Only Your Shadow

Farewell

The astonished dew heard Raka's words could only remain silent and her gaze was blank. Raka who saw the Dew silently shook - shook her shoulders. Before long the Dew awakened, and looked at Raka with a sad look.

"Why so sudden?" Ask Dew. She lowered her face so that Raka would not see her sadness.

"Grandfather told me to leave after the graduation announcement. All the preparation for college was done as well, and I happened to be accepted into the best university there." Clearly Raka continued to stare at the Dew.

"Are you unable to resist your grandfather's wishes?" Dew asked softly, she tried to restrain herself from crying.

"Sorry." That's the only word that came out of Raka's mouth. He looks like he's clenching his hands.

Dew rubbed his slightly wet eyes with the back of his hand. He looked at Raka and showed her a smile.

"You heart - heart there, success yes. Don't forget friends here." Dew stretched out his hand, he tried to look stiff.

Raka stared at Dewun's hand for quite a while. Raka welcomed Dewun's hand with trembling hands. Dew smiled and would relinquish his post. But unexpectedly, Raka pulled Dew into her arms. At first Dew attempted to release Raka's embrace, but Dewun felt Raka's body tremble. For the first time, Dewun saw Raka cry.

With a slight hesitation, Dew returned Raka's embrace. Patting Raka's back slowly. He hoped that it could give a bit of strength to Raka.

"That must be hard for you. Sorry I was selfish. You know Ka..You're great at making big decisions about your future."

Raka let go of her embrace and looked at the sticky Dew. He looked tired and sad on his face.

"Sorry."

"How many times do you apologize. Lebaran is still a long time." Dew Canda.

Raka smiled and scrambled - a random Dew hair. Dew took the tissue from the bag and handed it to Raka.

"Lap tuh snot you. Cook going to England even snot." Gurau Dew.

Raka cleaned her face and returned the tissue to the Dew.

"That's so dirty." The dew threw the tissue, while Raka just laughed.

"I was there for 4 years. Don't change numbers, I'll call you often."

The dew nodded his head and smiled. The dew pulls Raka's hand and links her little finger to Raka's little finger. Raka looked at her finger and smiled, then they fixed each thumb.

"Well." Right." They said it and it made them laugh together.

"I'll go first." Dew nodded. After that Raka left Dewun and walked into the car.

The car that Raka was riding in walked out of the school yard. Dew could only stare at the car until it was invisible. The dew exhaled and turned around, A stunned Dew looked at Brian in front of him. Brian who saw all the events earlier, looked at Dew with a difficult gaze to interpret. Dew lowered his head and walked past Brian, but his steps stopped because he heard the words Brian said.

"Why don't you express your feelings?"

"Make what? That won't change anything." The dust turned to face Brian. Brian saw sadness in the eyes of Dew.

"But at least Raka can know how you feel all along. You don't want to regret it?"

"If Raka knew how I felt, would she cancel her matchmaking and study abroad? No.. No, does he have the same feeling?" Ask Dew.

"Maybe it.." Not finished Brian replied, Dew has continued the word - he said.

"Maybe?"

"I don't want to hope with the word maybe Bri, nor do I want to break the hearts and hopes of many. You know what I mean?" Dew Light.

"But are you happy with all this?"

"Brian.. Do you really like me?" This Dew question certainly surprised Brian. But he without hesitation answered that question.

"Of course, do you still doubt it?" Ask Brian back.

The Dew looked at Brian and smiled meaningfully. Brian was of course confused by Dewun.

"Then why do you support me to make my feelings real with Raka. Not that it would even harm you if Raka accepted my feelings."

"Of course it will hurt me, even I will be greatly harmed. I'm not a hypocrite, if I'm glad Raka left. But on the other hand I also don't want to see you sad continue, I want to see you happy. Would you be happy to see someone you love happy?" Ask Brian.

Dew approached Brian and patted Brian on the forehead with his palm.

Brian fell silent and pondered over the words Dewun.

"Get in yuk, my friends must have been waiting." The dew walked away from Brian.

"DEW.. "

Dew turned his head because he heard Brian's screams calling his name.

"I will not give up, I will make you happy so I will also be happy." Dew smiled and nodded, he felt a sense of sincerity and there was no doubt in the words.

Graduation day arrived, all 3rd graders entered and sat on the seats in the hall building. Dew wears a light purple color kebaya and with minimalist makeup, but even so the Dew looks beautiful and graceful. He never stopped smiling at his friends.

After a series of events, the graduation event was finally over. Raka who got the best value in the national test, only represented by her father when receiving the award. While the Dew is satisfied to pass even with the right value - pasan.

Dew was taking pictures with his friends when Brian came to approach him. Brian gives a bouquet of flowers and a large minion doll to the Dew. The dew received the gift with great difficulty due to the large size of the doll and almost covered her body.

"Is there nothing bigger?" Dew Sarcas.

"When - when I bring it." Answer Brian casually. The dew throttled his lips towards the insensitive Brian.

At that moment we saw Dewun's parents approaching. They smiled looking at the Dew who seemed to have difficulty holding a bouquet and a large doll.

"Grab, who's that doll from? Why is it so small?" Goda bu Lastri's. Dew pouted and pointed at Brian with his chin. While Brian smiled and greeted the parents.

"So this is dad's future daughter-in-law?" Said Mr. Ardi. Dew elbowed his father's arm and glared at him.

"Don't hear my father's words yes, he likes to joke." Smiling dust stiff.

"Greetings to you, I'm Brian." Brian introduced himself.

"Don't call me dong, just call me father-in-law." Tempta pak Ardi's. The words of his father, successfully made the Dew die of fleas.

Brian, who knew he was being teased by his father, just smiled. He just found out that the Dewun family is close to each other not like his family is a mess. Brian felt the warmth of the Dew family. Brian came to his senses when Mr. Ardi patted him on the shoulder.

"We're going to eat at a restaurant celebrating Dew graduation, want Brian to come too?" Ask Mr. Ardi.

Brian actually wanted to come along, but he paused because he saw a person in a black suit who kept paying attention to him.

"Sorry, I can't seem to. I have another show."

"Oh yeah, we go first." Mr. Ardi and his wife left Brian. The dew will catch up with both of his parents when his hand is held by Brian.

"What's wrong?" Ask Dew.

For a moment Brian was silent. Not long after he let go of Dew's hand.

"What's wrongwhat. Go there, I'll call." Said Brian. Dew smiled and left Brian to catch up with his parents.

After the Dew left, Brian's face turned flat and cold. He walked up to the man in the black suit earlier and got into the car.
