Yaya turned around and looked out of the window, "I'm going to leave Coast City and go back to my hometown. It's quite far away, in a remote area near the mountains, and the children there do not have access to a good education. I am planning on going back to teach them."
Karen Joy pursed her lips and asked cautiously, "Sister Yaya, do you want to leave because of my brother? Did he..."
She knew that Jayden might have feelings for her, but she didn't stop Yaya from pursuing him or getting near him. Seeing Yaya so upset now, Karen Joy did not feel good either.
"No." Yaya shook her head. "Everyone wants to find value in their lives, I want that too. Back then, so many people spent their hard-earned money to support me in my studies. Now that I have achieved success in my academics and my job, I want to go back to my hometown to do something for my people."
Yaya already had this plan in mind previously. So, when Jayden didn't reciprocate her affection, it helped Yaya make this decision sooner.
Karen Joy was very upset as she thought about things more deeply, "Sister Yaya..."
"Karen Joy, see you again! Oh no, we may never see each other again." Yaya shook her head and said bitterly.
It was a rare opportunity for Yaya to meet the daughter of the famous Rovio leader and become friends with her. In the future, they would go back to live their respective lives, it would be very hard for them to meet again.
Karen Joy bit her lip hard and said, "Sister Yaya, please take care of yourself!"
"Okay." Yaya nodded, but she did not dare to look back at Karen Joy. Parting with a friend would always feel terrible, that was why she was feeling extremely sad.
After a few steps, Yaya suddenly stopped and looked back. She opened her mouth and finally said something out loud, "Karen Joy..."
"Sister Yaya, just say it." Karen Joy also had a lot of things to say to Yaya, but she didn't know where to start.
"It's nothing." Yaya forced out a reluctant smile. In the end, she didn't say what she wanted to say. She turned around and walked out of the ward.
Jayden had never acknowledged Yaya's presence before. She was wondering how would Jayden speak of her when finally woke up? She probably expected too much.
These were the woes of women. They would always have unrealistic expectations on a man who did not even fancy them. They were so silly!
"Sister Yaya!" Seeing Yaya walking further away and just as she was about to disappear from her sight. Karen Joy caught up with her and gave her a big hug. "Sister Yaya, I will not change my phone number, so you can call me whenever you think of me."
After coming to Country A, Karen Joy didn't interact with many people. Yaya was someone special who left a deep impression in Karen Joy's heart. Yaya was a strong and optimistic young lady, who changed Karen Joy's view of the world.
It didn't matter where a person came from or what her background was. The most important thing was to have a kind and courageous heart, just like Yaya. Surely, she wouldn't go wrong when she had such pure intentions.
Karen Joy wanted to cherish the relationship with Yaya. Even if she could not meet her that frequently in the future, she would still reach out to Yaya occasionally. It would be comforting to know that Yaya was having a good life.
"Alright, okay!" Yaya smiled and waved goodbye to Karen Joy. However, just as she turned around, tears rolled down her face like a waterfall and she was sobbing instantly.
"Goodbye!"
"My friend!"
"Goodbye!"
"To the man who accidentally stole my heart." Yaya said silently.
If she had not befriended Karen Joy during the rescue mission back then, she might never have met Jayden, and she would not have given her heart away.
