Chapter 193 - What was wrong with his day today? (2/2)

*~*~*~*

Ryn folded two sets of clothes and underwear. And stockings. She needed stockings. Then, she pushed them into her backpack. She did not wear any soap, only her set of toothbrush and toothpaste. She could always use his soap and shampoo. Oh yes, she needed her hairbrush, face wash, deodorant and sunblock. Now she was ready.

She tied her hair into a huge messy bun and put on her favourite cap. Then, she put on her jacket. She looked around and nodded twice.

”It's time to move, ” she told herself. Then, she sighed.

She knew she was running from everything... But she needed some time to think without anyone trying to influence or force her.

”Stop thinking about this again, ” she scolded herself when she seemed hesitant to grab her bag and house key.

She went to the kitchen to drink a glass of water to calm herself down. Once she put the washed glass back to its place, she grabbed her bag and housekey, then put on the sneakers. She now was ready to run away from the real world.

She took a cab to go to the airport. She paid the fare and went into the building. She needed to take a flight to go to the mainland before a boat to reach the island.

She was lucky when the next flight was an hour away and there were still seats available. She quickly bought one and went to the departure gate. She did not have luggage to check-in. It was a smooth journey for her.

She spent two hours journey on the flight sleeping. No one recognized her with her deliberately using the cap and her long hair to cover her face. The jacket was quite big and a bit boyish, covering her curves perfectly. Even though she was taller than average women, with she put on the student mask and masking her model aura. No one would believe a supermodel even sitting on the economy class in the aeroplane.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes when the captain announced they were going to land. She pulled the safety belt and used the cap to cover her huge yawn. She looked around and saw each one of the passengers was excited to finally arrive.

She joined the other passengers to the arrival gate. As it was a domestic flight, she did not have to get through the immigration. It saved more time for her.

”Still have time, ” she murmured when she looked at her watch. There was still time to get into the boat to go there... If she managed to get a ticket.

Luck was still on her side. She managed to get a ticket for the last trip. She smiled when she received the ticket. When the girl at the counter asked her if she wanted to buy a return ticket, she said no with a shake of her head.

With the ticket safe in her pocket, she went to the small stall to buy herself a bottle of water. With the bottle of water in her hand, she walked toward the chairs to find a set to sit while waiting for the boat to arrive.

She gulped her drink slowly, watching some kids running around with their parents chatting while keeping an eye on them. She smiled wryly. Had she ever done that when she was young? Running around happily while crying and shouting happily?

She finished the whole bottle and stood up. Using her stretch, she made the bottle into a smaller size before threw it into the recycle bin for plastic.

Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to Andy, detailing the boat's estimation arrival. She also took the time to read and reply to all the messages.

When she reading listen to Mika's messages, she could not help from sighing heavily. She felt sorry for her inability to join Mika with her plan but she needed some space away from the Long siblings.

She joined the other passengers into the boat and put on the safety jacket. Her backpack was clutched tightly against her chest. Her cap was now safe in her bag, leaving her messy bun getting messier.

She quickly redid her bun and stood up once the boat reached the small jetty. She was careful when walking from the boat to the wooden stairs of the jetty. It wobbled quite a lot, following the waves of the sea. She murmured her thanks to the man helping her and walked with the rest of the passenger toward the gate. Her eyes looked around until it fell on a young man wearing a white singlet and worn jeans.

Once he noticed her, he dropped the cigarette he was puffing and smiled.

”I'm back.” Her smile wobbled as she let him pull her into his arms.

”Welcome back.”
