Chapter 3: Chapter 3
"brother…brother… where are you? Let's go back upstairs. Uncle and Auntie are waiting." she called out, worried.
After some time, the door opened with a creak... creak... Alivia's arm was grabbed, and her shoulder was gently pushed against the wall.
"Ah, what are you doing, big brother?" said Alivia, confused. Her lips were touched with fingers and then forcibly kissed.
Alivia was silent and bewildered, her mind racing to understand what was happening, yet she could only accept it in complete confusion.
Moments later…
"That was very sweet." Abdi whispered into Alivia's ear.
"Let's go, Uncle and Aunt are waiting upstairs." said Abdi, immediately pulling Alivia's hand and going upstairs.
Alivia without thinking, immediately followed without considering what had just happened.
"Oh my goodness, you two are so slow! The food will get cold, come on, hurry up." said Aunt worriedly.
"Why are you so slow?" asked Uncle.
"Umm, I also had to go to the bathroom bro, that's why it took so long... sorry hehe." said Abdi while scratching his head.
During the conversation, Alivia was the only one who was silent. She didn't know what was on her mind, she was just confused.
"Alivia, how's the food? Is it delicious?" asked Aunt Astrid, surprised to see Alivia silent.
"Umm... eh... it's delicious, Aunt," said Alivia in a strange tone.
The three of them seemed to enjoy talking together, only Alivia acted unusually.
Arriving home in the afternoon...
"Mom, I'm home," said Alivia happily.
"Oh, honey, how was the gathering?" asked her mother with concern.
"Umm, it was really fun, Mom. There are so students at the islamic boarding school." said Alivia.
However, Alivia didn't tell what happened at the restaurant because at her age, Alivia was still a innocent child. Alivia then went straight to her room because she was tired.
Two weeks later...
the first day of school had arrived, where Alivia would be entering the 4th grade of Elementary School.
Alivia was actually a very good friend and a very cheerful child.
"Hi Alivia, what did you do during the holidays?" asked Anya, who was Alivia's classmate.
"Umm... during the holidays I mostly helped my mother at home and also went to the gathering with my family, that's all." said Alivia.
"Oh okay, the bell is about to ring... let's go to the classroom." said Anya holding Alivia's hand.
Class had started, Mrs. Beti who was the English language teacher.
"Okay children, I'll give you an assignment, you translate the names of these animals into Indonesian and look them up in the dictionary." said Mrs. Beti attentively.
"Yes, teacher." the students replied in unison.
"Alivia please...you look it up later, I'll ask you, you're pretty good at English." said Nanda, Alivia's deskmate.
"Mmm... okay, I'll give it to you later." said Alivia with a sullen face.
"Okay, I'll take it from you later, I want to go to the canteen first with the others bye...bye." said Nanda, who immediately left Alivia.
In the canteen...
where the children gathered, especially the circle gang of girls led by Fera whose followers were Lina, Fina, Ella, including Nanda. The five of them were in the same class as Alivia.
