Chapter Four
……….
"What do you mean that you haven't done it yet!!!!" the silver haired man shouted at his worker as he slammed the black file in his hands to his desk, loud and hard!
The men with red/orange haired stiffened as he met the death glared that his boss throws at him. He swallowed his saliva, hard and he can feel the pain went through his throat.
"Are you mute now?!!! I ask you this simple question and I aspect some answer!!!" he shouted again, losing his passion.
"I'm sorry sir… It just… because…" he stammered.
Yzak inhaled a lot of oxygen he needed as he close his eyes. "You!!! You better work the paper now and hand it to me this evening!!! It's important for our company next meeting with the Murata's co!! Do it now or I swear you, Rusty Mackenzie will suffer from a jobless!!! Got IT?"
Rusty nodded then he hurriedly leaves the furious boss office. Yzak sit back at his chair and lean against it. He then recovered the earlier said file, opens it, and read it with his glasses on. He read it carefully and thoroughly as his hands play with his Dunhill pen only for singing that cost him around five hundred dollar. He feels relax, with a quiet office and only him and his paper works alone. Small satisfaction smile curved on his face.
Pang!!
"Ye-Za-.K- Ku-n…"
The voice saying his name with some high pitching melody tune and the sudden banging of the open door made him frowned then bang his head on his desk before turning to face the person that he more than knew.
"What now, Allster?"
"I told you to call me Fllay."
Fllay Allster, his newest secretary and the daughter of Gorge Allster, the famous Lawyer who always wins his cases 'inside' or 'outside' (random argument with random people) the court.
"What I call you, it doesn't matter women! I'm your boss!" he said almost shouting and you can see her getting on his nerve.
He even wondered, why oh why did he ever approve this women application! Oh yes! How could he forget? Her father is their personal lawyer. Because of his parent gratitude towards him as he mentioning about her daughter looking for a job, they accepted her immediately. Yes, without concerning him, the Head of this Company!
"Oh… come on Ye-za-k-kun," she whined while pouting cutely. "I only work here so I can get closer to you. Don't you feel lucky?"
The whining gives him the Goosebumps as he rubes the back of his head recklessly. "Yeah… damn lucky," he muttered sarcastically.
"Come… lets go get some lunch!" she told him as she tugged his hands making him loose his balance and fall to the ground. "Ops!" she squeaked with her hand covering her mouth.
Yzak stand up with a 'really' pissed off looks visible on his face. "Before I blow up, get out NOW!!"
Fllay rubs her ear nonchalantly. "You already did Ye-za-k-kun…"
"Don't call me Ye-za-k-kun!!! Now, get out women!!" he said it out loud as he shoved her out from his room.
"What about lunch?"
God!! Is her brain made out of a bean peas?!
"NO!!!"
With that, he slammed the door shut and locked it. God! That woman is so impossible. Does she know the words 'fear'? He yelled at her, refused her cruelly, shoved her violently and even glared at her with his so famous death glared, she still clinging to him like a magnet. He sighed heavily. He wants to fire her, but she works with contract. He wants to kill her so badly. Damn his consciousness, stopping him and came up with several reasons why he should not do the killing. What can he do to make this woman stop following him everywhere like a stalker? Stalker? He shudder just thinking about Fllay following him 24/7.
Zeez…zezz (A/N: Is that the way the vibrate sounds? Haha!)
Yzak jumps from his seat, surprised by the sudden sounds of his mobile phones at his desk creating an unpleasant melody. He hissed angrily as he flip open his phones, without even looking at the caller ID, he yelled, "What Now Allster?"
"Wow…wow… there. Is that your new way saying 'Hi' to your best friend?"
Hearing the so familiar male voice, Yzak sighed at eased, praying a grateful pray to the god that the caller was not Fllay.
"What do you want Dearka? And since when I'm your best friend?" he asked him coldly, but deep down he just feels glad.
"Since like forever," he answered him playfully.
Yzak shook his head as a small smile plastered on his lips.
"How's your day with Allster?"
"WORSE!" Yzak answered him firmly and he can hear Dearka let out a laughed. "Not funny! Elthman!"
"Sorry man… Judging by the way you yelled at me, I can't believe you give Allster your phone number…" Dearka told him.
Yzak hissed, "Don't be stupid! She found it out!!" he then let out a long heavy sighed.
"Change then."
"Tried and Failed! God, that woman is so persistent! Anyway, stop talking about that sneaky bitch. What do you want?"
He can hear Dearka laughing happily, "I want you to come to my wedding next weekend. Think you can make it?"
Yzak raised one of his eyebrows, though he knows that his friend would not be able to see it, "To witness the day of the dirty-flirty Mr. Dearka Elthman finally going saint? Sure… I wont miss it for the world!" he playfully mocking him.
"Whatever Joule. At least, I have a beautiful wife maybe soon a little adorable kid."
"You guys expecting?" he asked rather surprised.
"Two months. That is why we move the wedding date to next weekend…you will soon to be an uncle! How cute," Dearka said, whining cutely.
"Shut Up, Dearka!"
Dearka only laughed, "By the way, please tell Cagalli this. We tried to reach her but failed."
To think they in the same Island, he smiled meekly. "Sure."
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Here, Mrs. Zala lunch. I change it to chicken mushroom sup with a fried chicken with lemon sauce." Klueze give her the tray that filled with a bowl of soup and a plate of chicken. "Em… kids love fried chicken, don't know about the sauce though," he added before he went back to continue his work.
Cagalli watches him until he disappeared form her sight. She smiled. Klueze never failed to amuse her. He seems in his own world where people can only look but cannot reach. She shook her head as she went to Lenore's room, carefully holding the tray. She was about to knock when she heard something.
……..dark side of the moon,
Twelve of them shining bright in vain,
Like flowers that blossom just once in years,
She furrows her eyebrows then slightly opens the door so she can take a peak inside it. She almost drops the tray she was holding when she saw Lenore singing as she dance in her room.
They're dancing in the shadow like whispers of love
Just dreaming of place where they're free as dove
They've never been allowed to love in this cursed cage
It's only the fairy tale they believe.
She listened to the voice as she closed her eyes. Lenore has such a wonderful voice.
They're dancing in the shadow like whispers of love
Just dreaming of place where they're free as dove
Hey, wait a minute. Lenore sings the song that she sang to her couple of days ago and she looks less like a kid. Well, she acts like her own age. Could it possibly be she remembers everything? A random thought keep coming out from her mind that she did not realize she was opening the door widely. The singing stops and Lenore looked at her with emotionless stared that makes her heart beat rapidly. She smiled awkwardly to the emotionless mid-age women in front of her.
"Ca-chan… Is that Lenore's lunch?"
"Eh?"
She looked back at Lenore who smiling brightly at her as she runs towards her happily. She blinked several time. What?
"Le…Lenore-san?" she said awkwardly.
"Ca-chan… I'm hungry! Lets eat," 'the now acted like kid' Lenore tugged her sleeves and she followed her, still blinking in surprised.
Okay… this was odd! What just happened here? Cagalli stared at Lenore as she eats her chicken happily. She frowned. Is it her imagination? However, she did saw her dancing, singing and acted normally. Emotionless stared, what was it?
Knock…knock…
The soft knocking made her shifted her stare and glance to the door. There, stood the navy haired man with a soft smile curved on his lips. She stands abruptly, almost stumble to the floor as she balanced herself, holding the nearest hard object besides her. She can feel a hand help her stands firmly as the emerald eyes looking at her with questioning mix with worried looks.
"You okay?"
Cagalli nodded with a hint of redness on her cheek. She just made a fool of herself. She does not know why she does that, but what she knew that his smiled makes her heart goes wild.
"How are you, mother?" he asked his mother that finished eating half of her chicken and drinks half of the sup.
Lenore chuckle cutely, "Lenore is not Ath-chan mother."
Cagalli noticed the sadness on his eyes, but then it went soft and he smiled as he kissed her forehead, lovingly and earned more giggled from Lenore as she whined it tickles her. The blond girl just watches them with a glint of happiness in her eyes. She does not know why, but her just happy to see the smiling face of his. He looks cute like that. But when he is in his serious mode, she finds him quite irresistible. It just her opinion, there is no deep meaning about it. So, don't think too far.
"Dr Mwu's going to be here in less than five minutes."
She looked at Athrun as he sits beside her and his eyes still lock at his mother, watching her playing with the unfinished sup. "Dr. Mwu?" she questioned him
"Oh… Mwu La Fllaga. Our personal doctor," he explained to her with his eyes sometimes glancing at her eyes, capturing the light of the fiery amber.
She nodded, somehow feeling familiar with the name. Mwu…Mwu… em… He said Mwu La Fllaga, right? She froze. Omigosh!!! Uncle Mwu? Here? In PLANT? How can she forget her uncle and his wife leaving in this very Island? Moreover, the most importantly, he is Zala's doctor. Her heart yelled as she panicky trying to find some excuse to get the hell out of the room. Before she came up with any excuses, there was a knock on the door. In front of the wide open door, stood a man with a blond slightly curly haired, with a clear blue eyes and a muscular body hiding behind the white shirts his wearing matching his black long pants, smiling neatly at them. As he approaches them, Cagalli calmed her self and telling herself there is no way her uncle would recognized her for they haven't meet almost for three years.
"Dr. Mwu, thank you for coming," Athrun thanking him as he shook his hand politely.
He introduced Cagalli to him and motions him to take a sit while he bringing her mother to him.
Mwu secretly glanced at the blond girl that trying her best to avoid him. He smiled as he examined Lenore Zala who keep protesting and trying to get away from him. After all tiring struggles, Lenore find herself getting sleepy and after several minutes she went to sleep. Athrun lied her down on the bed and Cagalli helped him. Then again, for the third time, someone knocks at the door.
"I'm sorry to interrupt you sir, but your friend is on the line."
"Okay, Luna. I'll be right there. If you'll excuse me…"
Then Athrun left the room with Cagalli alone with Mwu…and sleeping Lenore. Mwu crossed his arms around his chest as he watched Lenore. "So, what are you doing being a maid here, my cutie pie niece?"
"Stop calling me cutie pie, Uncle!" she pouted.
"Think by avoiding to look at me will make me pay no attention to you?"
"Well… actually, I was thinking so you would not recognize it was me…" she corrected him as she sits beside him. "How's aunt Murrue? And Neo?" she asked him.
Murrue Ramius Attha aka Murrue La Fllaga is her aunty, her father little sister while Neo is her 7 years old cousin.
"Why don't you just see them for yourself," he suggested. "Well, back to my earlier question, why are you a maid?"
"Exploring my youth?"
O..kay… That was smooth Cagalli, yup! Smooth…
Mwu just shook his head. He knows Cagalli more than his brother and sister-in-law knows about their daughter. Before, when the blond-haired girl in front of him still in the middle school, he caught her working at one of the famous sport shoe shops at Heliopolis. When she in high school, he accidentally saw her in ice cream polar. No! Not eating ice cream but serving ice cream to the customer and he can see his niece drooling to have some too. Of course, his lovable niece does not know that he knew about it.
"I really don't care about it anyway… I just knew."
She swallowed hard her saliva, "Yo…you knew?" she stammered while saying those simple sentence, beginning to feel ashamed if his uncle know about her true intentions.
"I'm just going to make a random conclusion that you just a workaholic…"he said, giving a pull stop on this conversation and the blond girl sighed softly. Wait? What does he means by workaholic?
"Has Lenore-san been acting weird lately?"
Cagalli shrugged. She acted weird every single day. Who will think it is not weird when they see a grown up woman acting like a kid anyway? Right?
"Ah!" she gasped as she remembers one thing that happened that noon, "I think she acted normal this noon when I caught her dancing and singing the song that my mother use it for my lullaby."
"You mean the ancient song of Junius Seven Kingdom?"
Cagalli nodded.
"I think I knew a way to cure her… but then again, it has to be her to help herself."
"Are you sure?"
The sudden happy voice makes the both of them jumped slightly from their seat as the familiar navy blue haired man smiled apologetically to them.
"Junius village…" Mwu told the man with emerald eyes staring at him eagerly. "It's the key," he continued.
Athrun nodded.
"However, is not a living village anymore after that 'abnormal occurrence' happened thirty years ago, how are we suppose to find any hint of clue to her missing pieces of memories?" ask the blonde, furrowing her eyebrows.
"Nevertheless, you have…. No… you MUST find it. It's the only way to regain her back to normal as she was before."
Athrun nodded again. "If that is the only way…"
"I will try to help…" Cagalli told him with a look on her eyes that assuring him she meant those words.
"Thank…you…" he said softly as he gazed at those pair of eyes that seems to capture him and drowning him breathless every time that amber orbs caught his emerald one.
Mwu caught the 'glint' in Athrun eyes as he stared at Cagalli that smiling happily at him. A small sighed escaped his mouth as he muttered in his heart 'innocent youth'. Why? Cagalli, when it come to feelings, she just too dense. Athrun most likely did not notice his own feeling just yet. So… it is fair to say they are just pure innocent and you rarely seen anyone like them in this kind of era.

"Heine Westenfluss, Heine Westenfluss… Heine… Heine…Heine Westenfluss again…Heine…" muttered the long black haired girl with sunglasses covering her eyes as she looks at the magazine in one of the book shops at Zaku road.
She began to frowns, feeling a little bit annoyed when every single magazine cover in the shops revealed the gold haired man smiling seductively. She tapped her feet as she crossed her arms around her chest and looked angrily at the man face.
"Where is my face covered magazine?" she hissed angrily and began to search every corner of the magazines stand until she found what she looking for.
She smiled brightly as she scanned the lovely girl with curly black haired tied in one ponytail wearing a cute milky-pink bikini posing maturely as she smiled cutely. She looked to the right then to her left. When she thought there was no one watching her, she hugs the magazine before putting it in front of the rows. Making her covered magazine more revealing than the others.
"Well…well…well… Isn't this the ever so sweet Meer Campbell, the top actress putting her own faces magazines in the perfect place where the world will witness it…"
"Shut up, Heine!" Meer hissed angrily as she tried to look calmed when people started to look at them, whispering their given name but neither of them knows if they were the real one.
She approached him, leaned her face to him and stop when it's only an inch away, "Stop saying my name out loud before they know it's me!" she whispered angrily at him.
Meer Campbell is the top actress in the PLANT Island. She idolized Lacus Clyne, the top singer before she settled down in year C.E 74 living comfortably with her husband, Kira Hibiki Yamato. She fantasies to be like her and she did change her look like her before. Singing at top of her lungs, duplicate the pink princess voice. However, when she meets the real Lacus and she advised her to just be her, she discarded the look and backs to her usual self. Nevertheless, she still adored her.
She decided to change her carrier field to become a professional actress. Her talent discovered by Jibril, the famous film director in ORB. With his guidance, she finally becomes what she is now. A successful actress and just last week her forth horror film went to the top of the Weekly Cinema charts. She loved by everyone and she loved everyone that loves her. However, apparently she hated the man that standing in front of her right now even though he loves her. Well, Heine love… it always lead to just a one nightstand. Just one 'heavenly' nightstand!
"Wanna have a cup of coffee with me, sweetie," he asked her, ignoring the angry face she thrown at him.
"In your dream, you freak!"
Heine just let out a small laugh, "That's why I want to make it real once in a while. Not just staring at you in a dream, but in this real life… too," he said as he brushed his hair with his both hands, one of the tricks to make the woman melt.
"On the second thought, stop dreaming of me…" Meer told him as she slightly feeling goose bumps.
"I can't. But, if you do spent more time with me… who knows," he answered her coolly as he smirked.
God! This man is impossible!
"For the Last Time Mister, no! God, where is your Mary? Kristine? Lavender? Or anyone! Call them. Stop bothering me!"
She stomped away from him and mumbling something that only she knows what is it. Since their first meeting in that Evolution Magazine Company, he keep plastering at her making her restless in anger. He is getting on my nerve! She sighed heavily as her eyes soften. Stupid Heine!

Meyrin, Stellar, Shin, Auel and Sting smile with satisfaction as they left the cinema building. The girls keep talking about the film they just watch while the boys only shrugged, looking at the over exciting girl friends. It Sunday and they always meet on Sunday to do their regular activities. Watching a movie, either rent them and watch at Stellar's place or just go to the cinema. Then, they will just eat somewhere, fills their tummy, sit back and enjoy the sunny whether on Sunday.
"Oh me gosh Mey-chan, it's Vino," Stellar said excitedly as she tugged the red haired girl sleeves.
Meyrin frowned, "Who's Vino?"
Stellar put her hands on her hips. "The one who send you the love letter yesterday, Vino Dupre," she reminded her friend.
Meyrin put her hands on her cheek as she blushes, remember the love letter she got yesterday. Auel who is listening to them, interrupted them rather rudely.
"Vino? The one who obsessed with machine giving you a love letter?" he asked as he stabilizes the tone of his voice so they can't detect that he was feeling jealous.
Shin wrapped the sky blue haired boy shoulder as he smirked playfully, ignoring the glared that the boy gave him. "Eh… I don't know Neider likes Vino…" he teased him.
Meyrin, Stellar and even Sting who knew him more than anyone looked at him in awe. Auel blushed madly as he strangles the messy haired boy and he shouted, "I'm straight!!" to his poor left ear.
"Let me go, Neider!" Shin struggles to free himself.
"Apologize, "Auel demanded.
Shin nodded, "okay…okay… if not Vino then, you like Mey!" he said it aloud as he freed himself and immediately hiding behind his blond girlfriend.
Stellar shook her head but like it when her boyfriend shows the childish side of him.
"You…Asuka!" he yelled at him, wanting to punch him on his face but Sting hold him preventing him to do so.
Auel face covered in redness. Not because of anger, it is because he was embarrassed. Saying I like Meyrin aloud, that stupid Asuka! He cursed the rare red eyes boy angrily in his mind as he avoids the questioning look Meyrin give to him. He had to admit though he likes the red haired girl for several months now. He does not know when it started but when he realized it, he was already finding himself needing her. When he confessed to himself that he likes her, Shin happened to hear it and keep teasing him about it. Damn that Asuka!
"Vino is one tough rival, Auel," the green haired boy said to him while he patted his friend shoulder.
"Shut up, Sting!" he muttered, out of anger or frustration, Sting cannot figure it out.
"Move fast," he whispered his advised to his friend then he catch up with their friends who started to leave.
How was he supposes to make a move? By staying beside her, he feels nervous like hell! Of course, he tried his best to acting normal and eventually, it work or maybe Meyrin is just too dense to sense it. (A/N: The same goes for you to Auel!) He shook his head and catching up with the rest of his friend, glancing secretly at the laughing Meyrin, his life complete just like that...or will it be?
"Auel, What's wrong?"
He startled a bit as the red haired girl moves to his side, looking at him worriedly.
"Eh?"
"You spacing out. Is there something wrong?" she asked concerned, almost made his heart jumps rapidly.
He shook his head and smiled warmly, "No…nothing."
Stellar, Shin and Sting watches the two in front of them with a warm smiled curving on their faces. Well, except for Shin, he smirked evilly at those two, thinking something that it is so complicated to describe (or it's just me, xb). Auel put his both hand at the back of his head, looking to his left as his eyes wandering.
"Em… So, what does he said in the love letter?" he began to asked, glancing aimlessly to his surrounding.
Meyrin face flushed, "Just… just saying he want… to meet me… on Monday," she told him as she played with her finger.
"You are going to?"
"Eh?"
"Meet him?"
Meyrin just closed her eyes. She does not know what to do, and she does not even know Vino. She only knew that boy interested in machine and top students in Maths. "Maybe…" she finally said it.
"Well… good luck then."
With that, he walked away leaving Meyrin looking at him with confuse. What happened?
-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx-
"Thank you, Dr."
Athrun shake Mwu hands with gratitude. He finally found a way to cure his mother. Now what he only has to do is to reschedule his journal and go to Junius Village.
"All the best, Athrun."
Mwu wear his black coat as he began to leave. He winked secretly at Cagalli and the blond girl just smiled. They watched him as he disappeared from their sight.
"So…" Athrun broke the silence.
"I'm going back to your mother's room," Cagalli cut his words and began to leave him.
"Wait…"
The blond woman stops as she looked at Athrun who looking at her softly. "Yes?"
"Thank you… I mean, when you said you willing to help me… I really appreciated that," he told her with his most gratitude smile covering his face.
Cagalli just let out a small chuckle, "No biggie… after all, she is my responsibility. You pay me for that, right?" she give him one last assuring smiled, then she leave him alone.
Cagalli Hibiki… he repeated the name in his brain. He doesn't know why, but he just think that this woman is 'something'. When he asked Luna about the closeness the blond girl with Shiho, she just shrugged while Meyrin told him that they seem like a long lost best friend. If they were, where did they meet? When? He knows he sounds nosy, but some part of him just want to know about the blond life, before she in this mansion, where does she live? He knows at ORB, but where? Where is her parent? Does she have someone? Em… that is funny, why the thought pops in his mind.
"Are you observing her?"
He startled by the sudden grumpy voice that he familiar with, "Father!"
Patrick snorted, looking at the fragile son he had, "I'm bringing Meer with me. Take your time and get to know each other," he told his son and he called out Meer name.
Soon, the long black haired girl wearing a tight pink shirt and a short black mini skirts appeared in front of him, giving him that she think it is purely 'cute' smiled dancing on her lips. Her eyes sparkle with glittering stars and loves as she spotted how handsome and manly Athrun were.
"Hello Athrun, I'm Meer Campbell…" she introduced herself, shoving out her hands hoping for Athrun to give a peck on it.
Instead, Athrun just shake the hands and smiling at the girl, though his mind cursing his father and wondering why he has to bring her here. "Nice to meet you, miss Campbell…"
Meer pouted as she clings into Athrun arms, making the boy step backwards looking at her with pure shocked.
"Just call me Meer, Athrun-san… I'm soon to be your wife after all…" she told him cutely while her hands messing with the man hair.
Athrun glances at his father, angrily. Then he realized, his father was long gone leaving him with this…this… Meer 'girl'.
"Ha..ha…ha…" he laughed awkwardly as he tried to push the hands that holding his arms, making him uncomfortable. Seriously, this girl holds him so tight that his hands getting numb. "Okay….Meer, shall we drink a cup of tea as we getting to know each other?"
Meer clapped his hands and nodded happily, releasing his arms making him sighed and tried to figure how to make his arms save from this girl.
"I'm gladly willing to let you know all about me, Athrun-san… Where should we start?"
Athrun sighed. All about her? Then this must be a long…long…long… getting to know each other session.
