Chapter 7: [‡]_Old Friend_[‡]

??? POV

“Hey Ma-i!”
A young boy called, running while carrying a bouquet of flowers in his slender arms

'...wha?...'

“Yes sinta?”
Another boy but shorter than the other smiled and looked at the running male

'“Sinta”??? Is this a memory? It's so... Blurry, I can't see properly... Who are these children?'

“Look! I got Flowers! Aren't they pretty?”
The taller one gleefully showcase his carried flowers

'Who's that?'

“Wow kuya! They're really pretty!”
The shorter one replied, being in awe by the beauty of the bundled fresh flowers

'Was that me?
Who's the other kid?'

“Do you think we can use these for our y'know...”
The taller boy asked shyly with a small tint of pinkish hue on his cheeks

'For... What?'

“I hope so, these are really beautiful and lovely flowers! I would love to go down the aisle with these.”
The shorter boy replied with an innocent smile

'AISLE?! '

“Yeah, I would love to see you like that too. I'd make sure our day will be perfect, just like you.”
The taller boy said while caressing the other's cheek

'No! No! Wait what!? What does he mean by—'

“I L L I !!”
The taller boy cried out, reaching out his hand desperately trying to get away from the ones trying to stop him from going to his supposed to be beloved

'Ha..?'

“SINTA!!”
The shorter one did the same, desperately trying to get loose from the hands that was taking him further away

Both of the boys' audible pleads and cries were heard
Begging to be wed and be with each other

“MA-I !!! PROMISE ME!”

'A promise?'

“IF WE EVER MEET AGAIN IN THE FUTURE, LET'S GET MARRIED!”

“YES! I PROMISE! I WILL MARRY YOU!!”

'Marry? Who?
Who did I promised my marriage to?
Who was I supposed to marry?'

Those were the last words given by both the tear stained young males as they both smiled bitterly and stopped fighting back, accepting that they could only hold onto their promise until they meet once again

The moving pictures slowly faded into bright plain white

'N-No! Wait! I haven't figured out who he was! Wait! WAIT!!'

"WAIT!"
I yelled jolting up to see I was in a bed
A sweat dropped down from my face panting as if feeling I haven't gotten any air for a long time

'Who was he?'

I asked in my mind looking at the place around me
Everything was different, this wasn't my home

'This isn't my house... Where am I?'

"I see that you're finally awake."
A sudden familiar voice was heard as I turned to the direction of where the sound was from

"... You're-"
