Serena's POV:

"I want this moment to go on... forever... and ever..." I whispered to myself.

I continued to watch Ash as moment went on regardless of my wish

I continued to watch Ash as moment went on regardless of my wish. After a brief moment of silently watching the fireworks. I broke the silence.

"Hey!... Can I ask you something?..." I asked hesitantly tugging on Ash's back. "Hmm!.. sure!" He said turning to me. At this moment my emotions urged me to hug him and never let go.

But; I wasn't able to do it.' I am pathetic ' I thought. Still; my emotions didn't calmed down. I put both my hands on Ash's shoulders and looked at him.

I was forced by my emotions ended up in this semi hug. I wanted to speak; but I wasn't able to say anything. For a moment, it was like all the words are stuck in my throat and wouldn't come out.

Ash put his arms around my waist and pulled me into a hug. I couldn't see his face; still felt Ash's warmth in his embrace and wrapped my arms around his neck and melt down.

"What's wrong?" Ash asked me with concerned voice. I wanted to tell everything; and ask for his forgiveness and beg for his affection for life time. But; I couldn't.

I was afraid; afraid that this moment could be our last together; if say it. In fear of losing him, confusion of what to say? and thoughts of losing Ash. Tears started to well up in my eyes.

"Wi-will you watch fireworks with... Me... Ne-next year too!..." I was only able to say that. I was crying at this very moment. I need to calm down; it's good Ash can't see I'm crying right now.

"I didn't knew you liked fireworks so much; you didn't needed to cry about this. I'll definitely watch it with you next year and years after that too!" Ash said stroking my hair.

As soon as; Ash said 'he will'. My tears stopped and a warm smile surfaced on  my face. But; wait! He knows I'm crying. How? Does he have eyes on back of his head too!.

For a moment; I really thought He has eyes on back of His Head. But; soon realised, I was being ridiculous. Did I let it slip; nope; there is no way I would. With that; I came to a conclusion.

"Hey! I'm not crying!" I lied. "You weren't! Sorry! I assumed you were crying by cracks in your voice" Ash said. So; that's it!. Good Thing; He didn't know I was actually crying just a moment ago.

Since; I've returned to normal. I broke the hug. Then; took Ash's concern face and cupped it. "I was just asking about watching the fireworks! Why would you assumed I was crying?" I asked.
