Promises

*Third POV*

"My lady may I?" the guy asked smiling nodding her as she can feel the tears form in her eyes falling one after the other.

Feeling a drop of water falling upon his knuckle making old man blinks his eyes a few times making him come back to reality. Making the shadow of the white eyelashes fall upon his cheeks.

Just to feel as if he has just woken up from a beautiful dream the most beautiful dream which just broke right at the moment.

Slowly placed the dancing music box upon the table with his shaking hands being as careful as he could. Turning back to look at his wife is as beautiful as ever with her greyish white hair and rosy pink lips.

'Only if you would open your eyes and look at with the smile over your face, while we dance on our favourite song' the old man thought. Nishi who was sitting on the sofa comes back to the original dark brown colour which was white a moment ago.

Making her blink her eyes a few times as if she ownself was pulled back into reality. Looking at the old man with her lips parted with each other with the sadness into her eyes a soft smile over her face.

Watching the old man now removes a small tape recorder from his jacket pocket playing the play button.

"It's time to hear our favourite song together my tigress" The song plays as she places her hand in his. One around his shoulder as he places one around her waist.

"~I got chills

They're multiplying

And I'm losing control

Cause the power you're supplying

It's electrifying~"

Dancing and spinning around as the light follows wherever they go on the stage surrounded by the fogs around their feet. Smiling as he learns forward, kissing on her nose as the tears fall, from her eyes.

The balloons almost flew in the mid-air hitting one of them hitting the side of the man's head. Making the women giggle with her eyes close almost bending her head backwards.

"~I got chills

They're multiplying~"

"I want to make a vow to you," the guy in the middle of the song rotates the woman while holding her index finger. Making her dress flow into the circle along with her.

"Didn't you already do?" she said looking deep into his eyes. Lost into it smiling as she blush.

"I did, but it's for us just between us which I just want to keep with my heart as it's saying not to share with anyone or it loses the power of its number of people one says," he said.

"But you telling me will it not lose its power?" she asked raising her bow. As the guy spins her around 3 times as they were back in the position, they were first.

"If I tell you it will just make it stronger as you have my heart my everything so I'm just sharing this secret with my own heart," he said.

"Ouch, it skipped a beat I guess your heart just did." the woman smiles looking at the love of her life. Despite knowing how cheesy it is not his but her own just skipped a beat. "So your vow?"

"My tigerish you made this empty-hearted playboy, a place filled with love. Being a heart to me made me feel how important to myself so I could understand how important I'm to others." the boy paused with not breaking eye contact.

"How important I'm to you. The first we met just to be pushed at each other to be the dance partners. I'm glad the stupid jacka** friends of mine did"

"Ugh, I hated you so much now I remember purposely stepping on your foot oh I loved to torture you" without breaking eye contact the woman just steps on the foot of the guy making him hiss in response.

"You!!!"

"Yes, what about me"

"I will... I will"

"I will I will what" she mimicry him as both glares at each other smiling as both laughs aloud.

"You know what?" he said.

"What my handsome?" she asked the guy learns in giving a light peek over the lip of the girl into his arm.

"I want to dance with you forever while like forever never-ending. While cooking in the evening while you will water the plants in our small garden. With our children's as we grow old forever till our last breath. Forever even we turn into a ghost."

"Ah scary" the girl giggles

"Not as long as we are together haunting the same house by dancing around.

*FLASH BACK ENDS*

Opening his eyes it felt so real as if he was living in that moment. He didn't realise he was crying as his cheeks felt wet. Wiping his tears away as he looks down.

"Wish delivery? I don't remember if I-well isn't it obvious I can't even remember my name nowadays. Being an old man is like being a child just have to teach them and remind them everything. When you were awake your sharp memories always used to keep in reminding me this all the time"

The old man opens the box beside the beautiful couples he didn't notice before. In there in the middle of the beautiful green shining cloth, there is a tape recorder. The record player uses to be in his 70s. It looks so familiar just like the one in his memories.

Picking it up as he brings it closer towards his face inspecting it.

"Tigers see someone has sent this tape recorder which you always used to carry during our college times. I remember how we used to practice whenever we got the chance. For our competition, we always used to take part. As because of this we bonded forever. Even the day we made our secret vow"

"Wait there is even a tape inside of it. Shou-should I play it?" he asked as he runs his shaking finger over the play button. With that as he plays it.

"~I got chills

They're multiplying

And I'm losing control

Cause the power you're supplying

It's electrifying~"

"You are the one that I want Tigress your favourite song," he said as a smile spread across his face. It's the late 80's song which was his wife favourite the most favourite song.

This song brings back many memories as they both used to dance whenever this song used to play. Dancing around the house in the yard singing together making food together and being so in love.

With that, the old man sings along with the song with a smile on his face.

"~You're the one that I want

You are the one I want

Oh, honey

The one that I want

You are the one I want

Oh, honey

The one that I wan~" he pauses looking towards his wife as the tears come out of his eyes.

"Yo-" his, voice cracked as he holds the hand of the lady in bed. Keeping his head down as he cries. "I wish if only I... I could dance with you forever my tii-tigr-ess" he said as he sniffs.

The song kept playing as it felt like forever for it to get end as the silence spread across the room. Just the sound of the beeping and his sniffing.

"~I better- sha.. pe up-

Cause you need a mane

I-I need a maan

Who can keep me sati-sfi.. ed~ "

A small voice whisper as the old guy paused forgetting how to breathe. Slowly as he looks up staring at the light blue eyes smiling looking at him. As the smile spread across his own face.

"I... Will Dan-danc wot you forever" she smiles.

Sitting on the sofa Yuko stares at them getting up and walking towards the old couples looking at the shocked expression. Placing her hand on the top of the joined hands of the couples.

"It shall become true," she mumbles with a smile over her face as she looks at them with the soft smile played.

The couple just stared at each other with the love in their eyes not breaking. Slipping her hand back looking down at her palm just to see two bright lights floating in mid-air.

Without breaking her gaze away from it removing the small glass out of her pocket as she removes its cap. Just to put in the two bright lights inside it as it floats inside more like making it seems as if they are dancing with each other.

Turning around Nishi walked towards the door opening it slowly as she could walking out of the room. Leaving the old man who was lying upon the bed with the mask on his face heart machine into a thin line with a long beep sound echoing inside the room.

Two lilies in the white vase that was set upon the table right beside the bed. Along with that a golden dancing music box with the key inside its lock as the couples slowly starts to dance going round and round with the soft tune playing behind it.
