Chương 172: 172. Met Someone New

Before Rissa shed another tear, she decided not to say goodbye to Nicholas. Rissa's move to Bandung was more emotional than Nicholas's move to Malaysia.

Today Rissa will fly to Bandung. Nicholas will only move to Malaysia around next week.

Dad, mom, and James drove her to the airport. Rissa felt embarrassed when her mother hugged her for a minute that seemed like an hour. Her step-father just patted her on the shoulder. James smiled broadly at her.

"Rissa, this is for you." James handed her a gift box decorated with ribbons.

"What's this?" asked Rissa, about to pull the ribbon.

"Don't open it now!" cried James. "Just open it on the plane, okay?"

Rissa narrowed her eyes with a faint smile. "You intrigue me, James."

"That's it. Just be patient. You will be on the plane soon."

Rissa nodded. "Thank you, James."

James lifted a lock of Rissa's hair and tossed it. "No need to thank me."
