Rustle sounds can be heard inside the room. I slowly opened my eyes and look around the room, as expected it's too blurry. I tried to cover my whole body including my face so that I could sleep properly but NO!

I can still hear the rustle sound around the room. I expected it to stop around 5 minutes or less but I estimated wrong. It's already been 10 or more minutes but the sound is still there. So I had no other choice but to go check on it.

I removed my cover and started to find my eye glasses. Then I heard a female voice saying-

“Please don't use your eye glasse-“

As soon as I put on my eye glasses, I really do regret that I put it on. I shouldn't have done it. I should have listen to her.

It was Tala. She's only wearing a towel to cover her whole body. I can feel my face getting hot so I cover both of my eyes.

“What the hell are you doing ?!” I asked.

“Don't you remember? You told me to use any of your shirt today! ” She explained with a shaky voice.

So that's her reason. She wanted to find a shirt to fits her for our shopping today. But-

“But It's just four in the morning!” I shouted.

-

Once again I slowly opened my eyes but this time everything is quiet. There's no one I can making such noise while I'm having a rest.

I also slowly removes my cover just in case Tala's wearing a towel again but now she isn't there. I put on my eye glasses and stood up and do some stretching.

I started walking toward the living room while rubbing my sleepy eyes.

“Good morning”

As I rub my eyes I slowly realized that Tala is wearing her school uniform and my red apron. She's holding a plate of rice and omelette. I look at her from the bottom until to the top of her head. Tala's golden hair is in pony tail that makes her more adorable.

“Hmm? Why are you looking at me like that? Do I look weird or something? ” Asked Tala then tilted her head.

“Uhm. Nothing ”

I comfortably sit on the chair while looking at her preparing the food that she made. The smell is so nice that I wanted to eat it already. She prepared both of our plates and glass of water. I waited for her to sit before eating our breakfast. We did pray.

I was about to get the rice but Tala immediately stood up and hand me the rice. She even prepared me my omelette, all I need to do now is to eat.

I'm actually surprised how caring she is. I know we've been doing this for a quite awhile now but this my first time realizing that she's indeed a caring girl.

Tala smiled at me then started to eat. I know I said a hundred times but-

Tala is indeed adorable.

-

The sound of my wrist watch is so loud because of how quiet the room is. I'm currently waiting for Tala to get out of my room. She's been inside my room for about twenty minutes now.

I'm wearing a white t-shirt inside my blue polo then a black shorts partnering with a white socks and black shoes. I also did clean my eye glasses so that I can see things clearly.

A creak sound came from my room's door. I was about to say something like-

“Hey do you know what tim-“

But everything went blank because someone unfamiliar is standing in front of me. That girl is wearing a black shoes pairing with her white long socks. Her bottom is also a black skirt and on the top of her is my light blue polo. And it seems like she's also wearing a plain white shirt inside. Lastly, her red ribbon that made her pony tail more adorable.

As my brain done loading. I realized it was Tala in front of me.

“I know you told me to wear shirt but I can't find any. So I decided to use one of your polo if you don't mind ”Tala explained while putting both of her hands at her back.

“No-no it's fine you look beautiful” Said I without even thinking.

I saw her cheeks getting, then I realized mine also did.

“Shall we?” I asked.

Tala didn't answer, she just give me a nod and move out of the apartment. It's a good day to go outside.

-

We arrived at the mall quite late but we made it. There's no need for us to rush anyway so we don't mind it at all.

A lot of people are also doing their own shopping.

There are also a lot of beautiful views inside the mall. Most of them are worth capturing but-

Tala's innocent reaction seeing the outside world aside from our school is just priceless.

She's like a child looking at different toys inside a toy stores.

It's been a while since I go shopping because I've never usually leave my apartment since I don't have any reason to. It is quite relief that I did go out with her.

“So where do go first?” Tala asked cheerfully.

“How about there?” Said I while pointing a clothing store. She did agree and we started walking. Some of the people walking are looking at her. I can hear some of them whispering-

“She's so beautiful don't you think?”

“Yes. I do agree ”

But it seems like Tala's mind is out of the universe. Her smile is wide like nobody can stop her smiling.

Then I remembered something

“Yeah uhm. Do you mind if I ask something? ” I asked.

“Hmm? Sure! ”

“About the cafeteria. What happened after I blackout? ” I feel embarrassed asking but I'm curious.

Tala grab her chin like a detective and stops for a moment. She did look at the sky like she's really thinking deeply.

“Aha! I remember! After you blackout. Someone came running and punch the hell out of Rafael ”

I was surprised that someone else can beat the hell out of Rafael's ass.

“She punched every single one of them with a single punch!” Tala said while demonstrating how our savior punches.

Wait.

“She?” I asked.

“YEAH! A girl went running and saves us! I was surprised actually because she's smaller than us but she's pretty strong! ” Tala explained.

I was silence for a second then we already started walking again.

“Don't you know her name?”

“Nope! All I know is that she's pretty and cool. So yep! She's pretty cool! Hehe ”Said Tala with her admiring eyes. Sparkling.

I sighed. I hope to know that woman so that I can thank her.

Then. We arrived. We explore the whole mall to find her some clothes. At first she's very shy picking her own clothes until Tala felt comfortable. And now! I'm holding every she bought. I did also bought something. A new book.

Surprisingly my budget is good! No regrets, I did have fun spending my day with her.

“Shall we eat?” I suggested.

“Is that okay? It's quite late now. Are you sure you're not tired yet? ”

“Nope! Let's go ”

I did seek for some vendors offering ice cream.

“Is it good?” She asked.

Of course. Tala never experienced ice cream before. This will be her first time tasting ice cream.

“It's perfect” I offered then gave her the strawberry Ice cream I bought.

“You'll love it” I continued.

She slowly hold the ice cream and started licking it. With her first taste her eyes began to sparkle once again. She did look at me happily.

“IT'S SO TASTY! YUMMMYYY! ”

She even jump repeatedly.

“Your girlfriend looks so happy” said by the guy who's selling the Ice cream.

“Yeah. She is- wait! She's not my girlfriend ”

“You already said it yourself. There's no turning back now ”said the guy then smiled.

I just sighed and once again looks at her. Tala looks so very happy today. I hope I can see her smile more often.

And once again. There's a strange feeling through my chest.

-

“HMMM!” said Tala after dropping herself through the sofa.

I put down every bags with her clothes down and look at her. Tala immediately sits and give me back my look.

“Thank you for today Liam! I really did enjoy! ” Tala said with her wide smile.

“I'm glad that you did enjoy” I replied.

Then there's a sudden silence.

“Uhm. Liam. Aren't you troubled? ”

I tilted my head.

“Eh?”

“Well technically you're not leaving with someone like you. I'm not like you or anyone here ”Tala said with her head down.

I slowly walk toward her hold Tala's chin. I made her chin up so that she would look at me the way I look at her.

“Always remember that I've never see you differently. All I see is a beautiful adorable woman ”

Then. Tala's face became red and I realized that I said something embarrassing. Oh no! I can't take it back!

“Uhm. Uhm ”she said panicky. I remove my hand through her chin and steps back for a few steps.

“I-Im sorry” I apologize.

“Uhm- it's fine!” Tala said while she's trying to hide her face.

Silence.

“Imma go for a shower” Said I

Geez. What a day.
