"I'm sorry Fio"
With a smile full of sadness and a look of betrayal, the girl with maroon hair who is now in the arms of a young witch with blue hair and two blue beads that reflect the figure of the girl on his lap, surrounded by rainy conditions that enveloped them in the middle of a dark, remote alley unreachable by sunlight.
The girl called Fio raised her left hand, then rubbed the young man's cheek while saying "Hopefully we can meet again in the future where I will fall in love with you".
Accompanied by the roar from the storm, the sound of the heartbeat that was slowing down, no longer could be heard by the young man who was now clinging to Fio's body while chanting a few spells for her.
"Well, I'll wait for that time to come"

In the crowd at the supermarket, two people were seen walking together, joy in their faces as if they could not contain the happiness they were feeling.
"What do you want to buy on the market?" asked the girl.
However, the girl's question did not get an answer from the interlocutor, but the young man just smiled at her and then returned to focus on his front.
Not getting any answer, the young girl frowned and looked away from the young man. And immediately, she found a small stall selling antiques. However, no matter how many items were displayed in the shop, only one thing glistened in the eyes of this girl.
Without saying anything, she immediately ran towards the shop. Leaving his wandering friend walking alone.
It didn't take long, the boy stopped and looked back, looking for the whereabouts of his best friend who had disappeared before him. After looking slowly from the left to the right of the road, he also found the mane of his friend's golden brown hair, who was busy staring at the goods in a small shop on the right side of the supermarket road. The shop is only propped up by wood, each in the four corners of the shop, with a wide tarp that stretches out over the shop as protection from sun or rain. There is a small wardrobe with figures of items that are unique and unusual in the country where they now stand.
The young man with turquoise green eyes was walking toward the place where his friend stopped by.
"How about it, miss? This is a very rare and antique product. You won't even find it in any kingdom because only I own this item," said the seller who was rubbing a small clock shaped like a compass with a string of golden chain connected and can be used as a necklace.
The more attracted by the seller's words, this young princess's eyes sparkled with hope "How much is this clock, sir?"
"For this clock, there is a feature, so the price is quite high if I explain it," replied the old man with a black coat.
"May I know the price, sir? Who knows if I have enough money to buy it" said the young girl who now reached into the small bag she was hiding in her robe.
The young man who was now also staring and looking at the antiques owned by the shop, became interested and asked some of the items displayed on the shop display "Is there anything interesting about this clock, sir?"
The man smiled proudly and put his hands on his thin waist. "The age of this clock is older than this country" he explained.
"Really?! I want to buy this sir, please wrap it up for me" said the princess of their country.
Sighed "Why did you buy a clock like this? Isn't the clock thing in your residence are more attractive and elegant than this one?" asked the young man.
The princess with golden-brown hair smirked her mouth and faced the young man "You forgot, huh? I love rare items, things like this can't be missed from my sight. Maybe from now on I will take it wherever I go" explained the princess. which is now clutching an ancient clock that is still functioning and ticking.
"How old is this clock, sir?"
The old man grunted and answered "14 thousand years. That is the real age of this clock". After answering the question, this old seller went to the back of the shop to get a goody bag to put the clock in. "There are rumors, that the age of this clock is the same as the kingdom of Osforia. And it was made by someone famous at that time".
After putting the clock into the goody bag, the old man gave it to the princess, slowly whispered the price of the clock, and at the same time received money from the princess.
The young man who had been silent all this time, nudged the side of his friend "Hey, how much is it?" he whispered.
"It's secret. Thank you sir for the explanation" replied the young girl.
Hearing his friend's answer, the young man wore a flat expression and thanked the seller. Then the two of them left the shop.
"Mio, this time I will not help you when you get asked by Gavin about that clock," said the young man dressed as a butler with low ponytail hair.
But Mio was just humming happily beside him, the girl seemed fixated on the item she had bought earlier.
Not getting any comments, he flicked the forehead of the interlocutor who was walking beside him "Don't be too focused, look ahead while walking"
"But you don't have to do that to me" groaned the girl who was touching her forehead.
"Somehow I have a bad feeling about this clock," said the young man.
The princess knit her eyebrows "What do you mean?"
Slightly shaking his head, her childhood friend just replied "You don't need to think about it. Forget it, remember Gavin is waiting for you"
Mio tried to forgot what her best friend had just said "You're starting to sound like him, Rei"
With a little laugh, Rei grabbed his best friend's hand and walked faster so they could immediately reach their destination.
Feeling the warmth spreading across the palm of her right hand, Miona smiled shyly with a blush on both cheeks. Hey god of time, if you exist. I beg you to keep and continue to allow me to be with him. Let me be with him forever and ever.
