His grin was back and the lady smiled back. He brought his hand to hers and held it, caressing her palm which brought shivers on her body. “We had to be awake for longer times the past weeks. The situation doesn’t look good.”

Cecilia did not understand fully what he meant but it must be related to the ongoing chaos among nations which she heard people at the marketplace were gossiping about. “Promise me you’ll take care of yourself.”

“I will,” he leaned down and captured her soft lips with his. Cecilia felt at bliss. She wished they could remain like that for hours.

Frantic knocks woke Cecilia up and she frowned when she saw that the sun had not yet risen. Kokoy slept peacefully beside her and she got up carefully, trying not to jostle him in his slumber.

What, or rather who, was on the other side of the door made her stumble back.

“Can I come in?” his voice was low but he was calm, though he was apprehensive. Someone yawned from inside the room and Cecilia pulled the door to narrow the gap, blocking Harry’s sight as he glanced curiously at the source of the sound.

Mentally debating with herself, Cecilia came out of the room and closed the door fully, hoping that Kokoy won’t wake up soon.

Harry made a move to rest a hand on her shoulder but she flinched, not expecting the gesture. It has been so long.

“Can we talk then?”

She muttered a small “Okay” and followed Harry out. Her steps faltered and she glanced back at the door warily before catching up.

It was late but Cecilia couldn’t sleep. It has been a week since she last saw Harry. Her mother somehow sensed that something was unusual with her and made her younger brother come with her every afternoon, preventing any chance of them seeing each other.

Moreover, tension was building up on Harry’s side. The war with other nations was costing them a lot of lives and resources. The people in their barrio have also been on the edge the past weeks, unable to sleep soundly at the threat that their place might be drawn with the war any day.

She turned to her side, sighing as her parents and siblings snored softly when she heard a faint hiss.
