Eternal Love

CHAPTER 31

Ei's POV:

"It's a little late, Miko; are you tired yet?"

"Not yet," she said.

We walked for a bit after resting in the park. We're now walking near a lake; I'm surprised there aren't any more people here because, from what I've heard, this is a popular spot for couples.

It's a dating site for couples and.... I'm here with Miko.

"I see, let me know if you're tired, and I'll call Sas—er, your uncle,"

She laughed, which is music to my ears.

We sat on a nearby lake bench. It was a lovely view, we could see the city lights reflected in the lake, and the moonlight was shining on us, especially Miko.

She looks so pretty under the moonlight, it makes her amethyst-like eyes shine. It's a beautiful sight for me, and it's my favorite thing to look at. Her pink hair glows and it really catches my eyes. Her face looks so.... angelic, it's like she came from heaven... I mean, Celestia.

I can't believe the girl I was in love with back then.... is right in front of me, and I feel like a fool for forgetting about her in such an accident.

She smiled as she noticed me staring at her. "Why are you staring at me like that?" she asked, laughing.

"I.... I just thought you were so beautiful in the moonlight,"

Her eyes widen, did I just say it out loud? Shit.

"I-I mean....you're incredibly b-beautiful, I always hear that from my c-classmates and other students," I said. Someone please kill me, this is so embarrassing.

"But you're more beautiful, Ei. I'm lucky to be called beautiful by you, and I'd date you if I could," she chuckled.

"Then why don't you?" I asked. "Why don't you what?" she said, her eyes wide with confusion.

"Why don't you date me?" I said.

I realized what I said when she didn't say anything. "I-I'm just joking," I said awkwardly.

"I know, Ei," she said, her sad eyes on me. Did I make her.... sad?

"You know, I just feel that.... I have known you for a long time, and.... it's strange. I keep having these weird dreams that I was talking to a girl. I'm disappointed because I can't see the girl's face. We keep having these talks about dating and marriage, and it's not even a joke. It feels like that.. girl promised me that she will marry me. When I woke up I have tears in my eyes, and feel that something is really missing inside me,

She's.... talking about the past. I had the same dream as she did, but I was the first to remember it.

Should I make her remember? But it's painful. The car crash back then was traumatizing. I remember I was separated from her because of that. We got into different hospitals and we never saw each other again. 

"And I have a feeling that girl is around me at times."

She is

"It's as if she's always with me," 

She is with you

"And.... it feels like she's you," she said, her eyes fixed on mine.

I am her

I was about to tell her about it.

"But it looked impossible, I mean... thinking about it, there seemed to be no way," she said.
