Tap... Tap... Tap
The voice of steps echoed, In a corridor. Leon and Sam were walking beside each other. Only the voice of steps could be heard and to break this silence Sam spoke. "Why are we in such a hurry? We have thirty minutes before ..." Leon interrupted. "I know, I just have check something there first, so don't ask questions and follow me."
After few truns they stood before a door, Leon hesitated, he was contemplating whether he should open it or not. But he didn't have to wait for long because Sam took the lead and opened the door. And what he saw put a knowing smile on his face.
"Should I wait outside?" Sam teased in a hushed voice.
"Yes, you should" leon answered. Sam's smile stiffened. "What? Really?" He said.
"Yes, I would appreciate that." Leon replied moved forward to take a seat while in his head he replayed the event that happened yesterday.
After the scene Sam created in their room, he decided that they should explore the market place and game shops. Due to the opening ceremony and influx of students, all the shops in the Market place were opened.
They would visit every shop that sell food or a game shop to play arcade. Sam dragged leon everywhere, it was chaotic to say the least.
On the other hand, Leon was not interested in this because he knew everything about this campus, so it was nothing new to him. But, he was very interested in the new skill he received, after he bullied the bullies. (Not so fair one sided beating)
This skill card gave him five year's worth of experience in investment. He also questioned 'stu' about the difference between the skill and a skill card and the difference was that card can be given to other's to use while skill are directly transferred to his brain. He again questioned stu but.
Suddenly Sam stopped in his track and said. " Leon, I heard a passerby say that outside our campus, there is a temple of lover's. The people around say If you go to the temple and wish for a lover, there is a pretty high chance that you would find a lover before, you could exit the temple."
Leon knew about this temple and he wanted to avoid it, because before mia was diagnosed with a untreatable illness, he and mia used to go there on weekends.
He thought for a second and said. "Okay, let's go."
He accepted because tomorrow in the first lecture he would meet her and he want something to give him courage to confront her.
After Sam got Leon's confirmation he headed towards the exit. They exited the campus hailed a and arrived at the location of the temple.
The temple was built in Japanese style and there were also shops built on the side of the road that goes to the temple. Leon stood there for few seconds and anly after Sam poked him did he walked on the road.
The road was crowded with people. Many of them made a wish to the temple and hoped that their wish would be granted.
They navigated their way to the temple but to Sam's shock there was a line on both side of the temple. Leon knew about this but didn't tell Sam to his reaction and the reaction did not disappoint him. Leon also knew that this was all a gimmick. The temple was created in such a way that the praying booth's were opposite to each other and only separated by a cloth. From time to time the cloth, would fall and both the parties on the booth could see other and if you like the person you see then you could meet them and get to know each other. (It's just blind dating on another level)
They lined up for their chance to come but Sam was very excited and moved further into the line.
Leon's turn came after five minutes of wait. He stood there closed his eyes and when he opened them he saw the only person he wanted to see the most.
His love, his partner, and his wife Mia. He stared at her, he was emotional. He couldn't think straight anymore, he just wanted to go there and kiss her, hug her ask her if she was alright and tell her how much he missed her. She to stared at Leon with a confused look. But suddenly they were called out to get off the temple to meet in a meeting room. (If they like the other person)
In the room Leon and Mia had a same look in their eyes, a of attachment, a look of longing, and look of love.
"Will you marry me?"
"Will you marry me?"
They said at same time and they were shocked because they didn't thought that the other person would say such.
"Do you remember me?"
"Do you remember me?"
They again asked and then, it clicked they ran towards each other and hugged. "I love you Leon." mia said while she cried her eye's out. "I love you too Mia." Leon said with smile. 'i don't want anything now, I have my wife, my parents, and my friend' leon thought but, have can he stop now because he made a pro..
"Arhh" Leon grunted
"Leon! what happened? Are you sick? Are you hurt anywhere?" Mia questioned but Leon couldn't answer.
"We should go to see a doctor." Mia was worried for Leon.
"No need. I have to go, let's meet tomorrow, at our class 30 minutes early." Leon walked towards the door and said.
"But you don't ..."
"I have called Sam, so don't worry." Leon reached the door and turned to see Mia.
"Goodbye love." Leon said and didn't stop for Mia's reation. His headache had gotten worse. He tried to message Sam to send him his location. Just as he was about to pass out he heard Sam's voice which called him.
"Hey, Leon what happened to you?" Sam asked. "Let's go to see a doctor."
With a blurred vision he said. "No, dorms." And he passed out.
