Chapter 4: Lollipop
As they rested, Takumi asked Misaki "Ne, Misa-chan, how does the amusement park looked like?"
Misaki answered fervently, "The amusement park... Hmm... oh, it has many little houses which sell food and give toys, and then it has many rides... there is a ride with many horses that goes round and round, then there's this big wheel and when you ride on it, you'll see the whole city! And there's the one that spins... gee, you don't go out much, do you?"
All she received was a nod from Takumi. Then, silence enveloped them. And it was then that she noticed the time.
"Oh, I guess I have to go now. Mom and Dad must be worried about me" she said.
'So soon?' Takumi thought 'I... wanted to go on like this forever.'
"Yeah, they must have been worried..." he said instead.
Takumi stared at Misaki, while she was staring at the crimson sky. Takumi looked away and said sheepishly, "Misa-chan, th-thank you..."
This time, Misaki looked at him, and said "You're welcome!" while flashing a very sincere smile.
Takumi looked back at her and lo! He saw the most beautiful smile which he had never seen before.
'THUMP!'
'Na...nani kore?' Takumi thought as he felt his heart skipped a beat. He smiled backed...
"Hwaah! You looked cute when you're smiling! You should smile all the time, or else you'll get old faster!" Misaki said honestly.
With this, Takumi laughed to his heart's content, followed by Misaki, as if the whole place laughed with them.
"Oh, yeah!" Misaki said while digging something in her pocket. "Here, for keeps." She gave that thing to Takumi. It was a lollipop.
Takumi received it and thanked Misaki, "I'll walk you to the border."
"Okay. Thanks again." Misaki replied as they, hand-in-hand, walked towards the border.
For the first time, he felt like he was a real kid.
For the first time, he felt very happy.
It was his first time laughing, smiling and the first time that someone gave him their sincerest smile.
The first time he met a person who brought colors to his dull, daily life, his first friend...
This was his series of firsts...
