"Nathas! There was a teacher asking about you. Are you going to the physics Olympics?" theresa said when she saw Natha in class. "Actually you are forced. But it's up to you."
Natha is the most intelligent in physics. Naturally, if the physics teacher submits Natha to the talent selection for the Olympics.
Seeing the silent Natha, Theresa was worried that Natha would not follow her. Theresa persuaded him, "Nath, let's just follow! International loh! The Olympics were held outside the city. You can boast of our school!"
The other classmates who were in the class nodded in agreement and supported him.
"What's wrong?"
Natha would open her mouth, but it closed again upon hearing the question of the person who had just entered the classroom. She's Aksa.
Theresa seemed very enthusiastic to answer Aksa's question, "Look, Natha was asked to participate in the physics Olympics. There was a teacher who came here.."
Aksa immediately looked at Natha with a bright smile, "Nath! Just accept! I will support you to the end!" verily spirit.
"Yes, Nath! We'll support you on the front row!"
"Thank you!"
"You have an intelligent brain, so physics must be very easy for you!"
"Yes! Besides being able to boast of the school, our class will also become popular because of you!"
"Fuckin' thick!"
Natha was in the crowd with a bustling voice that was the support of all her classmates.
Natha looks overwhelmed. He sighed deeply, "OK, okay. I'll follow him."
Natha's voice stopped everyone from speaking. The class became quiet. A few seconds later, the sound of the clapping of the arm from Aksa spread to everyone.
Classes became very crowded. They cheered for Natha's answer.
Natha's heart felt warm to get support from them.
In the past, they were not this enthusiastic. Natha felt alone. No one supported him. It is hated and ignored. All his efforts felt in vain.
It seems, God gave her justice-in life now.
Natha will try and not disappoint them.

"Nath! You are called to the office to discuss the Olympics," cried Aksa from outside the classroom.
Today is jamkos. So Natha just read books in class. Others wandered off somewhere.
Natha nodded in response to Aksa. Then, he went out.
"Would I go with you?" bargain Aksa when Natha is out the classroom door.
Natha shook her head, "No need. I'll just go there myself."
Aksa nengguk understands.
"I go first, dad!" pamit Natha who returned a sweet smile Aksa.
Natha began to walk her legs towards the office. It is not too far away, it only takes 4 minutes to get there.
Natha knocked on the door. Then, there was a voice from inside to tell him to come in.
Natha opened the chocolate-patched door. His view was greeted with shelves with a variety of books and papers piled up, teacher's desk, and long chairs.
Mala-teacher of physics, when he saw Natha enter, he immediately smiled, "Natha, sit down," he said, pointing to the chair in front of him.
Natha nodded.
However, Natha's movements came to a halt when she saw someone in the chair she was about to sit in. He just realized there was someone else in front of Ms. Mala.
Natha's forehead puckered dislike as she stared at the person.
Which will be his partner..
A galen?
Natha's heart stiffened. This is the first time he has met Galen since his rebirth. His heart is beating fast. Natha closes her eyes trying to hold back her memories of her past. Natha took a deep breath. After throwing it away he became a little calm.
Natha didn't expect she'd meet Galen this soon. He never met. Although at the same level, Natha is different from Galen. The class distance is quite far. So, Natha had nothing to worry about and avoid if she met Galen.
Galen is smart. However, he's a slacker. Natha recalled, Galen did not attend the Olympics in the past. But why is Galen following him now?
Galen and Miss Mala are confused to see Natha's unnatural inertia.
Then Natha looked at Ms. Mala with a smile that did not reach her eyes, "Mom, I'm sorry. I don't think I can follow the Olympics."
Natha's words made Miss Mala and Galen both frown.
"Who? Why Natha? You know each other, right?" mala said seeing displeasure on Natha's face as she looked at Galen.
Natha smiled, "That's not what I mean, Mom. I have something I can't leave at home" he replied between right and no.
At first, Natha would follow. However, after seeing Galen and also while remembering Abyan at home, Natha changes her mind. It's better to take care of Abyan than to be with Galen for the Olympics.
Although disappointed, Ms. Mala still nodded in understanding. It won't be too pushy.
Galen's expression changed. Galen knew what Natha meant. His heart was hot and he was upset. At first, he did not want to participate in the Olympics, but Galen heard that Mala told someone to tell and offer Natha to follow the Olympics. Galen was interested and followed him.
Unimaginable, Natha backed off. Now, when Natha looked at him, it was not an enthusiastic and happy look, but a dislike and a little cold look.
Galen is sure, Natha did not come for sure because she herself would be his partner. Galen was not sure of the reason Natha had said. Natha won't like and take care of that disabled man! Natha must still like it! Perhaps the dislike Galen saw in Natha's eyes to her must have been due to her not-so-marriage!
Thinking that, Galen's face slightly recovered.
"Then, I say goodbye, Mom," said Natha, kissing Ms. Mala's hand.
Madam Mala sighed heavily, "if you change your mind, meet mom here. It's still a few days away."
Natha nodded and smiled politely. Then he came out of the room. But after a step, someone's voice called out to him.
"Natha!"
Natha's immediate steps stopped. He knew whose voice was calling him. Natha was silent without looking.
"Why?" galen asked with a frown, after he got in front of Natha.
Natha did not need to pretend, she stared at Galen coldly.
His suffering in the past constantly flashed through his mind. Although Natha has a fear, traumatized by what Galen has done in the past, she tries to fight her fear.
Galen was increasingly confused by the cold eyes of the eyes. Moreover, Galen saw a very deep hatred. He never saw it. Wh why? Galen was a victim, too. He never expected, not Natha whom he married.
Natha did not answer. Nonchalantly even continued his footsteps.
Galen was so upset, he immediately pulled Natha's left arm, that Natha retreated back to back.
Natha's face was getting cold. Roughly, Natha threw down Galen's hand that was holding her arm.
Galen was shocked by his reaction. His face was clearly displeased, "Is that what you hate about me? Wh why? Why are you backing out? Is it because I will be your partner for the reason? Don't hate me, Natha. I myself became a victim of that changed marriage. I never thought they would sacrifice you to replace Nhita. I accepted this marriage because of you."
Natha smiled cynically, "Oh, huh? Then why should I be the reason you accepted the marriage?"
Galen doesn't understand Natha's attitude now. His attitude was very different than the last time he met her. Natha was very gentle when she talked to him. Her plain and beautiful face is always bright with lips that are always curved. But now? It's like Natha's somebody else. Real cold.
"Because I like you, Natha."
