“Goodbye Miss Ria, see you tomorrow!” a queue was formed in front of Ria as she hugged and said goodbye to her students in front of the class.“Bye sweetheart! See you tomorrow! Don’t forget your assignments, OK?” She hugged the last student and waved her goodbye.The class was empty and she tidy up her table and the students’ project for today.She sighed happily. This was her dream job. She loves teaching and interact with children.Even though she didn’t get to talk with people that often. But Ria always love children. They are cute and always remind her of her past time.Back when her parents still alive, she was also a cheerful and happy little girl. Even her mother’s family didn’t fond of them, she got more love and attention than she could ask from her parents.Ria walked out of the class and also prepared to go home.She took her steps while thinking about what Kevin did at home right now. He must playing with Ben, she shook her head, smiling.Kevin was with her the third day

“I hope you don’t mind being a friend with an old guy like me.” Sam uttered while focused on the road.They were on the way to Ria’s home.Ria thought about it. Samuel was Kevin’s teammate and his classmate, of course he was as old as Kevin. If there was any age difference than it would be no more the one or two years.She never have any problem with Kevin. She in fact, enjoyed it. So, she didn’t see any problem with it.“That’s okay with me…” She said and Sam was delighted.But Kevin never saw her with those nasty eyes.“I’m sorry if Claire caused some trouble and bothered you. She was cranky because me and her mom were divorcing. So I guess she sometimes threw some tantrum or behave like a mean girl but I promise you she is the sweetest girl ever.” He explained.Ria didn’t know where this was coming from. She wasn’t his mom or his girlfriend that she got his life report but she didn’t say anything and only nodded.Okay now that he said that, she got the right to judge it in her mind

Kevin sat on the couch in silence. His eyes were glued to the table in front of him.His mind wandering to the memories he had all this time.Ria came in through the door and walked towards him. She just sent Sam away a moment ago.“What’s on your mind?” She asked softly and sat beside him.Kevin let a heavy sigh and wrapped an arm around her shoulder, he pulled both of them to lean back on the couch.Ria smiled feeling the cold that always been her favorite since the day she felt it on her skin.“Just thinking about all of this…” He said. His tone was telling her that his mood was a bit down after their conversation with Sam.Ria took out their little brown note, “So, Sam is out of the list?” She asked him.“Yup.” He nodded and Ria crossed out Samuel from the list of possible suspects.She also took out the polaroid photo and five other people there were still on the list.“What do you think about the others?” She asked pointed out their photos.There are five people left on the list

Kevin was stunned. He didn’t know what to say, but nodded and smiled anyway. He knew that she hurt herself by saying those words. And that hurt him even more knowing that she knew what would happen to him, to them, once they found the truth. The day passed another hour and Ria ready to go home. She hook her arm around Kevin’s and didn’t care about what other people think when they saw her. They might saw her as a crazy young lady walking alone from the grave yard. That could be a pity scene or the sad one. “When I heard Thomas earlier, I thought about something.” She said while walking along the road with him. “What is it?” “About my parents. Now that I think about it, I felt relieved too. They could be still alive back then but may be in the worst condition because of the accident. I can’t imagine them in pain for the rest of their live.” She told him. “Was the accident that bad?” Kevin asked. “Yes. Their car was found under the cliff, upside down.” She inhaled deeply, “The

“Ben! Ben!” Ria called for Ben in the yard.The lazy cat turned into a naughty one these days. Kevin could hear her voice from upstairs.He shook his head and a smile formed on his handsome face.Ben loved to tease her sometimes.He was on the master bedroom currently, tried to moved the damn heavy cupboard.“I really hope it’s still there..” He mumbled.After a few tries he finally made the cupboard moved a little where he could see the wall behind. He touched the wall and his hand went through inside.He smiled.It’s still neatly place there…Meanwhile he didn’t hear Ria call for Ben anymore.Maybe she found him already.He looked outside from the window and frowned.“Kevin come on!” He heard her calling out to him.**Ria was looking for Ben when Kevin still upstairs.They were going to the cemetery for today was Kevin’s death anniversary.She was going to asked grandma, looking out for Ben just a little bit when they were outside.She always did that nowadays when the old lady fou
