THIS IS A SHORT AND SAD CHAPTER

Chapter Ten: Sayounara No Basho E

"So… We have to leave before you guys. We'll take the shuttle that will head directly to Aprilius"

"I knew that already", Athrun nodded, "Take care, Kira, Lacus. I'll leave half an hour later"

"See you at our wedding, Athrun, Cagalli", Lacus waved at them both, smiling gracefully.

"When will it be held?", Cagalli asked her.

"Maybe at summer, three months from now", Lacus answered.

"And where will you hold it?", Athrun asked.

"Aprilius, for sure", Kira answered as he walked side by side with Lacus, "It won't be a big celebration, though"

"I see", Cagalli waved at them, "Take care, Kira, and you too, my soon-to-be-sister-in-law"

Both of Kira and Lacus walked further, but when they nearly arrived at the departure gate, they turned at Athrun and Cagalli, smiled and waved at them. After that, they continued walking forward, and a few seconds later, they were already unseen.

"Well", Athrun sighed, "It's still fifteen minutes before your shuttle leaves to Orb"

She replied him by nodding hesitantly.

"When will your shuttle leaves, Athrun?"

"About fifteen minutes after yours", he answered. He realized that she's been avoiding him.

It's not like she's avoiding him, although it did seem like that. She's just afraid that she might not be able to leave his side if she gazed at him.

"Cagalli, I…", he said, but she promptly interrupted him.

"Don't say anything", she cut, "I've known it already. And I believe that you have too…"

He nodded bitterly. He knew it all. They were going to be separated again. Another eternity of not seeing each other would occur between them for the second time. Both he and she had to accept it, like or dislike. So he just stood there, watching her checking the security locks at her luggage.

She checked her luggage carefully, but no matter how focused she was at her current activity, she still could feel his staring at her. It didn't make her feel uncomfortable though, she didn't mind he stared at her. He could stare at her as much as he wished. But his staring sure had made her so hesitant to return to Orb.

If she were given a chance to do anything she wanted at that time, she would blissfully tear her ticket into pieces, throw her luggage away, and run into his warm embrace, saying nothing but feeling his soothing presence upon her, and stay beside him until death parted them.

But it was impossible. And she couldn't do it either. So she just stood there, feeling his staring upon her back, and inhaled deeply in order to take care of the mess that had occurred inside her head.

"Well, it's about time", she turned at him, saying, "I have to go now"

"Cagalli"

"Hmm?", she replied in confusion, "What-", but when she was going to enquire him about what he was going to say to her, he suddenly grabbed her shoulders with his hands, and he shared a chaste kiss with her in a surprise.

She was very startled, her amber eyes widened as she felt his lips upon hers, which gave her a light and chaste kiss. Both of them broke apart quickly after the sudden kiss, and he had found himself staring at her face.

"Athrun?", she asked at him, but he answered nothing as a reply for her question. He just kept staring at her. He tried to remember every details of her before the time to be parted again came. He tried to remember even the slightest detail of her, how she blinked her eyelids, how she gave him a confuse look on her face, and how she gaped at him, just the way she did everything.

He ignored her calling his name. He knew that he didn't need to answer it verbally. So he just dragged her closer to him, and he had his hands cupped her face. He enclosed the gap between his face and hers, and when the gap had disappeared, he placed his lips on hers, once again.

He kissed her, and this time, he forced his brain to memorize all what was happening at that time.

Her eyes widened again. She didn't expect Athrun to kiss her for the second time, and she was afraid of the probability of getting caught. Maybe some reporter would take their pictures while they were kissing, and they published to the whole world, putting it on the headline. She wanted to count that as the reason for her to stop the kiss.

She tried to push him so he would stop, but she couldn't. Because she knew that even though she wanted to push him away and slap him as hard as she could on his gorgeous face, her body would just betray her commands, especially her lips, which Athrun had claimed upon. So, she had decided to follow her instincts, she could care less to what would happen next. Those maniac reporters included.

A few milliseconds had elapsed, and she had had her widened eyes closed slowly. She could feel her cheeks warmed and her heart beat faster and harder that she thought that he would hear it clearly. But she didn't care about that again.

She's always on my mind,

From the time I wake up 'till I close my eyes, she's everywhere I go

She's all I know

He still had his lips upon hers, and he could feel the warmth of hers flew into his body. He knew that she was responding to his kiss, and for that reason, he felt that a sudden temptation to deepen the kiss had occurred from inside his self.

She could feel his breath were shorter than before, as well as hers, and he pressed his lips more firmly onto hers. She was about to give up, she couldn't break apart from it, not until-

"Good afternoon. Attention please. The shuttle with the flight number GA-2163 destination Onogoro Island will leave in five minutes. All passengers…"

The announcement before slapped her mind, and she quickly pushed him hard so he would stop kissing her. And he reluctantly broke the kiss.

Though she's so far away

It's just keeps getting stronger every day

"I really have to go now", she said as the announcement continued and repeated itself. She collected her luggage, and then walked away through the departure gate, leaving him in despair.

She didn't say anything to him. She just turned her back to him and walked away.

Even though no words were spoken at that time, they both had known it well enough already. Athrun didn't say anything to stop her; he wanted to, but he wouldn't, and he couldn't. He could just at least say that he'll be with her or else, but saying that would make him betrayed her once more, and hurt her. He had promised her once, heck, both he and Cagalli broke the promise perfectly.

The situation was neither he wanted to promise her again, nor did she want to believe in him once again.

And even now she's gone

I'm still holding on

She walked a single step, and then she suddenly lost in her thoughts. She couldn't find the right words to say to him. 'See you later' or 'see you soon' would be very irrational and unrealistic, they didn't even know when they would meet each other for the next time, and they knew the chances are so small; maybe they were smaller than a hole in a needle. 'Goodbye' and 'farewell' would sound so sad to both of them. Although they knew that they weren't meant to be, deep inside their broken hearts, both of them still wished that they would meet each other again, even though it would take months, years, or decades.

So, she left him without saying anything.

So tell me where do I start

'cause it's breaking my heart

Don't wanna let her go

Cagalli Yula Athha, the politician who was well known for her ideals as well as sharp arguments, now was speechless. She couldn't find the correct words to say to a single guy named Athrun Zala. She was famous for her ability to speak her mind bravely in front of many politicians, yet she was unable to face a certain person.

Coward, she thought, her fists clenched, I am such a coward.

Maybe my love will come back some day

Only heaven knows

He just stared at her, watching her back gradually disappear. Even at this time, he still managed his mind to remember every slightest details of her. The way she touched him, the way she blushed at him, the way she responded to his kiss, even the way she turned her back at him and walked away, he carved it painstakingly into his mind.

And maybe our hearts will find their way

Only heaven knows

His feelings for her were crashing him, causing pain from inside his heart. The airport was crowded and noisy for sure at that time, but to him, it was a complete silence.

And all I can do is hope and pray

'cause heaven knows

When she was nowhere on his sight anymore, he knew it was his time to leave. So, he left that place with a blank mind and an aching heart.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

She sat on her seat, sighing so hard that it startled the person who was sitting next to her. She didn't care about it. She just wanted to give herself a good rest. It took five hours straight before she would arrive to Onogoro, perhaps she would just sleep until the shuttle arrived there.

But she couldn't sleep, not with that chaotic mind of hers.

All she could think inside his head were only three subjects, Athrun, Athrun, and Athrun. No other subjects.

She realized something.

The chances that she might forget him was the same with the chances that a horn would grow up from a rabbits head in spite of it's' ears.

Easily spoke, it was nearly impossible.

She remembered every single moments that happened when she was beside him. When he called her 'princess', when he held her hand, the way he embraced her, and the way he kissed her.

If she tried to recall hard enough, she could even remember the sensation she felt on her lips when he kissed her. And when she did it, she unconsciously touched her lips with her index finger.

I'm a liar; she thought deeply to herself, I'm a big liar. Not to mention a coward.

Author's note: OMG! This is the shortest chapter I've ever write! Tee hee, just enjoy . The song at this chapter was titled 'Heaven Knows', sung by Rick Price, and this is none of my properties. Warner Music's properties. Although this is quite an old song, I like it very much, so desperate --

Sayounara No Basho E : dunno the exact translation, but if you want me to convert the title into English, it would be 'to the place when we will be parted' (Indonesian translation: Menuju Perpisahan, geez sound so bad! My Indonesian Literature scores are... Uurrghhh those teacher are trying to kill me for sure. It's amazing how most students at my school like English more than Indonesian, whereas Indonesian is our mother language. I prefer English too, honestly.)

Special thanks to My Saviour Jesus Christ… Thanks for everything! I LUV U, GOD!

I like Jay Chou------------- :)

God bless you guyz…
