In the car, during the trip to school, Bianca still remained faithful looking away from the window. Face's bent. His lips were also pursed in annoyance. Just then, when Jimmy picked her up, the man looked at her with a guilty look. Bianca also did not let Jimmy open the car door for her, as the man often did.
“Nona—”
“Don't invite me to talk.” Cut Bianca firmly. Both hands are folded in front of the chest. Occasionally, he glanced at the rearview mirror inside and found Jimmy was putting on a sad look.
I think he only has one expression
“Jimmy.”
“Ya, Miss.” Jimmy answered quickly while looking at Bianca at a glance.
“Didn't we already make a deal?” Bianca said with a slightly insinuating tone. And sure enough, Jimmy looked back at her sadly.
“I'm sorry.” Shirih Jimmy. Really, he felt very guilty.
Initially, Bianca did feel a little upset and disappointed because Jimmy had broken his promise to her. But he also believes Jimmy has no choice but to tell Alan. Compared to her, Alan was much more valuable to the man.
“Should I forgive you?” Bianca asked in a seductive tone. Suddenly, Jimmy's blue eyes stared at him enthusiastically.
“I'll do anything.” Jimmy said excitedly.
Bianca laughed a little. Today, he could see another expression on Jimmy's face. And after that, Bianca was sure that everything would return to how it was—ia who again found the expressionless face of the man.
“Taste, a glass of chocolate milkshake is suitable as an apology.” Bianca said with a big smile. He can't stay angry with Jimmy.
“Of course.” Jimmy sumringah. His heart immediately became relieved.

Once a week, Bianca and all students at her school are required to bring their own food. The reason, so that they do not get bored with the food in the cafeteria as well as they are taught to save money. Initially, many protested and said it was very childish. But eventually, they all give up when the principal threatens to suspend anyone who refuses.
“You didn't bring food?” lily asked, looking at Bianca. Both of his hands were busy opening the box he was carrying.
“I didn't get to make it.” Answer Bianca briefly. He is busy playing mobile phone. Honestly, he forgot. If only he remembered it, he would have asked Sofie for help to make him some food.
“We can share.” Lily spoke softly while looking at Bianca.
“Lily.” Bianca said sumringah while hugging Lily at a glance. Feeling grateful for not having to learn with a hungry stomach.
Today, Lily brings five pieces of chicken sandwiches, some cheese nuggets and pieces of apples, grapes and kiwis. Not forgetting a bottle of juice as a supplement. He deliberately did not bring mineral water because he did not like it too much.
“You made it?” bianca asked as she stuffed a piece of cheese nugget into her mouth.
“No. Mom made it for me.” Lily answered with a happy smile.
Bianca who heard it was only able to smile sadly. If only his family situation was a little better, maybe he could also bring supplies made by his mother. But unfortunately, both parents are nothing more than gambling addicts who have the heart to sell their own children.
“When, can I come to your house?” Tanya Bianca hesitated.
“Of course. Mom will be happy to see you.” Lily answered happily. Since making friends, Bianca has only once come to visit her home. It was also to stay overnight because loan sharks where both parents borrowed money, often came to meet and threaten him.
Bianca smile. I feel happy because Lily is my best friend. The girl never asked her anything. Lily will always wait until Bianca herself tells her story. Because Lily knows that Bianca needs a place to lean.

Jimmy pulls out his car in front of one of the cold drink booths he had been through with Bianca when he was about to pick Alan up at his office. Immediately, he stepped out of the car, leaving Alan alone looking at him confused.
“Where is he going?” Alan muttered while following Jimmy's movements. And his eyes were round in disbelief when he saw the man standing in line with some women to buy drinks. A sight he had never seen at all.
“I just found out if you turned out to like milkshakes .. chocolate.” Temptation Alan chuckles amusedly when Jimmy just got in the car. Jimmy didn't say anything.
“Only one?” Alan again said when he saw Jimmy only bought one drink.
Alan remained silent. His eyes looked back at Jimmy in disbelief. This is the first time he's seen Jimmy buy something for someone else. Even for himself—, who was the boss, never got any gifts from the man.
When did they become close?
As if to tempt Jimmy, Alan tried to take the drink. But he had not been able to reach him, Jimmy unconsciously brushed his hand slowly.
“Wow! Jimmy.” Alan said in shock as he moved his hand away. All this time, ever since he made Jimmy his right-hand man and assistant, the man never asked for anything from him. Or interfere in his personal affairs. Jimmy also never gave him a gift or just bought him a drink.
Once, he took Jimmy to a hotel to meet one of his girlfriends. On purpose, he took off the shirt the woman was wearing to see Jimmy's reaction. Strangely, however, the blue-eyed man remained faithfully standing by the door. While staring flat. Complete with his expressionless face.
And Alan, he knows full well the cause behind it all.
“It looks like I have to find a new driver for Bianca.”. He said it to see Jimmy's reaction. And sure enough, through the rearview mirror in the car, the man looked at him in shock.
“Tuan.” Jimmy said slowly—eses sad.
“I'm just kidding, Jimmy.”
Alan smiled. Since the presence of Bianca in his life, Alan believes, if he and Jimmy gradually began to feel changes in their lives.
Alan, who had never been indifferent to the words of others, began to put his ears. Who also never cared how much he changed partners, began to strive to be loyal and become very possessive. Even Jimmy, who had been cold and closed, began to open up and show his care.
His decision to buy Bianca was not in vain at all.
Thinking of Bianca, he couldn't wait to see her soon.

Bianca again let out a long sigh as Rico continued to invite her to speak. He stood up and waited for Jimmy to arrive. Normally, five minutes before the bell came home, the man was already waiting for him. But now, fifteen minutes had passed and signs of his appearance were also absent.
It doesn't matter if you have to get back on the bus. But the problem is, when Alan finds out and becomes angry.
“Bianca, I can take you home.” Rico opened his voice again while looking at Bianca.
“My pick up is coming soon.” Reject Bianca smooth. At a time like this, Lily actually left him and went home first because she wanted to go buy books.
“Who? The blue-eyed guy?” There was a dislike tone tucked inside Rico's speech. And Bianca knows exactly why.
“Is she really your lover?” Rico is back. He looked more and more at Bianca.
“Yeah.” Answer Bianca briefly.
Rico speechless. But Bianca knew that the man was holding back his frustration.
“I still don't care. Besides, I think men don't seem to suit you.” Bianca stares at Rico in disbelief when she just heard the man finish his words. Judging from any point of view, his fan girls would definitely prefer Jimmy.
“Rico, you don't know anything about it.” Bianca was upset.
Rico who did not accept, immediately gripped Bianca's wrist. I plan to bring her home together.
“Come, let me drive you.” Rico Said. Without paying attention to the surroundings, he pulled Bianca's hand to step with him. His personal driver had been waiting since. He did not bring his own vehicle today.
“Let go of me.” Bianca tried to pull her hand back. What Rico is doing now is completely out of bounds.
Rico bergeming. He doesn't care about Bianca's shakes. He gets upset when Bianca defends Jimmy in front of him.
“Jimmy!” Bianca screamed when she saw the car that Jimmy used to drive and pick her up had just arrived in front of the school gate. Immediately, he forced his hand and ran toward Jimmy.
Rico who did not accept, suddenly said swear sentences with a soft voice. His eyes stared intently at the car that had just taken Bianca away.
Goddamn bum!
