Chapter 9 : For you, My Rinoa
"Attention customers, our flight to XXX, is going to take off in 10 minutes….."
Squall urged the Chocobo to fly faster. It obeyed and soon they arrived at the Galbadia International Airport (I made it up ok, it's my fic!), at 12.05pm. Fear is what he felt now, fear of loosing her. Or maybe he just wanna see her for the last time. Ah, Squall's mind is unpredictable.
*Rinoa, wait………..
The girl in a white dress and a light blue hat took a last glance at the elevator before walking to the plane.
"Rinoa, the plane is not going to wait for us," her father said.
She frowned solemnly at him.
She chose the seat next to the window to see if someone appears suddenly. Meanwhile, the person who she's hoping for was searching for her, he even went to the hangar, to see if she's there. Finally he has no choice but to further his search at the airport gate. It was already 12.45pm.
The plane left the ground, Rinoa was still fixing her eyes on it though. Suddenly a young man with bronze coloured hair appeared at the bottom. She blinked several times to ensured herself.
"RINOA………..!!!!!" the guy shouted.
Two guards went and took him away, the girl shook her head in dismay and scolding herself for regretting her decision, now there's no way she could get out so finally she sat back properly at her place and lowered her hat to cover her face.
"Sayounara…….,Squall……." She whispered and tears rolled uncontrollably down her cheeks.
"RINOAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Squall shouted as loud as he could.
He jerked up and sat there, sweating and gasping very hard.
*It was a dream?! Thank God it was a dream!! A huge nightmare!!
Wasting no time, he went to look for Rinoa. No, after thinking about it, he could never live without her, after all they have gone through. He loved her too much! How can he imagine her leaving him. He could possibly end his life! He then remembered the last day of Rinoa's diary, the day when the incident happened at the pub, there was just one word written.
[SAYOUNARA]
All this started to make sense, his dream, Zell's advice, the diary… all this happened just to tell him to find her. Only now, he knew how important Rinoa is, in his life. He encountered Quistis on his way to the car park.
"Squall, congratulations! The Golden Chocobo is really cute," she congratulated him.
"No, this can't be true," he mumbled to himself, pressing his head, pushing his hair backwards.
"Di…did I go anywhere after the test?" he asked her for assurance.
"What are you talking about? Zell, Selphie and Irvine came back with you riding the cute little thing. Are you alright?" she asked with concern.
"I'm ok, thanks," he said and went away.
"Squall, where are you going? It's raining out there!" his instructor shouted as he disappears to the car park.
He drove with fast speed to Rinoa's place. There, he saw her and her father at the doorstep, loading a couple of luggage into the limo. Rinoa was wearing the very dress he saw in his dreams. The car shrieks as he pulled it into a halt in front of the limo, blocking it's way. Squall got out from the car and went straight to Rinoa.
"Rinoa," he called softly, breathing hard to be exact.
She flung her head backwards immediately after hearing that familiar voice. She didn't speak nor Squall did. He just pulled her away to another place for a private talk. He pulled her to the beach, the place where he met the Water Witch.
[Savage Garden's Universe began to play at the background,(I'm making this sounds like a drama, hahaha!)]
It was raining quite heavily, but no thunderstorms, just splashing droplets of water with a faint light of the Sun shining behind the clouds. Soon, they are all soak. Squall then released her hand and walked a little forward to the shore, facing his back to her. His heart was beating very fast again. Rinoa had to hold tightly on her hat to prevent it to fly off by the strong breeze.
"I…I'm sorry," he said softly (he finally managed to speak!!).
"What!?" Rinoa couldn't hear him clearly due to the rain so she walked a little closer to him.
"I said I'm sorry," he said a bit louder this time.
Rinoa can hardly hear him but she still heard him, a little.
"Again?"
"I'm sorry," he said while turning back to face her.
"I still couldn't hear you~" she said playfully, smiling now.
They are now just a few inches from each other.
"I love you, Rinoa," Squall said in his ever so husky voice, smiling at her, a very true smile from the heart.
"I love you too, Squall!" she replied, hanging her arms around his neck once more, feeling the warmth of his body in the rain, not bothering her hat to fly away.
"I don't want you to leave me, please don't go," he asked in a begging voice.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm sorry too," she apologized.
Both of them giggled and hugged each other tightly, never let go. Squall pushed Rinoa away for a while and looked into her eyes, shifting her hair aside. Having a better view of those eyes, which were sparkling from her tears. He kissed her, he kissed her again and again as if he could never have enough, and he never would, not in another lifetime. He had felt the pain of not having her around, having the fear that she will leave him and now he will not make the same mistake again, ever.
"Squall….." Rinoa called his name, it's hard to admit but he feels good having her calling his name once more.
Rinoa never knew Squall was so passionate before! It made her a little scared but she liked it. Blushing is normal but her cheeks are as red as tomatoes now!
"You remember this?" she asked him, showing him the ring on her necklace.
Squall was trying really hard to remember but he couldn't. He would remember the ring if he gave her one. Just when he was going to shake his head, the Water Witch arose from the sea, facing Squall. She smiled and nodded.
*So this is what so special about the box! Thank you so much.
*You are most welcome.
Squall was stunned for a while because they were telepathic. She was reading his mind! And no doubt, the rain was also a gift from her too, to make the scene more romantic. He smiled back at her and she disappeared again into the deep blue sea.
"Squall, you here?" Rinoa asked strangely, looking at his sudden smile.
He suddenly grabbed both her hands and said,
"Marry me,"
It was a shock, she froze but later, the smile of her beloved melted her.
"Oh, Squall!!" Rinoa cried happily freeing her tears and hugged him again.
"I love you Rinoa. I'll give you my soul, my love, my life, just [For You, My Rinoa]…….I promise," he whispered in her ears.
Rinoa was crying harder, so touched with his words.
*Damn you Squall, where did you learn to say that?!
"You don't like me saying those?" he asked.
They glanced at each other for a few moments.
"Di…did you just read my mind?" she asked.
"I…I think so," he answered in her tone.
"Wow~ that's weird,"
"Now, I can understand you and you can understand me," he told her, smiling.
They started to kiss again, under the evening sunlight.
