It was a beautiful night of the full moon. The sky was bright with soft silver light, and the calm sound of the sea waves filled the air. On that magical night, a boy and a girl came to meet each other by the seashore.
The boy's name was Shiba, and the girl's name was Pihu.
They loved each other very much, but they had never met face to face before. This was the very first time they were going to see each other in real life. Their friendship and love had started through the mobile app Instagram. Through messages, late-night chats, and shared dreams, they slowly became very important to each other.
That night, Pihu arrived wearing a beautiful white dress that looked almost like moonlight itself. The soft breeze from the sea moved her hair gently. Shiba came wearing a reddish shirt, standing a little nervously near the shore, waiting for her.
When their eyes finally met, both of them stopped for a moment.
They looked at each other silently, almost as if time had paused. Neither of them spoke. Inside their hearts, a strange storm of emotions was flowing—excitement, happiness, nervousness, and a little bit of fear.
After a few moments, Shiba gathered his courage and softly asked,
"How are you, Pihu?"
Pihu smiled gently and replied in a quiet voice,
"I'm good… and you?"
Shiba nodded and smiled.
After that, they walked slowly and sat down near the seashore. The waves were moving slowly under the moonlight, and the sound of the sea made the moment even more peaceful.
For a while, neither of them spoke. They simply looked at each other again and again. Sometimes their eyes met, and both of them quickly looked away with shy smiles.
Finally, Shiba broke the silence.
"Pihu," he said softly, "you look very beautiful tonight. You are truly very beautiful."
Hearing those words, Pihu's face became even brighter than the moon above them. She felt shy and lowered her eyes slightly, smiling softly.
They continued talking about many things—about their lives, their dreams, their childhood memories, and the little moments that had made them laugh during their online conversations.
But inside Shiba's heart, there was one small wish.
He really wanted to hold Pihu's hand.
However, he was also a little afraid. What if she misunderstood him? What if she felt uncomfortable?
After thinking for a moment, Shiba finally asked with hesitation,
"Pihu… can I hold your hand?"
As soon as she heard that, Pihu suddenly stood up, blushing deeply, and started walking away a little.
Shiba became worried and quickly followed her.
"Did I say something wrong?" he asked nervously.
"Did you feel bad? I didn't mean to—"
Before Shiba could finish his sentence, something unexpected happened.
Pihu suddenly turned around and hugged him.
For a moment, Shiba stood there in complete surprise. He didn't move at all. It took him a few seconds to understand what had just happened.
Then slowly, with a warm smile, he hugged her back tightly.
Under the bright full moon, beside the endless sea, they stood there holding each other for a long time. In that silent moment, words were not necessary. Their hearts understood everything.
After a while, Pihu gently moved back and looked at Shiba.
"It's getting late," she said softly. "I have to go home now."
Shiba's face suddenly became a little sad. He didn't want that beautiful moment to end.
Pihu noticed his expression and gently held his hand.
"Don't be sad," she said with a sweet smile. "I will come to meet you again."
Shiba nodded slowly.
Then Pihu turned around and started walking away. Shiba remained standing there near the seashore, watching her quietly.
He kept looking at her as she walked farther and farther away, until finally she disappeared from his sight.
But even after she was gone, the memory of that beautiful full-moon night remained forever in his heart.
