…
Rita and Teresa seemed annoyed when they arrived in front of Hime. Sweat dripping on Rita's face made her hair stick to both cheeks. Meanwhile, Teresa, who was darker than the others, was struggling to catch her breath. Teresa stood on her hips and took a deep breath as if her lungs were big enough to hold a lot of oxygen.
"Forgive me Hime, Petra, and Chia. Brother is late because of something sudden. Suddenly my lover can't come, he said, there is a family matter." It was clear that Rita seemed calmer than Teresa beside her who was still doing breathing exercises.
"Me, too," added Teresa on the sidelines of taking a deep breath.
"Then what's with your faces? Her expression isn't that pleasant, like crying on hold?" Hime investigated, Hime's curiosity was so great to know more about the reason Rita and Teresa had just said. Hime's detective instincts finally emerge.
"How can I not want to cry Hime, we haven't had the chance to buy the entrance ticket and now it will be sold out. There's no remaining. Even though they insisted on buying tickets for us, but in the end, they also canceled because of family matters that didn't make sense." whimpering Teresa, in the end, could not stand the breathing exercise she failed to do to contain her emotions.
"They? Sounds like your lover is still a relative or a close neighbor?" investigated Petra.
Now it is Petra's turn to be curious about the figure of the boyfriend of two of his classmates.
"Cousins. Yes, they're still cousins," said Rita in response to Petra's question.
"Then how do we get in?" whined Teresa, who was still concerned about the ticket business.
In the next second, Teresa let out a soundless roar with a funny facial expression. Meanwhile, Rita was hysterical by pulling her hair.
"Calm down Teresa. I, I mean Chia has a VVIP pass. We can all go in and sit on the bench that has been provided." Petra said, trying to stop the ridiculous actions of his two friends. Even Petra just tried hard to hold back his laughter when he said to calm the two girls who were excited by themselves.
Hime and Chia could only laugh silently at the behavior of two adult girls who did not reflect themselves like an adult girl who was said to have had a lover. More like a child who cries howling when a lollipop is taken away by a brother.
In the end, they entered the horse racing arena. They sat in the Levi family's VVIP stands, where only the five of them filled the spacious room. Hime even shook his head in awe and spoke to himself so softly, the other friends couldn't hear what Hime was saying.
"It's good to have a rich kid boyfriend, Petra." joked Rita while stretching her legs in one of the soft seats.
Rita's eyes kept glancing across the room as if it had the power of a laser capable of scanning anything that looked suspicious. But apparently, the result was nil, found nothing.
"So it is," Petra replied feeling uneasy to himself.
For Petra, it is common to get the number one facility from the Levi family. However, this time when he and Petra's friends felt that the treatment was quite outrageous. And just realized, if Petra can be said to be very lucky that he did not bother to get it.
"So ... what did you do until that Lyon man fell in love with you?" Teresa asked curiously, glancing at Petra from the corner seat.
"Nothing special. Just being normal like now. If you could say I also don't know the reason." answered Petra honestly. It was useless to lie to his friends. Especially since they were in the same class who had known Petra for a long time.
"Hmmm ... maybe it's because you Petra is this kind of indifferent that makes Lyon like you." interrupted Hime as if he was answering a question. Even his left hand he put under his forehead as if he was thinking very hard.
"Maybe Lyon is tired of beautiful girls," added Rita, who joined in putting her left hand under her chin.
"So you don't think Petra is pretty?" Teresa said almost shouting no acceptance.
Teresa, whose skin was darker than the others, always admired Petra's smooth skin and beautiful appearance. For Teresa personally, Petra's face is a mixture of oriental, roman, and Persian.
"That's not what I mean Teresa. Of course, Petra is beautiful. Too pretty in fact. The problem here is because of Petra never tried to show that she was beautiful. You see, her face is seldom touched by make-up. If only Petra wanted to dress up a little, not only Lyon but one school would be crazy about him." Rita argued furiously.
"Why are you even talking about me?" Petra said, not accepting himself to be the subject of conversation before his eyes.
"Sorry, Petra. But everything I say is a fact," said Rita defensively.
"You're right Rita. I'm the one too poor to buy make-up," said Petra, trying to end the pointless conversation.
Hearing Petra's words, which stabbed everyone in the room, they were silent, silent. They more than anyone know that Petra is a simple girl, preferring the library to the school canteen, preferring to work in the cafe in front of the school rather than going to the mall for a walk.
Petra, the girl who received the scholarship at Metropol High School with the best grades, only comes from a poor family, according to the standard of living in Metropol, of course.
Without them knowing it, horse racing has started. Only Chia ran towards the room dividing glass with a racetrack. Where there is Lyon who is competing. Lyon on its white horse led the way in the first round.
"Look sis Petra! There is uncle Lyon in front!" shouted Chia hysterically, with her left index finger-pointing in the direction that was intended.
Hearing Chia's scream, the four of them headed towards where Chia was and looked for the figure Chia meant.
