A Tearful Reunion
Gene and Jim went out to find some parts for the Outlaw Star. It's been a little battered ever since that fight with the Kay Pirates, and since they were gone repairs needed to be made. Melfina was left alone. Melfina remembered when Harry showed up with a bouquet of roses hoping she would come with him.
It has been over 3 days and Melfina stayed in her room. The light penetrated the room looking like elegant sunbeams. She laid in bed sound asleep. Apparently she cried herself to sleep.
Harry also was living in pain. He wondered about Melfina every second of his life. He too remembers when he came with a bouquet of roses. He got up and when he got to the door he remembered when he hit her. He looked at his bionic hand. He gritted his teeth.
"I'm a monster." Harry said with tears coming down his face.
"I may hurt her again, but I so want to see her. Then again she may tear my heart up like she has before." Harry was pacing wondering if he should see her or stay hidden. He noticed that there wasn't anything to come home to. Ron was dead thanks to Gene Starwind. Half of his world came crashing down. Melfina was his other half. He wanted to see if that half still existed. He had no choice but to go.
"I must see her. Melfina I'm so sorry. Please understand." Harry bolted out of the door. With all regrets staying behind her. He knew what he did was wrong and he isn't the same person like before.
Melfina still remained in sleep. She dreams about Harry's last moments of life. She feels his hand onto her cheek and how he vanished in a whisper of wind.
"Harry!!!" Melfina shouted into her sleep.
She woke with beads of sweat trickling down her cheek. She swore she just felt his touch just then. Her fingers tightened with more guilt and despair. She feels cursed and alone. Such a baron on a young girl's back. She knew in the back of her head she wasn't THAT guilty of his murder, but for some reason it was a whole lot better than just seeing him die thanks to Hozonko's hands.
A loud thumping noise came from the door.
She dried her tears figuring it was Gene. If he saw her crying he'd be mad as hell seeing that she'd thought about Harry again. She stood up and walked slowly toward the door. She was breathing heavily and her heart was thumping madly.
She opened the door not to find Gene but to her a phantom from her past, A phantom that came to haunt her more and more. She slammed the door. She then heard some mumbling from outside and then knew he was no phantom and who she saw was of the real being, the man in her dreams and nightmares. She opened the door. And called out to him.
"Harry?" Melfina said in a tongue of questions.
"Melfina.." Harry said it like it was of a haunting melody.
He hung his head as in defeat. Melfina looked confused but then thought that he thought he was going to be rejected once again by his angel.
"Melfina, I won't bother you any longer. I just wanted to see your face once again. Please don't be angry at me." Harry said in a voice of sadness and defeat.
"No Harry don't go. I'm glad to see you. I've been dreaming about you. I wanted to see you." Melfina said with eyes full of tears.
Harry could tell she's been holding these feelings back for some time. Yet he was shocked that Melfina would say something so sad but yet so beautiful at the same time.
Melfina held her head down. More guilt flushed within her body. Her body quivered, her faced within her chest covering it from the world.
Harry came beside her and embraced her. He also cried. He wanted for so long to hold his angel. He could feel her pain. He could relate, he too had this little piece of Hell.
"Don't worry Melfina. I'm here for you. Just let it all go." Harry said with a tender voice.
She didn't resist. She buried her head within his black shirt. He squeezed her tight but not to the point of pain. He felt her small body hold his waist. He was her lifesaver. He rubbed her head in a relaxing motion.
"We need to go somewhere else. I need to talk with you. If Gene sees us.." Melfina trailed off. She was thinking of Harry's safety and security. She knew Harry wouldn't stand a chance against Gene's Caster. He held her hand and led her to his home. He noticed that she was still suffering even after being held by Harry.
When they came the place was silent. Everything was clean and looks like it hasn't been used in some time. She found an old recliner that was full of dust and looks like some spills on the arm. It looks like It's pretty old. Harry was silent. He thought about Ron. That recliner was his chair. He always sat there when he was planning a heist or killing Gene Starwind. Melfina looked at Harry. He looked distraught.
"Harry is something wrong?" Melfina said looking into his violet-red eyes.
"That was Ron's chair. Ron's dead you know." Harry said full of grief.
"I didn't know he died. I'm so sorry Harry." Melfina said in low voice.
"I thank you for your concern Melfina." Harry said lovingly.
"So what did you wish to talk about?" Harry said hoping to change the subject.
"I just wanted to see you. Ever since the Leyline I've thought about when we last met. I'm just sorry I found out so late that you loved me." Melfina said in a voice of depression.
"Melfina." Harry said in a guilty tone "I've thought about you too. I've wanted to see you and I just want what's best for you. I just hope that one day you will agree with coming with me. My angel I've dreamed about it. When I first saw you I just knew that we should be together, and when I found out you were a bio-android just like me I knew we were destined. Only we can understand each other."
"Harry. I'm still unsure about going with you. One side of me says that I should go with you while the other tries to restrain me. I just don't know what to do." Melfina said with confusion.
"Do what your heart says. I always thought I could win you over by force. But now I know that I have to win you by heart. I will no longer pressure you. If you go with Gene that's fine. I just want you to be happy. You deserve that. But if you go with me I'll do anything in my power to make you happy. I promise that and I promise I won't hurt you."
"Harry that was so profound. I can tell that you really had that hidden within your soul. It's just when I found about me being just a puppet." She started to cry.
Harry caught her before she hit the ground. It stabbed him in the heart to see her cry. He wanted to take that from her and put it onto his shoulders.
"Your no puppet. You're more than that! You're a wonderful person, and my eternal angel. I'll love you no matter what. You will always have a place in my heart and in my home, you can stay and talk to me when ever seems fit to you."
Melfina looked up at him like a child. She couldn't believe her ears. Not one drop of selfishness. Gene was never like that. She felt her heart pounding and her pulse rising. She hasn't ever felt this way. She squeezed tighter on his chest. She was careful not to hurt him. He was like a warm blanket. She could tell him anything and he wouldn't be angry. She could tell he was trying so hard not to make her angry and leave him. He too was like a child. It was tough for him not having any parents.
She too could relate. She didn't want to let go but then Gene would know she was gone and try to force the truth out of her. For the first time ever she wasn't afraid of being near Harry since the Leyline.
Harry felt so alive. His dreams came true, hopefully she'd agree to come with him but like he said he wasn't going to pressure her. He was going to let her make her own decision.
"I love you" Harry whispered into Melfina's ear.
Her body went limp unto his shoulders. She wrapped her arms around him. Surprised yet rejoiced he responded to her action by kissing her lips. The very kiss he was trying to make before he died. She wasn't backing away because of the action. Instead she remained. This is what she wanted. Someone to talk to and help her when she needed it. Usually Gene was always at work or arguing with Jim or Gillium. Harry's kiss kind of made her a little shy and nervous.
Harry could feel her body getting colder.
"Am I making you uncomfortable" Harry asked softly.
"No. I'm fine." Melfina said also softly.
He held her small, delicate, and satin like face onto his strong, muscular, arms. She looked up at him and gave him a thank you for being with me smile. She too held his face. He enjoyed it as she rubbed his cheeks side to side.
This was truly a forgetful moment.
