If I think about it, my date with Lion was common as every couple do but It was special for me. That was my first date after all and first time going with someone who loves me with their heart content.
I look at the ceiling. A straight look on my face—staring at the exact same spot.
"That day I was so excited." I take my hands on the same spot where I am staring and cover it while lying. I glance at my sweater sleeve.
I smile; If it's possible, can god give those days back now, where there is no disease, no mistress, no coldness, no time limit, but only Lion and me together—laughing, living in our home, talking to each other with our whole heart, and sleep in one room... not like now, when we're apart.
I take a deep breath.
"Those days." I close my eyes to sleep but I don't know why my tears are dropping down on my cheeks.
I turn; My breath is heavy. I smile on my own while remembering past days.

I woke up at 6 am.
At that time I was living in a rented house on my scholarship and part-time. My parents never support me. When I was only in the playgroup they always shouted at me because of the fee.
Unfortunately they are selfish—They spent money on themselves.
That's why I decided to leave them when I got to my legal age.
And left them; Then I only waited. When the time came, I became 18 years old. I left them with a note as I am running away.
But after running away. Only my father calls me every month to ask for my health or need anything.
I take a deep breath. I slap my cheeks.
"Let's go through my routine first." I shouted.
"After that hehehe.. My date." I announce with excitement.
I stand up and jump from the bed to the ground and run to the bathroom. I open the door.
*CLACK*
I go under the shower and open it.
*SPLASH* I shouted, "Ah—!! So cold." I jump backward.
"Hm… why is the water cold?" I pout.
I take my hand under the shower trying to adapt to the coldness of the water. Afterwards.
I take a deep breath.
"Who dares, if it's that cold I need to wash myself quickly." My voice was determined.
Then I bathe—quickly. Wear my normal clothes for a while. Then I head toward the kitchen.
I cook some breakfast—an egg, and roast bread as usual.
Take it to my study table. Then I eat while watching reels.
After every work. I wash my hands and head to the study table again. I sit in my chair, wear my glasses ,open my textbook and go into study mode at 6.30 am.
First—math solving.
Second—science… my favorite one—physics.
English—read the passage, trying to memorize the story.
And last; History—the most boring subject I had ever seen.
I look at my watch in my hand—8.30 am. My eyes widened in shock.
"How quickly time passes. I don't even realize it." I mumble.
I turn my face, looking at the open window—tall buildings, car horns; they are all disturbing but something makes them quiet—I like wind so much when it is cold.
I forgot everything—closing my eyes and feeling the wind was one of the most common things I do when I am sad.
While thinking, a cold wind fell into my face. It gives me chills.
I squeeze my clothes.
"So cold." I tremble.
Sunlight gazes were falling on my desk.
*SNAP*
I slap my cheeks. I stood and slammed my hands on the table.
"It's time to get ready for my date." I excitedly announced.
I look around—first I close the window. I hurriedly ran to the cupboard to take out my outfit for today.
I took it out… obviously all the outfits were oversized. Oversized jacket, oversized shirt, oversized jeans, oversized shorts etc.
But in so many choices I choose a normal looking sweater—because I was nervous so I need an outfit that is going to make me calm. So I finally chose a knit sweater with cream colour and jeans that would suit the sweater.
I wear them. And grab my shoes—I start cleaning my white shoes more and more—after cleaning it was shining like I bought it recently.
At last, I look at the mirror while fixing my hair and head towards the location we are going to meet.
I check my watch when I am on the elevator—9 am.
I think I will reach the location before Lion. So I grab a taxi and boom…
But when I was near the location and I saw there was a man waiting for someone—wearing a casual outfit.
And that man was Lion—That time I was so disappointed. Means I came here with so much preparation and that bastard.
But I was shocked and happy at the same time—because he came too early. He said 2 hours like it is not a big deal.
I stared at him while my heart was beating fast like it would blast at any second. I don't care about clothing but I want to make that day special for both Lion and me.
I lectured him about dressing—He apologized about his clothes.
And we start our date by the location we met.

Those were so exciting tho… I fell asleep while my eyes were dry because of crying—slowly.
