The Hourglass 20 Our First Date

Aria also said that she felt the effect of my shared power, she said that she could fell that she recover her wound and stamina faster and she said she felt younger but Michael didn't saw it directly since the effect she felt will be a down powered one.

Michael also tried to buy guns but in an eastern country like his country it's hard to do so, Michael got some cold weapon in exchange, he got some retractable spear so he can bring it into school, he got some katana since he thought it was cool, and he had to ask Aria for it, unfortunately for his manly pride.

The few weeks Aria noticed that Michael is getting younger even thought Michael himself never noticed but as someone who try to notice everything about Michael, Aria noticed it so she told Michael about it and Michael nodded since it was just as he expected.

Michael mainly cultivate and studied since his physical body won't change even if he goes to gym every day, even if he turned off his power to be normal it will take a long time to build the muscle and when he turned on his power all his effort will be wasted so he cultivate his Breathing method and one time he took his courage to ask Aria for a date which she happily agreed to.

Then Michael planed it carefully so he wouldn't make the same mistake as the main character that he read on their first date, he planned and kept it a secret from Aria.

The day before the date Aria suddenly vanished leaving a note "it won't fell like a real date if we come from a same house, well when we are married it probably will felt like a real one and a girl have to prepare herself, you know" she finished it with a winking emoji.

.................

When Sat.u.r.day came I wear my best shirts , my favorite pants and the I styled my hair into the one that he once said is making me handsomer while I wear the cologne that she said smell good from my father's collection.

I drive with a car that I usually to lazy to drive and only used to go to school to the promised meeting place half an hour earlier to let me review the plan and prepare my self so I can enjoy it too so she won't be worried about it, we promised to come at 9.30 since almost all shops will be open already by the nine in the morning.

I wait while watching some shops opening late and after fifteen minutes I saw her coming from the same way I come, wearing a white one piece that only cover her chest to knee with a see trough clothes as it's outer layer with flowers pattern sewn on it .

Her hair was tied into ponytail that make her looks more energic while her face had a light makeup enchanting her beauty more and she wear a light pink lipstick on her lips that seem to make her look more perfect.

She saw me and a teasing smile began to form on her face that stunned me, she skipped happily that seem to out of the place with her clothes and her low hill shoes.

"arara… did you get stunned from my beauty?" she asked suddenly with the teasing smile gone and she pretend to be elegant while swishing her ponytail to her back.

"yeah I did"

Probably not expecting such a honest answer she got stunned and she hurriedly searched for a comeback and her teasing smile is back.

"hmm… did you wait for me about an hour, half an hour, are you that eager to have our first date" she questioned me.

This time I denied her with an other comeback "no, I just arrived a few minutes earlier than you and what about you arriving fifteen minutes earlier that the time, isn't that you the one who is eager?"

With my comeback she kept quiet but suddenly she run into a nearby shop and she asked the aunt there about the time I arrived there, the aunt answered ambiguously too that can make other misunderstand "when I opened my shop he was already standing there, seemly waiting for someone"

And Aria happily skipped here again and I know no matter how much I tried to explain it too her she wouldn't believe me, so before she even opened her mouth I grasped her hands and walked into the first destination a mall, a cla.s.sic date destination but this is not the last place we would go.

In the mall we chatted while walking and we buy some ice cream, went window shopping but of course Aria and me bought what each other recommended.

The mall was uneventful but fun and enjoyable, at the end we only bought three bags of clothes and only one of them is the one I choose, it seem Aria is holding back or she just didn't enjoy shopping as much as anime girls do but when I checked internet, it is said all girls do enjoy shopping.

Before we go to the third destination we go to my car for a second to place the shopping bags, on the mall when we talked to each other I learned that she already had breakfast and used taxi to get here, so the second destination is cancelled.

On the way to the third destination I glanced at my phone to see time, it was 10 already and it's perfect for the fourth destination and the third one.

I already bought the tickets for a new horror movie for both before lunch and after lunch just in case that Aria went into a shopping craze so I gave the one for afternoon to the cla.s.s since I bought it with application I can share it on our L*ne group and the first one to print the tickets win I guess.

As for why horror, it's not that I want Aria to scream and hug me but she said to me when I asked some other days that she liked the horror or thriller film.

When we watched the horror movie it was pretty exciting because Aria sometimes used her power to make it as if the spirit jumped out form the screen for some specific person, if it were me I could do that too but not as specific like Aria, I can only do the one that everyone could see.

After that we had lunch on a restaurant that Is famous for it's delicious chicken and beef meat dish, of course I make an reservation earlier otherwise we wouldn't be able to eat here, huh… I also reserved one in other restaurant to bad Aria already ate a breakfast.

We ordered all of the recommended dish and the waitress immediately asked if there is more people coming and we said no, the waitress warned us to not waste food and I a.s.sure her that the leftover could be brought home.

When the dishes come, people around us got astonished but they didn't get astonished for long since they probably thought a rich kid is showing off or there will be more people coming but after we eat elegantly and fast the people around us became astonished and some of them even recorded it but neither Aria or me minded it.

Around two in the afternoon we finished our lunch and I took Aria to our last destination with my car, the amus.e.m.e.nt park.

This park is immensely popular and never got overcrowded because it accept only limited amount of people per six hour and it opened from six in the morning into six in the evening.

When we arrived there, there was a long queue but as I already reserved it a week ago I don't need to stand there, we could just go straight to the entry point and when the people complained I waved my tickets and they went quiet with some want to buy it off me but I ignored the.

Inside the amus.e.m.e.nt park was not too crowded but it was not too spare either since it accept only one thousand despite the maximum capacity of two thousand. This park changes it's facility once every half a year and the changes will definitely attract a load of costumer not to mention it's ticket is expensive, perhaps the owner of this place is an innate awakened like us too.

The theme for this six months is the cla.s.sic amus.e.m.e.nt park but with better version of it.

I dragged Aria who didn't know where to go to a roller coaster, we coincidentally arrived just when the roller coaster just finished a round, so we got in.

At first it was just like other roller coaster, it climb higher, higher, and higher but it was indeed higher than normal and when it dropped down it was drooping in spiral, after that we got into a cave where there are sometimes a skeleton and other scares that jump on us only to realize it was an hologram, exiting the cave we got into the usual roller coaster we went into the double roller coaster and then we spin once more before stopping.

Many other costumer were still a little light headed but we just stroll over it and I pull Aria toward the next games.

This last until evening just half an hour before the park closed, for the last ride we ride the huge ferries wheel that last for more than ten minutes.

When we entered I began to speak to Aria.

" Aria, all this time thank you for your effort to love me"

Hearing my word Aria became alerted, hmm… it seem she is having an misunderstanding.

"don't worry it's not like I am saying goodbye or let's break up"

Aria believed my word and her face became less tense.

"all this time I realize that I never actually said that I love you, I read in internet that sometimes even thought you know I loved you I still have to say it so…"

Her face immediately full of expectation of what I will say and I will fulfill it for her.

" I love you, Aria"

Without me noticing it a smile silently appeared on my face.

Immediately Aria jumped at me and said "I love you too, Michael" while hugging me.

"I have a present for you, Aria. Even though to you it may not cost much but still I tried to but the best I can"

I said to her while taking a small box and her face became the one that is full of expectation with her hands clasped as if she was praying.

I opened the ring and she gasped as if she saw the most beautiful thing on the world, I took her right hand and I inserted the ring on her ring finger on her right hand.

The ring looks good on her, the white gold that is carver with my and her name on it's inner side while it's outer is carved with a decorative carving that serve to increase the beauty of a small diamond emblemed on it.

I stood up only for her to tackle me down and kissed me pa.s.sionately but before we went to the next step I reminded her that this is still in the Ferris wheel so we wait until we come down and we went to my car to go to a hotel since we are going to finish the next step
