In accordance with the conversation with the mother in the early hours. That morning after cleaning the items that will be brought. Vara and mother set off on a bus that would take them to the residence of Vara's grandmother who was in the village. On the way, Vara seemed to be silent. Sometimes tears just escaped remembering the events he had to pass through during his life in the city. Maybe this is the best way to leave this city of a million memories, he thought.
Vara remembers her best friend who will definitely be looking for her from last night. Vara quickly revived the phone that had been turned off, sure enough. Lots of incoming message notifications and missed phone calls from his friends. Vara also only replied to a message in a chat group containing him with his friends. After that, he turned his phone back on.
Sorry gais, I went home yesterday. My head hurt a lot yesterday and I got home straight to sleep, so I forgot about you guys. Now that I'm okay, you guys just calm down.
Vara breathed out her heavy breath. He has not been able to say goodbye to his friends. But let it be, for now Vara doesn't want anyone to know where he's going to leave town.
I don't know what else is coming to me. But I hope this is the right way out. Hopefully after this bad thing doesn't come to me anymore, I'm really tired of this. But I must not despair and complain. I have to live a new life in the village with my mother. At least not to continue education. I can help my mom work and spend a lot of time with my mom and grandma. Far from the bitter memories I had in the city.
Mother who saw the depression of Vara was only able to stroke the back of Vara's hand to give peace to her son.
"You go to sleep first Ra. The journey is still far away, when it's almost until I wake up." Vara just smiled faintly and nodded her head in response.

Seconds changed minutes, minutes changed hours, days were fast passing, and it did not feel like almost a month Vara and mother lived with grandmother in the village. After the strange incident, Vara and mother also made a rice stall business like when they lived in the city. And it just so happened that Vara's grandmother's house was on the side of the road in the village, making it easier for them to make a new business there.
Mother's cuisine has no doubt added to the crowd of visitors from time to time. Vara has since begun to forget the sadness he got in the city and start a new life that he believes should be fun.
Staying in the village makes its own peace for Vara. By looking at the green rice fields every day that cools, the crowd of ducks who like to pass by in the streets, like a demo just think.
Sometimes there is a deep yearning with his best friend. But Vara did not think too late. Because from the moment he sent the last message in the group chat, until now Vara was no longer communicating with his best friend. Guilt is always there. Moreover, thinking about his friends must now be looking for his existence. Vara only hopes that one day he can reunite with his best friend with a better life in the future. For now let him harbor a sense of longing that is increasing every day. It doesn't matter, for his own good, either. Think Vara.

Not wanting to think too long, Vara also moved from her bed intending to go to a pharmacy near the market to buy a pregnancy test kit. Immediately Vara snatched the key of the motorcycle and his helmet. When leaving the room, Vara passed her mother who had just come out of the bathroom.
"Where are you going, son?" ask mom wonder. Because not usually Vara will go out of the house in the morning using a motorbike.
"To the pharmacy ma'am, someone wants Vara to buy" replied Vara.
Mother did not suspect her daughter's words just nodded her head in response and did not forget to tell Vara to drive a little carefully.
***
Now Vara is waiting for the results of the three tespacks he just bought. With sweat pouring and body shaking Vara looked at the results of each testpack that signifies the existence of two lines there. Vara's body was limp for a moment, he was sitting on the bathroom floor with tears flooding his two smooth cheeks.
How about this, what should I tell mom. I cannot take away the life that will grow as a result of my own mistakes. I need to get past the obstacles that might come in the future. I must accept this child and will always love her. I'm waiting for your presence in the world, son. Vara's mind while stroking her flat stomach.
