Hi Love Come Back
chapter 50. I will be here
Today, extinction was Tom's dream. The girl he had loved and admired all this time, already belonged to someone else.
Tom felt all his hard work was in vain. He seemed to have lost hope.
Tom, the iceberg, is now sitting on the floor leaning against the bed. She was crying like a child. His chest was very tight, his heart was very sick.
The thing he had been afraid of happened all this time.
His phone is still on the bed. There's a text message from Lazo..
"Tom... Sally is engaged today. I hope you are strong. I'm sorry I'm not around you right now."
Above the text message from Lazo is another text message.
"Tom, are you still angry? Next week you can go back to the hamlet?" the message was from Sally.
Not a single reply was sent to Sally.

I am currently in my room. I looked at my photos with my friends while we were camping at school. There were me, Mena, Kela, and Tom.
Everyone laughed cheerfully. Never thought it would be like this.
"Tom.. how are you?" I said as I looked at Tom on the photo of the four of us.
All of Tom's kindness to me. He was always there when I needed help. In fact, Mena or Kela sometimes absent, but not with Tom.
He was like a Guardian Angel to me. Tom always made sure I was safe and well.
Honestly, in my heart, I'm worried about Tom. Ever since that phone conversation, until this very second. There was never any news from him.
He was always mysterious. I can only hope he's okay.
Tears were pouring down my cheeks. I feel like I lost a part of myself. It hurts more than when I lost Chris.

"Tom, will you always be like this? Will you always be with me?" I asked Tom when I was feeling so sad.
"Yes Sally, I will always be with you. Whenever you want, you can call me." she replied.
"Thank you Tom. hyks hyks.." I cried behind his back.
We sat side by side. Tom is on my left. It's just me and Tom.
I was very sad, because I felt that all my struggles were in vain. I've been studying for weeks for a top-level school student race in town.
Tom was supposed to be in the race too. But, he's here. He canceled his participation, and chose to accompany me who was very disappointed.
He grabbed my head, then placed it on his chest. I cried out there. Tom kept trying to convince me that it wasn't the end of everything.
His words and presence made me excited again. I will continue to pursue my dreams. It doesn't matter how many times you have to wake up to get there.
As long as it is not cheating and accompanied by hard work also prayer. I'm sure I can

I don't know why this moment is different like before.
When Tom first disappeared, I was sure our friendship would be restored again. It was proven on the last holiday.
But right now, my faith is breaking. I don't want to lose my friendship with him. His existence is like a habit for me.
"Tom.." That's the only message I sent to Tom.
No. There was never an answer from him.

Today Dean and I are going back to Hope. Then it will go to the city of Contento.
Our plan, will be to hold a wedding in the city of Contento in 2 months.
Dean and I say goodbye to our family, relatives and friends.
"Dean, please take care of Sally for us. Never hurt him. Or you will face us!" threaten Mena to Dean.
"I love this girl so much Mena" replied Dean as he stroked my head.
"Don't hurt her, just for a moment to part with her I won't. I want to always be with him." continued Dean, looking at me with his beautiful gaze.
I got down to make it. A gentle yet sharp look pierced through my heart. The sincere and warm look was typical of Dean.
The car that took me and Dean passed by left our hamlet. The hamlet with our million stories.
