One by one, other classmates approached to have a drink with Tilda.
Among them were Myra and Keanu.
âTilda, cheers!â Keanu said, gazing at Tilda with affection.
Tilda didnât refuse and clinked her glass with his.
âWait a minute.
Itâs not fun to drink like this,â interrupted a male classmate who was close to Keanu.
âLadies and gentlemen, letâs forget the present and pretend weâre back in our school days, okay?â
âSure! In that case, Iâll confess my feelings to the girl I love,â another male classmate chimed in.
âKeanu, you and Tilda were a perfect match back in school.
Why donât you have a dance with Tilda?â
âDance with her, dance with her!â The boys cheered enthusiastically.
Though happy, Keanu feigned a bit of reluctance with a smile before turning to Tilda.
âTilda.
â
âExcuse me, I need to use the ladiesâ room,â Tilda said abruptly.
Somehow, she felt a bit overheated.
She frowned, put down the juice, walked past Keanu, and left.
Several classmates were taken aback.
âHey, Tilda, why are you leaving?â
âTilda, weâre just kidding.
Donât take it seriously.
â
Myra glared at them and said, âEnough! Tilda is married.
Isnât it rude for you to act like this?â
Winnie echoed, âYeah.
You guys are awful.
â
Keanu felt a pang of disappointment.
Tilda didnât even want to talk to him.
He wanted to ask what she had in mind.
As Keanu was about to follow Tilda out, Myra stopped him.
âKeanu, since Tilda doesnât want to talk to you, donât bother her.
â
Winnie agreed, âYeah, leave her alone.

At this moment, Evita and her companions approached with glasses in their hands.
