Heri' Point of View.
We went down the stall going to one after another. With a jar of canned wild apple and olive in my hand, I keep on eating one at a time while also walking around.
Galen: You really seems to like this type of food.
I nod in agreement.
Heri: I have told you before haven't I? I love every kind of food.
He chuckled as I said that.
Galen: Well that indeed is true.
With that he lead me to the small meadow like place which is a small cliff in itself. We seat down by the grass our feet hanging, a cherry tree in its full blossom by our side while the moon shine beautifully in its full form. Bright, graceful and just stunningly beautiful.
Heri: The moment is just perfect.
Galen nod, sighing in contentment.
Galen: It's like all the things surrounding us are on our side and is busy rooting for us.
I chuckled at his words, but it is true. Evrything is so perfect, so calm and so beautiful at the moment that it really feel like everything is on our side.
Galen: Thank you Heri.
I looked at him a bit confused, what is he talking about?
Looking at my confused state he explained.
Galen : You know everyone love this time of the year and is all very glad and excited for this festival. All the work done for a bit, all the harvest taken in, it's a time to count our blessing and be contended and be at ease. Joyful.
I nod, the time really do signify as such mainly to farmers which their are many in Iklu.
Galen: But every year, I feel the most lonely during this time of the year. All the people are happy and are busy celebrating, but it seems to me that I have nothing to be happy about or no one to celebrate with. And that make me depressed every year.
I slowly wrap my arm around him while my other hand holding his hand as tight as I can, showing as much comfort I can show with my actions.
Galen: But this year, I finally find out why people are so happy to celebrate this festival. I finally feel the love and warm it feel when all of the family come together and happily celebrate something. So, thank you so being so generous. For sharing the love of your parents and sibling with me, for giving me the love that I can never dream of having and for letting be a part of your family.
I smile as he said that, my stomach filled with all the love and care I can have for him. It fluttered happily by itself.
Heri: Why do I feel like you fell in love with my family and not me?
And I look at him suspiciously while he chuckled at my expression.
Galen: Well you might not be all at fault.
And he look at me in a rather uncomfortable expression.
While I look at him completely shock and terrified.
Heri: Wait! You feel in love with my mom!!!
I looked at him completely freaked out and move a bit away from him while he looked at me in complete disbeleive and horror.
Galen: NO!!!!
I open my mouth wider and more scared.
Heri: Vann? Not him right?
Galen: No! what is the matter with you?
He looked really scared at my screen expression at this point.
I swallowed in deeply and sigh to myself while with a solemn expression saying.
Heri: So dad it is.
Galen stood up completely terrified by my serious expressions and the way I said it while I tried my best to keep in my laughter.
Galen: We are still joking around right?
He said it so doubtfully that I can't help it but burst out into fit if laughter. I literally roll on the ground laughing at his horro written expression.
While he look at me totally unimpressed.
Galen: It is not funny, for a moment there, I somehow unrealistically just freak out.
That make me laugh more and I start to roll again.
He look at me with a cute glare, but nonetheless kneel down and hold me lightly towards my back so that I won't even by accident fell down.
This little action is really what make me fell in love again and again. The care he show with these subtle action seems to be what excite me the most.
Galen: You know what, you look really beautiful when you laugh like this. It's blinding how beautiful you look.
I freeze as he said that, how can he said all this at such a perfect time. My laughter died down as I deeply stare at his eye which is filled with nothing but love and adoration for me.
And maybe it was his deep beautiful red eyes which make me spellbound or it was his sweet words, but nonetheless the moment just make me realise that for him to smile at me like he is doing right now, I knew I will give up everything for it.
I get up a bit, circled my arms around his neck and get a lot closer to him. Our breath mingling with each other, our face almost touching.
Heri(whisper softly): I knew there was something missing foe us to call this moment a perfect one.
And with that my lips touch his while he hold me to him as close as he possibly can. Our lips moving in sync, buried in our passion. We move softly and slowly seemingly showing all the care and love we have for each other.
The moment feel magical to me, the butterflies in my stomach seems to be providing the needed music with all its banging while our heart beat, beating at the same time with such passion that I fear it might burst with all the overwhelming pleasure.
Out of breath we move away from each other, while he hug me tightly.
Galen: And not this is perfect.
I smile as I hug him back.
Heri: Happy Mangkhap Galen, this year's our harvest will be our love. Lets make sure to nurture it beautifully the next year as well.
Galen: Happy mangkhap Heri, looking forwards to the next year.
