Meet to part

"Then please enjoy"

Jack nodded with a smile towards Alma's mother. Both of his eyes looked at Mrs. Yulia with warmth, from her face alone Jack knew very well that Mrs. Yulia was indeed a good person. After that Mrs. Yulia came out, she did not want to disturb the conversation of Alma and her friends.

"Please drink the tea," continued Alma.

"Yes Alma" Jack then took the hot tea, he continued to drink it.

"Your mother's tea is delicious too," said Jack.

"Cooking? The feeling of all tea tastes the same" Alma continued.

"I'm serious," continued Jack.

"In a moment I also want to drink, whether Jack's assessment is correct or just flattering with the aim of getting your attention," continued Doctor Rina. He then drank the hot tea, Rina's doctor closed his eyes while enjoying the unique aroma that came out.

Meanwhile, Alma had been curious about Rina's doctor's assessment "How?" Ask Alma.

Doctor Rina was still silent while nodding her head "It was really amazing" answered doctor Rina.

"Seriously it tastes great?" Alma didn't believe it.

"Yes seriously, that's a sign that my tongue and Jack are both connoisseurs of taste"

"Yes, Rina's doctor is right," continued Jack.

"Arghhh... you two are weird huh. The feeling of this tea tastes normal. But that's okay, maybe this is the first time you guys drink tea with a different taste. But I actually wanted to ask the two of you"

"Ask about what?" Asked Jack and doctor Rina in unison.

"About your coming home"

"Would it be wrong if we both came?" asked Jack.

"Nothing wrong, but I'm just confused"

"You don't need to be confused Alma, because this is a normal incident," said Jack.

"Yeah too"

"Please the two of you just talk. I'll be out for a while" said Rina's doctor, he also deliberately gave Alma and Jack time to let them talk more freely.

"Where are you going?" Ask Alma.

"I want to get some fresh air, because it's really hot inside," said Doctor Rina.

"I have a fan inside. You don't have to go out, I'll get it later" said Alma.

"You don't have to, Alma. You know that I don't really like using a fan."

"Okay, if that is the case"

After Rina's doctor left, Jack started to open his conversation "Alma earlier I want to apologize. Maybe you think that I am presumptuous to come to your house without permission. I also don't mean to make you think anything wrong. just to say goodbye to you. Because my parents suddenly came to the city center to ask me to go home. Honestly, I don't really want to go back because I still have a lot of work to do, it's just that I don't have any other choice" Jack explained everything to Alma to avoid misunderstandings.

Alma was pensive hearing all of Jack's words "Where are you going home? Why so fast? Why don't you ask your mother and father to live with you here?" Alma asked many questions for Jack.

"Where should I answer first?" Jack said while stroking his hair.

"My questions are too many huh?"

"Not really"

"Then why are you confused to answer?"

"Yes I will answer now. I live in the United States, I was born there and raised there. My mother and father do not want to live here, he prefers to live in his own country because he is more comfortable. I have lived a long time. in the city center, it's just that we just met. I will leave this afternoon, because my mother and father have already booked tickets for me"

Hearing the country of America gave Alma goosebumps. He remembered his dark past. Alma was also confused about what else to respond, he was also surprised at Jack who suddenly wanted to go home.

"Alma why are you silent?" asked Jack while waving his hand right in Alma's face.

Alma was surprised "Yes Jack!" Saut Alma.

"Hey you why?" Asked Jack "Your face turned pale" Jack looked worried.

"I don't mind Jack"

"But you looked relaxed and fine. Why suddenly your face is so pale? Are you sick?"

"I'm fine Jack"

"Or you're worried because I'm going far away" Jack was misunderstood.

"You mean?"

But Jack felt uncomfortable joking like that with Alma. He was afraid to make Alma reminisce about his past "Forget it! We should discuss something else, because I was just joking earlier".

"No problem. Looks like it's late" Alma continued.

"Gosh I almost didn't notice!" Jack slapped his forehead.

"Aren't you going back to the city center again?" Ask Alma.

"For that matter, I don't know clearly. Alma, thank you for wanting to be friends with me. Even though our meeting looks a little strange, because we never planned this before. We always meet in a unique way. Honestly, I'm very happy to meet you Because you are a kind, friendly person and also you are a very strong woman. If the universe allows us to meet again, it will definitely happen. But if the universe does not allow us to meet in the future, then you must never forget me even though as a person that's not important. Then I'll excuse myself Alma" said Jack.

Somehow hearing Jack's last words made Alma feel sad. He was about to cry, but he tried to hold back the tears. Alma is sad not because she likes Jack, but she is sad because she has to be separated from Jack who has done a lot of good for her.

"You be careful, Jack. Wait a minute I want to get something first" Alma then went into her room, after returning she gave Jack a small doll with dark brown color. The doll looks cute and sweet.

"I can only give you this doll as a memento. Sorry because I don't have anything more" said Alma while handing it to Jack.

Jack slowly reached out his hand, he touched the doll from Alma's hand "Thank you Alma. I promise to always take care of this doll"

"You're welcome Jack. You be careful" said Alma.

"Yes Alma" Jack then said goodbye, Alma escorted Jack to the front. Doctor Rina also went home with Jack. He was brought to his house. While Alma feels that he has lost the figure of Jack, now there are no friends of Alma anymore.

He stood in front of his house, staring at the gate. After Jack's car was far away, he then went into his house.
