Maybe it was fate that brought Lynd to this place. The school that she really never thought of would take the next three years alone without a friend. In this place there is nothing she is looking for, but there is something Lynd wants to protects with all out as best she can. Lynd didn't want to let little things go unnoticed again. Don't want to lose more time together with her precious person. She will start collecting small pieces, make good memories, live without regrets towards her loved ones again. Don't want to make the same mistake a second time.
"Are you and Daniel close friend?" Ask sassy girls to the girl that seat beside Lynd. Who she know the name of her new friend is Sarah."Yes I'm. But, who you are?" Sarah's voice a bit angry. Its rude she think for someone ask you but not introduced yourself first."Ops! Sorry. I'm Arte, will you be my friend too?" said the one who still standing in front of Sarah and Lynd. Till now Lynd still keep herThe contents of the letter that Joan wrote to Lynd.Sudden presence. Existence is like the wind that can be felt but not seen by the eye. That's what my presence means to you..Before reading this letter any further, please introduce me as your foreign travel companion. Where we ride the train in the same series. Sitting in the next chair with a destination that neither of us knows each other.A few stations missed, I just silently watched you from the seat next to you sitting silently reading a book. Looking at you it occurred to me, 'where are you going alone at night in this dangerous train. Aren't you afraid to go alone?'I want to greet you but don't want to disturb you who are so immersed in the book you are reading. So I stopped my intention, it's better not because it's rude and you might not like it.The train was still running, the occasional warning sound could be heard at each station. You remained seated without any sign of getting off at the
A letter came back in a few days. This is the third letter from Joan. The content wrote.I will be waiting for your reply to answer my question in the previous letter.Lets meet and getting know each other better. I'm waiting for your after school today in the back gate. Let's walk togather.Your ifriend Unfortunately the letter never get to Lynd hand. So for long long long time the mysterious letter still be mystery and forgotten until Joan make a confession when they's graduation ceremony.Why school memories dominate Lynd's mind now. Is there because Joan standing in front of her with passion that she never know before."You have change a lot, in many things. I guess.." Lynd spoke with soft voice. Joan Lee that she know gentle and always considered for other people."Well I can't say I didn't, and half of the reasons because of you." Joan can't wait anymore just standing there forever. So he just came in
During a week of her free time, Lynd come to the field behind the school. Sitting under a big tree without name that was mention in letter. Nothing special to do, just spend time alone. Lynd came closer to the bottom of a big tree among other tree, feel at ease to linger or lie down under it then Lynd can feel comfortable and peaceful.Dense branches and shady leaves of trees. In the morning fresh air blows from the leaves of trees that are still sweating in a blanket of dew. If during the day, the heat of the scorching sun, sure enough can not penetrate the shade of the leaves of this tree. The wind that blows does not necessarily pass by, but stopped sneaking among the leaves invite to dance together. Ah! Under the tree too, Lynd has a new hobby, reading letters that her friends have dubbed the writer a name as secret devotee. Lynd opened one of the letters and began to read it. The most beautiful thing is your smile that you aim at the flowers and trees
Second day. Lynd and Joan discuss running errands to be more organized than yesterday. At least they can talk to each other more freely and seem familiar to each other. Despite the fact that their conversation is still related about the task. They didn't expect to work so well together like this. Now Lynd at least knows what kind of person Joan was. Joan responsible young man, hardworking, intelligent, well-mannered, reliable. Not many young people are willing to take on this kind of task, which is obviously troublesome and more so because of prestige. What she saw in him wasn't like that. But that was Lynd's cursory assessment of Joan, no matter how recently they had spent time together. Then what he saw in her, to be able to say love. No, it's better to call it never love, because Lynd doesn't know what's in Joan's heart right now. Still with the same feeling as in the letter Joan wrote for Lynd. Or has it ended without a chance for him to start. Since they
On the third day, this is the last day they spread the proposal. Today the task is completed longer than the previous days. Joan and Lynd felt very exhausted for three days of running errands in a row. It was getting late and the sky was getting dark. On the way back home, Lynd and Joan walked together reaching the highway in search of public transportation.“Thank you for today, be careful on the way." Lynd message when they will be separated for a ride on public transport different destinations.“How about I take you home? It's too late to go home alone.” Joan mustered up the courage to volunteer.“No, you must be tired too. Hurry home and get some rest." Refuse Lynd politely.“How can I rest in peace if I let you go home alone.”“It's not like that!” The boy was surprised Lynd was more aggressive than usual. “You must be very tired too, so..."She was upset why Joan couldn't unders
Lynd immediately packed up when school was over. She wanted as quickly as possible to go somewhere. A moment ago she got bad news from home. Lynd didn't want waste time, she got permission not to participate in club activities today. Hurrying to leave immediately, Lynd half-ran towards the doorway. Joan came from other direction, right there the two are collide.“Oh sorry! I'm in a hurry." Lynd realized who the person she was running into, immediately kept distance and lowered her gaze.“You're going home? What about club Activities?"Asked Joan.“Permission. I have to go somewhere soon!”“Is everything all right?"Joan asked looking at Lynd anxiously mixed with panic.“That..." wondered why she explained the situation to him.Joan understands Lynd's position, and it can be difficult to talk about personal issues with someone you just getting know. But he couldn't let her. He wanted to help when she wa
In Joan's mind, the only thing in his eyes right now was just the girl beside him. He doesn't care about other people's looks or opinions. although Lynd's question make him caught on guard.“Wait! I'm not asking for your answer, I just want to make sure that you don't have the slightest interest in me and that what I do that day was my fault.”Lynd not be able to do it, she is inexperienced and has not enough knowledge to deceive someone. that way she try to stop anything it is what Joan have or felt to her."What's? Wait! I'm too have something to say--"She stop him to say anymore, Lynd wanted to leave, but Joan held her back. He can't just let her go like last time.“I'm sorry...” she broke away from Joan's hand, passed away quickly towards the class. Luckily their conversation ended before many students realized or paid attention to either.Joan has no choice or right to pursue her. At this time the conditio
Joan was still standing at the door. Look at Lynd straight, and said. "Can I come closer to you?” Before moving forward, go inside Joan to ask Lynd's approval first.For some reason Joan felt he had to be more careful and polite around Lynd at this time. Perhaps it was partly his common sense realizing they were the only two in the room.Lynd changed her half-lying position to sit firmly on the side of the bed then gave her consent with a nod.Every step Joan took to come closer to her made Lynd's heart beat faster for some reason. She had forgotten the pale withered face and also the head that still felt spinning.Joan took a steady step towards Lynd. At a distance of about two meters remaining between them, he stopped the pace. As he said, he couldn't keep his eyes off from Lynd."You okay? How do you feel now? Have the teacher checked on you? What about the medicine, have you taken some?"He asked without pause, looking anxious.Lynd
Time seemed to roll slowly, but it was like torture for Lynd. At a distance Andy unknowingly overtakes Lynd for worrying with a hint of guilt. When he saw the two of them talking, he couldn't get any closer because didn't want to make things worse. “Aren’t we supposed to talk, you’re the one suggest it to me?” Lynd was still speechless, hearing Joan's question that felt not like a question but a reassurance for Lynd to remember the bond between them. Joan didn't care anymore even though he knew that now everything he said could hurt the girl she loved. "Now tell me, who here is guilty? Me or you? How could you do this to me?” Still shrouded in the shadow of the worst ending to the situation that occurred between them, Lynd tried to hold on, bracing herself still to face all overflow Joan's anger. Lynd had to understand Joan's position that it was natural for him to be cold and mean like this. “Did I break our promise in your eyes?” Lynd wanted to find out what Joan really believed
The encounter between Liona, Lynd and Andy that afternoon takes them on a time trip a dozen years ago where Hans meets his old good friend who broke contact without news feed. But the meeting did not last long before Hans was left by his best friend, Andy’s father, for good.Liona told the story she had heard from the father, it's exactly the same story she told back to Andy and Lynd without exaggerating or reducing any part. Except a little from point of view. “At that time, I heard the last request that he could not refuse other than to promise, that he would be responsible for taking care of you. You and aunt Helen.”“The promise he made in the last second of life of his best friend, your faher, An.” Liona paused for a moment, giving pause to Andy who might actually feel heavy-hearted to hear this story. “Mom and Dad's divorce is not entirely your fault or your family. Dad and Mothers who can't stand their own problem anymore. He easily lets Mom go, and Mom gives up fighting for Da
“Sis, where are you?” Call Lynd as soon as enters the house looking for Liona's whereabouts. sHe wanted to introduce Andy first, but Liona wasn't there. “Come in, have a seat. I'll stay for a while looking for her, maybe in the room.” Lynd asked when see Andy who was still standing awkwardly to be more relaxed. Leaving Andy alone in the living room, Lynd walked towards Liona's room. When getting closer, through the open door of the room, heard Liona was talking to someone. Lynd looked into the room through the crack in the door, slowly opening it wider. “Alec, I don't mind explaining to Mom if you haven't been able to take the time.” Liona is on the phone. “No, don't say sorry. I should be the one to apologize, maybe this is too sudden for you.” finally she noticed Lynd's presence behind her door. Liona saw Lynd who seemed to be waiting for her, inevitably she had to end the conversation. “Alec, we'll talk about this later. Yeah, we met on campus. Okay...” Lynd felt embarrassed. “
After receiving confirmation that Liona has returned from college and is at home, Andy and Lynd prepare to go out, as well as Peter who plans to go home. Peter said goodbye to retreat in front of Andy's yard, passing away. Peter's departure leaves only Lynd and Andy there. They walked quite a bit three to five minutes to arrive at Lynd's house. In Lynd's mind hung the one uneasiness and question she was eager to convey to Andy. But Lynd continued to back down after repeatedly considering whether not to cross the line if she asked Andy and alluded to the close relationship between himself and Egy. Lynd anxiously looked at Andy, reading the look on his face. Which Lynd attitude was realized by Andy and make him feel uncomfortable because it continues to be looked at. “Just ask if you really want to know.” Said Andy without looking at Lynd, still looking at road focus forward path. “What?” Lynd woke up from her serious thoughts. “Your attitude bothers me. Just tell me what you want t
Lynd returned home quite late, almost at dinner time. The contents of her mind felt full after talking to Andy, the conversation itself was also not over and they had to postpone it because Lynd was worried that people at home might look for her.“Where have you been, Lynd, just got back at this hour?” Liona immediately lecturing, not too sensitive to read Lynd's face looked very tired.“I’m sorry Sis, I'm not aware of the time. A lot has happened lately at school.”Liona this time observing her sister's face, let out a long sigh. “Quickly clean yourself up and we eat, the story can wait for later.” Liona canceled interrogating her sister because she did not have the heart.Lynd obeyed Liona's orders without rebuttal, feeling that her day was already quite tired and out of energy. Talking to Andy also made mood decrease not excited. Lynd and Andy promised to arrange another day to talk, they exchanged numbers so that it would be easier to contact each other. And because of something e
All this time, of course, Peter was fine because even though the homo speculation appeared, they enjoyed it only as a joke, making the rumor an entertainment fantasy. But this time with Lynd was different, first because she was the opposite sex. And secondly because Andy's words that he always said as an excuse to reject girls who profess love, that he has someone to like. Two things are enough, there's a lot of speculation going on right now.Seeing Andy's unusual expression reveal emotion and anxiety, brought up question in Peter's mind. “Wait! Do not say―” Peter hesitated to continue what was bothering him. “Are you worried about Lynd? You seriously like her!”Andy was astonished why Peter had even summed up the word to being towards the direction. Getting Andy's gaze, Peter continued his speech. “Think for yourself. while on the plane on a field trip way back home. You self said with a serious face that you wanted to approach Lynd's friend at school. Did you care or worry about ho
Unlike Andy, Lynd was just an ordinary schoolgirl in general. spends her busy days chasing academy grades and pursuing future career paths to achieve dreams. Throughout the history of life, Lynd was hit by a scandalous relationship with someone who had many fans. If she could choose if that was the case and the scandal could not be avoided, Lynd hoped that person at least not Andy, should be anyone.But that pointless, scandals only happen to those who have popularity. And the reason for the scandal was Andy-self, his existence and popularity. Lynd's figure was dragged into rumors due to her interaction with him, which sparked the curiosity of many eyes. Whereupon Lynd thought to such an extent that her act of coming upon Andy would end with riot like this.But it's not the time for Lynd to be busy taking care of what people say. she still has to explain what happened, not to the general public who are curious about the truth or identity, but to Joan. Some how she felt have a obliga
Although Anna had heard the outline of the incident during the field trip from Joan's description, she also witnessed Egy and Lynd's dispute in the resort room. Anna remained shocked by the long-tailed misunderstanding. There is no right or wrong, for this matter. But Anna had a different opinion.“If you don't like it, it doesn't mean that other people have to agree with you, Lynd. You knew from the beginning how much Egy liked Andy and tried to get close to him. Although you reason because you are anxious for Egy's good, but do you think about how Egy's position will be in Andy's eyes now?” Anna did not hesitate to criticize Lynd directly.“That's too much Anna, I don't think it's going to come to that. Andy didn't necessarily bother about Egy, because he wasn't interested in her at all. I'm sorry, if I have to be honest.” Arte have another opinion.“Lynd's exaggerated reaction on the matter, didn't you think? You care too much about other .” Anna can't stand, and if she remember h
The atmosphere in the cafe is growing tense. As much as possible Lynd tried to explain the reasons behind her actions during the field trip. “That day when I saw you, I confessed, my actions without thinking clearly. I've been influenced by my beliefs and assumptions all along.”“You realize what makes me mad at you?”Egy still remember at that moment Andy was talking, because Lynd took Egy away then she couldn't hear the rest of Andy's words.“Because I interfered with your business?” Doubtful answer from Lynd.“Yes! I won't deny it, but it's not points that's all that matters. More than that is you misunderstood Andy so much! He had absolutely no ill intentions towards me, on the contrary maybe Andy felt uncomfortable with the existence of others. I forced myself to go with him through Peter.”at that moment, Egy can catch all that on a free schedule during their school field trip, Andy is forced to accept Egy's presence. Even though knew it, ahe continued to push over, hiding her
