Anindya gracefully picked up her teacup, blew on the surface, and then took a small sip.
"Mmm~... The tea is delicious. Thank you, Auntie!" Anindya said with a sweet smile and looked at Sekar.
"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment!" Sekar replied with a proud laugh.
Julian watched their interaction with a confused expression.
"Since when mom become close with Anindya?" Julian asked, looking at them both.
Instead of remaining curious, Julian plucked up the courage to ask.
"Mom... Why is Anindya at our house?" Julian asked.
"Oh, that's because she said she came to wake you up. She's been here since 5:30," replied Sekar, who was cooking.
"W-what!" Julian said in a surprised tone and expression.
"Since she said she's is your girlfriend, so I let her in" Sekar said cheerfully as she walked toward the kitchen.
Julian glanced at Anindya, who was enjoying her tea, then thought to himself.
"So she's been here for 30 minutes!?" Julian thought, staring at Anindya with a surprised expression.
Afterward, Sekar served breakfast of fried chicken and spinach soup. Anindya looked delighted and said,
"Thank you so much, Auntie!. Your home-cooked meal looks delicious!" Anindya said with a friendly smile.
Sekar chuckled and patted Anindya gently on the shoulder.
"Ah, you're so talented for teased! Anindya. Please eat I hope it suits your taste" Sekar said with a smile.
Julian, still confused by Anindya's presence in his home, could only sit with an awkward expression. He glanced at Anindya, who seemed to be quietly enjoying her breakfast. Julian simply sighed and chose to enjoy his own. After finishing breakfast, Julian quickly got ready for school.
After all the preparations were complete, the two of them said their goodbyes and headed to school.
"Auntie, Thank you for breakfast" Anindya said, bowing slightly as a sign of respect.
"You're welcome, hohoho," Sekar said with a friendly laugh.
Sekar approached Julian and whispered.
"You're lucky, Julian, to have found such a beautiful and kind girl," Sekar whispered with a mischievous tone and smile.
Julian remained silent with an awkward expression, looking away, while Anindya lowered her head, embarrassed by Sekar's compliment.
Not wanting to be teased by his mother, Julian finally rebelled and said
"Ahh, Enough!, I'm going!" Julian shouted in an annoyed tone.
Julian started walking out of the house. Sekar and Anindya were surprised, and Anindya called out to Julian to wait for her.
"Wait for me, Julian!" Anindya said, trying to stop him.
Before following Julian, Anindya bowed slightly to Sekar, and then Anindya began to follow Julian, while Sekar waved and smiled at them both.
"Be careful!" Sekar said with a shrill smile.
Anindya waved back with a friendly smile, while Julian continued walking indifferently.
On the way, the two of them chatted.
"Anindya, I want to ask you something," Julian asked, looking ahead.
"Yes! What's up?" Anindya replied cheerfully.
"How long have you been an Assassin?" Julian asked.
"Since the third grade of junior high school, But i'm been training since the first grade of junior high" Anindya said softly.
"I see... Then why did you become an assassin?" asked Julian.
"Um... Because I want to kill criminals!" Anindya replied with a cheerful tone and smile.
Julian was surprised to hear this and said.
"O-oh, I see," said Julian with an awkward expression.
"Last question. How do you know where I live?" asked Julian.
"That's a secret~" replied Anindya with mischievously smile.
Julian was disappointed with Anindya's answer. Anindya glanced at Julian, wanting to ask him something too.
"By the way, Julian... Can I ask you something?" asked Anindya softly.
"Yes, what is that?" replied Julian.
"Why do you keep your distance when we walk together?" asked Anindya softly, glancing at Julian who was walking in front of her.
Julian kept a distance of 10 meters.
"I-it's because I don't want to cause a scene at school" replied Julian.
But that just made Anindya smile mischievously and made Anindya quickly walk towards Julian, then she put her arm around Julian's left arm. Julian was surprised because Anindya suddenly put her arm around.
"W-what are you doing?" Julian asked, his face flushed and his voice filled with shock.
"I just wanted the whole school to know we're dating, hehe," Anindya said with a mischievous laugh.
"Ahh, I was keeping my distance because I was still thinking about yesterday" Julian said awkwardly.
Finally, the two of them walked together, Anindya holding Julian's arm. When they arrived at school, the whole school was in an uproar seeing Anindya holding a boy's arm, and the whispers from the students began to reach them.
"Hey, is that Anindya?" one of the students exclaimed.
"Y-yeah, if I'm not mistaken, that guy's from the sports department," another student said.
Hearing the whispers of the students made Julian feel a little embarrassed. He could only continue walking into the school, trying to ignore all the gossip.
"Wow, so they're really dating, huh? Hahaha" Wiro said, holding his chin with his left hand and looking out the window directly at Julian.
"Hahaha, right, so he wasn't playing a prank on us, huh?" Alvin said, standing up and glancing out the window at Julian.
