Chapter 496 - Goodbye (2/2)
Raka was silent for a moment when he heard Anya's answer. Then, he racked his brain and looked for a way to keep them from entering first.
”Anya, Nico left the stuff and asked me to give it to his friend in France. He's on his way here. Can we wait just a moment?” Raka was too kind. He wanted Anya and Aiden to meet one last time so he helped them.
”Nico or Aiden?” Anya asked.
”Nico,” Raka replied firmly.
”I will accompany you,” Anya immediately felt relieved when she heard Raka's firm answer.
She didn't have any problem with Nico. All of this was not Nico's fault. Nico didn't know anything and he didn't do anything. Anya must not punish him for what others had done to her.
They waited a long time, but Aiden didn't come until the airport announcement announced their board number and asked passengers to enter immediately.
Raka could only surrender and took a deep breath, ”Ugh, Nico sucks. He can't be expected. Maybe he got stuck in a traffic jam. Let's go. We can't wait any longer.”
They walked slowly towards their gate, not in a hurry as they were first class passengers and would be entering the plane later.
After getting into the plane and sitting in his chair, Raka's cell phone suddenly rang. He received a message containing a photo of Aiden with two words listed under it.
'Thank you!'
When he saw the photo, Raka's feelings were mixed.
It turned out that Aiden had arrived at the airport, but he decided not to come face to face with them.
Aiden sent Anya's picture that he had taken earlier. The photo was taken right from the front corner, without Anya's knowledge.
Raka didn't know how Aiden could trick their eyes and still managed to take a very clear photo of Anya's face.
Raka didn't know how long it took Aiden to arrive at the airport, nor how long the man had been observing them from a distance.
Meanwhile, Raka knew that the person Anya hoped to see for the last time wasn't Nico, but Aiden. If not, why would she be willing to wait together with Raka?
If Anya wanted, she could go in first and wait in the waiting room. But just like Aiden, Anya also wanted to see Aiden one last time.
Raka: ”Anya is waiting for you. Why don't you want to meet her?”
Aiden: ”I was afraid I would make her cry. And I'm afraid I won't be able to let her go. I wish you a safe trip.”
Raka: ”Aiden, you really are a coward. If you really didn't want to, why did you just let her go?”
Aiden didn't answer. He sat in his car in the parking lot, he then opened the roof of his car and looked up at the sky above.
At the same time, Anya sat by the window, looking at the sky outside the plane's window.
This was the first time she had gone abroad.
This was the first time she had left Indonesia.
But Anya didn't know when she would come back again.
Maybe two years or three years. Or maybe she'd never come back…
”Does Aiden know I'm leaving today?” Anya suddenly asked.
”What?” Raka was surprised to hear Anya's question. ”You don't want me to call him earlier...”
”Nico knew I was going to go. Aiden should've known too,” Anya muttered.
”Do you want Aiden to send you one last time?” Raka asked.
”I don't want to see him,” Anya leaned back in her chair and sent a message to her mother.
Anya: ”Mom, I'm already on my plane. We will meet soon in India.”
It didn't take long for Diana to answer right away.
Diana: ”I'll be waiting for you to have dinner together. Be careful.”
Anya rarely opened her social media. This time, she uploaded a photo. A photo of the sky that looked very clear that day.
'Goodbye, Indonesia!''
Aiden saw the photo. Anya was saying goodbye to him.
While looking at the photo, Aiden muttered softly, ”Goodbye, Anya...”
