14 Chocolate bars (1/2)
”Ikki, can I ask something?”
Finally, she starts to speak again.
”Sure, what is it?”
”If you find the cave you looking for, are you going back to your country?”
”Yes, of course. Why?”
”Um …um….” She looks hesitate to speak
”Just say what's on your mind Silvie”
”Um … can I visit your country with you?”
Last night when her father asks me, I reply it by asking for time to think about. Now she asks it herself, how am I supposed to reply?
”No problem. As long as I can find the cave”, finally I can answer it. Well, I hope with this promise at least she will help me looking the cave heart fully.
She's smiling when hearing that answer. Oh my, what a beautiful smile on that red lips. Her blue eyes also glimmer with excitement.Too bad, this view is not forever, after few moments she returns to her usual appearance.
”Ikki, can I ask one more question?”
”Sure, what is it?”
”If you can't find that cave, what will you do?”
I become silenced. Frankly speaking, I don't know what to do if I can't find that cave, and I still hope I can find the cave and return to Japan. I sighed before answer it
”Frankly, I don't know. I still hope I can find it”
”Sorry, I didn't mean to make you sad”
”It's okay. I'm not sad, I just worried about my family”
Huh? Why she suddenly look gloomy when I mention my family?
”Ikki ….are you …married?”
Eh? Me married? Is she …..
”Hahaha … I'm not married … yet. But I still have parents, grandfather and little sister, that's my family”
Her gloomy face suddenly changed into joyful ones, like the sun that shines brightly after heavy rains.
”Sorry, I thought you already married and worried about your wife. In here almost all boys and girls in our ages already married”
She said that while smile wryly. I just scratch my head don't know what to say when suddenly a growl can be heard from her belly. She makes a shy scream and covers her face with both her hands. I'm sure that behind those hands, her face must be very red. I'm chuckled when seeing her cute reaction.
So I'm searching my backpack, looking for something to eat, and find some chocolate there. I take two bars of chocolate and handed one to her.
”You must be hungry after walking so far, here, take and eat this. You'll be like it”
”Ikki … you…you're not going to despise me?” she asks timidly
”Why should I despise you?”
