Lucky for her, the sun shine brightly as if it knows the weather know Rona hasty plan for the day. Unlike the lovely weather and scenery that she sees, Ronas mind are wandering through many unpleasant thought. As the car drive past the tall buildings, Rona watch the scene from the window. A group of students talking happily with their arms link with each other. The lovely scene make her smile but in a seconds the smile vanished from her face.
I only have Jenny and Minhyuk as my friends. How can we maintain our friendship if I go to Italy. Who will protect Jenny? Who will embrace her when she is sad? Who will lend their ear when Jenny rant about her frustration? More importantly, what if we dont contact between each other anymore. The time difference is real. Her dark thought appeared again. She then try to disminished her thought.
As she was drowned in her dark mind, the car slowly approaching the mall.
Miss Rona, we had arrived
Ahjushi, how many times did I tell you to call me Rona. She sulked at the old man while pouting.
Im sorry Rona, it is a forced of habit. Occupational disease. The driver chuckled after hearing the little miss remark. He heard the door closed, but before he can push the accelerator, Rona knock on driver window. He then rolled down the window.
Ahjushi, dont wait for me. I will call you later when Im ready to head back to the hotel. Take a break for a while, go have lunch at your favourite restaurant. I know youre tired Rona told him. The driver just chuckled hearing Ronas words. He then saw Rona walked into the mall.
For him, he never found a girl like Rona. He already accepted and see Rona as her daughter. For the first time he saw her, he thought that Rona is a bright girl. She is a constantly happy and smile a lot, always show her smile to every person that she encounter, her academic achievement is very impressive too and not to be forgotten her angelic voice that she inherited from her mother. Every staff of Logan that knew her, love her like a family. But who would ever thought that this bright and lovely girl suffered a lot from a young age. She definitely didnt deserve any of it. Being abandoned by her father and paternal grandmother, to being bullied at school for years and to make it worse her mother was accused to be a murderer. As that is not enough, evil people tried to hurt her even to the point to murder the girl. Luckily, she survived that accident. After that incident, she finally found the path to her happiness but it didnt last long. The unexpected and biggest bomb dropped at her feet when her mother was murdered. Now, the brave girl need to fend for herself without her biggest supporter.
I hope you will find your happiness, brave girl he thought. Then, the car exited the mall.
Rona had been in the mall for 30 minutes. She walked through various of stores but not interested to enter any of it. She then thought I can buy the things at Italy, why bother to come to the mall She mumbled then sighed at her stupidity. She exited the mall and find a café. She entered the café and ordered a banana and strawberry smoothie. While waiting for her order, she pick a seat near the window and look at the people wandering around the street.
She sipped her smoothie to savor the flavor of banana and strawberry which is her favourite fruits. Ronas intention to go out is to make some happy memory before going to Italy. She then thought of an idea and grabbed phone. She searched for something and smile as she found it. She squealed happily and began to search Jenny on her contact to call her. Unfortunately, she didnt pick up her phone. Rona just leave a message for her.
Jenny, You dont need to come to the mall. Ill see you at dinner later
Rona exited the cafe and walked to find a bus stop. As she found one, she immediately sit down on the bench and waited patiently for the bus to come. While waiting, she grabbed her phone and began to scroll on her phone. She opened her note and type the things she will do today. She smiled brightly as she type on her phone. The sound of her fingers furiously typing the words like shes running out of time surrounding her. As she heard sound of the bus engine, she tilted her head slightly just to see the bus stopped in front her. With a big smile on her face, she get up and skip lightly to reach the bus. Finding a seat on a bus is likely impossible when she was a student. Now, she can find a seat easily as it is not a peak hour for people to ride bus. As she sat, the bus began to move forward. She intentionally pick a seat beside a window. She want to capture every possible images of Korea.
I need to imprint this image into my memory now. Who knows when will I return to Korea. She thought.
She then shake her head and said Rona, today you need to make a happy memory. No sad or dark thought while you enjoying your life in Korea for the first and the last time here. She picked up her phone to see the list of things that she will do today.
