Finally!!! After four years of juggling my part time job and studying I can't believe my eyes when I saw my name on the graduating list
"Jinyi!" Yurika looks so happy, we hug each other for a very long time. We both know that even though we are going to the next chapter of ourlives our friendship will never change.
***
Yurika told me that she will pick me up so I don't have to commute on our special day.
I will be alone today because the airfare is very expensive if I ask my grandmother to come and besides the long flight will tire her.
The car will arrive in 5 minutes
"Huh? Is she not in the car?"
I grab my stuff and waited for Yurika downstairs
"She's here" I wave and went inside the car
"Yurika today is the...."
"It's been a long time" he said
I just stare at him for a very long time
"My cousin didn't tell you I guess" he smile while driving
"It's been a long time" I shyly said after like 5 minutes
"Yes its been a long time" he said
"Are you here for work again?"
"No, this time it's actually for vacation"
"You will also attend Yurika and Sota's wedding?"
"Aha, she's been pursuing me to attend her wedding and of course I cannot say no"
"Crazy Yurika" I laugh and look outside the window

After the graduation ceremony, Yurika's mom ask us to pose for a picture
"Come here couz" Yurika drag him, he stand between me and Yurika as we smile to the camera
"Okay, now its time to go home and have some dinner"
"My mom's cooking is the best!" Yurika hold on to her mom's arm,
I watch them walk and suddenly miss my family
"Congratulations" he said
"Thank you" I smile
"I have something for you" he hand me the box
"Thank you" I hug the box
***
I call my family after I get home, they are so happy and even cook special food to celebrate my graduation.
I carefully get the box that he gave me after I turn off the computer, I know that my smile is so sweet while I'm opening the box
A pink winter gloves
How did he know that winter cold is too much for me?
"I will wear it when I go to work, I will wear it when I travel, I will wear this and I will be happy"
I can't help but smile as I look at the graduation picture with him and Yurika
