A few days passed. He tried to take courage. She was a little distant towards him.
Then he entered Gara's room. She was half asleep. She was side sleeping. He stood behind her and hugged her. He whispered in her ear:
"Forgive me. Please, forgive me...I'm a fool without you."
She smiled and brought his hand close to herself. He closed his eyes and leaned on her. They remained so for a while. So she sat on her bed. He knelt. Holding her hands, he said:
"I'm sorry if I couldn't say it before. I love you. I can't be away from you."
"How long I waited for this. Even though I knew it would be impossible."
"You..."
"I've liked you for a while. Human feelings still remained." She laughed a little. "Like a little girl who thought she would win the heart of the great leader." She looked up. He got up and sat beside her. He wrapped her in his arms. She rested her head on his shoulder. Then he faced her and brought her close to himself. He touched her face.
"Wait till I command the Gorma, and I'll change it for us. No law, nothing will separate us."
"Can we meet any time?"
"Sure we can." He smiled.
They were ready for an amazing moment of their lives. His lips slightly touched hers. They kissed. His arms wrapped her again. They fell lying in bed.
"Shadam! Shadam! They're calling you! Don't you hear?" Zydos shouted as he walked toward Gara's room after he entered Shadam's room and didn't find him. The major approached the door. The couple heard his footsteps. They stopped kissing and rose from the bed. Zydos opened the door.
"You were..."
"Talking! We were talking and...you need not know the rest." Shadam ran to the hall.
"I know...I'm very aware..." he laughed. Gara smiled too. "Wait, where are you going?"
"Where he will have to go?" she asked.
"The chamber meetings."
"Thanks." She ran after the colonel. "Shadam! Go to the chamber."
"Right." He offered his arm. "Would you like to go along with me?"
"Of course." They smiled and walked arm in arm.
