Another Night, Another Episode

Chapter 78: Another Night, Another Episode

Mia was already walking home from their Team Dinner, then she looked up in to the sky where she can see the moon shining so brightly above her like a light house guiding her on her way home.

"Luna"

It is actually the reason why they chose to name their group as Luna, then she just smiled at the thought of Ian, Faux and Max making ruckus on the name of their band way back then, Terrence also joined the arguments the three are having.

She is always fascinated with the heavenly bodies especially the moon, its majestic illusion of being bright like a star but in reality without the sun as its source it wouldn't emit light, but despite its lack of its own light she can capture a much more attention and inspire a lot more than the sun.

Like the relationship of an artist and its fans.

Tonight have been a manifestation of her work. All of the artists and engineers that work under Constellation are all inspired and influenced by their music, her music...

'It was more than enough consolation' she thought to herself. For the past 4 years that they have been trying to protect Constellation, it had also occurred to her to give up and take the easier route. It would be a hypocrisy to say that she have never even thought to just give in and live just for her life, but being together with the people that make up Constellation, talking with them and the share of experience was all worth it.

They just have to make sure that it stay that way even after her death.

"Death" she just chuckled at the thought. Even if she have to go tonight she would be satisfied, she saw the realization of her dream. It's more than enough aside from one...

"Terrence..."

Then she again looked at night sky and stared at the full moon while walking. It was a very mystic and romantic night, she suddenly recalled what happened earlier that afternoon, they both looked like teenagers who are secretly in love with each other.

This day is already near to the perfect day that she have always been wanting.

She missed it, those long walks with him. like moment like this that they used to spend together.

Both of them are hopeless romantics that both enjoy such. She just smiled sadly at the moon one last time before looking at what's ahead of her.

"Terrence.."

Without a warning, Terrence is really right a head of her, underneath the lamp post clearly waiting for her.

Then like the old days, Terrence looked at her and smiled.

Mia doesn't want to go near him, she's afraid that this might be one of her illusions, that he would disappear if she ever tried to go near him.

Like idiots, both of them remained in the places and savour the moment they are currently having, both of them wanted more but reluctant to lose what they currently have.

'Seems like the heavens heard what was missing from this perfect day'

All she needed is Terrence as of this moment. It is what she always hope for.

Every time that she would walk home, she is hoping to see Terrence waiting for her, she wanted to feel again those times that she would go home and see him by the end of the day.

Mia longs to be with Terrence and now there he is, like a sign from above.

Greed...

She isn't sure that she won't be greedy and would wish for more than she currently have, she know that if she would ever take a step forward towards him, she won't be able to stop.

She won't be able to let go. she won't be able to stop wanting more.

They continued to stare at each other, waiting for someone to break the silence.

'If he took a step forward then I will also take my chances' it was a like a prayer she kept on chanting, for the first time in a long period of time, Mia's heart and mind is both telling her the same thing.

Take a step and put your faith in the line.

Memories of them together kept on flashing in her head making her heart pound more, filling her heart with anticipation but at the same time she is bracing herself for a disappointment.

Another round of silence enveloped the two of them.

No one wants to to break it or rather afraid to do so. No one can also blame the them for the fear that they are currently feeling in their hearts.

Terrence is afraid to hurt Mia again with his wrong choices and Mia is afraid to leave Terrence behind forever.

This is not a scenario that she have planned for him, from the moment she figured out that she is dying. Mia wanted Terrence to just forget her and move on, but that is not what the heavens want for the both of them.

Clearly, they are once again in a moment that they need to make a choice.

Something that they won't regret what ever the outcome.

It's like a video game making you choose continue or restart.

Just one step, it will only take one step.

"Mia" and Terrence took his chances and took the first step.

The tears that Mia was trying to hold back flowed freely, both in happiness and sadness.

A big part of her wanted to take the risk but a part of her broke apart knowing the inevitable future that would come their way.

Mia just ran towards Terrence and jump into his arms and cried her heart out like she used to do

"I'm sorry" she just kept on repeating as she buried her head into his chest.

Terrence just smiled softly with his cheeks also drenched in tears. "Everything is fine now" not knowing that Mia is apologizing not only for the past but also for the future to come.

It was indeed the perfect day that Mia wished for.

"I love you"

Mia's heart swelled in happiness but as if on cue before she could even response a sharp pain went through her head that made her lose her consciousness.

'I love you too' it was what went through Mia's mind before closing her eyes.
