Late Night Visit

'As i say, I am not convinced that she bend the rules simply because of your relationship. In my eyes, she tried to punish herself instead.'

Cyril looked confused, what does the headmaster meant by that.

He has been thinking about them ever since he parted way with the principle. Looking around, he found a male student gathering around underneath a tree currently chatting with their friends. He walked toward them as his heart races.

"You guys are Tremes's student right?" he asked

"Y-yeah. Do you need anything from us?" One of them asked.

"Do any of you perhaps know what could possibly happened if a student broke your school rules?"

"Ah.. senior, perhaps you unaware? If student broke the school rules, she/he would be sent to the detention room and trust me once you entered that place, you would never ever want to step inside ever again." said student male 1.

"It's not we respect the rules, truth to be told us here are former gangster. Every single one of us did entered the detention room and we would never ever want to step inside that place." said student 2.

"That place traumatize me." student 3 shivered slightly as he remembered his past experience.

"What if a prefect broke the rules?" Cyril asked.

The three on them suddenly stiffened. One of them whom are currently eating ice-cream dropped it and a look of terror appeared on their pale face. They were surrounded by creepy silence.

"Senior, you don't wanna know. Trust us." student 2 spoke almost whispering.

Cyril got even curious. Why would Ann wanted to go someplace that every student wanted to avoid. Just then the principle words rings inside his ear 'she tried to punish herself'.

Not getting enough information, Cyril simply left the place.

...

After coming back home, Ann put down her bag and started undressing as she stepped inside the bathroom taking a long shower. The moment she came out from the shower, she heard the doorbell rang. She took a step toward the door and opened the door slightly and the person outside surprised her.

" Cyril, what are you doing here? Come in." she said as she opened the door a little wider. Cyril eyes darkened as he saw her opening the front door in her bathrobe and he entered quickly afraid that someone might see her like this. After the door was locked, they walk toward the living room.

"Wait here." she said as she disappeared behind a door only to come out later properly dressed. During her absence, Cyril walk around the living room looking at the pictures hanging on the wall. From the corner of his eyes, a single photo frame captured his attention. He couldn't help but smile as he look at the photo.

In the frame, there's two small kids a girl and a boy. The boy eyes are teary as he stroked the girl head. He looked very gentle in the picture meanwhile the girl are rubbing her eyes as she lowered her head, crying. Both of them are wearing winter clothes and their surrounding are filled with snow.

"I will cry if you took that one." A female voice interrupted his memories.

Cyril looked toward his fiancee gently." If you don't want me to take that one, gave me a copy." he smirked. He never know there are picture of them back then.

Ann just shrugged her shoulder as she went inside the kitchen making a drink for the both of them. This view of her make Cyril turned red as he cough awkwardly. He never been conscious of her as a woman before but looking at the grown up her stirs his inside.

As they sat side by side, the question kept on appearing in his mind. He couldn't help but stare at her. "Ann, does my arrival here disturb you?" Cyril asked as he put his cup on the table. "No, i wasn't planning to sleep yet." Ann said clearly not in the same page.

"That's not what i meant. Is it true? That you bend the rules to get yourself punished?" he asked again. This time he could feel her stiffened slightly. "Do.. you.. not want to see me?" sadness apparent in his voice.

"It wasn't like that." Ann denied fast. She put down her drink as she look at her hands. "I had.. been wishing for a very long time. Sometime i would cry myself to sleep just so my wish would came true. I have been waiting for you to come and meet me. Every candle i blew, i wished for the same things."

"I was always afraid that you wouldn't come. I was afraid that you already forgot about the little prankster." he could sense deep sorrow within her and he carried her onto his laps hugging her tight. "When i saw you that day, after so many years, i couldn't believe myself and i thought that i was looking at another mirage of you."

"Even now, i still felt like a dream. I wanted to inflict some pain to myself to convince myself either i am dreaming or not." Ann stretched her arms and hugged Cyril's neck as she sobbed on his chest. "I missed 'baby' " she cried out.

Cyril hugged her tighter as she called his nickname. He know, he understand. He had been feeling that way too, he too had been missing her like crazy. His eyes turned teary as he rubbed his face on her head, coaxing her like how he used to.

That night, their heart intertwined with each other and their bond has gotten stronger than before.

(P/S: just in case you people are thinking about something dirty. No! They didn't do it okay? Geez people, clear up your dirty mind.)

Their presence is enough for the both for them. They have been longing for each others company and when they finally met again, they couldn't hold themself back.

After calming themself, Cyril finally asked. "Why are you still in high school though? Aren't you supposed to be 19 this year?"

"Ah.. about that. I got really really sick so i entered school later than my peers."
