Anita wasn't here today leaving her alone on her bench. The experiment for today wasn't 'happening' without Anita's presence.
Not sure what was going on but Anita did mentioned to her that she would be off for a week for personal reasons...
Now... sighing...
L looking up to the assembled apparatus of the experiment in front her and taking down the results on her notes.
She knew, K was standing at front looking down a bit at her and got a chance to walk from aisle to aisle, monitoring each of his students including her conducting the correct way for the whole process. What more can she possibly do other than grinning like an idiot to K but unfortunately her smile never reach her eyes.
Simply 'ignoring' L all along his eyes never leaving her throughout the whole three hours here.
K: Love... what's the matter?
Glancing down at the phone, she look around afraid if the crazy lab assistant would appear, she would doom immidiately!
She opened the text and reply to him back.
Her: My partner is missing...😑😑
K: Y?
Her: Personal probs.
K: dating today?
Her: X. Don't want 2...😪😪
K: But I miss u...❤️❤️
Took her a minutes to decide it. She hung up her head to his direction and he was already looking at her with 'full-of-hope' faces.
Finally she agreed and look how joyful K there with his wide smile. Totally looks like someone was head over heels for his lover.
Done with the experiment today, L slowly packing her book and other stuff before heading off from the room with gloomy facial.
All the students already gone back to their respective lair but she still sitting on the plastic tool outside of the room.
Thinking hard of her roommate and duo, she just looking straight to the white plain wall of the opposite room without notice the approaching figure.
"L...what are you doing?" K given her a confused look. He did worried about his lover in gloomy state all the three hours of experimenting and now...
"Nothing...sir." she reply casually like a student then put everything in her sling back including her lab coat.
"I treat you today?" he tilted his head looking down at L full of concern.
She simply shook her head in denial. Doesn't know why she was becoming this kind of person. Before...she doesn't seems to care about any human around her let alone their silhouette wandered on her.
But now...she was more like a clingy type. Like she was losing her perfect duo partner. Sighing she stand up and began walked away leaving K totally dumbfounded.
What just happened?
His eyes wandering to the slowly decreasing body before he started chasing her with full of concern. She was never like this before.
Did he just messing around? Or...did she just find out about the 'accident'?
Wait! It's just happened between me and that woman. How should she know about it?
So quickly, her figure already totally engulfed into the lift and he remained standing there with a lot in his head.
She took out her earphones and placed it into her earlobes. Selecting song from her library and press the play while she walked out heading to her bike in almost like the super model slowly strolling giving everyone started to drooling of her.
The more you looked at her, the more you admired her. She was definitely changed to someone else. Totally different from her previous years. Yet to say she was incredibly becoming the most intentions person once she put her foot on the campus floor in her glorious look after she returned of her extended semester.
Her hair changed into something neatly. Her facial was the most changed part amongst her other body part. So cleaned and spotless. The rest were good in different and no more in sleepy and bath-less condition. Slowly...
Her aura giving a certain vibes for those who planting their eyes on her. More like naughty, playfully and flirty gestures. Mimicking herself like a young gentleman, she did leaving every mouth gapping on her simple gesture.
Let alone when Anita approaching her like she was some kind of a magnetic with opposite side, attracting towards each other and she never in denial.
Just so you need to know, she was never in her dress, maxi or skirt or any similar type of attire because she use a bike as an excuse to not let people talking about her attire 'life'.
More like she wasn't in a mood to wear those things here.
Anita: I've got some surprise 4 u!
What?
She paused and standing while replying to Anita's text.
'What?'
Anita: You'll know it sooner...
She runs her hand to her long hair leaving a sexy look to the audience.
Some would turned for twice and thrice just to look at her standing on the pedastrians, neither boy or girl.
'Just tell me!'
Anita: Hell, no! Just wait 4 me...😏
She scoffed annoying with Anita's replied and began walking to her bike. Climbing up the stairs putting her phone into her jeans pocket.
Simply pressing her alarm button, the bike automatically came alive. Unhooked her helmet, she slide on her head ignoring some of students there hanging out sitting on their bikes.
Pushing her bike out from the parking lots, then closed the wiser and trotted away out from campus area.
She was not heading back to her residence but out from her uni surrounding. The only place that would make her free in this 'misery' condition was theme park.
That crowded places really gave her mood rise up. Don't know how but sure it did. Powerfully on her.
Little she did noticed, K's car did followed her into the theme park area.
Wondering alone, he wouldn't say anything to her directly and just following her with big question mark floating up above his head.
What she was trying to do here? Since when this kind of place becoming her spot? Wasn't she told him that she doesn't a fan of crowded area?
Leaving her bike lock like always, she tied her hair into a simple bun and folded her long sleeves up until her elbows. Then she crouched down did the same for her jeans, folded it up of her ankles.
Cute!
Not too many people around here but slowly this place getting crowded when the natural lights slowly sliding off from the horizon giving chance to the dark do the duty as always.
Still in her earphones, she walked looking side to side to the stalls. Nothing gave her excitement so far so she keep walking ahead slowly holding the sling of her bag.
"Hello Miss...come join here!"
"Let's try your luck into this games, miss..."
She was been invited but she simply declined it with her charming smile, step forward.
Soon, she felt her shoulder heavy by sudden force.
Eyes on her right, she knew it by the smell of this familiar manly spicy smelt.
He didn't say anything just guide the girl but more let her do the decision of her path.
She snaked around her right arm to his waist while he tighten his hold on her by put it on her neck pushing her impossibly closer.
He wore a mask, leaving his hair into messy state. He did leaving his plain shirt displaying his muscular body and also...when did he changed into his jeans?
The glasses already no longer on his bridge. Well, he was back to his 'origin' self.
She gave him a smile and he smiled back at her. Both in silence letting the noisy around do the talk.
Then, she pull his body to the accessories stall. Something did gave a something to her eyes. Caught of the shiny things there.
The bangle did makes her caressed that simple material by her small fingers.
"A fine piece for you young lady..." said the seller simply smile at them both.
Her eyes totally glued on to the item. She took the larger size and crouched down putting it on her ankle. Perfect!
Then, about the same size she applied to her date on his wrist.
Sweet! Perfect combination!
"How much, ma'am?" she asked taking out her purse from her bag after pull out her earphones.
He already pointing out some cash to the lady seller.
The lady smile sweetly taking the money given by the boyfriend and went to her cash register to return the balance.
She returns with the balance but gave them one more item as the attachment.
The pendant of love shape divided by two.
"Put it into your bangle..." she gestured to both of them still in her sweet smile.
"But~" L trying to decline it.
"I insist..." said the lady seller. She gave L soft gaze indicating she was touched by L's action before without asking the prize first.
"How much~"
She cut the guy by her next words.
"A gift for you both. Not everyday I could see a sweet couple like you two. I had a hunch about someone might buy this bangle today and it's true." she paused before she took another similar bangle and show something on to the inner part of the item.
It was wrote in beautiful calligraphy as:
'Incredible Love Last Forever'
She continue again. "My late husband made this for a very limited pieces. He died just to make it happened. It took him only to finish the both of your choices. The very first ever sold items of his invention...thank you..."
Both were speechless.
L placed her hand on top of the lady seller's hand that holding the special made bangle. She lightly patted the lady's hand just to comforting her. Lending her some strength.
"I'm okay... don't worry... I just wanted to say...let the love lives even our body no longer exists. Do cherish the love doesn't matter what will come for you. Separated but at last the perfect shape will be back together. Trust it!" she gave them both a genuine smile patting L's hand returning the gesture.
"We will..." said K trully touched by that lady's words.
L nodded a bit sad because she couldn't imagine loosing the love of life... someone who were she would rely for her entire life...leaving lonely to herself alone...
They went away after putting the half heart shape pieces on to the bangles. But after a few step L turned her head just to see the lady seller there.
Oh. My. God!
Where were the stall had gone?
She tightened her hand on to K's hold, pausing there. K look back at her, confusing.
"What?" he sounds worried looking at the stunned body beside him.
She didn't answer it and slowly he was following her gaze and bulged open the eyes once the supposed stall would remain there but nothing.
Nothing!
