"I want to see you smile before I go…." She smiled for him and saw him slowly fade away…. the blue eyes, blond hair, slowly leaving her… all she could do was whisper "I love you" to the sky. Pete had left… Pete, her Pete had returned to heaven.
Tazusa got up to find herself crying. She dreamt of him again, her last moment with Pete, their farewell. Stifling her sobs, she left her bed to get herself ready for school. At the end of everything her life couldn't stop, she still had her practice to attend, schoolwork to complete…. but things would be different since Pete was no more there to help her. She cried softly again at breakfast- her sister has prepared a dish with tomatoes.
Her sister and coach couldn't figure out why Tazusa the Billion Dollar Beauty was so upset, it even began to show in her skating- she refused to show any life in practice. If asked she would simply say that she was well or go to her room. They tried to brighten her mood by going out but she would be detached from all and play with her food.
Separation from Pete saddened her a lot, stunt planes reminded her of him, she couldn't forget him, and she cried every calling out Pete's name before she fell asleep.
This distance, this gap was very painful for both. Pete watched her from heaven, longing to hold her, kiss her, talk to her, trouble her, and be by her side. His heart broke every time he saw her sad, he wanted to touch those cheeks, wipe her tears and embrace her tightly. "That's enough, I cant take it anymore. The poor girl speaks my name before she sleeps….. she probably won't get over my departure….. Tonight I'll visit her……. Tonight I'll…….."
He was standing in front of her, dressed in white cargoes and T-shirt, a beautiful bouquet he held. She couldn't believe what she was seeing, Pete was in front of her. Gingerly she touched him, her hand didn't go through! He was human! For the first time they hugged, their warmth melted each other, "I love you Pete, I have really missed you…. missed you very much….. been so lonely without you…." His lips cut her short, placed firmly and lovingly over hers. "Tazusa… what do you desire? Will you learn to love someone else other than me?" he said into her hair as they continued hugging, "I desire you Pete, only you. I will never love anyone else. I want you, you can possess me foever, I wouldn't mind. I want you back……"
She woke up happy, "Something good will happen in next few days I know it…….."
"I am going back, I want to go back. I want to be with her again, be with her as a human not a spirit…." he told the Almighty, "I love her, we love each other. By keeping me here you are making us both suffer, what justice is this?" camly God said, "Do you desire her as much as she desires you? If yes, I will send you back. But you need to prove it to Me" "What is your condition?" "Jump from here to Earth, you will find your answer….."
..........................................
"SISTER, SISTER!!!" her younger sister barged in the room with excited looks, "S-sis…. There is someone to meet you…. He says you know him……" "Do I? let me see" Taking in a deep breath Tazusa opened the door, with her fist clenched, ready to deliver a punch to the reporters (so she thought)who wanted some nice juicy news for their papers, "Yes please how may I hel……"
Her punch froze mid-air and warm lips met her cheek which moved on to claim her lips, her eyes widened in surprise and joy…… Pete was facing her!! She brought one hand to her mouth while she laid the other above his heart, it was beating! He was alive and human!
God kept his promise after all Pete did jump from heaven for her!
