Luke and his mom living in a simple life he is a bagger in one mart while his mother is always alone left at home. Luke's mother is old and can't work that's why luke do not allowing his mother to work too much... Luke is a very responsible person, kind, understanding, and very helpful. He is also a good looking guy but not trying to have a girl friend anymore because he is always remembering his mother situation, he always thinking that if he will having a girl friend, the girl need to understand the way they live, it means all he aspiring to have is true love. That for him true love "accepts him as what he has and understand how he live".
Luke has a female friend named Jamie she is Luke's co-worker in the mart they are friends since they are started working there 1 year ago. Luke and Jamie are always together while break and sometimes together going home because Jamie lives near to Luke's house. Jamie knows a lot about Luke that's why she is comfortable to have friends with Luke. But soon Jamie's family will going to move to live in other place. Luke dont know about it coz Jamie dont want Luke to know it.
One day Luke go to work and when he is in the mart he look for Jamie he ask some of his co-workers but none of them know where she is, their manager heard that he is looking for Jamie and the manager told him that Jamie passed her resignation letter a few weeks ago and the manager told Luke that maybe Jamie will not going to work again in the mart.
Luke really felt shocked on what he was heard. He is thinking why Jamie did'nt told him that she will going to go out. Luke felt sad in the other days to come after what happened. But he still pushing himself to forget what was Jamie did to him even though its hard and too impossible.
Many weeks and months passed but Luke still waiting when Jamie will go back.
Luke is now turned to 21 years old, he is now not so eager to know where does Jamie is_unlike before, but still thinking why and how did Jamie did it to him
One day Luke saw Jamie's uncle named Jack and he tried to ask him if he know where does Jamie living now but uncle Jack said that their family dont have any contact to Jamie's family. Then Luke thank him and go. When Luke walked not too far from uncle Jack, Jack called him and ask to go back and said " wait i remembered that in our last contact to her mother who are looking for help for Jamie, coz she said Jamie got to an fatal accident and in critical condition that time, we give some help and we go to the hospital and we saw a pity situation of Jamie. But after that we lost our contact coz my son lost our phone. Luke shockly answered" oh really !!! did you know sir where could I find her? Jack answered while his eyes is getting waterry by tears" sorry coz I dont know now where they are, ok bye i need to go ... Then Jack and Luke seperate.
Luke is so sad and thinking how his friend now, he can't sleep and cant do something he feel so lost and seemed like so tired. Luke's mother felt that her son is not feeling well that time, she ask Luke on what happened why he is acting like that but Luke did'nt answered his mother's question. He walk and go to his bed and think about his friend Jamie. His tear drop to his bed and his mind is not thinking for anything but Jamie until he fall asleep.

After 2 years Luke is now celebrating his 24th birthday. He is so happy together with his mom and other friends on his house. A small celebration is full of laugh because of his funny friends who are there.
At rainy night after the celebration when Luke is closing the window he saw a lady sitting in a bench outside thier house. He go outside and brought umbrella for the lady he ask the lady who she is, but she doesnt answered. Luke saw that the lady is crying thats why Luke ask her about her problem and again the girl didnt answered. Luke hold her hand to convince the lady to go inside thier house but lady still not answering and moving, she look so paranoid and obviously facing a huge problem. While holding the lady's hand Luke remembered Jamie coz its like his holding his friend's hand that's why he did'nt think anything but to help the lady Luke carry the lady going inside their house and he called his mother to help him assisting the girl. Luke's mother wiped the wet part of the lady's body and while wiping she felt pity to the lady. Luke and his mother wait until the lady fall asleep. In the morning Luke awoke so early he prepared thier breakfast and wait for the two woman to awake also, he eat first because he need to go to work early. He awakened his mother to say goodbye and ask to look for the lady. Luke go out. A while after the lady awoke and Luke's mother told her to eat. While eating Luke's mother ask some question to the lady, Who are you? Luke's mother ask. "Im Jamie ma'am the friend of your son" the lady said. "If you are Jamie the friend of my son who left him before why your face is different than before?". Luke's mother followed question. " I undergo for a total face plastic surgery before coz of the accident that was happened to me before" Jamie said. They talk a lot before Luke came back.
When Luke is there. Luke's mother told him that this lady is his friend that he is looking for a long time. But Luke dont believe quickly, when Jamie saw that Luke do not believing she told him the whole story about why did she leave Luke without knowing him, she said that because she dont want to see Luke sad if she leave but she realize a year after that what she have done is wrong. She also told Luke about the accident that what happened to her before. Because of those stories Luke believed her. Luke did'nt know that his tear is flowing on his cheecks. He hug Jamie so tight and said "When you left me before I realized how much I loved you and I think that love is not just for being us a friends, I love you more than just a friend Jamie. There is no night you havent in my dreams you are always in my mind. I feel so lost when you left me. When i was heard what was happened to you from your uncle Jack I thougt that I will never see you again. Your the only person I felt love like this. I hope you will not leave me again". "Yes Luke i wont do that again, even before when i am here i loved you but i am not telling you coz i know that my family will going to move to other place, thats why now i came back to see you again. I love you Luke" Jamie said.
After that ,Luke ask Jamie what was happened to her why she is outside last night. Then Jamie said that "because i am looking for you then I lost my way and some robber stole my bag, Im so thankful now that in a lot of people who might took me then it was you".
Luke and Jamie are so happy to see each other again.
