A day in the Royal Garden

Is a beautiful day and Ashori went to look for Chezem again.

Knock knock…

"Who is it?"

"Is me, Ashori."

"Oh, you came again today, Ashori?"

Chezem stopped at what he was doing and went to open the door for Ashori. Chezem opened the door and now Ashori and Chezem are looking at each other face to face.

Chezem came and open the door for me. Is usually me who opens it myself. I guess he trust me a bit now. Ashori thought while feeling happy.

"Good morning, Chezem."

"Good morning, Ashori."

"Is a beautiful day today, how about we go and spent our time at the royal garden?"

"What a lovely idea. Let's go."

Ashori and Chezem both spent their time at the royal garden and shared each interest and talked about all kinds of things.

"The weather is nice today."

"I know, is so breezy."

Suddenly, the scarf that Ashori was wearing flew away with the wind.

"Ah! My scarf!"

Ashori went and chased after her scarf.

"Wait here, Chezem. I'll go get it."

"Alright, be careful."

"I will."

Ashori followed where her scarf flew and it finally stopped and she saw it got caught up on a tree.

"Oh no!"

Without any second thought, Ashori began to climb up to the tree and grabbed her scarf.

"Just a little bit more… Got it! Haha!"

Ashori finally managed to get her scarf.

"And now to get down..."

When Ashori was about to get down, she realised she couldn't.

"How did I get up here so high? How am I going to climb down?"

Ashori didn't know how to get down and was afraid that she might slip and fell.

Meanwhile…

"What's taking Ashori so long, I'll go look for her."

Chezem found Ashori up on the tree.

"Ashori!"

"Chezem!"

Ashori felt relieved seeing Chezem is here now.

"What are you doing on the tree?"

"Err… my scarf got caught on the tree so I climbed up to get it.

"So you got back your scarf?"

"Yes."

"Then why are you still up on the tree?"

"Err…I…"

"Are you stuck?"

"Yes…"

Suddenly Chezem opened both of his arms wide.

"Come, jump, Ashori. I'll catch you."

"Huh…"

"Come on, trust me!"

Without thinking, Ashori released the tree she was holding and jumped down.

Woosh~

Chezem caught Ashori.

"I told you I'll catch you."

Chezem smiled warmly at Ashori and Ashori couldn't help but blushed deeply. Her heart kept on beating faster and faster. Chezem then let Ashori down.

"So, what reward do I get for saving the damsel in distress?"

Chezem laughed while looking at Ashori.

"Um… I…Thank you for saving me."

What…? Just a thanks? I want a kiss as my reward."

What…? A…Ki…Kiss…

Chezem can't stop laughing when he saw Ashori's face turned as red as a tomato.

"Haha! Ashori, I'm just kid…"

Before Chezem could finish his sentence, Ashori gave a peck on Chezem's cheek.

"Th…thank you… Chezem… For saving me…

Ashori said it while facing down. She couldn't bear to look at Chezem's face after for what she did. She then bow lightly and turn and ran to return to the palace. Leaving Chezem standing there, stunt, at what happened.

Then, Chezem face started going redder and redder. Chezem felt weak on his knees and sat down on the grass.

"Geez… Don't surprise me like that, Ashori... I'm afraid…I might not be able to control myself anymore."

Chezem said to himself while putting his hand on his cheek where Ashori kissed him.

I can't believe I did that! I kissed Chezem on the cheek, where did all this courage come from? Ahh! I'm so embarrassed right now that I couldn't walk anymore.

Ashori then leans herself at one of the palace's wall and touched her lips while smiling.

The End.
