As promised by Alma this morning. This afternoon in the cafeteria, precisely at the baso seller became so crowded filled with children who were in class with Alma. They ate baso together, of course Akio who paid all the bills. While he himself did not eat, only gave some money to the meatball seller and left the canteen while pulling Alma's hand to follow him.
" Where are we going?, have I also pesen two portions, for us", Alma does not know what Akio wants. But he decided to go back to class.
" I've asked the same canteen to ante your boarding to class, plus two glasses of orange ice" said Akio as he encouraged Alma to sit on his stool. Akio himself pulled out his bench and sat facing Alma.
Alma's message arrived, and just like Akio said, plus orange ice. The right combination on a hot day like today.
" Why do you even want us to eat in class, right friends in the cafeteria, habits have never changed" according to Alma Akio is still the same as his initial attitude, he said, I don't like crowds and public places.
" Do you like it when I eat to be seen and cared for by the girls?, or do you like when you eat and are noticed by the male's eyes?".
" We're the center of Al's attention again, and I don't like any other guy staring in awe at you, and I know there's a lot of people doing that, and I know that, there are so many boys who admire you, because I can know and hear their inner voice, I can read their minds".
" And strangely almost all of them are interested and so curious about you".
" I'm sure if I'm not around, a lot of them are coming straight for you".
Alma just shook her head, this is not the first time Akio is like that, it has become a habit he is suddenly jealous blind, but Alma is understandably, because Alma knew that Akio could read minds and hear the hearts of others.
" You can always know and understand their hearts and minds, but you can also understand and know what my heart is. So I hope you don't have to dispute such things, I'm just yours, and you know that".
" We're eating now, the bike is cold, and the orange ice is warm" Alma muttered slightly jokingly.
" We will leave tomorrow to Jakarta, so do not be jealous and angry like that, I do not want our love story journey both filled with jealousy and misunderstanding. I want us to be happy until the end of our journey".
Alma feeds her baso to Akio, hoping that Akio becomes slower and less jealous. And it turns out that Akio takes Alma's feed, and slightly restrains his ego.

After school Alma and Akio again faced the headmaster's room, tomorrow the day of their departure to Jakarta, and the Headmaster conveyed a few words and also gave a message to the two of them.
" I'm very proud of you both, to be a gold medalist at the National Science Olympiad, it has brought the good name of the school, and made this school very well known throughout the country".
" Especially if your next struggle also resulted in the same victory, really I as the principal in Pelita Jaya already do not know what else to say, can only thank the Almighty and congratulate you both".
" So big hope of you two, there is one thing that makes you curious, is it true if you two are dating?, I hope it does not affect your thinking ability".
Alma looked at Akio and Akio immediately agreed.
" We were dating, and it didn't have any effect on our way of thinking, because we were dating before we left for Jakarta four months ago, and it didn't have to worry you".
Akio said with such confidence.
" Tomorrow you will go to school first, and Mr. Bayu, your homeroom teacher will take you to the Regent's official house.
" Good sir, we understand, then we beg ourselves".
Alma and Akio came out of the headmaster's room, the atmosphere of the school was quiet as all the students had already gone home.
***
The day of Alma and Akio's departure to Jakarta also arrived, as before Akio and Alma came to the Regent's official house and the release was carried out in the district pendopo. But not as lively as the release event that was previously attended by many participants. Akio and Alma of course set off in the same car, there was no need to fuss like before, as only they were both participants from the same area.
But it turns out that OSN friends also came and delivered their departure, there are Diana, Leo and also other friends.
" Good luck!", exclaimed Diana, clenching her hands over her chest, as she saw the car carrying Akio and Alma out of the pendopo gate, escorted by several patrol cars.
Alma who opened the car window and saw Diana nodded and smiled very sweetly.
" Even the longer she looks more beautiful, the more I want her, I hope Akio gets bored and leaves Alma, let alone Akio's ex, I don't care if it's Alma". Leo who was standing next to Diana instantly got a bogem on his arm.
" You are not their level, we are mediocre students, while Alma and Akio they are special, where maybe Akio bosen same Alma, genius girl that will not ngebosenin tau, he always gives surprises and surprises continue.if the guy is mediocre, and a little slow lha it's new ngebosenin, not creative, expecting someone else's girlfriend!". Diana insinuates Leo by saying that he is a slow guy.
" It's up to you to know what I am, obviously all relationships have an end, either because of problems, or others, and I hope their relationship doesn't last long", leo's voice sounded so deep in Diana's ears that she was still staring at the patrol car that was accompanying Alma and Akio's departure.

At 3 pm Alma and Akio have arrived in Jakarta, they went straight to the hotel that has been prepared for the Olympic participants who will leave for Almaty next week.
In addition to Alma and Akio, it turns out that some participants from other regions have also just arrived, together.
Alma and the other participants also said hello to each other. They obtained different hotel rooms, all of which there are 9 participants who will represent Indonesia. And each participant was given privacy to sleep in different rooms.
It makes Akio feel happy, because there is no need to rent a hotel alone, and can also enter Alma's room at any time, because Alma is in the room alone.
" It's nice to meet you guys, hopefully you can be a partner who supports each other and is fun to work with". Lydia from Surabaya waved her hand and went into her room to rest.
" Don't get too close to her...."
" He has a crush on you right?, I can't read your thoughts and hear your rich inner voice, but from his gaze and attitude I can also tell if he has a crush on you".
" You're weird, there's other men who have a crush on me, you don't like it now there are other women who have a crush on you, you don't like ". Alma chuckled to herself as she walked into her room. Alma and Akio's room faced off, it would be very advantageous for Akio to sneak into Alma's room at any time.
" I want to rest first, take a short nap tired, do not disturb!", Alma opened the door of his room and immediately closed the door again, Akio just smiled ignorantly while entering his own room.
