Chapter 397

It took me quite a long time to be able to win her over. I remembered the hurdle that I had to go through but I do not regret it all. When Naki loves, sbe loves fiercely. Despite all that happened with us, she still showed her love in her own little way that would not be easily picked up by others who do not know her. She left the comfort of the tent and came out expecting his return and I know in her little way, she would have did some search. I do not know why I am feeling nostalgic now, but I think some fresh air and a walk together would do us both some good,

"Will you walk with me?" I had just gotten back from doing this exact thing but I felt like walking with someone will help lessen the burden,

I stretched my hand out to her, she looked at my hand and looked back up at me. I knew this was not what she wanted to hear, but this was exactly what I had to offer right now, and she knew that if she wants to hear any answer from me, she has to go with me. I was actually not expecting her to hold my hand, she could lead the way and I followed behind her. She took a deep breath and placed her hand in mine, I turned our hand to look at it in all angle. Her hand felt warm and a little bit sweaty, probably from rubbing them together while waiting for us 

It had been a while since I held someone like this and I do like it. It sent a pleasant feeling down my spine,the feeling of reassurance that I was not alone and I had someone willing to go through it all with me, but the truth remains that I can not tell her everything. I would try my best to tell her as much as I can, to help calm get a bit. There was no need to drag her down with me in whatever I would do. I squeezed her hand a little, and she returned the gesture with a little smile. It made me know that we may be able to get through it all together and that our relationship was going to be fine. With that we walked into the dark,

We had no specific direction in out mind, we just allowed our legs to lead the way. The weather was fine today, it was not cold neither was it hot. Neither of us said anything at first, we were comfortable in the silence but I knew it would not last long before she would start with the questions,

"What did you find out Lena? Please stop keeping me in suspense" she looked so innocent and open right now,

I turned away from her and stared into the vast darkness, the truth - as much as I could tell her- spilled out of my lips
