The Journey of Destiny

The Journey of Destiny
Chapter 7



Being a child diplomat has its advantages and disadvantages. Being in a long time in different countries gives a lot of new experiences that are very valuable.


For example, enjoying the taste of food typical of a country, learning various cultures, languages, feeling the natural scenery and new temperatures and many others that cannot be felt by most people in the world.


But on the other hand, he also left old friends, looking for new friends and the demands to adapt are what sometimes frustrate them to a high level in a short period of time.


Arkana was in the seat of the plane in the corner by the window, unblinkingly looking at the city of Jakarta below. A city that holds many wonderful memories in his life over the past three years.


The city of Jakarta, brought him to meet with friends who are special, difficult to replace, the city that he will soon leave for the next few years, whether long or briefly.


From the sky, Jakarta looks like a forest that is illuminated by millions of fireflies in it. Arkana tried to find the lamp of his house, not to forget he also tried to find the lamp of the highest monument, Monas. Although he did not find it.


Arkana remembers her cycling habits that every Car Free Day does. At that time, sweat soaked his head and his entire body, Arkana paddled while breathing the air of the city of Jakarta in the morning.


His cycling hobby makes him not tired even though paddling with a distance of many kilometers. He returns looking for other lights, school lights that always remind him of Hana. Sweet and pretty girl who has a lot of sincerity, the girl who always makes the classroom atmosphere feel good, even makes her forget to meet Felisha.


At that time, she knew Hana was there because the girl had promised her she would stay.


Slowly the Jakarta light fireflies left, not those who went precisely Arkana who had been getting away.


Filled with curiosity Arkana saw the pouch bag Hana gave her. He opened it, and saw it. Looking at the gift, Arkana hugged the gift strongly, never thinking how much Hana cared about her, and she had trouble remembering from when Hana did it.



A rabbit-shaped neck pillow that says (Ilmenau Himmelblau) makes Arkana want to wear a parachute and then jump back to the airport. Or repeating the time, at least to ventured to ask to take Hana for a walk on Sunday night.


But no parachute, no time machine can repeat and bring Arkana into the past and now just a regret that Arkana feels.


From inside the bag Arkana finds a letter bearing the image of Monas, which makes him come back to hope with a small note in it.


" This pillow will fit in your head, so you can sleep comfortably and quietly during your long journey on the plane.I hope your trip will be fun and to be honest I will definitely miss you a lot, but for sure I'll catch up with you there soon" wrote the letter.


" It's good that I'll wait for you there, Hana" Arkana said in her heart.


Hana and Felisha are still on their way home the tears are both still falling, the two friends will very much feel the loss of Arkana.


" I will definitely miss him a lot, Han" Felisha said.


" I am too."


" Now Arkana is leaving me, some time in the future I will leave you, Han" said Felisha increasingly sad.


" We've just gotten close, but why so fast?, "Hana's feeling more heartbroken.


" Let's go to college together, Han "take Felisha seriously.


" My mom's been planning my college here, Fel" explains Hana.


" Ah why this sucks "excited Felisha.


" It is, mending we spend our short time to have fun ".


" What do you think, Arka will be there to meet a beautiful girl there ?" ask Hana plain.


" Hey, no, not just anyone, the beautiful Dimata Arka is just the two of us, hahaha" Felisha joked.


They came home full of laughter relieving the sadness and loss of Arkana.


A few days passed..


" I hope she's always okay, and maybe tomorrow she'll tell me how and what she's doing there" Hana wrote in her diary.



The sound of a phone ringing disperse the daydream, seen on the screen Felisha's name written there.


" Hana, let's go for a walk "take Felisha.


" Where?" ask Hana.


" Wherever, the important thing is we go, I'm bored at home. "


" Oh yeah, I took a shower" replied Hana.


Some time later Felisha had arrived in front of Hana's house, while still driving her favorite car.


To be honest there is a deep longing in his heart for Arkana, how not they always spend time together, sometimes go for a walk until they spend time watching together.


Fortunately, he now has a new friend, when Arkana left him, a friendship that happened without intention.


They like Arkana. But there is no intention of Felisha to feel angry at Hana, she knows she can only harbor her feelings because she realizes Arkana only considers her best friend no more.


After all, she had a boyfriend, couldn't possibly expect more about her feelings now, now her goal is to support her in getting closer to Arkana.


" for a long time anyway, moss I'm here waiting, " grumbled Felisha.just like when I was about to go to the airport to take Arkana away.


" I'm sorry, hehehe" replied Hana.


" Where are we going? " he continued.


" Night market just "take Felisha.


" let's go, "they're gone.


The two friends spent time together, made photos together, ate ice cream together and more.


For some reason, however, this keeps them closer and closer than ever.


Six months after Arkana's departure. Hana feels grateful that her life is not in the Great Stone Age, if they lived in that era maybe Hana and Arkana would be difficult to communicate.



It turns out that now, Arkana occasionally calls by phone or other social media. Arkana often said hello to her


" Where are you going today?" he wrote.


" At home" replied Hana.


Arkana tells a long story about the city she lived in, beautiful Vancouver with beautiful girls there.


"So what are you doing again? " ask Hana curiously.


" I study, do assignments from teachers and more" Arkana explained.


At that time Hana was very happy, because Arkana was very close to her.
