" Tomoyo..!" a familiar voice called out from behind.

Startled she turned her head and all she saw and conquered her sight are the color of the sky. Her eyes continued to shed tears.

Blue. Ao.

' If this is a dream I would never want to wake up again..!' she thought as the figure in front her moved towards her. She stared at him; she wanted her eyes to look at him. Wishing and hoping that this dream would never end.

" Tomoyo.." once again he called out softly more gentle than before. He was now closer to her, facing her with his most gentle stares.

" E..Eriol.." she said almost like a whisper. She gazes at him from head to toe, almost like she was still not convinced by the presence of this young man.

" Hisashiburi.." he said while he gently wipe away the tears on her cheeks. She just stood there, looking at the hand on her cheeks feeling the gentleness with his fingers.

" It has been a long time, I was hoping that I will see you again now that I'm here in Tomoeda." He paused while he continues to wipe her pinkish cheeks.

" But it seems that our meeting was a bit in a bad timing. Are you feeling well? Is something wrong? What happened..?" he continued to ask as he stared at her, his eyes and voice filled with worry for the lady in his sight.

" I'm fine.. It seems that the wind somehow made my eyes shed tears.." she replied as she slowly shifted her gaze to her side wanting to hide her face from him.

She felt a bit of happiness from her heart. Seeing him now made her feel different, her sadness faded unconsciously. She composed herself not wanting the young man in front him to notice the immediate difference from her.

Slowly she urges herself to face him once again. She wanted to look at him once more. She had missed him so much.

She pinned her eyes to his.

' He has changed physically, he looks much mature now than before but still his gentleness flows. His cerulean and beautiful eyes hidden in his glasses, his nose, his pink cheeks and his soft lips.. He is still him, the man that I missed to see for over five years..' she thought as she little by little realized how much she missed him in those past years.

A sudden warm and gentle wind blew. His fragrance conquered her senses.

' His scent is the same as ever.. ' she thought as a sudden sensation inside her starts to develop.

Seeing him made her miss him more.

He suddenly sighed in relief.

" Yukata.. I was so worried that something had happened.." he said with ease from his voice. He was so worried about her. He saw a bench nearby and courtly he escorted her to sit. She nods in approval.

She sat there silently waiting for him. Eriol insisted to get her something to drink; he goes to a nearest vending machine.

She still can't believe about the moment that came to her. She suddenly blushed when she recall her embarrassing appearance in front him.

' Tomoyo, you must composed your self…' she said to her self while she grabs a pocket mirror from her bag.

She saw her reflection from the mirror. Her eyes were a bit swollen from crying. And suddenly she saw Eriol return, in his hands 2 cans of tea from the vending machine.

He sat beside her. He opens one of the cans and gently hand in over to her.

She smiles.

" Arigatou.." she said and gently grabs it from his hands. Slowly she sips and silently swallows the liquid to her mouth.

' It taste different..' she thought as she slowly looks at him.

It was just an ordinary drink that usually she buys. But now it made her realized a sudden difference from its taste.

No, it was not the drink itself. It was her. She was the one who is different from before.

She pinned once again her gaze to him.

It was because of this young man that made her feel the sensations inside her.

Happiness. Contentment.

Just being with him made her feel satisfied with her life.

Silence filled the air. The wind continues to blow. The leaves dance with it.

It was such good scenery in her eyes. And with his presence by her side made it more appealing for her to watch.

Moments later he speaks.

" Syaoran told me that you and Sakura are both co-owning a cake shop.." he said staring at her.

" Hai..!" she replied returning his gaze from her. Feeling a bit awkward from him.

" Knowing you, Baking such delicacies are your specialty.. I remember the time you baked a delicious strawberry fruit cake for our 1st wedding anniversary, it was the best cake I have ever tasted. Just thinking about it makes me feel famish.." he replied enthusiastically. He was surely happy recalling the past moments with her.

She smiled. She felt happiness.

It was the first time from those five years that she recalled happy moments with him.

He saw her smiling towards him, he felt contented inside. He missed those small talks they both usually had in the past five years.

The same with her it was his first smile. No fake smiles anymore, he can't pretend from her.

Right now at this very moment with her his true nature began to come out from his system, a true and genuine happiness.

Thus seeing her made him act like that? No, being with her made him self revert back to his self, his true hidden self.

While talking to her he began to gently scan the presence of the beautiful lady from his sight.

' Still the same, a bit mature but still her innocence had remain in her face.. Her silky black mane, her sincere and beautiful amethyst eyes, those eyes that would always show concern whenever you are stared at, and her soft warm and pink lips that I have been longing to kiss over the past years..' he thought with so much adoration from the presence of his 'angel'.

Thinking about her furthermore made him feel lonely. It made him miss her more than before.

Everything about her he truly loved and adored. No word could express how much he was waiting for this day. And now that it finally came there is no turning back, He must do something to make it last not just now but forever.

Forever. That was the word that is playing in Eriol's mind now. He must make this last forever, for his happiness.

" Eriol, How are you now?" She suddenly inquired.

She likes talking to him and now she would like to start a conversation with him. To even a bit of those five years with no conversation would fade away.

" A bibliophile like before. Books had been my companion and my only life in those five years. I can't live without them." He replied while a short laugh came out from him.

It made her laugh as well. Both are evidently at ease with each other.

" What about you..? Aside from the cake shop what are the things you are busy at?" he asked while he comfortably sit his back from the bench.

" Me, nothing complicated I guess. Aside from baking and cooking, all my free time is occupied by painting and reading." She paused as she saw him comfortably listening to each and every word she says. She smiled.

" I am now fascinated with children's books, Sakura was the one who introduce it to me. It was because of Nadeshiko-chan, their daughter." she replied with enthusiasm with every word.

" Well that is very nice to hear coming from you. I was also fascinated with children now, I suppose." He said.

" Really.. that's nice." She replied.

" I forgot to mention, but I'm teaching kids at school now. At Tomoeda elementary, I saw Sakura's daughter there, I believe she belongs to my class as well. I'm teaching history." He said with confidence in him looking at her.

From there he saw her, a bit shocked with his sudden statement. He smiled.

" Hontou..? That is very nice to hear. I remember you telling me that teaching kids at school has been one of your dreams. It will suit you very well. I am glad that it did came true.. I'm happy for you.." she answered with overflowing happiness with her last words.

Suddenly Eriol looks at his watch.

6:00 p.m.

' It is this late already..' he thought and a sudden idea came to him.

" Ano.. Tomoyo, are you free right now? Would you prefer.. coming with me for a cup of tea.. at my house? If that is okay with you?" he asked with hope and anticipation in him.

" Ano.. actually.." she replied when she recall that she was at that moment had to do something important.

Suddenly her phone rings.

She hurriedly grabs it inside her bag.

Onscreen. 'Hahaue' (Mother)

' Hahaue is calling.. Oh no, I completely forgot about her..' she thought as she answered her phone.

" Hahaue..! I'm sorry I forgot about it. Don't worry I'll be on my way now." She answered with a bit of anxiety on her words.

On the other line. At the Daidouji residence.

" Tomoyo-chan, gomen nasai.. My guest won't be arriving now. They've cancelled it for another meeting. I'm truly sorry to bother your precious time, I know that you are busy right now.." Sonomi Daidouji answered.

Tomoyo felt happy about it. It seems like fate does its magic right at this moment

" Don't worry, It's okay. Just call me anytime you need me, Hahaue" Tomoyo answered as she slowly presses the cancel button on her phone.

She slowly returns her phone to her bag.

She slowly gazes at the young man beside her.

He was listening to her. Silently looks at her with his beautiful blue eyes.

" I guess.. Drinking tea right now would probably the only option for me to do.." she said slowly looking at him wanting to see his reaction.

Slowly he stood up, gently offered his hand to her to stand up.

She grabs it. Slowly she entangles her hand to his.

And from then, they continue their conversation while walking the path directing towards Eriol's mansion.

Happiness evident from their faces. This was a moment to be cherished for the both of them.

That was the moment they have been waiting for. It was the moment which was a gift of fate.

Owari!
