Andy finds mother's old letter addressed to a recipient named Mariana, which the postal service returns because the recipient's address is not recognized. “But the biggest reason is because of my mom. Mom had issue of depression, although this day her condition is much better.” Andy's confession again gave Peter a big shock, the more he heard further the heavier it was for him to hear it. But he could not ask Andy to stop the story just because the reason was too sad for Peter to bear in heart. “I decided to go back to this city to look for someone's whereabouts. I wanted to meet him and ask something about myself, about what happened in the past.” For a moment there was silence, Peter honestly felt confused about how to react to Andy's story, which had many surprises and sad stories that he had never imagined. “Then you've met the man?” Peter couldn't wait to hear the end of story. “Not yet.” Andy's voice sounded gloomy. “Why?” “I've been looking but still haven't found him,
As time passed and the day changed, Joan noticed no signs of change in Lynd's daily life. Though he deliberately kept distance, hoping Lynd would notice Joan's change of attitude and come to him. On the contrary, she still looked the same, or it could be that Lynd didn't even know at all that Joan was upset. As Joan moves away from Lynd, on the other hand, the presence of Lynd's club friends has become stronger and more influential in Lynd's daily life lately. Joan saw them spending more and more time together. Indeed it was because Lynd and her club mates were working on the same project preparing for the competition. Joan knew, that was Lynd's pure reason for being close and intimate with clubmates. But from what Joan heard, he got information that Lynd on school holidays went together, just the two of them. If Joan continues to let this happen, it could get worse. He wants Lynd to keep her distance and not be intimate because it could be misunderstood by others as giving opportu
As she stepped out of the store, Lynd was surprised to see a familiar face. Andy stood in front of mother's flower shop. For a moment, they just stared at each other, equally digesting the situation. “Ahh.. No wonder I feel like I've met you. Are you the daughter of the shop owner?” Andy said after understanding the situation. “And yourself, what are you doing here? Want to buy flowers? Are you a customer here?” Lynd asked innocently. “Of course not.” Andy said tactfully. “His annoying attitude remained the same.” Lynd thought, spoke to herself.“Then this is just a coincidence?” Ask Lynd again. Andy couldn't tell the real reason why he was standing there. “Yeah.. Just a passing coincidence.” Obviously Lynd saw him standing stopped in front of the store, not just passing by. “It's a passing coincidence... huh? are your home is in this area too?” “What am I telling you for!” Andy immediately withdrew as if Lynd were coming to his house to disturb him if he tell so. “Oh, my god.”
In addition to being in the school cafeteria, Andy and Peter used to spend their breaks in the open enjoying the breeze, not too crowded but still shady, away from the presence of people. In a place like that Andy can more freely behave and talk casually. Take off the mask for a moment. “Your club? Didn't you just put your name in there?” Peter knew Andy had always skipped club activities. Andy explained once more for Peter to understand. “It's related to performance reports, I mean it's going to affect school grades so I have to do it. And for the event each member is required to bring a friend, so that more and more participants.” “Then why me?” Peter wouldn't want to be involved with that weird club. “Then who do you think is there? Who else can I bring besides you!” Andy said more fiercely, making his guts shrink. “Shit.” Peter finally nodded. Weight bears the status of a faithful familiaer friend, what else is the only friend of a popular student. Still hard to accept, Pete
Luckily Andy and Peter are in the same duty unit. Peter couldn't wait to hear Andy's explanation if he had to wait until the evvent was over. All day he would think about Andy's words and could not focus on anything. “Explain what you meant, so I can understand.” Ask Peter for Andy right away when they're alone. Andy was still keeping his mouth shut, both hands busy collecting the tools needed to plant trees. Peter waits for Andy to start telling stories, staying nearby while help working. “She's someone I know from the past, the daughter of Mariana.” Andy said with zoning out face. Peter tried to remember, feeling familiar with the name Andy mentioned. “The flower shop owner? The one you've been looking for with me? I didn't ask when I saw your serious face, but who is it Mariana?” “Aunt Mariana is the ex-wife of uncle Hans, the man I'm looking for.” Peter begins to get a little confused by Andy's story development. “So that girl you mentioned is the chid of Mariana and Hans?
Arte arrives at the health post where Egy, Anna and Lynd are. She felt very guilty because did not realize that Egy was not healthy enough to participate in this club event. she should have paid more attention because she was the one who brought them here. Right at that moment, Egy woke up. “Uhh, what happened? Why am I here?” Egy saw the faces of the girls when open eyes and unfamiliar place in a makeshift tent. “You have a high fever! Why force yourself to come?” Arte was angry with anxiety. “Fever? I felt fine when I left home.” said Egy still half-awake, then she suddenly shouted. “Ahh!! What I've done.. The chance to be close to Andy! I wasted like this..” Egy remembered the last thing she wanted to do before lost consciousness. Egy's panic about something else that is beyond comprehension, provokes Arte's emotions. “Don't overdo it!” she jerked, making Anna and Lynd also shudder in surprise. “We're worried about you, but all you can think all about is that?” “But I've been
On the other hand Lynd looked at Andy's departure still with a question mark, also feeling that there was something strange about his attitude just now. “What did you mean by that? Who came looking for whom?” Finally Lynd stopped by the store. she couldn't go home because too curious. “Your friend came to the store looking for your mother.” Obviously not other answer. “Looking for Mom? Why? For what?” Lynd is surprised to hear the unexpected about Andy's interest in finding her mother. The store clerk's also felt as strange as Lynd about Andy. “Hm. I asked him the same question, but he didn't answer and just walked away. Like just now, what you see yourself.” “Are you not mistaken?” Lynd finds it difficult to draw a link between mom and Andy. “How am I wrong? That friend of yours, as you can see he's a bit different from the other lads and the main point is he's also handsome. I remember that impression very well.” The clerk's smiled at the pleasure of seeing Andy again. Still
Lynd and Anna are in Egy's class, wanting to see her condition with own eyes. But the person who are worried are still fussing about the same thing as yesterday. It's the same with Anna. Luckily there was no Arte with them. “I want to meet Andy, I want to thank him in person.” “I think it's a bad idea, Egy.” Anna's honest opinion sounded cruel with sharp words, instantly breaking Egy's deep desire. “Why? Why it is?” Egy protested a little loudly. Anna tried to patiently explain to Egy. “Think about it from Andy's perspective, it's too much. Also he will be uncomfortable with your attitude?” “Why.. I think this is my chance to see him, talk to him..” when else would she have the chance come to see Andy with quite a logical reason. “You think so, too, Lynd?” Asked Egy. Lynd couldn't speak as sharply as Anna but she agreed with what Anna said. It's going to be weird, because it happened yesterday. If really want to thank, waiting for the right time and done naturally is definitely
