Chapter 69 Goodbye
A few days later, and it was time for Daniella’s graduation day, Alexa was looking at the sky from her bedroom window before looking at the book. “When I sat down again and held the pen, it was also the last time I wrote in the book. The end of the story will happen now. ” She slowly sat down and grabbed the ballpoint pen and pressed the end of it against the page of the book again. She took a deep breath and began to move her hands again to write.
“Daniella, why did you wake up so early? Your graduation will be later,” her mother asked.
“Our flight to the province will be later, right?” “Yes, after your graduation.” “I decided to just get my diploma and not march for graduation later.” Maria was surprised at what she said. “Why? You can still attend graduation because we have another two hours before our flight.”
She smiled. “Maybe the ceremony will take a long time; is it okay that we can’t go?” “It’s okay, but didn’t you dream of walking to the stage and getting your diploma there while the teacher handed it to you?” “There’s still college. I’ll just get it back there.
Maria just sighed. “If that’s what you want, it’s okay and you’re happy with your decision.” “Thank you! I’m leaving Mom. I’ll be at school for a while, then I’ll let Bree know. ” “All right, be careful.” “Yes, Mom.” She went to school and made up her mind to just get her diploma and not go on stage or attend a graduation ceremony.
A few more minutes and she will be at school. She also saw that the seats and the stage were arranged. She smiled sadly as she saw how happy the other students were on the way to the stage, but it was final and there was nothing to go back to for what she said to her mother. She knocked on a classroom door. Fortunately, her adviser was there and she was alone at that time. She saw her. “Daniella, what are you doing here? You should be preparing for the graduation ceremony later because this is your last day in high school. ” I smiled a little. “I know that, ma’am, but I won’t be able to attend the graduation ceremony later.” Its forehead was furrowed. “Why not? For a student, graduation day is the happiest because it means you’re done and you’ve succeeded for four years in high school. ” “I’m happy now even though I can’t walk to the stage. If only I could get my diploma now. My mother and I are also leaving later for the province, so I decided not to attend the graduation ceremony. ” “Are you sure about that?” I nodded. “I’m sure.” She took the diploma out of the drawer and saw that it had her name on it. “If you are sure that this is really your diploma when you enter college, you will be able to attend the graduation ceremony. It’s fun even if the lessons are very stressful sometimes, but it’s worth it, even when you go up on stage. “She smiled at her.
“In college, ma’am, I will make sure that even if the teacher doesn’t want me to graduate, I will actually go to the graduation ceremony.” She was still joking.
“That should be the mindset if you know all your grades are okay, but good luck on your journey to the province. Will you also study at the college there?” “Yes.” Her teacher took some papers again from inside the drawer. “Go ahead and bring it. It also has the principal’s signature, so you can pick it up. I forgot to say, if you are studying in the province, you need the report card and documents from this school. Bring them with you so that you don’t have to come back here if you are going far into the province.” “Thank you, ma’am.” “Nothing, I have to go out as well, because I’m with those who fix it outside.” “All right, thank you again here ma’am, I’m leaving too.” She walked away from the classroom and re-examined the gym and stage before leaving the school.
As Daniella walked slowly, she thought of William and how she tried to forget it, but her heart was treacherous, so her brain would be the first thing she would do now because otherwise, it would break and there would be a wound that was too big and she was afraid to go back to the past if this was what she would do whenever William was around. The day passed that she never really tried to talk it out about what happened at J’s prom. The only conversation the two of them had was about tutoring, but the more he talked about how she felt she never tried to convey to William. It’s also better that she did that so she can move forward faster.
She stopped opposite Bree’s house. “Bree!” she shouted vigorously. Bree’s mother came out.
“It’s still early, Daniella. Bree is still asleep.” “I’m sorry, aunt, I just need to tell Bree something.”
“You just went into her room. The door is not locked. You’ll wake her up because it’s late and she hasn’t eaten breakfast yet.” “All right, aunt, thank you!” She went inside the house and went to Bree’s room, and she saw that Bree was still asleep and could almost see because she was wrapped in a blanket and the pillow was on her face.
She sat down next to it and tried to wake up. “Bree, it’s noon. Wake up and eat. “She even shook her arm.
It just moved but did not open the eye. “Hey! Wake up, it’s noon!” She shouted softly in its ear. She immediately got up and looked at her for a long time, and after a while, her forehead was furrowed.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
“What are you, Daniella, the sweetness of my sleep? Why did you wake me up? ” “It’s noon.” “Then why are you arriving so early if graduation is later? Are you excited?” “That’s why I came here, so you can talk.” “What for?” She first took a deep breath. “I’m not going to graduation anymore.” Bree’s eyes widened. “What, why?” “We had a flight later and I decided not to just go to the graduation ceremony.” “Why don’t you go? What time is your flight? ” “After graduation, but just in case I attend, it might be time for our flight, so I just won’t go.” Bree fixed her hair. “Why so fast? Why are you going to the province right away?” “It’s a coincidence that it’s on the same day as graduation.” Bree sighed. “You didn’t even wait to see me cry while going up on stage.” She smiled sadly. “I’m really sorry, Bree.” “What else can I do?” Daniella picked up a box in her carry-on bag. “Before I leave, can you give it to William later?” Bree picked it up and opened it. “Necklace?” “Yes, I’ve had that for a long time and I don’t have the courage to give, but now I’m going to leave it to you and it’s up to you to give.” “But I thought..” “I’ll forget about him.” Bree nodded. “I’ve been wanting to give that for a long time, so it’s okay that even if we don’t talk much anymore, I can just give my gift and I’m happy.” “Why don’t you just give it to him?” She shook her head several times. “I don’t want to, because my heart might just betray me and I don’t want that to happen, so you just give it to me later.” Tears welled up in Bree’s eyes. “Are you really sure you don’t want to study here, even if you just live here in my house?” She smiled and wiped Bree’s tears from her cheeks. “Don’t worry, I’ll call you, and when I have the chance, I’ll come back here to visit.” Bree hugged her tightly. “Be careful there. Maybe later you’ll do something bad there. ” “Excuse me, I’ll be a good student there, trust me.” She smiled, but suddenly her tears flowed.
She rubbed her cheek and let go of Bree’s embrace. “You just have to think about what to say about that necklace. Be careful here. ” She got up and went out of Bree’s room and even into her house. And she cried all her tears because of how she felt now, no matter how far away she was. She stopped and looked at the sky. “May he be happy wherever he is now!” She wiped the remaining tears from her eyes and started walking home.
As William was held on the left chest where the heart was, He touched it and wondered. “Why did it suddenly hurt around here?” He was stunned for a moment, but when the pain subsided, he continued what he was doing.
