The Lovely One's

Chapter 9: Getting to Know Closer

Starla has never felt this excited about going home from school; understand that there is Aozora next to her who is not excited? Although he had felt uncomfortable because some students noticed the two of them, whispering to each other, besides that he was happy.

Aozora did not talk much making Starla's hopes drop a little if the young man did not take an interest in her.

Annora wants at any time to continue to affect her relationship with men.

They stopped right between two school buses.

"Which one do you want to ride?" ask Aozora.

"Eh? Different though?" Starla asked back.

Aozora nodded. "The other bus, the seat is long rows without obstructions such as the Jakarta MRT train seat,"

"Oh," Starla has honestly never been on a train, pathetic right? He had no choice, though once he saw on the news during the inauguration of the train, he hoped many were crowded and realized private vehicles were causing global warming. "I want the bus we took this morning. What about you, brother?"

"Then let's get there before the bus is full" said Aozora.

Starla nodded and immediately got on the bus; fortunately Aozora did not want much, being on the first bus could make her a little bit comfortable from the eyes of the other students.

"Wait a minute" Aozora said, then went upstairs to check if there was an empty seat or not, then went back down when she found out there was an empty one. "Let's sit on top."

Starla, who had thought Aozora wanted to sit separately, nodded, and went upstairs, as early as this morning, Aozora invited her to sit by the window.

Starla is a little surprised to not be able to find Luna on the bus, and is certainly relieved to know, know for yourself what Luna's temptation is like.

Starla idly glanced at Aozora who was beside her, and was surprised to see the young man was reading the history book in his hand; he felt himself to be an diligent disciple but upon seeing Aozora, he felt himself as an avid disciple, he felt it was nothing. "Absolutely diligent, huh?" he dared to ask.

Aozora. "Oh, I am interested in reading Indonesian history" he said. "When in Bali, I really admired Bung Karno. You know Bung Karno has the nickname 'Son of the Dawn'? That's grand. Too bad there's no material to study regional heroes, only national."

"Room?"

So this is not the first time Aozora has been to Indonesia.

"I stayed for six months in Bali, I loved their culture and it is true that Indonesia is a friendly country. Since then I have been interested in visiting other cities" explained Aozora.

Starla was amazed, there were indeed some tourists who fell in love after visiting Indonesia but, hearing directly from the tourists made her proud; and Aozora at this age was able to go abroad, a little envious; normal right? He desperately wants to take a public bus while Aozora has boarded a plane out of the country. "Eh? Then why the school sister?" tanyakanya.

"I also need Starla-san, I'm only eighteen years old" Aozora said. "Although I'm a little surprised by the school system here..."

"Absmacked?"

"In Japan there are no IPA or IPS majors, nor are there any replications" Aozora said. "I was offered an IPA but I refused because my skills were more IPS."

"Oh," for the first time he heard there were people who refused to enter the IPA department. "Why are you wearing glasses?" he realized Aozora was wearing it, looking more mature and handsome in her eyes.

"I have plus eyes" said Aozora. "I can't read the little writing."

"Oh, of course." Starla does not know what it feels like because she has normal eyes, plus-minus has flaws, thank goodness she is normal.

Silent...

Starla exhales; she can't believe their conversation started because of the history lesson, the lesson that had upset her about not being able to rest and meeting Aozora in the canteen, really.

"Eh? Why?"

"Said the club chairman, there are no first-class students who enter there," explained Aozora sadly. "So then there will be no successor, rather than being forced it is better for the club to close."

"Oh," Starla does not know, he will also be sad if the club he likes is closed because of lack of interest. "There's a Japanese club, brother." he suggested.

"I came here because I was interested in learning Indonesian culture, Starla-san." Aozora reminded him again with her small smile.

"Oh, of course." said Starla shyly; why join the Japanese club if Aozora comes from the country. It's very embarrassing.

And he also did not believe a tourist could care more about Indonesian culture than he did, he felt ashamed.

Starla glanced out the window, and that was when she felt something touching her back, she glanced back to look and was shocked to know it was a handcuff, he immediately moved his seat a little so as not to hit his back again, he considered it just a coincidence until finally a few minutes later he felt again, this time touching under his armpits like pointing to his chest. He tested once again by advancing his seat and rightly happened again even though it only hit his back because it might be too far away.

Emotions and embarrassment were mixed, Starla rewinded her body a little, if the hand touched her again, she would teach a lesson, and it really happened again.

'Doing a break-in on the bus?'

Starla was about to catch the hand but Aozora was already ahead of her, she was shocked to see the young man twist the hand of the person who got a groan of pain from the owner of the hand.

Aozora stood up, still holding the hand that touched Starla, she walked towards the chair behind her. "You really tested my patience" he said, shaking the hand in annoyance. "Your actions are very low."

"Whatchu mean? I didn't do anything" said the young man innocently. "Don't slander anyone recklessly, hey new kid."

"You," Aozora really went black.

Starla instantly approached when she saw the situation getting hotter. "So, it's okay, don't make a fuss" he said.

"I'm sorry" said the young man after learning that his target was Starla Annora. "I didn't know it was Starla."

Starla thought; so if it wasn't her, the young man wouldn't have confessed? It also seems that this is not the first time the young man has done so.

How many victims have you been? Indeed, there are some women who are afraid to report because they have been harassed in public places and consider it a disgrace to report.

Starla was pensive to think about it; she belonged to that category of woman. "Sister, that's enough." she asked again sadly.

Aozora still wanted to give a few words of advice but, seeing so many other disciples starting to look at her, she said, before returning to her seat, she said. "You should be ashamed of yourself being helped by your victims."

Starla sat back down, took a breath and let it out many times.

"You okay?" ask Aozora worriedly. "We can report this to—"

"No!" Starla cuts fast. "I don't like to grow up in trouble, nor does he really touch me, Sis" she said nervously.

"Starla-san, I saw it for myself, don't lie" Aozora said.

"I told you not to!" snapped Starla who successfully made people back to him, he was bowed regret. "Sorry Brother, I didn't mean to yell at you." he regretted.

"I understand" said Aozora after recovering from her shock. "I appreciate your decision, Starla-san."

"Thank you," said Starla weakly, then looked blankly out the window.
