The Letter: Part 2
"What!! Well, I'm not surprised. Oh! I mean, this is big news. What are you going to do about it?" Gillium replied.
"Thanks for your sympathy, I think, anyway, I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do. I wasn't expecting this." Gene exclaimed.
"Well when two people have sex, sometimes human pregnancy is the result. You shouldn't be really surprised because statistically, one out of ten times a baby is produced from unplanned sexual intercourse" Gillium stated.
"Oh shut the hell up Gillium your not helping me here" Gene snapped.
Gillium replied, "I apologize Gene. I'm just telling you some information I thought you might want to know."
"Well I don't so I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would stop talking. I need some time alone, and please whatever you do, please don't tell Mel. It would crush her, so please" Gene said softly.
"Sure Gene. I won't tell her. Where are you going?" Gillium asked.
"I'm going for a drink. I'll be gone for a while so don't wait up for me" Gene answered.
Gillium replied, "But Gene it's only 4 in the afternoon."
Gene retorted, "I know what time it is. Don't worry about it. I will be home late so don't wait up ok?"
"Yes Gene" Gillium answered.
With that Gene stormed out of the kitchen with the letter in hand. A few moments later Melfina left her room and walked inside to the kitchen.
"Where did Gene go?" Melfina asked curiously.
"Oh hi Melfina, he left for a little while. He should return ,momentarily" Gillium answered.
"Oh, I thought he had to talk to me about something. Oh well. Do you know where Sazuka is? I told her I would meet her back here when I was finished at the mall with Aisha" asked Melfina. Gillium looked at her and said, "Oh I believe Sazuka is in the back. What happened to Aisha?"
Melfina started to giggle and said, "She's still at the mall eating. It should be a while until she comes home so don't worry."
Gillium smiled and left the room. Melfina walked in the back and found Sazuka. She was sitting on the floor meditating. Melfina waited until she was finished with her chanting and sat next to her on the floor.
"Hello Melfina. I was just about to make some tea. Would you like some?" Sazuka asked.
"Oh that would be great. Aisha is still at the mall if you're wondering." Melfina said.
Sazuka grinned and they both got up from the floor. They walked into the kitchen and Sazuka began to prepare the tea.
*****at the bar*****
"I can't believe this. I have a daughter. I am actually responsible for someone else's life. I knew I shouldn't have slept with that woman. I have to take cold showers more often" Gene said to himself as he finished his drink.
"Want another?" asked the waitress.
He looked at her and smiled. She was beautiful but then he bit his tongue.
"No, no more kids" he whispered to himself.
"Excuse me?" the waitress asked.
"Oh, nothing. I'll have another shot and then I'll take the check" Gene replied.
The waitress shook her head and left. Gene sat there absolutely motionless. He thought about his daughter and the life he could possibly have with her. He thought about how she smiled and how she laughed.
"I wonder if she will like me" Gene asked himself.
The waitress came with Gene's drink and said, "The bill is on me. Have a good one. Maybe we can get together sometime."
She smiled and waited for a response and finally Gene said, "Sorry but I can't. I have some responsibilities I have to take care of first."
Soon her smile disappeared and she walked away disappointed. Gene finished his drink and walked out of the bar. The day he thought was so beautiful became the worst day of his life. He continued walking home and finally reached Starwind and Hawking. Gillium answered the door and by looking at Gene's face he figured he didn't want to talk so he just opened the door. Gene walked inside and sat in his room.
Passing by, Melfina saw Gene and asked, "Gene where did you go? I thought you wanted to talk to me?"
Gene just looked at her and said, "Well now isn't the greatest time either. I, well, I have, oh never mind."
Melfina said, "No you can tell me. Whatever it is I promise I will help you just like you promised me you would help me find my identity. You never broke your promise so I won't break mine. Please tell me."
"Oh fine, but this is very serious and I want you to understand that no matter what I will always love you" Gene said.
"You love me?" Melfina asked.
"Yea, that was the news I was going to tell you before, but now I got something else which is much more important to tell you" Gene replied.
Melfina sat down next to him and said, "I love you too Gene Starwind."
He smiled and kissed her. He pulled back and looked into her eyes. She was the most important woman in the world to him. He knew that he wanted her for the rest of his life. No one else mattered. She was the star in her sky that would shine forever. He pulled her close and kissed her again. She put his arms around him and held him. They kissed until there was a knock on the door.
"Oh my god! Gene! Melfina!" Jim screamed as he ran out of the room.
"Shit. Every time with him" Gene said as he ran after him.
"Oh dear" Melfina exclaimed.
"What!! Well, I'm not surprised. Oh! I mean, this is big news. What are you going to do about it?" Gillium replied.
"Thanks for your sympathy, I think, anyway, I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to do. I wasn't expecting this." Gene exclaimed.
