The distance between us [Nagikae]

Part 10

Some years ago....

" W-Wait a second!! Are you serious?! " Flustered the young lady with her face blushed as red as a tomato

The guy in front of her stood there silently, his face turns red also his ears. He took a while before nodded to the girl's question. The girl was in awed, she couldn't believe her eyes, she asked herself multiple times if she was dreaming this whole time. Suddenly the boy looked up and stared into her brown eyes with a serious look on his face, he didn't care about his blushing face and he wanted the girl before him to know the feelings he kept long inside his heart waiting for the perfect opportunity like now, he wanted to make it as clear as a crystal so that he won't regret anything he did now.

" Please hear me out once again! " Said the guy with a louder and clearer tone than the first

" Yes! I'm going to listen every word you're going to say! " She replied with a louder tone to match with his

" I-I I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU! Ever since I met you, everything became more fun and enjoyable. Without you, the happiness I felt at that time isn't the same when you're there. Sometimes or every hour of my life, I'm wondering and thinking about how are you doing. I'm very grateful that I met you but the greed in my heart wanted more, I wanted to spend more time with you! So here I am standing in front of you with courage inside me and wanted to ask you once more, would you be my girlfriend? " he asked with a smile on his face

" Yes! I'm also very grateful that I met such a wonderful person like you, kind and a loving person. I treasure every moment that I spend with you to my heart, because no one ever made me so happy like you do. And sorry for being selfish and greedy, I also want to spend more time with the one I love. Thanks for loving me for the way I am! " She replied and at the end she started to cry, tears flowing from her eyes and it seems it can't be stop. She's not sad rather she's so happy that the only thing she can do is cry because someone love her and accepted her.

The boy ran towards the girl and hugged her tightly, not wanting to let go. They both stood there under the willow tree alone in their own world, no one was there to interfere the two of them. The boy let the girl cried at his shoulder and patted her head to calm her down, he knew she's having a hard time to accept who she really is after all she had done and no one was there to tell her that it's going to be okay. The tears stopped and she smiled at him, he replied with a genuine smile and continued to hug her. 

The two of them patched themselves up after realize how messy they are after all the crying and hugging. They both walked hand in hand towards a nearby cafe, they sat there and stuff their mouths with something sweet.

" Hey may I ask a question? " she asked suddenly

" Sure what's up? " he replied while focusing at her

" If I died before you or disappear from here, would you still remember me? You know what never mind about my gibberish and sorry to ruin the mood " she said while waving her hand at her face

Suddenly her hand was grabbed by him, firmly. She gulped at how serious and cool he look at her, her heart beats faster. 

" Of course I will, even after a very long time I will always remember you in my dreams even though it wasn't a clear one. I will search for you with all my strength so don't worry about it, okay? " he said while holding her hand

She nodded and made a huge smile at him, to tell him that she believes all the words he said. Who knows, maybe what she said truly did happen in the future...

Farewell my dear prince
