How Will You Say Goodbye?
SEASON II - The bloodthirsty young man

Joana Ivanka Veron, a girl who is arguably not young anymore. He is now 28 years old, not the right age to play games anymore. Joana never thinks about her partner. Nor is he interested in men. Joanna wants to get married too. The same is the case with Kinan, Desi and Sinta who already have their own families.

For nearly 10 years, Joana has focused on studying health. Joana completed her studies quickly, thanks to her ingenuity she even got an extension path that could accelerate her graduation in medicine. After graduation, Joana continued her studies to take a specialist in the field of Psychiatrist or Psychiatrist. (So if you want to be a Psychiatrist it must be a medical school first well Guys️ new abis it can take specialistnya. Well, if in Indonesia take medicine 6 years and 4 years specialist. A total of 10 years to actually be a character and open a practice. If abroad, there is an extension term for students/i who are smart so they can speed up the passage; more or less so. Corect Me If I Wrong🙏)

Joana did all that not for herself. His dream of becoming a reliable psychiatrist was formed since he was 17 years old. At that time Joana began to recognize the problem of love.

Joana, who lives in London, is very familiar with the blind dates of teenage children. Several times he did introductions and was close to the opposite sex; it was common in Western countries. And again their families did not bother about it.

It's just that Joana, who is still bleeding Indonesia, is very uninterested to do to what extent her friends do. There is a limit to Joana. If at the age of 17 years his friends have many who are not virgins, that is not the case for Joana. Although in the school environment telling about a blind date that ended the loss of virginity is not taboo anymore, but for Joana it was a step too far. The girl still considers taboo things that are used as material for everyday stories of her friends. I don't know, Joana's just looking after herself for someone who's really entitled - that's what she thinks.

Until one day, Joana knows a young man who is able to make her have unusual feelings. Steward Alexander Collin's. The young man seemed closed, in contrast to Joana who always appeared cheerful and what she was. The beginning of their introduction is the beginning of a party of young children that is often held on Halloween.

Joana was wearing a white dresscode covered in blood, while the young man was wearing a Vampire-style suit.

"You were supposed to hide that blood from my sight. Ksu knows, I'm bloodthirsty!" Said the young man when they did not know and know each other's names.

Joana giggled amusedly at the young man's remark which she thought was a joke and part of his acting wearing a Vampire suit. "You know this isn't real blood, right?" Joana asked back while laughing.

The young man smiled slantedly. "If it's real blood then I'd be very happy." Said grinning.

Again Joana just considers it as a joke on Halloween events. Joana smiled and mentioned her name. "I'm Joana, what's your name?"

Joana was not aware, that's where the beginning of the destruction of her life began.

...*...

"Joana, where are you?" The voice of the middle-aged woman filled the hallway of the house. Looking for the whereabouts of her 17-year-old daughter.

The woman heard the crying voice of her daughter. The woman with pitch-black hair opened the door of Joana's unlocked room.

"Joe..."

"Darling, are you crying?" Mama Joana asked to see Joana sitting back to her position staring at the television screen. He saw Joana's shoulder moving as if it was sobbing. He approached and drew closer to Joana who was unaware of his arrival.

"Joe.." Mama Joana reverses Joana's position so that her daughter immediately looks at her.

"You why? Crying?" His forehead wiggled in wonder.

Joana smiled gently, she shook her head slowly. "I was watching Ma's family drama." Joana flat.

"Keep crying?"

"Nobody."

"Don't lie." The mother scanned her son's face and she noticed an irregularity. "Why are your lips?"

Joana looks flabby. "So fell right into the gym at school." Quickly answer.

"Fall down? He fell in the wound there?" Ask the mother to be suspicious.

Joana nodded again. " Yes, Jo knows, Ma. Of course Jo can choose the wound where it falls."

"Hmm, yeah let Mama compress. How swollen. Like you're just getting hit!" Mama said as she headed to the refrigerator in Joana's room. Joana who was chewing a snack while watching television was immediately choked and coughed due to the words of the mother. Joana reached for the bottle and drank the water until the bottle was empty.

Mama returns to the spot where Joana was watching while carrying a basin of ice water and some wound-cleaning medicine.

"You if anything be careful. Don't get this wound." Omel the Mama compresses the wound on the lip of Joana.

"Yes, Ma..."

"Jo, do you know the new family that occupies the empty house on the left?"

Joana shakes. "No, Ma."

"Ck! Don't be like this guy who doesn't know your neighbor's face! If you join Mama living in Indonesia there, all the neighbors know the same new people. Let alone new people, the same problem people like to know best, Jo!" Mama Joana keeps nagging the unclear.

"Mama's habits.The anger is not in the filter. Where's Joana's fault, Ma?" Shirt Joana.

"Wrong you because you don't get along! Don't follow people's traditions here, Jo! cute and not friendly!"

"Well, how do you keep going? Mama herself married Daddy who is here right? Then what's wrong with Jo acting like the people here?" Joana thunts.

"Yes at least imitate the nature of Mama who is friendly to everyone." Mama chuckles.

"And as a result Jo will be underestimated for being friendly." They both chuckle together. Where they live, a friendly attitude is unusual. Only certain people can be friendly and can accept the hospitality of others. All impressed closed and indifferent with his surroundings.

"That's Mama for Pancake, you come to the new neighbor and give pancakes as a greeting."

"But, Ma..."

"It's common in Indonesia, dear."

"This is not Indonesia, Ma. It's London."

"Then do it in London." She leaves Joana's room and Joana purses her lips.

Joana heads to the kitchen and picks up the warm pancakes her mother had just made a while ago. He would not want to have to obey the will of the mother. Joana also took her footwear and half ran towards the house that is usually empty but now filled by new residents.

Joana pressed the doorbell and when it opened, she was surprised to see Xander staring at her with a grin. The young man who was not much different from him then crossed his chest.

"Did you miss me so much that you followed me to this house?"

Joana frowned in wonder. He himself did not know if the inhabitants of this new house were the Xander family.

"Xander.I.."

"Come in." Xander said as he flicked his shoulder towards the house.

Joana went into the yard of the house.

"What did you bring?"

"Pancakes."

"You made it?" Xander looked enthusiastic.

"No, my Mama."

Xander scowled, his hands clenched. For some reason he suddenly hit the table in front of him.

"Xander, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay."

"Are you not happy with my arrival?"

"It's normal." Answer Xander flat.

"But I'm glad to see you. You're a neighbor to me." Joana put the pancake on the table.

"Where's your family?" Ask Joana.

"They went to buy the necessities for this new home."

"Oh..."

"It seems you're very happy. Different from me." Xander let out a long breath.

Joana frowning. "You're really not happy with my arrival?"

"Yes, but I'm more unhappy when my expectations don't match my expectations."

"Xander, what are you hoping for?"

"I wish that pancake was your thing."

Joana giggles. He thinks Xander is making a joke.

"I'll learn to make it for you." Joana. "To be happy." Continue while looking at Xander's eyes that are now dimming tend to darken.

"Why?" Joana asked who saw Xander unmoved and silent without a sound.

"You want me to be happy?"

Joana nodded.

"Do as we did back at school."

"But..."

Xander scratched his nose, and Joana recalled the incident that happened at the school this morning, which caused the tip of her lips to bleed.

"You said you wanted me to be happy. That's what makes me happy, Jo."

"But it hurts. You see this is still injured and just treated by my mama."

"Then we do the other part. You want?" Xander grinned intentfully.

Joana shook her head, suddenly her face was deathly pale and Xander enjoyed the pias face displayed by Joana. He laughed so hard.

"Haha... Jo, I seem to like you. Like you so much. Do you want us to date from today?"

Joana shakes. Although she had an interest in their meeting at the beginning of the Halloween party, Joana is now really afraid of Xander.

"I-I can't. I ha-have to go home "Joana wants to escape from Xander's presence, but that's when her hand is blocked by Xander. "Nobody can refuse me, Jo! From now on you are my lover. Until then!" His word.

Joana was pale, sweat dripping from her temples and as she wanted to leave, Xander stole her first kiss so brutally that the wound on the tip of her lips spewed blood.

"You are my lover. Remember that!" Xander's voice kept ringing in Joana's head.

...Seriate......
