Chapter 42: Covenant
Kaizer nodded as he guessed it might be about this. He pushed his upper body up and adopted a sitting position as he seriously glanced at Rina, who sat near him.
"There was some part of the story that I did not tell our folks, and it concerns the two of us specifically."
Rina nodded and looked somewhat interested, beckoning Kaizer to continue.
Kaizer cleared his throat and spoke. "Do you remember the promise we made back when we were kids?"
Rina looked at Kaizer strangely, wondering if this was a trick question. Of course, she remembered that promise; she could bring up every single detail from that moment as it was one of the most vivid memories in her mind.
She thought about that moment day and night, and whenever she saw Kaizer with another girl or going on a date, she would often spend the night crying in frustration, thinking back to that promise and feeling deeply betrayed.
So to hear him ask about it now, Rina felt a profound absurdity in it all.
"I do, what about it?" She could only respond with in the end, holding back the countless years of complaints and rants she wanted to release at this moment.
She had only just started patching up her relationship with him; now was not the time to devolve back into fighting with him.
