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
“Look around when you sneeze!” protested Yohan between disgust and anger as he rubbed his face. ‘Pretty but dirty,’ Yohan thought to himself. “Sorry, maybe someone is talking about me.” Kaluna reasoned while rubbing her nose. “Seriously,” Yohan grumbled as he went to his own class. Kaluna shrugged and let Yohan get out of her way. It was hard to tell if they were friends now or not since the fight that happened a few days ago. “Kaluna, the bell has been ringing since fifteen minutes ago.” Estefan who happened to be passing by immediately reprimanded one of his students who was still casually sitting outside the classroom. “Yes, Sir,” Kaluna replied while turning his head. “I’ll catch up later.” Estefan shook his head and thought that Kaluna deserved special counselling for her unruly behaviour. Kaluna entered the class after getting bored playing with her mobile phone outside. The teacher who was teaching chose to let Kaluna pass in front of her rather than give a reprimand tha
“Kaluna is here,” Estefan reported to Mrs Sita as if nothing had happened. “We can start the coaching, Mrs.” Estefan deliberately stepped aside from the door to make way for Mrs Sita. “Kaluna?” called Mrs Sita as she sat on a chair. “Starting today, you will receive special guidance from me and Mr Stefan.” Kaluna received this information with an unremarkable face. “I hope you welcome the intention of me and your homeroom teacher, Kaluna.” Mrs Sita continued. “You have a decent academic aptitude, so it would be wise for you to put it to good use.” Kaluna just nodded his head without any enthusiasm. For her, it would be much better if the school decided to expel her immediately and there was no need to organise any guidance for her until this point. Because for Kaluna, it was useless. “Why are you gloomy?” Yohan commented when he saw Kaluna playing with her mobile phone in front of the class when she should have gone home during school hours. “After getting reprimanded again in
Kaluna could not argue, although she desperately wanted to do so. However, Estefan's sharp gaze seemed to lock Kaluna's lips tightly so that he could not say a word to refute him.Even though resisting the teacher's words is Kaluna's expertise so far.On the other hand, Estefan also knew that Kaluna was getting pushed around by him, and that was a good place to start.As a teacher, where would Estefan want to be defeated by his own student."When does the tutoring start?" asked Kaluna with a lazy face."Next week," Estefan replied firmly. "Don't forget to be on time."Kaluna took a deep breath, while Estefan told she to go back to class.That teacher was annoying, Kaluna thought to herself. Any other teacher would have kicked she out of school without a second thought and he would have happily left that very second.Kaluna spent the rest of class that day thinking of ways to get Estefan to kick her out of Oasis High School instead of having to take special guidance like this."Yohan,
Kaluna was playing with her mobile phone when a hand reached out and took it from her."Mr Estefan ...?" Kaluna was a little surprised."Who told you to play with your mobile phone?" asked Estefan coldly as he looked at Kaluna. "I told you to stand up.""I did, Sir." Kaluna nodded as she straightened up."You're wearing a miniskirt again?" asked Estefan probingly as he swept his eyes over Kaluna's skirt, which was just above the knee. "You can't understand my instructions very well?"Kaluna just grinned to herself, she was surprised that Estefan only realised it now. Even though she had been wearing her miniskirt again since a few days ago."The problem is this, I took the fastest one in the closet." Kaluna reasoned. "I got this one."Estefan sighed, he was not a patient person actually. However, his profession as a teacher required him to have patience in dealing with his students."I'm confiscating your mobile phone," Estefan said flatly. "And you must remain standing until the rest
