FAREWELL WITH YOU

Behind the house after Hanin finished washing all the dirty clothes, Hanin went into the house to clean her body to continue her task of selling cakes.

"I have to sell these cakes fast so I can go home in the afternoon." Hanin muttered after she was ready in front of the house with a selling tray in her hand.

With a little energy left Hanin walked quickly to the next village to sell her cake.

"Hanin!" called Rafka who was pedaling his bicycle towards Hanin.

"Come on, I'll take you, I know you want to sell the cakes in the next village where there is now a bazaar." said Rafka with a gentle look.

"I don't want to bother you Raf." Hanin said while tucking her hair between her ears.

"Absolutely not, I will buy all your cakes and we can have fun at the bazaar later." Rafka said with a serious face.

Hanin stared at Rafka for a moment after that without hesitation Hanin climbed on the sling of Rafka's bicycle.

Arriving at the Bazar in the village next to Rafka, looking for a parking space for his bicycle.

"Let's find a comfortable seat, Han." said Rafka who suddenly took Hanin's hand and asked her to find a place that was quiet enough to talk quietly.

Hanin who saw Rafka's unusual attention became a little surprised and a little curious.

"Let's just sit here, Han." said Rafka while sitting on a long bench made of bamboo.

Hanin put down her cake tray, then sat down beside Rafka.

"Hanin, after you graduate where do you want to continue?" Rafka asked seriously.

"I don't know Raf, where are you going?" Hanin asked seriously too.

"I want to move to the city, my father's tenure in this village has ended. Tomorrow morning we will leave for the city. For that I want to meet you for the last time." said Rafka with a sad look on his face.

For some reason Hanin's heart felt sick and sad when she heard that Rafka would move to the city.

"Are we not going to meet again Raf?" asked Hanin in a voice that was almost crying.

"I don't know Han, I'll give you my address in the city so we can exchange news," said Rafka with a sad look.

"I don't have friends anymore like you, Raf." Hanin said with tears running down her cheeks.

Rafka's heart burst into tears when he saw Hanin's tears flowing down her cheeks.

"Don't cry Han, I'm sad when you cry." Rafka said in a trembling voice.

"How can I not cry Raf, only you my best friend who always comforts me when I cry because of my mother's torture especially now that I am forced to marry someone else who is older." said Hanin with tears in her eyes.

"You refused, didn't you, Han?" asked Rafka with a heart full of anger, Hanin's suffering was enough because of her heartless stepmother.

With her crying voice, Hanin told everything that happened, including the play with Hasta.

"Promise me Han, you won't get married before I come to pick you up." Rafka said with a full look on Hanin's face.

Hanin was silent, not understanding what Rafka meant. Besides crying sadly because Rafka will leave her.

"Don't cry anymore Han, you know if you cry your beauty will disappear. Look at me Hanin, I promise you to come back soon and will repay every drop of your tears by marrying you." said Rafka which further made Hanin not understand what Rafka said that he wanted to marry her. Aren't the two of them friends?

"I don't understand what you're saying Raf? can you explain again to me about the meaning of what you said?" Hanin asked with an innocent face.

"I love you Hanin, I love you. Even though I'm still a kid, I can prove that I really mean my feelings," said Rafka, staring at Hanin's face.

Hanin raised her face in disbelief at what Rafka said.

"What are you saying Rafka, we are still small. I'm still talking about this. I'm afraid Mom will be angry if she finds out we're getting close." said Hanin feeling scared with the same feelings as Rafka.

"Why are you afraid Hanin, we have graduated from high school soon we will be in high school. We are grown up and can date even though we are far apart." said Rafka holding Hanin's cold hand.

Hanin's heart fluttered when she saw her hand, it was in Rafka's hand.

"say Hanin you also like me right?" Rafka asked with a serious look.

Hanin swallowed her saliva, not believing what Rafka said.

"I still can't believe this Rafka? I am not beautiful at all and also the child of the poor. How can you love me?" Hanin asked with tears in her eyes.

"I like you because you are very simple and the beauty of your heart makes me like you even more. I want to be your girlfriend Hanin. You want to be my girlfriend?" Rafka asked seriously.

Hanin's face turned red, unable to answer Rafka's question, her heart was very happy, a smile appeared on Hanin's lips.

"Is your smile Hanin's answer?" said Rafka holding Hanin's hand tighter.

Hanin just smiled and blinked her beautiful eyes.

"Rafka, are you not going home at all after being in the city?" asked Hanin feeling sad to be separated from Rafka.

"I promise you that I will always keep you informed. I will study hard in the city so I can pick you up and marry you," said Rafka seriously.

"Rafka, I will always pray that your wishes can come true." said Hanin, returning Rafka's hand.

"It's not just my wish Hanin, you also want us to live together right?" Rafka asked with a smile.

Hanin nodded her head happily.

Rafka's heart was happy then got up from his seat.

"We're going home now Han, I have to get ready to leave tomorrow." said Rafka holding out his hand to help Hanin stand up.

With equally happy feelings, Hanin and Rafka held hands to welcome their new relationship.
