tap..tap...
'to-tonight is very beautiful night isn't it?
'A-ah yes..
Akira tried to open a conversation with Kiara at that time but failed and caused their atmosphere to become more awkward
they are currently on their way home because it is late at night and the sky looks cloudy which means heavy rain will fall soo
rumble..crack!!!
whoosh!
'oh..looks like it's going to rain soon
'yes..I forgot to bring an umbrella, so we have to walk home quickly
'whoosh!
crack!
pitter-patter..
not long after Kiara said that, it started to rain accompanied by a noisy thunder storm
'I think..we are too late for that..
'hmmm...I can run there as fast as lightning.. so do you want me to carry you until we get there?
'n-no way! absolutely not!
'why not? this is a good idea you know? so we don't have to walk while getting wet from the rain!
'ugh..but that would only make me feel more worse..
'hmmm? why is that?
'I also have dignity as a man, so as a responsible man.. I should be the one carrying you
'oh come on...we don't have time for this
'then..let us both get wet by the rain! I don't care about the weather anyway..because!
Akira at that time began to put his hand around Kiara's thigh and lifted it to his chest to make it easier for him to lift Kiara on the way home.
'wo-woah! why all of a sudden?
'because I only care about you right now nothing else!
'wh-what....?
when Kiara was suddenly carried by Akira, Kiara's face started to turn red because she felt very embarrassed. such a carrying position looked very romantic to her so she felt very moved by it
'your weight feels so light..but how can you become such a strong swordsman?
'well..if I told you everything about it now it might take two days to explain everything
'you sure are tough! to the extent that it would take two days to explain everything about your journey of life as the strongest female swordsman!
'strongest swordsman? nah.. that was absolutely impossible for me to achieved that kind prodigy
'hmmm? if you are not the strongest..then who is the strongest swordsman than you?
'well..he is you!
'h-huh? me? but how is that possible? I will never even be able to defeat you once in my life you know? So how can I become the strongest?
'you idiot! that not what I mean!
'then?
'I consider you as the strongest right now because..
'be-because....?
'beca-because..
Kiara's face turned red because she felt very embarrassed about something but Akira's expression at that time started to become very serious full of hope
he hoped that by this time he had become strong enough to be able to protect everyone, especially Kiara, the person he cared about the most for now more than anyone.
'beca-because...?
'bec-ause you are the first person who managed to steal my heart's attention in many men who tried very harder to get my attention even a bit you know..
'wh-what..
Akira who heard that statement was a little disappointed but he just continued to smile gently at Kiara
"Looks like I'm still far from being the strongest..I'm too stupid too because I'm too quick to assume like that
'what the matter?
'A-ah..no-nothing..by the way may.. both of your hands hold me tightly so you don't fall later? I will run while carrying you
'like this..?
'yes! keep it like that okay!
'okay..
Kiara's left hand was holding Akira's neck tightly around him. In that romantic position, Kiara could even feel Akira's heartbeat which was very fast as if he also felt nervous in that position.
whoosh!
pitter-patter...
crack!
rain started to fall accompanied by the sound of thunder in the sky.
tap....tap..
At that time, Akira just kept running home when Kiata was just daydreaming about something
Kiara at that time was able to run as fast as lightning to get there without feeling tired, but due to a selfish request from Akira who still insisted that he was the one who should do that to her, Kiara then just followed his will
Kiara is a famous and strongest magic swordsman in ancient times..she also once fought an opponent that was very impossible to beat in her prime
but when faced with such a romantic situation, she would appear drastically as a normal woman that everyone can find everywhere
Kiara for today just wants to enjoy this sweet moment and sculpt it forever in her heart...
pitter-patter..
'Zuko..
'hmmm? what is it honey..im listening
'do you like rain...?
Kiara asked a strange question like that to Akira who was busy running while his body was continuously wet by the rain, but he was still trying to protect Kiara's body from being wet by the rain. Akira covered Kiara's body with his black coat jacket to warm Kiara's body from the very cool late night weather
'hmmm...I don't know..how about you? do you like rain?
'I have been very fond of rain since childhood..
'you're so weird huh? because most children now really hate the rain because they feel very annoyed that their bodies are constantly being wet
whoosh....
'yes..do you like rain too?
'me? nah..if you love the rain..i instead love the sunrise you know..
'sunrise? but why is that?
'th-that...
the reason Akira really likes the sunrise is because a situation like that is a situation that would be a big wound for him..and his big wound is the loss of his first wife.. namely Zuri.
Akira every day when he wakes up will always stare at the sunrise for quite a long time, even though all of that is just a past.. still Akira will continue to engrave the past in his heart
if now Kiara is the moon that shines Akira's night, then..Zuri is the sun that shines Akira's morning too
"without the two of them..all that's left is a very dark darkness..without a glimmer of light at all"
for now..Akira has lost his morning light..all of it has an impact which is a bit of tearing of his smile and his still pure heart
