Chapter 2: The Lunch
Today, it was particular odd, the park was supposed to be crowded with adults with their children, enjoying the outdoors under the sun, flying kites, laughing and chatting throughout the day. But not today, it was nothing but peace and quiet. The rustling of the trees can be heard, the birds chirping away with their favourite tunes, butterflies and bees soaring through the patches of flowers, and both thought that it was perfect for a good afternoon meal.
They both walked together, holding hands while searching for a good place to settle down and have their lunch. Sakura's hair swayed gently from the wind, step by step walking through the stone paths, "how about there?" Sakura pointed to a shady spot under a tree, whose leaves were all golden brown, falling one by one. "It's a good spot, sure," he agreed and walked over, sitting down. "So, where's the food, Feng-kun?" Sakura sat down next to him, smiling. "F-Food?!" he suddenly realized his has forgotten about it, what's a lunch without food! "You didn't forget about it, did you?" Sakura asked him, with one eyebrow raised. "Forget? I did not forget! Wait here," Feng quickly got up and runs away from the spot, leaving Sakura, questioned.
He ran and ran, and almost crashed into someone, "Woah! Hey! Slow down," that person spoke, stopping him from running. "I'm in a rush! I- Henry?" Feng stopped and look up to his friend, "what are you doing here?", "Just, Nothing I guess? My legs happen to bring me here," The Hungarian man replied, "Why in a rush?" Feng stopped his legs, scratching his head in frustration, "ugh, I forgot to get some food for my lunch with Sakura! Can you help me?" he begged, as if it was the end of the world. "Why not? I brought along some Hot Dogs with me," Henry took out two boxes of fresh ones from his bag, "I just bought it along the street, I thought it might make a good lun-" Before even finishing Feng snatched both and quickly ran back, replying, " Thank you! I'll pay you later!"
"Feng-kun, you alright?" Sakura watched as he runs back to her, "Yeah I'm fine, I was trying to surprise you, and I couldn't find it," He made and excuse and laughed nervously, sitting down. "Here, here's the food," He handed her a box of Hot Dog, which was still hot, to his relief. "Oh Thank you, It's been a while since I have these," Sakura smiled and takes it to eat, "It's delicious! Where did you buy it?". Feng smiled back and replied, "Oh it's just somewhere by the street," "Street where? I want to take my friends there sometimes," Sakura said, swallowing a bite of her food.
"Um.. It's actually at.. uh.." He turned side to side to find something to distract her, because he doesn't even know which stall was it, forgotten to ask Henry, he then looked up, "Hey Look! There are kites flying!" He quickly pointed up the sky, two little kites with matching designs were flying on the sky, one was flying high on top of the other, and the tails gently sway rhythmically, "it's beautiful, they matched perfectly!" Sakura has forgotten about the question, she placed her hands together, smiling and enjoying the sight, while Feng just lay down under the tree, heaving a sigh of relief.
This lunch turned out well after all.
