Chapter 23 - He could talk?

One month later…

A black flashy Four-seat racing car was packed before the school gate as the engine was still running and two figures emerge out of it, which they both had the school outfit on with and the driver window glass scroll down. Sia face showed as she said "You two should take care as I would come pick you up exactly at 5pm and I'm of to work" and Cei replied "Okay and have a good day at work, sister".

Rio nodded as he walked away with Cei at his side and approach the gatemen who he showed his ID with Cei's own before passing through. Sia also drove away after seeing the two get in and Rio walked with cold demeanor into the lift as Cei kept calm remembering his words about how everyone in the school has bad intention but would act nice to her.

Deciding to reject anyone as she knew how Rio had suffered and she would not easily let them get away by hurting her one and only love, she followed the rules of entering the class with Rio after they heard Miss Atina say "We would be having a new student in our class today and you guys should be nice to not cause any trouble".

The class door open with everyone attention turning to see who it was and to their surprised, it was Rio with a little difference as they watch in shock but he only step into the class with Cei also entering as everyone turn their attention to Cei who followed Rio from behind. The boys in the class found her to look beautiful compared to Richel and Risa but she had another feature that moved them as she was prettier than the two girls.

The boys started to talk quietly to each about how beautiful she was and even the girls did same as pointing out that the two girl were no much to her, which Rio who had been focused on taken his seat was stopped by Miss Atina saying "You have missed class for months and even spoiled the sports after disappearing, then you appear all of a sudden thinking you would have it easy?!" with an angry voice but Rio just passed her by and went to take his seat. Noticing the new student on the other lane and not turning his head to even look, he took his seat and took out his school tablet-note.

Miss Atina quickly changes her angry face and turn to Cei saying politely "Nice to have you in my lecture room and can you introduce yourself" as everyone eagerly waited for her to speak.

"I'm Asura Cei and it is nice to meet you all. As I'm also a pure blood sister to Rio" Cei said breaking the happy face on everyone and they all said in shock "Rio's sister?!" as Miss Atina also couldn't believe but remembering that they entered the class together, her once smiling face turn pale and Cei said "May I have my seat, now?".

The look on Miss Atina quickly return to normal as she said "You may have your seat, Cei" and Cei walked pass by everyone as she took her seat beside Rio as it was a joined seat but nobody wanted to seat near him.

Cei smiled to Rio as she pulled out her tablet and asked "Bro, can you help me with the tablet-note?" as Rio change his cold expression with a warm smile before helping her. Risa who was a little bit close as only the path that separate them couldn't believe what had happened and even Richel, Kane, John, Chris and Ray where dump-fold as they watch him in shock. Miss Atina started with the lesson as focused to the board and quickly clear their shock away as they listened very carefully to her teachings.

As the lesson was going on smooth and Rio seems to not correct anything, his classmate thought that he might have lost memories and even Miss Atina could not believe that he was just looking on the board.

Cei was much more concern as she had noticed so many mistakes and was just wanting to hear his words, looking cold as always and not showing any move, Cei raised her hand and Miss Atina looked at her before responding. "I likely want to know the formula for the solution and also, can we continue with the studies" said Cei and Miss Atina quickly corrected the mistakes before telling her that she was been testing them.

Rio sigh in ward and turn his head to the window side as Cei look at him with a smiling face, which made Miss Atina angrily called Rio to pay attention to her teaching but he only gave her a stare before turning back to his window and Miss Atina watch in a beating heart. Cei distracted her mood as the teaching continue and later came to a close.

As Miss Atina was about to leave, Cei said "Bro Rio, can we have our launch in the class?" and Rio replied warmly "Yes, we can but I prefer to us the bench under that tree as my eating place" as everyone watch in shock asking one another if Rio just spoke. Miss Atina who didn't expect the blow stare at the two siblings and left to her office, which the other student in the class started to talk about whether they were in a dream but Cei replied "We should go as I'm kind of hungry" with Rio agreeing "Sure, let go".

Now their dream was not one but a reality and Rio with Cei walked out of the class leaving everyone face pale.

Risa said to herself "He could really talk? This is not possible! How could he talk and have a family? This might be one of his plans to get me back" as her eyes were full of disbelieve with his body trembling from shock. As she was in deep thoughts, Richel approach her saying "You said he was once your husband but you seem to be shock like everyone else, are you sure he is your husband as he seems to now talk and even have a pure sister by his side" with a sinister smile and Risa watch her in annoyance.

She didn't say a word but just burst into laughter and stood up with only a phrase into Richel ears "What a pity to the poor dump girlfriend" as Richel angrily watch her, which she also replied "Look at a widow who can't even accept the fact that she doesn't belong to a man" and walked away.

Rio on the other side was under the tree with Cei who gave him his lunch and Rio thanked her before starting to eat as she looked at him while they eat separately as she notices his mood being calm around her, which as they finished eating and resting there, Cei asked "Why did your mood swing?" and Rio smiled replying "You must understand that no matter how you try being good and show much kindness, humans would still break it like a class".

They both went into a silent mode as Rio noticed he had spoken out of himself for the first and Cei thought "Bro Rio really have been through a lot and it is not surprising for me to hear his broken words as they talk in a much impossible manner but it is true. He really is hiding such a big burden and doesn't want us to know since he cares much about us than we know, I will surely have to let him overcome it otherwise he can do the impossible". Rio notice that she was overthinking and he said "You don't have to think too much about what I said as I only went a little upside down and we should head back to class" as he stood up, which Cei nod following with a smile on her face as she started to ask about what they would do next and he replied "Hmm, we can continue from where we stopped at home as it would helpful for the exams and then, we can join the last lesson that would take place in the chemical lab" walking pass other students as they watch in shock.
