Lydia sat in front of Allyana and Allyana picked her up to turn her the other way around. Allyana took a brush from her bag and combed her hair sleek. She then braided the girl’s hair and tied it’s end with a ribbon she got from the table. Suddenly a little girl came to her.

“I want the braid too.” The little girl said.

“Here. Lydia, can you give your friend a space?”

Lydia nodded with excitement before she said thank you to Allyana and moved. Then Allyana did the same braid to the girl as she asked for her name. Thomas, who was looking in awe suddenly joined by Mrs Pilony.

“She’s beautiful inside and out.”  Mrs Pilony said.

“She is.”

“I heard you have IPF for a couple years now. Are you ok?”

“I’m fine. How do you know that?”

“I have sources. She doesn’t know, does she?”

Thomas had to shake his head, unfortunately. Because he hadn’t told her yet. That he had a disease. A deadly disease.

“She must know, you know.”

“I know.”

The time’s over and both Thomas and Allyana had to go home. They both said bye-s to the children and Mrs Pilony before they got in the car.

“You didn’t tell me that we were going to an orphanage house. Your orphanage house. I could’ve brought something.” Allyana said with regrets.

“You gave your love and attention. That’s more than enough.” Said Thomas with a smile.

“I… want to tell you something Allyana.” Thomas said.

“What is it?’

“I… I wear mask because I’m… I’m allergic to dust.”

Allyana nodded in agreement though her heart and brain disagreed of what she just heard. She didn’t believe that it’s just allergy that kept him from taking off his mask. With that, Thomas started his car as both of them waving to the children and Mrs Pilony once again.

A few minutes passed and they have arrived at Allyana’s house. As always, Thomas ran to open her door and walked her to her door, kissed her, and said goodnight.

“Ready for tomorrow?” Thomas asked after their lips parted.

“Born ready.” Said Allyana.

“See you tomorrow.”

Thomas kissed her once again before she walked to the door but he pouted his lips and Allyana smiled before she turned back and gives him a long kiss.

“Good night.” Allyana ended the conversation.

The next morning, Thomas had arrived at the café and waited for Allyana. A ton of excitement could be seen from Thomas’s big smile when Allyana walked through the door. They both took their orders and left the café. This time, not with Thomas’s car but with a train. He had bought tickets for the two of them days ago without Allyana knowing about a thing.

The train departed and Allyana hadn’t known a bit of anything about where they were going because Thomas hid their tickets. At least, until the train stopped and they walked through the roads of the city. Thomas took her hand, leading the two of them to a beach. He took off his clothes and jumped into the water.

“Jump!” Thomas yelled.

“Are you crazy!? The water is so cold!”

“I’m not crazy! It’s your favourite thing! Second! Favourite!”

Allyana couldn’t resist to not go into the water right after she took off her clothes. She swam towards Thomas and he caught her.

“You are crazy.”

“At least someone loves me.” Thomas said with a laugh.

“Oh. Is that so?”

“Yep.”

“And who is this someone who loves you?”

“You.”

“No, I don’t.”

“Yes, you do.”

“No, I don’t.”

“Yes, you do.”

“Yes, I do.” Allyana says after a brief moment of smile.

“And I love you.”

Thomas put his lips on hers. Swimming was good but it got colder and colder before they finally decided to get off the water and check into the hotel Thomas had booked.

“How can I not know anything about this?”

“Because I’m a good secret keeper?”

“Yeah you are.”

“I’m gonna pick you up again later at 11.”

“What for?”

“You’ll see.”

“Secrets again.”

Thomas only gave out a laugh which made Allyana even more frustrated of what his plan was. They kissed and got themselves into their room, cleaning themselves. Later, at 11. Thomas knocked on Allyana’s door and she opened it for him.

Turned out, he took her to the rooftop where mattress was laid and there were pillows on it. Allyana’s swept off by what she was looking at. She couldn’t believe that one guy could do this whole thing.

Later on, they both laid down on the mattress with Allyana’s head on Thomas’s chest looking at the night sky filled with shining stars and a bright moon.

“Oh I really love that one.” Allyana said as she pointed a star.

“There is really no big difference between them.”

“Of course there is. It’s Sirius. It is the brightest star you can see from Earth. That’s why it’s the biggest. It’s eight thousand six hundred and eleven light years away from Earth. That smaller one called Vega and it’s 25.05 light years away. While that orange one is Betelgeuse, 642.5 light years away.”

“You do like stargazing.”

“I do.”

It’s already late and they decided to go back to their rooms, resting their bodies and their eyes. It’s going to be a long night for Thomas since he couldn’t’t sleep because of his coughs. He tried to find his pills but he found nothing until he let the coughs continue and he fainted out.

Sorry for not updating yesterday. Technichal errors. But here it is, the next chapter of Allyana and Thomas. Enjoy. And see you all real soon!
