(Two days before)
Because valentine's night at school is coming soon, Melva also does not want to miss the moment. He wants all students who have always been envious to see the good looks and prowess of his lover. So he intends to meet his lover and ask her to accompany him on valentine galaxy night.
Although she had only met and dated James for two months, Melva was very happy to have a boyfriend like James. Some time ago after fusing Fania into the pool, Melva felt very sad and scared. He who has only been back to Jakarta for a few months feels like an alien among his school friends. No one wants to be friends with him. He was never even a day absent from being a victim of the moon
-monthanan.
And accidentally, Melva meets James at a bookstore. They were scrambling over the same book that just happened to be the rest of one fruit at the time. James kindly relented and handed the book to Melva.
Feeling that she had a penchant for the same book, Melva offered to share and lend the book to James after he finished reading. James agreed and from then on they became close to each other and eventually decided to date.
In the eyes of Melva, James is a funny and loving figure. He doesn't see Melva as strange and worthy of being bullied like his other friends. And more importantly, James always said that Melva can always make her comfortable and not feel burdened.
"Mom, Mel left first?!" Melva kissed the back of her mother's dirty hand by doughnuts. "Sorry Mom, Mel Permission first did not help mom make cake. Mel's going to James' house first. Important."
"Don't the nights come home, Mel? I'm worried."
"Yes, I am calm. Not for long."
"That's Sinta's shirt don't get damaged, Mel?"
"Ready Ma'am! Making a promise to flip this shirt in a clean and intact condition. Yeah, well, Mel left first, yeah, Mom."
Because she wanted to look beautiful in front of James, Melva to persuade her mother to lend one of the clothes owned by her newly washed son to Melva.
Along the way, Mel just saw a piece of fifty thousand money that his mother gave him earlier. He knew how valuable the money was to his mother but he was willing to give it to Mel to go see James.
Since the death of her father without news ten years ago, Melva and her mother have been forced to leave Jakarta and live in difficulty. They often move rent and school. His mother did not have a regular job. They only rely on income from the services of the laundry and the sale of cakes that they entrust in the stalls and canteens of the Melva school.
But Melva was very lucky because despite not being blessed with physicality and a good fate, she had a brilliant brain. So it is not difficult for Melva to get a scholarship and be accepted at any school with her grades and academic ability.
Since childhood, Melva has attended science and math olympics. To him, numbers were his most loyal bedmates. He even often became a private tutor to help his mother get rent or to buy rice. He was used to living independently and could always find a way to survive in such a state of deprivation.
Jakarta is the birth city of Melva as well as the fourth city that he resided in after moving from Semarang, Bontang and Surabaya. And for him Galaxy High School is a dream school come true.
The building also has an extensive library with a full collection of books, science laboratories, language and art practicum rooms, music studios, indoor basketball and tennis courts, swimming pools, and a swimming pool, a football field and running track, as well as a decent hall for rent as a reception and conference venue.
Slightly bullied and persecuted it does not feel too bad for Melva as long as the child seems to be able to enjoy the luxury of Galaxy High School.

Melva arrives at James' house which looks very quiet that night. James hugged and invited her in. The athletic man swiftly took a towel for Melva who had been hit by a drizzle when getting off the bus. He then made a warm chocolate drink for the glasses girl.
"You're so pretty tonight." James took off Melva's glasses and helped her dry her hair and face.
"It can be you. Btw, how quiet? On where?"
"Si Mbok is back home because his son is married. If you're both papa again there's an event in Singapore."
James picked up the towel Melva used to cover the clothes that had stuck to her body because it was wet.
"You want to change your clothes? There's a lot of my cousin's clothes in here."
"Neither do it." Melva held back the towel.
"Okay. Want to see a movie?" James chose romantic movies to accompany their romantic drizzle night atmosphere.
"Oh yeah, I'm here to take you to valentine's night at school. Fourteen tomorrow you can, right?"
"Of course baby.. What the hell doesn't make a girl as pretty as you?"
Melva knew that the man in front of her was boasting but somehow she felt happy. Maybe because James was the only man who would be with him and treat him like a princess.
Feeling successful in creating a supportive atmosphere, James began to dare to touch and feel his hands to kiss Melva's lips.
At first Melva refuses, but the man is too good at seducing her and persuading her that he is finally lulled and devoured in a wild game full of lust on James's living room couch.
