Heartache
I clutched my stomach and ribs in pain. I breathed deep to release the ache in my chest. Tears formed in my eyes, making me see blurs. I could feel a tight hug on my back, but I could see the person. The person turned my head and wiped the tears. I could gradually see the blurry person. He had a big smile on his face. I tried to smile back, but I felt sick in the heart so I looked away. He turned me to look at him again and frowned. He hugged me close. I held my head to his chest. I felt a little better. I looked up and gave him a little grin. He grinned back at me. Then I put my head on his shoulder. I whispered something in his ear,
"What is your name so I could remember you."
He whispered back,
"Call me Fai. But you won't have to remember me. I'll always be with you." I looked into his light-blue eyes and then went back to his shoulder.
"Then call me Ani."
"Ani."
"Fai." We both whispered our names to each other.
Then he said,
"Now, are you ok?"
I gave him a smile and said,
"Yes. I am now fine, Fai!"
"Ok then," Fai stood up, taking me with him, "are you hungry? I know I am!" He held his stomach, showing that he was. I blushed and smiled at him.
"I know a perfect restaurant! You'll love it!"
"Ok! Ladies first!" Fai made a gesture for me to go on. I ruffled his hair and walked lady-like to the direction to where the restaurant was.

After a moment, I tugged on Fai's clothes to say to "come on". He grinned at me and followed. I grabbed his hand and said,
"Come on! Or we'll be late!"
