Love Swordsman

"I love you"

After a long silence in front of the window, Rubby decided to walk out. He rarely sleeps usually. He always spent the night awake. While sitting on a chair in the courtyard, his feet accidentally touched something. He felt the thing he almost accidentally kicked.

"Stupid girl."

He never thought why Sera forgot to bring his sword that he and Rubby had bought the other day. With bad martial arts and a sword he didn't carry, Rubby worried about the girl. Therefore, he decided to rush over from there and catch up with the girl.

After a little while of searching by relying on his senses, he managed to find Sera. The girl appeared to be lying in the bushes. I don't know what happened to him. Even Rubby was the first to feel his heart racing because of someone else.

He grabbed Sera and placed the girl on her lap. "Why you?" rubby. He knew there was a danger that had just happened to the girl because several times he asked, the girl refused to answer. Never make a sound, move not even a little. Sera was truly like an undead. He just opened his eyes without speaking a word.

With his condition like that, Rubby closed the body of Sera's body that was open. He then removed the girl's body and brought her back to the residence.

Arriving there, he sat Sera in his bed. "Who did this to you?" tanya Rubby touched Sera's cheek. Want to know who actually dared to do it to his student.

Sera only shook her head in response. He still refuses to speak. Rubby refused to force her again. He knew the girl must have been severely traumatized. He chose to leave her alone. While he prepared food for Sera, considering that the girl had not eaten anything until tonight.

Sera spent time pondering and daydreaming in the room. His face was dirty and pale. His appearance was also a mess. But he doesn't care anymore. Treated arbitrarily by bandits he had experienced several times as a child. But he never told anyone. He really has no place to complain. Even the person he trusted considered him a burden and drove him away.

Sera shed tears without expression. He was really tired of this life.

...----------------...

The next morning, Rubby, who has a bad feeling about Sera, decides to break down the door of the girl's room after a night of not wanting her to enter. Even the girl refused the food she brought last night.

He decided to follow his premonition. His legs kicked and immediately looked for Sera in the bed. Justright. The girl wasn't there. He hurried out of the room.

It has been about fifteen minutes Sera down the road is not necessarily the direction. He has decided to leave. Rubby kicked him out, too. He no longer has a place to live.

He stopped in front of a lake. His feet were in the wet grass. He doesn't even wear footwear.

He stared at the surface of the lake with a lake gaze. From childhood, he was always most afraid of water. Because his childhood friends always work on him by pushing him into the lake. Luckily, the neighbor he thought his own father always saved him.

Looking at the surface of the lake, Sera again remembered Rubby's words and all the bad things that happened to her from her were even very small.

"I'm not going to take you. You can go tonight." Rubby's words shattered Sera's imagination. The girl approached her teacher and fell to her knees before Rubby, who was sitting on a chair.

"Teacher kicked me out? teacher won't take me with you?" he asked with a sad face.

Sera shook her head quickly. "Sera from birth was raised only by neighbors who are now gone. Sera has no family but a teacher now." Acutely.

"Whatever the reason, go anywhere to a safe place. Just don't be around me." Urge Rubby.

He blinked his eyes many times, and his gaze again centered on the surface of the lake. With a strong and determined intention, he closed his eyes and threw himself into the lake. Hoping that the lake would wash his body with his mind. Hope the water will take him away from the problems that always bother his mind all this time.

"useful? as long as I teach you martial arts, have you ever been useful to me? even I am always troubled to take care of you. As for you, fighting the disciples of the goddess alone can't."

"*Nobody wants me to*."

Inner Sera with tears that blend with the lake water. The whole water that went into his nose and probably into his stomach and his whole body made him dizzy and nauseous. He's starting to run out of breath. Until his consciousness disappeared. He no longer remembers anything.

Sera opened her eyes slowly. The first sight he saw was Rubby's face. The man put Sera's head in his arms.

Sera tried to smile as much as she could. Although his lips felt stiff. "Rubby. You coming?" he even changed his call to Rubby. He usually calls 'teacher' or 'Mr Rubby'.

Rubby nodded stating that he was really here. "Am I dreaming? I remember drowning in the lake. Why are you here?" sera asked with all her might trying to speak.

"Don't say much." Pinta Rubby's firm. "I don't think you want to see me anymore. I don't think anyone in the world wants me." Sera muttered indifferently to Rubby's orders forbidding him to speak.

"Although I'm leaving, I want to say something before I die. At least I can die without regrets." Sera continued to mutter nonstop. Rubby chose to listen because he knew the girl was going to say something important.

"I'm not strong talking. You can come closer, right?" pinta Sera's. Rubby nodded and brought his ears closer to Sera's lips to hear clearly what the girl was about to say.

Sera smiled knot. He peeped Rubby's cheek fast. This was the greatest courage he had ever done to that man. He smiled happily because he managed to trick Rubby to bring the man's face closer. In fact, he wanted to make it easier to be able to kiss the man's cheek. While Rubby looked not so surprised by the sudden kiss.

"I love you." Sera said revealing her heart. He was relieved to be able to express his feelings before dying.

Sera touched Rubby's cheek gently. "I love you so much." Say it again. Rubby nodded in response.

Sera is happy to finally have the moment and the opportunity to express her love to the man who became her first love, even in moments she did not expect. But at least he could die without regret.

Slowly, his smile faded. Eyes closed. The hand that was still on Rubby's cheek slowly fell down. But Rubby held Sera's hand and put the girl's hand back on her cheek. He refused to let the girl's hand fall to the ground.
