Chapter 1

never run away from your problems, if you don't want your life to be haunted by yours

Los Angeles, September

"The next day we will move to Indonesia. Daddy's gonna take care of your transfer tomorrow." Kenan said casually and then went to the room but made a girl in front of him cry bated.

The girl lowered her head and squeezed the end of her knee-length pants to hold back her cries from breaking.

The middle-aged woman approached the girl and sat down beside her.

"Caitlin's? Daddy and Mommy decided to move to Indonesia because we will take care of our family company in Indonesia" explained Diana while stroking the child's shoulder, Caitlin

"Okay, Mom"

"Mommy knows what you're thinking right now. Don't always avoid your problems. You must try to solve it, dear. I trust you, you can do it." said Diana ended a gentle kiss at the top of Caitlin's head and went to the room following Kenan.

"I'll try, Mom. Thank You" he muttered to himself because Diana, his Mommy had already left him to the room.

A girl is still asleep in her sleep, ignoring the sound of the clock that has been clinking continuously since then. The girl was disturbed by the sound, took her clock in the nightstand and threw it on the sofa near the door. Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door of his room.

Geck... Geck... Geck...

"Caitlin's? It's noon you don't want school ? Come quickly wake up later you're late." a soft voice he knew so well shouted at him from behind the door.

"Yes, Mom." she replied lazily and then headed to the bathroom to clean herself up.

Today is her last day at Los Angeles High School, one of the city's favorite schools. Before Caitlin moved to Indonesia and continued her studies in Jakarta.

"You didn't have breakfast?" asked Diana who had just finished her breakfast.

Diana shook her head "No, Mom. I'll be late"

"But drink the milk first!" pinta Anna before letting her go. And Caitlin just nodded in agreement.

After bidding farewell to his parents, Caitlin immediately left for school to be escorted by her personal driver. On the way, he just stared at the streets he passed every day.

I'm gonna miss this city. Los Angeles.

Los Angeles, September

A girl was sitting on a long bench in the park staring blankly at the yellowing and falling leaves. Letting a wisp of cold air caress his entire body. Behind the tree one notices it like one does not want to turn away for even a second. From his gaze was a deep sense of longing.

The girl remained in her position, not moving in the slightest. The girl was still struggling with her thoughts. Remembering everything that happened in his life. Misunderstanding has kept him from being shunned by those he cares most about. Unwittingly, the hot liquid began to wet her smooth chubby cheeks. Quickly someone hands a handkerchief to the girl. The girl raised her head to look at the man. However, his face was invisible because it was covered in a mask.

"Thank's" said the girl in a voice that began to hoarse. But, the men just left without speaking a word to the girl.

Weirdo? Who is that guy? Ask in the heart.

Drrt... Drrt... Drrt...

Her iPhone shook and displayed a call from her mother.

"Hallo, mom"

"Caitlin's? Where are you now?"

"My friend's house, mom"

"Go home now. Mommy waiting you "

"Ok, mom"

Caitlin wiped her tears with the handkerchief that the mysterious man had given her. He wanted to find out about the man, but he knew his time in this city was only a few hours away. Then, leave that place.

Arriving home, Caitlin immediately went into her room and immediately tidied up her things and put them in her sky blue suitcase. His gaze was fixed on a black box with a blue ribbon on it. Caitlin took the box, and held it tightly and opened it slowly. Her eyelids felt full and the hot liquid in her eyes forced it to slide down her smooth chubby cheeks. He held the items in the box one by one. First, a CD tape outside of which says "To: Joshua". And two bracelets with the giver of the box were accompanied by a letter tied to each bracelet.

It flashed in his mind about the request of someone he had not realized until now that made him resist the power of holding back his tears. The hot liquid started to wet his face again. His chest felt tight as he realized he had failed to fulfill someone's request. Because the reality is not on his side and does not give him the slightest chance.

"I'm sorry, ka" he said, which sounded like a whisper. His cries grew increasingly uncontrollable so that a loud enough sobbing sounded filled his room.

"Sorry hiks ka hiks. Caitlin hiks kangen sama hiks kaka"

Suddenly a middle-aged woman called her name from behind the door.

"Hooks?"

"Hooks?"

"You're in the bedroom, right?"

Not hearing the answer from her son, the woman immediately pressed the doorknob and entered Caitlin's room. Chequek.

"Hm"

"Oh, okay. You must be tired. Then take a break and Mommy will wake up" he added, then leave Caitlin's room.

He got up from his position and took the box and put it in his suitcase.

Jakarta I'm coming

He closed his eyes and fell asleep.

"Haha... Mampus lo" ledek a student who sat behind Evan.

"Kok lo ngeselin anyway?" ketus Evan's.

"Bodo" the student sneered as he stuck out his tongue.

Just now Evan wanted to reply, suddenly someone's speech made him have to undo his intentions.

"Kevin, Evan, can't you guys?" the man sitting next to Kevin.

"Okay, handsome Davin, we're diem." they answered simultaneously making Davin shake his head in wonder at their behavior.

Joshua sat on the edge of the indoor basketball court and reached into his pants pocket to retrieve his iPhone. He intends to ask the truth about his family's move to Jakarta to his brother, Alan. However, he did not want to seem to care about his family. Then he opened and read an article that contained the latest news about his family as said by Evan the king of gossip and his best friend.

It turns out that they will be back soon

"You should be happy they're back and you can stay together. But why do you look upset? At least you can give him a chance to reveal the real events when he returns. So that the relationship between you and him is a bit better" he said, putting himself next to Joshua.

"It's not that easy, Liv" Joshua turned to Olivia.

"Well, I know. But what's wrong with trying." Olivia assures the men who are beside her.

🌿🌿🌿

The clock on the wall has shown at 23:00, indicating a man in a white suit who is cleaning medical devices in his room to go home.

Arriving at home, the man immediately walked towards his room regardless of the sound of shouting calling his name from the living room.

"Sir Alan?"

"Oi, brother? Just home?"

Who else if not his friends Joshua who always make fun wherever they are.

"Josh, I can't wait to see your little brother who's been so upset by that storm. It must be very beautiful original" said Evan made all eyes on him.

"What the hell is Lo, Van, Van? Mending if he wants to see your face, if not?" ledek Kevin's. Davin and Joshua just smiled obliquely at the behavior of the two friends.

"Eh don't get me wrong gini my twin LEONARDO DICAPRIO. Many know that I look like him." said Evan who managed to make his third laugh broke.

"Bhaakkkp.. Similar where is it from? There are many who look like Leo. Hahah" ledek Kevin again.

"It hurts. Ade's heart, bang. Thats enough. Brother dumped me like this, can't take it anymore, bang. Enough is enough" said Evan dramatizing make people around amused to hear it.

"Dwelling. Mit amit, ogah I became brother lo, which I saw every day. Far away sono" Kevin shook his hands as if to throw out Evan who was now looking at him flirtatiously.

"Night, don't be noisy!" a baritone came from the stairs. Make them pause and look at the source of the sound.

"Udah night? What time is it?" Ask Kevin. Davin and Evan put their shoulders together to care.

"Hour half-one" Joshua replied briefly.

"WHATAAA?" kevin shouted with wide eyes. "Sstttt" rebuked the three friends together while sticking their index fingers to Kevin's lips.

"Udah night, I have to go back. Not to be late tomorrow. Later I will have the law nyokap again" he said making his three friends hold a laugh so as not to break and cause a noise.

"Tomorrow Saturday, Vin" Davin opened his voice in a relaxed manner even though he was trying to hold back his laughter.

"Oh, jeez. I'm forget. Hiiii" said Kevin while scratching his head that did not itch at all.
