Tiara: Queen of Boulevard
#33 Childhood Friends
Saka was silent for a moment, seeing how excited Lia was in introducing herself. Then with a friendly smile on her face Saka received Lia's handstroke.
"Gue Saka Marapati's. Call me Saka."
'Saka Marapati? Ahh a beautiful name as beautiful as her man' Lia is implying.
Tiara and Alda can guess if Lia's heart is now being grown in seven forms.
"Oh yeah, he's got me the Wound Dragon House. Just call him Luka." Saka continued to introduce Luka to the three girls in front of him.
Tiara raised both her eyeballs looking at Luka after hearing Saka introduce her. Likewise, Luka looked at Tiara meaningfully making Tiara nervous for a moment.
Seeing Tiara turn her face away from him right after he looked into her eyes, Luka smiled happily inwardly. Who could have guessed, behind the face of Tiara flat and cold turned out to be a pretty shy person.
"Oh yes I remember. He broke the record, right? Which has a value of 98." Ask Lia.
"It's exactly right." Saka replied proudly to Luka his best friend.
"And him..."
"My name is Reno Oktavian." Reno cuts off Saka's words and introduces her name. But what was surprising was that Reno instead thrust her hand directly at Alda.
Reno deliberately mentioned her full name with a slightly pressing tone hoping Alda could remember something about her. He was very sure now that Alda was his childhood friend after seeing him up close.
Alda stared in shock at Reno who thrust a hand at him. He was confused what to do. This is not an introduction between the two but an introduction to the whole. Why did Reno also thrust a hand directly at him.
'Wait what was I saying? Octavian Reno? That's kan...' Alda woke up after a while.
He looked at Reno in disbelief. It is fitting that Alda felt like he had met Reno before it turned out that Reno was his childhood friend and neighbor first.
Alda regained his senses and immediately clasped Reno's hand. Alda did not want the atmosphere to be strange and would only cause imagination in the minds of others if he ignored Reno longer.
"Alda Violetta." His words introduced themselves.
'Violetta. Not that it sounds so beautiful.' Lia.
Not only was Lia, when she first heard Alda's name on the call during her absence, Tiara also thought the same thing. 'Violetta' is a beautiful name.
Deep down, Alda hoped that Reno would recognize him as well so that he would deliberately mention his long name before Reno.
Reno returned Alda's gaze, neither smiling nor surprised to hear Alda's name. Because he looked ordinary, Alda felt a little disappointed.
'So Reno has forgotten me?' Alda.
Tiara did not need to introduce her name anymore because she was already in the know se Boulevar High School.
During lunch until the entrance bell rang again, Alda made no sound at all and just bowed disappointed.
How not to be disappointed, someone he had longed for, someone he had wanted to meet for a long time did not know him again after meeting again.
Seeing Alda who turned silent earlier made Tiara and Lia lose their minds. But something different came from Reno. He looks very happy. At last all the doubts in his heart about who Alda really was had disappeared, disappearing as if in the earth after hearing Alda's name.
Reno recalls the events of her childhood with Alda where she and her family were about to move from E to C.
Two cars were parked in front of Reno's house. One was a car that Reno and his family would ride in while the other was to transport their moving goods.
When the kenek and the driver were busy helping to get things out of the house, Reno went to meet Alda at his house to say goodbye. Reno and Alda were 8 years old.
Alda's eyes had been visible even before Reno said goodbye to him because Alda had been crying for a few hours.
Reno could not bear to see Alda let out tears that wet his cheeks then he tried to calm Alda.
Reno hugged Alda, patting his back slowly like a parent who was putting their baby to sleep.
"Vio I promise you when we meet again, I'm the first one to know you." Reno whispered into Alda's ear.
