Will I ever see her again?

-=×=-

Rhea frowned, and knitted her little young eyebrows upon her bestfriend who was telling about her departure. She had no choice but to follow her parent's decision. Rhea was helpless since it's their choice. Being selfish doesn't suit her list.

The person who have been more worried was Erika. She'll miss her very bestfriend. She don't seem to concern about her going their hometown for few years since she had many friends there. She can't accept the fact knowing that Rhea be lonely here. Would it be lonely for her when she leaves?


Melancholy and anxiety were now consumed their little minds.

For Rhea, a huge part of her was  saddened about the fact of her departure. She stood awkwardly and took few glances of Erika who was talking to her parents then, bite down her lower lip.

Rhea surely gonna miss her.

It was graduation day for her 3rd grade. Everyone were preparing to leave. Some were smiling and some were grinning. One of the honor students almost leapt with glee and jumped to their mother's arms as they hold their medals to show them  how happy they were from gaining it.

Rhea looked down to her medal that had displayed 9th place. She clutched it tightly as many thoughts repeated  into her mind.

It isn't enough.

She tilted her head and glanced at her mother who was busy having conversation with Erika's mother. They seemed so close. She just hopes her friendship with Erika would be stronger to make her stay for her until highschool if that was okay.

She shook her head. No, she can't be that greedy. She told herself.

As soon as they noticed they're only few people left in the area. They gave eachother's farewells and left the place. Erika went inside to her father's car after her mother came in. She had never forget to wave a hand at Rhea before she closes the door.

The car was now disappeared on her sight.

Little Rhea looked her bestfriend's back and remembered her last smiling face that was thrown her earlier. Rhea thought deeply,

Maybe, just maybe..

This isn't our last goodbye.

Things will change in the future.

We will meet again.
