Anindya gracefully picked up her teacup, blew on the surface, and then took a small sip.
"Mmm~... The tea is delicious. Thank you, Auntie!" Anindya said with a sweet smile and looked at Sekar.
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment!" Sekar replied with a proud laugh.
Julian watched their interaction with a confused expression.
"Since when mom become close with Anindya?" Julian asked, looking at them both.
Instead of remaining curious, Julian plucked up the courage to ask.
"Mom... Why is Anindya at our house?" Julian asked.
"Oh, that's because she said she came to wake you up. She's been here since 5:30," replied Sekar, who was cooking.
"W-what!" Julian said in a surprised tone and expression.
"Since she said she's is your girlfriend, so I let her in" Sekar said cheerfully as she walked toward the kitchen.
Julian glanced at Anindya, who was enjoying her tea, then thought to himself.
"So she's been here for 30 minutes!?" Julian thought, staring at Anindya with a surprised expression.
Afterward, Sekar served breakfast of fried chicken and spinach soup. Anindya looked delighted and said,
"Thank you so much, Auntie!. Your home-cooked meal looks delicious!" Anindya said with a friendly smile.
Sekar chuckled and patted Anindya gently on the shoulder.
"Ah, you're so talented for teased! Anindya. Please eat I hope it suits your taste" Sekar said with a smile.
Julian, still confused by Anindya's presence in his home, could only sit with an awkward expression. He glanced at Anindya, who seemed to be quietly enjoying her breakfast. Julian simply sighed and chose to enjoy his own. After finishing breakfast, Julian quickly got ready for school.
After all the preparations were complete, the two of them said their goodbyes and headed to school.
"Auntie, Thank you for breakfast" Anindya said, bowing slightly as a sign of respect.
"You're welcome, hohoho," Sekar said with a friendly laugh.
Sekar approached Julian and whispered.
"You're lucky, Julian, to have found such a beautiful and kind girl," Sekar whispered with a mischievous tone and smile.
Julian remained silent with an awkward expression, looking away, while Anindya lowered her head, embarrassed by Sekar's compliment.
Not wanting to be teased by his mother, Julian finally rebelled and said
"Ahh, Enough!, I'm going!" Julian shouted in an annoyed tone.
Julian started walking out of the house. Sekar and Anindya were surprised, and Anindya called out to Julian to wait for her.
"Wait for me, Julian!" Anindya said, trying to stop him.
Before following Julian, Anindya bowed slightly to Sekar, and then Anindya began to follow Julian, while Sekar waved and smiled at them both.
"Be careful!" Sekar said with a shrill smile.
Anindya waved back with a friendly smile, while Julian continued walking indifferently.
On the way, the two of them chatted.
"Anindya, I want to ask you something," Julian asked, looking ahead.
"Yes! What's up?" Anindya replied cheerfully.
"How long have you been an Assassin?" Julian asked.
"Since the third grade of junior high school, But i'm been training since the first grade of junior high" Anindya said softly.
"I see... Then why did you become an assassin?" asked Julian.
"Um... Because I want to kill criminals!" Anindya replied with a cheerful tone and smile.
Julian was surprised to hear this and said.
"O-oh, I see," said Julian with an awkward expression.
"Last question. How do you know where I live?" asked Julian.
"That's a secret~" replied Anindya with mischievously smile.
Julian was disappointed with Anindya's answer. Anindya glanced at Julian, wanting to ask him something too.
"By the way, Julian... Can I ask you something?" asked Anindya softly.
"Yes, what is that?" replied Julian.
"Why do you keep your distance when we walk together?" asked Anindya softly, glancing at Julian who was walking in front of her.
Julian kept a distance of 10 meters.
"I-it's because I don't want to cause a scene at school" replied Julian.
But that just made Anindya smile mischievously and made Anindya quickly walk towards Julian, then she put her arm around Julian's left arm. Julian was surprised because Anindya suddenly put her arm around.
"W-what are you doing?" Julian asked, his face flushed and his voice filled with shock.
"I just wanted the whole school to know we're dating, hehe," Anindya said with a mischievous laugh.
"Ahh, I was keeping my distance because I was still thinking about yesterday" Julian said awkwardly.
Finally, the two of them walked together, Anindya holding Julian's arm. When they arrived at school, the whole school was in an uproar seeing Anindya holding a boy's arm, and the whispers from the students began to reach them.
"Hey, is that Anindya?" one of the students exclaimed.
"Y-yeah, if I'm not mistaken, that guy's from the sports majors," another student said.
Hearing the whispers of the students made Julian feel a little embarrassed. He could only continue walking into the school, trying to ignore all the gossip.
"Hee~, so they're really dating, huh?" Wiro said, holding his chin with his left hand and looking out the window directly at Julian.
"Hahaha, right, so he wasn't playing a prank on us, huh?" Alvin said, standing up and glancing out the window at Julian.
Reader's Point of View:
Mataram Vocational High School is a private school offering four majors—Sports, Theater, Computer Science, and Arts. The school consists of three buildings. The first is the main building in the center, the second is to the right of the main building, and the third is to the left of the main building.
The secondand third buildings are connected to the main building by three bridges, for a total of six bridges. The bridges are located in the center and connect the first, second, and third floors. These bridges serve as pathways for students and teachers who need to reach a particular classroom. Each building has three floors and five classrooms.
In the middle of each pair of bridges is a medium-sized building. This medium-sized building has an elevator and a spiral staircase—both of which allow students and teachers quick access from the first to the third floor. The upper floors of the buildings are connected to the bridges on the upper floors, while the lower floors are connected directly to the first-floor bridge. Behind the lower bridges is a mini garden with a Crystal Sphere Fountain—which at night shines beautifully like the moon.
The main building is rectangular, extending to the left and right, while the second and third buildings are rectangular, extending to the rear. The main building is entirely white, the second and third buildings are entirely red, and the medium-sized building is gray.
Each building has stairs for ascending and descending floors—elevators are only available in the medium-sized building. Each building has windows on each side, offering views in all directions.
To the right of the second building, there is a garden with a variety of plants, which is typically used by students for studying and relaxing. To the left of the third building, there is also a garden. What distinguishes it from the garden near the second building is the long koi pond that extends to the back. Each building has a rooftop, the main building's rooftop is for students to relax, the second building's rooftop is for futsal, and the third building's rooftop is for badminton.
In the schoolyard—directly in front of the three buildings—is a field used for sports, flag ceremonies, and events. Meanwhile, behind the three buildings is a parking area for students and teachers who bring their own two-wheeled vehicles. Access to the parking lot is via a medium alleys to the right and left of the school gate. The alleys is accessible only to two-wheeled vehicles and has only four lanes—two for entry and two for exit.
The parking lot is very secure, as it uses Smart Parking technology, which allows access using student and teacher cards. Therefore, the boom barrier will not open without the card. If students and teachers lose their cards, they must report it to security, who will then search for their data. Once the data is found, the security guard will use their card to open the boom barrier. Boom barriers are placed at the entrance and exit.
To prevent errors, the school has developed a device called a Mobile Remote. When the Smart Parking RFID sensor is not working, security will use the device to open and close the boom barriers by tapping the student's and teacher's cards on the device.
