Chapter 3 Sweet Serenity
(Melfina walks outside toward the flowers. She smells the roses and blows the dandelions.)
Melfina-Look at all these flowers! They're so pretty!
(Notices a Lilly pond)
Melfina-Ooohh.
(Watches a frog jump from a Lilly pad to the water and landed with a splash. Some of the water tickled Melfina's cheek)
(Harry notices her from the apartment window)
Harry-She's so beautiful and calm. I remember when she used to fear me and despise me, and now she's living with me and has never been happier.
(Melfina walked away from the pond and spotted a clover patch)
Melfina-I remembered that if you find a four-leaf clover than it means good luck! I wonder if I'll find one.
(Looks but couldn't find one)
Melfina-Looks like there isn't one.
(Enters Harry)
Harry-What are you doing Melfina?
Melfina-Looking for a four-leaf clover.
Harry-Looking for good luck huh?
Melfina-Well no but I'd just like to know that I'd find one. I...I don't have to have one but It'd be nice.
Harry-(Smiled) You're nervous...
Melfina-Sorry I'm just....It's a lack of words.
Harry-(Wrapped his arms around her) I understand but actions speak louder than words.
Melfina...
Harry-(Nuzzles her)
(Melfina closed her eyes and goes limp)
Harry-Comfortable?
Melfina-Mmmm hmmm.
Harry-Good....Good...
Melfina-I want to thank you...
Harry-For what love?
Melfina-All my sadness, all my pain has melted away. I can live again with a clean slate, and it's all thanks to you.
Harry-I'm honored that I made you happy. It's my purpose and reason for living on this world. I want to be your soul mate and forever protect you.
Melfina-Sounds like a fairy tale.
Harry-It may sound like one but I can assure you that it'll be a reality soon enough. Just give me some time and it'll happen.
Melfina-Knowing you It will or has already begun.
Harry-(Grins) You know me too well don't you.
Melfina-Well I have been living with you for about 2 months. You've kinda grew on me.
Harry-(Snickers) I just love your choice of words. I just love everything about you.
Melfina-So do you think you could help me find some?
Harry-(Dreaming) Hmm??
Melfina-Some four leaf clovers.
Harry-Oops! I dozed off thinking about you.
Melfina-You're so funny Harry!
Harry-(looking)
Melfina-(Also looking)
Harry-(Thinking) She's so cute when she's nervous!
Melfina-(Excited) I found one!
Harry-(looked up)
Melfina-No wonder they're lucky. It was very hard to find.
Harry-I know something even more luckier to my heart than a four leaf clover.
Melfina-(Looked at him)
Harry-(Smiling)
Melfina-(smiling) Your sweet. You spend all your time thinking about me. (looks down at her clover) I think your right Harry. I guess a lucky trinket doesn't mean you'll get luck. I guess fate gives you luck or misfortune.
Harry-(Holds her) You're very warm.
Melfina-(giggles) Stop you're tickling me!
Harry-How am I tickling you love?
Melfina-Your hair is tickling my neck.
Harry-My hair won't be the only thing tickling your neck.
Melfina-(wide-eyed)
Harry-(Right hand goes down one her arms)
Melfina-(blushes)
Harry-(Eyes closed and his cheek to her shoulder)
Melfina-(breathing heavily but silently)
Harry-(Kisses her shoulder)
Melfina-(looks at him with a smile)
Harry-(looks at her like a small boy looking at his first love. A tear goes down his face)
Melfina-(looking majestic in Harry's eyes) why are you crying?
Harry-(looking sheepish) I'm not sure....
Melfina-(takes his hands) Now you are the one nervous. I've felt that way many of times.
Harry-(Strokes her hand) You're hands are so tender and innocent. You haven't ever shed anyone's blood. (looks at her hands as if he's seen them for the first time.) Such loving hands....
Melfina-Harry....
Harry-(Interrupts) I've led such a harsh life. Not even knowing my parents. I only had Ron.... You however Melfina....You didn't have anyone...
Melfina-(closes her eyes) That doesn't bother me anymore.
Harry-Why? Don't you wish that you had a loving family to keep you away from the evils the universe could throw at you?
Melfina-It's true that the universe can be cruel. But wishing doesn't mean it'll happen. I wish that we weren't cyborgs or androids. I've wished that so many nights in the past. Now that doesn't matter.
Harry-What changed your mind?
Melfina-Meeting another like me....
Harry-(looks at her with tears falling down his cheeks) I'll always be here for you.
Melfina-I understand that now. I understand what you said finally.
Harry-Melfina.....
Melfina-(holds him) It's going to be ok. You're just feeling depressed. Just think about happy things. Human beings do because they want to think they have no problems so they won't feel stressed. They don't want to think about murder, kidnapping, or hungry children. I know what you're feeling Harry. The universe is on your shoulders. Just put it down.
Harry-I don't think I can Melfina...
Melfina-I'll help you Harry...
Harry-Melfina...
Melfina-I guess now I'm feeling a little depressed. I guess that speech was for naught...
Harry-No it wasn't. Nothing you would say would be for naught.
(Melfina smiled)
Harry-I'm so happy that I made you smile.
Melfina-Are you hungry.
Harry-Nah.
(Harry's stomach grumbled)
Melfina-You stomach disagrees.
Harry-Well maybe a little...
Melfina-I'll fix you a sandwich.
(Walks in)
Harry-I could never say no to you Melfina.
