When she was an eight year old girl, she has a friend who she just met on the park. He bumped on her causing her ice cream fell on the ground.
"Look what you did! You dropped my ice cream!" she cried, his back facing her.
"Tsk, it's not my fault" he said then he pointed a finger on me then said, "it's your fault for being clumsy!" then a tear fell on her cheek, she tried herself best not to cry but it failed because she started to cry nonstop.
"Ahh! Sorry I didn't mean to make you cry…" he said while panicking, "let's see, what do you want?" he asked her, she stop crying then she looked at him. The boy has dark brown hair, slightly paled skin and blue eyes. She blushed, before she noticed he ran away from her then she became sad for leaving her alone without saying his name.
"Here…" someone said, she didn't mind it because she kept on thinking the boy.
"Leave me alone, will yah…" she whispered
"I said here…" he said again then he poked her. She turned to see the person only to see that he's the boy who dropped her ice cream, he has an ice cream on his right handed then he handed the ice cream to her.
"Thanks…" she muttered
"No problem… I just don't want to see a girl crying because of me…" he said then she giggled
"What's so funny?" he asked while glaring at her
"Well I thought, you're the type of person who always running away from problems and didn't care if someone cried because of them." She said then she ate her ice cream.
"By the way, my name is Ran… nice to meet you" she said while smiling. The boy blushed but he hid it behind his bangs.
"Call me Shin…" he said
"Shin-kun~!" she said then she hugged him. After that meeting, they always meet at the park and they became friends. Until one day…
"Ran, I have something to tell you…" he said while looking down. They were in the park again, sitting in one of the bench.
"What is it Shin-kun?" she asked while eating her ice cream.
"I'm leaving…" he said, causing Ran's ice cream fall on the ground.
"What? Where are you going?" she asked then she started to cry.
"I'm going to America…" he answered
"Why? And how long?" she cried
"I don't know… but I will return just promise to me that you will wait for me." He said Ran just looked down, there was a silent… the boy noticed the silent he turned and starting to walk away.
"Goodbye…" he muttered
"Wait!" she called then the boy looked at her. Ran running towards to him when she was in front of him, she removed her two red ribbons.
"Here!" she said as she handed the one ribbon to him, "It's now yours… because one day we will able to recognize each other with this ribbon." She said happily, the boy take the ribbon and smile.
"Okay… I'll keep it then when I return I will look for you…" he said
"Okay…" she said
Ran eyes opened, the sun shines in her face making her dazzled.
"It was just a dream…" she sighed. Ran got up slowly and she opens her window and takes in the happiness of the morning, though she, herself, wasn't very happy at all. She looked at her nightstand the red ribbon was still there.
"Shin-kun, when will you return? I kept on waiting to you…" she thought while staring at the red ribbon then she put it back inside the drawer.
"Lady Ran… you finally woke up, your parents please to see you." The maid said as she bowed then takes her leave. Ran nodded then went to the bathroom and she takes a bath. After that, she wears her clothes then went to meet her parents at the dining room.
