" A game..? Why you bring a game in a school. Whatever, I must study to go to college! " I mumbling as i left the school. The school gotten big when it got a reward because mostly genuise pupil participate in Maths quiz and won RM 60000. The brainers gave all the money to the school. Isn't that a huge of waste?

I look on the left, there's a park. A Park with full of birds and cats. I usually go there with a girl which is already moved to Singapore. The girl always play with me like tags and hide and seek. She's a cheerful girl. But when both of us entered highschools, boys always approach the girl. I tried to protect her, but she said " It's okay, I can handle this. ". She accepted one of the boys confession and start dating. Yes, it makes me jealous.

It's half a year, she still with the same guy. I guess that's it for me because I din't confess to her. I regret my actions. Wait, why am i bringing my past? Oh, I arrived. I opened the front door. " I'm home! What's for dinner! ".

" Salmon gril with tomato ketchup! " My mom replied, she's taking a shower in a bathroom at upstairs. I look on a dining table, it is Salmon gril. Another favourite for me. I sit down. In dining room, mostly had 4 peoples in here when we gonna have dinner, but happiness not gonna last forever, right?

I went to my room and put my bag next to a study desk. On the desk, I have computer and a sketchbook. I always draw my own characters if I do not know what to do or how to waste my time. ' Should l play a game..? Wait, I should invite Dell to play. '. I turn on my phone.

Dell was my second childhood friend. I've been with him after the girl moved far away. He always try his best to console me whenever l feel down. I wish l can introduce the girl to Dell. Even though Dell was a famous person in school, he's not a selfish person and he's kind. He's grade is way more good than me. Mostly, he's grade got A's and B. He even work as a part-timer at Restaurant as a waiter.

I opened the contact application, try to find Dell's number. Found it, my phone vibrates as it try to reach Dell's phone. The call picked up the line, " Dell, wanna play a new game? " 

" Sure, as long its MMORPG. "

" Today, you got no shifts to do, right? "

" Nope, I'm free and you can spend your waste on me. Hehehe. "

This is what l like about Dell.

" But this game you need to go to a game store and register there. Wanna come with me? "

" Sure, we meet at the train station! "

" Okay! "

I quickly take my traveling bag, put my watches, money, the game disc and its box, keys in the bag. I put on my jogger pants and long sleeve purple shirt, can't leave a house without wearing your favourite shirt. 

" Mom, I'm going out with Dell! Maybe I'll be home late. " 

" Okay, make sure watch the cars and be safe! "

" Okay! " I opened the front door. Walking while hide my hands in my joggers pocket because it's winter season, forgot my winter scarf. " Ughh.. This winter making me shivering! "

As I walk pass by the neighbour house, i looked on my right side, there's a empty house. I stare it for a couple of minutes before I continue my journey to the station. ' It's been 4 months and yet the house is still empty? ' My mind keep asking me questions. Suddenly my mind ask, ' What is the girl's name? '. The question srike my heart, my chest felt really tight like is going to burst.

I arrived, at the chaotic train station which is quite far from my mom's house. I stand beside the vending machines, looking at my watches and left and right, no sign of Dell. For now, let's forget about the past for now and move on to the present. The train station is quite busy here with people, which is a rich people. Quite strange, right?

One of the train stops at the station. I stare at the train's door, i migh be thinking that Dell will be in that train. As I stare, it opened. The moment when the train's doors open, I saw a black colour hair girl. White skin, small lips but shiny, pretty. She looked at me and try to approach me. 

My body and heads din't respond as I try to move. It's like a freezing spell.The girl heading towards me, with a smile. Have I met her before? I still din't give any emotions. I close my eyes, try to open it slowly, the girl is infront of me. This is my first time face to face with a girl.

" Nodochi, its been awhile. "

Hah... What is she talking about? How did she know my name? 

" I've always wanted to meet you after we seperated for the past 10 years. "

Her eyes suddenly dropping tears. I can't tell if it's a sad tears or tears of joy.

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

For a moment, the world turned white. My brain starts to refreshing my mind, means its try to bring up the past. " When we both of grow up, what you're going to be? "

" I want to be a professional gamer! I always dream to be one of the champion group. "

" Woahh. That's a good ambition you have there, Nochan. "

" Hehe.. So, what's yours? "

" Me? Well, if you're going to be a professional gamer, I'll be a professional chef! I wanted to cook delicious foods, and maybe... maybe if I.. "

" What is it? "

" Nothing. Let's make a pinky promise. "

" Fine by me! "

" ~ Promise that we will be together, forever. Even when there's a problem, we will be solvig together. Even if we must stay away, we always be together. That's what we called- "

" Friends! " - Nochan

" Lovers! " - ???

" Well, if you wanted to. "

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

Now I remember, the promise when I was 6 years old. The world turned back to normal. The girl is still infront of me. Finally, my mouth starts to open as it try to ask something.

" Are you the girl who made the pinky promise? " What the... I blew the details. Good job, Nodochi.

She nod, " Yes, it was me. Ashley Fionna who made the promise when we grow up. "

Suddenly, I do not know why but my heart became so big. It's been a long time since i feel this happy. Maybe it was her. My chest starts to feel really tight than before. Just by see her face, my eyes cannot blink, but let out tears. I can't breathe properly for a minute, I try to calm myself.

The train station suddenly became more busy, people start pushing each others, as well Ashley. She got pushed, our contact start to fading. I try to reach my hand, but she only respond with a smile.

" Nodochi? What are you doing? " Dell standing beside me, try to find something that i try to reach.

" Ohh.. Nothing. "

" Wait, WHY WERE YOU CRYING! WHO MADE YOU CRY! " Dell looked at my faces, seriously.

" Heh, I'm not. I'm just.. happy to see it again. " I wipe my tears using my palms.

" Happy to see what again?

" Nothing. Well, let's go. "

Dell's face is full of confuse. He wanted to ask me alot of questions, but he know that I'm not in the mood yet. As the time pass, evening. We enetered the game store. Register the player id forms for Era Orbit Online. Dell also buy some of the merchandise from the game that he liked.

" When we get home, I'll be with you, okay? " Dell try to console me.

" Thanks, brother. " We walked back at our homes. When will I can meet her again? Will this reality let me see her for one more time?
