My Highschool Sweetheart's

CRAFTINESS

Mia started laughing at herself. Tears seemed to gather in his eyes, and a single blink would make him go down wet his cheeks.

I'm not gonna cry. Mia!!! no crying! have you not promised yourself that you will not cry anymore.

Mia took a tissue and glued it to her eyes. He will not let his tears fall. He immediately picked up the bag and went to his training ground.

"Sister Angel!" greet Mia.

"Mia! Hi!" Angel returned Mia's greeting. He was lifting the barbell alternately between his right hand and his left hand, while exhaling from his mouth.

Mia approaches a wooden dummy that becomes a wing chun exercise. He did not choose specifically what martial arts he wanted to be in. He will use all the facilities there.

Before starting, Mia warms up and stretches her body. He trains his balance, especially the movement called one stop body movement/hanging ma. Mia had practiced this movement before and she wanted to retrain it.

Mia trains the horse, then starts a punching movement towards the wooden dummy. He spent about 45 minutes, after which he rested, until finally he came back face to face with a sand bag to re-train his punch.

"Sister Angel is coming home yet?" ask Mia.

"Yes. I have to work."

"Can I come?" Mia wanted to distract her attention and mind from Azka. He doesn't want to get caught up in the things that hurt him.

"You wanna come? but ...," Mia pleads with Angel, who eventually makes Angel agree to Mia's request.

Mia came to Angel's place of work after she had previously cleaned up at the martial arts training ground. At the training ground, a bathroom is provided for their members to clean themselves before they go home.

"I-this .... big brother works here?"

"Yes, that's why you better go home. This place is not suitable for you" said Angel. Mia looked towards Angel and finally left from there. He doesn't want to trouble Angel if he stays there.

*****

Since she saw Azka and Lucia on television, Mia never returned Azka's message. When Azka apologizes and often sends her messages, Mia eventually replies. After that, they always send messages to each other. However, now there was no point in him retaliating. He does not want to be considered as someone who damages other people's relationships.

He knows what Lucia is like and he doesn't want to find trouble with her. It was better for Mia to avoid things that might hurt her like she used to.

Mia is focusing more and more on her studies. He should also start looking for a place for practical work before he takes his thesis.

📩 Do you miss me? - Azka.

Mia who was busy taking care of her preparatory letter also ignored the message. He completed a few things before he took a letter of reference from the campus administration.

The sound of his phone rang, Mia immediately raised it when she saw Uncle Bima's name there.

"Halo Uncle's. All right, I'll be there today," Mia disconnected her phone and returned with her busyness.

He packed some clothes because Uncle Bima asked him to stay at the Argantara residence. Mia went to the campus to submit a letter for practical work, after which she went straight to the Argantara family residence.

"Yahoo!!" greet Karla.

"Hello, Aunty," Mia replied as she hugged Karla.

"You're getting pretty, baby. Looks like Aunty hasn't seen you in a long time" Karla quipped Mia who hasn't visited her since they returned to Munich.

"Just calm down, aunty will help you," Karla smiled as she picked up her phone. He is heard contacting someone, and after that he speaks to Mia again.

"Do you know Royal Munich Hospital?" Mia nodded. It is one of the largest hospitals in Munich.

"They accept you to do practical work there."

"W-how is that possible?" ask Mia wonder.

"My sister-in-law is the owner of that Hospital. He gladly accepted you there, dear," Karla stroked Mia's hair.

"Thank you, Aunty. I'm sorry I always bother you guys," Mia felt that she had already troubled the Argantara family several times. He felt bad.

"No, hon. You never trouble us. We already consider you like our own daughter. Aunty would be even happier if you wanted to be Aunty's daughter-in-law" Karla said.

degga ...

"Holy?" ask Mia again.

"Hmm ..," Karla smiled, "Do you want to be to Ronald and Rosa later," Karla chuckled at Mia who looked confused.

"Account ... T-but I ...," said Mia stammered.

"You can learn to be close to Billy. Aunty feels you're a good fit. Don't think too much, if so Aunty will be waiting for you to graduate" Karla said.

Mia did not dare to answer or say any more words. He doesn't want this to be long. Just as he thought he wanted to return the favor, Aunty Karla immediately said she wanted him to become a son-in-law. Will this be his way of life?

If Billy wants it too, maybe Mia will rethink it, even though he doesn't love Billy at all. He only considers Billy as his brother, just like Abigail. However, there was 1 more thing that stuck in Mia's mind ... He did not want to be a burden for the Argantara family with the disease he suffered at this time.

Evening came, they ate food together as a family. Mia is pretty uptight if Karla says her plan is to make Mia a daughter-in-law, but fortunately that's not the case. They eat quietly and smoothly without any distractions.

Meanwhile, in a room,

Azka stared at her phone many times. For almost 2 weeks, Mia has never replied to the message she sent. While the informant he asked to keep an eye on Mia said that Mia was doing her activities as usual.

tringgg ....

A message notification goes back to Azka's phone. He grabbed it immediately, hoping it was a reply from Mia.

📩 Az, I miss you. How about tonight you come to my house? Daddy's gone, I'm alone ...

Azka slammed her phone into the bed. It wasn't Mia, it was Lucia who sent him the message. The person he expected did not reply to his message.

Azka took her phone and looked at it, then replied to the message.

📨 Sorry, I can't. I'm still in the office learning to manage the company.

Azka was forced to get closer to Lucia because she saw the irregularities in the financial statements provided by Lucia's father's company. He wanted to get some evidence by getting closer to Lucia.

📩 Are you not tired? rest here, with me. Isn't there already a Daddy and Uncle who will help you? They will manage everything.

"Ckk ...," Azka clucked in annoyance. He was looking for a way to unravel the cunning of Lucia's family (the Azka forgot the times she had the Black Alpha. Once a finger flick can find evidence of his cunning.)
