"Ehemm.."
I turn back. It's him.
"Marya," he calls. "I must go in a few minutes later." His words are killing me. What? Why must now?
"Can't you stay here?"
"No, I can't." He lowers his head. I prevent my tears from dropping.
"How long?"
"It's a long time. But we.." I quickly hug him. Tears are drowning my face. I can't stand it anymore.
"Where will you go? Can I follow you? Or..can't you stay here? Don't say no, please..." I cry and cry, knowing that he will go from my life. He gently rubs my back.
" Marya, I want you to hear this." He looks deeply into my eyes. " We will meet again soon."
" Meet again?"
"Yes, but it will take a long, long time. You have to be patient."
" I.. I'll wait on you. I'll wait, even if it's a decade or a century.." I looked desperate but you know, my feeling just can't let him go.
"But.. you have to take care of your family. You must love Dad, Mom and Joshua. Promise me?" He shows his little finger.
"Yes, I promise." We make a pinkie promise.
"Don't cry anymore. I hate to see you cry. You look so ... ugly!" He then pinch my cheeks. I smile and laugh. He's like my brother, father and.. my love. I love him so much.
Suddenly my eyes catch something. The instant photo machine.
" Let's go!" I grab his hand. He looks confused.
"Where?"
"There!" I point across the road.
"There?"
