MOJIBYON LIORA

10. The Revelation. Part 1

Matt's POV.

Watching Li's reaction warmed my heart, she looked at me with such intensity that it was enough to make a grown man cry from sheer emotion. Li was about to hug me when her dad beat her at it, she laughed and joined in teary eyed.
I hugged them both with love, her dad started to feel like my own not gonna lie plus won't he become one once I marry her? I could feel myself smile.
"Well Matt quite a gift, I love seeing thoughtful youngsters"
"Pleasure is all mine uncle."
"Call me dad since you're gonna marry her anyway."
I blink twice at his words. It was quite a coincidence for him to say it when those were my exact thoughts seconds before. As though he just read my mind. I hug him happily and eye Li, who is a shade of bright tomato.
We have an amazing time watching Li's favourite the one and only NARUTO and her dad preparing for a fresh batch of cookies and cake at 12.30 am mind you.
She lay her head on my shoulder and man my heart drum was on beat mode pro max. I wrapped my hands around her and I could feel her smile. Only if she knew how badly I was waiting for her to grow up and marry me, man I swear I'm gonna stare at her everyday! She laughs at her dad who is in a goofy panda costume and I shift back to reality, he was balancing cake and cookies with one hand and balloons in another.
Li smiles and run towards her dad hugging him tight, I take those fresh goodies and set it on the table and we celebrate Li's birthday she was litrally laughing her head off at the goofy dance that uncle was performing while singing birthday song, I joined in the song part and I could feel Li's happiness as she was happily blowing candles and immediately started eating cake,she looked at me with a smile reaching eyes and mouth stuffed to max capacity. That's the girl I wanna grow old with, celebrate all moments with and teach her that you gotta offer a piece of cake to the person who sings her birthday song as tax.. I could not help but smile while she was just digging in the cake brutally. She's definitely not aware that she needs to offer others as well. Her dad laughs and looks at me before adding, "We've never had any guest before she doesn't know that she gotta offer. She thinks that's her cake entirely which it is, quite litrally since I don't eat cake.. She's been eating her whole cake alone as a birthday ritual." He answers my thoughts that must have been showing on my questionable face which gave me away. Li looks my way when she hears our convo. Embarrassed and flustered she runs to the kitchen and comes back with a plate and asks me to join, handing me the knife to cut and take my share. I dig in without hesitation and man the cake was delicious. I look at uncle Jo who is smiling proudly. I give him thumbs up, to which he mouths 'I know.' its was about 30 past 3 as I hear a loud bong from the watch at opposite wall which looked hundreds of years old in the least . That's quite an odd timing for the watch to strike at . I feel a sudden buzz of electricity in the room I turn towards Li to see if she felt the same and...
I look towards uncle in panic and he has tears in his eyes. Oh my God what's happening?! Where's Li. All I see is a different being beside me. Deep navy blue hair, skin as pale as porcelain, lips a few shades darker than my Li's. She was calmly eating cake that was with Li moments before. Oh my goodnesss what's happening... Where's my Li, I panic before this someone looks at me with eyes deep red and somewhere I sense my Li in her.
"Matt I know I'm beautiful in sweat pants and a tangled mess of hair but please stop staring..oh my God you are crying? Whats wrong?" she sets her cake aside and and scoots near to hug me. I feel tears rolling down my cheeks involuntarily. What's going on is the only thing drilling my mind! Am I dreaming? Yes that surely explains, that's a weird dream.
'Li go look at yourself in mirror', uncle Joe pipes in lovingly with tears and a huge smile.
'Who are you?' I question cautiously, to which she laughs and hits my shoulder like Li.
