218 Return 1 (2/2)
Gio replied. ”Yeah. I learned. I had to.”
She froze for a moment, realizing the hidden meaning behind his response.
He had to. Because he had nothing with him when he got tossed out of the country and couldn't procure news or pictures of her too.
Painting had become his only solace. He learned the craft as to not go mad from missing her too much.
Her heart felt so heavy and constrained.
It was not only him who almost went crazy due to their separation. He too. When they had a brief talk yesterday, she learned of how he couldn't go into the city no matter how many attempts he tried. No possible way to communicate too.
For the past three years that Alina City was beguiled, it was like he had lived in a different dimension and there was simply no way for his world to intersect with hers again. For her, that sounded so painful and frightening.
”Sofy...”
The heartwarming gaze he gave her made her return to her senses and feel thankful that they were now back to each other's side.
”Come here.”
She smiled and then obediently came over.
The man gently pulled her into his arms and planted small kisses all over her face and hair.
When their lips met, a long and passionate kiss ensued which made the girl closed her eyes and not noticed that he had already loomed above her.
When they parted, both of them showed each other a happy smile. After leaving a mark on the fair and flawless skin above her collarbone, his lips went to her left cheek.
Grabbing onto her small and smooth hand, he asked, ”Do you still remember what I said yesterday afternoon?”
Drunk in his dark eyes, she nodded. ”I do... How can I ever forget?”
Her free hand went to his face, which he later on grabbed and kissed.
The man stared at her and said,
”I am not a very romantic person. But when I said let's not separate anymore... I definitely mean it.”
Sofony's eyes shook, and tears started to pool within them. Gio's looked at her warmly.
”Let's not be vague about this anymore. Let's put a proper label to our relationship...”
The next words he said was more heavenly and fulfilling than any soulful melody she had heard before.
”Sofy... Be my fiancee... And then my wife.”
His fingers interlocked with hers, squeezing and not letting go as he sincerely added,
”...I badly want you to be mine forever.”
