Lumanti (Memory)

Epilogue

It has been few months since the last time they won over their love, all over again.

Lumanti and Aaron were happy and forwarding their life in more positive note. Lately they have been very busy with their adult life with work. Though Aaron moved to Melbourne with Lumanti, new place and work were taking toll in their relationship. So when this long weekend arrived, they decided to spend holiday together; no work dramas.

Aaron arrived in Sydney a day before due to urgent business he needed to take care of, but Lumanti couldn't take a day off earlier so she decided to join him on Saturday. 

They were supposed to meet at train station to get a picnic ride in a locomotive train in a classic way. She packed her picnic basket and waited for him at the station but he was not there at all. She was getting angsty. She has been calling him several times now but the call was just not going through. Out of nowhere, Rianne and Sara appeared in front of her. The newly wed were quite busy these days.

"Hey girl", chirped Rianne and hugged Lumanti. Sara hugged her as well and asked how was everything. She sighed with smile saying, "Everything feels fine after a really long time." Sara gave her a beautiful smile, understanding what she must have felt in last six months.

Rianne started asking about Aaron and Sara left to buy some snacks for the ride. Lumanti was annoyed that he is always late and Rianne was more calm than ever about Aaron being late. 

"Don't worry Ray. He will here soon," Rianne tried to calm her best friend.

"I can't believe he is late again."

"And here I thought I was late."

"What do you mean?" confused Lumanti asked her friend.

As if realising something, Rianne explained, "I think... we are taking this same trip to Kiama and I thought we were running late."

"But how do you know we are also going to Kiama."

"Uhmm.. ahh..  well, you are waiting on the same platform so.. so I guessed. Oh.. it would be great, we will have fun on this trip together."

As much as Lumanti was happy seeing her best friend after such a long time, she wanted to spend this time alone with Aaron but she put on her happy face and exclaimed Yay in most enthusiastic way possible.

Lumanti was very confused by Rianne's reaction but before she could say anything, Rianne said, "Oh my girl loves snack, I will go help her with the bags." Rianne left to help Sara before Lumanti could say anything. 

Sara was carrying a bag load of snacks and Rianne was rushing to get some of the bags from her hand. 

All three of them moved towards the cabin that Rianne had booked. When Lumanti got up to leave, Ri stopped her and asked her to stay.

"No there is only 15 minutes left for it go. I need to check on B and see if he is coming"

"Oh come on, text him that you are with us and he will come join us."

"Where is Aaron? Grabbing foods?", asked Sara.

" No he was supposed to be here an hr ago but he is not here yet and we are going to miss this train," said Lumanti, who was now half furious of his tardiness.

"Oh puh-lease, he will be here soon, don't worry," Rianne said as if she knew that he would be here any minute.

"Wait here till he comes back," said Sara. 

To which Lumanti replied, "Nah, its alright, you lovebirds enjoy your holiday. I will wait for him outside."

Rianne now annoyed at her best friend said loudly, now, "Are you kidding me Ray? Text him our cabin number, he will come here."
