgot that my position is not what it used to be. Which, to solve my problem with Qiandra alone is still deadlocked," said Rania again.

"Not only that, until now there has been no real evidence that my speech at the time was true, right? I could also stab you in the back" Wilda continued.

"Maybe I used to be too naive, thinking that all the people who worked for my father were good to our family. Especially with the nature of generous mama and papa," said Rania lirih.

"Rania, let's just hand over all this to the same legal apparatus. I'm sure, the people in the company won't stay silent on this matter either." Wilda tried to encourage.

"I know that too. The company's legal team must have moved to solve this problem. But can they be the ones making the plan?" Rania.

"Rania, now you're too full of negative energy. Remember, not everyone wants to overthrow a company. Among the many directors, there must be some who remain firm," Wilda said again.

"Well, hopefully," said Rania without enthusiasm.

"From that, there's something I want to talk to you about" Wilda said.

"What's that?"

"On the spirit that we consider Rania the Princess. I think he was a victim of a collision" whispered Wilda. He does not want their chat to provoke the curiosity of other visitors?

"Whose slum? What did he say to Brother?" rania asked in a whisper as well.

"This was just my guess, seeing that he was always in pain and fear. His face was often sad too. Unlike the spirit of Gennie who always looks angry," said Wilda.

"And maybe that's also the reason why only I know your true identity" he said

"But to be the victim of whom? Company people?"

"I think there are other entities that we don't know play a big role in this. Including how you and Qiandra can move places without being known to everyone," Wilda said.
