Married With My First Love (Travel Story of Lantern Love And Scintillating)
67. I'm back (Lantern )
..."Hello everyone..."...
..."May it be healthy always, and thank you for the support."...
Six more years, Lantern spent time in the Land of People.
Finally Tera can return home, even though the work is not finished, because it will be continued in the branch of the company located in Indonesia.
Early in April, when the cherry blossoms were in bloom, Tera had to leave everything in the Country, leaving behind a season she was so fond of.
...*...
The night before his schedule flew, he decided to meet Seo Jun and apologized properly.
They met at one of the cafes located not far from the Tera office dormitory.
...*...
..."Sorry I'm late..."...
..."It's okay, Lantern..."...
..."Oppa, I'm sorry to meet you here, and maybe I'm interrupting the time..."...
..."Oh no, not at all, because it's the weekend, I don't work."...
..."Well, yes, I'm asking you to meet, because I want to apologize properly..."...
..."Sorry for what, I should apologize for one thing that day made you uncomfortable..."...
..."No, that's not...Emh, I want to apologize for never receiving oppa properly, and instead let oppa hope a lot..."...
..."No problem Tera, I'm happy enough, because you want to be my friend and sister, but I made a mistake..."...
..."Don't think about it, now everything is fine, I just couldn't accept oppa treatment because I was thinking too much about myself."...
..."All right, so besides apologizing, what else?"...
..."Tomorrow the day after tomorrow, I'm back in Indonesia..."...
..."Oh yeah, is your job done?"...
..."Not yet oppa..."...
..."Then..."...
..."I was transferred to a branch of the company that happened to be in my country."...
..."Emh, then you're going home by yourself?"...
..."Yes oppa..."...
..."Your friend?"...
..."Who?"...
..."Kim..."...
..."He's gonna stay here longer, because he's got a job that requires him to work for five years."...
..."Oh yes, lucky for him, because usually, many foreign students who instead choose to return to their home country after graduation."...
..."Including me, right?"...
..."Hahaha, that's right."...
..."Maybe it's because I'm too stupid, hoping someone will be waiting for me there, even though I don't know anything about him right now."...
..."You're not stupid, you're just hoping for something uncertain."...
..."That's called stupid, right."...
..."Naive..."...
..."It's the same,oppa..."...
..."Can't you accept me because of the person you left behind."...
..."Sorry oppa."...
..."No need to apologize for that, but apologize for ignoring all my messages and calls."...
..."I'm sorry for everything oppa..."...
..."Hahaha, I'm joking Tera, I should be the one apologizing for burdening you with my feelings."...
..."Oppa..."...
..."You're a good girl, I can see from the look in your eyes, if only you didn't have a past with someone else, I'm sure you'd be able to accept me..."...
..."Oppa, you can..."...
..."Hahaha, joking, now please eat your food, before they all get colder, just like your attitude..."...
..."Oi...I'm not kidding anymore..."...
..."Hahaha, sorry, then let's eat first..."...
..."Yes oppa..."...
They enjoyed their last dinner together.
Tera actually feels guilty for Seo Jun, because all this time often makes the man hassles for helping him.
After trying to hold back, Tera's tears finally trickled down as well, in front of Seo Jun.
..."Hey...What's up, don't you like the food?"...
..."I like..."...
..."Then what's with your watery eyes?"...
..."The food is spicy, because I can't eat too spicy, my tears come out." Tera answered while trying to laugh....
..."Can you still laugh when you lie?"...
..."Aaihh, but I'm not lying..."...
..."Looks like you're really stupid..."...
..."Oppaa..."...
..."If you are sad, please do not try to laugh, crying is natural to express your frustration, I know you feel guilty, no matter what, but refraining from all suffering is also wrong."...
..."Again I'm sorry oppa..."...
..."I don't feel like you have anything wrong, I won't hate you, I hope that after you come back, you can rediscover your happiness again."...
..."Oppa too, hopefully can find a better woman here, and can receive oppa well too"...
..."Thank you, Lantern."...
..."Thanks again, Kim Seo Jun oppa..."...
..."Oh yeah, I'll drive you to the airport, please don't refuse..."...
..."Well oppa..."...
..."It's almost late at night, come home and rest well..."...
..."Good oppa, I'll pay first."...
..."Hey, let me just..."...
..."Oppa, this time I have to pay for everything, because all this time I've been a lot of trouble."...
..."Okay okay..."...
..."Oppa, I'll go home first, I'll send a message tomorrow."...
..."Okay..be careful.."...
..."Hemph..."...
...*...
Tera comes out of the cafe and leaves Seo Jun looking at her from the side of the road...
Finally Tera can feel relieved because one problem here is finished.
He just wanted to return home without harboring a sense of regret that might not end, if today he did not meet Seo Jun, the person who had always been looking after and helping him.
Now, he just hopes, all his problems and feelings will return to how they were when he came home later.
"Will it be that easy..." He thought all the way home.
...*...
After arriving at his room, he tidied up his clothes, this room was the third room he had occupied for six years here.
Now everything seemed to pass quickly, although at the beginning he felt everything was going slowly.
There was a sense of doubt that came to him, every time remembering all the memories he had left, whether he could go back to repeat everything, whether he would be re-accepted by Gilang, would the Gilang family accept his return, would the Gilang family accept his return,is everything going to go well when he gets back there, or is it just getting worse.
..."Argh..I used to want to go home quickly, now I'm even afraid to go back..."...
..."Mas Gilang..please excuse me..."...
Tera muttered while sitting on her study desk.
Looking at the now almost empty room.
All the items that he thought were not important enough, would be thrown away before he left the small room.
For six years in this advanced and all-advanced country, he had never even set foot into a luxury apartment like other students.
It's not that he doesn't want to, but he's self-aware, being here is enough for him.
..."It would be a great pleasure to be back in this country with someone I like..." He thought while looking at a photo of himself while enjoying the beauty of cherry blossoms....
And make his longing for Gilang even more disturbing, when he accidentally found a photo of the two of them who fell out of the dictionary of foreign language his long time not used.
They were in a photobox a few years ago.
They were so young back then, and had not yet understood the bitterness of separation.
Tera soaked the old photo with her tears.
..."I'll be back, but why does it feel so crowded..."...
...❤️❤️❤️...
..."Pray can always be Up on time and incubated the same yes..."...
