As the sun began its descent, casting a warm golden hue over the sprawling cityscape, Maloi and Yanna emerged from the tranquil embrace of the garden, their spirits lifted by the serenity of nature. Despite the calming ambiance, a lingering worry still tugged at Maloi's heartstrings, a concern that she couldn't quite shake off. Yet, Yanna's reassuring smile, though perhaps a touch weary, conveyed a sense of resilience that eased Maloi's apprehensions.
Seated comfortably in Maloi's car, they pondered over where to satisfy their hunger, the rumble of anticipation mingling with the gentle hum of the engine. It was then that they thought of Japanese food, a memory of flavors past and shared moments of culinary delight. Maloi steered the car towards the familiar enclave of the Japanese restaurant she knew well.
"We've been there once, you liked the food naman there no?" Maloi asked, her eyes briefly glancing towards Yanna, seeking affirmation amidst the dusk-kissed ambiance. Yanna's response, a nod accompanied by a tender smile, echoed with a subtle assurance, affirming her contentment with the choice.
"Yeah, I'm fine with that. I'll just message Myles that I'm going to be eating dinner with you."

As Yanna finished typing her message to Myles, a faint unease fluttered in her chest. She couldn't shake the worry that had been gnawing at her since morning, the silence from Myles's end amplifying her concern. Yet, she pushed those thoughts aside, attributing Myles's lack of response to the demands of their busy schedules, hoping silently that her partner was simply in need of rest.
"We're almost there na," Maloi's voice interrupted her thoughts, drawing her attention back to the present moment. Yanna glanced out the window, the passing scenery a blur of lights and shadows, a testament to the swift passage of time. The journey to the restaurant, though brief, felt like an eternity, anticipation mounting with each passing second.
As Maloi expertly maneuvered the car into a parking spot, they both stepped out onto the pavement, the crisp evening air a refreshing contrast to the warmth of the car's interior. Maloi lingered by something, looking for something in the car, told Yanna to go ahead.
Even in the outside the tantalizing aroma of Japanese cuisine enveloped her senses, a symphony of savory scents that teased her palate. With a sense of anticipation tingling in her veins, Yanna scanned the exterior of the restaurant, her gaze sweeping over the familiar façade in search of a sign of familiarity.
And then, amidst the bustling crowd and the vibrant tapestry of colors, she spotted her. A figure, a silhouette of someone she knew all too well, standing at the threshold of the restaurant. Yanna's heart skipped a beat as recognition dawned, her breath catching in her throat.
"Hey? I told you to go first na-" Maloi's voice broke through her reverie, her words tinged with confusion as she noticed Yanna's gaze fixed on something beyond her line of sight. Yanna blinked, tearing her eyes away from the figure she had spotted, her mind reeling with disbelief.
Maloi's gaze followed Yanna's, and in an instant, her expression mirrored Yanna's shock. Without waiting for Yanna to speak, Maloi gently took her hand, guiding her back towards the car, a silent understanding passing between them.
The air between them crackled with unspoken questions, the weight of uncertainty pressing down upon their shoulders like a heavy burden. And as they retreated to the sanctuary of their vehicle, the silence hung heavy in the air, punctuated only by the soft hum of the engine and the distant murmur of the bustling city beyond.\
