Ade and Hande boarded the gondola on the Ferris wheel.
The sun is setting, and it's the perfect ti to enjoy the sunset and the view of the park.
Hande was quiet since they left the park after Ade handled those troublemakers. She is disappointed that they didn't finish their kiss-deadline talk, but she knows that if she brings it up, Ade will tease her again that she wants that kiss right now, and she will blush and he will laugh… and Hande does not want to go that way.
Their gondola moved higher slowly, taking frequent stops to allow people from the gondola on the bottom to disembark and the next group to get in before the big wheel moved again.
Hande is sitting on the opposite side from Ade and she is observing his profile. The gondola is not large, and she can see the sunset reflecting in his eyes. She wondered what is on his mind.
"You want to say sothing?" Ade asked suddenly.
Ade's question made Hande hold her breath. She didn't expect that he will talk.
Does she want to say sothing? Yes, she wants to say many things, and she has a lot of questions as well, and she picked one.
"What am I to you?"
Ade was confused. "What do you an?"
"Uhm… Sarah and Aiden say that we are a family. And most of the ti I believe that you are treating like I am your little sister. But then you asked to save my first real kiss for you, and that is totally different than the one on the cheek. You told Aiden and Sarah that we are going to Disneyland as a couple… so, which one is it?"
Hande also rembered that rve asked her that morning if she and Ade are a couple and the troublemakers also called them a couple, but Hande didn't want to ntion that.
Hande's eyes widened when Ade moved to sit next to her, and she was unable to break the eye contact because he was looking at her intently.
"I thought I told you that I like you." Ade said after so ti. "And not like a sister. So… unless your feelings are different, a couple sounds right."
Hande felt heat seeping in her cheeks and she smiled.
Ade held her chin with his index finger and thumb and pushed her head to face the sunset.
"Enjoy the view, we are almost at the top. You can look at later, I'm not going anywhere."
Hande was speechless. How can he say sothing so outrageous! But the view was nice, even though she would rather look at him.
Hande felt butterflies in her stomach when Ade held her hand in his, and their fingers interlaced. They are holding hands like a real couple!
If rve can see them now, Hande was confident that she would get a big scolding. But rve is not here… After several awfully long seconds of internal struggle, Hande gathered her courage and leaned her back on Ade. Now they are like a real-real couple, leaning on each other and holding hands. And they are watching the sunset from the top of the Ferris wheel! Oh, gosh!
…
Five gondolas behind Ade and Hande…
Zula sank in Ron's embrace, who held her from behind, and both of them enjoyed the view which was getting better as they moved higher.
Ron kissed Zula's temple and tightened his hold on her.
"We've co a long way since the last ti we were here." Ron murmured close to Zula's ear.
Zula humd in confirmation. "It feels like a long ti ago."
They both drifted off into mories and smiled.
"I think that we should take the mission related to Emma." Zula said after so ti.
Ron has no objections, but he was wondering what prompted that decision. "Why?"
"You should et people from that circle." Zula responded.
Ron understood that Zula is talking about his identity as young Mr. Heine. "I didn't decide to take over Heinelurgy."
"You will. If you don't it will be a mistake."
"You sound confident."
Zula confird. "Now you are not sure, because that part of your life is not cleared up. But once we finish sorting out that town, and your father, and your stepmother, all the dust will settle, and you will see that Heinelurgy is waiting for Ronald Heine to take over. That company belongs to you and you will be foolish to let it go. Without you, it will either fall apart, or it will be absorbed into White corp." Zula turned to face him. "Ron, I saw you during our internship, you are born to be a leader. And you will do great as the next boss of Heinelurgy."
Ron smiled. "It seems that you were thinking about it."
Zula didn't deny it. "You are great and you have three years to beco excellent. You can use any free ti to work with Jeff's people and learn about the company and anything business-related. Jeff already said that he is willing to ntor you. Do you know how many people would sell body parts just to get close to Jeff? And he can be your ntor. Amazing!"
Ron agrees with everything Zula said, but… "I feel indebted to Sarah and Aiden. Taking over Heinelurgy ans that I will not be available for missions."
Zula's face lit up. If that is his only problem, that will be solved easily. "True, but you will be able to do other things. Heinelurgy is present in several states, and with the money and resources, you can help them expand and solidify their influence. Didn't Sarah tell us that she wants us to pursue our own paths, because that will be beneficial for everyone?"
Ron rembered that Sarah said more than once how if soone wants to study law, or dicine, or robotics, Aiden and she will support them because it will help cast a web of occupations that can help the whole family. At that ti, he assud that Sarah was only motivating them to follow their interests when they enroll in college, but now that Zula ntioned how he can use Heinelurgy to help Sarah and Aiden, he sees that there is another angle to look at all of that.
However, he will think about it later.
Ron pushed Zula backward with his body and her head rested on his forearm.
Ron smiled while hovering a few inches above Zula. "I rember that we were in a similar position the last ti."
Zula's heart rate increased at the mory of the first ti when Ron deepened the kiss. They were in a gondola, just like this one, and her mind was spinning, her legs were weak, and she rembers all that clearly like it was yesterday.
"I will take over Heinelurgy under one condition." Ron declared.
Zula was not sure what is on his mind. "Which one?"
Ron gazed into her eyes for so ti before responding: "I will take it... if you are by my side."
Zula smiled. Sohow, his words sounded like a promise. A long term promise of their future together which made her heart expand to accommodate all the love she feels for Ron.
Ron inched closer, their lips connected, and a second later, Zula laced her fingers in his hair and deepened the kiss.
Neither of them cared that their gondola reached the top because no colors of the sunset can compare with the full spectrum of the rainbow which gets unleashed by the magic of the kiss between two people who genuinely love each other, like Ron and Zula.
