Summary
On a sunny day, a girl named Rina loves playing in the playground and seeking new experiences. One day, she secretly leaves home to return to the playground by herself. At the playground, Rina met a boy named Aqma who was sitting quietly on a seat. Startled, Aqma asked, “Why are you looking at me like that? What are you doing here alone?” Rina replied confidently, “Why, just because I'm a girl I can't come here by myself?” Aqma moved her gaze and just sat silently watching Rina playing by herself. It wasn't long before a horde of children came to invade the playground and Rina was drowned out by the group of newly arrived children. Aqma, confused and searching for Rina. “Uh it hurts.” He heard a voice. “Told you, people like you aren't fit to play here alone!”, “I just fell!” Rina retorted unhappily. “Just? You hurt your leg!” Aqma exclaimed. Their argument was punctuated by the growing sounds of children on the playground." "Hurry, get up before you're trampled!" Aqma urged. "I can barely stand!" Rina retorted. Aqma offered his hand. "You said you just fell, but you can't stand. Let me help." Rina accepted, and Aqma helped her to stand up. In a quieter place, Aqma tried to clean Rina's wound. “How is it? Does it feel better?” asked Aqma. “Yes, better, thank you.” Rina replied softly. “I'm Rina, by the way.” “I'm Aqma.” Aqma and Rina shook hands. “Thank you, you're better than I thought,” Rina said with a smile. Before it got too late, Aqma helped Rina back to her house. “Rina!” said Rina's mother. “Are you alright?” “I'm fine, mom, thanks to Aqma.” said Rina. Rina's mother turned to Aqma. “Thank you for accompanying Rina to play and helping her.” said Rina's mother with a smile. Before Aqma left, Rina stopped her. “Aqma! Let's meet and play together tomorrow” Smiling, Aqma agreed. From that day on, Rina and Aqma became close friends, and shared many adventures together.
