My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 25's

Fara shakes. "No need, ma. I'll go with mom tomorrow."

"Are you sure?" ask mama to doubt. "You didn't attend your graduation?" Fara looked at my mom for sure. "I'm sure."

Mama knew her daughter had just broken her heart last night. "Well, mama's gonna call your homeroom teacher to give up your diploma first."

Fara nodded in agreement. He took his bag from the room after breakfast. The chocolate envelope containing the picture of Niko is still there. He took it too and came out of the room.

At school, the news about the fall of Erika from the stairs became news. As Fara entered the school environment, all eyes looked at her scornfully. Fara doesn't care about any of that. It's his last day of school.

As Fara entered the 3rd grade of IPA 1, everything fell silent. Fara sat in her chair without looking at anyone. The classroom guardian distributed the yearbook to the students. Afterwards, the students were busy exchanging yearbooks for one another to sign.

Fara used the time to get out of class and surround the school environment. He saw his former class, the ordinance room, the school hall, the basketball court, and the last school garden. He wants to remember everything.

After that he returned to his classroom which was deserted. He saw Niko's yearbook on his desk. Niko did not come in this morning. According to Fara, Niko did not enter because she was accompanying Erika in the hospital.

He opens Niko's yearbook and arrives at IPA 3rd grader 1. He saw Niko's smiling face ("I'll remember you like this, '") said Fara.

Fara took a deep breath. Opens the last page of Niko's yearbook, then begins writing.

 

(I like you).

 

Even so, Fara realized one thing. Until the end of the day, he still could not express his feelings to Niko directly.

Fara stood up and was about to return Niko's drawing on her desk when she felt someone was entering the classroom. Fara turned around to see who was walking behind her. Apparently Niko.

Both looked without speaking.

But Fara finally ventured to ask. " How's Erika doing?"

At first, Niko refused to answer. "He can't walk for a week."

Fara really felt guilty. "I'm really sorry. Please convey my apology to Erika."

Niko looked straight at Fara. "Take my question this one. Is it true that you pushed Erika off the stairs?"

Fara's heart ached hearing the question. Because he knew the answer would make Niko hate him forever. But he knew he still had to say it.

"Yes," Laura replied as she hugged a picture of Niko on her chest. "pardon me."

Niko looks sad. "I thought you were different.. Why? Why are you pushing Erika?"

Fara was eager to explain to Niko that it was all a coincidence that started when Erika seized her HP. But Fara realized there was no point in him explaining it all. He does not want to destroy Niko and Erika's relationship. He won't see Niko again after today.

"I'm sorry" Fara replied later. "I can't explain it."

Niko looked at Fara again carefully. "Can't or won't?"

"Both," replied Fara slowly. "At first everything means nothing. Now I want to ask you. Who are you gonna trust? The girl you've known since childhood or the girl you've only known for a year?"
