Living With the Dream
Section.29

"I don't have any ideas, so it's up to you. I'll follow you"

"Really ?"

"Yes" he said slowly

For a moment Amanda was silent thinking of a place she thought was very peaceful. Not long after he pulled Nadia's hand.

"Where are you going ?" Nadia asked confused as her hand was pulled away.

"Shut up, and just follow" Amanda said with a fluffy smile.

Nadia resigned, she just followed Amanda without doing any more protest. Amanda took her to a place so far from the beginning, Nadia was really confused actually Amanda would take her where, but she did not dare to ask.

Not long after, they finally arrived at their destination. Ah, naw. It means the place Amanda was headed. The place was very peaceful and quiet. Everything felt peaceful in this place, as if all the burden they felt instantly disappeared in this place. Nadia stared in awe at the place, maybe for others this place was ordinary but not for her.

"Beautiful is not "Said Amanda broke Nadia's daydream.

"Very"

"How do you know this place ?"

Amanda was silent for a moment.

"Someone told me this place"

"Someone ?"

"Have forgotten it. Don't we want to relax in this place, so let's do it. With calm"

Nadia obviously wanted to know who someone she meant, but she did not want to ask further. Because he knew Amanda would never tell him who it was.

Finally Nadia could only feel the peace of this place.

"Nad"

"Hmmm"

"If someday, I can't be with you anymore. How ?"

Nadia who initially closed her eyes, slowly opened her eyes. He did not understand the words of his friend.

"You mean ?"

"If one day I have to go far away, and can't be with you how ?"

"You're going ?"

"When it happens"

"Where ?"

"Huh "

Amanda looked at the blue sky that reconciled within her.

"Far, very far away" he said, still looking at the blue sky

"For what ?" Nadia also looked at the blue sky that Amanda was staring at

"Pursuing my love "

Hearing that, he could only remain silent. If he could he'd forbid Amanda to go far away from him, but what will he do. He and Amanda are just friends and nothing more.

"Do"

"Huh ?"

"If it's to reach your goal of doing, reach until what you want is accomplished"

"But if I do, we won't be together like this" he said with a sad bow

Nadia looked at Amanda gently, she had no idea what she meant to Amanda.

With a gentle smile, she made Amanda look in the eye.

"When are you going ?" Ask gently

"Later, if we've graduated school"

"That's waiting isn't the time of this time. So, let's spend some time together while we can."

Amanda just looked at Nadia with sadness, why just thinking about it made her heart feel heavy to leave her. Amanda considers Nadia not only as a friend, but she already considers her as her own sister, even though they were not born from the same womb and mother but Amanda loved Nadia very much.

Amanda slowly hugged gently as if this was their last day together. Nadia returned the embrace of her friend gently.

"Don't cry, this isn't the end" she said by stroking Amanda's back gently

Not stopping

her crying, Amanda even tightened her embrace.

Today they were filled with tears. For some reason, the moment he said it felt so heavy for him, it was hard to leave his friend who was always there for him at all times.

The orange sky has shown its beauty to two friends who are still the same silent. Not a word came out of their mouths, they were just as mute.

Suddenly Nadia got up from her seat and stretched her arms. Amanda who saw that just looked at him confused. Nadia turned her back to such a beautiful twilight and looked at Amanda with her gentle smile.

"It's a beautiful twilight isn't it"

The hijab worn by Nadia looks very beautiful, let alone blown by the peaceful afternoon wind.

"But---"

"When are we here ? It's late afternoon and it's time to go home "he said by extending his hand to Amanda.
