Chapter 2: Just pretend!
His eyes opened widely in shock "What ….the….hec….?...
Then she pushed him away and stood up.
"Now!Give me that book!"
"What book?"he said, pretended.
"Needless to pretend! Don't trick me! I very hate being cheated!"She said coldly. Then she picked the book up behind his back. She watched for a while and burned it in merciless way. He's quite discomfort. She had burned her past. He knew it might painful but it still had her lover's shade in there. How could she do that? He just looked at the ash of the book. It scattered everywhere in this room. Somehow, his heart felt pain and he didn't know why.
"There! Now, you have no way to go! Obediently, stay here!"she said. Still cold. A lifeless sentence. He would lost his freedom because she wanted to. She turned her back intended to leaving. Before coming away, she threw some stonyhearted words.
"Lacus-san, prepare. We have a guest tonight!"then she left. Gradually, her silhouette faded, then disappeared. In front of him now was a beautiful woman. She had a long pink hair. Her lovely blue eyes and a friendly smiled.
"Hi! I'm Lacus Clyne. Her adviser and her friend. Nice to meet you!"the pink cute girl said.
"Glad to meet you! I'm Athrun. Athrun Zala!"
"Welcome to this kingdom! And follow me! I will show you your room!"she said. He nodded.
She directed him and strolled around the castle. It maybe nice but cold, like its host. There were many room in here. They looked so modern and magnificent. Except one.
"May I ask you something! Who does that room belong to?"Athrun said as his finger pointed to the room looked very old and like no one used.
"Ah, that room! You know! It's a…It's …...It's the Queen's lover room!"Lacus said in shyness. Because it was the story she shouldn't retold.
"I'm so sorry! I shouldn't mention it!"
"It's fine! Don't blame yourself! It wasn't wrong for asking it!"
"That's his room! After his death, the room becomes empty! No one use it!"Lacus was sad when she told him.
"Did the Queen repair it, didn't she?"
"She didn't repair it! She don't want to erase his figure. She just clean it and rearrange unnecessary things. She really misses him!"
"I'm curious. I thought she was only one knew everything! So she tell you all about her past?"
"Of course! I'm her friend! Make her happy and comfort her when she's sad is my duty! But I also admire her stamina. Because she is really strong and brave after taking a lot of shock like that!"she smiled.
"She loves 'him' very much, doesn't she! So why did she burn that book? I mean her memories about 'him' on that, right?"he was curious.
"She has her own reason, Athrun. In human's lifetime, we have many memories and they should remember. But some of them, maybe forget is the better way. So did she. She just keeps the remember what she needs most!"
"Maybe for you, she looks very cold, cruel and inhumane! But inside, she has a floppy heart. She can cry when she feels pain and smiles when she's happy! She has feeling like other people, merely, she hides it and pretend to be cold. I think you will understand and love her more than now! If you close to her, you will know why she react like that!"Lacus continued.
"Ok, I will try to understand her!"
"Ah, maybe I haven't told you. That book's also a door to come in and out this kingdom. A door connects to the two world. Yours and hers."
"So, that is the most important reason why she destroyed it!"he sighed. He knew it she would never let him go.
They reached to the room.
"Well! We almost here! So, this is your room! I hope you like it!"
"Thanks, Lacus!"he replied.
"Change your clothes! And why don't we have dinner together!"she said before leaving.
"Thanks again! I will go soon!"then the door slapped.
He just looked the room. It's very nice. The room was decorated in many colorful things. Quite comfortable. But did he feel it or not. How long would she prison him here. Looked at the clothes at his bed a while then he put it on. Seem like he had decided. He had no choice except staying here, with her. Right, he had a target now, for tarrying here. Let the destiny decided his fate, again.
Athrun got out of his room. He looked at her lover's room and touched the door. He was startled when he chased the door. He stared at his hand then the door. Suddenly, a voice came out somewhere.
"Athrun, it's dinner time. Let's eat with us!"that's Lacus.
"I'm coming!"he replied. Then he went to the dinning room. He met many people there and made some friends. They sat on the table.
Everything had been prepared. There were six seat in here. The foods looked good but he still didn't want to eat. Everyone sat down and enjoyed the dinner. They had already sat on their seat. But someone's seat was empty. He/She hadn't come yet or that seat had been no one used? That's weird. One of them, seem like they didn't notice about it. They still ate their food and talked together like nothing happen.
"Can I ask you? Why that seat was empty? No one use it ?"he asked, pointed to the seat opposite him.
They was jumped up when he asked them. They just stared at him for a while then sighed.
"That seat you asked! It's belong to the Queen! She hasn't eaten with us for a long time!" A silver man responded and sighed.
"Sorry for asking but why didn't she have dinner with us ?Did she busy or another else?"he asked, again.
"We don't know. But she just buries herself in her library. And she never allows us to come there. Even once. If she wants something, she will call a maid or get it on her own. Maybe she has a secret which can't be told. Moreover, it's her order, we should respect her."Lacus said.
After the conversation, they continued their meal. Athrun finished his dinner quickly then walked out. He got ou of the dinning room. He went to the kitchen and made some food. It took him 15 minutes to do it. He put the food on a tray. Holding a tray of food in his hand, he went to the library. Although he knew, she would be angry because he came in without saying anything but he felt worried about her very much. Why? He really wanted to know what she was doing and how she she felt now. Were she hungry. Maybe he had an impression about her.
The door of the library was opened. He put the tray of food on the table and went around her library. There were many kinds of book here. Magical books, philosophical books…...It's like a museum of books. He took a book and opened it. It's a spell book. He stared at those words in the books. The book had recorded age, spell and…... victims. It had been written all the name of the victim who was cursed or died by this spell. Via Yula Athha who had name on that book. That surname. The Queen. She had it. A love curse. When someone you loved betrayed you, use this spell to curse them. They would never had happiness and neither would their family.
He was shock. Now he knew why the Queen never felt happy before and why she reacted like that. People loved her would never have happy ending. He dropped the book on the floor. He saw a picture fell out of the book. He picked up and kept stare at the picture. A midnight blue hair kid stood under the cherry blossom tree. He was smiling and looked very cute. He still stared at the kid in the picture. That kid looked very like him. His blue hair, a pair of emerald eyes and that angelic smile. That kid had them all. He was very shock. He had never seen the kid in the picture before. Very similar. He and that kid're like twin. Or maybe they're the same person.
He looked for a while then put the picture back in the book. And he gave the book back to the shelf. He sighed and sat down on the couch. He was scary what he had just known. Who know the Queen brought him here because he looked like that kid. That child might have a relationship with her. He was very tired. He wishes it could stop right here. But he had set his foot on it, hard to get out of here. He stood up and went around the room, again. He discovered that behind the book shelf had a door. He tried his best to push the shelf away. A secret room or an basement. Took a torch, he wondered where it would lead him. He walked slowly, went downstairs. He felt weird. He had walked for twenty minutes but still not reach there. Kept walking.
Finally, he arrived. He couldn't see anything there. The secret room was very dark but very clean. He looked every where. Nothing here except a strange column. The column was cover by a blue cloth and rose thorn. Many roses had blossomed around the column. He stepped closer to the column and touched the , the spine pronged his finger. His blood was dripping on the floor. Suddenly, the column lighted. He felt bizarre. This is the first time he has seen this. The feeling was so familiar. He used a knife a cut all the shank of the rose. Many pieces of rose trunk or flowers laid on the ground. He touched the cloth then pulled it out of the column.
His eyed opened widely in shock. One of his hand covered his mouth. He was surprised. In front of him now is a column. A column stored a dead body. This man was locked in water of the column. He looked very like the kid in the picture and also like Athrun. This person had a midnight blue hair like he wasn't sure about that, he just felt it. Looking that man smiled like that, maybe he was happy before he died. Who was this guy already. Was he her best friend? Or her …lover. Athrun couldn't swallow when the word 'lover' in his mind. It's impossible, right? She may be cruel but she would never prison the man she loved in the column then hided at a basement. No, It couldn't be true.
"I thought I told you to stay away this room! Maybe I have forgotten!" A similar girl voice spoke out, made him stop thinking about it. He turned his back and saw a blonde girl. She crossed her arm on her chest and narrowed her eyes. He didn't replied. She sighed and walked towards him, waved her palm in front of his 's still shock.
"Tell me, what are you doing here?"she said to him. He startled and responded her question.
"I was looking for you. I think you are hungry so I brought you some food. And I …I_"he stammered.
"And you spy on me?"she added his sentence.
"No…No, I don't. I just came across!"
"Accidental? I don't think so!"she smirked.
"Can I ask you? Is he your lover?"he asked, she blinked.
"What will you react or say if I say that it is true?"he was surprised by her words.
"Why did you do that? You love him, right!"
"Because I love him. Because I have no another choice, so I have to do that! I will not let him in the coffin alone. Besides, I can also see him if I keep him here. Both me and him. Will never be lonely."she stood in front of the column. Her hand touched the glass, towards that person, her nails scratched it. Her face winced as her eyes looked at that man.
"I guess you will think I'm cruel! I am right, aren't I ?"she turned her back and stared at Athrun.
She smiled, he was surprised more. He knew her secret without permission but she didn't punish him or did anything to , It was rare to see it.
"I am hungry now! I haven't eaten yet! So, let's go!"she begged. She dragged him out of the leaving, she glanced at the man in the column. Then, the door of secret room was shut.
In the library
"Wow, biscuits and honey milk. They look so seductively!Did you make it?"Cagalli looked at tray of food on the table. Her eyes lighted.
"Yes, I hope you love it!"he told her. He put the biscuit in her mouth. She blushed. But he admitted that she's very cute. Maybe Lacus was right. She wasn't cold or cruel. She just lacked a 'love' and a 'care'.
"You know, you remind me 'him'! He always cooks dinner for me. I was surprised that someone as similar as 'him'!"
"Oh! Why didn't you eat with your friend?"he asked.
"I told them not to wait for me. Because I'm busy for tomorrow festival!"she said as she gnawed her biscuit.
"What festival?"
"It's Cherry Blossom Festival!People usually dance, sing and watch flowers together! It's very cool! You can be invited, too!"she grinned.
"I can join?"
"Of course! Consider as my greeting for this dinner you made for me!"
"Thanks!But you should see your face right now! You look like a kitten!"he chuckled. Her face had some scraps of used her hand tried to wipe them but she didn't know where they were.
"Let me do it, my Queen!"he used his handkerchief to brush her mouth. Her face was covered in red. It made her more lovely. Her heart was beating faster a bit. Except 'him', no one could closer to her like Athrun. She could feel his warmth around her. About him, he also never felt like this. This is the first time he has grown closer to a girl like her. He could felt the good side like Lacus said.
"Don't call me like that, just Cagalli"she smiled warmly.
"Ok!"
"Oh,I think it late now! We should go to bed! It' nice to talk to you!"she yawned.
"So do I!"he replied.
Then he left her library. Now he had known more about her. He was thinking about her cute face. She also had a good side. It's merely, she didn't know how to show it. He went to his room and lied on his bed. He could forget about her. Maybe he would teach her about 'love' and 'happiness'. Again.
Till the night, he slept peacefully. The door of his room was opened. He unwrapped his eyes quietly. That person jumped into his bed and lied beside him. He realized that blonde hair. It's Cagalli. She lied on his bed.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"he asked.
"I want to sleep with you!"her reply made him flush madly. She put her arm around his waist and hugged him. She wanted to felt 'his' warmth again. He couldn't do anything, just hugged her back and pulled her closer to him. His heart was beating hard. He was breathless. His face was redder than before. She smiled and slept deeply could feel her heat on his chest.
"Asuran! A…su…ran!"he heard her whisper. He was frozen. He knew she closed to him because of 'him'.He knew that she really loves 'him'. But now he was the one in her side. He would make her happy like that man did to her. Maybe he had fell in love with her. His eyes slowly closed and felt into sleep.
Next morning
He waked up and she's gone. Why he felt hurt and worried? He got out of his bed and changed his clothes. He went downstairs and ate breakfast. He saw many guests came to the kingdom. Maybe because of the festival. After taking it, he came back to his room and read book. Five minutes later, a maid came in and brought his tuxedo. His Queen prepared for him. He saw a piece of paper in the suit. He held it and read.
I hope you like it! ^_^
He chuckled. He was surprised about her quick change.
The evening of the festival.
He wore the suit she prepared for him. He left his room and went to find her. He went to the ball room. There were many people she wasn't. Maybe she was busy a bit. He was waiting for her. Suddenly a girl appeared in front of him. The girl looked cute. She had short pink hair and purple eyes. Her red dress made her more highlighted.
"Hi! I'm Elia Marina. Nice to meet you!"the girl said.
"I'm Athrun Zala! Glad to meet you!"he replied.
"May I have a dance with you!"she suggested.
He knew it would be rude if he denied but he really wanted to find his Queen. At the end, he smiled " My pleasure to dance with a beautiful maiden like you!". He took the girl hand and took her to the dance floor. They was dancing together.
Meanwhile
"I HATE this dress! It's too trouble!"the Queen yelled at her friend. She dressed in the green gown.
"Come down, Cagalli! You will make our guests run away!"Lacus said to her.
"I know!"Cagalli replied as she and Lacus went to the ball room. The Queen has done her work already. So she could relax now. But everything wasn't like her expectation. In front of her now was a unlikely sight. A midnight blue hair man was dancing with the pink girl one. Cagalli's heart felt chocking. She felt like her anger would erupt. Why did her feel like that?
"I have changed my mind Lacus. I won't enjoy it! I have something to do first! Sorry! Everything will count on you! Hope you will have much fun!"Then she left. She had to leave as soon as she could. She couldn't see that discomfort sight. It would remind her about her pain. Lacus knew why she left. She just sighed.
Cagalli went to the garden and sat under a cherry blossom tree. She pulled her legs in front of her chest. Her arms tied her legs. She looked at the bright moon in the sky. It remind her the day she met 'him'. How she missed 'him' very much. She knew someday she had to accept the truth that 'he' was dead. And no one could replace 'him' in her heart. No one. But why she felt hurt when she saw Athrun with another girl?Why did she react like that?She didn't know. Maybe it remind her about Asuran. 'He' was with that girl too. At the first time, she shouldn't bring Athrun here. Because of that, now she had to feel pain, again. She sighed. She stood up and went to her room. But someone there.
Suddenly, she realized a man was standing in front her. She pretended that she didn't know then walked pass him. Like two strangers. The petals of cherry blossom were still dropping. His eyes opened widely. She surpassed him without a word. He felt hurt. He turned his back and caught her hand, dragged her to face him. Two pair of eyes faced with each other. Amber and Emerald.
"What do you want?"she yelled at .
"Why did you say that? Did I do anything wrong?"he asked.
"No, you don't. I do. I was wrong because I brought you here!"she replied. She intended to leave him but she had no chance. His grip on her was too tight.
"Was it still not enough? What do you want me to say? Tell you that you look very suitable with that girl? You and 'him'evenly had a crush on her!"she screamed. He was shock. She tried her best to restrain her he didn't understand what she said.
"Listen, you shouldn't be angry! It's good for your health!"
"I am not angry! I'm just tired! And I'm tired because of you!"
"So what do you want me to do?"he asked.
"Leave. Just leave. Never come back here. Stay out of my life!"
"Where can I go?I swore that I would make you happy!"
"I don't care. And I don't need your pity! Just leave!"his heart was cramped in pain by her cold words.
"Why can't you accept me? Am I not good for you?"
"In the highest floor of this castle has the door. It will help you to get out of here!"she said. Her cold voice's still there. She didn't looked at him.
"You are good person but I am not suitable for you! Besides, I can't forget about 'him'! I have forced many time to accept you, forced myself to love you, but I can't! If you leave me alone, I will be happy!"she continued.
"I don't force you to love me. I just wish that you could let me be with you! I will make you happy like the way 'he' did for you!"he told her.
"I don't need it! Just leave me alone!"
"Tell me, how much you love 'him'?"
"A lot! Enough for no one can replace him in my heart!"
"So can I dance with you the last time?"he asked her. He knew she didn't love him. He didn't want to force her. But he could admit that he loved her. Just only she's happy, he would swap everything.
"No, I don't want to!"
"How about singing? That's would be nice!"he suggested.
"You thought that you can parody him, so I won't let you go? Stop dreaming!" She was frozen. So he has decided to leave her. But it ok, she got used to it. Loneliness, Pain, Sadness, she had already tasted them all.
"But can you give me a gift? I just want to have some memorable things!"She stared at him. She accepted his last desire.
She looked to the cherry blossom tree and sang. Like that time, cherry blossom petals also dropped so beautiful. Like that time, she tried to break up with 'him'. Like that time, she killed 'him'. Like that time, 'he' died in her embrace. Like that time, she cried a lot because 'he' wouldn't come back. And that time she met Athrun Zala. Cherry blossom petals fluttered in the wind.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
It's alright, don't cry anymore. I am the wind that is wrapping you.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
Thank you. I always love you. I am the star that keeps watching over you.
I'm really glad that I could meet you. I am really, really glad.
I couldn't be here anymore. I had to go. I'm really sorry.
I had to go to a far place by myself.
Don't ask, "Where to?" Don't ask, "Why?" I'm really sorry.
I couldn't be by your side anymore.
Cherry blossoms is falling on the path where we always walk
It's falling on the river where we always play
Although we can't meet anymore, although it's lonely, I am alright.
I am glad to be born. I am really glad. I'm glad that I could meet you.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
It's alright, don't cry anymore. I am the wind that is wrapping you.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
Thank you. I always love you. I am the star that keeps watching over you.
I'm really glad that I could meet you. I am really, really glad.
She was sad now. She closed her eyes, force herself to cry. Her tears came out.
From the sound of your carefree steps in the afternoon where I waited for you to come home
I knew your happiest time.
From the things that you told me, everyday things, various things
I also know your saddest time.That is your laughter, your tears, that kindness
The voice that calls my name, the arm that holds me tight, that warmth
Although I can't touch it anymore, I won't forget about it. I am happy for it.
I am glad to be born. I'm really glad. I'm glad that I could meet you.
The lyrics was so painful. Like hundred arrows darted to her heart.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
It's alright. I'm here. I am the spring, the sky that holds you.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
Thank you. I always love you. I am the bird that keeps singing for you.There, the sky where cherry blossoms dance.
If you close your eyes, I'm in your heart.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
It's alright. Try to smile. I am the flower that is on your fingertips.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
Thank you. I always love you. I am the love that is inside your heart.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
It's alright, don't cry anymore. I am the wind that is wrapping you.
She was crying. Crying out all her pain, sadness. He was hurt when he saw her like that. He really wanted to touch her, hug her, comfort her. He dragged her and hugged her. She raised her head to look him. Suddenly, her lips met his. He kissed her. She didn't push him away. On the contrary, she wanted it. Wanted 'his' warmth again. Tears were still flowing. She pulled him closer to her and kissed him with all her passion. But the innocent smile of Asuran in her mind made she felt guilty. She pushed Athrun away.
"We can't do this!"she said to him as she's still crying. She run away without saying anything. He just stand there. He couldn't do anything. He was useless right now. His eyes also fill in tears. He couldn't tell her that he loved her.
"Sakura Sakura I miss you. No, I want to see you right now"
Thank you. I always love you. I am the star that keeps watching over you. I'm glad that I could meet you. I am really really glad.
I am really really glad.
She run away. Run as fast as she could. She run to her library. Run to 'him'. She looked the man in the column, in front of her. Still crying.
"WHY DID YOU DO THIS? I HAVE WAITED FOR YOU FOR A LONG TIME BUT YOU DIDN'T COME BACK! WHY?"she yelled as she smashed the glass of the column. Nothing replied her question. He still smiled and his eyes closed.
"OPEN YOU EYES AND LOOK AT ME! DID I DO ANYTHING WRONG? WHY DID YOU LEAVE ME LIKE THAT?"she sat down and press her face against the column. She looked so pathetic.
"WHY DID YOU STILL NOT COME BACK?WHY?"she whispered. She continued hit the glass of the cylindrical column. The glass cracked slowly and broke at the end. The water in the column was pouring out. Her hand was covered by her blood. The wound was bleeding. The outside wound was hurt but not as painful as the wound inside her heart. She was hurt because she lost 'him'. The dead man fell down and she caught. 'He' was in her arms. She looked 'him', cried loudly. She hugged 'his body' closely.
"TELL ME! TELL ME THAT YOU JUST SLEEP FOR A WHILE NOT FOREVER RIGHT?"she said. Her tears fell down on 'his' cheek. She shut her eyes, forced her lachrymal came out, again.
Athrun was looking for her every where. He went to her library and saw her sat down beside the broken column. Her eyes was bloodshot because of cry. 'He' in her arms. Athrun stepped closer to her and tried to comfort her again. But she slapped his hand away.
"DON'T TOUCH ME! YOU ARE NOT 'HIM'! 'HE' WILL COME BACK! 'HE' HAS PROMISED! 'HE' WILL COME BACK! 'HE' JUST SLEEPS FOR A MOMENT! NOT LEAVE ME BEHIND!"her body was cold now.
"'HE' DIED! CAGALLI! OPEN YOUR EYES! 'HE' WAS DEAD!"Athrun knew it's all his fault because he made her felt hurt. She set 'his' body lie down. Her palms held he shoulders tightly. He couldn't do anything except seeing her pain like that.
"YOU'RE RIGHT! 'HE' WAS DEAD! I SHOULD COMPLY THAT! MAYBE I SHOULD GO WITH 'HIM'!"she took a piece of glass on the floor and tried to cut her aortic. Luckily, he was fast enough to stop her.
"DON'T BE FOOLISH! YOU CAN'T GO WITH 'HIM'!" Neglecting her anger, he still hugged she used all her strength to get off him.
"LET ME GO! DON'T TOUCH ME!"she yelled tried to break free.
"NO! I WON'T LET YOU GO! I KNOW YOU LOVE 'HIM' BUT CAN'T YOU GIVE ME A CHANCE! YOU SHOULD MOVE ON!"he hugged her tight. He was crying.
"I CAN'T ! YOU ARE NOT 'HIM'! YOU ARE NOT 'HIM'!I CAN'T CHOOSE YOU! YOU DON'T REMEMBER EVERYTHING! ABOUT ME! ABOUT US!"she's still against him. Crying.
"I KNOW I AM NOT 'HIM' BUT YOU CAN'T CONTINUE LIKE THIS! YOU WILL HURT YOURSELF! BESIDES, IF YOU GO WITH HIM, I WILL BE LONELY LIKE YOU RIGHT NOW! "he yelled.
" WHAT CAN I DO NOW? HE DIED! I MISS HIM! HOW CAN I DO?"she cried and hugged him.
"I KNOW! YOU DON'T NEED TO LOVE ME! YOU SAID I LOOK LIKE 'HIM', RIGHT? SO JUST PRETEND! PRETEND THAT I AM 'HIM'! SUPPOSEDLY 'HE' HASN'T DIED BEFORE! ACCEPT ME AT ONCE! LET ME HEAT YOUR COLD HEART, AGAIN! CAGALLI!"he whispered in her ear.
"I LOVE YOU, CAGALLI!"he said to her, smiled. Maybe he suggestion wasn't bad. She had to try although she didn't know where it would be. But she truly wanted 'a love' from someone liked her even love. Like 'he' did to her. If 'he' can see her happiness, 'he' will smile.
Athrun was antiseptic and bandaged her wound. She touched her bruise and sighed. He felt so sinful.
"It's ok! You know, if you don't stop me, it doesn't matter. I can't die easily! But thanks anyway!"she smiled.
"Why can't you die? Why?"he asked. His curiosity erupted.
"My mother didn't talk about that because she died on the right time I was born. Until her death, my father told me. He told that a man loved my was childhood friend. But she didn't love him. She decided to marry my father when she grew up. That man raised his hatred and cursed my mother. She would never felt happy. So now, it's my turn. We can't die till we taste all the pain in this world. But it doesn't mean we won't die."
"So how can I break that curse?"
"I don't know! Heard that a sword can break every spell. But they have to pay a price."
"Wow!"
"Don't be surprise like that! It's just a rumor not real! So don't worry! I will be alright!"
He nodded "You should go to bed! You look tired!"
"You too!"
"How about 'him'! What will you do to 'him'!"
"It's fine, I can take it! Now, let's go sleep!"she said. He helped her to get out of the room. They went out. But suddenly, a woman with short brown hair appeared.
"My Lady! I have something important to talk to you!"Miriallia Haw said to the Queen.
"You came back!"the Queen replied but she realized that Miri was staring at the man beside her.
"My Lady, who was this man? He look like _!"she said but the Queen cut her off "This is Athrun Zala, my friend! Miri!" Athrun was frozen at the word 'friend'. But he understood, she couldn't accept him as Asuran right now. He should give her a period of time as long as he could wait.
"Nice to meet you!"he replied and shook Miri's hand.
"Now, you have to go to your room! I will go later!"she said to Athrun and then she left with Miri.
The Queen and her courtier were in their room, alone.
"I have investigated about him, My Queen!"
"So how is the result!"
"The DNA samples of two guy coincided. You can conclude that _"
"No! That's still not enough, I need more evidence ! We can't conclude now!"the Queen said.
" But, why! Why should you need to prove he is 'him'! No one can't share face, DNA, characters like the other people! Why can't you forget about him and move on! I think Athrun is suitable for you!"
"I can't forget it! 'He' was my first love! Besides, If they are twin, what should I do? Because he had no memories about me! We can't conclude it! I have decided, Miri. I want to know! No! I have to know it!"
"Alright! Alright! But make sure that at the end, you will not regret about what you have done!"Miri sighed .
"Thanks, Miri."she hugged her friend.
Outside the room, they didn't know a man had heard everything about their story. After hearing that, he left. His face looked pale. "I knew it! She didn't accept me completely. But it's ok. I will change you, slowly, slowly. Just need that I always love you!" he thought. Then the door of his room slapped.
