One year later.
Kiran looked at the handsome man who was standing on the podium. He did not expect the little boy he helped first. Now he has grown into a handsome man. And now the man has finished First High School (SMA).
" It doesn't feel like Nando has grown into a handsome guy" Nadia said.
" Yes, it felt like it was just yesterday "
" Did Nando have a girlfriend?" ask Serly.
" I don't think so. Because I've never seen him walk or take a girl to the mansion" Kiran said.
" But that's good. Because he can focus more on his studies" said Nadia.
" Nando's age is seventeen. So it's a little "
" Right "
It's time for the principal to announce who the best graduates are at the school. All the students and guardians listened carefully.
" Alright I will soon announce the top three best graduates of Tunas Bangsa High School" said the headmaster as he stared at the students of XII class one by one.
The students of class XII added deg-degan. They want to quickly find out who will get the highest score among them all.
" We start from third place first. Stage three falls to our son Gita Purnama Putri"
The sound of applause accompanied the student named Gita up on the podium. The girl stood in the place provided by the school.
" Second place by Jihan Kusuma Ningrum"
A clapping sound was louder than the first one. After the student named Jihan stood on the podium, applause was still echoing in the hall.
" I'll announce who ranked first this year at this school"
Kiran and her best friends deg-degan. They can't wait for the name of who will be called to be in the first place.
" The first rank is achieved by our son named Nando Pratama"
Kiran and her companions gave a standing ovation to Nando. And so do the Twins.
" That's not uncle?" said Alexa.
" Yes, that's uncle" Darren replied.
" Why is uncle standing up there?"
" Because our uncle got the best grades"
" Eca wants to be like that later too. Let everyone see Eca"
" Of course everyone will see Daddy's beautiful daughter"
" They're not gonna see Acel, are they?" Ask Alexa with her lisp voice.
" They'll also see Axel, but they're more fascinated to see this beautiful princess"
" Daddy was right, because Eca was more charming than Acel"
Alexa can't name Axel correctly. So he called Axel with Acel. But Axel was not angry or upset at his twin brother.
Darren smiled at his beautiful daughter. Her daughter did not get along with her twin sister. There is only contested by the toddler. And the one that most often irritates it is Alexa.
" Daddy want to go up there, boys?"
" Let's go up there after the show is over. Now we'll see little uncle first"
Alexa nodded her head.
Because that can rank from different classes. The principal asks the respective homeroom teacher to award the awarding charter to the students who get the ranking.
" Congratulations Gita on her achievement. Mother's message, do not be easily satisfied to pursue your ideals. And stay humble"
" Thank you Buk"
" Congratulations to Jihan for her achievement. Mother's message to you, never stop here, reach out to your ideals and remain humble"
" Thank you Buk" said Jihan.
Especially for the first rank, the teachers asked the father of the principal who submitted his award charter.
" Congratulations, son. May you be a successful person and remain humble"
" Thank you Sir"
The core event is over. It is now the parents' turn to congratulate their children.
Kiran and her friends climbed onto the podium. And so do their husbands and children. Up on the podium of the three beautiful women immediately embraced Nando.
" Congratulations, dear"
" Thank you Brother"
Twins, Farel and Adele are not left behind. The three of them also hugged Nando.
" O uncle's beloved "
" We want to celebrate where Nando's success is?" ask Serly.
" On Darren's mansion alone" said Romy.
" Look for my mansion because I don't want to go out, right?" Darren.
" Well, you're a psychic cake" said Romy.
" Agreed dong"
" We go down first. You took pictures with your friends" Kiran said.
" Good Brother"
After the death of his brothers, Nando joined his classmates. For mementos, they also took pictures together.
Jihan looked at the handsome man who rarely smiled. They have met several times. But the man always did not recognize him. He also approached the handsome man.
" Hey"
" Hm"
" Don't you remember me?"
Nando looked at the girl in front of him. " No"
Jihan smiled wryly. It turned out that the young man had forgotten. They have met several times.
" It seems like your memory is very bad?"
" You mean?"
" yes. We've met a few times, but you don't remember me"
" Why should I remember you?"
" Because we're friends"
" Friends?"
" Hhhm"
" I don't feel that way"
" What if we're friends now?" jihan said as he extended his hand.
Nando looked at the girl. He saw sincerity in his eyes. He also returned Jihan's hand.
" Okay, we're friends"
Jihan smiled because Nando wanted to be friends with her.
" Oh yeah, that was your family?" ask Jihan.
" yes. Why?"
" It's okay. Rame is your family too"
" That's not all"
" Really?"
" Hm"
" Has the four little ones pounded you?"
" Yes" answered Nando as he stared at the four toddlers who were eating snacks.
" Why are you wearing two masks?"
" Because their faces should not be exposed to others"
" why? what's their face, sorry, flawed?"
" no. The face is perfect"
" Why can't anyone see them?"
" You're really carrying "
" Ah sorry "
Jihan looked at the two children who were wearing the masks. He was really curious about the figure of the little boy wearing the mask. If their faces are perfect like Nando said, then why are they wearing masks.
He was shocked to see a beautiful woman carrying one of the children. And he was very familiar with who that beautiful woman was. Because that beautiful woman's face always appears in business magazines.
" So those two kids are Miss Kiran's kids?"
" yes. Now you know why they wear masks"
" yes. Then Miss Kiran?"
" He's my brother"
Jihan did not expect that the handsome man in front of her was the son of a rich man. Because he saw Nando always dressed modestly. And also the man never used a private vehicle to school.
" I'm sorry I stayed. I called you"
" Ah I-iya"
Jihan looked at Nando's back which was getting away from her sight.
To be continue
Nandos.
