nThe night soon came with the bonfire ready.

nThe food was prepared with the help of the fire itself, which was under the care of Charles and Ellen.

nHannah and Jennifer were enjoying the time, which they never felt ever in their lifetime. Sitting on the ground with everyone around was a fruitful time.

nAt the same time, Ryan brought his guitar from the car when Javier asked him,

"Alright! Since we all are here in this beautiful landscape and it is the night... Ryan? A song is must be needed.

"

n

"True! Ryan's skills can never be matched!

" Ellen commented while preparing the food on the barbeque with a smile on his face.

nThe comment made Ryan blush slightly when he shook his head.

"Not.. that good..

"

n

"Oh c'mon!

" Charles slapped Ryan's back in a joking manner to make him realize,

"I still remember when we went on a trip when we all were young. Oh God.. that time, you played such a brilliant song! The mood was playful but you still made it romantic!

"

nThe words were said in a playful manner yet seemed to make both Ryan and Amaria froze at their place.

nTheir eyes were wide at the realization and reminiscing about the time.

nThe last past was beautiful, which they shared which held some fantastic memories.. but the present is a bitter truth which they are facing.

nSubconsciously, Ryan's eyes traveled in Amaira's direction without anyone knowing. The eye look was a simple gaze but carried thousands of emotions.

nAt the same time, Amaira who glanced in Ryan's direction can feel her heart beating at a steady rate. 'That tune… How can I say to everyone that he played that specific romantic tune for me…'

nThe thought was breaking her heart into pieces. Just a mere memory was enough to make her feel a tinge of emotions, already filled with guilt.

nThe light on their faces due to the bonfire was enough to make them see each other's clear-cut expressions.

n'She.. must he recalling them..' with this thought, Ryan finally met his attention towards the ground to see things.

nJennifer, who was resting in Javier's embrace seems shocked and delighted to hear about the song too.

"Yes! I Want to hear a song!

"

n

"Me too! Please, Ryan! Bless us with your music!'

"

nRounds of applause and requests finally made Ryan change his mood to sing a song.

nBut before that, he switched his phone on to check the gallery, seeing a specific picture which he hid well from other's eyes. Yet, it didn't go unnoticed by any.

nWitnessing the same, Hannah can't help but tease the child,

"Hmm... So our romantic singer will first see his life's face and then sing a song for us?

"

n

"Seems like that! Hey Ryan, see the picture afterward and now sing the song…

" Charles also added the fire which made Ryan simply ignore their words and gaze at his lady love.

nThe picture was of two people, in their young age but no one had any idea about the identity.

nQuickly, he kept his phone back in his pocket without using much.

nWith his hands in position, he started playing the beautiful song which he wanted to for all of them, making others feel the live concert of their brilliant singer.

nThe easy and joyful moment was sitting up with their eyes and heart.

nWith a light-hearted mind, no business around, they can feel their own mind getting relaxed with this.

nEverything was made to be so peaceful that others can feel their soul despite the tension in their own world. Yet, a person's heart was breaking with each line he said.

nAmaira herself knew how hard it was to hold her tears. Why?! Just memory because of whatever shape in his past? Or to know the truth that he moved so easily without looking back?

nIt was painful when she filled her heart was constantly being squeezed e with plague. It was getting hard with each passing second…

nThe more she glanced in his direction and his powerful face, the more she embedded the past, where they had to go different ways because of misunderstandings and stubbornness of this guy..

n'But I Can't force someone.. if he doesn't want to be with me any more right?' Can she?

nThe thought brought a sander smile to her face when she simply squeezed the glass in her hands.

nThe drink would have spilled out if she applied more force. 'He is seeing the picture of his lady love... whom he loves before singing. Earlier, I was his motivation.. is the love shifted and given to someone else from his side? was my wait worthless?'

nNo, she can't tolerate it anymore.

nWithout giving anything about it anymore, Amaira picked herself up and left the bonfire side, surprising everyone.

nBut her departure didn't make Ryan stop his music at all. He simply pulled his heart, as if trying to get himself absorbed in the song.

nBoth Jennifer and Javier Gave each other a look to know what happened to Amaira all of the sudden? But they kept mum, not just disturbing Javier at all.

n'Probably she needs her space..' Jennifer can only bring this thought.

nBut somehow, Ellen didn't leave Amaira alone either. He walked behind her to not leave her alone for security purposes.

nThe same relieved Javier and Charles when they shifted their attention back to Ryan.

nThe music was too sudden when Jennifer heard it while keeping her head against Javier's chest.

nEmily was passing daggers to her but later on stopped when she saw that her glance made no difference.

n

"Javier..

"

n

"Hmm?

"

n

"It's… just beautiful here. Everything.

" the words rolled out of her lips on their own without him replying anything at all.

nAll he did was wrap him around her small body which was the way he can keep his head in the pouch of her neck. Their words are left unsaid but.. he emotions were all to be known to him and his heart.

nYet the moment got disturbed when Javier's phone's notification was lifted, disrupting his attention.

nLooking at his message, his eyes turned chilly omitting a dangerous aura.

nFATHER- They are showing up tomorrow. Be ready..
