Perhaps not every dream we can achieve, but must always believe that we live for a reason.
This morning, right after Krystal found the entire house was going to the airport to take Kai's departure to Germany according to Grandpa's request to continue school there, his heart throbbed in pain.
"Same Lady nganter den Emperor to the Airport. Great Lord too, they departed already from dawn earlier, non."
"To Airport? What's for?"
"Loh.. non don't know yet? The Emperor's den is going to Germany today, continue to school there."
Krystal's eyes were perfectly rounded as bi Sumi's sentence buzzed in her ears. Krystal's body trembled, and her legs took a step back limply. She's surprised.
Wouldn't Kai's departure to Germany be done after the School Exams are over? But why does it all feel so sudden? Why does it seem as if everyone is covering this up from her, and Krystal finds even more painful, when it's just herself, the person in this house who doesn't know that.
Without poking at Sumi's call, Krystal hurriedly left the dining room towards the gate of the house. Intentions wanted to go straight to the airport and meet Kai, but Krystal had trouble getting a taxi inside the housing complex.
Krystal is upset, she has to get to the airport as soon as possible to see Kai. Krystal wasn't quite ready with the sudden departure of the guy like this. At least, let him see Kai and say goodbye for the last time.
Whoever, help him now.
Tin..
The sound of the car horn from behind her purse made Krystal turn her head. His gaze slightly blurred because it was blocked by tears that reminisced in the eye pelupuk.
Krystal's forehead immediately frowned confused, especially as soon as the driver of the car got out of his car.
"Run in, I'm anter lo to the airport."
He blinked a few times, trying to wake himself up if he did not mistakenly recognize the person.
"Sister Airin?"
"Let's hunt, there's no time."

Like a cloud that hangs when the certainty of rain falls. Krystal hopes the steel bird that brought Kai delays his flight schedule. Hoping that his encounter with Kai this time is truly allowed by fate.
I swear by anything, Krystal can't deny her feelings. He really wanted to meet Kai. Only once. It doesn't matter if you have to see the guy from a distance.
"Lo come in first, I'll find parking first."
Krystal nodded quickly and got out of the car as soon as Airin stopped his car at the Outer Negri departure gate.
"Kerry.." Airin held onto Krystal's arm, and made the girl turn her head, "gue hope you see Kai."
Krystal felt the turmoil of her heart shake when she heard Kai's name called, even her tears had flowed profusely making some of her face look wet and damp.
"Thank you, brother." His word.
After walking on the airport floor, Krystal sped up to the Boarding Lounge. He ran like a madman, bumping into some passersby there. Several times Krystal glanced at her watch along with the pounding heart that had been rumbling ever since.
Krystal ignored everything around her. No matter the many eyes that looked at him questioningly. Krystal panic. His breathing was stingy and cold sweat began to flood his face.
"Kai.." he said over and over.
Krystal was really upset. His mind was filled with Kai's face. He wanted to see her, wanted to hug the guy for a moment. There are a few things Krystal should tell Kai, at least let him say that he will be okay, and Kai should be happy there.
Krystal's mind was dead-end. He ran as fast as he could, crossing the crowd of passers-by. Several times Krystal had to apologize to other visitors when her feet accidentally nudged their luggage.
"Crystal!" His steps came to a halt as soon as he found Sean and Chandra's body at the entrance of the Boarding Lounge.
"Air, Chandra.. Where's kai?" Krystal asked as she adjusted her irregular breathing, she then swept her gaze across the building.
Krystal's head turned in all directions, looking for Kai's whereabouts. He tried to recognize the one-on-one faces of the visitors who were there.
"Sean?" Krystal spoke again, trying to find answers from the two guys in front of her. "My answer." Her voice trembled, she wished she could still meet Kai before the plane took the boy away from her.
Meanwhile, Sean and Chandra were only able to exhale their heavy breaths. Fifteen minutes ago, Kai's plane took off, and he had already managed to let a piece of his heart break while taking the girl off for good.
"Sean, tell me I'm not too late? Kai hasn't left yet, has he?" Sean's inertia made Krystal even more furious, her heartbeat pounding hard. "Chandra, do you know where Kai is?"
"The plane left fifteen minutes ago."
Krystal fell to the floor with a blurry look. His shoulders shook violently with tears flowing without ever being prevented.
"Kerry.." Sean held onto Krystal's shoulder, giving a gentle swab to calm her down. "Don't cry, Kai would not like to see you like this."
Krystal shook her head, staring at Sean with a puddle of tears. "I'm evil with me, Sean. Why did he have to leave without telling me. In a minute, I just want to see him. Even Kai didn't give me a chance to say goodbye."
Sean grimaced to see Krystal's body shaking from her cries. Sean knew, this girl in front of him must be very broken. Kai's decision can't be said to be wrong, but seeing Krystal like that doesn't feel like he has the heart.
"Kai deliberately do not know about this departure, Kai is afraid that if he squirms, he will undo his intention to go to Germany." Chandra paused his sentence for a while, before then sticking out his hand to give him a roll of paper and a piece of neatly folded letter. "Take this for you."
Krystal's hand shook accepting that, she stared at him blankly. Believe me, no one in the world would be okay with a breakup, let alone a part of his happiness.
"I haven't told Kai to take good care of himself. Kai should always smile, he deserves to be happy." The crying broke again. He looked at it with those paper scrolls. "I love you, Kai."
Now, his happiness has gone, and Krystal knows it's best for them.

Krystal had no intention of doing anything today. She simply shut herself in the room, cried, then fell asleep, and woke up with a dizzy throbbing head and puffy eyes.
Her tears always flowed every time she thought of Kai. Krystal drifted away in grief, and always blamed herself for the boy's departure. In his head always spinning words, had I not been born, surely Kai would not have gone far from his family.
Sumi banged her room a few times to ask Krystal about her lunch, but she was reluctant to eat anything after her heart was drained by Kai half today.
The clock was at 5 p.m., and Krystal had not touched any food at all. He's not hungry, Krystal just keeps thinking about Kai. What's that guy doing? Have you eaten or not? Did he think the same thing?
In the few seconds that Krystal thought of Kai, her eyes fell on a letter that folded neatly over the nightstand. He almost forgot about that. The letter that Kai had left to Chandra for her.
Krystal got up, took the letter and took it to sit on the floor near the bed. He slowly unfolded the paper and read it.
Krystal's eyes re-glazed as she read the row of words Kai wrote on it.
To my Heart Gem, Krystal.
Sometimes one night I feel lonely. It is as if God is twisting the memory of our first encounters in the past. An encounter I didn't think could have a big impact on my life, which led me to believe that God created man not for himself. You changed everything. You're the first girl to touch my life this deep.
Don't keep feeling guilty about all this. It doesn't matter if you want to vent your anger. Never blame yourself for what you cannot control. Stop feeling guilty. I want you to always be happy, and so do I. Not that I easily change my feelings, but because I know, it's too hard to bury these feelings.
Wish I could fight for everything, and make everything the way I want. But the fact that fate forces us to surrender, pushes us into a pit of misery and requires us to let go of each other.
It might hurt, but I'm sure it's best for you. Although someday we meet with feelings that are no longer the same, but believe what we can in the future, it is the best. This time, you will do all the best for yourself. Let all these flavors settle beautifully, and become memories that you do not easily forget.
Krystal, though,
Thank you for stopping by in my life, bringing a million strange feelings that strangely made my heart unable to stop pounding. I put a piece of my heart in there, and asked the angel to always look after you.
Sorry for all the wounds that have been inflicted. For every tear that falls. Believe me, time will heal. So. please do this for me. Live your day well.
I love you.
Emperors.
His cry broke again, Krystal held the paper while leaning her body on the edge of the mattress. He sobbed, Krystal's heart was so sick. Next to his hand gripped tightly the front of the shirt, trying to dampen the taste.
Old Krystal let her tears fall by constantly mentioning Kai's name, until then she remembered about the paper scroll Kai gave her along with the letter. Hurriedly Krystal wiped her tears, then grabbed the scroll and opened it slowly.
Krystal's heart skipped a beat again as she looked at the sketch of her face scratched on the paper. Krystal remembers, Kai once promised to make himself a face sketch again, and the guy did it today.
Krystal's smile expanded, enjoying her own facial expression. Kai painted his smiling face wide, appearing once in the sketch if Krystal was in love and happy. Different from his current self, empty and hollow.
Krystal highlighted the painting with a look of admiration. It is undeniable that if Kai is indeed very talented in this matter, anyone who sees the sketch will definitely smile.
"Thank you." His hands stretched out to gently rub each pencil stroke on the paper. "I promise to live my life well."
Krystal's smile slightly gasped as she looked at the writing on the right end of the paper. Kai once said that Krystal was the only person he could paint, and that only Krystal was his imagination.
Krystal realized, she and Kai were indeed met in the wrong circumstances. Not because they were a mistake, but only that fate was not on the side of the two.
Like I said, we live for a reason. Krystal understood, even though one of the reasons had gone, but she still had to continue her dream, had to keep going. He will try to reorganize his heart to make it whole again, and stop blaming himself for an impartial destiny. Because that's what real life is like.
You are my greatest imagination
