Chapter 933 A Touching Talk

-----

As we talked about the dangers we faced, we ate the meat that had already been grilled. The salt had added a unique flavor to it, a bit sweet and also slightly spicy.

It gave it a very amazing flavor, and with the juiciness of the meat, each bite was enjoyable... I really needed a break, overworking myself making those items and then fighting made me feel slightly exhausted in the soul.

Being surrounded my family and friends makes me happy though, even when we go through arduous trials, I have them all at my side...

I just need to find my brother and then things will finally be fine... I think I might truly be happy by then. I hope he's alive.

Don't worry, we'll get there soon enough, please, wait for us.

...

"Maria? Are you alright? You look quite gloomy."

Jonathan interrupted my thoughts. Usually he wouldn't talk to me directly, but he had become bolder now.

Which is good, I dislike he had been so shy around me, mostly because our relationship has become slightly awkward after all these tragedies...

There are so many things I want to talk in more detail with him, but there's either no time, or I just can't muster the strength.

"I'm fine. I was just thinking about my brother." I sighed. "I hope he's alive... I really hope so."

"Your brother..." Jonathan said. "I do remember a bit of him. He was a strong rascal, goodhearted. He used to admire me, and always said he wanted to be a hero like me, hahah."

"Is that so?" I smiled. "Since I met you that I've begun to regain my memories more in detail... I do remember a bit of him. Of his cute smile, of him always running to my side and spreading his arms. And... of how much he admired you, yeah."

"Jonathan..." I felt touched by his words.

"You've never truly changed, you're still there..." Jonathan smiled. "I'm the only one that thought otherwise... I was being foolish, I'm sorry."

"Enough with your apologies!" I giggled, hugging him. "I MIGHT still lack some memories but, I also know you a lot, you know? I know that my Jonathan cry for the slightest thing only around me and would open himself only to me as well. You would always tell me your grievances and frustrations, and I would always listen to you. Fate might have separated us back then, but we've fought against it, and we've meet once more."

I held his hand, as he looked into my eyes, filled with so many emotions.

"Maria..." He sighed. "Thank you... I've felt so lonely since you were gone, it felt like my whole soul, my whole being had died alongside you. It feels like, finally, I'm beginning to feel alive."

"Is that so?" I giggled. "I'm glad."

Without realizing it, our faces were growing closer and closer...

"Maria, I love you. I still love you so much. I never stopped loving you..." He sighed. "I pledged I would only love you and nobody else... And I still do. You're... you're my everything."

"Fufu, you're as good with words as ever." I smiled, caressing his face.

Our lips quickly drew closer, as we looked at each other's eyes...

I wanted this to take a bit more time but... I couldn't resist it.

He was my first love in this world, and as these memories resurface, I've remembered how important he was for me too.

Our lips touched, we kissed rather lovingly.

His lips were so warm that they brought comfort to my cold soul.
