"I... Will graduate from Keyakizaka46."

Everyone shocked in silent as they're staring at someone in front of them. Especially me.
Didn't she said she will be back?
I trust her...
And why she came with this kind of news?
I don't care about her scandal.
I don't care about people that back stabbing her.

"…Techi?" Asked her while staring at me in worried.

"…"

I ran off from here as long as i getting away from the other members. I heard their shouting that calling me to get back. But i don't care.

"Techi stop!" Manaka calling for me, but i ignored her.

She chased me down but I'm still faster than her. I don't want to see her anymore.
I don't want to know her anymore.
In the end...
Am i going to be alone?

"Techi!" She got held of my hand, but i quickly brushed her off.

"…Would you listen to me first?"

As I just got silent, she grabbed my hand without any intention to let me go.

I want to getting away from her, but she just completely dragged me down somewhere. I tried to brushed her off again, but she's more strong than me. Manaka took me to a small public park.

"…Can you actually look at me right now?"

"No... " I said while looking away from Manaka.

"…Please. I will explain-"

"You promised me that you will comeback to us, not leaving instead."

"Sorry. But... This is the best for me. I have found something that i want to do."

"…Why you can't just leave me alone? In the end... I will be the only one that stay."

She's selfish. Don't she know what i really feels about this?
I thought she's the one that will understand me the most.
But...
I should let her go right?

"…Congratulations. For your graduation, Pippi" I smiled wryly.

Manaka embraces me without any warning although she know that will hurt me. No matter what she do to me.
It will be fine.
As long i said that word...
I will work this out no matter what.
Exactly...
What's wrong with me today?
I don't act like i always behave, crying in silent like this.
I hate it.
I hate the way she embraces me.
I hate the warm of her.
I hate...
The fact that she won't be always by my side anymore.

I move backwards from Manaka, as i didn't want to stay even longer. She just staring at me that whipped my tears away as quick as i can.

"Techi, I-"

"It's getting late. Don't you have a train to catch up with?"

"…Yes." She nodded down.

"Then go. I will be fine by myself." I pushed her back, rushing her to go as fast as she can.

"Do you really fine with me leaving?"

"…You know the answer already right? So why bother asking?"

"Because I won't know it if you never said anything."

"…So if i said to you not to go, will you do it?"

"That's..."

See?
That's why i don't want to stay even longer with Pippi anymore.
We used to spend times more than this.
But...
I just don't want that to happen today.

"Won't you just go?" Then i just walked away from Manaka as fast as i can.

"I'm sorry that i can't keep my promise..."

I stops about two meters a way without looked at her. Why i bother to see her more if that make me so hopeless again?

"You know that i hate someone that can't keep their promise."

Please come here now.
Walk to me and embraces me all the way.
Like you used to said that "Everything will be alright".
Don't just stand there.
I'm going to completely ignores you...
Move that damn legs!

"Techi... I'm sorry."

I turned around so that i can see her face straight without hiding anymore. I have enough of this.

"…Goodbye for good, Pi-... Shida."

Well... It doesn't matter anymore, right?
Everyone will leave me alone anyway.

********

Don't ask me if I'm fine with Manaka's graduation. 😭
