"Tryst" [Shirokuma Literature Club]

Good evening, everyone.
This week's Shirokuma Literature Club prompt is a creative piece starting with "On a sunny day."

The cherry blossoms look like they will bloom soon.
It has become the time of year when I want to leisurely enjoy them on a sunny day.
Manager Komaki, please take it away.

"Tryst"

On a sunny day, I will go to see you.

That's right.
At this time of year, freesias are very fragrant.
Yellow freesias, which remind me of your smile, would be perfect.

"Oh, freesias today?"
She smelled them and narrowed her eyes happily.
"I can feel spring. When the cherry blossoms over there bloom, let's admire them together."
"Yeah. Maybe in about another week. I'm so happy I get to see them with you again this year."
"You always have such kind words for me. You haven't changed a bit since the day we met."
"You're the one who hasn't changed; you're still as cute as ever."
"I'm an old lady now."
"And I'm an old man."

And we laughed, hehehe.

I love you.
That hasn't changed either.

"Mom, that old man is here again."
The mother lowered her eyebrows and smiled in a troubled way.
"Don't stare at him so much."
"Why?"
"Because that old man is famous for being crazy. It's polite to pretend you don't see him. Let's pay our respects and go home."
"...Hmm. He looks happy, though."

The boy could see it.
An old woman surrounded by flowers, happily talking to the old man.

And he felt envious.
