Sons & Daughters

Promises

Day by day change. We both grew up together. Become a friend who is never separated. Although we are often mocked but everything feels fine, because it is with you. Your beautiful smile I always remember.

When we stepped on the Junior High School bench, I saw you talking to someone suspicious.

"Who are you? Sorry I don't know" said the Princess

"It's me, don't you remember me anymore" the man unmasked his face

"No, don't bother me anymore you freak"

"But.." the man pulled the Princess's arm firmly.

"Stop, you're nothing!" I got out of the place where I was stalking them both

"Son" said the Princess

"Please let me talk to him for a moment" that person still forced the Princess

I parried his hand and said firmly "You're daring to look for trouble with me huh, if you still dare to disturb Princess, just look I'll make a calculation with you"

"Ugh" the guy went to fuck us both

You freak. I turned my body towards the Princess.

"It's okay Princess" I said. The princess then immediately hugged me in fear

"Huaa. You know that freak has been following me for almost a week. At first I ignored it and thought it was nothing. But the longer it becomes clearer. She did follow me" The princess hugged me tightly

"Why are you just now saying the same to me? If you know we can go home together right" I said as I rubbed the Princess's face with my hands

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I am so afraid of the Son" said the Princess

I tightened my arms. Tiny, you are so tiny Princess. A sense of worry arose in my heart. Afraid that one day you will experience the same thing and I will not be there beside you. That's why I intend. If we both grow up later, allow me to protect you as hard as I can.

Time seems to pass very quickly, I don't think now we have stepped on the 3rd grade Junior High. The day I spent with you made me realize. My feelings grew, becoming a new feeling. Maybe this is what people often say as falling in love.

Until the day that shakes me. Dad called me to the front porch to talk.

"What's dad?" askaku while carrying a jar filled with salted beans from the kitchen

"Sit here for a minute Son, I want to talk" asked Dad

"Son, the day after tomorrow we're going to America on business. It looks like it's going to be a long time, so we're going to move out and sell this house" Father's words left me dumbfounded in shock

"Why is it so sudden dad?" much

"It's a very important affair, and it could change our fate. By working with the company there, I'm sure our business will grow" I'm very excited to talk about this

"But dad do I have to go too?"

"Son, you're the only one I have. I can't let you be alone here" said Dad

"All right, father" I said

Dad and I cleaned up our stuff. Without me knowing, it turns out that my father has prepared everything, including my preparation to change schools. As I was tidying up my things, a photo fell off of the book. It was a picture of me and the Princess the first time we went to the amusement park. I immediately picked it up and sent a message to the Princess.

***h 4 later please go to the guava tree in the field**. I wait*

I waited for the Princess 30 minutes earlier. Trying to think of farewell words for her.

"Son" the voice of a girl from a distance resuscitated my daydream

"What suddenly called me here? is there anything important?" ask Princess. This tree is my precious memory with you, so I want to reveal something important to you here.

"I'll be far away in a moment, across oceans and continents. I don't know when we can meet again" I said

At that moment I revealed everything. About the plan to move me, whether when I return, the Princess looks upset and sad.

"You're a bitch, you son of a bitch. Why are you just saying now" said the Princess while beating my chest

I took a picture and handed it to him. Behind the photo is a letter

I like you, will you wait for me to return

A moment after the Princess read it she said "Yes of course".

That's how I express my love for you.

The years I've spent without you feel empty. This feeling of longing makes me feel unable to bear. When I knew a woman who had the same personality as you, I darkened my eyes and broke our promise. Then finally after I finish my college I can go back. But you choose someone else. I think it's only natural. It's my fault for betraying you. Even though my heart feels broken to pieces because of you I'm fine. As long as you are happy.
