REPEATING TIME
There's a New Diary


With a heavy heart he put the old book to its secret place. And behind the door of the room there was his mother who cried tears of joy to hear her daughter who seemed to be happy.


Wiping her tears Kanna moved to her study table. Opens his new diary that Near bought.


The writing on the first page is


[You may forget when you wake up tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow again. But behind that is something I want to say to myself. Be strong you have a precious friend who sticks out an arm offering you help. His name is Near, I tell myself that tomorrow write more of my activities with him and don't forget him]


Kanna smiled writing every word of her first page.


FLASHBACK END


It turned out that what Kanna was holding right now was an old diary. While the writing about Near is in his new diary, whose diary is now not found anywhere in his room.


Her mother knew that her daughter had 2 books that now the other one is missing somewhere. Kanna still does not know that there is still a new diary she has written.


Too soon to know the truth, Kanna's mother hides that Kanna has 2 books by pretending as if there is no new book there is only one book that is being held.


"It's not that you've only had one book" said Ms. Kanna, pretending to be astonished.


"Hmmm. But why is there such a writing on the last page "ask Kanna to herself.


"Hmm.maybe it's just your feeling" her mother tried to make her son not to think too much.


"It seems so..." Kanna stepped away leaving the kitchen listlessly.


Kanna's father was finally able to enter the kitchen. His mother began to shed her tears again.


"I'm sorry.sorry mom, Kanna. Your mother had no intention of hiding the truth. Seeing you used to be so happy waiting for tomorrow with Near, makes your mother want to tell you the truth." Kanna's mother sobbed to hold her voice so her daughter wouldn't hear her.


Kanna's father tried to calm her down by hugging her. "Let's just calm down, Kanna. I'm sure Kanna understands what you're taking now."


"Emmm.." Kanna's mother nodded.


**********


Kanna returned to the room in a lethargic state. He threw himself onto the bed while looking at his old diary.


"Is it true there is no new diary. But why is there this writing.do I ask Ardi only, about whether we ever buy a new diary. Looks like mom trying to keep this "gunam Kanna is still curious.


********


Kanna starts going back to school as usual. Kanna seems to be the talk of the class because she has not been in for 2 weeks. But no one dared to ask because when they asked it was always not answered by Kanna.


Kanna started to sit back to her usual place. He realized that he had to stay away from friends according to the information in his old book.


Because the experience of Kanna Junior High was very bad. When his friends get tired of telling him or it could be said that they start to hurt because Kanna forgets every day.


From that experience Kanna avoids her High School friends.


************


The school bell rings.


the lesson went on as usual as if there was nothing. Kanna who sat in the back seat herself became sad because she had to be alone in a quiet classroom.


(Not even one of them would sit with me) Kanna said inwardly glancing at her empty seat no students were present.


The class goes on as usual with Kanna not knowing that Near will be sitting next to her.


***********


(If you don't want to tell me then I have to find it myself) Kanna is determined to confirm the truth.


When I got to the back of the school, where I usually was. Someone has come there. The man turned his back to where Kanna was. He looks like he's having lunch.


Looking at that person, Kanna felt that there was something in her heart. Unconsciously Kanna began to move towards him.


"Near.." said Kanna spontaneously seeing the man.


The man was shocked by that voice. He looked towards Kanna. The person who ate was Ardi.


"Ehh.." Kanna was shocked and regained consciousness.


"You have been a long time, I've been waiting for you" said Ardi with a mouth full of food.


"Hehhhh(surprised)...Ardid. Why are you here" asked Kanna confused by Ardi's sudden arrival.


"And we always eat here. Didn't you write that in your daily books" Ardi said, explaining the situation.


Still do not know anything Kanna tried to agree and immediately sat down to eat with Ardi. Kanna smiled because the atmosphere was very different from the class.


But in the midst of Kanna's smile, Kanna seems to have a faint memory of Near. But Kanna still does not remember clearly the face or name Near only partly like the hand and back Near Kanna remembered.


**********


After eating his food. Ardi suddenly asked Kanna.


"Who you called earlier "


"Eh.who" Kanna is confused with maxut Ardi.


"Not that you called me by someone else's name. Who is he." asked Ardi to try to urge Kanna to speak.


But Kanna seemed completely forgotten, the name she said when she called Ardi earlier.


"Hmmm.I don't know if I don't remember myself. I just accidentally said that but somehow yes I move myself "Kanna wonders confused by her own actions.


Trying not to force Kanna, let alone Kanna not long ago out of the hospital. So Ardi wasn't talking about Kanna who mentioned Near.


"Yes already. Maybe I was wrong."


The mood became quiet. Kanna is now the one who started the conversation.


"Have we ever bought a book together or have you ever given me a book "look at Kanna to Ardi.


Surprised to hear that, Ardi was able to calm down. "No, why is it "


Kanna looked Ardi in the eye seriously trying to figure out whether what Ardi said was a lie or not.


"It's okay to just ask" Kanna said, turning her face away.


Kanna sees that Ardi is really serious that Ardi never bought her diary.


(Looks I don't have a new diary. Maybe the writing was also my first fad) said Kanna gave up on finding out about the last writing in the old daily book.


Ardi did not lie, he stated the truth that he never bought Kanna a diary at all. Because the one who bought a new diary was Near, he just drove to buy the book.


Ardi began to realize something when Kanna asked about it.


(Why did Kanna ask that. Is it possible that he lost the diary that Near bought.)
