I took out my cell phone and called Leo, telling him that he didn’t have in remé pick me up tonight
These days, he always showed up in front of the piano store rain or shine to pick me up and drop me off. No matter how much I refused, he insisted on giving me a ride.
Thave a date with a friend.” I said, trying to sound casual.
Lro was always very interested in my schedule, and I didn’t want him to keep asking me where I was going with whoever I was with
But at this point, on the other end of the line, he seemed distracted as well.
I was just about to call you,” he said. The got some things to take care of tonight too, so I might not be able to pick you up.”
I sighed in relie glad I hadn’t impulsively invited Leo to the amusement park, or I would have just faced another rejection
I finished the call and followed Shadow to his motorbike,
After putting on my helmet, I climbed onto the back, holding on as he revved the engine.
The bike shot forward, and in no time, we arrived at the amusement park.
The scene before us was like something out of a dream.
The park was alive with lights and sounds, laughter echoing in the air.
But it was the Ferris wheel that caught my eye–the giant wheel towering over everything else, a hundred meters tall, its lights twinkling like stars against the night sky.
We bought our tickets and made our way to the Ferris wheel, boarding one of the small, glass enclosed bases
Inside, there was a telescope mounted on the side, allowing tourists to take in the full view of the city below.
Shadow picked up the binoculars first, peering out into the night.
I watched him, noting the way his expression changed, becoming strange and unreadable.
“Is the night view beautiful?” I asked, curious,
He stated then shook his head
“There’s nothing to see,” he said quickly, setting the binoculars aside and stopping me from picking them up.
But something in his voice made me suspicious.
Igently pushed his hand away and lined the biculars to my eyes
The city sprawled out beneath me, a sea of lights glittering like jewels. It was breathtaking
But then, my gaze drifted to the fairground parking lot, and I fre
There, stepping out of a limo,
, were two familiar figures
Shadow noticed the change in my demeanor and frowned
“What’s wrong?” he asked, concern in his voice.
I lowered the binoculars, my mind racing with questions I didnt yet have the answers to
“It’s nothing.” I said, though I knew it was a be
The truth was, everything had just become a lot more complicated.
The bright lights of the amusement park glattered below the Tertii wheel.
Shadow and I were slowly tracking its fichest point
The city sprawled mit beneath us, but my eyes were drawn in the stretchi
My heart skipped a beat as I watched a man and a woman step i
up
The man was tall, hit dark formal wear fitting perfectly on his broad shoulders, giving hini a enmmanding prese
Even from a distance, I could see how handsome he was, his face sharp and distinguished
The woman beside him was petite, her figure accentuated by the stylish outfit she wore, adorned with sparkling jewelry that gliened in the light
Her hair was perfectly styled, her makeup flawless–every inch of her screamed elegance and sophistication
My breath caught in my throat as I recognized them.
The man was none other than Leo, and the woman–Aria
I stared in disbelief, the binoculars in my hands trembling slightly.
Although I had known that he had betrayed me. I still felt very sick and angry when I saw the image with my oom egen onne azami
They didn’t enter the amusement park.
Instead, they stood at the entrance, talking animatedly
The binoculars were so clear that I could see every
y detail–the curve of Aria’s smile, the way she reached out to touch Lea’s arm.
As I watched them, I couldn’t resist a sarcastic smile.
Leo told me he’d get me hark. Does he mean he’s showing me favor on the surface and secretly contacting Aria in private?
I felt a gentle hand on my shoulder, pulling me back to reality.
It was Shadow.
I lowered my binoculars and turned back to Shadow, who was looking at me with concern.
Even though I was already disappointed in Leo, the pain in my chest was still unbearable,
This was the same man who had been so close to me just a few days ago, owing to love me forever.
And yet, now, this is the man accompanying bas childhood friend, at an amusement park,
The same amusement park that he didn’t even take me to even once.
