looking towards his class line. Tata smiled loosely. His face is so
cheerful. Then his hand held the pendulum of the necklace he was wearing. He tried
looking for Ari in her class. But because it's a long way and closed
the disciples in front, Tata did not see Ari. But Tata believes Ari is
seeing now. Ari was looking at her holding the pendulum necklace that she
put on. Because it means so much to him that the necklace can stand on
podium as it is today. And so does Ari mean to him to this day
