Tiara: Queen of Boulevard
#38 Growing Up on the Side
Alda and Reno let go of each other's embrace after some time. Alda's face turned red he didn't expect it all to end with Reno hugging him first.
Reno is the same. His face and ears were red. After all, since long ago he had liked Alda even after meeting him again, he fell in love with him again.
"How have you been for eight years?" Reno asked not wanting the two to be awkward after hugging.
"I'm fine as you can see." Answer Alda casually.
"It looks like it's not. The proof is short. Your growth hasn't been good all this time." Tempt Reno while spreading a thin smile.
"So you mean I didn't grow up but to the side of it?" Alda rolled his eyes.
Reno laughed loudly at Alda's words. Somehow and why he likes to tease Alda or make him upset.
Alda raised his face looking at Reno. He was a little surprised to find the height of Reno which almost reached 180 cm. 'Since when did he become this tall?' Lia.
Back when they were together, Reno's height didn't even reach Alda's ears. Now Alda had to look up to see his face.
"You grew up so well." Alda.
"Clear dong. I'm going to grow up not like someone, not up not to the side either." He answered while glancing at Alda. Reno wanted to see Alda's reaction if he kept teasing him like this.
Hearing Reno's infuriating reply, Alda didn't want to ask anything more. "Basic nyebelin. I'd rather go home than get bloodied. Nye.." Alda ran away leaving Reno laughing satisfied at him.

In the dormitory of the guy in room number 109, Saka was lying lazily on his bed. As he turned to the right side he did not see Luka there. Vice versa. When he turned to the left side he did not see Reno there either.
Saka had no idea where his two best friends went. They didn't tell her or just called her before she disappeared.
Moments later the door opened and Luka came in. Saka quickly ran towards Luka. "Where did you end up?" Ask.
"From school." Answer Cold wounds as usual but it happens if the person who hears it is a person who does not know well Luka.
For Saka who grew up with Luka since childhood, he knew exactly something was different from his spirit. Luka looks happy.
"Lu equals Tiara..." Saka's words came to a halt after the sound of the door opening again.
Luka and Saka looked at Reno who entered from the door with a happy face. Saka is confused as to what is going on with Reno and Luka. In addition to the two late return to the dormitory they also returned in a good mood.
"What honest answer? Hide what? I'm not hiding anything from you." Answer Reno.
"liks. Why are you both coming home late. Pake don't worry anymore."
Reno looked at Luka who was still in full uniform just like her. He did not expect Luka to be late for home. Usually Luka doesn't like to roam outside.
"Gue met Alda earlier." Reno replied that he would not lie to Saka or Luka.
Saka was shocked to hear Reno's reply as well as Luka's but his expression still had nothing to change.
"Lo met Alda Violetta?" Ask Saka.
Hearing how Saka mentioned Alda's name, Reno didn't seem to like him very much. "From now on you stop calling Alda by his full name. Just call him Alda."
After saying that to Saka, Reno walked towards her closet and changed her clothes.
Saka is again surprised by Reno. "What?" He did not know why Reno forbade him to call Alda by a long name.
Saka looked at Luka as if asking her what was wrong with Reno but to his surprise, Luka laughed at her.

Tiara walked home to the dormitory after having a long talk with Herlin. He was grateful that Herlin agreed to help him find some orphanages in the city of H.
Tiara felt so helped that she did not need to ask her family for help, Alexander.
When arriving at the lobby of the dorm Tiara accidentally meets Michelle, her father's half-sister, Jonathan Alexander.
Michelle who saw Tiara still wearing the school uniform then walked up to her. "How come you just got home at this hour?"
Tiara ignored Michelle's question and looked around her. He made sure no one saw him talking to his aunt.
"You don't have to worry. At this hour most of them are in their own rooms." Michelle's words dispel Tiara's worries.
"Oh that's it. Auntie I miss Auntie." Tiara hugged Michelle tightly. She missed her aunt. Even though he had been in the dorm for a few days, he rarely met Michelle.
Michelle smiled happily at how cute Tiara was when they were alone and need not be asked again how she missed Tiara so much.
