time's up."
After chatting in a convenient store, they went back to the park where they met earlier. They are just taking slow steps, enjoying every second that passes by.
"Are you feeling better now?" He asked while looking at the sky.
"Mhm," she nodded and looked at him, how he admired the sky somewhat makes her envious, she wanted him to admire her like how he admires the celestial bodies.
She knew it is a little early but she doesn't want to be too late either, it's almost three hours since they first met each other and she wanted to tell those three words to him: I love you.
"I'm going to miss here," he said out of the blue. "The sky is clearer here compared to home,"
"Home? What do you mean? The sky is all the same here in the province," She asked
"Yeah, home, back at France. I'm just here in your province for a vacation," he looked at her and smiled.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUe7fQtBRR

That made her realized why she was crying earlier.
"You travelled far, th-that's amazing," she tried to smile back459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlF0f6gSs1M

"It was worth it to travel far but I will be heading back tomorrow night, So I'm gonna ask for your name and email so we could---why did you stopped walking?"
"Let's stop." She said in a low tone of voice while staring down.
"Okay, we could rest for a bit, let's sit on that swing." He held her hand but she was still standing. "Is there anything wrong?"
"I mean let's stop this, let's not meet again." a tear escaped her eye.
Immediately, he gently wiped her cheeks with her thumb. "Why?" He was worried, very much.
"If this something goes deeper, we both know that it will not work. You could've told me that earlier. Let's end before everything falls into tragedy," she started to shed many tears.
He hugged her and he's trying his best not to cry "I'm sorry, I know it may not work but at least we could try,"
"I'm sorry too but it's best if we stop here so the pain will not be unbearable someday," she hugged her back, it will be the first and last hug that they shared, she just hoped that at least they were smiling instead of crying that time.
"I love you." He said and he did not waited for her response and kissed her.
"I-I---" placing his forefinger on her lips, he shushed her.
"Let's just pretend that this is just a dream that we will soon forget, destiny will find a way for us someday," he smiled bitterly, turned around and walked to the direction where he was heading before she met her.
Can't do anything, she watched him until his back was no longer visible.

She wanted to run after him, but she can't so she cried, the pain she was bearing was back again now that he is gone, this time her sadness was doubled.
Like earlier, she sat at the swing. The hour is later, the sky is dimmer and so does she.459Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqKUdfRoaax

The lady didn't forced him to leave because of his reason but because of her's. Remember her white dress earlier?
With all her courage, she opened her phone and saw spams and tons of text messages, one of them was:
"Hey where are you? Mom was so worried about you. You need to have this operation, it's for your own good. Trust me, you will survive."

She knew it would be selfish if they will love each other and die in the end, leaving him behind.
The playground was where they first met and bid goodbye, where they also shared their firsts and lasts.
This is one of the reasons why strangers can only be strangers; they only exist for a second in our lives.
"What's the point of making a short story long if someone will leave in the end?" Even though no one will answer her question, she asked.
And her ending was back again in the beginning.
