"Vikram, where is Laura? Why doesn't she accompany me to study?" Angkasa looked at Vikram who seemed to be getting ready to go to school. After the incident at the hospital, Laura ordered Angkasa to study science because Angkasa was left behind a lot. Angkasa's voice is clearly audible, although sometimes his voice will stutter at certain times.

Vikram smoothed the collar of his uniform, his fingers running through his hair. His eyes glanced at Angkasa through the mirror. The man Laura brought overlooked at him with a sad look. He seemed so looking forward to Laura's arrival.

"Laura told me to keep an eye on you, to study hard. Before you finish reading and understanding the material in all the books, you are not allowed to meet Laura." Vikram squeaked, why would any man depend so much on Laura?
