Meet me on the bridge

Chapter 17: Welcome Home, Senior [END]

A few years have passed by, Amy has graduated and became the kindergarten teacher that she dreamed to be.

She always returned back to Leo's house to take care of Francis.

"Hi Mr.Francis, I am back,"

"Ahh, Amy. How was your day?" asked Francis.

"It was fine and thanks for asking me, Mr. Francis?"

"By the way, Amy. Do you know when Leo will return? I feel lonely without him..."

"I am sorry but I don't have any answers for that. But you do have a point. Without Leo, I have also felt so lonely," said Amy, looking downwards.

"Anyways, what is tonight's dinner?" asked Francis.

"Today I am in a rush, so I prepared some egg fried rice for you."

"Anything is fine because I know Amy's good cooking will make a good daughter-in-law of mine,"

Amy blushed and left no words to say to Francis.

After the visit, Amy passed by from the park near the school. She went in and walked, the old memories with Leo filling her mind.

The sun was about to set and she arrived at the bridge where she first confessed her feelings to Leo.

She went to the middle of the bridge and reflected on the confession scene.

Tears started to stream from her forlorn eyes.

"I... miss... you... Leo... Where are you now?" said Amy while crying quietly.

Suddenly a familiar voice appeared behind her ears.

"What if I say I am always here, right beside you,"

Amy turned around and burst into tears. It was Leo and he had finally come back.

"Idiot, idiot, idiot. What took you so long to come back, idiot Leo,"

"I ran into some problems during my last year over there," said Leo. "I had to stay back for another year because of that."

"Idiot, now tell me, tell me your answer,"

"Amy, I know you have been waiting for so long for this moment, I just want to ask you. Will you marry me?"

Amy, with tears of joy, happily accepted his proposal and they both lived the lives that they had yearned for, happily ever after.

The End
