22 Memories 4

Marga smile to herself as she walked towards where Stephen was,"What is it?" she said softly so that only Stephen can hear.

"I have something very important to tell you"

"..."

"Ahm, I want to continue my studies in Country F where I had my therapy, so I might be really busy from here on wards. I may not be able to see you as often as I could, well, I don't want you to miss me that much, but I just want to tell you that I will not look at other girls while I'm there, okay? so no need for you to worry." he smiled at Marga, even though it sounded like he was joking, he was in fact very serious. He gave Marga the paper that he has been holding, it was his schedule for the whole semester for the next school year, and it was jam packed. She was a bit worried about him, knowing him, he would be barely having his meals now that he will be interning at a major hospital and finishing his studies at the same time.

She don't want him to be too tired, she don't want him to miss on his meals, what she wants is to take care of him, and most of all she don't want him to look at other girls, just thinking about it makes her uneasy, so she closed her eyes and took a deep breath, looked at Stephen in the eyes then leaned in for a kiss, "okay!", she then smiled sweetly at him. Stephen's mind went blank, what just happened, did she just kissed him, does this mean that they are officially together now? Still stunned, he continued to stare at Marga, "you cannot miss your meals, you need to take a break when you're tired and don't you ever look at other girls because you are mine!" and then Marga stood up leaving Stephen still lost for words.

It took him a few seconds to snap out of it, realizing that Marga is now going back to her tent, he hurriedly stood up and ran after her, finally catching up to her, he pulled her in his arms, "Thank you, you don't know how happy I am today. I promise to always listen to you and not make you worry." he whispered in her ear. Then he cupped her cheeks with his hands and kissed her passionately on the lips, then hugged her tightly again, it felt like he his heart is about to melt right now because of it is overflowing with warmth and happiness. "Can you tell me again Marga, are we really together now?" he whispered softly, his voice hoarse, then looked at Marga's blushing face.

"Yes Mr. Stephen Son, we are now officially together, so don't you dare look at other girls while you're away, just concentrate with your books!" Marga said as she pinched the boy's cheeks until he complained that it hurts. Oww it hurts, this confirmed that he was not dreaming, so he beamed at the girl and kissed her again, then he took something from his pocket. It was a promise ring that he have been carrying for a long long time, 5 years to be exact, but all his efforts finally paid off, now he just needs to work even harder for their future, now that they are together, he will never let her go.

"You need to go to sleep Honey, I know you just flew in for 36 today just to be here, don't worry, I will keep watch on Aunt's condition, okay?" still hugging the crying Marga, he patted her back. "Stephen, I'm really scared."

"I know you are, we are all worried, but you also have to take care of yourself, just sleep a bit, I will call for you if something comes up, okay, please? Aunt won't be happy if she would know that you have not rested well." he kissed her forehead, then her lips and lead her to their room.
