Love burns brighter...

Chapter 12

I have managed to go through this chapter only once for errors. So please bear in mind that this may contain errors. I hope you'll like it. I will deliver the next chapter much sooner than it took me to deliver this one.

Blessings

Important Note : - for some strange reason, Wattpad is showing lot lesser word count when i publish it. originally it is suppose to be 20,000 odd words but what it shows is 18,000 odd. See if there is anything missing while reading. Please let me know if it does. I will have to split the chapter in to two and publish.

Republic City

Evening...

The bar tender lands another pint full of dark beer on the table. Mako took a mouthful of it and looked around.

"It seems like the day off for your sir..." said the barmen while wiping the table.

"Yeah... I just got couple of days off..." said Mako in a bored tone.

From the side of his right eye he saw someone taking a seat right next to him.

"A blonde beer please..."

"Coming right up..." said the barmen in a lively tone.

Mako turned at the newcomer since he felt that voice is sounds extremely familiar. He had felt a sudden startling sensation within him as his eyes gazed upon her. She turned towards him and smiled.

"Hi Mako...? Trying to burn your day off in the bar?" she asked.

"Oh hi Kuvira...! I mean..." Mako felt lost within his own words, so he cleared his throat.

"Had too much to drink already...?" Kuvira asked with raised eye brows and a smile from corner of her mouth.

"No... no... I don't drink like that..." replied Mako with a shy smile.

"Well it's good then... a man shouldn't drink beyond his limits..." said Kuvira.

He looked at her again from top to bottom since his vision is slightly blurry after the second pint. She's wearing a black jacket over a green collarless t-shirt and a matching pair of darkest blue fit jeans along with comfortable footwear. Her dark slightly curly hair is set loose.

"Yes...? May I help you...?" she asked him as he kept staring at her.

"Oh! I am sorry... I was just wandering... When were you released from the hospital...?" Mako asked.

"Just a little while ago..." said Kuvira.

Barmen kept the beer she ordered on the table. Mako smirked as she grabbed the beer.

"What...? Don't tell me you haven't seen a girl drinking a beer before?" she asked.

"No... it's not that. You were just released from the hospital and you came straight in to a bar..." said Mako rubbing his forehead.

"Oh, no, don't get me wrong, I am not an alcoholic, it's just that Lin dropped me here and she told me that you wanted to meet me..." said Kuvira.

"She what...? How does she even know that I am here...?" said Mako in an amused tone.

"I have no idea about that... she picked me up from the hospital and kept on talking about you..." said Kuvira.

"Really...? What did she say about me...?" Mako asked.

"She told me about how you join up with the republic city police and came up with the ranks. I must say that getting good marks for something you did from Lin isn't easy... You must be a very hard working man for her to praise you like that" said Kuvira as she drinks her beer.
