As a form of strong protest against her aunt's actions, Kaluna deliberately pretended to be busy with her school activities so that the dating agenda with Rey was not realised.It was nothing, Kaluna had absolutely no interest in dating Rey or anyone else."Luna, where are you going?" asked Ola when she saw her niece who was busy putting books into a bag. "Don't tell me you have extra lessons? That's strange ...."Kaluna grimaced and did not answer immediately."If you're not taking lessons, how come you want to play outside?" asked Ola as she came closer to Kaluna. "Do you prefer to stay at home, or is it your aunt who has the wrong idea?"Kaluna cleared her throat briefly, then looked at her aunt."If I remember correctly, my school activities are really busy ... Usually, it's the midterm exams." Kaluna explained.Ola frowned in surprise."You're ... fine, Luna?" asked Ola as she touched her niece's forehead. She felt that Kaluna's change was too sudden and drastic."Be healthy, Aun
"If you have to, just say it frankly." Rey aka Estefan drove while commenting in his usual flat tone.Kaluna glanced irritably at the person sitting beside her."I already know that I have to, why are you-Mr ...? Argh, I don't know what to call you!" grumbled Kaluna who could no longer contain herself.When she was at school, she was still able to be respectful and polite to Estefan as her teacher. However, when she realised that Rey who was sitting next to her was the one who was mated with her, Kaluna felt like throwing a tantrum that very second."Call him whatever you want," Estefan said without looking at Kaluna. "The one at school or the one at home is the same."Kaluna exhaled loudly."That's the problem!" She became very emotional. "It's hard for me to deal with someone who's used to dividing himself into two personalities, why do I have to go undercover anyway?""Who's in disguise?""You!""Disguised as what?""The teacher at school!"Estefan was still driving calmly with no
Estefan was silent after hearing Dewangga's answer."Do you know Fiona, Sir?" asked Kaluna while looking at Estefan.The ice cream in each of their hands began to melt because they didn't eat it immediately."How could he not know my sister?" interrupted Dewangga with an expression filled with anger. "He's the one who made Fiona so depressed that she had to quit school!"Kaluna looked at Estefan questioningly. "Sir, can you explain what the Dewa .... means?""I'll explain later," Estefan cut in as he pulled Kaluna away."Wait, where's your responsibility as a teacher?" Dewangga asked emotionally. "You don't know what it's like to see Fiona cry almost every day, do you?"Estefan didn't answer and kept walking away with Kaluna."Why are you silent, Sir?" Kaluna glanced at Estefan. "Dewa won't stop until he gets what he wants.""Shut up," Estefan said without turning around."I said stop!" Dewangga had to pull Kaluna's arm to stop them, and the ice cream slipped out of her hand."Dewa!"
Fiona burst into hysterical tears when she heard her brother's words.Dewangga held her forehead. Fiona hadn't cried in months, but Estefan's appearance had destroyed everything."I can't believe it, Estefan won't see me!" Fiona roared in a heart-wrenching voice. "What did I do wrong? I genuinely like him, I really do!""I know!" said Dewangga, his heart still hurting when he saw Fiona in pain because her feelings for Estefan were not reciprocated. "I'll force Estefan to meet you!"Fiona was still sobbing with Dewangga stroking her back."Are you still sure about setting me up with Rey?" Kaluna asked when she met Ola at the dining table. "Rey has a complicated past with Dewa's sister."Ola held her forehead. Things were getting complicated, but she felt she could still capitalise on the opportunities created by the problems between Kaluna, Dewangga, and Estefan."Why are you so impressed with Dewa?" Ola commented cautiously. "Despite his betrayal, he's a good brother. I'm not surprise
Estefan clenched his fists."Dewa, stop! I'll do anything for Yohan!" Kaluna shouted again.Dewangga smiled and asked his friend to stop hitting Yohan."You're engaged to me," Dewangga said, looking at Kaluna. "I guarantee all parties will be safe without the need for bloodshed, that is if he wants to return to Fiona."Kaluna was silent with tears still falling."You don't have to do that, Luna ..." Yohan said in a soft voice. "You have to really choose ... the person you love ...."Kaluna burst into tears. "I can't let my friend get beaten up."Dewangga was still staring at Kaluna. "You answer now or ....""I want to get engaged to you!" Kaluna exclaimed. "But let Yohan go, Mr Reyvonda will come back with your sister!"Estefan looked at Kaluna in disbelief. "Don't be absurd!""Even if we get married, there will be hurt feelings!" Kaluna said sadly. "Fiona needs to be happy too, just like us."Estefan clenched his fists."So what?" Dewangga looked at Estefan. "If you won't take respon
Kaluna stepped into the room and froze for a moment as a young man with short black hair and square-rimmed glasses sat waiting for her with a judgmental look. “Kaluna Demetria?” the man asked in an ice-cold tone. The young man’s broad back arched slightly as he sat in his chair and his sharp eyes seemed to be judging Kaluna for a mistake that could never be forgiven. Kaluna was surprised by the atmosphere in the room that felt so different, plus the presence of the young man he recognized as Estefan, a math teacher and his homeroom teacher at Oasis High School. “You... called me?” Kaluna whispered, uncertainly looking into Estefan’s eyes hidden behind the lenses of his glasses. “What is it, Sir?” “Sit down,” Estefan pointed with his eyes toward the chair in front of him. Without needing to be ordered twice, Kaluna obeyed and immediately sat on the empty chair. “You’re a final year student, and you’ve changed schools several times based on the additional notes written by your tea
Kaluna immediately asked Aunty Ola to organise her move to school because she no longer wanted to go to the same school as Dewa and Rara. In her new school, Kaluna who had lost trust in people tended to be antisocial and would overreact if a student deliberately nudged her. Countless times Kaluna has had problems with male students, both seniors and juniors, skipping class, not completing assignments, and doing test questions carelessly. Amazingly, Kaluna is always serious during midterm or grade promotion exams, even though in one semester she can change schools at least twice if she is bored. How can it be that easy? Aunty Ola was the type of person who didn’t want to bother and she just donated a million to Kaluna’s new school using the money left by Kaluna’s deceased parents. “Kaluna, I’m talking to you.” Estefan’s voice rang out again, snapping Kaluna out of her reverie. “Yes, Sir,” Kaluna nodded as she sat up straight in her seat. “Do you want to repeat your transfer to an
Some students who were there immediately got their attention when they saw Kaluna and Yohan who were fighting in the classroom corridor. “Oh no, keep them away!” “Scared! Be careful of getting hit!” Kaluna was not afraid to face Yohan even though he was a boy, while Yohan himself also proved his words that he did not hesitate to hit girls. Kaluna attacked several times, although she missed because it was obvious that Yohan was good at fighting. He quickly turned the tables and forced Kaluna to defend herself from his attacks. “This is a girl’s fighting style!” Yohan taunted, his proportional body twisting around Kaluna and before he knew it, one of her arms was already in his control. With a single jerk, Kaluna’s arm was easily twisted. “You’re a real bloke, aren’t you?” Kaluna commented with her face pressed tightly against Yohan’s shoulder. “Fighting with girls must use full power ....” “No need to bring gender into a fight.” Yohan cut in while the students watching were busy
