The sun was slowly sinking below the horizon, painting the sky with brilliant shades of orange, crimson, and gold. Gentle waves rolled onto the shore as a boy and a girl ran barefoot along the beach, their laughter blending with the soothing sound of the sea. They chased one another through the sand, smiling as though time itself had forgotten to move.Though they were young, they dreamed fearlessly of the future. Sitting side by side, they watched the sunset in comfortable silence before talking about the days that lay ahead."I'll come back for you," the boy whispered. "After I graduate from college."His parents had decided to send him overseas to continue his studies. To them, it was the best path for their son. But there was another reason hidden beneath their decision—they strongly disapproved of his relationship with the girl."She's nothing but a gold digger," his mother had once said coldly. "You're still young, and nothing good will come from staying close to that poor, pathetic girl."Those words pierced his heart. He knew she had never cared about wealth. She was kind, genuine, and the person who understood him the most. But his parents had given him an impossible choice. If he refused to leave, they threatened to make the girl's life miserable.With no way to protect her except by obeying, he chose to leave.As the last rays of sunlight disappeared beyond the sea, the boy gently rested his forehead against hers."I promise you," he said softly, his voice trembling. "No matter how long it takes, I'll come back."The girl forced a smile, though tears streamed down her cheeks. Her heart ached, but she nodded."I'll wait for you."The wind carried away their final words as the waves continued to kiss the shore. Under the fading light of the setting sun, they said goodbye—holding tightly to a promise they hoped time would never break.
