"Eating here all alone huh?"
Zack said with his usual smirked as he walked towards him, sat beside him on the bench and takes a finger fish and chewed it vigorously infront of him, as Ender starred him with a blank face.
Misha giggles as she also sat beside Ender on the bench. Maintaining little distance from him. Ender offered it to her as she looked at him with unsure expression. Ender did a lazy nod for her to take it as she gradually take it. Eating it neatly and pleasantly. Ender who was looking at the sky where as Zack looked at his surroundings, both lost in their thoughts.
The children were bantering and playing with each other where as their mothers were talking firmly. The sun which was about to set, as the orange light glow everywhere. Ender reflectively glimpse at Misha face, the unreal orange glow made her hair and her sky-blue eyes shine like a solidarity candle in darkness, deep darkness.
Ender smile as she noticed it.
"What so funny?."
She spoke with her curious eyes.
"Nothing."
Still smiling.
She tried to say more, she had to say more. But she turned her face from him. A noticable blush on her cheek.
"Yoo."
Zack broke the silence between them. As they turned their faces over him.
"What was the calendar year of here that Ma'am Iris told us?. I forgot."
He sighs.
She wondered before answering.
"1991 17th August."
"Yoo!"
He exclaimed with excitement as he wrapped his arms around Ender's neck, Ender who was confused what was happening here?, glared at him with a blank face.
"You forget your birthday is on 19th man."
As he leaves him. Still laughing. As Ender looked with a disturbed expression, sighing.
"Who makes birthdays now?. Dumb."
He smirked.
"It's been a while since we had birthdays. Who had the last birthday?. Sara right?."
Misha wondered as she spoke with unsure expression.
"Ahh yeah. The day when we pasted the cake over her face."
They chuckled at the same time. As Zack's gaze glanced upon a man wearing a full coat, with a hat. A poster sticked on the bridge railing which had a picture of a festival in it. The 'Graham Festival'.
"Tickets!. Tickets!. Come and enjoy. Just opening on 19th!."
The man was waving his hands as people were coming in crowds. There was rush over that place.
"Yoo. I think we should go there."
Zack said to them with his pleaded eyes.
"Uh. We should ask everyone about it."
Ender spoke with confusion.
"I'm pretty sure they will agree. Just buy it."
He spoke firmly.
"Do it with your own money."
He smirked as Zack starred him with blank face.
"He is joking."
Misha spoke with her usual tone. As Zack sighs and muttered before he gets up.
"I know."
As Ender and gets up too and join the busy crowd. After a while, they managed to came in front as the tickets fees were 8 dom.
"This is too much pal. Any discount?"
Zack spoke to him, like they both knew each other for a while. After a pause. He declared.
"7 enough?."
"Yep."
As they buy 5 ticket, two for other fellows. With that they started trailing together in the crowd. Gradually shifting to lees crowdy place.
"Don't gave them for free."
Misha giggles.
"Yeah they're paying for it."
Ender does an exaggerated smile as he adjusted his coat.
"How about a whole yurum?"
Zack laughed abruptly.

"What are we doing here?"
Ruis asked firmly to Sara as they were walking around the polished gravel paths near the cobblestone streets. The horse stamping on the boulevard as the crooked lamps which were lighting the whole place like tired stars.
People with their families were bantering and enjoying the night together as they have reached the street stalls area. Sara face enlightened with excitement as soon the streets stalls came on her glaze.
"Are you ready?"
She asked him while he was already confused what was happening?.
"We should come with everybody here."
He spoke with a sigh.
"Nah, those two idiots leave finding other idiot and I don't want to ruin my day because of them."
She declared politely.
"Well.. Your choice to be honest. Do anything you want."
He shrugged.
"You're a boring person."
She said with a irritated tone, not looking at him as she goes to the stalls.
"Hey!. I was joking come on."
As he went after her. In the stalls, after a while on looking everywhere and still not able to find her, he scratches his hair and reflectively looked behind to saw her choosing some jewelries on a ladies shop.
Deciding how to go there, a voice echoed in him.
– She's upset. You didn't compliment her.
~ Just because of a dress. Damn. Girls are more complex than trigonometry.
– Well what will you do now?.
~ Let me think..
As he looked at in his surroundings and his gaze witnessed upon a small lip stick seller and earrings shop. As he went towards it.
There was a young lady and seeing only him, her expression startled. Meanwhile Ruis was deciding which one to choose.
– I think the red, or pink one.
His inner voice mutters to him. Choosing the lipsticks.
~ Wait..
After a while he takes a reddish lipstick with a pink earrings.
Moments later..
"Uh sir, may I ask from whom are you buying this?."
She asked with a smile while packaging his stuff up.
"A friend."
He spoke firmly with an undreadable face. As she handled over to him.
While walking his eyes glanced on another shop who was selling a necklace.
~ Well I guess for what I know her. She won't be impressed by this. This isn't enough.
As he sighs and goes to another shop. Carefully examining necklaces. And after a while, he chooses a beautiful pink heart gemstone necklace wrapped in silver chains. It was elegant and classy.
"How much for this one?."
He asked the shop owner firmly.
"2 yurums."
His eyes widened and he bit his lips but later he sighs.
"Done."
Moments later..
The shopkeeper gave him the necklace contained within a box as he goes to the shop.
The shop was luxury as the floors were of marble and there were airr conditioner too. Sara who was seating on a seat choosing some rings for herself. Her expression unreadable as she had leaned herself to an arm. Suddenly she felt if someone patted her back gently.
Reflexively turning behind to saw Ruis standing there with a smile, her expression was about to became serious, but her eyes glanced upon box and a bag on another hand of Ruis.
"You really are annoying."
He spoke with a smirked. As he placed the box beside her. Her hands wanted to open it as they slightly grasp for it but she control herself and turned beside. Seeing this Ruis sighs. Meanwhile the other women who had came with her men glanced at them with curious eyes.
Ruis opened the box and takes the elegant bracelet out of the box.
"Whatever you do?. I'm not forgiving you."
She muttered as she had leaned to her hand.
"Can I try?"
Ruis spoke fluently as she gave a lazy nod.
Then with his elegant hands he wrapped the necklace around her neck. Seeing this, her eyes widen. She thought that he will came Infront of her and offered her a ring and she still won't accept it but this was out of her charts. Her face became red as she kneel her face down. While Ruis neatly weared her the necklace. Seeing her down, he thought.
~ This still isn't enough?.
But she glimpse at him. Seeing her face like that, which he hasn't ever seen before. Got stunned. Sara sighs and she gets up facing the mirror which was infront of them.
~ This is beautiful..
As she placed her hand on the heart necklace. As she looked at Ruis from the mirror. Who had his face flabbergasted.
She turned her face towards him and seeing her. He sighs before saying.
"Well.. There's more."
As he removed the bag and opened the box, having pink earrings and a red lipstick.
~ Huh?.
Sara blushed but she shakes her head to control herself. Then with her pleaded eyes.
"Can you weared them to me?"
Her tone was soft, almost like an angel as Ruis blushes but clenched his teeth to control himself. As he takes it the earrings and she turned enough so that he can wear her. Gently and gradually he weared her one then does it same for second one.
After that she looked at the mirror, it matched her contrast with her red dress. She giggled. The women watching them looked at their husbands with a side eye.
After that Sara checked the lipstick by turning behind from Ruis then after when she had weared it. She first looked at the mirror then say gently to Ruis.
"How do I look?"
Her pleaded eyes examining him as he had a straight face. His lips twitches as he answered.
"Charming like an angel, bright as a star. And lovely as a moon."
He spoke with a bright smile. As Sara blushes and hides his face from him.
~ Okay I wasn't expecting that..
As she turned towards him.
"Humph!. Not bad. Let's go now."
"Sure then.."
They laughed together as they went outside. After coming from the stalls. They reflectively binded their hands while walking. Until they heard a familiar voice, causing the to separate theri hands.
"Yoo!. What are you guys doing here?."
Zack exclaimed like usual as Ender and Misha were beside him.
~ Did they saw us?.
Sara thought as she shakes her head. While Zack saw her with a blank face like what is she doing?. As Ruis spoke firmly.
"Just taking a look."
He scratches his hair. A grin on his face. Misha gaze witnessed upon Sara's necklace and the earrings.
~ Wait. Don't tell me. He has gifted her..
She was lost in her thoughts as Ender stepped forward and gave Ruis some tickets.
"Gave me a yurum first. These cost a lot."
Ruis who had spent a lot had an undreadable face as Sara stepped forward and gave him two yurums. Which he gracefully takes it. Giving one to Ruis and seeing the poster of graham festival in the festival.
"A festival!."
She exclaimed with excitement.
"Yeah and surprisingly Ender gonna give us a treat. It's his birthday."
Zack does a pleasant laughter.
"Who said I'm gonna make a birthday?"
Ender starred at him with blank face.
"Oh nah. You have to, otherwise pay for the consequences."
Zack points at him as they all started walking except Ender who sighs before trailing with them.
