THE ABOVE THE CLOUD(ABC)

39. Natural Detectors

Ever since Reksa gave the Wicaksono family trouble, Cecil has never been seen again in the building. Usut got a mouthwash, he said Cecil fiancee with one of the young masters. The man had already chased after Cecil a long time ago, with Cecil in position, the girl could reject anyone as long as she did not offend anyone.

But the latter circumstances make the Wicaksono family receive a bond in the end. Maybe she's busy running amok, I don't know.

Although the Coastal Restaurant was not the only one Wicaksono had, when the two sides discussed cooperation, Muta became the superior party.

The Wicaksono party itself, would not think that Mutual is the mastermind behind this all. They had no grudges, no problems before. Even the only daughter of Wicaksono had a chance to bond with Reksa. Of course, the investigation is still carried out, even though the tail of the mastermind is cut off in the end.

What is getting hit is because the stronghold carried by the Wicaksono party, lost the election. You can imagine how acidic his face was.

Mutual is still doing his job as usual. But his vacation plans need to be put off because he's getting busy.

The island he was going to develop belonged to a natural ecological community. Not yet set, but will. In other words, he could not build just any building that could potentially damage the surrounding environmental ecosystem. Because coral reefs are protected marine creatures, it is impossible to make them private property. Especially the island that Reksa chose, the plan will be used as a center for coral cultivation. Muta is working with a research group from IT University for the continuation of this project.

Medeal Group and Flexi Corporation became one of the supporters and became part of the investors for this project along with the National Flora Fauna Research and Development Agency. Reksa did not think he would even be involved in a national project like this. The money he had spent was returned by the State, he could only look elsewhere. While the reason why these big companies are interested in spending money that is likely not to make a profit.

Sera is still in school as usual, but she now follows an English tutor at home in person every afternoon. For another lesson, Sera felt she had enough.

Once out of class at recess, Sera immediately approached the crowd of Akmal, Lea, Kiki and David in the hallway. Besides David, the other three were in B-class.

As Sera approached, she heard their conversation, still in English.

“There will soon be a class with Miss Lia.” Miss Lia is a Mathematics teacher.

“You're coming too?”

“Follow, Mama I ngarepin I got a cup.”

“You guys say what?” ask Sera.

“We again talk Olympics Math.” David folded his hands, his eyes staring at Sera contemptuously, while the tip of his lips curved slightly. Sera ignores the boy and turns to Lea.

“You too join?” although sometimes the sentences are exchanged, Sera can already compose her own sentences.

“‘Not ‘too join’, but ‘join too’.” error Lea then nodded. “There are two people selected. Kiki for the Science Olympiad.”

“You did not follow anything.” snorted David on Sera. Since the beginning of entering this girl stray alone. Not understanding what people are talking about, always missing information. In class, his performance is ordinary.

“What are you coming with?” finally Sera gave David a little attention. This child if ignored likes to be-so.

“Daud came with me and Akmal.” Leah answered because David was pretending to be indifferent.

“Three of you participate in all math olympics?”

“Iya.” Lea didn't show it, but from her face, she was like pity on Sera?

Sera: I don't know why he should feel sorry for me.

Akmal glanced at Sera. Next to his eyebrows pulled up, then continued chatting with others.

"..." - ".Sera promises she won't be at the Olympics. Moreover, it should be one place with this group of children. Just because he was late with his language, he left the topic with his classmates. Akmals? Hmp, forget. The boy likes to be alone. See, the others are going along?

Sera decides to look for Khalia. Of all the kids in the class, she's the only angel.

“I want to find Khalia.” Sera said to Shain, who stood not far away. At that time, Shain was on the phone. Without waiting for him to finish, Sera immediately darted away to the Greenhouse. Khalia's usual place in the break hours.

Sera traced an open hallway that was on its right-hand side full of grass and trees. The children gathered in several groups around him. Passing through the fourth grade ex-school room, he turned right and reached the back yard of the school. There is a greenhouse and a rabbit cage there, along with a warehouse containing gardening tools.

Sera saw Khalia hugging a rabbit while chatting with the gardener who was watering.

The gardener was a man in his thirties, with sunken eyelids and black lips. His hat was pressed inside, making Sera unable to capture his face thoroughly.

Usually when he comes here after Khalia, he doesn't see anyone. This is the first time Sera has seen a gardener.

"Khalia.” call Sera expressionless. He called out to Khalia, but his eyes looked at the gardener who according to Sera was standing too close to Khalia. He had his own sense of discomfort at seeing this scene, although Sera could not pinpoint exactly what was wrong.

“Sera!” Khalia who heard that immediately stopped her conversation and greeted Sera enthusiastically.

“Introduction classes, come.” Sera said without further ado. Want to get out of that place. Sera knew her instincts were special.

“Wait, I return the rabbit first to the cage.” Khalia did not refuse and immediately turned to go to the cage.

The gardener was silent for a moment, looking at Khalia for a few seconds then turned to the flower before him, before turning to Sera.

“Hai, temenya Khalia yes?”

Sera glanced from the end of her eyes. “Iya.”

“Name as Sera, huh? One class with Khalia?”

“...Yes.”

“Om her name is Trisna. Want candy?”

“...nggak.”

“Enak kok, this.” said Trisna with a little pushy. “Candy expensive.”

Sera, and the kids at this school, which one of them can't afford expensive candy?

Sera brushed off the hand that was getting closer to her. The candy in Trisna's hand fell to the ground. The man did not expect to get such treatment from the little girl in front of him.

“Pak.” Sera squinted her eyes. His 8-10 face was similar to that of Mutuals it did not show any childlike expression in general.

Don't come near, you smell bad.

But he did not say his heart.

"I don't want to" said Sera briefly and then ignored the gardener.

Before long Khalia returned and ran towards Sera. Behind him a boy followed.

"Sera, knowin, this is Abima. He likes to stock carrots in cages. He's from 1C."

Abima has a reddish white skin. Up close, the sweat on his temples was clearly visible. Usually the temperature in the cage is a bit warmer than elsewhere. His short black hair fell down gently. His uniform clung neatly without the slightest tangle. Her cheeks were full, and with her eyes she looked curiously at Sera.

"Hi, I'm Abima." The boy smiled gently, making the cage smell like a rose. Even Sera sepat felt, it seemed like the stench of that person disappeared instantly. But Sera immediately realized.

"Sera." Sera said nothing more.

“Sera! Why rush?”

“Denger, from tomorrow you don't go there again.”

“What? Why?” Khalia's forehead immediately wrinkled a little angrily and she stopped her steps.

Sera took a deep breath. He turned and said to Khalia. “I don't like that father!”

Hearing that the reason was not because Sera wanted to stop her hobby, Khalia immediately lost her anger. “Why? Father is good, kok.”

Sera couldn't explain what she was feeling. But he also could not let Khalia set foot there. “Do you choose me or that father?”

Receiving the question, Khalia gawked.

“...Why then?”

“If you want to go there again, I do not want to meet you again.”

“Ehhhh!!”

“Select.” says Sera firmly.

“I want to meet you. But I want to cool down Bimbi.” The word Khalia is difficult. Bimbi is the name of the rabbit in the school cage.

“After aja. A week deh.” said Sera finally. Khalia had no idea what the relationship was between a week and what the gardener was. But because of Sera's threat, he didn't ask more.

A week. Okay, maybe Khalia can do it.

“If I want to know Bimbi news, how?”

“Later I asked Brother Shain to jenguk.”

“OK.. hehe.”

“Comeback.”

“Ayo, come!~ Uh, but Abima's there."

"He's a boy, you're a girl" Sera said unconcernedly.

Khalia did not understand the meaning of Sera's words. "Abima's alone in there tomorrow. When I talked to him, I told him I wanted to come back. He'll be waiting for me."

"Why keep promises?" ask Sera annoyed.

"I love going there every day!"

"Judah tomorrow I'll suck up to Abima and tell her."

Hearing that, Khalia was immediately relieved. The girl chuckled. "Eh, you know, he said David from our same class who from class B participated in the mathematics olympics in Country V.”

“..yeah.” Sera had heard, she had no interest in discussing that. But he couldn't help but talk after Khalia's compiler.

After school Sera got into the car, she saw the father again. This time the gardener was cleaning the grass around the flowers outside the fence. Sometimes his eyes swept over the children inside the school, before continuing his work.

The little girl's eyes stared at the man long before the car left the school. By the way it's Friday. Tomorrow is the day of admission for extracurricular classes and olympic classes.

So, Sera has two days off.

“Nona, something wrong?” ask Shain who is driving. Her miss hasn't spoken since getting in the car and staring out the window for so long. Shain recalled the activities at school. At recess, before Shain reached the greenhouse to catch up, her Miss had already returned smoothly and safely. But he thought, Shain mustn't let his guard down. He plans to check in tomorrow.

“Ngga.” replied Sera briefly then lowered her head. He turned on the cell phone clock in his hand and sent a message to Muta.

Sera: Pa

Mutual: Why my dear

As expected, the reply came as fast as lightning.

Reksa: Did you finish school?

Sera: Yes

Mutual: Home school foot wash hand wash face change clothes nap

Sera did not want to read the long series of his papa messages that were the same content as Bi Sri's words.

Sera: I want to go to the Olympics

Mutual replied with lightning fast.

Mutual: Okay

Sera: He said the Olympics were chosen. I don't

Mutual: What to choose. Later Papa makes his own olympics you stay

Sera frowned. Like this could be, huh? But why did he not feel any achievement at all?

Sera: Olympics in school, Pa.

Mutual: What Olympics? You want a private teacher? Just tell Papa.

Sera: I want to go to the martial olympics

Mutual: .....

Mutuals do not reply for a long time. Sera thought maybe her Papa was busy, she didn't think long.

In fact, Reksa was racking his brain hard; what was wrong with his daughter until suddenly interested in martial arts?

Studying martial arts is good, of course. But Reksa didn't think of letting his daughter take up martial arts as a career direction! Olympic martial!

What if his daughter is interested in becoming a martial artist?!

In fact, the martial athletes have a sturdy and muscular body. He could not imagine his daughter like that..

The client should think about this seriously.
