Julian's excitement makes Qiara feel relieved because she doesn't have to pretend in front of her mother to be nice to Julian. 

One week has passed. 

Renata's condition stabilized again. Qiara returned to school feeling calm.

Approaching the school exam. Demian returned from Holland. His face was serene and his cold expression showed his own charm in the eyes of the girls at his school and Qiara was no exception.

"Qiara". Said Demian who suddenly was beside Qiara. 

Feeling her name called out, Qiara turned around. Instantly she was surprised to see that handsome figure. The genius who was none other than his nemesis from kindergarten to high school. 

"Demian ... When are you coming home?". Valen asked with a complicated expression.

Meanwhile Qiara was just stunned because she didn't know what to say. 

"I came home yesterday!". Demian replied while looking at Valen with a smile.

Valen felt like melting when she saw Demian smiling at her for the first time.

"Ohhh gosh ... Are you smiling at me?". Valen asked in surprise. 

"Valen, don't overdo it!". Said Qiara who was embarrassed by her friend's silly behavior. 

"It's okay, I'm even comforted by Valen's behavior". Said Demian. 

"Welcome back to this school, Mr. Genius!". Said Jesica, interrupting the conversation between two of her other friends. 

"Thank you! Then I'll go to class first". Demian stopped before entering the classroom then looked at Qiara". Wait for me to come home from school later, I have something to say to you". Continued Demian. 

After that, Demian immediately entered the classroom with a broad smile on his face. 

Qiara's heart skipped a beat when she heard Demian asking her to meet him after school. Without realizing it, Qiara smiled to herself. 

"Qiara, you make girls jealous". whispered Jesica with a sly smile.

"Why can they envy me?". Qiara asked innocently. 

"Because the first time Demian greets you. I hope Demian's return can make you stop being enemies! If you can become a partner, hehehe". Said Valen, grinning with joy.

"Khem ... Khem ... Who wants to meet up, Hahaha". Jesica continued, who also didn't want to lose to tease Qiara.

Even though they knew very well what Qiara and Demian's past animosity was like. However, they feel proud to see that their best friend can be close to the school idol.

Qiara only smiled at the temptation of her two best friends. 

Demian's return to school again made Qiara forget about her conflict with Julian. Although for a moment. But, Qiara felt happy about it. 

"Woee... why are you daydreaming?". Jesica asked while nudging Qiara's shoulder. 

"What the heck? I'm not daydreaming. Okay, let's go to class!". Qiara said shyly as she pulled the arms of her two best friends to enter the classroom.

After that they all entered the classroom. Learning goes very quietly. Qiara, the tantrum maker, is not in the mood to throw tantrums anymore because she is determined to make her Mama happy as a substitute for Vania. 

Home hour. 

Time is running out, school time has finally arrived. Qiara tidied up all her books and put them in a bag. 

"Qiara, hurry! You have been awaited by Demian at the door of the classroom". Valen said while glancing at Demian who was standing in front of the door. 

"Yes". Qiara replied with a smile to herself. 

"Demian, are you waiting for me? I wanted to say hi to you earlier, but I didn't want to stop focusing on studying so I canceled my intention. Oh yeah, it's been a while since we met, do you want to have lunch together?". Greet Laurent sassy and at the same time intends to make Qiara hot.

"No, thank you!". Demian replied expressionlessly. 

"Oops ... Rejected ... Haha ... To know the feeling that women are pretentious and smart". Said Valen with a sly grin at Laurent. 

Hearing Qiara's friend's taunts, Laurent clenched her fists, but she managed to hold back her anger because she didn't want to upset Demian. 

"Never mind Vallen! Do not ignore that witch!". Jesica said. 

Valen immediately fell silent and ignored Laurent who was still trying to get Demian home together. 

Seeing Laurent's way, Qiara suddenly thought of Xi Xio hugging Julian mischievously that night. 

"Guys are the same. Can't see beautiful women". Inner Qiara with a dark expression as she glanced at Demian, who still looked cool chatting with Laurent. Just at that moment, Qiara's cell phone rang. She immediately picked it up because it was from her mother.

"Hello Ma! What's wrong?". Qiara greeted her after sliding the green icon on her cellphone.

"Honey, are you already going home?". Renata replied softly. 

"Qiara will arrive home soon. What do you want to buy?". Qiara replied in a soft tone. 

"Mama wants you to come home quickly. Because Mama has made delicious dishes for you". Renata replied.

"What? Mama cook? Didn't Qiara tell you that you take a break for a while?". Qiara said sarcastically. 

"Mama is healthy, dear. And Mama is bored in the room, so Mama cooks. It's just that, because you lie in the room too long. Mama's muscles feel weak. It was clear that Renata was trying to make her daughter not worry about her.

"Whatever the reason, Mama can't do anything. Qiara will come home right now. Wait until Qiara comes home, Ma!". After saying that Qiara immediately turned off her cellphone and quickly got ready to leave. 

"Qiara, why are you in a hurry? What's wrong? Is Aunt sick again?". Valen asked worriedly.

"I have to hurry home. Because, I'm worried about my mother whose condition has not recovered properly". Qiara replied with a slightly anxious expression.

"I see. Well, you just go home! Later in the afternoon we will go to your house to visit Aunt, because yesterday we did not have time to go to the hospital". Valen replied sadly. 

"Yes. I will wait for you and of course prepare delicious food and drinks". Qiara replied excitedly because she was happiest when she could be with her best friend. 

"Okay". Valen and Jesica said together. 

"Alright, I'm going now!". After saying that Qiara left the classroom as she passed Demian and Laurent who were still standing in front of her class.

"Qiara. I". Not yet had time for Demian to continue with his words. Qiara had run far from him so Demian was confused by Qiara's attitude. 

Meanwhile, Laurent smiled because she was happy to see Qiara who she thought was jealous so she ran. 

"Qiara". Shouted Demian again who tried to stop Qiara and ignore Laurent.. Unfortunately, Qiara pretended to be deaf because she was annoyed with Demian who served Laurent.
