'Don't go,' she said, out of the blue.
'...' he froze, not knowing what to say. He looked at her, part of him feared that she was gonna be yet another clingy girl.

Sensing his fear, she laughed, happily she said 'you know I'm not serious right? Of course I know you have to go but I just wanna say it. I just wanna be silly and ask you not to go. I just wanna be naive and childish. '
'Oh... ok,' he replied, feeling relieved, and broke into a gentle smile.
'Don't go,' she said again.
'I won't,' he replied, this time knowing what she wanted to hear.
She laughed, happy like a child.
'Don't go,' she said once again.
'I will stay here,' he promised, with zero ounce of sincerity in his words.
She laughed, and he started laughing too, silly as a bunch of kids.
'Don't go,' she said again.
'I won't,' he replied, this time knowing what she wanted to hear.

Days later, his flight tickets were booked and it was confirmed that he would leave soon.
'I'm leaving tomorrow night,' he said.
'Oh...' she responded, the time had finally come. 'Okay... that's soon,' she was shocked, and despite her smile, her sadness was apparent.
'Don't look sad,' he said, not liking what he saw.
'Don't go,' she said, trying to sound casual.
'Stop it,' he said, slightly frowning, having sensed her unhappiness.
She bit her lips to stop the tears from falling, took a deep breath, faked a smile, 'don't go.'
'Stop it,'he said, a bit irritated.
She stopped saying it, pursing her lips.
There was an awkward silence in the room, deafeningly loud.

Hours before his departure...
'Don't go,' she said again, this time with a smile.
'...' once again, he didn't know what to say.
Moments later he said, 'what am I to do here?'
Stiffling a chuckle, she said, smiling from cheek to cheek, 'you know I am very realistic and jaded right? Of course you're not gonna stay here. That's nothing for you to do here. That wasn't a serious question, imagine the real world didn't exist and money or obligations didn't matter... don't go.'
'Ok,' he was relieved and replied quickly.
'Don't go.'
'Ok!'
'Don't go.'
'Ok!'
He reached for her hand, held it tightly, and rested it on his chest and they both sank deep in thoughts.

Tears welled up in her eyes as that went on but she pretended that she wasn't feeling sad and he pretended not to have noticed her crying.
'Don't go.'
'Ok!'
'Ok!'
They both smiled.
