Her Story
Six months. It has been six months after the war and people had begun picking up the pieces and moving on with their lives. Cagalli as the head representative of Orb has been one of the busiest. Between hosting peace conferences, negotiations and approving reconstruction budget, she had little time to herself and for that she was glad.
Hence, when she was forced to take a break, on the doctor's order. She went nuts. As a representative it would be unbecoming of her to scream at the doctor so with all her self-control, she declined coolly, reasoning that neglecting her duties as a representative in this crucial time is unacceptable.
"Your duty is to Orb, head representative and that includes keeping yourself in good health. We can't have our representative fainting in the middle of a conference can we?" the doctor replied in kind.
Cagalli can feel herself turning red, both from embarrassment and anger. She had been pushing herself with the hectic schedule and it has taken a toll on her body and she fainted. It was fortunate that she fainted while in office and not during some conference. It would have been mortifying and what would the nation think? So with dread, she comprised to a three days break.
She did not want time to herself. Time gives people the luxury to think and she does not want that. Running away from your own thoughts one of the most cowardly thing to do and she knows but still; it hurts too much to think of him.
She loved him, Athrun Zala. She still does but it was not meant to be. There were too much mistakes made and too many barriers to overcome. She made the mistake of deciding to concede to marry that bastard Seiran and she made the mistake of lying to herself that she can forget him. She made herself believe that taking off the ring meant that she was prepared to give him up. She has been foolish.
Every night, she prayed for his happiness. She knew she would never be truly happy without him so she prayed for his happiness instead. And that was another mistake she had made but she would not probably know. That he too would never truly be happy without her by his side.
