The clock is ticking. The two people who were once again in love were once again in love. They kissed, made out, and then laughed as if the problem had dissolved in the beauty of love that hit the soul.
The fusion of the two humans became a new experience, where the place where they first met was now a witness that their love could unite in a sea of longing. They prove that sometimes there is a past that does not have to be suppressed and forced into silence. The past sometimes has the right to give evidence that they can create happiness in the future.
Their activities continue. Until the wind that blows between the leaves infiltrates through the window hole of the hospital room, which is illuminated by natural light from the sun. The coolness of nature is second to none. Although much has changed, the softness of nature that touches the heart is still as charming.
Moreover, the person Dali had been looking for all this time, in this place, was also in the same room as him. The sweet little boy he admired has really returned as a burly man who can satisfy his feelings. None other than the man who has legally become her husband.
"Edward, thank you," Dali said quietly.
She was so embarrassed to say so that she hid her face behind Edward's exposed chest. Yes, the two embraced each other naked while letting their bodies collide and rub together.
Edward, who was feeling anxious, immediately ruffled Dali's hair which was already basically a mess due to their lovemaking last night. Sometimes, his Miss was indeed very ambiguous as many things were not stated clearly.
"Thank you for what, Miss?"
Dali raised his head. She smiled shyly and kissed Edward's cheek followed by a tightening hug. Edward was overwhelmed by the gesture.
"Thank you for patiently loving me all this time. I love you. Hehehe," Dali replied with a chuckle.
It must have been very difficult for her lover to declare his love. Although Edward was Dali's first love, her attitude as a bar-bar woman seemed to prevent her from being romantic to her partner. It made her uncomfortable to say romantic things, a far cry from the real Dali.
So, Edward had to lure her further by gently kissing Dali's lips. Think of it as the morning kiss they used to do before.
"Just affection, Miss?" Edward teased.
Dali's cheeks reddened slightly, indicating that Dali understood Edward's intentions. Since long ago, Edward had always asked for reassurance from Dali. The man couldn't seem to be satisfied until it actually came out of Dali's lips.
"What do you want?" asked Dali to dismiss his nervousness.
Edward smiled broadly like a child being offered a toy. "If it's love, is it okay, Miss?"
Dali laughed crisply. However, she replied with a definite, "Yes."
"Then tell me, Miss."
Edward's demand was responded to by Dali awkwardly. She was embarrassed as hell. After trying to muster up the courage, Dali finally said, "Well, yes. I really love you, hehehe."
This time it was Edward who chuckled. Just expressing love like a joke. In fact, they had been married for almost a year and were already in love with each other.
However, for Edward this was more than enough. For him, it was already a great achievement to hear Dali say love. Moreover, the action is also never half-hearted. Always asking for rations first!
So, out of joy, Edward took the leather box containing Dali's birthday necklace and showed it to Dali.
"Miss, since you've found me, I have no more reason to keep this necklace. So, you can wear it if you want. The necklace is enough as proof of our struggle to see each other again."
Duh, why does Dali feel so bitter? It's like being proposed to by a man when they've been married for a long time. Maybe it's like being proposed to in marriage. Remember, they used to get married just to get married. There was no heart-to-heart proposal.
So honestly, Dali was touched. Moreover, his proposal also far exceeded his expectations because he was given back a necklace that held many of his memories. Dali had no choice but to accept it wholeheartedly.
"Alright. I agree. Thank you for taking care of my necklace and my feelings all this time. I will always love you too."
"Miss!"
Edward's eyes were completely wide. The man couldn't believe it, Dali was saying love again. However, this time, it was the first time Dali said love without being asked. Her cheeks also showed a red tinge that emphasized that Dali was embarrassed.
Finally, Edward's happiness was perfect. Edward was so happy that he wanted to scream at the top of his lungs. Edward seemed to want the world to know how beautiful the love that disturbed his heart was. However, there was only one thing Edward could express, and that was a soul-comforting hug and kiss.
"Thank you, Miss. I will always love you too. By the way, since a long time ago, your lips have always felt soft and sweet on mine," Edward murmured after being satisfied expressing love behaviorally.
Dali was surprised. "Oh yeah? Do you actually remember the first time we ...."
"Yes, of course I remember the first night with Nona. When Bubun was there, right?" Edward explained with a crisp laugh.
A very interesting first experience to remember. However, Dali looked annoyed. In fact, Dali looked at him with a fierce gaze.
"Damn! Why do you even pretend not to know. I'm really annoyed. You took my virginity and pretended to be stupid," Dali complained.
Edward just chuckled. The memories of that time were actually very sweet. He still remembered well Dali's face that was flushed red with shame after their hot and tense first night.
"Well, Miss was the one who pretended to be evasive first, right? So what can I do other than pretend not to know?" Edward's alibi.
"Ah, lazy, ah!"
Dali immediately showed a sulking posture by folding her arms in front of her chest and staring in the other direction. No matter how long it took, even though it was sometimes tiring, Dali's grumpy and sulking attitude for him was still an attitude that showed a sense of spoilage, wanting to be loved, and wanting to be cared for. So, Edward took the initiative to hug Dali from behind while resting his head on his wife's nape.
"But, that wasn't actually our first kiss, Miss. Nor was it when you accidentally kissed me before the first night. Actually, we've been kissing for much longer than that," Edward explained, sending chills down her spine.
Dali really didn't understand, why every touch from Edward always made Dali aroused faster. Is it because he already knows how delicious Edward's touch is, or is it because Edward's perfect posture immediately ignites his passion faster?
"What do you mean?" asked Dali curiously.
Dali immediately turned his head so that their lips almost collided again. Dali was shocked. Fortunately, Edward was not naughty anymore.
"Yes, because as a child I stole Miss's first kiss," Edward replied lightly.
"What!"
So, the morning until noon was filled with debates about Edward's past pranks that dared to kiss Dali while sleeping to sharing stories about what experiences they had gained while living their respective lives.
