A/N: Shout-out to my friends who helped me in this chapter. You know who you are. Thank you! :D Wait, I have friends? Sugoi ne! Haha.
POV: Aimee
We already started our tonight's activity. Each set of partners has now their own places to conduct the activity. Meanwhile, Ziegfried and I were sitting in a grass field, not far from our campsite.
Damn! It's so awkward. It's been ages since we got here but we never talked even a single word. I never heard silence quite this loud! I changed the way I am sitting and stared the starry night sky. Later on, a cold night breeze passed us.
"Wooh! It's so coooold!" I whispered to myself.
Ziegfried noticed it and asked me, "Are you feeling cold? Wait... Why are you wearing sleeveless in the times like this?" He's slowly removing his jacket, maybe he will give it to me.
"No.. I'm fine –"
"You fine? Oh, stop it. I saw how you reacted when the wind came." He put his jacket above my shoulders and covered my whole body.
I felt the warmth of his body from his jacket and I smell the scent of his perfume. His classic perfume. "Thank you for this. I thought we will just sit around the bonfire."
He laughed at me. Wait, did I say something funny? Psh.
And once again, our communication went cold. All I can hear are the crickets dominating the noises. To my surprise, he asked me, "Hey Aimee. Do you believe in... destiny?"
I laughed to his question, "Pfft. What kind of question is that? It's so deep! I can't even comprehend it!"
He smiled, "The question just popped out in my head. Sorry."
Okay, this is better. At least, we have something to talk about...
I asked him the same question he asked me, "How about you, do you believe in destiny?" I want to hear his thoughts about this.
"Hmm. Maybe? Let me ask you this, what's the point that we picked the same number 8?"
I said, "Maybe it's just a mere coincidence." But yeah, it's an interesting question.
"Mere coincidence huh?" He put out the paper that has a number eight written on it. I also looked that paper. "Think of this, number eight is a very significant number for us because every 8th of the month, we were celebrating our months-ary."
Oh yea, he's right.
"What day is today?" he asked.
Hmm. I wonder. "August 8? Yes, today is August 8."
August 8? Shocks!
"Yup. Today was supposedly our third anniversary." He sighed in front of me, a very deep sigh while he is looking afar. "Geez. I never thought that this moment will happen until we graduated. But it seems the destiny made way for us."
I froze to where I am sitting. Things are starting to 'sink in' in my brain.
"So... What now? In the past few years, this kind of set-up is kinda tiring, isn't? Maybe it's time for us to break the barrier between us.... Okay, I'll start this..." He's struggling to express himself in words. He paused for a while and 'deep sighed' once again.
"I wish you will be able to forgive me... to all the things that I've done... that made your life miserable... To all my shortcomings to you... I know, I've done a lot of damage to you, after all, the good things you did to me. Believe me or not, I deeply, sincerely, regret all of those!" He bent down his head, "I'm very, very, very sorry...."
