The Country and The City

Nostalgia

"Leri is that you?"

"Oh yes, I'm here to deliver thi-- wait, how'd you know my name?" I asked.

"Ummm... well your grandma called me that you'd be here." He said.

"I'm here to deliver this fruit basket sir.."

"What's with the "Sir" Leri? Haha we're just the same age! You don't remember me do you?."

Curious... "I'm sorry, but I think I haven't met you before.. and oh my work here is done, goodbye then." Weird... how does he knew that we're the same age... does he have psychic powers? Pffft haha that's impossible.

"I see.."

He seems sad..

"Well, time's change.. Let me walk you home." He insisted.

"Hehe No thank you, I'm fine by myself." I assured..

"Still I want to accompany you.. wait a minute... *picks up an umbrella*
I don't think that you can still remember the way..."

Oh right, crap!! I forgot to take the parchment back where grandma wrote the directions!!

"Alright then, if you insist.." I said.

"Okay! Well then, let's get going!!" He happily said.. he's just like a kid.. haha

He grabbed my hand and started to walk...

"Ummm, excuse me.."

"Yes? Oh your hand! Sorry.." he blushed..

"We're here!!"

"Huh? But that's the park! I don't live here." I think he's just making me a fool.

"I know silly, haha.. do you remember this park?"

"I think so, I think I went past here earlier." I said.

"Haha not that! Well, it's the same park but it's different than before, just like you.."

"Huh? I don't get it?"

"Let's go!" Once again he grabbed my hand and walked towards the park.

"Wait here.." he said..

The park is full of children playing. There's an empty elephant-shaped slide. I went there and I feel kinda weird... it's kinda old, I started to slide once..

Huh? A tear fell from my eye.. that's weird, I feel I played here before...
I can see myself playing with a kid..

 I saw him looking for me, so I called him..

"Hey! Umm..." Ugh my head feels weird.. *wiping my face*..

"Here you go.." he handed me a can of soda..

"Thank you!" How nice..

"Umm, that slide over there I think that's the oldest slide here.. since everything here got renovated."I said.

"Do you remember anything?" He's shocked..

"What's with this remembering stuff?  No, you dummy, I'm just observing here.."

"I see.." he looked down..

Pit, pat, pit, pat.... It started to rain.

"Le--" I was about to say something.

He hugged me.. as the rain fell hard

˚///^///˚
"Ummm.." I pushed him but he didn't let go..

"Oh sorry!!!! I'm so sorry.. Did I frightened you?" He said all flushed.
Then I think he just came to his senses.

"I was just sharing my umbrella with you so that you can't get wet..I only have one tho.." he explained.

"I-I see, thank you then.." o-kay, my heart can't stop thumping hard....

"Shall we go now?" He asked..

I nod and we started walking... I want to give some space between us because we're so close to each other then he suddenly braced my shoulder, keeping me closer...

I think I just flushed...

I looked at him, he's all red...
We're silent...

"Sorry, I noticed you're getting wet so I pulled you close.." he said not looking at me....breaking the silence.. I looked away...

"O-okay... it's okay.." I said while I'm trying to calm down my heart...

"So, how is your little sister doing?" He asked suddenly... I was shocked.. How did he know that I have a little sister? I just met him today..

"How did you kno----"
       "We're here!" He smiled..

I was dumbfounded.... we're at grandma's house..

"Oh Leri you're back already?" Grandma greeted..

"Yes grandma.. our customer helped me to get here.." I said after hugging grandma.

"How are you grandma? Thank you for the fruit basket and sending Leri to me." He said.

"I'm doing great as usual! Come let's go inside.."

"Huh?.." what happened???

At the living room..

"Leri, get this young master a towel and his clothes are in the closet at your old room.. I'm gonna prepare some tea.. and get yourself fixed up too!" Grandma said while going to the kitchen..

"Huh???? I'm confused.." what happened?? Young master? His clothes?

"I see that you're confused Leri.. I'll tell you all the details when you're ready.." He said...

I hurriedly gave him a towel then finding his clothes..
Why does he have clothes in my room?

Ah found it.. I gave his clothes to him.. then I take a shower, fixing myself up..

I hurriedly go downstairs..

"What he's gone already????"
