Chapter 198 - Lanterns 06

If she really wanted to with her strength she could easily escape from his grasps but though her mind knew about it her body and heart doesn't seem to want him to let go so her struggles were rather weak which made her even more confuse as tears trailed down her face.

Knowing that it was useless she could only let him hugged her as she continued to cry in confusion. After a few minutes passed, she finally calmed down.

Knowing that she was finally calming down, Chad let her go. She then bowed her head but Chad held her chin up to look at him. The mix emotions of longing, fear, pain and hope was clearly portrayed in her eyes but what was dominant was her confusion.

"I'm sorry Mirly, I know it may be too late but I love you… I love you so much that words fail me to express the extent of my love for you…" These words startled Mirly very much and her mind as though gaining an enlightenment started to become clearer and clearer.

After those words escaped his mouth he too was startled and it was as though a rock was lodged on his stomach and his heart was slowly crumbling.

He then gently released his tightened grip and stared at her waiting for her reply or any reactions trembling a bit in anticipation.

Mirly had her eyes wide open then gradually softened and leaned to kiss him on the lips and withdraw away smiling brightly at him, Chad was momentarily shocked but then he smiled widely as though finally achieving the much waited oasis in the desert then hugged her as she too hugged him back.

"I'm sorry, I finally realize why I felt so confuse and indecisive…"

"I love him. It was simply that. I was so regretful for the "what ifs" because I love him. I was afraid and awkward with him because I did not want to be left again. I didn't want to hear that he chose something else and not me, it was all because I love him." She thought as she smiled more widely.

"I love you…" She whispered which made Chad's heart swell as though it would burst in happiness.

Mirly could not be blamed for her late reaction. She grew up in a harsh environment, even if the Naide's adopted her and she got great friends like Reen the feeling she had for Chad, the confusion she had when she thought of him was never voiced out except the most recent one wherein she told Reen about it.

That time even after hearing the story Reen did not advise her with anything but only silently listened with a few nods and hmm to indicate she was listening.
