Gara thought that once he revealed his pregnancy, Madha would reconsider and cancel his departure.
Unfortunately, the tall man still left.
That night, under the moonlight, Gara saw bitterness and hesitation filling Madha's eyes.
"Don't worry," Madha said softly. "I will definitely come back, Gara."
You're the one who looks worried right now, Gara thought, but he didn't say it out loud. He only wanted to cherish their remaining time together in peace.
The next morning, Madha left without saying goodbye. At the very least, this time he left a letter behind, one that brought tears to Gara's eyes as he read it.
Especially the line that said:
"When I return, we will officially hold our engagement ceremony, witnessed by your noble family."
Gara could only hope that time would pass quickly and that Madha would return to him soon.
A few days later, the new academic year began. Gara and Fian returned to the academy with noticeably low spirits.
