Kai halted his bike abruptly. Was that Ari?

She had disappeared again and it had been a week already. And for some reason, this time it felt as though Ari wanted him to find her.

Everywhere he goes, he catches glimpses of her but whenever he tries to get a closer look, she disappears.

There was this little doubt that was beginning to grow inside of Kai. Was Ari even real? Does anyone other than his mother know who this girl was?

Then what about the painting that hung inside of his room or the things that belongs to her that laid strewn everywhere in his room?

Why was she so… Unreal?

He took off his helmet and got off his bike. He needed some time to think about this. He did not want to go home, it was still early after all and also his house was only some walks away now.

Leaving his bike in the corner of the street, he strolled down the lonely lanes.

This neighborhood was a rich neighborhood, for the privileged people. A quiet place and a place that had no ounce of love or laughter. It was truly pathetic. He could get out of here and set up his life elsewhere, away from his painful memories and from his brother and his father.

Why, he could have get out of here the moment he turned 18. He really had thought about that but in the end he stayed because he was still waiting for her.

In the end, he sighed as he thought, it was all because of Ari.
