Meet And Fall in Love
156 - Busying Yourself.

After hiding for three days in Sanari's house, Raisa decides to re-emerge into civilization as usual.

"I can't go on like this, if I just keep quiet, it seems like I'm just going to get more and more unable to forget this hurt and guilt. I have to find activities to keep myself busy and have to get out of this hiding place" Raisa muttered

For three days hiding in Sanari's house, Raisa keeps silent. Occasionally going outside from hiding just to buy food, it must also use the magic of translating form so as not to be easily found by others. He was very strict in hiding and managed to successfully hide for three days

However, after three days of hiding, Raisa could no longer bear it...

Raisa went outside. The first place he went to was the mission reception, the mission call center, and the village leader's office!

Going to three different places is the same. Raisa pleads to be given and included in the mission, whatever it is, even the hardest or easiest thing.

"Whatever the mission is, you don't matter?" ask Mr. Nathan

Raisa nodded.

"What's your reason for doing this?" ask Mr. Nathan, Village Leader.

"I want to keep myself busy" answered Raisa

Right now, Raisa was in the village leader's office. For the sake of wanting to busy themselves, Raisa to disturb Mr. Village Leader in the middle of his work that piles up to beg to be included or given a mission.

"If you want to busy yourself, usually the person is in trouble. Are you like that too? Then, what's your problem?" ask Mr. Nathan

"Em~ There are only a few personal problems," Raisa replied condolently.

"What's your problem with Rumi, your boyfriend?" ask Mr. Nathan

"Why can you guess if my problem has something to do with Rumi? Our friendship is still fine" Raisa said, not answering clearly.

"I don't mean to interfere, but I heard from Morgan. Rumi seems to be moody about not being able to meet you" said Mr. Nathan

"I understand what you mean, you're worried about me, but we're fine" Raisa said

"Alright, I won't ask you again, but for now there's no mission for you. I'll immediately tell you if there's a suitable mission for you" said Mr Nathan

"good. Sorry, it's been disturbing. Whatever the mission, please just call me. I'll take my leave first. Excuse me," said Raisa

"It's okay. Just go ahead."

Raisa went outside the room.

"Basic, young man! There's just the problem. But, when I offended Rumi as her boyfriend, she said her friendship was fine. Fellowship. Friends are not Girlfriends! Have they both broken up?! Whatever it is, I have no right to interfere" muttered Mr. Nathan

...

After begging and asking for a mission, but there is no mission for him... Raisa also chose to go home to her house that has been abandoned three days~

"I've decided to go back, so it doesn't matter if anyone recognizes me and meets right now. But, what would happen if I met Rumi, huh? It must have been a funny expression after three days of not meeting," muttered Raisa who was on her way.

His mouth did speak like that, but his mind was still very clear considering the moment three days ago saw Rumi's anger and disrespect when asked to break up. His heart was also covered in guilt.

What I just thought, really happened right then and there!

Aqila confirmed the glasses she always wore.

"What's up, Aqila? You think your glasses are problematic?" ask Morgan

"No. I just saw someone I know! Isn't that, Raisa," said Aqila

Rumi who was always together with Aqila and Morgan immediately gasped! Rumi followed Aqila's line of sight... And, he also caught a beloved figure in his eyes! Rumi immediately rushed to the figure he missed it~

"Really! Uh, Rumi! Wait for us," said Morgan who was surprised as Rumi immediately ran away.

When he was close to the figure, Rumi immediately blocked his hand to stop his steps. Also as if holding him back from disappearing again from his sight~

"Raisa .." call Rumi very carefully.

The figure turned around and replied calling out his name as well...

"Rumi?!" his response this time was more visible towards shock.

Aqila and Morgan followed Rumi to Raisa~

Raisa smiled softly.

"Raisa, where have you been?" ask Aqila

"I've seen Morgan's father in his office" Raisa replied easily.

"Aqila, for three days you haven't been seen anywhere?" ask Morgan

"Exile and calm down" answered Raisa

"You're this... Whatchu mean? Disappeared for three days to isolate and calm down, and then when it appeared you went to see my father first? Don't you know, if Rumi keeps looking for you until she's exhausted? Then, why did you meet my father?" ask Morgan

Rumi looked uneasy waiting for Raisa to answer Morgan's question. The problem is, Rumi did not tell about the breakup of their relationship with others because they still could not accept the decision at that time. However, is Raisa going to reveal it all now?

"Oh! That ... Look, I secluded and calmed down to forget the thought of the work that might have piled up in my world there. To forget the thought of all that, I need to concern myself. Hence, I was traveling alone because after I had gone with Rumi I was still thinking too. Then, since traveling alone was not working either, so I went to see Mr. Nathan to ask him for a mission in person today. Having busied myself to forget about work problems with walks to refresh my mind did not work, so I thought forgetting about work problems with other jobs might work, but there was no mission for me. Actually, I could have just returned to my world to do my job there so as not to think, but I still want to be here, be what I am today.

Then, I told Amy I wanted to enjoy traveling alone. So, I guess even if Rumi had time to look for me, she wouldn't waste any more time looking for me until she was exhausted. Is this explanation enough?" said Raisa

"But you're okay, right? You mean, you said you haven't really memorized the places here?" ask Aqila

"Because if I go with other people it seems like I will continue to be unable to memorize, so I want to memorize the places here by visiting it directly alone. And as you can see, I'm fine" answered Raisa

"If from your explanation, it seems better that you just go back to your world to finish your work. Then you won't think anymore" said Morgan

"Morgan, it looks like your words are implying something. Am I going back to my world right now?" raisa said asking while smiling wryly.

Raisa's one hand was already preparing to perform tekeporting magic and opened the magic portal... However, his actions were immediately prevented by Rumi who immediately clasped his hand quickly!

"Don't .. don't go," forbid Rumi

After only having time to call Raisa without saying anything else, now Rumi spoke up to prohibit Raisa from leaving. Initially Rumi only held one hand of Raisa to stop her steps, but now Rumi was holding both hands. It signified that Rumi was very unwilling for the girl's departure.

"Hey, I don't mean to tell you to leave right now. I just want to talk, I don't want you to leave too soon either. Moreover, it seems like Rumi did not want you to leave at all. I'm sorry, I've been carelessly talking," Morgan said

"Basic, fool! Never mind, let's just go! It seems like there is something that Rumi wants to talk to Raisa about together... We go first, yeah. Enjoy your chatting time," said Aqila

Aqila also pulled Morgan to go with her~ immediately

After Aqila and Morgan left, then Rumi showed a gloomy and worried expression to Raisa.

"If from your explanation, it means that time is a lie, right? You're just kidding me about breaking up with me, aren't you, Raisa?" ask Rumi

Raisa was silent not answering anything. At that time, Rumi understood.

"So, your explanation was a lie, huh? You just need an excuse for Morgan and Aqila. So, you really want to break up with me? But, why? I still can't understand! You even covered it up from other people," Rumi asked.

"Because I know, you didn't tell them the first time I disappeared. You better tell them" replied Raisa

"I don't want to tell them at all, just let them not know" Rumi said

Raisa also slowly releases Rumi's hand from both hands~

"Even if they don't know or they know we're still dating, even if you don't want to tell them and don't want to understand why I asked you to break up, my decision remains the same. Nothing will change" Raisa said

DEG!

Rumi was stunned to hear it.

"Then, where have you been for three days? Traveling is really just your excuse, right?" asked Rumi while looking down listlessly.

"You've asked a lot, so for this one it's a secret" Raisa replied

Unexpectedly, Raisa refused to tell Rumi of her whereabouts for the past three days.

As Rumi straightened her head back, she saw Raisa was smiling lightly~

"alright. It's okay, but promise not to disappear and get away from me again, Raisa. Please ... " said Rumi asking.

"We're just breaking up, not hostile. What am I going for from you? After all, we are, right, still friends" Raisa said

"Really! Promise me to stay friends with me" Rumi pinta

"All right, I promise," said Raisa

"May I hold you, Raisa? Just this once," pinta Rumi again.

Raisa sighed slowly~

However, Rumi immediately hugged her. If only, Raisa did not keep her balance. Maybe both of them have fallen.

"Thank you for coming back! Thankfully, when I saw you, I was relieved" Rumi said

"Calm down, Rumi. I'm not going anywhere anymore, I promise! Yes, except when I have to return to my home world," Raisa said as she patted Rumi's back.

..."After all, I feel like I should still be here for a longer time," inner Raisa...

"You're not going back to your world now, are you?" asked Rumi who immediately let go of his embrace to Raisa.

Raisa shakes.ll.

"Then, where are you going now?" ask Rumi

"I'm just gonna go home here. I've been dead for three days, it must be dirty again" answered Raisa

"Want you to take me?" ask Rumi

"No need. I can do it myself" Raisa answered quickly in refusing.

"Yes, already .." resigned Rumi

Raisa also walked towards her house.

"Kan, I told you, I can do it myself. Why are you still following me?" said Raisa who asked when she realized Rumi was walking not far from her like she was following her.

"I just want to go home check on Mika at home. He also disappeared, as if he was looking for you during your disappearance" replied Rumi

Raisa knows, checking Mika the pet cat is just Rumi's excuse. However, Raisa just let it go.

"Like this, I'm satisfied! The important thing is that I can keep seeing you, Raisa. It seems I can hold on," Inner Rumi

..."Take it easy, I'm not leaving anymore! Because I still love you, Rumi. It's just that again this is the best for both of us" inner Raisa...

...

Near Rumi's house, Mika was sitting there...

"That's it, Mika!" exciting Raisa

Seeing Rumi and Raisa coming closer, Mika got up to the two~

"It looks like Mika realized you're coming, so she's waiting here" Rumi said

"Are you really waiting for me to come home, Mika? Or is that just Rumi's excuse?" Raisa invites talking to a cat while crouching.

Mika is very familiar with humans and is now rubbing her body on Raisa's feet. Raisa also gently caressed Mika's fine fur.

"Say, Rumi's worried about you, Mika. It was a long time ago, yeah. I gotta go home. Drugs, Mika! Bye, Rumi~" said Raisa

Raisa rose up to her house leaving Mika who was in Rumi's arms.

"I can definitely be friends with him, right, Mika? The important thing is that he doesn't walk away or leave me again. Just looking at his face and smile was enough! Right, right, Mika?" muttered Rumi who invited Mika to talk in her carrier.

As soon as she entered the house, Raisa closed the door and leaned behind it.

Raisa closed her eyes to forget her tired heart. He also sighed long~

..."Asking her to stay friends after a break up, think of myself feeling over-anxious without thinking about her feelings. Am I not being selfish?! Is it worth it to say I love her? I'm so screwed, "the inner Raisa is shedding tears....

Raisa wiped her tears and tried hard. It's a decision he handpicked, he should be able to get through it all.

Raisa also diverted her chaotic mind by cleaning up the house~

•••

Next day.

In the morning Raisa was already preparing to check out the mission for her. He meets Aqila, Morgan, and Rumi.

"Do you guys want to check the mission call? I'm coming, " said Raisa

"Well, come on .. " said Aqila

Raisa also walked beside Aqila and was no longer beside Rumi~

"It's been quite a while since we last got the mission, hopefully we can have a mission together again this time," said Aqila

"Yes, hopefully. Whatever mission I'm going to do," Raisa said

"Tumben once you guys don't walk side by side? Did you talk to Raisa yesterday, Rumi? You guys are having a good conversation, right?" ask Morgan

"Yes, we talked yesterday and it went smoothly," Rumi replied as she gave a small nod.

"Good, then" said Morgan

While trying to check the mission call, the four of them meet Amy, Sandra, and Wanda.

"Hi, Amy, Sandra, Wanda! You guys checked the mission call?" greet Aqila while asking.

"We just wanted to check it out" replied Wanda

"You're back, Raisa?" ask Sandra

"Yes, I just got back yesterday" answered Raisa

"Huhoo. Raisa's! Thank goodness you're back! Ever since you said you wanted to leave, Rumi kept asking me about you, but she didn't seem to believe my words!" oceh Amy hugged Raisa.

"Easy-after. He won't bother you anymore. Kan, I'm here" said Raisa

"Here, not much drama! Let's go in" said Morgan

After checking the mission call, there were no missions for Aqila, Morgan, and Rumi. But, there was one mission for Raisa that was done today as well and it was a mission with Amy, Wanda, and Sandra!

"Raisa, be careful when you go on a mission" Rumi said

"I've had similar missions with Amy, Wanda, and Sandra as well. No problem, I'll be fine. No need to worry about me" said Raisa

After preparing, the four of them were already about to leave. This time it is a mission to deliver and escort the delivery group.

"Come, Raisa!" wanda Exclamation

"I go first" said Raisa

"Be careful," Rumi once again.

Raisa nodded, passing by Amy, Wanda, and Sandra.

"Let's go" said Raisa

•••

Just yesterday coming home from a mission, today Raisa already has a new mission call for tomorrow with Dennis, Marcel, and Billy.

"You just finished the mission yesterday, don't you just turn down tomorrow's mission?" ask Rumi

"It's okay, I want to do it. Still have to wait tomorrow to set out on a new mission, today I can still rest" replied Raisa

This time, whatever Raisa's decision, Rumi won't say much. What else is currently Rumi already has no right to ban because the relationship between the two has run aground~

Next day.

From the beginning of knowing Raisa, Rumi did not like when Raisa became closer to Dennis. This time, Raisa will go on a mission with Dennis. Rumi was a little unwilling.

"Just calm down, Rumi. From the beginning I had no intention of snatching Raisa from you or having any special feelings for her. You don't have to be jealous" Dennis said as if he knew Rumi was jealous of him all along.

"Who says I'm jealous of you, too" elak Rumi

Also true! All they know is that Rumi is dating Raisa without knowing the two have broken up.

..."As it turned out, Rumi still had not told the others if we had broken up," Raisa's inner...

"There are three of us guarding Raisa, you don't have to worry, Rumi" Marcel said

"Really! The three of us will protect her" Billy said

"It's been... We go on a mission first" said Raisa

Raisa goes on a mission with Dennis, Marcel, and Billy.

•••

It's been a week since Raisa went on a mission with Dennis, Marcel, and Billy. It had been three days for Raisa to rest and no new mission had called her.

Today, Raisa was summoned to the village leader's office along with several others. If it had been summoned to the village leader's office, it was usually a high-level mission with a certain difficulty or an important mission that was an emergency.

Inside the village leader's office, in addition to Raisa there are still members of two teams, namely Devan, Ian, and Chilla. Then, Aqila, Morgan, and Rumi.

They waited for the Village Leader to tell them about what mission would be given to the seven of them.

"All of you who come here will carry out the same mission. This time you will go to the Bamboo Village on the border between the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation" said Mr. Nathan, Village Leader.

"Specifically, where should we go and do what?" ask Devan

"Reporting if there is a mysterious dark monster attack that attacked the village and many children are victims of the monster attack because there is an orphanage there. So, you will stay at the orphanage to investigate about the monster attack while protecting the children in the orphanage. You are asked to stop the monster attack and protect everyone there. Although there are many victims other than children in many places there, your priority remains in orphanages because many children are helpless who cannot protect themselves," explained Mr. Rafka, who was not involved, Village Leader Advisory.

"Hope you to be careful and always vigilant. Because according to reports, the monsters that attack not only one but many, and attacks often occur at night," said Mr. Nathan advised.

"When should we go on a mission this time?" ask Aqila

"Because it's quite a difficult task, make preparations before leaving, and you can leave tomorrow. Hope you arrive at the mission destination this time before nightfall, which is the peak time for monster attacks" replied Mr. Rafka

"It's close because it's just on the border of the Fire Nation and the Wind Nation, we can definitely get there fast" Morgan said

"Hopefully it will be as you say, Morgan. Because it looks like you're going on a difficult mission this time. And remember, the name of the orphanage where you will stay is Cahaya Kasih. Make the best preparations possible before your departure tomorrow" said Mr Nathan

"good. We understand," said Ian

"We are ready to make preparations and eat as much as possible before leaving tomorrow" said Chilla

The seven of them moved out of the village leader's office.

From the moment she heard the explanation about the mission she was going to run, Raisa just kept silent. However, he really understands what kind of mission he will carry out along with the risks that may be experienced.

"Raisa, why did you just keep quiet from before?" ask Rumi

"I'm just thinking about the mission we're going to have starting tomorrow. It might be difficult, but I think we can finish well no matter what," Raisa replied

"Do you have some kind of hunch?" ask Rumi

"That's it, but that was just silence not just me, you know! You were as silent as I was inside the village leader's office, too" Raisa said

"That's because I'm busy watching you just standing still" Rumi said

"You are a very quiet person, yes, Rumi ." said Raisa

After from the village leader's office, the seven of them were murmuring somewhere. To discuss what they might do while carrying out the mission that starts tomorrow.
