Remember Me, Baby.
Thank you guys

Keiko smiled with satisfaction after writing her lantern. His hand carving looks so beautiful. When the lantern was lit, the black ink looked graceful as well as elegantly exposed to the golden lantern light.

Andrew looked up and asked, “What did you write?”

“Show yours first,” reply Keiko while raising her eyebrows.

“Hm .. I ask the gods to bring us together again in the next life,” Andrew said as he turned the lantern and showed it to Keiko.

“What if I don't want to see you again?” tease Keiko with eyes glittering jokes.

Andrew growling. Highlight his eyes fiery and full of earnestness as he replied, “I will shake the residence of the gods, make a roar there and force them to drag you before me.”

Keiko was blown away until her tears almost dripped.

“You are barbaric once. I don't know if I should be happy or afraid to hear it,” the girl said after her laughter subsided.

Andrew showed an indifferent face. He meant what he said earlier. Fighting with the gods to get her lover is better than having to be tormented for being separated from the girl.

“Until any time, you can only be mine. In this life or in the future." Andrew clasped Keiko's hand and looked at her with determination. "Remember this well, Baby .. All you need to do is wait. Wherever you are, I will find you. Okay?”

Keiko smiled sweetly and replied obediently, “Oke.”

“Smart girl. Now show me, what are you writing?”

Keiko turned the lantern around and showed it to Andrew while saying, “I thank you for being reunited with you. I hope, we can continue together until death do us part.”

You read the carvings in the lanterns carefully, permeating word for word written there. Slowly a foolish smile rose on his face. His eyes lit up like a boy who had just obtained a gift.

“You mean it?” asked the man without letting go of his gaze from the lantern.

“Of course,” replied Keiko confidently, “Meeting you is one of the good lucks of my life. Until any time, I do not want to part with you, unless you no longer want me.”

Andrew grabbed Keiko by the waist and pulled her closer. Before the girl could react, she had landed a kiss on her cheek.

“I couldn't possibly not want you. In this world, just having you is more than enough. I don't want anything else,” said the man with a solemn expression on his face.

Keiko smiled broadly. His round eyes reflected the face of Andrew who was very close to him. Without hesitation the girl grabbed Andrew's chin and kissed the corner of his lips at a glance.

“Your mouth is very sweet, it tastes like honey,” said Keiko as she chuckled softly.

Andrew was stunned for a moment before reaching out and rubbing his lips that he had just kissed. The man smiled helplessly and pulled Keiko's hand towards the field. Such a long time could make him unable to concentrate.

“Come, soon the event will start. You definitely don't want to run out of places, do you?”

“Hum.” Keiko muttered and followed Andrew's steps towards the crowd.

The dancers are ready in their positions. Beautiful lanterns line the streets. Some were hung on tree branches, adding to the vibrant atmosphere. People pass by joyfully, talking and joking with their respective partners.

“Stay behind me,” Andrew said as he held Keiko's hand tightly. He continued to step slowly, breaking through the sea of humans who also wanted to watch dance performances.

Fortunately, they managed to find a place on the front. Andrew wrapped his hands around Keiko's waist and pulled the girl's body closer to her.

“Do not get separated. This place is very spacious, it will be difficult to find someone in a place that is so crowded.”

“Good, My dear,” replied Keiko.

“After from here, we will go to the Kikuchi river to release the lantern.”

“You said it earlier.”

“Just remind.”

“Oke.”

“Cannot release my hand, later you get lost.”

Keiko sighed and replied, “Oke.”

“Au—“

“Sst, the dance is about to begin,” by Keiko. He looked seriously ahead.

“They are so beautiful,” praise Keiko, do not take his eyes off the dancers who move gurgling in front there.

“You're prettier,” whispered Andrew in Keiko's ear.

Keiko reached out and pinched Andrew's arm without turning her head, making the man complain and grimace in pain.

“My girlfriend is so fierce,” complained Andrew while wiping the marks pinch on his arm, “I ‘kan only reveal—“

“Ssst .. You are so noisy,” grumbled Keiko while facing Andrew and placed her index finger on Andrew's lips, “I can't watch quietly. You shut up for a minute.”

“Um!” Andrew nodded obediently.

“Good.” Keiko smiled satisfiedly and looked back to the front.

Andrew took a deep breath. He is now focusing his eyes forward. To be honest, he had only come to the lantern festival this time. Everything is pretty interesting. Moreover, Keiko seemed to be enjoying it very much, making her not feel regret for having decided to come here.

When the dance is over, Andrew immediately invites Keiko to go to the Kikuchi river. They walked with a group of people who were also going there.

“Oh, Andrew .. The dance was really very beautiful. I like it so much,” Keiko said with happy sparkling eyes.

“Next year we can come here again and watch it.”

“Really?” ask Keiko expectantly.

“Of course,” Andrew replied in earnest, “I told you before, you can come back here whenever you want. At the time of cherry blossoms bloom, winter, or even just because you want to eat sauteed abalone and lobster, I will escort you here with pleasure.”

Keiko chuckled until her eyes narrowed. He waved his hand at Andrew and said, “Don't spoil me too much, I'll have a big head.”

“It's okay, I'm willing to be bullied by you,” replied Andrew while putting on a face of bleakness, making Keiko's laughter wider and tighter.

“Your mouth is really very sweet, Mr.Roux,” the girl said in between her laughter.

“Indeed. Didn't you feel it?”

“Hum. It is very sweet.”

Suddenly Andrew's footsteps stopped. The man pulled out his phone and read the incoming message.

“What's up?” ask Keiko who stopped next to Andrew. Did the man suddenly get another secret assignment? But, hasn't he resigned yet?

“Andrew?” call him again when Andrew just fell silent and looked at his phone very seriously, “What's wrong? Don't scare me.”

“Author just sent a message, he said we managed to rise to the level of 7.” Andrew replied with a big smile.

“Really?” exclaiming Keiko. He almost jumped because he was so happy.

“True. We made it, Baby .. I'm so happy!”

“Then, we must thank the readers who always encourage the author!” said Keiko while shaking Andrew's shoulder, “Without their support, the author must have given up since last month.”

“That's right, dear. Later I will make cookies for them as a form of thank you.“ Andrew turned his head and smiled sweetly at those who were reading this article, “Thank you to all of you, thank you for your support, comments, likes, and votes ... me and Keiko really appreciate it, especially the author .. It seems that now he is crying because he is moved. Don't be tired to encourage us, yes!”

“Yeay! Thank you to all the cool and kind readers! You guys are awesome!” added Keiko while waving at the reader who may now be smiling widely.

He really hopes this condition will last for the next.
