The Journey of Destiny

The Journey of Destiny
Chapter 3



That morning was the language lesson. A familiar teacher called Arman one school, asked some of his students about their personalities and dreams.


" Arkana, name one thing that replicates you "


" The book "answer


" reason? " ask Arman again


" I want to be the window to the world, Pak " answered Arkana straightforwardly.


While the other disciples clapped, Arman's gaze was fixed on the girl who was staring at Arkana for quite a long time. The girl who smiled and kept smiling while watching Arkana. Arman took the initiative, asking him questions.


" Hana, what are your goals? " asked Arman while walking towards the girl's bench "Hana? " Hana was surprised.


" I want to be the best writer for, uh for the world! " hana replied resignedly because Hana felt confident that Arman knew the nervousness and the meaning. But fortunately only Arman the language teacher. Hana can't imagine what would happen if she actually said the word "HE" saying she wanted to be the best writer for her, for Arkana.


Hana raised her head that had been bowed.but before long, she lowered her head again when she saw Arkana looking at her with a gaze that was again difficult to understand. Yes, for Hana had trouble deciphering that gaze because she liked Arkana and held more hope for that simple gaze.


The morning is always the best


" Morning Hana "greet Felisha


" Morning fel " replied Hana


This morning before class, Hana told me about her vacation. Hearing that, Felisha began to tell stories and discuss the uniqueness of the Frankfurt subway tunnel.


" Important one, do not forget to bring souvenirs for me, yes" concluded Felisha after finishing telling the story.


Hana pulled out her little finger wanting to do a pinky promise, but suddenly there was another pinky welcoming her.


" Pinky promise "ask Arkana while wiggling Hana's finger.


Hana was unable to answer, she was too nervous to. With a small effort, Hana took off her finger.


In front of them was an empty bench, Hana thought Arkana would sit on one of the benches to join the story, but she was wrong. Arkana just wants to see Felisha for a little while.


" There's something I want to talk about" Fel said Arkana. Felisha stood up and listened to Arkana's words carefully.


" Pad's decision letter is out. On July 1st we will move to Canada. This time not only three years, but I convinced myself to continue studying there " explained Arkana


Felisha, without warning, hugged Arkana. With tears falling on her pink cheeks, Felisa could not help but cry. Hana could only be fixated, silent and she was injured watching them cuddle. Hana was not sure if she deserved to cry, crying to see Felisha and Arkana embrace. Or should Hana cry because of Arkana's decision letter and determination to study there.


" how long has he been there? Am I gonna miss him?, what if we split up, I haven't even gotten close to him, am I gonna lose him and never have him forever? " thought Hana in her heart


"Hana, don't you want to hug me? " ask Arkana who immediately awakened Hana from her daydream.


Don't know what makes Arkana joke like that with him. Arkana makes a warm feeling spread almost in all parts of Hana's face. Hana furrowed her brows then bit her lips. Hana thought of the right sentence for that answer. Honestly, right now Hana wants to say YES and then hugs Arkana however...


Hana's answer was perfect. Needless to say, Hana wants to be invited to Arkana's farewell.


Arkana also extended her little finger to Hana, they also did pinky promise again. For the first time Hana felt a beautiful fireworks eruption in her heart.


On the way home, Hana had already made her schedule of activities that afternoon. After all the work he did, he would take the time to find out the good places in Germany.


The afternoon passed. Hana is seen holding her laptop and starts browsing websites about Germany and traveling blogs that tell the journey of people there. Hana seems to want to leave tonight too. After being satisfied with the internet information about Germany, Hana turned to another Canadian city where Arkana would move to and go to college, and perhaps Arkana would find another girl there.


" NO! don't let that happen "hana thought


At night, Hana took the time to swim in her swimming pool. Hannah loves this swimming sport. Especially while listening to a song. " For the sake of the day" of Yovie n Nuno.


" Is Arkana listening to a song? or something for me?" thought Hana


Hana sits by the pool her thoughts are currently just Arkana and Arkana. Hana couldn't believe it but Hana knew for sure that later after Arkana left she would miss him a lot .A longing that tormented and hurt him.


Hana went to the bathroom, there was a girl in the reflection of a mirror. Hana looked at the teardrops that were beginning to fall. Hana's little heart was worried about those tears. To him, crying over Arkana's departure is taboo. Hana is not Felisha, a friend of Arkana. Hana is just a girl Hana who is nobody who deserves to miss Arkana.


Hana took back the book


" For me and all my dreams " . In a moment of hope, Hana closed her eyes and smiled, slowly falling down her tears again. Hana was unable to reduce her pain and heart wounds.


However, Hana realized that even crying would not restore her heart, the fog of hope seemed to thicken. As Hana deepened and far away became lost in her pain and grief, her little hand picked up a pencil next to her book. Hopefully, the poor girl began to write again.


" I wish I could kiss Arkana at the airport later, and make him the man who owned my first kiss. Does God have to be this hard to love her? " sincere Hana.


...The seven-hour journey from Jakarta to Abu Dhabi, and eleven hours from Abu Dhabi to Frankfurt, is no longer a boring one as there are box office movies accompanying on the plane , and after all, it's not that boring, Hana hasn't traveled like this in a long time. Go for a walk together with the mother, since a few years ago to be exact....


They are in front of Deutsche Banh or often in the short DB, Frankfurt's main station, the city which has a combination of 18th and 21st century buildings.


" Hana, look here" said Amara who holds the camera to take a picture of Hana. They also took turns photographing each other and posing.


" How long is our trip going to be, Mom? " asked Hana after stuffing some small suitcases into the cabin baggage of the train they were riding.


"About four hours. You rest first" said Amara while stroking the head of the baby.


" No, Hana doesn't want to sleep. Hana wanted to see the scenery here" answered Hana who was sitting next to the window.


" Oh yes, that's "amara replied


The expanse of grasslands that began to be covered by snow patches, warm air in the car and warm embrace of the mother made Hana want to stop the time in this day. But it is impossible and impossible. In short they have arrived in Ilmenau, a small town in the state of Thuringia, Germany. Hotel Lienenhof is where they stop by Eman the next day.


the city of Ilmenau has been wrapped in the dark night sky, both of them decided to rest, replenish the energy for a pleasant journey tomorrow.
