"Wait...what?" The raven-haired woman blurted out while racking her brain for answers. "No way..." The other person momentarily gasped before bursting out in laughter, "You forgot about 'it', right?"

"I'm afraid I don't get what you're trying to say," She sighed, trying to understand what the other person's trying to say, "What are you really talking about?" Her brows furrowed even more as she rubbed her temples.

"If it were that important, I would have written it down in my notebook," The raven-haired continued, skimming the notebook resting on her hands, "but there was no any records about me making promises about myself...are you really sure I promised you something important?" She inquired, pursing her lips.

"Oh boy!" The other person exclaimed, sighing in defeat, "My dear Robin, how can you forget such important promise?! I guess I have no choice but to tell you about it," She continued, shaking her head in disappointment. "You promised your mother to pursue your own happiness and experience the thing called 'love'."

"Wait, I did?" Robin, the raven-haired woman, inquired, voice laced with disbelief. "Yes! You even told us that if you'll ever find one, you'll let us meet him." Did I really say that? No way... "Fufufu. You must have been mistaken, Reina. I don't..." She trailed off as memories came rushing back to her like a tsunami. I really did promise that... "I...I did..." she murmured to herself, earning a laugh from Reina, the other person on the line.

"Now, now, Robicchi. We'll be visiting you in 3 months. Bye~" Reina chirped, smiling from ear to ear. Robin was about to protest but Reina ended the call before she could utter a single word. She sighed, putting down the phone on the coffee table beside her. She gulped down the last of her coffee as she gazed at the sky above her.

"So... What are you going to do now?" The white-haired woman asked, shifting her gaze to Robin. "What do you mean, mom?" Robin tilted her head to the side, clueless about what her mother, Olivia, is trying to imply. "What I mean is, you already achieved many accomplishments now and you're already 28," Olivia explained, smiling dearly to her child, "so, I'm wondering what's your next agenda?"

"Agenda? I don't have any of that sort right now," Robin retorted, chuckling at her mother's choice of words, "But I sure do have a thing that piqued my interest." Robin smiled as she stared off into distance, lost in her thoughts. Olivia eyes shot up as her smile widens. "And what is it my dear?" Olivia inquired, intrigued by the thing that caught her beloved daughter's attention.

"Love, mom. I want to at least feel and know what it is. Now that I already achieved so many things, I guess it's time to pursue my own happiness now," She chuckled, suprised at the words that she just confessed. "Fufufu. If I ever find a lover, I'll let you, Anko and Reina meet him first, I promise." She raised her right hand, winking at her mother.

Olivia chuckled heartily as she winked back at her. "Please do! I wanna see little Robins running around the backyard before I die," She teased, lips forming into a smirk and wriggling her eyebrows. Robin stared at her with disbelief as she lightly smacked her mother's shoulder. "Mom!"

"What?" Olivia laughed, "Can't your mother wish for something like that? I wanna have grandkids too, you know!" Robin turned beet red as she playfully glared at her. "Alright, alright. I'll stop for now," Her mother said in defeat, still laughing, "but I'm dead serious though. I really want grandkids as soon as possible." Robin grumbled, earning another laugh from her mother.

That sure brings a lot of memories... She smiled weakly and stared off at the distance. 3 months, huh...guess, I'll be quite busy about something beside work for awhile. A chuckle escaped her lips, mischief dancing in her pair of blue pools. "Fufufu, isn't this challenging?"

She stretched her arms upwards, breathing in the fresh air at the same time. "Now, where should I start?" Robin smirked, lightly tapping her chin with her finger while searching for places that are worth a visit.
