Chapter 4: G

"Cagalli, Cagalli…"

Cagalli heard the voice keep calling her name, the voice felt so familiar in her thought. She started to open her eyes and found herself stood alone, not inside the house on the honeymoon island; instead she was on the roof top of the very high skyscraper. She looked around with confused, she were supposed to lay down on her bed with her husband. She still wore a dress pajama. The view around her was all the buildings, below were streets filled with many cars. She started to feel her body shaking from how high she was standing from the ground below.

Cagalli step back with confuse, she could felt the strong wind blew against her body, made her skin so chilled. She kept walking backward, did not realize her body almost fell off the edge of the building.

"Ahhhhhh!" she screamed with fear. Cagalli suddenly lose the balance and started to fell off the building. She then swung her arms to lift her body back up, she could felt her heart dropped down to the ground. She started to realize the view in front of her and the sea, it was surely the Orb

Then she saw explosions and fire scattered around the whole city. Her eyes widen with shocked. The buildings started to collapse and burnt down, the sky now change from dark to red and full with black smoke. Cagalli placed two hands around her head 'what the hell is going on!'

"Cagalli"

She heard it again, the familiar voice calling her name. She turned her face back and saw the tall figure stood behind her, she moved forward to see who's in front of her and she was amazed of what she saw.

"Father?"

She could not believe what she saw, it was Uzumi Nara Athha the former representative of Orb and more than anything, Cagalli's father. Her eyes then filled with tears, she thought her father already died from the self-destruction just before the beginning of the first war. She ran towards him.

"Father? Is that you?" she still kept running toward her father but the more she moved, his figure started to move far away. With shiver, she could heard him speak;

"The city's burning, the enemy's approaching Cagalli, please protect Orb and everyone."

"What?" Cagalli asked "Father, what's going on, please… please don't leave me"

With frighten, she saw her father's body started burning with fire, like the time he did the self-explosion, his body flexed, he looked so much in pain. She then covered her eyes because she could not see such this heart-tortured scene. No, this cannot be true…she just saw her own father's body burned in front of her eyes. Cagalli started to lose her mind, keeping screamed and wish to stop this nightmare.

"Father!"

"Father please don't leave me."

"Father"

"Cagalli, Cagalli…"

"Father! No!"

"Cagalli, can you hear me? please wake up!"

"FATHER!"

"CAGALLI!"

Immediately, she could felt her eyes opened , panted heavily ; she saw the pair of emerald eyes stared at her with so much worried. Her shoulders were gripped firmly by his two hands. Her body was lying down on the bed but now full of sweats on her face and her back. Still, it could not compare with the things she just saw. Tears started to fall from her eyes, she could not hold back anymore.

Cagalli then hugged Athrun tightly, putting her face on his shoulder. Athrun willingly embraced her firmly. He gently rubbed her hair and her back, he could felt the wetness from her tears through his shirt also on his hand, the sweat from her back.

"Cagalli.."

She hugged Athrun as tight as she could which he hugged her tightly as well.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's just a nightmare."

"Athrun…" She sobbed on his chest, he could feel again the wetness through his shirt. "My father … I saw him…and Orb…the city was burning"

He hugged the close, and gently caressed her back, tried to comfort her. Breaking the silence, his phone started to rang. He felt a bit annoy but step forward to pick up the phone. The screen showed the contact name 'Kisaka'.

"Hello, Kisaka-san"

"Admiral, I'm so sorry if I wake you up but there's a bad situation in Orb"

Athrun was shocked "What did you say?"

"There was the explosion at the parliament building but luckily only the main server room was destroyed" Kisaka explained him "No dead person, some guards were injured. But the worst thing is the data kept especially the criminal records cannot be recovered. Now all the guards have everything in control but we still need to discuss about the data. I'm afraid it might have been stolen."

"No evidence at all on the one who is behind this?"

"We have found the cover of the bomb used, Admiral" said Kisaka "after we have examined it carefully, we could know more about what might happen."

"Okay, if there's any updates please inform me then, I'll discuss with Cagalli first and see when we could fly back."

After he finished talking with Kisaka, Athrun turned to Cagalli and told her about the situation in Orb. Her face went pale but can still control herself. She started to think back about the scene she just saw, the fear that it might be true.

"Let's go now, Athrun." Cagalli said "I'm so worried about Orb."

"Cagalli"

"I feel sad that we have to end our honeymoon but… I… I could not just sit by when there's something bad happen in Orb."

Athrun could felt the care that his wife gave to Orb, as the representative of the country. But this time, not only her; this time the feeling was surely hurt him as well as the high admiral.

"Okay, but before we go you should take a rest Cagalli" Athrun thought with worried " you could not sleep almost the whole night right? I could tell. We will leave early."

Cagalli nodded before closing her eyes and lying back down to bed, she still tired from the less sleep last night. Athrun noticed that his wife was already in a deep sleep, he gently stroked her hair. His mind thought back about what his wife whimpered about her nightmare. Staring at her sleeping face, his wife must be really tired.

'Everything's gonna be fine… Athrun' this was the last thought before he decided to lie down beside his wife.

Next morning, Attha Mansion

"G?" Sai said with confused "what do you mean?"

He was walking inside the Athha's manor with Milliaria, they were discussing about what the investigate team have found after the explosion. Milliaria held the photo of the object which they believe it was the cover of the dynamite. although the force from the explosion made the metal to be dented but it could be seen the big gold letter 'G' printed on its surface.

"You're not the only one who want to know the answer Sai, everybody also questioned about this" she replied "that's the only thing we've found inside the server room"

He nodded "Too bad the entire servers were destroyed, I bet the culprit wanted to delete all the evidence to prevent us finding his identity."

"But the injured guard said the culprit is very strong in the fight-combat, he said he got punched and kicked and even avoid the bullets!. I bet he's not the human."

"What? If it's true, it would be like the action movie." Sai amazed

"You should not feel admiring him Sai! " Milliaria put hands on her waist and kept walking "the whole files of Orb were stolen and we still don't know why, this was like the start of the war! What if it… Ouch!."

"Milly!"

Miliaria suddenly stopped walking and could felt her body was bumped with a person walked on the corridor. She started to fall down to the ground but luckily Sai was fast enough using his arms to grap her body, or not she might have hurt herself. But the unlucky person has already fell on to the ground with books and papers were scattered all over the floor.

"I'm so sorry, are you all right?" Milliaria asked

Both of them looked at the person, she was the teenage girl like Millaria dressed in the shirt and knee-length office skirt, with the long straight black hair tied half a head, looking unconfident. "I'm okay, thank you. I'm so sorry it was my fault to not be careful when I walked"

Milliaria smiled back to her. The girl then got up from the floor and started to collect the books on. Milliaria and Sai helped her picked up all the books as well. Sai looked at the girl with curious. "Hmmm, how come I haven't seen you before?" asked Milliaria.

The girl answered shyly while collecting the books "I'm just started working here this week, Miss". Then three of them heard the footsteps approaching, Miss Myrna hurriedly walked toward them.

"No, no Miss Brown the library is on the other wing." She panted "oh Sai and Milly she's the new secretary of Lady Cagalli, she just came to work this week."

Milliaria looked at her with surprise "Oh! Really, you're the secretary then nice to meet you I'm Milliaria Haw and this is Sai Argyle, we are the crews of Archangel. And you're…"

"I'm Aya, Aya Brown." Said the girl "Archangel's crews are surely heroes for me; I feel so pleasure to meet all of you. I'm so sorry I just arrived here and still not familiar with this place and finally getting lost. Err, I think I have to go, very nice to meet you."

Aya bowed to three of them and began walking to the library. Milliaria then noticed that her friend still kept staring at the girl all the time, she have not seen him like this since he was engaged with Flay Allaster three years ago.

"She's very pretty isn't she?" she teased him, making him shuddered "You've been staring at her since Miss Myrna walked in."

"What? Me? No, of course not!" Sai refused immediately, she could see the red spot tint on his face

"It's already write on your face, Master Sai" Myrna commented "but I also think she's very beautiful as well. I heard that she graduated from the states."

"Really!" Milliaria said happily "I should meet her more often, I really want to chat with her more, right?" she used her elbow to poke her friend and walked away. Sai touched his waist and cried out

"That hurts you know"

Mobile suit base, Onogro island

Kira, Lacus and Kisaka was watching the deep red mobile suit landing on the base, then not so long they saw two people came out from the cockpit. Cagalli and Athrun were arrived at Orb. All of them were heading to the manor.

"Situation?" Cagalli asked her guardian

"We are examining the dynamite's cover, it was the only thing we've found inside the room" Kisaka replied "Hopefully we could know more clues about what was happen. You will also need to talk to the media about this Cagalli."

Cagalli panted "I know, but I wonder about the aim of the culprit for this."

"By destructing the server, surely the aim was to steal the data" Kira claimed "only the guards and IT staff could get access to the room" he exhaled "the possibility that it could be people from outsider or.. the insider."

Kisaka then turned on the screen for all of them to see the image "this is the dynamite we found, with the letter 'G'. I think it does have a meaning of something. Because it seems like it was designed very well, compact and efficient to blow up the whole room."

Athrun then stood up and looked at Kisaka "Kisaka-san, is there any of the past events or any of people who's got enraged by the government?"

Everybody stunned to what Athrun just said

"Athrun?" Cagalli shouted

"I think it might be high possibility, since the most important files stolen was the criminal's record." He informed "During the war, there were people who support or against the ideas of Orb. I believe the record is stolen because they want to find out something inside. But we rather be quick to figure this out. I'm afraid it will not end just like this."

Athrun continued "I know identifying the culprit is also important but we still need to know the reason behind the explosion too."

Kisaka replied "I do not like your idea much Admiral but we could try, I will inform the IT staff to help us. Mister Argyle has already came back, I could ask him to take this duty."

Cagalli stunned hearing the name "Sai? He's back?"

"Yes, Cagalli-san" Lacus giggled "He said he felt so sad that he missed your wedding but he did sent you the congrats email, and hope you're not too busy reading it."

"Really? too bad I haven't checked my email since I was too err.. busy" her face suddenly went red when she thought about her honeymoon with her husband. Lacus then understood and just giggled a bit.

"Did you two have a good honeymoon?" she continued asking them, and not only Cagalli; Athrun's face was getting redder as well.

"Lacus! How could I answer this in front of everyone?" Cagalli shyly answered, they have stayed for honeymoon only for 3 days but it was too intimate to be told to others. "The island was so nice, Athrun drove a small yacht and we visited Maldives since it's not far away from the island."

"You still got a lot to tell me, Cagalli-san" Lacus said and touched Cagalli's shoulders , she whispered to her ear "Did you like the dress Milly prepared for you?"

Cagalli found herself could not answered anymore, her face was now red as the tomato. It was only Kira who's the only one getting confused and curious.
