The next day went on
as usual, though through Jyu Niel persuasion, Riz finally went to school again
starting today, however he did not talk to any of his classmate and didn’t
return their greetings back either. The teacher who know about Riz recent
incident did not try to make Riz answer any question as they thought that it is
better to give some space to Riz, in hope that their top student will be able
to pass this unfortunate incident bravely.
Joseph who sat next to
Riz noticed Riz’s different behaviour, but he just ignore and do his own stuffs
as usual. However he was startled when the exam result came out, Riz final term
exam result is rather bad, and Joseph name is on the first spot on the whole
grade list. Before he could go ask something at Riz, Riz was no longer attended
the school.
It seem that Riz
transferred to other school soon after the last day exam is done.

Before the exam
started, which is two week earlier, Riz brought Angela and Damian to a
kindergarten school not far from his own middle school. Though as he is sending
them there, Angela and Damian kept pulling onto Riz hand as if they wanted to
bring Riz away fast.
Riz wondered why they
are acting like that, but thought that they are just excited to go to their
school for meeting lots of new friends. So he just shrugged and think of it as
something normal, and went to school as usual. He is now used to living alone
with his two younger siblings, because the housekeeper are no longer working
with them.
Despite that, the
housekeeper still come once a few days to make sure that they are fine. She
make sure to teach Riz how to do the housework, and sometimes Riz asked her to
teach him how to cook and etc. So in this few months, Riz can already make a
few nice dishes for Angela and Damian, and he can do most of the housework such
as cleaning up, doing their laundry, mop the floor and etc. For the simple
housework, Angela and Damian often helped Riz when he is doing those.
And so, the few days
Angela and Damian keep rushing Riz when they are on their way to the
kindergarten, Riz felt that there were someone watching them, because he felt a
chill on his back. He frowned and ran to his middle school as fast as he could,
and calmed down when he is inside the school gate.
.._..
On the second last day
of the exam, as he as preparing to go pick up Angela and Damian, he met a
woman, where she blocked the road using her car. Riz stop walking, he retreated
few steps back because she looked like someone really suspicious, since she
wore a pair of black glasses, face mask, and also a cap.
“Hey there, little
boy.” She said with a smile, her voice sounded really gentle and that caused
the retreating Riz to unconsciously stop, and because of that he did not notice
that there were someone else behind him.
“?!” Riz jolted before
he fall to the ground, he could not move at all as if he was being paralyzed,
and which he was then carried by the person into the women’s car. The person
put him by laying him on the back seat of the car, with a soft pillow
supporting his head. “Who?” Riz asked with a frown.
“Ah, don’t be scared,
little boy. I’m not doing this to harm you.” The woman said as she turn around
to look at Riz. She reached up to his head and pats him slowly. “I’m sorry that
we do this because you looked like you are going to run away.”
“Don’t pats me.” Riz
said with more frown, “I will not run if you don’t dress like a suspicious
person..!”
“Mn is that so? Anyway
I just want to talk to you about something.” She said with a bit sigh, “Well I
will take them off if you felt so uncomfortable then.” She said and took off
her black glasses, showing her sharp deep red eyes, then next she took off her
face mask, showing her small red lips, and her small chin. She looked really
young, probably aged around 20-30 year old.
“…Why the need to wear
like that?” Riz asked while raise his eyebrow.
“It’s because I’m
easily recognized I guess.” She said with a chuckle. “Anyway, I’m actually here
to inform you that starting tomorrow you are going to come and live with me.” She
took out a piece of paper from her handbag, and showed to Riz before he could
say anything.
“Why, Mr Niel did not
say anything about this before…!” Riz look up to the woman after he finish
reading that, “How did our custody fall into your hand? Did Mr Niel… sold us to
you?!! Why…?” He find that it hard to believe.
“Hey hey, that’s not
it.” The woman blinked twice and laughed a bit, “Mr Niel did not sell you all.
It was I, going to him, because I quite liked you and your little siblings. So
I wanted to take you under my wings.” She said with a smile.
“I… I refuse to follow
you..!”
“Ah hey, I already got
you under my custody. So don’t make it hard, alright?” She said with another
smile. “Anyway I guess I should let you got for now.” She then gave signal to
the other person, so the other person lift Riz and bring him out of the car,
and when he put Riz at the side of the road, Riz then can move again right
away.
With that the person
returned to the car and they left fast like wind.
“…” Riz blanked a bit
due to the fast speed of the car.

The following day, the
last day of the examination, Riz has already prepared all the important
document into a bag pack, and few of their clothes are in a luggage that he put
in the infirmary, thanks to the infirmary nurse permission. He also did not
send Angela and Damian to their kindergarten today, and instead left them at
his school infirmary.
Riz then went to his
class to finish his last exam today. He answered his paper in a rushed manner,
despite maintaining a calm face, he sweated a bit as he filled all the answer
in half of the exam time, before he then stood up and left the class. As soon
as he is outside of the class, he walked fast toward the infirmary.
“Big bro!” Angela
called for him when she saw Riz enter the infirmary, “Where we going?” She
asked while she tilt her head. Damian perked up his ear to listen too, while he
is reading a story book next to the window.
“Uhm, we’ll go to a…
Vacation.” Riz said with a smile as he pats Angela head, “Because big bro felt
bit bored. That’s why.”
“Eh really? That’s so
fun fun!” Angela sparkle and Damian put down his book and tackle Riz, he was
also quite excited for that. “Big bro, really really?” Angela asked with more
sparkle.
“Yes, really really.”
Riz chuckled a bit. “We’ll, we need to go now… or we will miss the train.” He
then hold their hands and take their luggage. He thanked the nurse for helping
him keep a watch on them for today. The nurse smiled and wave her hand as a goodbye.
Riz then leave the school by taxi, heading to the train station.

Past afternoon, a
maroon car stopped outside of the school gate, and a woman, wearing a beautiful
red dress, with a black fluffy coat, came out of the car. Her three inch high
heels make her look really taller, plus with her slender leg and slim body, she
is a beauty that can topple a country down easily. She took off her black
glasses as she walk into the school gate, heading to the office building of the
school.
The other students
that are going back home was frozen on the spot, as they were unable to stop
looking at her, and some even accidentally bumped into a tree because of her.
Not long after, the school headmaster came out personally and invited her to
his office with a smile full of flattering to her.
“Wow, who is that?
Even headmaster came out…!”
“Must be someone
really important? Else why that old man would came out personally.”
“Shhh… We better not
involve in this” The students whispers around with their friends as they
glanced at the office building. After she was gone from their sights, they then
gradually left and went home, deciding that it is not their problem and they
have no need to care about this.
.._..
“Amy~ My dear cousin.”
The school headmaster said with smile as his secretary serve tea for the woman
and the headmaster. “Why did you come without telling me earlier~ I could have
prepared your favourite cakes!” He said while laugh a bit.
“Ah no need, I’m only
here to process a transfer for a student.” The woman, named as Amy, took a few
sips of the tea with a calm smile.
“Which student?” The
school headmaster asked as he sat straight up. He wondered who that lucky
student, since he has been trying to make a student exchange program with the
institute that Amy is working at, but has never yet been successful because all
his proposal were rejected by them almost immediately.
“It’s a boy, that I
heard just recently lost his parents, leaving him and his two young siblings
alone. So I just recently got his custody, and am intending in taking them in.”
She said like it is nothing much, as she drink more of the tea.
“A boy? Do you have
his name?” The headmaster asked, but he sweats since he can somewhat guess who
that boy is, and to his school that boy is quite important because he could
help the school reputation increase.
“What, you afraid I’m
stealing him from your school?” She said while she laugh, “Since I am now his
guardian, of course I want him to come with me.” She smiled.
“Uh, well, okay” The
headmaster said with a sigh, and so he then receive the student name from Amy,
and he face palmed. Then he asked his secretary to go fetch all documents
related to him, and pass to Amy, and then he signed the transfer document that
was filled by Amy, and that conclude the transfer process.
They chatted for a bit
and Amy then stood and leave, but when she went to his class, all his classmate
told her that he already went home earlier. “…” Amy can only smile and walk
back to her car.
“He… Ran away…” Amy
said to her driver, as he driver then start the car and drive away from the
school. Amy lean to the seat and close her eyes to think, she could not
understand why Riz would be unwilling to come stay with her, she wonder if she
was being too forceful about this, so she sighed and took a nap. She decided
that she will find him after the next few days.

Meanwhile, in a train
at a passenger seat are three children, one is a middle schooler, and the other
two is only a kindergarten. The other passengers glanced at them whenever they
passed by their seat because of how young they were, plus there were no adult
sitting next to them.
The middle schooler is
a young boy, with dark blue hair, and a calm blue eyes. He seems to be a really
caring elder brother to the other two children, where he is currently feeding
them some food that he bought when the staff with the trolley came by. The two young
children seems a bit excited as they keep looking around and peeked out at the
window, they wondered where they are going to. The little girl are rather
active as she always ask questions to her elder brother, and the brother would
always try to give her a good answer. Meanwhile the little boy just munch on
his food, as he is rather quiet, nevertheless he also can help but look around
curiously.
Some of the elderly
smiled when they saw how excited those two children were. The granny sitting
next to their row offered some snack to them, and open a small conversation
with the elder brother, which cured some of their boredom during the journey.
