Akira looked at his face after hearing her humble request.
She wanted to ask a million questions. She wanted to find out what was going inside his head. She wanted to know what was wrecking his heart. But that look on his face stopped her from asking anything.
"Jaby !!! Are you ok?"
"Will you just promise me that much Akira?"
He asked her again and this time he didn't hold back his eyes. He was looking straight into her eyes. This time he was tapping to find out an answer.
She could see that he was in pain and she just couldn't let him endure it anymore.
"I promise Jaby. I promise you that..."
But before she could even finish her sentence, he pulled her close and hugged her tight as if his life depended on her.
