SECOND MEETING LEO AND KIARA

"Kiara, wake up! You'll be late for school. This child is very difficult to wake up," she grumbled. "Kiara wake up!!" Someone shouted from outside by knocking on the door repeatedly.

In the room, Kiara tried to get out of bed. "Yes ma'am, Kiara is awake!" The answer was shouting.

"Hurry up and take a shower! You'll be late for school!" His mother ordered from outside the door.

"Yes yes!" Kiara replied.

Not long after, there was the sound of gurgling water from inside which indicated Kiara was taking a shower. After hearing the sound of water, his mother left from the front door of the room.

A few minutes later, the sound of footsteps came into the kitchen. "Mom, what's for breakfast today?" Ask Kiara already wearing a school uniform. Long hair tied in a ponytail with bangs that adorn her face, adds to the beauty of Kiara Larasati's appearance.

"Mom has already made fried rice because today I don't make cakes so I can prepare breakfast for you."

"It smells so good, I'm hungry," said Kiara looking at the fried rice on the table.

"Hurry up and eat, it's already noon. You'll miss the bus to school," said his mother.

Kiara immediately ate the fried rice made by her mother, in an instant, it was gone.

His mother shook her head at the behavior of her only child. "You are a girl, eat like that. Look at that! Cats eat slowly," her mother pointed at the cat who was eating in the corner of the kitchen.

"Kiara is not a cat, Mom!" Kiara protested.

"Well, you know you're not a cat, so if you eat it right. You're my only child, Mom hopes! Take care of your etiquette!"

After eating, Kiara cleaned her lips with a tissue. "I know, Mom's only hope is me. Don't nag too much in the morning, Mom, or the blood will rise."

"If you are advised you always don't want to listen," his mother grumbled.

"Muach, muach!" Kiara immediately kissed her mother's left and right cheeks. "I'm going to school ma'am!"

His mother could only shake her head to see her son who went out of the kitchen to go to school.

.....

"Stop! Sir stop!" Kiara shouted from inside the bus to stop the bus that was already in front of her school. The bus stops right across the school road. Kiara hurried downstairs because in a few minutes the school bell rang.

"Finally arrived," she said to himself after passing through the gate.

"Miss Kiara now doesn't oversleep anymore," said the school guard who was getting ready to close the gate.

"Yes sir," Kiara replied with a sweet smile.

"Miss Kiara, don't smile too long, you're scared," said the guard when he saw Kiara.

"What's wrong with my smile, sir?" asked Kiara confused not understanding.

"Miss Kiara's smile is very sweet, Father is afraid of getting diabetes," replied the school guard with a smile.

"Ah, Father. Nothing," replied Kiara, smiling sweetly. "I'm going to class sir, the bell is coming soon."

"Yes, Miss, please. Study diligently to be smart," replied the school guard.

"Thank you, sir," Kiara replied and hurried off to her class.

The bustling classroom atmosphere has become a common sight. It appears that in the classroom, the children are sitting in groups. Some are busy cheating because they haven't done their homework, some are busy dressing up and some are gossiping.

"Have you done Silvi's assignment?" asked Kiara standing beside Silvi.

"Oh my gosh, Kiara! You startled me!" Silvi screamed and almost fell from her chair because she was focused on playing the game.

"Early in the morning already playing games, your eyes are damaged!"

"I'd rather play games than join them, the gossipers," said Silvi with her lips directed at the group of girls in the middle seat.

"It's true what you said," answered Kiara looking at her friends who were gossiping. "Have you done your homework?"

"Yes," Silvi answered with her eyes not leaving the screen of her phone. "Aaa!! I lost, you're distracting me!!" Silvi shouted annoyed.

"Why am I being blamed?" Kiara asked confused.

"You've been talking to me ever since!" Silvi answered.

"You're just a fool, can't play!" Kiara said mockingly.

Not long after, the entrance bell rang. One by one the children dispersed and returned to their seats.

...

Elsewhere in a very luxurious mansion.

"Master, are you awake?" Bowo's voice came from outside the bedroom door.

"Come in," answered from inside.

"Master, do you want something?" Bowo asked once inside.

"I want coffee. Don't be too sweet," Leo replied.

"Yes sir." Mr. Bowo immediately left.

Not long after, Bowo was back again with hot coffee on a tray.

"Put it on the table, I'm going to take a shower first," Leo said.

"Yes sir." After placing the coffee on the table, Mr. Bowo came out again from the room.

It didn't take Leo long to prepare himself to go to work. With a neat suit and right hand carrying a laptop, Leo came out of his room.

"Bowo!" Called Leo down the stairs.

Bowo was in the living room and immediately rushed to meet his Master who was coming down the stairs.

"Yes sir!" Bowo answered from the end of the stairs waiting for his master downstairs.

"I'm going to have breakfast in the garden, prepare it there. Where's today's paper?" he asked.

Bowo quickly took the newspaper that was on the table, not far from where he was standing. "This is the newspaper, sir."

"I'm going to the park. Don't be too long Bowo!!" Leo said then went to the park with a newspaper and laptop.

The distinctive smell of plants mixed with the fragrant smell of blooming flowers adds to the fresh air around the garden. Leo immediately sat down at the round table.

Not long after that came the servants who prepared everything for his master's breakfast. Various dishes are served on the table. Without waiting any longer, Leo immediately ate his breakfast.

"Boo!" Call Leo after finishing all his breakfast

"Yes sir," Bowo approached his master.

"I want to go to the office. Maybe come home late at night, there is a meeting this afternoon. Take good care of the Mansion!"

"Yes sir, don't worry," replied Bowo politely.

Leo just left and not long after, he heard the sound of a car leaving the Mansion. Leo rarely uses a driver because it is more comfortable to bring his car.

The highway looks so congested, the sound of horns shouting at each other adds to the noise of the atmosphere.

"Geez! When will you get to the office if you're stuck in traffic like this?!" Leo grumbled from inside the car. "Better find another way! So annoying, I hate traffic jams!!"

Leo carefully turned the car around, then got out of the main road not knowing how long the traffic jam would take.

"How long do I have to be patient waiting for traffic jams? It's already 10:00 a.m, I can be late to the office for a meeting," he muttered looking at the luxurious watch that was wrapped around his right hand.

"It's a bit further down this road but it's better than being stuck in the middle of a traffic jam!" Leo kept talking to himself while driving very carefully.

.....

"Kiara, where are you going?! Why outside the gate?!" Silvi shouted half running after her best friend who was walking towards the school gate.

Kiara who felt her name being called immediately looked back.

"I'm going to the bookstore in front of me, my notebooks are out. Do you want to come with me?" Ask Kiara.

"I don't want to come," Silvi answered, catching her breath which was up and down from running. "I was going to take you to the library."

"I can't go to the library. This is also in a hurry to buy books, afraid the bell will ring," Kiara answered.

"Then hurry up and leave!" Silvi said. "I'm going to the library!!"

"I go!" Kiara resumed her hurriedly stopped steps.

Arriving at the edge of the highway, Kiara tried to cross but the vehicles were very crowded and did not stop passing by.

After not so many vehicles passed, Kiara slowly stepped across to cross. But suddenly from the right side of the road, there was a very fast car that almost hit him and left only a few centimeters of the distance between the car and his body.

"Aaaaa!!!" Kiara screamed in surprise with wide eyes looking at the car that almost hit her.
