'Both of them woke up early the next day, all pumped up with positive energy.
They prepared themselves well with all the material needed for a short trip to the mountains, food, clothes, a tent of two people...
They put all of that in Herald's car and on to the races.'
'After hours spent driving on the road, they finally got to the destined mountain.
They left the car in the closest parking and picked the bags on their back.'
'During this time of the year people usually go on trips like this, so they found themselves company.
As they went higher and higher they enjoyed every moment of it, Herald is a bit athletic and is used to climbing since his childhood. Sometimes his pace surpasses that of Muruem so he gets back to help her each time while joking with her, telling her how fat she is.'
'He's the same guy that praises her body each timethough, since he loves thickness on women so much.'
'After approximately two hours of climbing the high mountain, they found a camp where a bunch of other people put their tents. So they decided to do the same and not continue on climbing as Muruem was really tired.'
*After finishing, they both got inside it and finally rested their tired bodies..*
Herald says. "Good job, you're not as bad as i thought you would be."
Muruem. "I am just as good as ur performance in bed brother what do you mean?"
Herald. "Please! Dont make me proove how wrong that is."
Muruem. "I would really love to make you do that in any circumstances other than this."
Herald. "Don't worry though, I do not forget disrespectful claims like that so you'll be proven wrong later on."
Muruem, with a teased face says. "Emmmmmm, we'll see."
'Both will stay cuddling a little more to recover completely, then Muruem got up to prepare something to eat. While Herald decided to make Tea so he went to bring some wood for fire.
Even though they brought a little bottle of gaz, he wanted to keep it fully natural.'
'Both of them, after eating will later on take a walk nearby, to appreciate the beautiful view from up top. They held hands all the way and for some reason Muruem brought up the memory of their first ever date. Back in May 2020.'
Muruem. "...I still remember the first time we held hands, it felt different from anytime i did before you know? Mainly because your hands are so soft and wet."
'Herald's hands get sweaty very often for some reason. He never liked it but Muruem on the contrary, Does very much. Herald never understood why but he appreciates that to no end.'
Herald. "Yeah you just didnt held sweaty hands before i guess."
Muruem. "I was kidding fool, it was because of how safe and loved i felt
Your touch is as tendereous as that of a mother or a nurse. Still takes nothing away from your manliness. It's one of the most unique aspects about you."
Herald. "One of the most unique things about you, is how you never forgot a thing we lived.
How you still appreciate them even after so long. Appreciation to me, is the greatest thing when it comes to choosing someone over everyone and to settle down with."
Muruem. "I would be a fool not to appreciate such good man, I love you as you are Herald."
Herald. "I love you."
'They both stood still at that moment, facing each other, on top of the world, and kissed so passionately..'
Herald. "Probably our best kiss so far right?"
Muruem. "Hmmmm, i don't know...
The one you gave me in front of my parent's house door for the first time is up there too."
Herald and Muruem continued joking while getting back to their camp..
*The night fell down*
'the whole people of the camp were out at midnight, they lit up fire in the middle and sat arround it taking a form of a circle. It was a beautiful moment'
'Anyways, at 3AM everybody was back to their tents and sleeping soundly, including our couple.
The next day was kind of similar to this one, but this time they went with a group of people and reached further points, they discovered new places that were very pretty and pleasant to the eye.'
'At night, when both were laying down next to each other, cuddling tightly and feeling the warmth of their body and breath on each other.'
Muruem went on and said. "...Herald, it has been almost a year since we're engaged.
My parents hardly accepted letting me come and live with you without being officially married..."
'Herald, was playing with her hair but stopped after hearing this, not only that it hit him that its now a year they're engaged, and that Muruem is hinting that she wants them both married as soon as possible. But Herald is soon to make a decision that will possibly affect the path of this healthy relationship.'
'Herald wasn't expecting Muruem to bring this topic in such moment..
Quickly he thought that it is time to tell her about the possible upcoming trip.'
Herald. "..A year went by fast right? Honey, there is no doubt that i want to marry you as soon as possible. In fact i was going to propose that before i got some news just this past couple of days.
I got an email that said i was recruited to complete my PHD studies abroad..."
Muruem, says shockingly. "..OH!! ...Why haven't you told me as soon as you got it??"
Herald. "I wasn't in my right mind these days...You already know why."
Muruem's voice changed and she stopped cuddling Herald.
"Yes but, this is something very important for me as well...
I have the right to know!!
Weren't you the one saying it's both of us in everything??"
Herald embarassingly replies. "Yes... I did and i still do. I am sorry for not telling you earlier Muruem...
But like i said, it isn't sure 100% that i'll go. I still have the choice."
Muruem. "...So? when are you going to choose? And if you chose to go, when?"
Herald. "If i chose to go, its going to be the next monday or tuesday..."
Muruem is no more hiding her upset face expression.
"...It is that soon...How could they give you such little time to begin with?
I don't understand...
I get it now, you asked me to go with you in this trip as a form of goodbye..."
*Her face expression changed from being upset to sad*
Herald, hugs Muruem and says. "What goodbye honey? look at my eyes directly.
This is no goodbye, it's true i wanted us to have great times before my possible going, but it is no goodbye i will be back and i promise you Muruem, Our marriage will soon be real. Hold on just a little."
'Muruem for a moment felt safe and sweet when hearing these words, so she changed her expression again from sad to cheesy'. "And how much is that exactly?"
Herald. "Three months.."
Muruem. " Three months....That is too long for me without you Herald."
Herald. "And i feel just the same honey, but this is for us and for our future as well. I know you'll understand.'
Muruem. in a bitter voice replies. "Well....Yes, sadly i don't have another choice but to understand.
As i always did... But do not blame me if my mood changed a bit, just a bit. Having the thought of you not being there for 3 months is upsetting to no end."
Herald. "I will not blame you, it's me who feels ashamed for making you wait this long..."
Muruem. "Now now, i cannot blame you either, i know you're doing your best to make it a comfortable future..."
Herald. "Yeah..."
'After some moments of silence, they both fell asleep...Or so they thought'
'In fact, neither of them was. Both fell in the deepest points of their minds.
Herald thinking of how sickenning it is to betray himself and his principles and lying on his beautiful woman. And all the emotions he's making her go through with that.'
'Muruem on how it is tiring to keep waiting and to be apart from her love, her man. For a long time. The longest it will ever be, deep down, she is hoping he doesn't go. But she has to remind herself to support her man for the greater good.'
'This made both parts, very unhappy and with chests, very heavy...
Both struggled to sleep but at one point, Herald hugged his woman so tightly during his sleep
Muruem, felt so emotional during that specefic moment and tied him up with ever part of her body, cried some tears on his shoulder then finally, could sleep...'
'Both woke up late in the 3rd day, all they had time for was to collect and clean their place
and prepare for their return...'
