Chapter 257 - Truth or dare (1/2)
Hugging his wife tightly in his embrace as they both continued swaying slowly, Sei bent and spoke softly near her ears.
”Davi… I'm leaving tomorrow.” He said. His voice was hoarse and sad but for some reason, Davi could feel a strange intensity with his tone.
She pulled away to look at his face when to her surprise, Sei's eyes were brimming with determination and fighting spirit. Something that Davi never saw in him before. Not knowing that it was the same look she gave him last night when she swore not to give up on him.
”Mm. I know. Just as I've said, I will wait for you no matter how long it takes.” She replied and Sei just embraced her tightly again.
”When I come back, I promise I will take you out no matter where you want to go. Not hiding anymore. We will freely roam around just like those couples in the park.” He uttered and Davi couldn't help but tear up. She can't deny that she was wishing she could take him out freely. She has lots of things she wanted to do with him outside like what normal couples do that just by imagining them made her want to cry. However, what made her teared was the fact that Sei seemed to be envious on the freedom other people has.
That moment, she could only grip him tightly. She was aware about his story and she was praying and wishing every single day for him to be finally freed. Thinking about the years he spent in the darkness, being caged without freedom made her heart aches so bad.
”Mm. I believe you can settle everything soon. When you come back, I will bring you to the beach, to the market, to the mall, to the street, everywhere. We could even go to Mt. Everest.” She said as she chuckled before she tiptoed and held his face.
”I believe in you Sei.” She continued and she kissed him.
…
After their romantic date, the two then entered the house. Knowing that Sei was leaving tomorrow, Davi don't want to sleep yet. She wanted to stay with him, look at him, and hold him as long as there's still time.
She leads him towards the longue and they were about to sit in the sofa when Davi remembered the small box that Hinari gave her before she left. She said that it was a sweet game for couple and told her to play it with her husband when they're alone at night.
”Okay, we're going to play a game. There's this game my friend gave me.” Davi said and they both went upstairs to get the box. They then sat on the couch near the window while Davi opened the small box Hinari gave her. The box was filled with rolled piece of papers. There was a note on top of it so Davi took it. She opened it and the words, 'Truth or Dare Rules' was written on top of it.
Davi's brows creased a little the moment she realized it was actually a truth or dare game. She played it once before in high school and she thought it wasn't fun at all, but since she already asked Sei to play it, she could only shrug. Not knowing that Hinari's purpose in preparing that game for her was the complete opposite of the kind of game she has in mind.
”Do you know how to play this?” She then asked and Sei shook his head.
”You can teach me, I will learn it in no time.” He replied so Davi immediately gave him the note.
[Rule #1. Pick one rolled piece of paper in the box and read the question to your partner. If your partner says 'truth' he/she will answer the question truthfully, if he/she says 'dare', flip the paper and read to him/her the dare written at the back. Do it alternately.
Rule #2. You cannot change a dare or truth once selected.
Rule #3. Do not lie when you choose the truth.
Rule #4. No matter how embarrassing the dare was, you have to play it. No excuses.]
Upon reading the note, Sei looked at Davi.
”Any question?” She asked and the man shook his head.
