Present time
❗FLORA P.O.V.❗
I havent seen him until that day when we had coffee together. I wasnt brave enough to call him. Again, my days were dry and windy. Nothing special happened. I tried to cheer myself up how i used to but It didnt work anymore.
It's snowing again. I wore my long jacket and walked out of the house. The roads were busy and I saw everyone shopping for their day. How I wished to spend these days with him.
I was so lost in my thoughts that I didnt even realise. A car was coming toward me in high speed. I had no time to think. I stupiditly stood there covering my eyes.
Few seconds passed but I felt no hit or pain. Instead A warmth covered me. I slowly looked up and saw ...Leo?
He was hugging me too tightly. He was shaking and the same time scared...?
L,eo"Are you okay?! Are you hurt?! Where were you looking!!!???!!"
How is it possible....my head is full of questions. We are strangers...why is he so worried about me....How did he save me...How is he shouting at me like that...It seems so much like the old one...
He noticed my confused face and backs off.
I know I shouldnt ask this now...but I want to ...I feel like It's true..."Do you still....remember me?"
❗LEO P.O.V.❗
Gosh!!! I lost my senses..!!! What should I do....What should I say....Can I speak out the truth....
"What if I tell you...I do?"
❗FLORA P.O.V.❗
What the hell does it mean.....Did he just say...he remembers everything...
"Did you just recalled it or You knew everything since I came back...?"
L, "Since you left...I havent forgot a single second."
Lora,"Then why now...!?! Why are you telling this to me now? Why did you make me suffer the whole month!"
❗LEO P.O.V.❗
She was continuously shouting at me. I thought I can understand how she feels but I cant. I shouldnt have been quiet. i shouldve told her about it.
L, "Im sorry-"
Lora,"Your sorry cant make up for what I went through! How could you do this to me!"
L, "i was scared.... I was afraid that you'll hate me by how I acted in the other world.."
Lora,"How can you even think like that!?! Why would I connect you with your past life. It's a whole different life. It's not like you're the one who pushed me off the cliff."
I king of flinched by her words.
Lora,"Everyday I kept reminding myself that You're not Rao so I cant hate you just because you two look alike. I tried to avoid but ended up trusting him only because I thought...It was you."
I couldnt hold myself back. I hugged her tightly. I didnt let her go until she stopped crying.
Lora,"I ...missed you."
Finally these most wanted words, "I missed you too."
We parted and I saw her smilling through the pain.
Lora,"How did you save...me? It was impossible. Did i see the distance wrong.."
Leo, "Flora, I want to say something."
L,"What is it?"
Leo, "How I saved you is..."
L,"Stop shuttering."
Leo,"You said It's not possible to do so. I've done it before. Again Today. I have something that others dont."
❗FLORA P.O.V.❗
what the hell is he saying. Is he not a human...By what happened since last year I feel like anything is possible. But I cant figure out what he means.
He said It happened before. The only time I can remember is when We went for school trip. On our way I was about to hit by a car. But I was safely landed on the sideroad. Emma told me the car stopped by itself.But I found myself in Leo's amrs. Is he talking about that time. He saved me back then too?
How is it possible. Does he have some kind of superpower or what. The questions and confusion were only growing while I was staring down on the ground.
❗LEO P.O.V.❗
I saw her all confused by my statement. I should clear it out for her. Even If she starts hating me for What I did...I need to speak up the truth.
No words could make up my mistakes. I quietly took out the clock from my pocket. I hesitated...my hands were shaking. But I slowly holded it up between us so that she can see it.clearly.
❗FLORA P.O.V.❗
This object...he's holding infront of me. Why is it so familliar....I cant seem to recall where I've seen it before....Something hits my mind. I was shocked. To take a better look, I snatched it away from him.
Every single detail was the same. How is it possible!!! How the hell!! I havent seen it since I came back with Astrid. It was suppose to dissappear after I return with the Lost star...But How is it still here....How can he have it.
I tried to avoid the odvious answer. the only answer every thoughts were taking me...I wanted to pretend like It's not true...
❗LEO P.O.V.❗
I can tell she already found out. To make it more clear...I should start speaking now.
L,"I arrived in this world...a year ago. After You left mine..I wanted to see you again...I wanted to fix my mistake. I wanted to be with you-"
F,"No...This isnt happening...."
L,"Because of my carelessness, Astrid found the door and got lost in time. You went through a lot to bring her back...All I wanted was to stay by your side. Make up for what I've done wrong. I was scared of losing...you...again."
F,"…"
❗FLORA P.O.V.❗
Since the day I met him in the park, I fell for him every single day. Everyday He became more important to me. He turned out to be my strenth. I overcame all those bad times in that world, while thinking of him.
When Rao betrayed me...I discovered my biggest fear. Fear that...Leo is Rao.
I found out what living means, thanks to him.
I found out how dying feels, thanks to him.
F,"Prince Rao, You just followed me here after I left your world. Here you came and created a big mess. Because of you my past self suffered... This whole time...I liked you....not him."
L,"Let me exp-"
F,"I need some time . Leave me alone.", I gave the clock back and walked toward my house with those trembling legs of mine.
❗LEO P.O.V.❗
I went back and thought to myself all day. I couldnt sleep thinking what she's feeling right now. What might be her answer. Can I be accepted again or I'll get rejected...
Just then My phone lights up with a text message. It was from Flora. ?
[Meet me at the park at 3:AM tomorrow.
Same park where we first met.]
Those words became my nightmare. In that early morning what could be her answer...
