Land Of Luma &Ruma

"Are you sure you didn't make a mistake? How did you get the money?"

"My allowance. Where else do you think I got the money from?" Neema shot Rex a glance.

"I...I thought..." Rhema became emotional.

"I hate you? Of course I still do."

"Then why did you help her?"

"She stopped school just for us to continue and helped Mommy by working as a waitress and I am grateful. Besides I hate owing debt."

Rhema and Rex were surprised and shocked. Surprised, because Neema is a proud person. Since children, she never liked Rhema but no knows the reason. Excited that she can finally start school again.

Rhema stood up and strood towards Neema.

Neema carefully stepped back. "I...hey...you..what do you want to do?"

Rhema embraced her. "I need five minutes."

Neema shut up and secretly clenched her dress.

After five minutes, Rhema broke the hug. "You don't have to thank me and I don't owe you anymore. School is starting in the next two days."

"But...I.."

"You're scholarship." Neema chimed in

"Scholarship?"

"Yes. I applied yours based on scholarship. Luckily, yours was approved but in the next three weeks, there will be examination to know whether you deserve it."

"Thanks. I also have something to say."

"Be quick. I'm ..."

"I'm now an actress under SE." Rhema said excitedly.

Rex and Rhema's eyes widened. "A what?"

"An actress. Four days ago, I went to Syarr Complex Building for an audition and guess what?"

"You passed. Who doesn't know what you're good at." Neema rolled her eyes.

"Really? You passed the audition?" Rex's eyes curled into a crescent moon as he smiled. "That means in no time you'll become Nation's Flower Girl. I'm so happy for you and Lil sis."

"Oh please. I'm smart and I've always known that I'll become a study there one day, so there's nothing to celebrate about. And also I am not your Lil sis, Pumpkin. I'm older than you." Saying it aloud, she turned around and stormed out in anger.

Outside the room, Neema leaned on the door as her heart beats faster. "Finally it's over. I almost had heart attack there." Sh placed her heart on her chest and breaths slowly. She proudly smile and said . "You did just wonderfully, I guess this calls for a celebration." She said as she went to her room.

...

Tsk tsk tsk! Why do it when you can't handle it." Rex shook his head.

"Huh?"

"She could have fainted if she stay a little longer. I still don't get why she did that."

"She just said it."

"She lied. Do you know how hard it was for her to say all this to you? But why did she have to pretend? From what I know, she doesn't hate you. If sh doesn't, she wouldn't have applied that for you and with her money."

"Hers?"

"On the day of her college entrance examination, she said she can't go to school with a scooter. Meanwhile, she didn't want you to be late to work. Immediately, you drove off, she walked to the Center. Oh! And don't tell her I told you."

"S..she did that?"

"Yes, but how did you get signed under SE?"

"Actress Arya helped me."

Rex was stunned. "You know her?"

"Actually, I don't. She came to the restaurant three days ago with her cousin."

"Her cousin?" Rex was stupfied. "You mean actress Keva?"

Rhema couldn't believe what she was seeing. "You like her?"

Rex's face flushed. "Yes. I...are you two close?"

"No but I heard Ivy took a photo with her." She smirk.

Two Days Later

"Mommy, please can you drive a bit faster? I'm late to school." Chaya said.

"And whose fault was it?" Mrs. Lin affectionately glanced at her daughter.

"Mommy ~" Chaya pouts.

"Fine? What about Kumar? Do you still have a crush on him?"

"Mommy! I don't have a cru...Wait! How do you know?" She blushed.

Mrs. Lin smiled. "You're my daughter, of course Mommy knows her Sweetie."

"Too bad, I don't like him anymore."

"Then why is your face red? Don't tell me it's because the car or weather is hot because it's not." Mrs. Lin stopped the car as she ask.

"Oh! Gotta go. Bye Mommy ~" she kissed her on the cheeks and ran into the school compound.

Mrs. Lin shoot her head and chic as she watched her daughter run.
