Chap 10: LONELINESS
Tomorrow....
"Hello everyone, I'm going to school!" - Almira happily went out to say goodbye.
"Yes, child. Something's back early, don't go wandering!" - I advise you.
"Yes, auntie!"
Almira had just come out and approached the gate, when passing by, Kane saw her and asked:
"Yesterday, there seemed to be a happy atmosphere. What happened?
I'm not a nosy person, but don't disturb other people's atmosphere."
"And looking at you, you also seem to attract a lot of friends. I didn't expect you to be so popular with the opposite s*x that...followed me home".
"Looks like I won't have to endure it anymore to take care of things, because I already have someone to help me."
After Kane finished speaking,he got into the car and said, "Uncle Joe drives, I don't want to be late!".
Uncle Joe, standing next to him, heard the conversation. He didn't want Almira to hear and misunderstand, he wanted to explain. But his little master was grumpy, so he had to get in the car and run away. Leave me Almira alone.
On the road....
"You seem to have misunderstood Almira, yesterday that boy was her new friend. She loved the boy's situation, so she invited him to play at home. Because of their compatibility, but their friendship was new. Good".
"Perhaps that has affected you. But I see, you didn't have to be very gentle with her before. Why are you so grumpy and harsh today?"
Uncle Joe wanted to say, but stopped. Kane felt discomfort in person, so he saw this and said:
"If you want to talk, say it all, don't stammer, I don't like to guess."
When Uncle Joe heard that, he was driving while looking in the rearview mirror and said:
"Don't blame me for many words, although I don't have children, but I consider you and Almira as my children. I don't want to see either of you sad. If there's something wrong, it's done. Then let it go. Shouldn't be silent because of pride, and then have to regret it".
" Apologies are not something that can be saved. Just say sorry at the right time, you will receive a lot of good things that God has bestowed on you".
Kane listened to Uncle Joe's words. He thought about his harsh words earlier, but he didn't want to apologize.
Sunset is slowly falling....
After Kane heard what Uncle Joe said in the car this morning, he returned home early. He waited in front of the gate where Almira would pass to go home. He waited forever, waited forever. She finally came home. She was thinking about Kane 's words in the morning, so she didn't realize Kane was standing in front of her. She crashed into him:
"Sorry, I'm so sorry." She apologized profusely.
"Kane! What are you doing now, and still here? Are you waiting for me?"
"Um...you...umm...."
"What's wrong with you? If I don't have anything to say, come in, my aunt is waiting for me to come in for dinner!"
After saying that, she was about to enter the house, Kane said:
"What happened this morning, I'm sorry."
After saying that, he ran away, leaving Almira alone, who didn't understand the problem.
"What is this? In the morning he scolded me, in the evening he waited for me and apologized".
When she finished, she laughed. She became fresh, she entered the house.
... In the classroom....
"What! Is your house moving again? But you're studying! Where are you moving?" - Almira asked eagerly.
"Actually, I didn't want to go, but because my parents were worried that I was there alone, no one took care of me, they decided to take me back to the US ... they had already completed the procedure"...
"After tomorrow, I won't go to school anymore. I'll go at the beginning of the week!" - Kavin said sadly.
"Can you see me off?"
"Um, okay, of course, when my friends go away, I'll see them off.
"Don't be sad anymore, there will be a time when we will meet again.. Children who frown will get old very quickly! Young old man!" - Almira saw Kavin sad. His eyes started to turn red, she immediately made fun of it.
...At the front door...
Kavin stood waiting for Almira. When it was almost time to go to the airport, he began to worry and fear.
Almira arrived in time to see him off. The two were forced to separate, but time did not allow, so Kavin's parents urged him.
"Let's go, be well. See you soon!" The hug separated, before getting into the car, Kavin turned around, he said:
"See you later. Wait for me. I'll come back, come back to find you, Almira".
Both of them were attached forever until Kavin's parents urged them.
The car slowly rolled, until it disappeared...
Almira's mood on the way back was no longer happy. She wandered, she was sad because Kavin had left, no longer beside her,...
Returning home, her life gradually becomes unusually peaceful...
Time passes, 4 seasons change one after another...
10 years later...
She went from a 6-year-old girl to a 16-year-old girl - her beauty is showing more and more, a gentle beauty that makes people want to protect but no less resilient...
She grew up, but the person she wanted to meet still did not find her.
"Dad, are you okay now? Where are you? I miss you!" ....
Every line of her diary, every line of handwritten letter she wrote neatly in the notebook.
The book is as thick as her heart as well as the nostalgia she has for her poor father..."
As time goes by, each person grows and changes gradually, but somewhere there is still a little bit of a child - a strong aged but no less soft...
