Chapter 2 - Chapter 1

3rd person

"Aunt Martha! Uncle Steven! When did you come back? Is Maria here too?" the boy seems excited to see her friend Maria. They've been apart for a year and now the girl came back. The boy can't explain the happiness inside him. He'll going to see her best friend after a year.

"Yes she's inside, come in. I know Maria missed you too. She didn't play with anyone after we left." The boy giggles he remembered what they promised to each other.

_flashback_

"Maria promise me that you won't forget me, that you won't play anyone when it's me or else I will be mad and I will be the who will forget you" the boy cried so loud. And the girl seems to cry to but she hold back her tears she doesn't want to go too but they needed to. If she cry now it'll be a sign of how weak she is.

"I promise, thur. I won't play with anyone but you. Stop crying I will be back. Just wait for me okay?" the boy stopped crying and smiled.

"I will wait Maria"

_end of flashback_

" That's great Aunt! She's not supposed to play with anyone but me" the boy laugh.

" Naughty you Arthur. Why not? Are you jealous?" the boy smirked.

" Hmm I think I am Aunt. Is that bad?" the shows his cutie face that makes the woman laugh.

" Do you like my daughter?" the boy stiffened.

" Yes I like her aunt is that bad?" the innocent boy.

" What did you say Arthuro"?

" Uncle Steven I like your daughter" the old man seems mad and happy at the same time.

" You wanna die, Arthur?" the boy hide behind the woman. Scared and nervous

" That's enough Steven, let's go inside"

The boy smiled nervously at the old man. And he run faster to go inside the house. Breathing heavily he saw the girl that he likes and he feels like he stop breathing.

"Maria it's been a while" the only thing he could say. He don't know what to do. He's starting to shake because of this beautiful girl in front of him

"Arthur!" the girl run towards the boy and hugged him tightly. It feels like yesterday. They seemed to be happy. And of course Arthuro is the happiest now. He saw the girl he likes and he will be to play again. For a year that Maria was gone, he didn't play with anyone too. And now that she's back they can now. The girl now pronounced properly his name.

"You can now say my name!" he smiled widely.
