1 1. Angela Richi

"Angela?" A thirty years old man is looking for his only daughter in a small garden in front of their living room. There she is, planting new flowers and any kind of herbs.

"Yes, daddy." The seven years girl stood up and came closer to her daddy. "Did you call me? Is there anything I can do for you?" The girl is so pretty with her flawless white skin that bequeathed from her London Mom, black hair from himself as a Javanese person, and blue eyes that are not passed down from her mom nor her dad.

"Have you finished your planting yet? Your mom just finished cooking. Let's have lunch first then you can continue playing with sands and worms." Angela is laughing to hear that.

"Okay dad, I'm going to wash my hands and feet first. I'll come in after finished." Angela goes to a toilet from a back door. She cleans her cloth which was covered by dust and sand.

After all have been cleaned well, Angela comes to the dining room and sits on her chair. There are only 3 people in this house. Angela doesn't have any brothers nor sisters. The dining table and chairs are only suited for 3 persons so it doesn't need a long and wide shape.

"Wow, I like fish fries and spinach. Thank you, mom." Angela gives her big smile to her mom. Her dad and mom smile her back. Her blue eyes are always stunning every second.

"What time will you start to study?" Due to Angela's special case, she doesn't go to normal school as other students. Mr. Ruben and Mrs. Sally, Angela's parents, prefer their daughter to study at home only or people always call homeschooling.

"We will start learning in 1 hour." Angela answers happily. She always likes to learn new things. She likes doing indoor and outdoor activities. Their daughter seems having many capabilities more than any other kids at her age.

And finally, lunchtime is over. Mr. Ruben is going back to his study room to continue his work as a civil engineer. He receives a project to design an electric steam power plant in East java. Meanwhile, Mrs. Sally is a famous home-baker that her specialty is cakes and cookies. Today, she receives an order to make a cone-shaped rice or nasi tumpeng for celebrating the anniversary of her neighbors. She makes it alone without any assistance.

Not long after that, Angela's teacher comes. Her name is Mrs. Susan. She is still a college student in semester 7. Susan's doing a part-time job to support her education fees.

"Are you ready now, dear Angel?" Susan sits in front of Angela, after talking a moment with Mrs. Sally in the kitchen.

"Yes, mam." Angela takes her book and her pen. Today's subject is math. Angela loves math better than other subjects.

"Ok, now let's start the lesson." Susan likes Angela. Her blue eyes are always able to hypnotize Susan and make her day brightly.

Thirteen years later...

"Mom, I want to go to a grocery store. Do you want me to buy something for your cake?" Angela, the blue eyes teenage girl now become a young energetic beautiful girl. She is getting more beautiful, smarter, and more powerful. Her blue eyes make her an amazing girl with incredible powers.

"No thanks, dear. Take care on your way and back home. Don't forget to wear your sunglasses." Angela doesn't like to wear soft lens so she should wear sunglasses to protect her eyes from the sun and people's questions.

"Ok mom, I'm leaving now." Angela wears her helmet and rides her favorite motorcycle to the grocery store. She wants to buy some of the family's monthly shopping. The road is very crowded and the store is still far away.

At a traffic light, she stops her motorcycle beside a black luxurious car. The glass window of the car is so clean and bright. Angela looks at herself at it and smiles at her own self. Sometimes, she tidies up her cloth that looks messy. After a couple of minutes, the window was pulled down and a man inside smiles smirky. A man with a black suit and wearing black sunglasses also. Angela can't recognize well the man looks but it's very clear that he feels uncomfortable.

"Sorry." Angela raised her shoulders and smiled awkwardly. Fortunately, light has changed into green. And, Angela rides her motorcycle at a high speed leaving a strange man inside his luxurious car.

"Weird." The man said calmly.

"Pardon sir?" His driver asked his boss who sits at the back.

"Nothing. Just continue your driving!" The boss pulled up the window to get closed.

"Yes Sir." Said the driver in a state of confusion.

Angela has arrived at her custom grocery store. She likes to shop here because the store has all the things she wants at a cheap price and all people here are very friendly and helpful also. She parked the motor and put her helmet on the motor. She runs to the store before it's very crowded.

Once Angela entered the store, the black luxurious car just arrived and parked as well at the car parking area, besides the motor parking area. The driver got out first and opened the back door for his boss. A very tall man around 188 centimeters, dark hair, and very dark eyes gets out and tidies his black suit.

He enters the store using a special door. Someone welcomes him and leading him to a place he wants to go. Using a special elevator as well, he goes up to the highest floor in this store.

"Morning Mr. Jacob." All people who meet him bow their back and smile politely and obediently. However, he never gives any response to their homage. He walks toward his office room and comes in after his secretary opened the door for him.

"Make me a cup of black coffee, less sugar as usual." He told his secretary sharply.

"Yes sir." The woman left the room and prepared it.

Someone knocking at the door stops him from opening his laptop.

"Come in." He said.

"Morning sir, I'd like to inform you that there are 2 outdoor meetings today with a client from Singapore and Korea." Said Anto, his personal assistant.

"Okay. Anything else?" Asked Jacob.

"No, sir. I'll be back to my chair." Anto said with respect.

"Hmm," Jacob replied without any look to his loyal assistant.

Boxed milk, Formula milk, Butter, Egg, Cheddar, Rice, Bread, Noodles, Spaghetti/pasta, Plain flour, Low protein flour, Cornstarch, Food coloring, Sugar, Premix flour (ice cream, cake, etc.), Seasonings, Cooking oil, Kitchen salt, Cooking oil, Vinegar, Soy sauce, Salty soy sauce, Chili sauce, Mayonnaise, Chili powder, Garlic powder, Pepper, Coriander, Candlenut, Ground pepper, Turmeric powder. What else? Angela sees so many things in her trolley now meanwhile she rides a motorcycle just now. How can they fit? I should remove some of them and buy what we need most only, for now. Later, I will come back to get the others, Angela murmuring.

She pushes forward the trolley to a cashier. The queue is quite long. Oh, Angela remembers that today is the first day of the month. So, most people just got their salary and they spend it first to shop. While waiting her turn, Angela plays with her phone. Suddenly, some people near her talking in a whisper.

"Look, a cool rich man. He is the most wanted husband to be. He doesn't have a wife nor a girlfriend yet. I want to marry him." Some girls speak in a very low voice. Maybe they are afraid of men beside them. What a silly girl, Angela thinks. She doesn't notice who the man is. She prefers to focus on her phone to check her online shop that sells many women's such as bags, clothes, hairpins, hats, shoes, and sunglasses. Angela runs her online shop since she was still in high school. Her parents give her all she wants but she likes to earn money by her own self.

"Mommy, I want that toy." A kid cries loudly to his mom. He points to a toy that is at the highest place he can't touch.

"Mommy can't touch it, dear. Let me ask one person to help." The mommy looks for a helper to get on to the upstairs. But, the kid can't wait. He climbs up to the shelf to get the toy by himself. Soon, the shelf is shaking and the boy is in the middle of climbing trembles and he will fall soon. And, no more waiting, the boy fell to the floor. Angela runs to the boy as soon as flash and catches him. Angela freezes all people in the store so she can catch the boy.

Soon after she hugs the boy, she puts him on the floor. Then, she straightened back up the cupboard that had almost fallen and hit the boy. She only has 10 seconds to freeze the time. Then, she runs into the queue again and stands as she did.
