EPILOGUE-THE SPECIAL CONVERSATION

A/N: I decided to add a bonus chapter because all people who've read and submitted reviews deserve a bonus. ENJOY!

Author's Question: Want me to create a sequel for this story?

      One day, Rikku and Gippal are in the Mi'ihen Highroad, watching the beautiful sunset. Rikku noticed that her boyfriend is quiet so she decided to break the silence.

      "Why you're so quiet? Is there something wrong?"

      "Nothing too important."

      "Come on, Gippal! Tell me your problem."

      "Yuna and Paine spoke to me last night at the temple."

      "Huh? I don't know about that. Maybe I'm already asleep. What did they tell you?"

      "They told me that if I made you cry, they'll never forgive me and they'll even kill me."

      Rikku laughed.

      "I should've kept my big mouth shut!"

      "No, Gippal. I laughed because you were carried away by their warnings. Ignore it. They're just concern for me."

      "I know that they're just concern but there is something that I'm afraid of. Something that is much worse than what your friends have said to me. I'm afraid that one day, you'll leave me."

      "What? Me? What made you think that I'll leave you?"

      "I'm just afraid that you'll not be happy with me that I'll never meet your expectations on me…that because of my stupidity, I made you cry…"

      She rested her head on Gippal's shoulder "You don't need to think like that. I'm happy. And I'm not lying. Trust me."

      "Really?"

      "Of course. You don't need to worry Gippal. Remember what I said before in the Djose Temple? That as long as you'll stay by my side, I'll not cry? Remember that?"

      "Yes, I remember that."

      "I'm glad that you remembered that."

      "I'll always be by your side…forever."

      "Forever?"

      "Yes, Rikku."

      "You know…I didn't really hate you anyway."

      "Huh?"

      "Nothing, Gippal. Just ignore what I said…"

      Gippal tickled Rikku. The Al Bhed girl giggled.

      "You always know my weak spots." Rikku said. "Stop it!"

      "I just love it when you're giggling. You're so cute." and Gippal pinched Rikku's cheek.

      "I said stop it!"

      Gippal stopped making fun on Rikku as what the girl has wished.

      "Rikku?"

      "Yes?"

      "E muja oui" (I love you)

      Rikku shrugged.

      "You don't need to say it to me all the time. Words are not enough to express one's feeling."

      "I think you're right. But there's one thing that I want you to know…"

      "What is it?"

      "I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll always be here…by your side, that I'll give my life to protect you that I'll not make you cry."

      Rikku looked at him "I know you'll always be here. I have faith in you. I know that you'll not break your promise. I trust you…and I love you."

      "I love you, too."
