Journey To Arshila's Heart
Chapter 10: Take Care

In their final year of high school, a student exchange program is being prepared by the school. This program will give some students the opportunity to study abroad for several months. Arshila was very interested in the program and felt that this was an amazing opportunity to develop herself.

One day, Arshila excitedly told the Son about the exchange program. They sat together in the school garden, and Arshila's face was excited as she talked about the possibility of going abroad.

The son listened attentively, but in his heart was worried. He knew that if Arshila was accepted into the program, they would be separated for several months. He did not want to lose Arshila, but he also did not want to prevent her from a very good opportunity.

"Really, Put, this is my dream," said Arshila with sparkling eyes. "I want to experience new things, learn about other cultures, and pursue my goals."

The son smiled, trying to calm his own heart. "I know, Arshila. I'm just worried that we'll be apart for a while."

Arshila grasped the Son's hand gently. "We will definitely miss each other, but we can deal with it. It's an amazing opportunity, and I hope you support me."

The son felt his heart feel lighter hearing Arshila's words. She wants to support Arshila's dreams and happiness, even though it means they have to be temporarily separated. He nodded slowly. "Of course, Arshila. I will always support you."

The son and Arshila sat together in the school garden, a calm and warm atmosphere filled the place. They have spent a lot of time together since the Arshila student exchange program was announced. Now, they had to talk about their plans and feelings regarding the temporary separation.

Arshila began the conversation, her eyes looking for the Son's sight. "Put, I want to talk about going abroad. It's a very big opportunity, and I feel happy and nervous all at once."

The son nodded, knowing that this was an important moment in their relationship. "I'm happy for you too, Arshila. You deserve this chance."

Arshila smiled thankfully. "Thank you, Put. But I want you to know that even if I leave, my feelings for you remain the same. We can keep our relationship, right?"

The son grabbed Arshila's hand gently. "Of course, Arshila. I'll always be there for you, even if we're temporarily separated."

The son thought for a moment, then smiled. "There's one thing I've always wanted to try, and maybe now is the right time."

Arshila. "What's that?"

The son revealed his plan happily. "I want to be a regular scout at our school. I want to join the camp and go on an adventure with friends. It's something that always makes me curious."

Arshila smiled broadly. "That's a great idea, Put! I'm sure you'll be a great scout."

The son was delighted to see Arshila's support. "I'll sign up tomorrow. It'll also be a great way for me to stay busy and keep my mind positive while you're gone."

Arshila grabbed the Son's hand and grasped it tightly. "I'm proud of you, Put. I know we're going to get through these tough times and stay strong together."

The sun had moved lower in the sky, giving a warm twilight glow to the school garden. The son and Arshila sat together on a park bench, enjoying a quiet moment together before the afternoon really arrived.

The son smiled as he saw the sky change color, and he spoke softly, "Udah afternoon, go home yuk!"

Arshila smiled too, feeling happy with their togetherness. "Yes, you're right. It's time to go home."

The two of them stood up, feeling the warmth of the sun dimming. The son clasped Arshila's hand, and they walked together out of the school garden towards their home.

As the sun sank further west, Putra and Arshila were happy to spend time together at the end of this beautiful day. They know that although there will be a temporary breakup in their lives, their love and support for each other will always bring them back together.
