Reminiscing

It was the time of pre-winter, where the ripe yellowish-leaves fall from the trees so that new leaves can take their place, new branches burst from the trees giving full adolescence to the tree as well as increasing its life and energy.

Ngamba and Leina sat down on the bench, under the banyan tree after their jogging. Leina looked up at sky and slowly closed her eyes to feel the cool breeze.

Ngmba smiled at Leina and said,''Miss Perfect you might get cold at this case. You wanna eat pills?'' Leina had take off her tracksuit jacket so she's only a light t-shirt on.

Leina suddenly opened her eyes and wore her tracksuit jacket when she heard pills.

Leina really hate pills! She always had troubled while eating it and her mom had to use force to let her eat it, since childhood.

And more importantly she rarely get sick so that's the main problem for her to have trouble while eating pills.

Ngamba chuckled on seeing her action. Leina gave him a cold gaze which make Ngamba cover his mouth and looked aside.

''There is least people coming out for morning walk this time. It's gonna be winter soon.'' Leina said as she looked at some people returning from their morning walk.

Ngamba just stared at her then his eyes went to Leina's shoe. Ngamba get on knees to tie the shoelace. Leina was surprised for awhile at his action.

''This is the four times your shoelace came undone, today. Are you a child, still can't tie the shoelace properly.'' Ngamba said as he tied the shoelace

Leina pouted at Ngamba's words and said softly, ''It's her problem. It always came undone if I tied it.''

Ngamba looked up at Leina and said,''Then will you give this young man the honour to tie your shoelace for the rest of your life...?''

Leina was shocked at his words and it seems like he was not joking about it. Then she chuckled and said,''Why does it feels like you're proposing to me?''

Ngamba smiled and said,''I am.''They looked at each other eyes and stayed quiet for awhile.

Then Leina tried to pull up Ngamba when she saw a woman coming. ''Get up first. What are you doing? Others will see us'',she said as she looked at that woman. Luckily the woman went at the other road.

Leina breadth a sigh of relief as Ngamba stood up. She also stood up and said,''What were you thinking? You are crazy indeed.''

Ngamba flicked Leina's forehead and said innocently,''I was serious. So what do you think?''

Leina put her palm at her forehead and said angrily,''Stop the nonsense! I really wanna kill you.''

Ngamba giggled softly. When Leina moved forward he held her hand and said by making puppy face,''It's just only about shoelace...you won't give the answer?''

It's rare to see Ngamba like that and nobody can resist that face. Leina can just sighed and said,''Leave my hand first.'' Ngamba leave her hand instantly and looked at her eagerly just like a four year old kid hoping to get chocolate from his mother.

''It's just only about shoelace. I'll agree if you can catch me.'' She laughed and ran quickly as she said this.

A smiled appeared on Ngamba's face and he looked at Leina and said loudly,''Run if you can from me!''

As he said this he ran after her.

When he was about to catch Leina, he felt something strong holding onto his shoulder.

Then Ngamba came to conscious. He looked around his surrounding.

Salai, Wangthoi, Loya, Thouba, Richard and Bicky were looking at him.

But his eyes couldn't find the person whom his heart had been longing for.....
