Part 3.
5:30 PM
"Oh damn ittt!- how long will it take till the clock strikes 6pm!!!" Nadia thought to herself while fidgeting with a pen. It was her habit to do so whenever she would feel bored or anxious.
5:55 pm
"Ugh!! Enough! I can't take the damn suspense! My stomach's started doing a dancy dance out of anxiousness,"
She stood up impatiently and walked slowly towards the staircase,
"Who is Ron? Was he actually Arnold? Then why didn't he already tell me about it? Jesus! I can't take this!"- she was struggling with those thoughts when she heard a familiar voice singing a song, coming from the terrace faintly.
"Tangerine! Tangerine! Lalala
Tangerine Tangerine touch of bliss....."
She entered the terrace and saw Ron.
He sat there with his eyes closed, singing sweetly, his face's contour was picture perfect. He was so engrossed that he didn't noticed Nadia.
Nadia then sang,
"Seeping through the dozing sun...
And resting on my lips."
Ron opened his eyes and saw her,
" Here you are! " he said.
"Continue the song" Nadia smiled and said.
"Sip on my tea, yet I taste the haze, " Ron sang.
"Of the drunken sun, with his stupefied gaze," Nadia completed the line as tears welled up her eyes.
Ron said, "hey! Hey! What happened? Why are you crying? "
Nadia Jumped into his arms, hugged him and cried her eyes out...
Ron tightly hugged her.
He said, " come on silly! Don't cry! You are making me cry too"
Nadia Said (still hugging him) " you stupid! You idiot! You moron!!! Where did you go??? Every time i went back for vacation to the seaside I never saw you since the last time we met when we were 4, why did you go? I thought you forgot me *sob* "
"I'm sorry cupcakes, I was sent to my aunt's house, abroad for studies, you know, the seaside is a remote place where schooling facilities were not advanced, and more over my parents' restaurant business went down drastically after the new Japanese restaurant was set up next to ours, so both mum and dad decided to move back to their hometown for a year and decide what to do next. They gradually decided to give it another shot and build their restaurant business here in this city, for better scope. Business is booming since then, After completing my studies I came back here in this city, to complete my high school, my aunt accompanied me, she is staying with me here for a few days and she will return back soon ...
you know Nadia, I always thought about you, I missed you so much......but I was pleasantly shocked to see you here... what a coincidence! I moved right next door to you....you know I recognized you when I saw uncle and you walking towards the convenience store day before yesterday at evening when I moved here, I was too surprised to even approach both of you, what if it was not you? So when I met you yesterday I decided to give you sometime and see whether you remember me or not. I'm so glad Nadia! I'm so glad to meet you"
Nadia then remembered that Arnold's nickname was Ron. She said, "The Universe reunited us! I'm so grateful! I'm glad as well Arnold! I'm very very glad"
Both of them talked a lot, then Nadia took him to her apartment and Nadia's parents were also very surprised to see Ron again, Nadia's mom insisted to invite him and his aunt for dinner.
The evening was well spent.
After dinner, Nadia and Ron were talking, and reminiscing their old times.
Both of them were standing in the balcony of Nadia's room, then Ron said,
"Well cupcakes, I forgot to ask you one thing."
"Hmm? What?" - Nadia.
"Do you still remember our promise?" - Arnold said with a cute wicked smile.
Nadia's face turned red like a tomato.
She said, " ye, yeah- i do remember- b- butttt- "
"So? Are you willing to fulfill that promise?". Arnold kept smiling.
" oh! Shut up baka! " Nadia shyly laughed.
Both of them laughed.
“Have I ever told you that I loved you? “ Ron said.
“No” Nadia blushed.
“okay then... so Nadia, I love you” Ron smiled and said.
"I love you too" Nadia replied.
then Arnold pulled Nadia for a kiss, It was so sweet
Years went by, their relationship grew stronger.
8 years later.
It was their wedding day.
Nadia was dressed beautifully in her wedding dress,
While Arnold waited for her.
With the vows they took, their families and friends rejoiced,
And both of them promised to never separate until death.
the promise of those innocent hearts finally bloomed into reality.
