Pretty quick update, no? Well, I hope you enjoys it
It was overwhelming.
It was only a few months when Indonesia finally smiled again. Her people and her bosses Sukarno and Hatta, never tired to help her grow into her new identity. They never tired to make her feel like the luckiest being on earth. And it was undeniable, she was a great nation indeed.
She stood alongside her boss for everything, almost never leaving his side. They shared a great bond. Even after he was gone.
A new president was raised, and yes, she had gotten her wish, she was free again. She could play any time she wanted, and do as she pleases, not to mention the new things that were introduced to her. And along with the traumatic G30S-PKI event, she was reminded that dream come trues always had a catch.
"Malacca? Tawalisi?!" Indonesia's eyes widened in happiness at two familiar faces her boss had found for her.
"What? What are you talking about? My name is Malaysia, and that's Philippines." Her sister, Malaysia, said flatly. "We're not little kids anymore."
"Oh- O-of course! It's just that... It's so nice to see you again..." Indonesia held back her tears.
"You too, ate." Tawalisi- Philippines, nodded. She was such a beautiful girl now. "It's been a while."
And Indonesia had to remind herself, they were not a part of her anymore. They didn't belong to her anymore. They were their own persons. And it was good. She knew firsthand how that felt, but it could be different for them than it was for her. "It's so nice to know you're both still here..."
"I guess... Well, we have things to do. Maybe we'll talk some other time.""Goodbye, ate."
It's times like those that truly made her miss the past.
"Indonesia, we're going to a special meeting today." Suharto said as the new nation stared at him with big brown eyes.
"Really? With who?"
"Australia. He would be here any minute now."
Indonesia's heart stopped. Australia? That boy that had supposedly replaced her friend Yolngu? But he didn't like her...
She took a deep breath, but nodded, every minute making her uncomfortably anxious, up to the point she was once again fidgeting with the hem of her shirt. And before she could even realize it, they were at the airport, boarding a plane that would take her back to Arnhem Land, or Marage as she called it.
A few hours, and the plane landed. Indonesia clumsily climbed down as the air somewhat soothed her nerves. She boarded another car, but this time, she was dropped off at the Australian's house while Suharto handled the meeting.
"Nice to see ya again, mate."
Indonesia nearly choked on her own spit. But she gathered enough strength inside of her to turn around and look at the bandage wearing nation, a smile on his face.
"Nice to see you too." It was a lie, she knew. But she also knew that he was lying too. Indonesia observed him quietly, and already she knew that the friendship she had lost would be forever lost. And it was would only be so much better from there. And Nesia knew that.
"Er, listen, mate... I just wanted to say me apologies... For, y'know, what happened before."
"You don't have to. There are lots of things we could be sorry for."
"No, mate... I really am sorry. I just, I want us to make up, y'know? No matter what our bosses tells us to do... I want us to be mates. And, I'm sorry if I do anything to hurt ya." Australia had chosen his words very carefully, just to make sure he didn't himself look like a fool, or offend her, and Indonesia had only stared at him. A smile slowly tugged at her lips.
"Will you promise?" She held out her pinky, and Australia smiled, wrapping his own pinky around her's.
"Yea, I promise."
Urgghhh so short... Must be the shortest thing I've ever written... With... A lil' bit... AUSSIENESIA FLUFF!
Well, an RnR is very appreciated
