He still hurried to find that particular TV store despite of the time. No, he wasn't finding the store, he was finding Riza. Even though his instincts told him not to continue any further for he was just wasting his time, he was still running, hoping that Riza was still there. Oh well, that was easy. He found Riza who seemed like she was about to cry.
"Roy?"
Roy couldn't talk at that time. He didn't know what to feel. He was happy of course, but at the same time, he was nervous. He wanted to utter a single word but his mouth was unresponsive. Just like the other time, awkwardness engulfed the atmosphere.
"I thought you're not coming."
Riza started as she wiped away a tear on her face, a tear that meant, "I really expected you to come, but I realized I just wasted my time waiting here." Among all the emotions that he felt, one emotion stood out. He didn't know what it is but it pushed him to hold Riza in his arms. All of a sudden, the time began to slow down. The people started to blur one-by-one. The voices of the vendors who yell out the names of what they're selling lessened. The noise from the engines of the vehicles vanished in a snap, and then the song Tsunaida Te by Lil'B entered as background music. All of a sudden, it was just Roy and Riza, standing outside a TV store, having their moment as if every second counts. They weren't feeling any uneasiness at that time. In fact, they both felt the same feeling, the feeling that they couldn't express through words, the strange yet uplifting feeling that they NEVER felt before.
"I-I'm sorry." Roy said as he let go of her.
"Well then, shall we go?" Riza smiled as she was trying to forget what happened.
"Ok." Roy smiled back.
They went to a bookstore known for its updated collection of Mangas. Second, they went somewhere to play arcade. Third, they went in a fast-food chain to eat. This is where they spent most of the time talking again about their 'stuff' and everything. Fourth… I'm tired of stating what they did one-by-one. There's nothing special about this panel, they just enjoyed the day and they got to know each other well and they talked and talked like that day was the last day of their lives. The important thing is they never discussed what happened a while ago. They somehow forgot it. No, actually, that 'matter' crossed their mind several times but they just kept silent about it.
"SpongeBob Squarepaaaaaaaaants!" Riza and Roy sang while walking home. Riza laughed so hard, same as Roy. Yeah, I know. They're getting insane at that time.
And, that's it. I told you, there's nothing special about this panel.
