Rafa's hand lifted and floated in the air to reach Vallen's hair, then he slipped the strands of his wife's hair behind his ear. His gaze then focused again on Vallen's eyes.

"Lo ...."

"What?"

"Why do you agree we're engaged?" asked Rafa who immediately made Vallen dumbfounded.

"Hmmm. Wanna know?"

"Ms." Rafa nodded.

Then Vallen's smile expands. "Cie kepo ...," he chanted while pointing at Rafa.

"Gue nanya because .. I have another alesan why nurutin mother's request. In this world, no matter what the circumstances, we still have a chance to choose. And if you believe I am following my fiancee because Mother asked, not the story," said Rafa Long. It managed to make Vallen's attention more serious.

"What's the ales, Fa?"

"Cie kepo also ...," replied Rafa as he chuckled, while Vallen immediately bent his face, annoyed.

The door was opened, Bi Adab entered while carrying food in the form of steak, boiled vegetables, mashed potatoes, sauces, and did not forget the drink as well.

"Good dinner, Non, Den."

"Thank you, Bi," they said.

After Bi Adab left the room. Rafa looked at the silent Vallen. "Don't pout, I'll call 'Val Ugly?"

Vallen snarled and said, "Don't want to!"

They both focus on their own food. However, Vallen again broke the silence.

"Eh Fa's. The day after tomorrow there's a re-final at Canopus."

"Udah tau," replied Rafa while stabbing the boiled vegetables.

"Gue permission to watch?" vallen asked while tilting his face to look at Rafa who was looking down to devour his food.

Rafa glanced at Vallen without fumbling to chew. His brain then thought, he wanted to ban the girl from leaving, but .. in the end Rafa nodded.

"Vitamin you've been taking, Dev?" vallen asked as they were both in the car. The girl became aware of a lot about her ex, because Devan also told me often he had to take vitamins when feeling tired or want to do activities that are quite heavy. One example was during a basketball game in Arcturus a few weeks ago, the guy broke away from the others while warming up just to take his vitamins.

"Udah," replied Devan who was driving.

Curious, Vallen suddenly held Devan's forehead to check his body heat. Then it is equal to its temperature. Not much different, Vallen concluded Devan was fine.

"You can't say yes, Dev!" his sweat.

Devan glanced at him for a moment before nodding.

Devan and Vallen are walking in the Canopus High School area, they want to meet their friends who are said to still be in the parking lot. However, not yet reached the place in question, the two had already met with the others.

"Can, Bro!!!" optimist Satria with a spirit of twitching while facing his hand in front of Devan.

Devan grabbed it until they were five. The guy took a deep breath while looking at the inner region of Canopus High School, he was preparing mentally before going any further.

Once convinced, Devan starts walking followed by the others.

Upon entering the roomy area, a ball suddenly bounced in front of Devan. What was shocked was not only him, but Vallen was also next to him.

"Gen!" call a guy who bounces the ball pass for his friend to take.

"It's not polite!" vallen protest. He thinks the boys do not appreciate their arrival here.

The guy—Erkan—just stared cynically at Vallen before finally running over to his friend.

"I swear, really bad!" vallen Caci.

"Luckily handsome," muttered Nasya.

The committee came to them and directed them to a class they could use to prepare.
