The sound of bells echoing around the corner of the school sign that the time to go home has arrived greeted happily by the students at the school where Amira and Tristan are also others studying. They scatter out of their classes with various expressions. Some came out with laughs, limply, also with sad expressions like Amira and Tristan.
“Tristan.”
Tristan's steps stopped when the Princess approached him. The beautiful girl with the hair in the tall midget smiled so sweetly at Tristan who was just silently staring at her because the girl intercepted her steps.
But it was not only Tristan who stopped walking. Amira who also heard the voice of the Princess calling Tristan's name also stopped stepping both feet in the school corridor. Amira turned and found Tristan with Amira behind him.
Amira sighed softly then shook her head and just passed by not wanting to know anything about Princess and Tristan again. Amira is trying not to care about anything about the two.
“Princess.” Tristan muttered with a faint smile.
“We go home with yuk? Oh yes, your sister called me. He said your number is not active. He said tonight we'd both take a meal out.”
Tristan let out a slow breath. Tristan stared at Amira and his eyes widened when Amira was not there.
The princess who saw Tristan's expression immediately followed Tristan's line of sight. The princess actually knew Tristan was indeed paying attention to Amira. It's just that Putri pura did not know because Putri was also trying to get closer to Tristan.
“What's Tristan?” Princess's question made Tristan directly look back at her.
“Ah. Nothing is.” Tristan answered with a look of annoyance.
“How so? Can't you pick me up later? It just so happened that my driver was sick so he couldn't stop me. My parents are also out of town. I can actually bring my own car. But both my parents didn't give me permission. I dare not violate it.” Said the Princess so naively in front of Tristan.
Tristan clucked resentfully feeling unimportant to hear the Princess' chatter. And also Tristan felt he did not have to agree to invite his brother to dinner together. What else if the Princess should also be invited. Tristan really felt it was very unimportant to him.
“Sorry very sorry Princess. I'm really males again. So I can't pick you up. I can't have dinner with you and sister Williana either. So meningan you are the same brother I who ate dinner together. I don't want to go anywhere anymore. Yes it is.. I'm first.”
Tristan passed by without even listening to what the Princess wanted to tell him. Tristan even sped up his steps deliberately avoiding the Princess.
The princess who was upset because of Tristan's attitude of stomping one leg looked at Tristan's back. The girl always tried to attract the attention of Tristan to be willing to be the eyes of Williana, but Tristan just always seemed to try to avoid it and silence always pay attention to Amira.
“Awas aja you Tristan. Look, I'm going to drive you to your sister. Let Amira be taught a lesson.” Grumpy Princess.
While Tristan, he continues to search for Amira's whereabouts among other students who pass by. Several times Tristan clucked for assuming Amira's disappearance from his sight was due to the Princess intercepting his steps.
Tristan further accelerated his pace towards the schoolyard. His smile slowly expanded as his gaze fell on Amira who was already near the wide-open school gate.
Tristan ran over to Amira. Every day after their relationship was no longer close, Tristan did follow Amira silently. Tristan even willing to walk until both feet feels sore at night to be able to follow Amira and make sure the girl is safe until home. And so far Tristan feels her sister has done nothing which means Williana doesn't know what Tristan has always done.
When just a few steps away from the school gate, Amira's steps are intercepted by Williana's car.
Not willing until her brother hurts Amira in any form, Tristan immediately approached without feeling the slightest fear. Tristan wants to protect Amira from everyone including her brother.
And from a distance Edo and Joshua also saw that. They both also know that the closeness of Tristan and Amira is about by Williana, Tristan's sister.
When it was close enough to allow Tristan to hear whatever Amira and Williana said, Tristan stopped walking and stood there, behind Amira who was unaware of her presence.
While Williana, he got out of his car with a brown envelope filled with money. Williana stared for a moment at Tristan who was still behind Amira then focused her attention on Amira who was just silently staring at her. Williana offers Amira money to keep Amira away from Tristan. But Amira resolutely refused the money from him.
“Amira.. A little girl who has nothing. You can go to school because of scholarships. Again, I give you a chance. Take this money and get away from Tristan. I will guarantee your life will be quiet after this.” Williana said arrogantly.
Amira just shut up. And from the glass of Williana's luxury car, Amira accidentally saw the figure of Tristan who stood not far behind him. Amira sighed and then looked again at Williana who was luring money in a brown envelope that was definitely not worth that much. But whatever money Williana gave Amira, it still won't change Amira's stance. Because Williana's money will never be able to buy Amira's self-esteem.
“You guys are still small. Your future is also long. You better focus on yourself because life in this city is very harsh. And everything needs money. This money will make your life easier. How?”
Williana smiled disdainfully looking at Amira who was still silent in front of her.
Amira then smiles and picks up the brown envelope containing the money in Williana's hands. It makes Williana feel victorious because it feels successful to show Tristan that Amira much prefer money than him.
Amira took out half the money and counted it.
Tristan who saw it immediately lowered his head feeling disappointed because he thought Amira was the same as the girl in his past.
“Kakak's right. I am still a child and my future is long. And therefore I am sure this money will not be enough to make me happy. This money is still very less for me, brother. And therefore I also affirm once again the same brother. I don't need this brother's money. I am sure that in the future I will be more successful than my brother. Thanks for the offer. Just save this brother's money.” Said Amira again gave the money to Williana.
Tristan who heard that straight back straightened his head. Tristan's smile immediately expanded so wide hearing Amira's resolute rejection of Williana.
Williana's jaw hardened hearing what Amira said. The woman tightly grasped the brown envelope in her hands because of her emotions.
“You will regret Amira.” Press him.
“No brother. I would feel very sorry if I received money from my sister. I excuse.” Amira's reply then passed just like that from before Williana.
Tristan sighed in relief with a wide smile on his lips. Now Tristan is convinced that Amira is indeed the girl he must pursue.
After Amira moved away, Tristan approached her brother and stood right in front of Williana. Tristan showed a big smile to Williana.
“Now you understand, right? not everyone deifies money and thinks money is everything.”
