Chapter 30 - Strange Things and Jealousy (3) (1/2)

I couldn't say I wasn't surprised. Worse, I was blushing. I was lucky she didn't notice it. She didn't even pay attention to me so I could hide it fast.

”Yeah. You're right.” I smiled. Tom, where did you go actually?

She smiled and looked at me. ”I'm fine now, thank you. You can go to campus or you'll be late.”

I nodded and excused myself. As usual, my walk to campus felt alone and lonely. Tom had not been accompanying me for two months or since he left me to be exact. But, another thing hit me as I reached my campus and finished my class. That's right, I forgot that I wouldn't meet or see Senior Rizal here today. It was now officially lonely.

Anyway, what was Senior Rizal doing?

”Feeling lonely?” Someone teased me. As I turned around, Senior Aldo's face greeted me with his smirk.

I hissed slightly. ”What is it, Senior?”

”Do you know where he is going? I didn't meet him. I didn't see him anywhere. His phone is also not active. It's weird.” He frowned. Of course, he was talking about Senior Rizal.

I shrugged. ”He said he had an urgent business that he needed to take care as soon as possible, that's why he couldn't come today.”

Senior Aldo nodded. ”Then, I go first. If you get any news from him, contact me, okay?” He said as he waved goodbye to me.

I nodded and waved him back. I was alone again. Should I go back home? Crying? I got up and walked back home. I opened my room's door weakly.

”I'm home…” I said weakly.

”Welcome home…” Someone greeted me.

I startled and looked straight in my room, eyeing the owner of the voice who greeted me. There he was, floating above my bed while smiling at me innocently. I closed my door and approached him. The longed in my heart couldn't be held anymore. I reached out and hugged him for a long time. He felt cold and empty, but I didn't care. No, I didn't care at all.

”I miss you so much.” I whispered to him. ”I love you…”

I could feel him hugging me back. ”I love you more, Jane…” He whispered back, softly and gently.

I closed my eyes. Why did I feel so sleepy right now?
