Behind All Changes

Chapter 51

Lidya sat on the bed. He glanced at the bag and picture frame he had brought earlier.

There was a sense of tightness in his heart. She felt she would cry but tears and sobbing sounds did not come out of her eyes or mouth.

She wanted to cry because of the photo. In the photo, her mother married another man. Negative thinking approached him.

Is her mother cheating? Did his mother betray his father? Is that why his father doesn't like him? Because her mother cheated on her? Is her mother that woman? The woman who cared for and gave him affection, was that woman the same woman he had in mind?

That thought haunts Lidya.

Lunch will be done in 10 minutes. It is expected that all the students will go to the dining table immediately.

There was the sound of an announcement that managed to disperse Lidya's daydream.

Lidya picks up her phone and finds a message from Kelvin's number. Lidya opened the photo message.

That photo is the result of the race. Lidya and Kelvin are at number 5. It is written that the values of Lidya and Kelvin are combined to make them at number 5.

After that Lidya put her phone back. Lidya stood up and prepared to participate in the lunch.

***

Arriving at the dining table, Lidya saw many empty chairs. Some participants who failed may choose to return. There are now many uninhabited chairs. At the end of the table, sat a female supervisor. Dae Ryung was nowhere to be seen that afternoon.

"Please sit down, we'll start lunch today" she said.

"Prevote my name Astrida. You can call me Rida's sister" said the woman.

"Okay, sister" replied some of the students who had come.

"Let's pray according to each other's religion before starting this lunch event" said Kak Rida.

"Prayer begins,"

All the students and Rida began to pray.

"Pray is over,"

They began to eat the lunch in silence.

Some other students seemed to reply to Kak Rida's words. But Lidya did not notice that. He is busy with his own mind.

After Rida left the dining table. Almost all of the students also left the table.

"Hay," said a student who approached Lidya.

But Lidya was too late in her mind.

"Hay" said the man, waving his hand before Lidya.

Lidya regained her senses and glanced at the person.

"Hay, can I contact you?" Ask the girl.

Lidya nodded.

"My name is Quin" said Quin, extending his hand.

"Lidya" said Lidya, replying to the girl's hand.

After a few seconds Lidya immediately pulled back her hand.

"From which college?" Ask Quin.

"University x" Lidya replied.

"Well, you're so lucky. Going to college was my dream since I was a kid. But because of the economic problems, I can't" Quin said, looking sad.

Lidya nodded in understanding then stood up from the chair and walked away from Quin.

"Hey, wait a minute. Where are you going?" Ask Quin.

"Room," Lidya answered briefly.

"All right, I'll see you tonight. I'll wait for you" said the girl, waving her hand.
