Sweet Love Friend

Days Without Keil

(For those who are confused by the plot, after yesterday's episode, directly back again to the initial 3 episodes. Now we are continuing from the initial 3 episodes.)

That is the end of Keil and Athi. Athi just realized, that he really likes Keil. His heart was already very broken, because Keil was leaving, when Athi had already expressed his feelings.

The farewell incident with Keil at the airport yesterday, making Athi unable to escape from Keil. He kept thinking about Keil, without being able to stop thinking about him.

His knee still hurt a lot, but his heart hurt more than the wound on his knee. Athi could do nothing more.

Like something was missing from his life.

The days of Athi were very lonely, without Keil. Unexpectedly, yesterday's vacation was her last vacation with Keil.

Athi looked at his phone, and kept checking the incoming messages on his phone.

Nahas, since Keil's departure at that time, Athi had no news from Keil at all.

Athi looked at his phone very gently, because he could not contact Keil first. The message he sent the night of his departure, still seems to tick one. That indicates that Keil did not open his phone at all.

‘Keil, why didn't he call me? Has he gotten there yet? Is he safe, and there are no obstacles while on his journey?’ inner Athi, who was very worried about Keil's state.

Athi curled himself up on his bed, because he felt very sad to have lost the figure of the person he really liked.

‘What Keil will come back here again?’ inner Athi, who was confused, had to do what about this feeling he had.

“Athi! It's noon, you're not going to school?” she shouted from outside her room.

Athi felt so uninspired that he was not in the mood to go to school.

“I can not permission, Mom?” yelled Athi back.

“You were the graduation test today. Why don't you suddenly want to go to school, anyway?” yelled mother again.

Athi let out a long sigh, as he could no longer run away from his bitter reality about Keil.

‘Can I get through all this? If I go back to school, I will definitely always remember about Keil, and all the places that there was once a story about us, the inner’ of Athi, who was doubtful about her own feelings.

With a heavy heart, Athi stepped foot towards the school. Just getting in front of his house, his steps stopped because he saw Lucas who was in front of him.

Lucas looked at him in wonder, “Your face why? How swollen is that?” asked Lucas who was astonished by Athi's swollen face, as a result of crying all night.

Athi looked at Lucas wistfully, “I'm fine. Just finished studying last night, would want a graduation exam, so I use SKS,” replied Athi, who of course lied to Lucas.

Lucas squinted his forehead, “SKS what is it?” his question was further confused by Athi's words.

“SKS the Speed System Overnight,” replied Athi, making Lucas suddenly upset with him.

Lucas shows his hand, preparing to flick Athi's forehead, “You want me to flick?” asked Lucas sarcastically, Athi dodged out of fear of Lucas' threat.

“Gak!” reject Athi, making Lucas smile thinly at Athi's expression.

“Yuk we walk,” invite Lucas, Athi nodded because of it.

They walked together to go to their school. Can not be denied by Lucas, life without Keil, making himself a little bit too sad.

Lucas looked at Athi, “Athanasia,” called Lucas, Athi turned to him.

“What's up?”

Lucas let out a long sigh, “Are you all right?” ask Lucas.

Hearing that, it made Athi feel extremely devastated. He cannot deny that he is not okay.

“I'm fine, Lucas,” replied Athi, Lucas was silent to Athi's answer like that.

“You're really okay, or forced to be okay?” asked Lucas, ascertaining Athi's true state.

Athi let out a long sigh, hearing Lucas say so.

Athi smiled at him, “Yes, I'm really fine, Lucas. You don't have to worry,” said Athi trying to convince Lucas with his current condition.

Lucas squinted his forehead, “Who is worried about you too,” Lucas denied, making Athi untouched by the attention Lucas had given him.

“Awas you ya!” gertak Athi, who then chased after him, and Lucas ran away to avoid Athi's rampage like that.

They also do the graduation exam this time, with difficulty and fall awake they work on it, in the end they also pass with a good enough score.

Although Athi was very sad over Keil's departure, he was happy that Lucas was always with him, and accompanied his dark days without Keil at his side.

Graduation day has arrived. Athi and Lucas were looking up at a small stage, near a flagpole in the school grounds. There, the figure of Sua who was smiling happily, because she had managed to get the third rank, from this school.

Sua's test results were quite good, so he became the top three brightest student in this school.

Of course Athi was very happy with his achievement.

‘Sua, finally you can prove to your parents,’ Inner Athi, who was very moved by Sua's hard work during this time in learning.

Sua smiled as she held a large trophy, making everyone give a standing ovation, to the three best students of their class.

Lucas turned to Athi, who was applauding at the achievement of his best friend.

“Unfortunately Keil is not here,” said Lucas, making Athi turn to him instantly.

They looked at each other for a moment, with the confused Athi having to behave like what.

“What if there's Keil?” ask Athi wonder.

“If there is Keil, Sua will not be in the best three students, because Keil will definitely take the first position,” Lucas said with great confidence, making Athi smile.

“Yes, you are right. Fortunately he is not here,” said Athi with a smile, suddenly made Lucas snort because he was surprised by Athi's response like this.

Lucas lowered his head, as it turned out that Athi was much stronger, than he had imagined.

Lucas looked back at Athi, “Hey, is Keil meaningless in your eyes?” lucas asked, Athi was surprised to hear that.

“Keil means a lot.”

“Deg!”

Lucas' heart was suddenly shocked by Athi's words. It makes Lucas more aware, although Athi lost Keil very much, but he still considers Keil there, in his heart.

“Let's be sure, I won't stay with you,” said Lucas, making Athi startled, then smile because it's nice to hear the words of Lucas who impressed the origin.

“Hey, come on photos!” said Imel who suddenly came with a bunch of flowers.

Lucas took it forcibly, “Please take a photo of us,” Lucas said, making Imel grumble over it.

“Bawel!”

With no choice, Imel immediately photographed them, with Lucas and Athi holding the flower bucket.

They pass, with no Keil on their side.
