My Only Love part 3

       "Ok, I'm not going to lie to you, Wheeler." Linka started crying. Wheeler have her his hankerchief. He rarely ever saw her cry. He took her in his arms and kissed her forehead.
        "I'm happy you feel the same way too," Wheeler said.
        "And how do you know?" Linka mumbled. "Was it Ma-Ti?"
        "Actually, I could tell. You are not that hard to read when you are being true yourself."
        "Oh, Wheeler, you are so, so, wonderful!"
        "So are you." He kissed her lips softly, intending it only to be quick, like what had happened in Russia after he had rescued her when her grandmother got sick.
        But she kissed him back and told him,"Ya tyebya lyublyu."
        "And what does that means?"
        "I love you. Very much. Very, very, very much." She blushed and giggled a bit.
        "Wow, Linka, I have never seen so much seen so much emotion in you."
        "I'm not emotional. I'm, I'm, oh boy."
        He hugged her. "And I love you like that." They hugged for a long time.
        "I'm glad Ma-Ti tattled. Otherwise I would have probably kept it to myself and never let you know. It's not easy for me," Linka said.
        "Oh, I know, It is too easy for me. I don't keep anything secret."
        "Oh, I do. But you've reached the deepest part of the secret in my heart. I've known it from the start."
        "Me too. And they kissed again. This time for quite a few seconds. They came back for air, and Linka said, "Your lips taste like honey."
        To which Wheeler replied, "Yours taste like chocolate!"
        "What else would they taste like? I eat it all day long!" They both cracked up.
        Wheeler looked at his power ring and said, "Too bad this is the only ring I have."
        "Why?" Linka looked confused.
        "Cause I'd ask you to marry me." Wheeler had a shy smile on his face.
        "You impulsive Yankee boy!" She nearly knocked him over playfully.
        "I mean it. You know I don't lie to you."
        "So, you really wanna spend the rest of your life with me? What about all those girls you flirt with?" she asked him, concerned.
        "Hey, babe, when I do so, it's cause you ignore me! And when I look at them, I think of you." Wheeler was so genuine, his feeling leaked out of him. Total contrast with Linka, who hid hers.

And on the other side of Hope Island

       Ma-Ti the busybody had been playing silly tunes on his guitar all afternoon. Gi and Kwame wondered if or when something was going to happen. Ma-Ti was using Heart to know...and all of a sudden his silly song changed to a romantic one, and his calm expression changed to an excited one.
        "Yes, finally! The day of destiny!" Kwame cheered. Gi was jumping up and down `cause she was so happy. And Ma-Ti could not wait to gossip about it to his family...but decided not to.
        "This is true and pure," Ma-Ti said, smiling.

        That night, Linka looked at the stars and exclaimed, "Oh Starry Night, this is the one that I dream of. And his love sure shows because he is my own true love. Good night, my only love." She blew him a kiss from her window. It sure was the best day of her life.

The end.
