The Meeting

"You know, you scared me too much. I thought that you were not going to be found, but... but... thank Naka, you are now safe and well. Just promise me that you won't ever do this to your mother again, okay," Celeste immediately followed soon after, alongside Sura, Fiona, Grandma Celia, Ayla, and everyone else, each uttering a few emotional words.

Witnessing this, Orion felt his heart swell with intense emotion. He was genuinely glad that every single one of them was his partner, and he didn't regret proposing to them for a moment.

Just as he was about to speak, he felt his forehead become wet, as though it were raining. 

However, the sun was still shining brightly, and Orion knew that the rainy season had not yet arrived.

Nonetheless, when he lifted his gaze, he quickly found his answer. 

Lyra was kneeling behind him, her eyes reddened and teary, a basket brimming with Kalna fruits positioned on the ground beside her, seemingly placed there by her.
