The Coffee Shop

Part 4

I turned back. “Who are..... Oh sorry, it’s you” I said to him.

It was Sehun.

  “Why are you here?”. Sehun asked, still looking at me with a newspaper on his hand.

  “Remember my friends Kris and Tao? Today‘s their flight going to the U.S. to continue their studies. They just left a minute ago. “ Everytime I remember them leaving me. It kills, Sigh.

  “Yes I know, I saw you a while back at the benches with them. It seems that you don’t want them to go.” He then sat Beside me.

“Honestly, it’s really hard seeing them go. But I cannot do anything. Maybe it’s for our own goods.” I sighed on that thought, Yeah even if it pains me. It's For our own good.

“Wait how about you, what are you doing here?” I asked him, While Sehun was reading his Newspaper.

  “I was with my parents a while back. They boarded the same plane your friends did.” He replied, Without looking at me.

“That’s nice, I hope that was me.” As I talk in a sad voice.

  “There you go again. Remember what you told me at the hospital garden?” “Don’t think that they’re the only friends you have.” “You can never tell what the future will be. People change.”

As I was listening to what he was saying, I felt a little comfort.

I thought that having new friends will be okay. As we parted ways, I thanked him.

“If I’ve just known you a long time ago” I said to him smiling.

  “I told you, you cannot predict what will happen next.”The tone of His voice was really Creepy, He even Smirked on me then waved goodbye.

Entering the room without seeing them, I felt like left alone. A part of me is missing. It’s not about missing them but our friendships. Days passed, then week until the next school year.

Kris and Tao are contacting me but that was not enough. I was alone. This is not me. Why can’t I make friends with anyone? As I remembered, the whole classes were my friends. This is not normal and I need to return to the past me. In order to do this, I must transfer to another school and start a new life. A life with no Kris or Tao.

This school will help me to move on. I will meet people and forget the past.

“Kathleen?”

“Yes?” I asked. It’s him again! He was the guy from the hospital a year ago. He who advised me with confusing advises - Sehun!

“It is you” I thought so he told me smiling.

“Yes of course it’s me, who else would I be. I am the only one who was this face.” I replied with a tease.He just smiled.

  “So, have you moved on?” “How many friends have you had since them?” He was pertaining to Kris and Tao.

I just looked at him.

  “I can read your face saying none” “what have you been up to?” His face looked Disappointed.

Yeah I know, that’s why I transferred, to forget about the past.I murmurred to myself.

  “Well, if that’s what you had to do. Anyway, I got to go. I have class.” he started walking

“It’s nice seeing you here. I have to go to.” I said also walking on the corridor.

As we started walking, we noticed we were heading the same direction. We looked at each other and laughed.

“Want to walk with me?” Sehun said as He waited for me.

“Yes, sorry.” I said laughing. “Wow this is great your room is just beside mine.” I told him.

  “You are really lucky.” “You were not alone on your first day.” he said, with a teasing smile.

“Yes I know.” “Jal ga” I said and waved at him.

That was the first laugh I had with someone since that day at the airport. It was really a happy feeling. I told myself “now, I am moving on.”

My class ended already. It’s time to go home now. I thought about Sehun saying to myself

“I don’t want to walk out this school alone.” But I couldn't just tell him let’s go home together and decided I must train myself to be independent.

Confidently, I walked out the room until I reached the university gates.

“Now you are here, let’s go home now.”
