Lyndon immediately embrace her tightly and smiled relievedly at their abrupt reunion.
"I'm out of words." Lyndon softly said, "I didn't expect that I'll see you right here, right now.
I missed you."
Why? Why do you expect to see me again?
The story that you told me with your mural.
The angel who descended that you've dreamed of is nothing else but a dying star with a celestial body.
I'm afraid that you'll be disappointed the moment you find out the truth.
But look now,
with this frail body that I have abnormally glowing skin, I thought you'd be scared. Yet you've welcomed me with your arms and uttered a word that I really wanted to hear.
A word that reminds me that someone remembers me at least.
"I...I'm sorry... if I keep it a secret." Stella sniffling replied, "Thank you, for missing me...
I'm here now."
Stella and Lyndon genuinely embrace each other after the long search for the mysterious lady at the park field.
The next day...
Both Stella and Lyndon were asleep on the same bed; exhausted from crying too much last night.
....
.........
Stella woke up and agitatedly stand up after seeing Lyndon sleeping next to her.
"Ahhhh!!!" She startled screamed; Lyndon immediately woke up from the scream, "What are you doing in my bed, Mr. Lee!?"
"What?" Lyndon half-asleep replied.
"Oh no... what would I say to my co-staff?" Stella frantically said.
"For your information, you're the one who's in MY bed. right now." Lyndon bluntly replied.
Stella instantly checked the room and anxiously dashed out of the room when she realized she was wrong.
Lyndon softly chuckles, "you'll be late for work if you're so frantic like that."
QUEEN'S RESTAURANT
Last night, I poured all my tears into his arms. Though he never really asked me anything why am I or what was happening to me?
He just embrace me and comfort me all night. Which is why I'm too embarrassed to see him at work this noon.
"Leave your imagination world for now or else the plates will start having molds. Ms. White." Rey suddenly whispered to Stella who's washing dishes.
Stella freaked out.
"Owner! Stop popping out like that!" Stella anxiously said, "it's bad for my heart."
"I see... I see..." Rey sneeringly replied, "So, you guys are getting well lately now that you're sensitive."
Stella flushed reacts to Rey's mockery.
"Stop teasing me!" Stella flusteredly replied.
Thenceforth, noon came and Lyndon came on the right time.
He somehow looks more calm than usual and he works with such ease. I thought I may be the only one who was flustered back then.
But whenever met our eyes, we flusteredly look away and glanced at each other again.
He's quiet and composed today and I feel very warm and comfortable just by working beside him in every particular way.
I want to treasure this precious moment we have right now...
Just this time ...
Their work at Queen's went smoothly in the end and both of them went back to their home.
LEE'S RESIDENT
"Aren't you gonna ask me anything about the strange thing that happened last night, Mr. Lee?"
Stella softly asked.
Lyndon paused and turned around to her
"I'm curious." Lyndon calmly replied, "The truth is there's plenty that I want to ask, but I strangely can't put it in a word."
"Then I will tell you everything I know."
Stella nervously exhaled
"The truth is my real name is Saiph and I'm a dying star who exploded five years ago. The day where we first met." Stella gently grabbed Lyndon's cold hands, "I don't have much time left, but will you let me spend the rest of my life with you?"
Lyndon is confused and doubting at first, but he watches Stella's serious expression that he was hinted at that she was not bluffing at all.
"You don't have what...?" Lyndon repeated
