9

After school, this time Ify went home alone because Via was picked up by her father to visit her grandmother.

"Hhaaa, otherwise Via is lonely too." muttered Ify sighed while sitting in a waiting chair at the bus stop with a young man who was not very clear to him because the young man lowered her head.

"When will the bus arrive?" complained Ify, staring at the silver chain watch on her wrist, a gift from her stepmother on her 15th birthday.

"Maybe in 15 minutes." Ify muttered to himself again, trying to be patient with occasional glances around the road to find the shadow of the bus she was waiting for.

"Hi." Said the young man next to Ify made the girl surprised while staring at the young man alertly because for no reason he spoke to him, especially at this time only the two of them in this place

At times like this, Ify immediately remembered Alvin's story about a group of mafia who kidnapped girls to sell or take their organs and seemed to know what Ify was thinking at this time, making the young man look up and look straight at the beautiful girl while chuckling .

At that time, Ify could immediately see clearly the face of the young man who sat two chairs with him, she was stunned by the young man's handsome appearance, even Ify could see skin that was whiter than her skin.

"Sorry, sorry if I surprised you. I just wanted to say hello, nothing more. Because it's so quiet there are no chatter here." said the young man friendly but did not make Ify feel lost on the contrary the feeling was getting bigger even though earlier she was fascinated by the good looks possessed by the young man beside him.

"Yeah, it's okay. Hehee." Ify replied stiffly, chuckling blandly.

"My name is Rio, what's your name?" asked the young man who turned out to be Rio flatly but gently to Ify while stretching out his hand.

"I-I'm Ify." replied Ify half hesitated to return her helping hand or not, but in the end Ify welcomed the handsome young man with a stiff expression.

"Waiting for the bus too?" Rio asked starting a small talk after the two of them finished shaking hands.

"Um, but why don't you come over?" complained Ify was a little calm, making Rio chuckle silently.

Suddenly a shiny black car stopped right in front of the bus stop, making Ify frown in confusion and feel alert again, because for a car as luxurious and as good as it is very unlikely to stop at this bus stop.

"Want a ride?" Rio asked as he stood up and turned to Ify with a friendly smile.

Ify glanced back and forth at Rio and the car that stopped in front of him, she did not think at all to agree with Rio's invitation, moreover the two of them had only known each other for a few minutes.

Since childhood, her grandmother and relatives have always warned Ify not to follow strangers, especially people she just met, no one knows what they will do later if she follows them

"Huh? No, there's no need. Besides, it looks like the bus will come soon anyway." refused Ify shook her head hard.

"I force you, it's not comfortable leaving a beautiful girl like you alone sitting at a bus stop. If something happens, what happens?" Rio replied, making Ify hesitant.

"Em, b-but-."

"Come on, I'm not going to kidnap you anyway. Besides, I heard from some people now that rampant kidnapping of girls and rape." Rio's words made Ify cringe but she was still doubtful whether to accept it or not.

"It's not that I want to scare you but it's hard enough for me to leave you here alone, I can guarantee that I won't do anything weird to you. If you don't believe this just check my identity." said Rio again as he took out his wallet then took his identity card then handed the identity card to Ify.

With doubt, Ify grabbed the identity card then began to compare it with Rio and thoroughly check every information written there.

'Turns out he's from K cty, quite a distance from this town.' Ify thought when she saw the origin of the city written on Rio's identity card.

"Okay. Then thanks for wanting to give me a ride." said Ify, finally agreeing to return the identity card to Rio as she began to follow Rio to her feet.

"No problem." Rio replied then turned to walk to his car followed by Ify behind and when he arrived beside the car door the young man politely opened the car door for Ify, then the girl entered awkwardly because she was treated like that by Rio.

After seeing Ify sit down Rio then closed the car door slowly the door then walked to the side car door then entered and sat next to Ify.

"Street!" Rio ordered the driver.

During the trip, there was only silence between them, but it didn't last long when Rio started asking Ify.

"What grade are you?"

"Me? I'm still in grade 1 high school." answered Ify.

"Pretty young." Said Rio making Ify frowned in confusion.

"What class are you in?" asked Ify back.

"I've graduated from college, do I look like I was still in high school?" Joked Rio made Ify surprised.

"Really? Honestly I thought that you were in high school or college." replied Ify still in disbelief.

"Yeah right, even I've been working." Rio replied while watching Ify's beautiful face from the side.

"Cool, you must have been so smart that you got into acceleration class." said Ify, knowing what she didn't expect Rio nodded in agreement.

"How do you know if I'm in acceleration class?" asked Rio.

"Yeah, because what I know is that the kids who take the acceleration class have a different intelligence than normal people, even if I look at it it looks like you're 19 or 20 years old." Ify replied half-lying because in fact she had previously said it simply because she had read too many novels.

"I'm only 20 years old." Rio replied, adding to make Ify feel amazed.

"Then where do you work now?" Ify asked curiously to Rio.

"In a small office and just a regular office employee." Rio replied with a mysterious smile making Ify puffed out his cheeks in annoyance.

"I do not believe, whether an ordinary office employee can use a luxury car to be picked up by a driver like this." Ify replied, making Rio ruffled the top of Ify's mane with exasperation.

For some reason, when the two of them interacted, it didn't look like it had only been a few minutes for them to get to know each other, it could be seen that Ify and Rio had known them for a long time with a harmonious atmosphere and without being awkward around them.

"I trust the boss, so they asked the driver to pick me up when he found out that the car I was using before was broken and was being repaired." Rio explained as if what he said was not secret enough and Ify, who didn't understand it, just nodded in disbelief.

"Oh, that's nice then your boss." Ify comments with sincere praise.

Ify fell silent again, she began to pay attention to the road that was quite lonely with boredom, but a small smile formed on her pink peach lips because when she arrived at Ify's house she planned to immediately tell this to Via so that her friend was jealous.

"Want to drink?" Rio offered, handing Ify a bottle of isotonic drink.

"Wish, thank you. You're really kind." said Ify as she picked up, starting to open a cold drink bottle, who knows when to buy it without the slightest suspicion.

"Just relax, think we're friends." replied Rio, slightly smiling on his lips, making Ify even more stunned by the increase in the young man's good looks when he smiled.

After the bottle cap opened without lingering Ify drank the water until it was half of its original content because all this time she had indeed felt thirsty due to the hot sun when she was walking from school to the bus stop, Ify didn't realize that when she was busy sipping the drink, Rio replaced his smile with a sly grin.

"Hhaaa, fresh." muttered Ify when he finished sipping the drink.

Meanwhile Rio is just staring silently straight ahead ignoring Ify, it seems like she now starts to feel suddenly sleepy after drinking the drink given by Rio, but at that time Ify didn't suspect that at all and thought she was just tired plus the comfort he felt Ify while in this car

"Go to sleep when you are sleepy, and when you arrive I will wake you up." said Rio while pulling the girl's head back on his shoulder.

"B-but―"

"Go to sleep." Rio's cut made Ify finally nodded slightly without thinking twice because she was so sleepy, she even ignored the young man's words which previously felt strange because the sleeping goddess brought him first.

"Slow down the car speed and lower the temperature of the air conditioner!" Rio ordered coldly to the driver.

"Yes sir." replied the driver obediently slowing down the car and lowering the temperature of the car air conditioner as ordered by Rio.

"In no time will you be mine." whispered Rio as he pushed away Ify's hair a little covering the girl's curly lashes with brown slices.
