Tenzin sat down in the garden and pondered the recent events that had just happened. He and Lin had just had another fight. Another fight. This had been what? The thousandth one. It sure felt like it. He had enough. Well that's what he said every single time. He had always said he was out. That it was over. Either he or she had said such things. But this time he thought she meant it. And some where deep inside him, he meant it too. They were over. It was done. The relationship he had tried to build into something more was finished.
Deep in thought Tenzin did not hear the figure approaching him. "Tenzin…"
Tenzin quickly turn to reveal his father standing at the edge of the water fall. "Hello father. I did not know you were up and about."
"It is the middle of the day Tenzin. What are you doing here? I thought you would be up at the Northern Temple with Lin."
Tenzin placed his hand on the back of his shaved head "Well me and Lin….Lin and I are sort of um…done."
Aang stroked his beard "This is like the hundredth time Tenzin."
"Well I think this time it's really done."
"You think or you know?" Aang sat next to his son and closed his eyes.
"I know. We both have different things in mind and we fight about everything. We agree rarely if ever. I thought I loved her but…"
Aang still sitting with his eyes closed spoke softly "Tenzin you have to ask yourself is Lin the girl who is on the same page as you? Is she the one who wants the same things as you? Because if so I think you should try to make it work if not you are the only one to blame."
"But father I-"
"Tenzin, close your eyes and tell me what you want." Tenzin hesitated "Tenzin close your eyes and tell me what you want. Now."
Tenzin closed his eyes and saw his dreams "I want to marry soon. I want to marry for love, for having children, for having someone who wants what I want, and for repopulating. I want someone to understand. I want to be able to take instead of giving all the time. I want more than passion. I want compassion. I wish not to fight about every little thing. I want someone I can talk to openly and who can talk to me. I just want a simple relationship that's going to go some where."
Aang smiled "Keep your eyes closed. Do you see any of the things you want or wish have to do with Lin?
Tenzin replied ashamed "No. She doesn't want any of those things father. She says if we wed or have a child she will lose her identity. I say she won't because it wouldn't be like that. We would be together as equals."
"Have you told her this?"
"Thousands and thousands of times. She just says she doesn't agree. I show Lin every once of affection and try to give her whatever but she won't do the same for I."
"Now that you have admitted these things, ask yourself do you really love Lin? Or are you blinded by past memories and good times to see your true affections? Go on out loud."
Comments and suggestion are always good!
