Chapter 22

"A mother's love endures through all." – Washington Irving
_____________________________________
They are last day on Anthony's island, and later they will leave here.
"Anthony, what time are we leaving here?" Casey asked loudly, and Anthony answered it immediately.
"Four o'clock in the afternoon. If you want to go around walking, just do what you want, but make sure your things are ready." They all nodded to Anthony about what he said.
While Haru had been looking for Arche for a while, but she couldn't see it, so she thought of standing in her seat to find Arche alone where it went. She hadn't gone far when she felt the pain in her head, so she stopped walking and grabbed her head. Jayson immediately noticed Haru and approached the girl to see if Haru was okay. 
"Haru, are you alright?" Haru gave two nods before she could answer Jayson's question.
"Yes, I'm fine."
"Where are you going? I accompany you. I see in your face that you are not okay."
"No Jayson, I'm already fine, I'm looking  Arche. I've been looking for him before but I can't find him."
"Ahh ... Arche is there. He is talking to someone  on his phone." Jayson said and at the same time pointed out where Arche was. Haru thanked him and then went to where Arche was. While Jayson stared at Haru from far away, because he was worried about Haru. 
"Don't ever call me again!... Son? It's good that you still remember that you left a child!... I never believe your reasons and I won't listen to your explanations because this is all pure lies! Don't you call me son again, because when you left us, I haven't had a mother in a long time!"
When Haru approached Arche, this is what she heard. She knew Arche's mother was talking to him on the other line.
"No matter what you do to explain to me, I will never believe you.... If you and dad are okay now, change me, Mrs. Martin!" Arche was furious and turned off the call. Arche had kicked in the air. While Haru was staring at it and watching Arche.
"Darn it!" Arche shouted loudly and then sat down on the sand.
"If you're having a hard time, you can cry. It's not bad to cry. Because you're a man, you can't cry? Sometimes that's the only way to somehow reduce the pain you feel there in your heart." Arche looked at Haru with shock in his eyes.
"H-Haru, h-have you been there before?"
"No, but I heard what you said to your mother," Haru said and sat down next to Arche. She wiped Arche's tears before speaking again.
"Why don't you listen to your mom's explanation? I'm sure she has a reason why she left you and your dad.  I didn't mean to hear what you were saying to your mom. If you two are hurt, it's none other than your mother who was hurting so much. Do you know why? Because her own son can't listen to her and her son told her hurtful words. Just like you said, you said that you haven't had a mother in a long time. It's very painful to your  mom. Because somehow she takes care of you and raises you." Haru said it again, while Arche bowed his head.
"You know, you're still a very lucky person, Arche. Because you have a mother who's worried about you. While the others out there want to be loved and be with their own mothers, but it's unlikely to happen because not everyone has a mother like your mother Arche." She took a deep breath before continue to speak.
"If your mom and dad are okay now, why don't you try to listen to your mother about the real reason why she did that?" She pulled Arche and hugged him tightly.
"I know you get hurt every time you say something bad to your mother." Arche was silent as he hugged Haru while crying.
The time came for them to leave the island where they are now. When they were traveling, almost everyone was resting, except for Haru and Arche, who were quietly watching the sights they were passing outside.
The night had reached them, so the van took them to their respective homes one by one. While Arche and Jasper stayed at Nicole's house.
"Come in, you can stay in my room, Haru and I will stay in her room," Nicole said to the two, Arche and Jasper nodded. Arche approached Haru and kissed her on the forehead.
"Good night, Haru," Arche said and entered Nicole's room that they would sleep. Haru didn't say a word because she knew Arche was thinking of about his mother.
Haru and Nicole entered Haru's room. Haru's bed and bedroom were bigger than Nicole's.
"Hayst is tiring!" Nicole said as she lying on the bed. And Haru sat at her study table and faced her laptop
"Haru, take a break and do that tomorrow," Nicole said sleepily, but Haru ignored her and kept typing.
"Haru," Nicole called Haru again, but she didn't even look away.
"Nicole, go to bed first. Don't make any noise because they might hear you of Arche."
Nicole got up from bed and approached Haru, then peeked at Haru's laptop to see what she was doing.
"I don't know how many days, weeks, months I only have left here. If I ever get lost now, I want to see only one person I love to be happy." Nicole read to Haru's story make it and Haru quickly closed her laptop and faced Nicole.
"Nicole, go to sleep." Nicole didn't listen to her, instead, she sat on the bed in front of Haru.
"How long will you keep your  real disease  from Arche?" Nicole asked. Haru bowed her head because of the question of Nicole.
"When I die," she said while bowing her head.
"Haru, don't you want to meet or remember your real family?" At that moment, Haru continued to bend down even more and without saying a word, she got up from her seat and lay down on the side of the bed.
"If you can't sleep yet, I'll be ahead of you. Good night Nicole."
It was obvious to Haru that she didn't want to talk about her real family.
"Haru, last question, why did you forget your true past?" At that moment, Haru closed her eyes tightly.
"The doctor said only for a moment that you could forget what happened because of the injuries you got, but we found out the truth that you chose to forget the real life that you have. Why Haru? Why?"
"N-Nicole stop," Nicole breathes deeply and laying down next to it. Nicole doesn't know what the reason is why Haru forgot her real family that she had then. The only one who knows everyone is none other than her mother and her aunt. But even with that information, she didn't get anything from her mother before her death, while her aunt Emma kept her mouth silent and had no intention to tell her anything about Haru.
