Chapter 3: Till we meet again

The next morning, two girls could be seen sleeping peacefully in a bed. A few rays of sunlight that shone through the window hit Kiara's face causing her to wake up along with the chirping of the bird. Only then did she noticed that she was still embracing her best friend causing her to immobilize and unable to get up.

Even though she didn't want to. She had no choice but to wake the girl up.

"Suzu? Suzu?"

Kiara attempt to wake the girl up and shake her shoulder lightly.

"Hmn? What is it?"

She asks while rubbing her left eye.

'Cute, wait, now is not the time for that

"Wake up, well, you can still sleep if you want. I can't get up with you using my arm as your pillow"

I answered. Suzu's eyes widened, she quickly gets up and apologizes

"S-s-sorry"

I chuckled.

"fufu, it's fine"

When I was finally able to move I began to get up and look at Suzu who was still sleepy.

"You can still sleep if you want. Sorry to wake you"

"It's fine,"

Suzu said and get up lazily

"I want to eat breakfast with K,"

I smile at her and walk to Suzu closer who's still in the bed and kiss her on the forehead.

"Then, wake up sleepyhead"

After that, we went down. Eat our breakfast. Take a bath and go around the city to spend time together. We didn't do anything out of the ordinary. We just do a normal hang out while enjoying the other's company.

We have too much fun that we didn't notice the duration of the time. Since it was time for sunset anyway, I decided to watch a sunset together with Suzu. So we are now on a shore, waiting for the sun to set. Holding her hand and standing side by side. We just stand there in comfortable silence.

Looking at the calm wave and the sky with yellowish to orange in color. I can't help but thought that It brings a romantic setting. I break the silence while still looking at the setting sun.

"Hey, Suzu? Did you have fun today?"

[SUZANNE'S POV]

"Hey, Suzu? Did you have fun today?"

K asked me breaking the silence between us. I look at her and saw her looking at the setting sun.

I smiled and look at the ocean, whose waves are calm and gentle.

"Yeah, I had fun"

I do have fun but thinking that this will be the last day I will have to spend time with K. It made me feel sentimental.

"That's good"

Then she became silent again. Not taking it anymore. I went and hug her. One last time I want to feel her warmth.

"S-s-suzu?"

"I'll miss you greatly K"

I muttered.

[KIARA'S POV]

"I'll miss you greatly K"

Suzu softly muttered and not long after I hear her sobbing again. I return her hug and gently stroked her head. Smiling softly I reply to her.

"I'll miss you too, Suzu"

"Hey, K?"

"Hmm?"

I withdraw my embrace to look at her. I meet her royal blue eyes.

"I promise I'll come back to you stronger,"

Suzu said resolutely.

I look at her and smile then firmly replied.

"I'll wait for you and I'll also become strongee. Strong enough to protect you"

[SUZANNE'S POV]

K look at me with her golden eyes. The hue of the sun's rays highlighting every of her feature. Making her look like a goddess in front of my eyes. Her golden eyes were filled with gentleness and at the same time, it was also filled with sadness. K was smiling at me ever so gently. The words that she said to me made my heart flutter and it made me giddy inside. I cannot utter a single word and I only wished to watch the person in front of me.

"Suzu? What's wrong?"

Instead of answering K., My body moves on its own and my lips meet and touched hers. It was soft and taste sweet. Maybe it was because of what we eat earlier. It was only 5 seconds and I finally move away from that soft lips of hers but I can't help but feel wanting more. I look at K, she is beet red right now, and when I realized what I had done. I also became red as a tomato and apologize.

"K, I-I-I'm s-sorry"

I frantically bow and apologize to K

"Don't hate me K"

After those words were said. I only wanted to run because of what I did but K grabs my wrist.

"Wait! Suzu!"

K exclaimed as she grabs my wrist. I remain silent and wait for her to continue but instead, she pulled me close. K was hugging me from behind and whisper into my ear.

"I could never hate you, Suzu. I was just surprised that's all"

"Really?"

[KIARA'S POV]

I chuckle at Suzu

"Haha, didn't we have this conversation before?"

"I'm serious K,"

"Yeah"

She grabs my hand that was embracing her and make me let go of her and turns to face me while pouting.

"Then, prove it"

I look at her for a second and I smirk then I put my lips into hers. She widened her eye. Not expecting my payback. It was just a peck on the lips.

"That's payback, Suzu"

Then I grin at her. Suzu was blushing brightly

"K you idiot,"

She said in a low voice, blushing and looking at the ground. She was unable to meet K's eyes. Kiara found her little childhood friend cute and charming than usual.

"Hey, Suzu"

"What?"

"Promise me that you will take care of yourself while you were away and wait for me to come for you."

I held out my pinky finger.

"I promise that I will take care of myself and get stronger until you come for me. Ahh, but if you take too long, I'll come for you instead"

She also places her pinky finger on top of mine and links it. I chuckled at her antics.

"then let's go, it's already getting dark"

"Yeah"

She replied with a big smile on her face

The Next Day...

I am now sending Suzu off. She said goodbye to our other friends and her father who will stay here because it is closer to his job. After she says goodbye to the people she knows. She turns to me and says:

"Stay well, K, and don't forget about your promise"

"Yeah, I know and I won't,"

I say and I could feel tears forming into the corner of my eye. It is also the same goes for Suzu. Nevertheless, I send her off with a smile.

Suzu then gets on the carriage that was waiting for her. She closes the door and the carriage started moving.

In the carriage, Suzu softly mutter with a gentle yet sad smile on her face

"Farewell, K. Until we meet again"

Meanwhile...

Kiara watching the carriage moving further and further away from her until it was out of sight. She muttered in a low voice.

"Stay Well Suzu. Till we meet again"

After I mutter those words I pump myself up and say in a somewhat loud voice. No one was around so it's fine.

"Yosh, time to train and read that book later
