"Excuse me. Excuse me, brother." Said a courier knocking on Xavera's door.
Fortunately, Xavera did not visit his mother this afternoon. As is commonly done if you are home alone, Xavera always took the time to read some reading books in the living room of his house.
If asked where Xavera meets his daily needs, the answer is from his Mother's Brother and also help from the foundation managed by Papah Tania after the incident of his mother's accident.
Xavera quickly walked towards the door of his house to open the door.
"With Brother Xavera?"
"Yes right. What's up, sir? Eumm, who are you looking for?"
"I was assigned to deliver this for Brother Xavera." The messenger said giving a white paper bag in front of Xavera.
"Who are you, sir?"
"His name is Emperor, Brother. He said don't forget to wear it for tomorrow. Because if it's not used, he'll come here and stay at Brother's house."
"What's? That's right." Xavera said he did not think out with the mind of his upperclassman.
"Alright, Brother. Please accept yes." Say again the courier when he saw Xavera's hand never reach for the goods in his grasp.
Xavera was forced to accept it. "Thank you sir for driving her."
"Sama-sama, Brother. It's been my responsibility. I'll excuse you."
"Please, Sir."
After seeing the courier go forward his motorbike, Xavera glanced at the item inside the white Paperbag. And so shocked was Xavera after opening his contents inside the room that it turned out..
"Why did he give this to me. Did he see the quarrel between me and Tania yesterday." Inner Xavera. I feel very ashamed if it is true.
"Why did you give me this, brother. I'm so embarrassed to see you later. Don't I have to wear it. But what if until he really forced himself to stay in this house. He's a freak and he's reckless." Xavera said in his own frustration.

The next day Xavera entered the school and wore a uniform skirt given from the Emperor whose size turned out to be very fitting in his body. He walked in the school corridor to be the center of attention as expected after a quarrel between his classmates and the Emperor who tried to defend him. But Xavera who does not care about the views of others just choose to lower his face to just protect himself from being with anyone.
"Where's that skirt from, Xa? You didn't steal in one of the stores, did you?"
"Yesterday the skirt that Tania gave was rejected outright even though clearly the poor could not afford to buy. Uh now suddenly wearing it. We're suspicious."
"It's only natural that we suspect. The most reliable donor has not yet intervened."
"Who is it?" His friends pretended not to understand.
"Who else if not from Tania's Papah."
"Well, Tania's dad is cool. Dela's giving a helping hand to the dumbest students in our school." They laughed satisfiedly at Xavera who was speechless without wanting to reply. Although surprised to hear his upperclassman even know how he is currently, Xavera tried to remain calm.
"You can be arrogant and laugh to the fullest if you manage to beat my grades. If you can't yet. Shut up and know yourself." Kai came with his sharp words. It made his classmates feel very embarrassed. Moreover, they all secretly loved and admired the Emperor.
"Eh there's you Kai." Say one of them while scratching his hair that does not itch.
Although feeling ashamed seemed like they were more pleased because for the first time they could interact with the Emperor intensely like this. Because what usually happens in Kai's class is more silent unless asked to give a presentation.
"What are you doing here, Kai? Want to see me or one of my friends?" Said the female student while smacking her smile incessantly staring at the handsome face of the Emperor up close.
Xavera who felt there was no need to hear anyone's words again began to step foot to leave. But unfortunately, his steps were held back by the Emperor's hand which suddenly just grabbed his hand in front of his upperclassman who was his classmate Emperor.
"Whoever bothers him again. Will be directly facing me." Say Kai.
Hearing that of course Xavera rounded his eyes in disbelief. How could it be, how could the Emperor say that aloud in front of his classmates who had already looked so fond of the Emperor.
"What does Brother mean?" Xavera's whisper was heartless after seeing the expression of his disappointed and dislikey upperclassman.
"What is my word less clear? Do I have to say it again."
"No. Don't repeat it again. I've heard it." Said Xavera scared if until Kai would repeat it again.
Seeing Xavera's adorable expression always made the Emperor feel happy, happy and wanted to laugh out loud. Inversely, from before he met and knew Xavera. Where the Emperor only befriended with his flat expression and cold feeling.
