EPISODE 1: Louie's departure

   "What are you doing?" 13 years old

Cici asked. "I'm sketching" 18 years old Louie answered. Cici looked

curious about what Louie is sketching and snatched his sketchbook away from

him. Louie was startled. He tried to get his sketchbook but Cici dodged it. She

was amazed at what he drew. " wow... this is really good!" Cici said.

Cici looked at the drawing again and realized that she looked like the girl in

that drawing. Cici looked at Louie and saw him looking a little guilty. "

it's me, isn't it? " Cici asked Louie.

   " that's just a practice " Louie

said. " you're applying for architecture right? Shouldn't you be

practicing drawing buildings and houses? " Cici asked curiously. Louie was

quiet for a minute. " it might be necessary to draw people there so... I'm

preparing." Louie responded. Cici was confused by what Louie said. "

I don't think they will want you to draw a portrait of a person. Cause it is architecture " Cici said.   Louie was speechless. “ aren’t you like 13

years old? “ Louie asked. “ yes, I am, so what? “ Cici replied with a serious

tone. “ never mind “ Louie said and sighed. Cici gave his sketchbook back to

him. “ can I try? “ Cici asked. “ you wanna draw? It’s quite difficult “ Louie

also asked. “ let me try “ Cici said. Louie smiles a little while handing Cici

a pencil and a sheet of paper. Cici placed the paper on the table and began to

sketch, as well as Louie.

   Louie giggled. “

I’m tellin’ you, you can’t easily learn to draw that fast “ He said and looked

at Cici’s drawing. Louie seems surprised as she draw the details very neatly,

which she makes appear so easy. “ how… how is this possible? Have you ever

sketched before? “ Louie asked. “ nope, I haven’t “ Cici answered. “ No way!

This is very detailed… even though you’re only drawing a pig in a tuxedo! “

Louie stated. “ It’s in my blood “ Cici said in a teasing way.  Louie was not in any way convinced. Before

Louie said anything, his mother called him to get his bags ready for their

departure tomorrow to the airport. Louie says goodbye to Cici before returning

to his house.

 The next day…

   “ I’ll send you letters, I promise”

Louie said while standing in front of his uncle’s car. “ I will too ” Cici

said. Louie hugged Cici as if they would never see each other again. “ I’ll

miss you, Cici “ Louie said and backed out of the hug. “ I’ll miss you too “ Cici

said and then places her hands on the cheeks of Louie. “ what are you doing? “

Louie asked. Cici smiles a little and touched his lips, by means of her lips.

Louie immediately pushed Cici to withdraw from the kiss. Cici gazed upon

Louie’s flustered face. Louie’s sparkling eyes are widening and doesn’t have

the courage to say a thing to Cici.

   A honk coming from the car caught

Louie’s attention. He quickly got in the car without saying anything to Cici. Cici

looked disconsolate as she watches the car drive away.
