Kana hastened her step because the rain dripped out of the blue from the cloudy sky. She looked for a lee to stay and also as a safe place for her. She walked very fast then she found a lonely bus stop that nobody there. She sat down alone as wore her jacket due to her body shivered from cold.

Her eyes only daydreamed to the globule of rain which seemed swarming around. Suddenly, her brain brought her to some memories that made her very mournful so that her particle of tears dropped slowly. “Hira… Where are you? I need you to be back” she screamed loudly and crying. Her heart felt so heavy as if was filled by tons of stone. Nobody understood her chaotic her feeling was. Even, the downpour and wind were very difficult to interpret it. “Ra… Where is your promise? You said you would not leave me forever. I need your presence." Her tears unstoppably gushed out from her eyes.

“Naa… Slowly. You run too fast” Hira shouted as pursuing Kana that ran very fast in front of him. “Hurry, you must catch me!” she laughed while continuing her running. “Ok. It is not really difficult for me” he said and hastened his step to catch her. It was a simple happiness for them so that they were able to make the day became such a gorgeous day. The vibe also supported their togetherness because at that time was a cloudy day and the sunlight was a little bit shut by a couple of charcoal-dark cloud. So, the fierce of sunlight would not stab their body.

She courageously ran without stopped although the road seemed very hectic in front of her, but she succeeded crossing it. Meanwhile, He still stayed across the street and looked her was waving hand. “Raa... I’m here. Can you catch me?” She yelled from distant. Not long afterwards, he tried to cross the road but when he was in the middle way, suddenly “Brukk” a bus unexpectedly appeared and blundering against him. She was very shocked then approaching him. “Hiraa!” she cried very hard owing to Hira’s body was in gory. Directly, she called ambulance to bring him to hospital.

In the hospital, she still did not stop crying. She holded his hand tightly as gazed over to his face that still in unconsciousness. “Naa…” suddenly his throaty voice sounded vaguely and she was very happy. “Hira. Are you okay?” she inquired with her runny cheek. “Yeah, but I feel my time will not long anymore, Na” he said haltingly. “No. You still have much time. You still will always with me forever” she interrupted. He only nodded and smiled then he started singing a song. “Remember me” his voice was still very melodious then it was followed by her voice.

Remember me

For I will soon be gone

Remember me

Don’t let it make you cry

For even if I’m far away I hold you in my hear

I sing a secret song to you each night we are apart

Remember me*

They faced and smiled each other. “I love you, Kana” he said sincerely then he closed her eyes slowly. She cried and screamed loudly. Her memories always brought her to the beautiful past memories. She was really insincere of his gone.

So, it is life. Nobody knows about its plot. It is God’s secret that arrange in such a manner, so we have to walk on it sincerely because sincere is the best way of everything.
