Chapter 3

N.Z ~ (Cindy's POV)

(AN) Sorry for the long awaits... ;D I'm really busy with school projects so I don't have time to write new post. So, continuing J.L's story, this is mine...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     "Cindy, c'mon! We'll be late," my mom kept on shouting at me.

     "Wait a minute!!! Please...," I beg.

     "What are you waiting for?"

     'Jonathan', I answer inside my heart. How could I possibly tell her that I'm waiting for my boyfriend when she has no idea that I have one.

     Suddenly I heard the last call for my plane. Ahh... There's no use... Jonathan won't come. Why? Does he forget that I'm going today? Or maybe he can't skip class because there's something he must do? My heart broken into pieces. He lied to me.

     With heavy feelings, I walk towards my parents and we enter the plane. Journey to Tark's quite long, around 12 hours I guess. We'll arrive there around 8 'til 9 PM and I'll do my test to enter Seinze Academy a day after. The test goes on until night and for the upcoming days, I'll help my parents to tidy up our new apartment. What a very tiring week. If I'm accepted at Seinze, I'll start my school days next week without following the entrance day ceremony, which is good because I hate formal ceremonial thing.

     The plane flies off. I'm still thinking about Jonathan. He didn't come. It really hurts. I trust him. How can he forget? Or maybe... It's his own decision to not come. Maybe he wants to end our relationship. Maybe he already found another girl because he doesn't like a long distance relationship. Maybe he couldn't trust me. Maybe... Maybe... Maybe... Many thoughts spinning around in my head like crazy. I can't stand it! I tried to sleep but I can't. Oh, God! Help me throw away these annoying things.

     What a big apartment! How can dad afford to buy this?! I'm so shocked when I enter our new apartment. It's enormous!

     "Do you like it, Cindy?," my dad asked.

     "It's so big!," I replied.

     "C'mon. I'll show you something."

     I follow my dad to a door in the corner. Dad opens it and I saw a very big room. I think it's 3 times bigger than my bedroom back then in Rusch. It's already full of furniture and I know exactly that this is a bedroom. But, whom is it?

     "Don't say....," I look at my father and he nodded.

     "Yes. This is your bedroom, Cindy. And can you see the curtain on that side?," he pointed his finger to a large curtain on one side of the walls. "If you open it, you can see a big mirror. You can use it while you're dancing."

     A big mirror! That's what I always dream of!

     "THANKS DAD!!!" I hug my dad tightly and enter my new bedroom. I run around the room, open the curtains, see the view of Tark city from my balcony, and do anything that my heart tells me to do. My dad smiled and walk back to living room to help my mom with things.

     "WOAHHH!!! You really make me envy Cindy!!!," Agatha shouted in the middle of our call.

     "Hehehe...," I laughed.

     "I really wanted to go there."

     "Then come," I said.

     "No way! The plane ticket is too expensive. I don't think I can buy it."

     "Ask your parents?"

     "They won't allow me to go."

     I know her feelings. Her parents are rich but they're really over-protective. Agatha rarely hangs out with us, even only to the mall, because of her parents. Suddenly, I remember something important.

     "Hey, I want to ask something. Did Jonathan come to school today?"

     "Let me think... Hmm.... No. I didn't remember saw him on classes."

     Agatha's answer pierced my heart. Then, where'd he go? My tears fall to my cheeks. How can he forget? I'm afraid that Agatha could hear my sob. I quickly talk to her,

     "I'll call you again tomorrow." I end our call.

     Jonathan... Jonathan... Why do you do this to me?
