My Love Is Stupid's

Chapter 29's

Niko runs into her class and tries to find Fara. He really should apologize to Fara.

"You seen Fara?" ask her friend who is sitting in class. Friend shakes.

Niko continues her search to the school park, canteen, and lastly the hall. The third-graders were already sitting there. The teachers had gathered to begin the graduation ceremony.

Mr. Bambang saw Niko. "You've prepared your speech? The graduation ceremony will begin."

Niko could only fall silent and look at the hall room which was already filled with the parents of the disciples and their sons.

My mom and dad sat down too. Papa calls Niko to sit next to him.

"Sit down next to your parents" said Mr. Bambang. "Surely you won't have a problem with your speech."

Having no other choice, Niko sat next to her parents and attended the graduation ceremony for the next two hours. He realized Fara was not in the hall.

After the graduation ceremony was over, Niko asked Mr. Bambang about Fara.

"Sir," he said curiously, "why isn't Fara attending today's graduation?"

"Oh, Fara," replied Mr. Bambang. "Yesterday he asked for his diploma early. He's moving to another city. His mother was transferred."

Niko was obviously disappointed to hear the news. "Do you know where Fara is going?

Mr. Bambang shook his head. "Father doesn't know, but it looks like they're leaving today.

Maybe they're at the airport now."

Without saying a word more, Niko galloped towards the car park, leaving Bambang sir who frowned in confusion with Niko's attitude.

Niko drove her car as fast as she could to the airport. He tried to contact HP Fara from his car, but was always inactive. Niko tried again, again, and again until she saw the airport entrance and parked her car in the parking lot, then ran as fast as possible into the airport.

His eyes went around Mancari Fara. He looked at the flight departure schedule. There are dozens of departures there. He didn't know which plane Fara was going to be on.

"FARAH!" he cried out in despair amidst the crowd.

"What's wrong?" ask mama.

Fara shook her head while smiling. "It's okay. Looks like someone called me. But that's not possible, is it?"

Mom smiled. "Let's go in."

Fara nodded and walked in.

Moments later, the plane carrying Fara took off. Fara looked at the sea of clouds below her and smiled. He has decided to forget his past and start a new chapter.

Niko ran for several hours from one terminal to another, but still did not find Fara. His legs were exhausted and he sat on a chair. Niko realizes Fara must have been on one of the planes that took off. He lost Fara. Suddenly his phone rang. Niko saw an unknown number there. Hope is soaring. He immediately picked up the phone.

"FARA?" expectantly.

But the voice on the phone is not a woman's voice. "Is this Niko Fareli?"

Niko answered. "Yes, right. I'm Niko fareli."

The caller said again, "My name is Julien Bardeux. Do you know who I am?"

Niko. "I know who you are. But, why did you call me?" "I'm looking at a picture of your jewelry design" Julien said.

("Image of my plan?) niko asked, confused. "How can my drawing be in your hands?"

"Can we meet?" ask Julien. "We can talk about this further." then Julien gave information about the hotel where he was staying.

Niko nodded. "I know the place. I'll be there now."
