Present
Freezy wind blow in my skin as I walked by the seashore. It's 5 o'clock in the afternoon and the skies are starting to get yellowish. A favorite sight that I'll never be tired of.
A moment of silence where I reminisce everything, building and planning my future. Hoping one day it will come true.

"Bec, how was your entrance exam at Harvard University?" Freen asked. "The results will be out 3 days from now, I'm kind of nervous. What if I failed Freen? What if I didn't make it? That is my ideal University, you know they're known for top Law School." Becky sighed.
Freen picked up some pebbles and throws at the water. "I know you will make it Beck... Uhm I will leave tomorrow, sharp at 6 o'clock in the evening. I got my results in Royal College of Art one of the University that I applied. I will pursue fine arts as what I have decided before." Freen sadly stated.
Becky gasped at the shocking news but didn't complain, she knows this is Freen want to do since they are in high school. Becky patted the brunette girl's shoulder and said "Congrats Freen! I'm glad to hear that news, you know that I will support you in everything you want Freen." and flashed her little smile.
Freen smiled back and get something in her pocket. A navy blue box with the logo of a known jewelry brand. She opened it and get the necklace. "Bec, since we're going to be away from each other for a long time I will leave this necklace to you as a sign of our special bond." The silver necklace was simple and had a pendant of initial F. Freen carefully wear it to Becky. "Thank you, Freen. It's really beautiful." Becky said while holding the pendant of the necklace.
Freen showed the other necklace and it has a B initial in its pendant. Becky volunteers to help Freen to wear it. "Freen, let me help you to wear it." Freen nodded and swiftly give the necklace to Becky.
After some time Freen is drowned in her mind. Why do we have different dreams? Aish... It's frustrating but I need to do it to provide a good future to my Becky. Freen still battling in her mind. Becky noticed it and asked, "What with your long-faced Freen?"
Freen shook her head "It's nothing Bec, I will just miss this scenery with you. Watching this sunset in our haven." Becky just replied with a little smile understanding what her special friend felt because she feel it too. The blonde girl just rests her head on the shoulder of the brunette girl beside her. Quietly staring at the mesmerizing skies and listening to the waves of an ocean and pigeons flying back in forth hunting for their possible prey.
After a while, Freen is admiring the cute girl sleeping beside her. Just fixing some strands of her hair that blocked her view. "What a beautiful angel who was lost on this Earth," Freen whispered.
It's getting darker and she is hesitant to wake up the girl beside her but it's getting late and she doesn't have a choice but to cut the peaceful sleep of the blonde girl. She gently taps Becky's shoulder "Becbec, wake up..." but the blonde girl is a heavy sleeper as always so she needs to repeat "Becbec... Bec... Bec..." Freen sighed. "Babeeeee." Gladly the blonde girl woke up smiling widely after hearing the endearment Freen gave to her.
"Hi babe, good morning." Becky teasing after some stretching. Freen abruptly stands up because of embarrassment, and a shed of red tint appears on her cheeks. She starts walking away smiling widely, leaving the girl behind.
"Babeeeee, wait for me," Becky shouted. Freen stop and look back to where the voice came from. She just shakes her head slightly and smiles at the sight of sulking Becky. "What a baby..." she mumbled.
"I thought you were gonna sleep there because of the loud snore you had earlier," Freen said and chuckled a little. Becky still sulking, stomping her feet while walking. "You owed me a ride babe because you're teasing me." Freen looks confused at the blonde girl "What ride are you talking about?" Becky stop and pull Freen arms "My feet are hurt and kind of sleepy, so can you carry me on your back on our way home?" Becky pouted hoping that her cuteness will affect Freen.
Without further ado because she can't handle the cuteness of Becky "Aye aye captain." Freen salutes playfully and bends his knee low so that Becky can reach her. On their way home they just continue bickering and laughing over random kinds of stuff.

Not far from where Freen standing is, she noticed a silhouette of a shoulder-length hair of a blonde woman staring at the pink skies. "You're 10 minutes late Freen." the woman said after checking her watch. "Uhm... I didn't know you were that excited to see me." Freen replied smugly. "You don't know how I really miss you babe." the woman said with a bone-crashed hug. "I miss you too Bec," Freen said lovingly while caressing the back of the girl.
"Uhm..." Freen trying to start the conversation "How are you Bec?" Freen asked breaking the hug and looking at the face of the girl that she love the most. "I'm more than okay Freen when I see you," Becky replied lovingly.
"Freen I have something to tell you. Uhm... I think it was the right time to do this, now that we are both stable financially and emotionally. I'm just saying that I think we also need to step up our relationship too." Becky shyly confessed. Freen gasped upon realizing what the other girl is trying to tell her. No... no... she can't do this.
"Will you...?" Becca continue her statement but was suddenly interrupted by Freen. "No, Beck." After hearing an answer from Freen, a single teardrop fall into Becky's eye and is followed by non-stop tears. Realization hits Becca, well after many years, I think she already finds the one. What a waste of time, she didn't know how much courage I build to confess but only rejected.
Becky sighed and looked into the eyes of the girl that she expected to be with her forever but not. I think I'm too late for her, she already decided but why she didn't tell me? Why does she leave me hanging? I can't accept it! I am Rebecca Patricia Armstrong and I'm not that easy to give up. Man up Patricia! Becky told to herself.
Freen interrupted the deeper thought of the attorney beside her. She caressed the cheeks of the crying lady using her thumb to remove the stain of tears on her face. Freen felt a pang in her chest and guilt to witness her favorite person crying. "Bec, I think you misunderstood me. I came back here to fulfill my promise to you and this place." Freen said grinning widely.

A sulking Becca is to be seen at the front of the seashore throwing some pebbles in the water. "Becca, what's with the sulking face huh?" Freen asked intrigued. Becca picks up additional pebbles because some of them in her hands are totally consumed. "Just Thai subject, it's stressing me out." Becca clamps her hand to dust off the sand that come from the pebble earlier and put it to her face staring at the skies again. Freen shook her head and chuckled a bit. "You know, it's just a simple problem comparing when we become partners in the future," Freen said teasingly. Becca's face lit up to the unexpected words that she heard. "Freen, you mean what you said?" Becca asked boosting her hope. "Yeah, I promise to you Bec after we achieved our dreams and become successful people I will ask your hand here in the same place," Freen said diligently.

"Sorry for interrupting you Becca, but I can't be allowed you to do that because I promise that I am the one who will propose to you." Freen chuckles and boops her nose. Freen suddenly kneels in front of Rebecca "Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, having you by my side is what completes me, makes me, and fulfills me. I love the feeling and the butterflies I get when I see you smiling. I would love for you to grow old with me! I never wish to be parted from you, from this day on. Be mine through the thick and thin of life." she gets the velvety ring box from her pocket and opens it showing the exclusive diamond ring that she designs.
Becky was shocked by the revelation that she witnessed, a lone tear suddenly escape from her eyes because of the overwhelming sensation. "Yes, Freen! Yes!" Becky burst out. Freen carefully wears the ring on Becky's finger and hugs her girl tightly. Shedding tears because of the joy she felt.
It's always worth the wait, our sanctuary is the witness of everything.
End.
