Alice went into class.
As usual, some of the students who were already inside the classroom stared at him cynically.
"Have you heard that Rayn's moving abroad?"
one of Alice's classmates said.
"really?
Why so suddenly?"
"It looks like his parents are going to run a business there."
"Yes, I know Rayn's parents did run a business overseas."
"I was really curious how Alice would be after Rayn left her.
You know for yourself that Rayn's been protecting him from all the students at school."
"Surely he will suffer so much later.
I feel a little sorry for him."
he said with a mocking tone.
Alice ignored them when she heard her name.
He remained focused on the textbook before him.
Suddenly Rayn came and then approached her.
All the students who were in the classroom, including Alice, were shocked by Rayn's arrival.
"I want to talk to you Alice."
Alice remained silent in her place.
Rayn then pulls his hand and takes him out of the classroom.
Rayn and Alice are currently on the top floor of the school building.
They stood side by side with their eyes looking straight ahead.
A few moments later, Rayn opened her voice.
"My father still did not change Alice's decision.
He has even accelerated our departure abroad.
My father also told the school.
We'll leave the day after."
The feeling of sadness enveloped Alice's heart.
I think he wants to cry right now.
But he tried to control himself.
After all it was the best decision for the Rayn family.
He can't interfere.
Alice then faced Rayn and put a smile on her lips.
"Alright Rayn.
I'm glad to hear it."
Rayn then approached Alice.
"Alice, I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize Rayn.
You didn't do anything wrong.
Why are you apologizing?"
"I left you here alone.
I left you with the bad guys."
Alice smiled.
"I'm not alone Rayn.
I still have my family here."
"I promise I'll come back."
"And I'll wait for that moment to come.
We're not going to break up communication either, are we?
We can still relate even with Rayn's long distance.
As long as you still want to receive a call or message from me."
"I want Alice.
I'll never miss a call or a message from you."
"You and I will forever remain friends with Rayn.
I don't want to worry about losing you."
Rayn smiled.
"Hem, I'll never forget you either Alice."
Rayn and Alice smiled at each other.
Rayn then took a step forward and then hugged Alice's body.
"I'm begging you to let me know whenever you have Alice's problem.
I'm always ready to listen to you.
If need be I'll send someone to keep you here."
"I'll tell you my every problem Rayn.
But you don't have to send someone."
"Well, I'm not gonna do it Alice.
Alice smiled in Rayn's arms.
--
Alice comes out of her room and accidentally meets Kate who just got home from work.
"Alice, I heard Rayn's moving overseas.
Is that true?"
"Yes Brother. Rayn's parents want to run their business there."
"So, I was sad to hear Alice.
Rayn is a good man.
He always looked after you and protected you at school.
Rayn means a lot to you, right?"
Alice nodded her head.
"Rayn is my best friend.
Actually I don't want Rayn to leave.
But I can't do anything either.
It was also Rayn's decision.
Both Rayn's parents know better what's best for her."
"You're right Alice.
I'm sure Rayn will never forget you.
Although it may be far away, it will always tell you from there.
You don't have to worry about Alice."
Alice smiled and then nodded.
"I won't worry, Brother."
--
The next day, Rayn says goodbye to her friends at school.
After school, Rayn and Alice plan to go for a walk to spend time together before Rayn's departure the next day.
Alice and Rayn walk towards the parking lot.
Behind them, Monica and Michelle looked at them with dislike gazes.
"Look at Alice.
Now maybe you can have some fun.
But soon, that smile on your face will disappear and turn into a cry."
monica said with a warning tone.
His sadness at Rayn's departure makes him hate Alice even more.
He felt the hope he had so far to be with Rayn while in Indonesia just vanished because of Alice.
All this time he tried to make Rayn like him.
But instead, Rayn hated him so much because of Alice.
And now, the man's last moments in Indonesia instead went with Alice instead of her.
Alice was the cause of her suffering.
Michelle smiled at the anger clearly drawn on Monica's face.
Monica will take revenge on Alice.
"That's good", he thought.
Rayn took Alice to one of the tourist attractions.
"Do you like this place Alice?"
"Hem, I like Rayn."
Rayn smiled.
"Thank God you like it.
Oh yeah I bought this."
Rayn gives the plastic containing snacks to Alice.
"Thank you Rayn."
"What if we go in there?"
Rayn pointed to a crowded place of visitors.
"Hem, it looks like it's fun there.
Let's go there, Rayn."
Rayn and Alice surrounded one by one part of the tourist attractions they visited.
His face both looked radiant.
Rayn and Alice enjoyed their trip.
After finishing the walk, Rayn and Alice went to their favorite eatery.
The place they always visit every time they finish their school exams.
The food they had ordered was finally on the table.
Rayn and Alice begin to enjoy the food on their plates.
"I'm definitely going to miss times like this later Alice.
Food like this I won't be able to find there either."
"And I'll feel the same way as Rayn."
"My mind won't calm down there either.
I think about you all day.
I'm worried about you Alice."
Both of them instantly became silent.
Sadness returns to Rayn and Alice.
"Rayn, stop.
You don't have to worry about me.
You know I'm a strong girl?
I've been through a lot since Rayn's childhood."
"Yes I know you're Alice's strong girl.
It's just that I'm still worried about the people who are bad to you."
"It's very difficult to stop their bad deeds Rayn.
All I can do is be patient and endure even the worst.
And I made sure to you that I could face it all."
Alice smiled cheerfully.
He tries to convince Rayn that he will be okay.
He didn't want Rayn to worry about him.
"Hem." Rayn smiled faintly.
--
It's already night time.
Rayn's time to take Alice home.
"Thank you for taking me home from Rayn."
"I should've taken you home Alice.
No need to thank me."
Alice chuckled at Rayn's words.
"alright.
Be careful on the road.
And remember, there's no need to speed."
alice said with a warning tone.
"Yes I know Alice.
You always remind me of that."
Rayn and Alice laughed.
Suddenly the situation instantly became silent, considering that tomorrow Rayn would go far.
"Rayn, tomorrow I'll be on time."
Alice acted as if she was sincere about Rayn's departure.
"Hem, I'll be waiting for you at Alice's airport."
"Not until there is something left."
said Alice.
"Hem."
"All right, it's night.
You need to go home, Rayn."
Rayn smiled and then nodded.
He turned his body and intended to leave.
After a few steps, his feet stopped.
Rayn comes back to Alice and hugs her.
"If I can stop time, I want to stop it right now.
I want to be with you even longer Alice."
Alice smiled in Rayn's arms.
"We won't be able to separate just because of Rayn's distance.
I will always be there for you.
And vice versa."
Rayn let go of his embrace.
"Here we are, we cannot be sad like this.
You should also get home Rayn.
Tomorrow you're leaving.
Your parents must be waiting for you."
"All right, I'm going home Alice.
Take care of yourself."
Alice smiled and then nodded.
Rayn then got on her bike and got out of the yard.
Alice was still standing in her place, staring at Rayn's departure.
He wiped his tears and then went into the house.
