Chapter 8.

The next day, when she bullied Suzu, she got surprised what Suzu told her. When Suzu said that she hated her, Rei couldn't help but feel relieved but at the same time, it hurt. She smiled and walked towards Suzu, "Thank you, Suzu. I hope you find your happiness. Please forget about me." When she whispered to Suzu, she was holding her tears and she just walked away from Suzu. When she was faraway enough with Suzu, her eyes burst into tears, After a few seconds, she felt deeply hurt in her heart, dizzy, and she felt hard to breath.

"You really made me worried yesterday. When your teacher said you passed out after you looked for her to call me, she said you told her not to tell anyone about what happened to you yesterday, Is it true?" After Rei woke up, her mother kept checking on her. Rei nodded to the question; she doesn't have the strength to talk. Rei hope that her teacher will keep her promise. "I see. You really don't want Suzu know anything. Alright then, I will make sure that your teacher doesn't talk or tell to anyone about what happened to you yesterday. I will go to your school to settle everything and I already talked with your father about what we've planned; he's agreed with that.

After Yumika went to the school to settle everything about her daughter, she went to meet Suzu's mother. They talked about their daughters, that made them lose tracks of time. "I'm really sorry about Suzu, Ayano." Yumika feels sorry about Suzu, even though her daughter hurts more than Suzu. "No, it's okay. Besides the ways of Rei bullies her, it's not that bad. If there are other students, Suzu will have a scar or a trauma. But right now, she's fine." When Yumika heard about that, she felt like her daughter really loved Suzu. 'If I were her, it's pain to watch someone that you love keep bullying by yourself.'

A few days later, a news that Rei and her mother go to America got informed by her teacher to the class. When Suzu heard about that, she didn't know how she felt. It's truth that she hated Rei for keep bullying her but she's not going to lie and say that she will miss Rei.

A few days later, they're all acting like nothing happened before. Unfortunately, not for Suzu; she still clearly remembers what has happened. When she was at home, she asked her mother about Rei, but her mother said that she didn't know anything about what happened to Rei. It's been 3 weeks since Rei went abroad, and Suzu still doesn't know what actually happened to Rei. Without her knowing, she never asked her mother anymore about Rei.
