7.

Dastan looks awkward, confused what to answer. Likewise with Gia who sat next to the man.

"Ee, I... you really don't remember me?" Dastan asked quietly.

In a second, Skala could see the sadness in the eyes of the man in front of her, only for a second but managed to disturb her.

Should Skala remember the guy?

Why did he look sad that Skala didn't remember him?

"I..." Skala looked confused and felt guilty. The girl somehow felt bad.

"It's okay, if you don't remember. My name is Dastan, I go to the same school as Gia. Nice to meet you, Skala." Dastan said quietly, then extended his hand towards Skala.

His mind flashed back when he first met Skala, a beautiful girl with MOS accessories who make it look funny.

At that time Dastan was observing Skala from the sidelines, the girl was being punished in the middle of the field. Stand up and salute towards the flagpole. The scorching heat of the sun made the girl wince hot.

Dastan glanced at the bottle of drink in his hand and then took the initiative to give the drink to the girl.

"Drink, it's troublesome if you faint later," Dastan snorted, handing the drink bottle in front of Skala.

The girl just looked at Dastan in silence. Did not accept the bottle of drink offered by the man.

"Don't just stare, my hands are sore," Dastan snapped impatiently.

"Thanks," Skala muttered, reaching for the bottle.

As soon as he saw Skala drinking the drink he gave her, Dastan hurried off without another word.

Skala looks at Dastan's back which is moving away. He smiled slightly as the man scratched the back of his hair.

"Nice to meet you, Dastan," said Skala and shook the hand of the man named Dastan. Skala looked at her hand which was linked with the man's hand, there was a subtle vibration that propagated until she released the link. It's strange how he feels now.

"Why, La?" asked Gia who caught Skala's strange attitude.

"Huh? It's okay." Skala tried to smile even though it was awkward. "Ehm, if you two go to the same school, it means we've also been to the same school, right. We're in the same class?" he asked then tried to change the topic.

"He's at IPS, La." Gia who answered Skala's question.

"Oh." Skala nodded in understanding. "But don't we know?" he asked curiously.

I know, La. Very familiar though. Dastan looked deeply into Skala's eyes, trying to see what the girl was thinking.

"Yes."

"Oh, yes. How do you know? Do you mean familiar or not? Where do you know? How long? We..."

"You're just like a detective," Dastan commented, cutting off Skala's questioning sentence.

"Ha ha ha ha." Skala just laughed awkwardly.

Gia secretly gave Dastan a faint smile, giving the man support. Dastan must be sad that Skala forgot him. This meeting was a pretty good start for both of them. They can repeat the story from the beginning, it is not difficult to fall in love with Dastan.
