ALIGNED BY TIME AND HEART

EVENINGS AND PROMISES (36)

- ' It's...splendid! '

Lisa managed to say only this after staring at the view infront of her for more than 2 minutes.

After coming back to the main city, Jennie took her to the top of an abandoned building - a place she always visits since her teen days.

It was just after the sunset...but the blush pink patch of sun is still vivid on the now darkening blue sky. Some stars were visible and glittering brightly.

Most of the city was to be seen from that point- from skyscrapers with bright lights to roads full of running cars... everything was there.

- ' You like it? '
Jennie said with a questioning tone and Lisa flashed one of her brightest smiles
- ' I love it! It's...soo....amazing and new. I've never seen something like this before.'
Jennie smiled fondly and sat down besides her.
For some moments, none of them said anything.....just admiring the breathtaking night that was approaching slowly.

- ' I...will miss this place. '
Lisa's sudden voice startled Jennie as she looked at her.
- ' I will miss living here...I will miss Namjoon oppa...Taehyung...that house... this view...I will miss everything.'
- ' And...me? You'll not miss me? '
Lisa turned to face her with a smile and gaze that Jennie couldn’t read.
- ' People miss those who are not with them...who are far away. But..you'll never be away from me Jennie. I will always remember you like you're next to me. '
- ' You'll...not forget me? '
- ' Not possible in this life Miss Kim. '
Jennie felt something she never felt. Suddenly, it was only the two of them.. suddenly the bustling city was quiet... suddenly her heart danced and clenched at the same time.

- ' Jen?'
- ' Hmm?'
- ' Is it not possible to meet again once we'll go back? '

Jennie looked down. She herself was in utter confusion. After the failure... she couldn’t assure anything.

- ' I...don't know Lis...I don't know anything. We're trying and seems like we're progressing...but nothing is guaranteed in these matters. '
- ' So....how many days more? '
- ' Approx.. 60 maybe.'
- ' Then it will be a goodbye forever? '

Jennie looked in a different direction to hide the sorrow of her face.
- ' After Chaeyoung...you're my only friend. You..understood me as I really am in such short time span..it will be hard to say goodbye to you. It will be really hard... I will remember  you always Jennie. Can you try to make that door which will open again? So that...we can meet again? '

The urge in Lisa's voice hit Jennie hardly...and without any thinking, she turned around and held both of Lisa's hands and looked right into her eyes
- ' I am trying...and I will try every possible ways to meet you again. I promise Lisa...we'll..meet again. Just, don't give up on me...please..wait for me  when you'll go back. Only oppa and Tae are the ones who stayed in my life for a long time. Otherwise, everyone just.. leaves. I'll not let you go Manoban... we'll meet again. And before you go back, we'll spend this 60 days like we're living our lifetime. Okay? '

A single drop of tear slipped out of the butler's eyes as she brightly smiled
- ' I'll wait for you Jen...and yes... we'll live fully before going back. I promise. Just...keep working. '
Jennie returned the smile with equal share of emotions as she held the other's hand closer to her chest.

Evening took over the sky with all its charms and glamours as the city shined under the dark sky. The two ladies kept watching the city, hand in hand for a bit more before heading back to home.

Goodbyes are....hard indeed. Specially when the person is too close to you.

With this emotional moment they've shared, let's see what new turns their relation takes.
