Confused feelings

Garu's pov:

The silence filled the room, leaving me, Ching and Abyo eating our noodles. I can tell that they were a bit disappointed too when pucca left. i sighed and broke the silence.

"Pucca really changed huh?.." i muttered, My chest felt Heavy. Not knowing why, i sighed again scratching the back of my head.
"She really did, but i can't blame her"
Ching spoke and sighed, mixing her noodles as she looked down.
Abyo noticed her girlfriend, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Well..since I'm here, i might aswell get back to my job here in Goh rong to help her." i mumbled out and looked at the both of them. Ching looked up at me and smiled softly..
"Please, I miss her so much. We barely hang out now." she said biting her lip trying not to get the best of her emotions. Abyo gave me a thumbs up and continued to hug his girlfriend to ease her emotions. I nodded to the both of them, chuckling as i noticed they were still affectionate.

After a while, we finished eating. Both Ching and Abyo left. I also went to Pucca's uncles, telling them about my decision in going back to working at Goh rong, being their supplier. To run around again and fetch some ingredients for their famous noodles. Just like i imagined, they were all happy and agreed. Before leaving, i looked up and saw Pucca's room, Her door closed, she was probably sleeping.. exhausted. "You're probably tired..huh?, don't worry. I'm here now..Pucca" i thought to myself as i smiled and left the restaurant.

I walked along Sooga village, feeling nostalgia as i looked around. Everything looked the same, From the smell of the air... to the people who walked by. Greeting me every now and then. I missed this so much, i missed those delicious noodles.. i missed these people, My best friends and.. i missed.. pucca.

My body stumbled, What?.. did i just- Wait no.. I probably meant it as in i missed her just like what i feel about the others!.. Yeah. Probably... Right?. I sighed to myself and just kept walking, what was happening to me?.. Why can't i stop thinking about her?.

Ever since that day, the day i left Sooga village. The day i saw her eyes, almost as if pleading me to stay. I couldn't get her out of my head. Her Expression, the guilt never left my chest.. Guilty that i left her for 2 whole years just because of a Mission.
I always thought to myself, "Was this all..worth it?".

After a while i reached my old house, Inside the bamboo forest. Taking in the familiar scenery, I walked in avoiding the traps i once made inside for Tobe and his Minions. I layed down on the bed, sighing as i looked up at the ceiling. I'm finally home, Where I'm supposed to be. Where I'm meant to be, i chuckled placing my arms behind my head and sat up. Looking at the pictures displayed on top of my drawers. I smiled seeing one of the pictures, A picture of Me and Miyo.. my old cat. I miss him so much, He died before i left Sooga Village. He was practically 17 years old when he did, wich was really old in cat years.

I then looked at the other pictures my eyes widened, seeing one of them. A picture of Me and pucca when we were children, she was smudging me with kisses. I laughed softly.. reaching my hand out to grab and take a look at it more.

"I don't remember putting you here?.." i chuckled my fingers caressing the glass part of the picture frame. Looking at Pucca's once warm and fuzzy expression. I tilted my head, my hand resting on my cheek as i gazed at the picture. After a while, I placed it back on top of the drawer. Confused about what I'm currently feeling about her. I Rest my head against the pillows and i closed my eyes.

I'll get to the bottom of this.
