[Bonus chapter] I Love You

Bella panted hard as she tried her best to get back on her feet.

"Stop it, Sephiro!" Osman shouted as he approached the boy. "Can't you recognize me?! It's me, Osman!"

Osman then took her away from the rest and gave her a sweet surprise with a romantic picnic dinner near the cliff where the two of them beheld a beautiful view of the night sky complete with the serene and soothing sounds of the river beneath them.
