Broken Wings

6) Falling

Down the road of the hills, the only thing that was heard was the trotting sound from the horse. There was no cars, no animal or people, just Miran and Reyyan on the horse but they were awkwardly silence.

Reyyan arms were wrapped around Miran's waist as he guided the horse. Adrenaline rushed through his body from her touch and butterflies were formed in his stomach as she was so close to him, breathing down his neck only to get goosebumps.

They arrived at the same mountain that they both separately used to go to.

"How do you know this place?" Reyyan asks.

"You told me to set a swing in the sky. You said you could trust me that way." Miran says in a matter of fact.

"Are you crazy? I only just said that." She worries. Miran stares at her which made her stopped talking. They both got of the horse and Reyyan walked to the big swing at the edge of the mountain. It had blue and white cloths wrapped on it, dangling down. Reyyan smiles in happiness.

"I did what you asked me to do. Do you have the guts to sit on that swing?" He tilts his head at it.

Reyyan gives him a mocking look and walks towards it. She gets on it with the help of Miran holding on the seat for her to sit on. He comes behind the swing and started to push her slowly then harder which the swing came to sky. Reyyan grins excitingly but is still scared as she grips on the ropes tightly. She saw the whole view of the city, feeling the freedom that he gave her. She started feeling afraid as all of a sudden as he pushed the swing harder.

He stops the swing and wrapped his arm around her waist and brings his face to her ear.
"Go as far as you can, I will find you." He goes closer to her ear. "I will hold you when you fall, like this... so tight." He's tighten's his arms around her.

"What if you can't catch me?" She says worriedly.

"Then I'll jump behind you. I'll fall with you." Reyyan turns her head to look at him and smiles at him as if she's the luckiest girl. That smile melts his stone heart but it wasn't enough.

They come back to the mansion before anybody wakes up.

"Alright stop here." Reyyan says as she gets off the horse. "I hope no one has woken up yet." She turns her head to Miran who's tying the horse up. "Miran, what are you doing?"

Then he comes closer to her. Reyyan sighs, going back to her house but he holds her hand. She stops and looks at the her hand that's he's holding then back at his face that's lusciously looking at her.

"They will see us." She turns to look at the ground.

"There is no one else on the street." He says gently.

"Still... you should let me go." Peeking her eye to him. "Let me go." Then turns to walk to the door.

Miran pulls her hand which makes her spin into a kiss on his lips. Her eyes wide open, looking at emerald ones, that's asking for more. His hands tightly holding her hands, rubbing it. The verdant green eyes deeply looking into her coffee eyes like he has been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Reyyan then runs inside putting her fingers to her lips. Leaning on the door, she puts both of her hands to her heart and enthusiastic smile made its way to her face as she feels her heart racing. She then pulls her self together but still the smile was on her face, then walks to her room with her mind replying that moment.

Miran clenches his jaw to the thought of the kiss as his heart shouldn't be racing as well and his mind shouldn't be replying that moment as well. He hated whatever feeling was created inside of him and tries to control his heart. He was happy just a couple a minutes ago but now he's angry. He looks at his wedding ring on his finger and a tear pricked his eyes, not knowing what to do anymore.
