Chapter 1092: Tears falling (1/2)

Outside the tent, the leaves flutters as the wind from below the hill breezes by. A bird flies in the air and sings a song

The sunlight is shining bright illuminating the world, the clouds is white and the sky is blue. Everything seems beautiful.

Inside the tent, in such a beautiful day, Azief brought out the case and propose to the woman he loved, to show his determination

'Marry me, Soph'

That word echoes in her ears. She never thought that she would hear those words coming out from his mouth

Life is uncertain in these magical era of beast, monsters, demons and gods, aliens and all manner of horrors and mystical thing that is in the wide universe

She never thought about marriage.

Not because she did not want to.

But because, the world is vast and talk and the man he loved always seems to want to travel this vast world and wanted to stand on the highest peak the world could offer.

She never thought that he had such a thought.

And like before, like the moment she saw him entering the tent, her mind once again went blank for a second

It was so unexpected that she did not know how to respond. It was so out of place that she thought for a second that she dreams all of this things.

They were about to argue, they were about to say things to each other, to understand and to try to close this matter as good as possible.

In that moment, why would anyone think that in the midst of this, a ring would be pulled out and a proposal would be given?

Certainly not her

She had more to say. She had many more to explain. She had prepared her heart and her mind. But she was not prepared for this.

Azief is in front of her, a case on top of his palm. He slowly opens the case and inside it is a ring. Carved in the inside is Azief & Soph

It is not in the nature of the Malays to propose like this.

But she once told him that it looks very romantic in movies. And he once promised her, if that is what she wants, then that is what she is going to get

Today, he fulfils his promise.

But...but…...the timing is not right. Azief was never good at timing and even Sofia knows this. But this is the worst timing to bring out a ring into it

This is the worst time to try to propose to her. Azief is always like this. He likes to brush things away. Only this time, what she did not know is that Azief is not trying to brush away

That ring is his determination

Still, she did not know how to respond.

She just doesn't understand Azief thinking.

He clearly knows why she is here. He clearly knows what she is intending to do. They had talked about this before. But now suddenly, he ambushed her like this.

What should she say to it?

Said yes? When the initial intention of coming here is to end it.

It is not because she does not love her. It is because she fears that she is not enough. She fears that one day, he would look at her and wish it was someone else.

That feeling, that fear consumes her as much as her love for him. So, no. She could not have said yes.

Still she looks at that ring and by god, she is tempted. For one moment, she thought to herself, maybe all of this could be solved.

But then a moment later, she shook her head out of that delusion. A person in love could hardly think rationally especially when it is about the person they love.

She glances at the ring and then look a Azief.

She is trying to see any trace of expression that she could use to explain this. But, she doubts she could understand his thought at this moment

'What do you mean by this?' she asked

'What do I mean by this? I'm proposing'

Sofia did not smile. The feeling in her heart is a jumbled mess right now. And then tears falls down from her eyes

She did not say a word but one drop of tears seems to answer Azief question. The sunlight from the outside shines even its light toward the area of this tent

And the shadows of these two people seems lonely and sad. In that one tear, it is filled with meaning and emotions that she could not express in words.

Azief laughs bitterly and then he slowly closes the ring case and put it back in his personal space storage.

He sighed
