Part 21: The Silence after the departure.
"I'm sorry……..but I have to leave now…….." Allen silently watched the sleeping Lenalee, he bowed his head. The scent in the air created a sense of romance though the smell of alcohol floating in the air was mixed with sorrow.
"Regarding our promise………I will do all I can……..so………..goodbye……….my princess…….."
oOo
The piercing morning sun shone through. The snow which fell last night had almost melted away, the freezing cold unbearable. Lenalee opened her eyes.
She felt terrible.
She knew that Allen had gone.
She waited until the alarm had gone off, then she got up. Brushed her teeth and washed her face and made her breakfast.
Eating alone……
Every time she lifted her head all she would see was the cold hard wall.
Nobody was there to give her a gentle smile.
From school and back she went to Miranda's florist but when she arrived she had found Miranda in tears.
"What's wrong?..." Lenalee rushed over to her, "What's wrong Miranda?..."
"In the end…..Allen-kun still left……Although we all knew that he will have to return to England to cure his sickness……but………I never thought he'll just leave like this……." Miranda sobbed.
"I only found out yesterday that, the person who had been sending me money every month to order flowers but not picking them up, was Allen-kun……….He was……..going to use the flowers that he ordered here………. To………..to………. prepare for his funeral………"
"What…………….funeral?…………sickness?...Allen has a sickness?..." Lenalee began to panic, "Tell me!..."
"I………I'm not too sure………….but all I know is he was born with this sickness, that's why he's hair is white……." Miranda broke down and sobbed even more, "He left me this letter…………"
"…………" Lenalee grabed the letter and opened it with trembling hands…………
"To Miranda and everyone,
In the end, I had to leave. Although I had mentioned my sickness before, but I still thought I should leave an explanation. My chance of getting well is only 10. If I die, then guess it should be god's judgement to me.
The flowers that I have been ordering from Miranda, I hope to use in my funeral, because I really like your flowers, Miranda.
Lavi and Kanda. You should be clear about my situation, I hope that you guys don't come to my funeral, and I really don't want to see your crying and screwed up faces.
Krory and Miss Eliade. I really wanted to attend your wedding, but I don't think I can. If you can in future, I hope that you can take a photo of your child and give it to the priest so he can bring it to me in heaven.
Bak and Fou-baba. Ooops! Sorry, in the end I still couldn't change my address in calling you "baba". I hope you guys can get along and be honest with your true feelings for each other. If you don't mind, can you give me the ivory sword that you have in your shop, as a present Bak?
Then there's Rhode and Tyki. You guys………..I really don't have anything to say to you. I just hope you don't go bullying Lenalee. I know that it's your "special" way of loving someone, but I still can't stand it. Especially you Rhode! Don't randomly "chu" people, it will make people feel very perplexed.
…..Lastly. Lenalee.
If I am not able to return, I will do as I promised, my spirit will return to you. Although I know you will end up bashing me up…….but if you are happy that way, it will be my honour.
I apologise to you.
In the end I still didn't tell you the truth.
I don't know why, but every time I look at you, I don't feel like I should tell you……afraid that you'll become even more upset.
Although I haven't met you for very long, only a for 6 months, but I am really happy that I have met you.
Living with you was the happiest time, introducing you to my friends was the happiest, please look after them for me like you promised.
In the end I would like to say Thank-you to you.
Thank you for saving me from not wanting to return to this place.
The old me, never wanted to return to all the friends I once abandoned, but I have strength now.
Because Lenalee have given me strength. I am truly happy.
Therefore, good bye.
--Forever love you guys--Allen."
Her hands had lost strength; tears were flooding down her cheeks.
"You BAKA!" Lenalee started to run, non stop…….non stop……
She thought of when they were house mates. When they were living together. From the beginning when they met…….
Together………
He had introduced her to Kanda, to Miranda, to Krory, to Eliade, then Bak, Fou, Rhode, Tyki and Bookman.
He and She had helped Krory and Eliade together, steal Kanda's soba togther, take Lavi to Bookman together, sew Miranda's formal dress together, get Fou and Bak together, saved Tyki and Rhode together, protect the bar together.
He taught her how to dance, he had offered to go out for a walk on his birthday together, and told her the secret of the wishing bell tower……
Ah!...The bell tower! She needed to get there.
She needed to let god hear her wish.
She knew that Allen was an angel to her. He blessed her, smiled at her tenderly, gave her confidence and belief.
She knew that Allen was important to her. More important than just friends.
She liked Allen.
Really liked him. So she wished………… he can return. Quickly return.
She wanted to tell him. ……..tell him that she likes him…..
…….Since they had made a promise, he should return, right?
"I don't want your spirit to return, I want to see you flesh and bone. Allen………."
"Dong……."
"Please let Allen return quickly."
"Dong…….Dong………"
"Please let him return certainly."
I will be here waiting for him…….
