My only source of light

[54]

On the colorful and crowded street, a multitude of people were walking among the stands that are selling various items.

Among the crowd of human there were two people who were walking and looking everywhere, trying not to leave anything unnoticed.

The sun was still high in the sky but it wasn't going to stay there for long, at some point he was going to hide behind the horizon, letting the moon rise and look over the city.

The two walked together, side by side, hands still joined, stopping at each stall to have a better look. Senju pulled Mikey after her, stopping at a stall that sold many headbands with different ears.

She took the one with the big rabbit ears, turning towards him and placing it on his head. When she saw him she couldn't stop laughing but also snapping a quick picture before he could take them off.

While she was laughing Senju didn't notice the boy as he walked away from her, returning with another rabbit headband.

After he placed the ears on her head, the boy smiled, watching as the girl started to stop laughing looking at him questioningly.

Without saying anything the girl looked at the reflection on the phone that was showing her face, seeing how she looks with the big rabbit ears.

She opened her phone and turned on the camera, after which she took a selfie with both of them when the boy wasn't looking.

In the first picture he didn't notice the phone, the boy was looking to the right side looking at something, in the second he was looking at her, he must have heard when she took the first picture, him looking at her face when she looked at the phone.

This time on the third he was looking at the phone, making this the best shot. The rabbit ears were placed on his head, with a serious expression on his face that made the picture much funnier than it should have been.

While the two were talking and Senju was taking some more pictures, the lady at the stall was looking at them with a twinkle in her brown eyes.

"You look good!"

It was Senju who answered the lady, smiling gratefully as the woman complimented the two of them.

"Thank you!"

"In my youth, my husband and I met at one of these stalls."

The girl thought that their meeting was a very cute one, especially since they had remained married until that moment.

Before Senju could say anything the woman say something else before she could say anything, continuing her story and leaving the two young adults shocked.

"When my husband died of cancer five years ago, I was left alone. But I hope you two stay together for a long time."

The first time neither of them had understood what she meant by staying together, but after a few seconds they both understood where the woman wanted to go with that conversation.

When the two looked at the woman and saw the look of pain and sadness in her eyes none of them had the strength to correct her.

The woman noticed something when Senju raised her hand to remove the rabbit's ears, so she addressed the boy.

"Young man put a ring on the girl's finger before you will regret it. Life is something we didn't have the power to control, so if you're sure of the choice you've made, hurry."

Mikey didn't know what to say so he kept quiet but when he saw how intently the woman was looking at his face he couldn't help but nod his head yes.

"You have to take care of her and make sure she's happy and healthy. If she's okay and you're gonna be okay, that's mean your gonna be happy. And you must do the same for him."
