Refald's sudden departure left a deep pain in my heart. But unlike the old me, now I also become stronger and stronger than before.
Maybe if I were the one who used to be, it would fall because of my sadness. And will continue to dissolve in endless disappointment like when I lost my mother.
But now that I am different, Refald taught me many things about the true meaning of life. We can't keep remembering the bad past because we can't go back to living in the past, but we have to keep fighting and managing the future to be better. That way, we can live happily without hurting the people we care about.
As it happens to me now. Although now that Refald is no longer by my side, the good memories with him will always be in my heart. My feelings for her will never go away either. I'm going to keep this feeling and put it in my heart and lock it deep.
Only, the departure of Refald this time left the same impression as when he came. I remain an impromptu celebrity. The difference is, at the time of Refald's arrival, they hated me so much because I was the only one who could be close to him. This time, they acted otherwise, very pleased and satisfied that Refald had left me. Even most of them pitied me because they thought I had been dumped and thrown away like trash by Refald.
Yeah....! How else would you like? As Refald once told me, everything that happens cannot be prevented or changed.
I don't really care what people say about me either. They have the right to express their opinions and thoughts at will, all I can do right now is show them that I'm okay. I can live a better life than ever, because I have changed now, and that is thanks to Refald.
“Have you heard from Refald, Fey?” ask Yua who has started attending school and doing activities as usual.
I shook my head while smiling. To this day I still can't reach him. The phone he gave me was still there for me. I tried calling him over and over again hoping that Refald's number was still active. But the result remains nil. Refald was not contacted at all.
I keep Refald's phone as his last memory and hope that one day he'll call me back. Although I doubt he will do that, because it is very unlikely to happen. At this time, he may be happy with his partner. Perhaps also, he had already found someone he was looking for, which is why he left me without giving a clear reason, even without saying anything.
It was fitting that the night that Refald was more silent and different than usual. He must have planned his departure, and deliberately didn't want to tell me.
The guy is like a cute ghost who comes uninvited and goes un-delivered. It came and disappeared without leaving a trace.
“It's been five days. Is he really gone?” ask Yua again.
“Could it be?” Reply lirih.
“Are you okay, Fey?” looks like Yua is worried about me.
I understand that Yua must be worried about me, because after all, she knows what my relationship with Refald is like. He even witnessed the key to our second kiss.
“Of course I'm fine Yua, you don't have to worry like that!” I tried to smile happily in front of Yua. In fact, in my heart I was crying.
“Then? What about tomorrow's show? Will it still go according to plan?”
“Of course,” I replied briefly.
I am grateful to still be able to do my job well in preparing for an important event in my organization despite my broken heart. However, thanks to my busy life, I was able to forget my sadness. I didn't realize it was the fifth day since Refald disappeared.
The first day was hard for me, because all my friends used me, they all thought I was dumped by Refald. If I may be honest, they all had to make me depressed, but I tried hard and remained indifferent to face their insults and insults.
The second day, they no longer harassed me, and I continued to live my busy life preparing activities that would be held tomorrow after tomorrow. On the third day, my life went back to normal as if nothing had ever happened. However, I still continued to come to my grandmother's house to pack my things and decided to stay again at my old mother's house.
At first she objected and wanted me to stay with her until I returned to Japan. But I refused, because I wanted to spend more time with my friends as before. Grandma could not prevent me, she obeyed whatever I wanted to do on condition that I should visit her often, and I agreed to that condition.
The fifth day, today. I feel like I'm reborn into a better person than ever before. Completed my duties and obligations, and also began to prepare for the future that I would do next. That is, returning to Japan, but before I return, I will fill a lot of happiness for all my loyal friends who have been by my side and accompany me under any circumstances. I also intend to tell them all my secrets before I leave.
The bell for school has rung. We went home together as usual. This time it was a little different. Nura who is usually always cheerful so often become our months, lately become a bit more quiet than usual. Several times we asked what happened, but Nura never wanted to answer. Likewise with today, he is more silent and dreamy. Not like the usual Nura.
“What's with him? Is he possessed?” I asked Mia.
“Maybe.” Mia watched the dreamy Nura as we boarded the public transport together.
“It turns out you're not the only one who's heartbroken here. The difference is, you look good, and he looks very bad,” said Yua.
I digest Yua's words. Nura is fascinated with Refald and is also interested in Eric. Both are no longer here. It's only natural that Nura became like this.
“But ... who was close to Refald was you, right, Fey? Why is he the one with the broken heart?" ask Mia.
Me and Yua shrugged each other's shoulders. We also don't know why Nura was so dramatic about the departure of Refald and Eric like this.
“Looks, Nura bucin with Eric!” I expressed my guess.
“What?” Mia surprised.
“Who Eric?” ask Yua. I just realized that Yua doesn't know about Eric yet, it's because she's in the hospital and just came home after Refald and Eric left here without leaving a trace.
“She was a friend of Refald, the person we had seen at Mia's house when she asked me for an address back then.”
Yua tried to remember. “Oh that guy at the time? So, his name is Eric?”
I'm nodding.
“You all have met? Why am I the only one not?” Mia tried to protest. “I'm so curious what the face of a man named Eric is.”
“It's better not to, than later you'll be pregnant with him too, just like Nura at this time. You're quite bucin with Rio only!”I said, and Mia blushed in embarrassment at my words.
“Are you home like that, Fey? If there is no us?” ask Yua. He pointed at Nura who looked lethargic and messy with his eyes that were like kuntilanak eyes.
“I won't go crazy like him just because of guys like them. If asked to choose, I would rather lose a thousand men like Refald than lose you!”i honestly.
Yua and Mia were moved by my words. “You are indeed the best, Fey!” mia said while giving her thumbs up.
“How about today I treat you to lunch, because tomorrow we will work hard for the final training and preparation of our event, my”liku.
Yua and Mia compact agree. They look very happy. I am also happy to see it. They are my precious friends. I will continue to make them happy, in return because they have been loyal to me all this time. Although what I gave them, it could not be comparable to what they gave me, even if I had to exchange it for my life. Because thanks to them as well, I was still able to survive until now.
