Chapter 14

They are together in the cottage because of the natural closeness of the two of them. They have a separate room. Also, they have no malice.

Nothing, none.

When he woke up and went to his room to take a bath in the sea and watch the sky light up, he found it sound asleep. He knew he was awake talking to his friends. She doesn’t have the heart to wake him up especially when he looks so peaceful when he was sleeping.

She put on her two-piece swimsuit and went alone by the sea. Instead of going down immediately, he stayed ashore and wrote something on white sand with a stick.

This is the scene Nile found.

"Why didn't you wake me up so I could be with you?" he said to her.

He smiled at it. "Good morning!"

Gradually the wrinkle on his forehead disappeared. He just saw that it was smiling as well. It was her routine everyday. Greeting him a “Good morning” no matter if they’re having a bad wake up call.

"Good morning, Karen." Masuyong anito.

He was held in front of his heart when its heartbeat suddenly increased. Maybe he should limit coffee consumption because his heart is already palpitating.

She sat on the sand and invited the man to sit next to her. It immediately sat down next to him. Even the wind could not pass it so close to him.

"I didn't wake you up because I know how much you love sleeping." he joked.

"I have something more expensive than sleep."

His heart seemed to bounce off his mouth before it returned to its place. He kept his eyes focused on the ocean even though he almost had a stiff neck in the desire to turn the man.

"W-who?" What is that! Why am I nervous ?!

A few seconds passed but Nile remained silent. When he looked at it he saw the seriousness in its eyes. It also looked at him. Gradually the seriousness in his eyes cleared and the normal glare returned.

But she could not help but wonder: why the sudden seriousness?

"Jigglypuff."

He laughed and jokingly slapped it on the arm. The Jigglypuff it refers to is the mini-stuffed toy he gifted here four years ago. When he asked her what she wanted as a gift, she said, "Anything." Because of its naughty nature, Jigglypuff's cute stuffed toy in the Pokemon show is what he gave it.

Until now, Jigglypuff was still on his possession. But it was already hidden in its closet.

Deafening silence enveloped the two of them. As he watched the rising sun, he could not help but think of the anticipation they were making now.

“Nile…”

"Hmm?"

He suddenly placed his arm on her shoulder. This was not the first time Nile had put his arm around her, that she felt its skin on hers but the sensation that flowed through her body brought something different to her.

"Do you believe there is a right person for us?"
