Separated

The final school exams have arrived. Bryan seemed very excited about the exam. I know he doesn't want to disappoint Dad. I have given up, if this is the best I will be willing to live my life for the next few years without his help. This only lasted for a few years after that for sure we would get together again.
The graduation announcement took place when we were declared graduates. Everyone seemed happy to welcome him.
"Wow... we finally graduated from high school, so happy! I'm going to try to register as a prospective student at Oxford. What about you guys?" Edward asked.
"I will enter the University of London and will major in law," answered Jimmy.
"Wow... studying law must be difficult! What about Clara?" Sully asked.
"I want to enroll at the University of London too and will try to major in musical arts."
"Suddenly I like playing music since I met Bryan. What about you, Anka?"
"I... I don't know where I'm going," I answered unenthusiastically.
"You're sick, aren't you?" Clara asked.
"N... no, I... I... I'm just confused about what to do!"
"Anka, aren't you good at painting? Your painting at that time was entered into a painting exhibition. Why don't you just become a painter?" Kimberly asked.
"Yes, I remember a painting depicting a woman playing the piano and nearby there were two small children," continued Edward.
"That's a very good painting, the famous painters who came to the exhibition were amazed to see your work. It looks so real and alive."
"Re...really?" I asked.
"Yes Anka, you are really great. We will all support you. Even though Bryan won't be there in the future, we will always be there when you need us. Don't be afraid!"
"Thanks guys!" I said with a smile.
"Well... that's how it is, Anka's smile is really cute, isn't it?" praised Edward.
I'm happy because my friends support me, maybe they're right. I don't need to be afraid of loneliness because I have friends.
"Anka...!" called Bryan.
"Wh... why?"
"I looked everywhere for you, but you're here? Now do you know what to do?"
"Yes, I will enter the University of London and major in painting. I want to become a famous painter," answered enthusiastically.
"Thank God, that's just my sweet little sister. You have to keep your spirits up! Tomorrow I will go to the police dormitory at 10 am, I will go by train."
"Wow... that fast, huh? Tomorrow we will take you to the station," said Edward.
"Thank you, I'm very happy. Now I will treat you to a meal before I leave tomorrow. Do you want it?"
"Wow... my pleasure!" said Edward happily. Other friends also joined in the excitement. Bryan must have thought this was a farewell party for him before leaving tomorrow. I didn't expect this to be our last day playing together.

The day of parting came too. Me, Clara and other friends accompanied Bryan to the station. My father couldn't come because he had work to do. My friends gave Bryan encouragement while I could only look down sadly at his departure. I'm very sad, maybe what I feel right now is not just sadness but destruction, my heart is very broken.
"Anka, are you okay?" Bryan asked looking worried about me.
"Y...yeah, I'm fine!" I answered forcing myself.
"I will try to contact you, don't worry. Your friends will definitely accompany you."
"Yes Anka, don't be sad. We still have us, right?" said Kimberly.
"I...I'm not sad."
"Is it true?" Bryan doubted me.
"Yes!" I answered looking down while holding back my tears.
"Why are you silent?"
"Aren't you sad about parting with me?" I asked.
"That's stupid beyond question," he replied.
"Stupid thing? That means I'm not important to you so even when you're apart from me you don't feel anything."
"Anka, listen to me? I don't need to show my sadness to you. I'm trying to be strong so that you can be strong too. I really love you more than myself," said Bryan, looking into my eyes. His eyes filled with tears.
"I... I really love you too!" I said, unable to hold back the tears that were starting to flow.
"Anka, I promise that after all this passes we will always be together like before. I will always pray for your happiness."
"Yeah, you promise, right?" I asked while sobbing. All my friends cried too.
"I promise!" said Bryan while hugging my body.
The sound of the train started to sound, a sign that the train was about to leave. Bryan immediately came in and stood in front of the door. Slowly but surely the train started to move, I ran to catch the train, little by little Bryan's face began to disappear and move away with all the prayers I sent to him.
"Be careful... be careful! Brother, fight...!" I shouted while running and waving my arms. After that the train was no longer visible. I sat weakly while taking a deep breath.
"Anka, shall we go home?" said Clara while stretching out her hand.
"Yes ...!" I answered. Every now and then I look back and wish Bryan was still here.
