I put back my phone on the table beside the bed. I sighed. What I have to do now?

"Ri-"

Suddenly she pushed a hug on me. "Yo-you surprised me."

"What were you two talking about?" She mumbled in my arms. I smiled. She was so cute. My girlfriend was super cute. I knew it. This was the right choice that I choose.

"Hmm... that was..."

I told her everything. Everything that Karina told me on the phone. All about 'her'.

"What do you want to do know?" She asked.

That was a hard question to answer.

"To be honest, I don't know." I looked down. "I'm afraid. I'm afraid to meet her in person."

"Why" She asked. "Are you afraid because you still have feelings for her?"

I nodded. I didn't want to lie to her. Of course, I still had feelings for her. How could I forget her just like that?! She always lingering in my heart this past 4 years.

"Did you lie about your feeling for me?"

"What?! Of course not!" I looked deep in her eyes. "I'm serious about you. I love you more than her."

She looked away didn't want to look at me. "So? What do you want to do know?" She asked me that again.

"Come with me Rika."

"What?!" Our eyes met.

"Come with me," I repeated it.

She was smiling. Leaned her face to mine. "I can't." She answered.

"So-sorry." Sad? Yeah I was sad, but I understand why she couldn't come with me.

"Hey, don't say that. I can't now, but I promise someday I will come."

"Alright then." I smiled back at her. I sighed. "I will go back to my country for a while. Like Rin said, she still my friend. I want to help her if I can. Is that ok?"

She pinched my cheeks so hard "Ahhh...it hurts Rika." I grabbed her hand and tried to release it from my cheeks.

"Stupid Mei!" She released it.

"Nghh.." I rubbed my cheeks. It seriously really hurts. It hurts more than the last time she did that.

"I don't want you to go." She pulled my shirt. "Don't go." She mumbled.

I grinned. She was super cute when so honest like this. I pushed her down, which made my body above her.

"Me-Mei!"

"If you say it with that kind of face, how could I say no." Damn! My face couldn't stop grinning.

She put her arms around my neck, pulled me towards her. She smells so nice.

"Promise me, Mei."

"What promise?"

"Promise me, you don't leave me."

"Yeah, I pro-"

Suddenly my phone was ringing again. What happen with today?! Why was my phone always ringing not at the right time?!

"Your phone always disturb us huh." She said.

"Ahahaha you can say." I woke up and grabbed my phone from the table. I looked at the screen "Hm? My mom?" I sat on the edge of the bed. "Yes Mom, what happened? You rarely call me in this time."

Shit! How could I forget about that?! My mom was so close to her, of course, mom will do something if that happened to her.

"Sorry Mom, I still ha-"

She cut me. In the end, I only silent and heard what she said. I sighed.

"Ok Mom. Yea... ok..." I nodded. "What? Tomorrow?! Why all of a sudden?" I complain to her, but of course in the end I couldn't say no. I turned my head to looked at Rikako while listening to what my mom said. "Yes, Mom... I'll check it later. Ok." I moved toward her and sat beside her on the bed. Leaned my head to her shoulder.

"What happen?" She whispered.

"Wait," I whispered back. "Ah, nothing Mom. Ok...Yes, I understand. Good night." She hung up the phone. For a moment it felt like I want to throw away my phone.

"Hey...What happen? I didn't understand at all." She asked.

I sighed. I didn't know how to answer that. I turned looked toward Rikako, hug her.

"Rika..." I whispered at her ear "Stay by my side."

"Hm? Did something happen?"

I didn't want to lie about anything to her. I hate a liar, so I didn't want to become one. I told her everything.

"So, I have to go tomorrow. My mom has bought tickets for us."

"Us?"

"Yup." I tightened my hug "But you can't come with me" I mumbled.

"Someday, I'll come."

"Yeah, I know. It's ok, I just come back home for a while. I'll come back to you as fast as I can." I kissed her cheek. "Let's sleep."

"Promise me." She said.

"What promise?"

"Come back here of course."

"My school start in 2 months, of course I'll come back here." I stuck out my tongue.

"Stupid Mei!"

"Ahahaha sorry sorry." I touch her face, made her looked at me. "I promise." I kissed her pink lips. Her soft lips, I'll definitely miss it.

---

Just like I thought, I couldn't sleep at all last night. It's already 4 AM. After I checked my email, I got my ticket. It was morning schedule, so I had to get ready now.

It still early in the morning, I didn't want to wake her up. Her sleep face was so cute. I'll miss it. I leaned into her face. I kissed her cheek.

"I'll come back to you. I promise."
