A World Without Seams

73

It had been a few weeks since their last meeting at Rachel's house. Rachel never met Jim again. Honestly, Rachel misses but she's ashamed to say it. He once sent a message to Jim. Just read it and there's no reply. Rachel feels life is unfair, all the men close to her always end up losing.

Rachel remembered the hundreds of messages she had sent to Hans that none of them had been answered. Maybe schools abroad are very busy and mind-boggling. Very much want Rachel to know Hans's activities there or just the news. But all nil.

The same thing happened to Jim. He was tired of fighting alone. When like this, he gave up looking for a mate. Every time they meet, they disappear. Rachel was quite self-aware, repeatedly it was a sign that she had to let go and let it all go. It doesn't have to be fought. Enough just to get here.

Rachel wanted to relax her body and mind. So that afternoon he took Noey to the mall just spend time, pampering himself.

They pamper themselves with the salon. Washing hair, face and body care. When she finished, Rachel's face looked brighter. He smiled happily, and so did Noey.

After from the salon they will stop by one of the places to eat, still in the mall. Rachel's eye caught someone she knew walking up the escalator stairs.

"That's Jim, right?" show Rachel.

"Become brother! Who is he?" ask Noey. It turns out he's with Nae. Rachel finally realized why Jim had lost his news and by seeing what he saw now, Rachel understood. He was nothing to Jim. Only new people look attractive, just that. Rachel was just too hopeful.

"We're eating!" take Rachel.

After eating, they went out and met Jim and were right at the entrance.

"You're here? How are you?" ask Jim with a smile.

"Okay Jim, excuse me... The rush!" rachel said then she pulled Noey's hand to get out of there.

"Brachel! Wait!" jim shouted, who ran after them. Rachel pretended not to hear and she walked quickly while dragging Noey.

"Sister! Summoned!" said Noey who was bored following Rachel's steps.

"Hul...! Waitaminute! Can I talk to you for a second?" ask Jim.

"But I'm in a hurry!" replied Rachel. This time he could no longer suppress his feelings. Of jealousy? Yep... Pissed off? Yep... A miss? Sure oes. But only one-sided. Jim must not have remembered much.

"Just a second! I'll talk to you, just for a second!" pinta Jim's.

"I'm in a hurry Jim!"

"Please Hel!" pinta Jim pulls Rachel away from Nae and Noey.

"What the hell is it! Rant!"

"Hul... Sorry, sick? I'd like to talk to you for a second. Are you angry?" ask Jim.

"Why should I be mad at Jim?" ask Rachel.

"Whatchu mean? who said that?" ask Rachel. Jim just smiled.

"I'm just making sure. And I want to take you for a walk..."

"Hmm I'm busy Jim!" Rachel cuts Jim's conversation while glancing at Nae in the distance. Jim could have taken her for a walk while he was away with Nae. Poor that girl.

"Not now, but what tomorrow?" ask Jim.

"I'm busy Jim, my schedule is full" Rachel declined.

"Yes, I'm not forcing. But if your schedule is empty, let me know. I want to talk a lot while I relax, okay?" ask Jim to make sure. Rachel simply let out a rough breath and turned around. Walk away Jim with hurried steps. He grabs Noey's hand and pulls her away from Nae and Jim.

"What's up, brother?" noey asked in astonishment. Rachel just shook her head slowly. It is difficult to explain his current circumstances and feelings. Jealousy, resentment, longing, so one. If only all this was just a dream, Rachel would easily forget Jim. But this is all the reality that must be experienced.

They immediately got out of the mall, booked a taxi online and went home. Rachel just kept quiet makes Noey confused to start a conversation or just lighten Rachel's burden.

Arriving home, Rachel threw her body on the sofa and closed her eyes. He must learn to accept reality and forget all his dreams with Jim. No longer wishing on the man, no longer hoping that Jim would recover and remember everything. It seemed like enough of his limited struggle was already.

"Sister? Are you ok?" noey asked who was sitting next to him.

"Okay, Noey, I think I'm giving up my relationship with Jim" said Rachel.

"Why brother? But this is you guys are close, just a little more effort Noey think it can,"

"Noey's problem is, you don't have access to Jim's proximity,"

"No less effort, try to open communication again. You guys exchanged mobile numbers. Now the era is good, want to talk or ask news stay type-tap finished," said Noey. Rachel blinked her eyes a few times.

"Yes, but..."

"Prestigious? Gini prestige day, Noey think Jim is also not a follower who must be a man first. The people are open minded for sure" Noey said.

"You don't see if the girl fits Jim, they're compatible,"

"Hmmmh, fight dong!" Noey.

"Huaahhhmmm... Males, dah ah yuk rest aja. Dizziness thinking he's mute" said Rachel. Then he immediately went into the room leaving Noey scratching his head.

Rachel does not want to not struggle, her busyness and Jim's busyness make it difficult to get closer, plus the existence of Nae. The Japanese girl was always near Jim. Where there's Jim there's always him. Should Rachel give up this time?
