More Misunderstanding?

"Prince! did you come for me?" Omisha asked, making her eyes bigger than it already was. And Li Xuan was having difficulty with choosing his answer. If he was being honest then he had no idea about Omisha being a student in MIS.

He bent down on his knees so their faces were at the same level. "Mhm, I came for you and your friends." Said Li Xuan accompanied with a gentle smile on his lips. And what he said wasn't a lie. Because he indeed came to play around with the kids.

"Really? that's great!" The little girl beamed with joy. She then grabbed both Lucy and Li Xuan's hands, "Come, I'll introduce you two with my friends!" With saying that the little girl pulled them along with her as she ran toward her friends.

"Friends!" Omisha called and the little group of her friends came running to her. "Meet my Angel and Prince!" She introduced her friends to Lucy and Li Xuan. Then she said, "And these are my friends– Rica, Lan Qi, and Hero!"

"Hello, Auntie! Hello Uncle!" The kids waved their tiny palms in greeting and the Seniors returned their sweet gesture with equal affection. Then the little girl whose name was Rica, came forward and said, "Wow Auntie, you are as pretty as my Mama!" And it had Lucy laugh softly.

Lucy bent down and said, "And little Rica is as sweet as my Omisha. In fact, you all are just like Omisha." The kids beamed in happiness.

"Uncle, I think I have seen you somewhere... but where?" The kid named Hero murmured while eyeing Li Xuan.

"You must have seen this uncle on the television!" Another kid named Lan Qi exclaimed.

"That's right! I saw you on the TV when my Bába was watching your interview!" Hero exclaimed as he recalled the exact moment where he had seen him. That day he wanted to watch Doremon but his Bába wasn't letting him take control of the TV. He was so frustrated that day!

Li Xuan as if reading the little boy's mind cautiously asked, "And I think you were not pleased to see me on the TV. Right, little Sir?" The boy nodded in confirmation.

"Yeah, because of your interview my Bába didn't let me watch my favourite doremon." The boy complained with a cute pout which had left Lucy to be awestruck.

"T–that's so terrible of me," Li Xuan said. "But I promise we will have lots of fun during this trip. Is that will be enough to compensate for the damage my interview had caused you?" Li Xuan asked the little boy who seemed to like the sound of this idea.

"Yes." Said the little boy and Li Xuan let out a breath of relief.

...

The Sun hid behind other dimensions and the moon revealed its beautiful light which cut through the darkness to make a contact with the earth. Meanwhile, the stars decorated the sky only to show the beauty of the night. Under that beautiful sky, there chirped the crickets– providing music for the earthlings.

The kids and companies sat around the gigantic bonfire which was spreading pleasant warmth in the surrounding.

Everyone had a fair amount of baked potato in their hands. Omisha who was sitting between Lucy and Li Xuan, seemed to be hesitant in taking a bite from that potato. Because it looked burnt from every angle. "Angel, will it be yummy?"

Lucy shrugged her shoulders then she said, "How will you know if you don't taste it?" Yeah, her Angel just loved playing the devil. The little girl turned to her other option, Prince.

"How does it taste?" She asked Li Xuan.

Li Xuan took a moment to think before replying, "Everyone has different preferences, but if you ask about mine, it's five out of five for me." So it's edible, right? Omisha questioned in her mind then slowly took one bite out of the potato. It tasted different but not strange.

"So? How was it?" Li Xuan asked once the little girl was done chewing food in her mouth. And the girl gave him a thumbs up in response.

On the corner of her mouth, there was something or more like the thing she just ate. Li Xuan used his thumb finger to brush it away. And this little gesture of him created more misunderstanding within the people around him. Those who thought Lucy and Li Xuan to be a couple, were now awestruck by the view. They murmured about how caring father he was... Well not like those people were less caring of their children.

"Thank you, Prince,"

"Team, I think now we should go for sleep. After all, we are tired. And moreover, an adventurous day awaits us tomorrow." One of the teachers suggested and the rest showed no objection to it. Everyone headed for their respective camps.

"Angel, I love this place! How nice it would be to live here!" Said Omisha like a nature lover she was. Lucy cooked her eyebrows as she asked,

"You want to live in such places?" Omisha nodded in response. And Lucy came to a conclusion that within four to five years she will settle in a countryside area. "Maybe it can be possible in future. But for now, you should sleep as your teacher had said."

"Okay, Angel. Goodnight." uttered the little girl before closing her eyes.

Omisha fall asleep within few minutes. But Lucy was still awake because she wasn't an early sleeper. And hence, she decided to take a walk in the fresh air. When she came out of the camp, she found herself to be alone out there. And that's what she needed.

The cool winds collided against her skin as she stared up in the sky. Now there wasn't even a single star available for her to admire. The only thing left there was black clouds looming in the sky. Rainy smell was mixed in the air, and she concluded, soon it was going to rain. She loved rain, but the rain wasn't healthy for her. Just one or two minutes in rain were more than enough for her to get sick.

And yet, she stayed outside as if being hypnotized by the weather. Soon, the first drop of rain fall on the tip of her nose and she closed her eyes as she enjoyed that feeling.

She opened her eyes when she felt someone covering her with a coat that had the traces of a familiar minty scent.

"Seems like someone is planning to get sick in this rain." Murmured the one who was the owner of that coat.
