Found again

"I didn't expect you to be in front of me right now, I thought I would never see you again since you were so far. I'm sorry for not realizing it earlier." Nikki said regretfully.

"I was very visible around you all this time, but you didn't notice me for so long. I should be angry though, for some reason I can't." she said with a pouting face.

A while ago...

"I am Serra, your childhood friend." she said in a cold voice. she glanced at Nikki; Her face was calm but her eyes were desperate.

(... ...)

Nikki was very surprised to hear that. She stared at her anxiously for a while.

Serra was her childhood best friend. Serra went abroad with her family when she was nine and they started living there since then. After that, they did not see each other again, It's been ten years. It's natural for Nikki to be shocked to see her suddenly after so long.

... ...

"I heard about uncle and aunty from my grandmother; I'm sorry! I wasn't with you when you needed me." Serra said sadly. Her face and eyes were more desperate than Nikki's.

Nikki smiled a little, but her eyes were pale. Her face looked dull as if she was dying inside little by little. Serra realized when she looked at her. Serra was looking for some excuse to change the subject.

"Now that we are going abroad to study with each other, isn't this a great coincidence?" Serra said with a awkward smile.

She smiled widely and nodded her head. She didn't say anything.

... ...

Her heart was pounding so fast. Because, after all this years, she was able to meet her loveable friend. She couldn't believe her own eyes.

Afterwards, they exchanged their phone numbers with each other. spoke to her casually. But Nikki barely talked to Serra. It wasn't because she was uncomfortable, but she was nervous and didn't know what to say.

Serra did realize Nikki's problem. She made it easy for Nikki and ended the conversation politely. After that she went back to her class.

Nikki went back to her class as well. There was a look of satisfaction on Nikki's face, as if she has found something precious.
