She lean against the sky blue painted wall. & said " I put my trust in you and never ever dared

to doubt about you.."

As her tears fell down to her pale cheeks, he was speechless ... trying to figure out what to say to her.

" Rinoa, I.. I never mean to...." his words were cold and trembling then ever.

" That's how you are any way!! I should've known it at the first time. Why didn't you tell me

before?! " she shouted as her tears burst out.

" I'm... I'm... oh.. whatever.." he went out of the room. She fell down slowly to the floor and

let herself cold on the floor.

Few years past by...

" Oh.. Here comes Rinoa!!" Quistis cried with full of joy in her face.

' huh? Rinoa?? She's back.....' Squall was happy to see her back but there's one thing that did not let him go back to

Rinoa. Few years before, they ended up speechless, and avoiding each other. And Rinoa left the school in a year, to

study in other school. After that his memories with her faded slowly except that day.

" hi, Quisty.... It's glad to see you again." said a soft voice from Squall's back.

" And that must be Squall.... is it, Quisty??" he's eyes grow bigger than ever, he turned back

and smiled rather unnaturally. She smiled back to him, self-possessed.

' how can you smile at me like nothing has happened to us before?' he thought..

' well.... you smiled at me first. don't you think that's more strange than what I did to you?' her voice appeared in his

vague mind. And made him shocked.

" uh... guys??" said Quistis. " huh?" she turned back to Quistis..

" Aren't you going to go in??" said Squall. " oh... yeah.. let's go in ." said Rinoa and Quistis.

They set at the tea table near by the window. And started to glare at each other... Quistis

founded out that Rinoa has changed in few years. The way her hairs style, nose pierced and

there was a ring in her fourth finger.

" what a minute... Do I see a ring ? " said Quistis and started to glare at Rinoa's fourth finger.

" yeah.. it is.. actually, I'm engaged ..." touching her ring with her eyes fixed on that.

' what!!' squall shouted in his mind.. He was rather shocked by that. The memories came

back ,to his vague mind. The day he and Rinoa broked up, the day where they first met, the

ring he gave her on her birthday……. Short memories had passed by in few minutes.

" oh… your engaged?! Oh my god!!! Rinoa!!" cried Quistis with happiness in her face.

"huh?? With who?" asked Squall with a bit abrupt look on Rinoa and Quistis.

" uh… Squall… where an Earth have you been?? Were you day-dreaming??" said Quistis,

looking at him like a dork……. The conversation had stopped .

" Squall, I think you've over worked... Go to your room and have a rest for a while. " said Quistis.

" yeah... you look tried, go...... And have a rest, I'll meet you in dinner time." said Rinoa , as sweet as she have done to him

before. Squall went up to his room as quick as possible and regarding himself happy, in order to not be upset about it.

He lay down in his bad. All of a sudden there's a feeling which is indiscribeable than ever. He was lying to himself that he

don't regret for being like this. Also he felt sorry and happy for Rinoa. He knew that he can't protect her no longer, and

he had to bear the invisible pain he have in his secret and myterious mind. All he had to do from now on is to live Rinoa and

her fiance. But he had this feeling that he should n
