Chapter 67: Last Page

She just moved but did not open her eye. "Hey! Wake up! It's noon!" I shouted softly in its ear. She immediately got up and looked at me for a long time, and after a while, her forehead was furrowed.

 "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 we can talk."
 
 "What for?"
 
 I first took a deep breath. "I'm not going to graduation later."
 
 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."
 
 I smiled sadly. "I'm really sorry, Bree."
 
 "What else can I do?"
 
 I picked up a box in my bag. "Before I leave, can you give it to William later?"
 
 Bree picked it up and opened it. "A 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?"
 
 I shook my 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 him 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 our house?"
 
 I 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 me tightly. "Be careful there. Maybe later you'll do something bad there. "
 
 "Excuse me, I'll be a good student there, trust me." I smiled, but suddenly my tears flowed.

 I rubbed my cheek and let go of Bree's embrace. "You just have to think about what to say about that necklace. Just be careful here. " I got up and went out of Bree's room and even into her house, and I cried all my tears because of how I felt now, no matter how far away I was. I stopped and looked at the sky. "May he be happy wherever he is now." I wiped the remaining tears from my eyes and started walking home.

While suddenly holding his left chest where the heart was, William 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.

 Time passed; Daniella's clothes were ready to be taken, and by that time, the students were already at school. 
 
 Bree and William were already sitting in their reserved seats, but when William looked around at the female students, he did not see Daniella sitting there. His forehead furrowed, and all the seated female students in his classroom looked at him, but he couldn't really see Daniella. 

 The graduation march began to play, as did the graduation ceremony, but William's attention was still on where Daniella was. He can't focus, so he just does what his classmates do. Shortly afterwards, the graduation march ended, and the next was the speech of teachers, guest speakers, principals, and students with honors. It all ended when William didn't see Daniella, and he also didn't hear her name called, so he was very confused. 
 
 The ceremony is over, and some are already coming out of the school gate, but Bree first finds William to give Daniella's gift. Bree saw William in the garden, where Daniella and she were always, and the place where Daniella and William had a moment. Bree noticed that he was just staring at a chair where Daniella’s seat was always there. 
 
 She slowly approached behind William. "Congratulations!" she greeted him.
 
 He immediately turned to her. "Thank you!" William wanted to ask something more, but he couldn't. Bree noticed it immediately, so she started talking about Daniella. 
 
 "Are you looking for her?"
 
 William averted his eyes, so she smiled a little at his reaction. "Trust me, William, we're going to leave this school after all, and as far as I can see, you're not going to be a college student in our area either. Did you have feelings for Daniella?" 

 William was stunned and blinked his eyes several times. "You can't answer. The answer is simple—yes or no—but why is it so hard for you to choose? "
 
"Because it's really hard to choose if there are only two options because it takes the right amount of time and thought before answering, you know my answer was right."

 
 Bree scratched her head at William's answer. "We're all graduates. You're still showing that you're the valedictorian of this graduation. " She had just shaken her head. "But if you're looking for her and you're wondering, Daniella didn't really go to the graduation ceremony."
 
 "Why?"
 
 Bree looked sadly at the sky. "By this time, they might be on the plane and leaving."
 
 William frowned at what she had said. "Leaving, plane?"
 
 "Yes, now they are leaving for the province. They need a plane or ship to get there."
 
 "Why didn't she attend graduation first before they left?"
 
 "Because that's what she wanted, I said that maybe it could be just after graduation, but she said the ceremony might be long and it might be time for the flight between Daniella and auntie. "
 
 "What will she do there?"
 
"That's because she's going to go to college and won't come back here. If she comes back, maybe a few years before she can come back. "
