A Song For You

Ding-Dong!!! Athrun Zala ring the door bell and the gate automatically open by itself. He was holding onto a bouquet of flower, as he walk towards the backyard, 5 to 6 Haro jump towards him. He raises his hand, quick enough to catch hold of the pink Haro which was about to hit straight at his face.

All the Haro: ATHRUN!! ATHRUN!!!

Lacus: Ara? Athrun, you came.

Athrun: Konichiwa, Lacus.

Athrun walk towards Lacus, give her the bouquet and a kiss on the cheek. They walk towards the huge garden behind Lacus's mansion and they settle down under the shelter with some teas and snacks.

Lacus: How have you been, Athrun?

Athrun: I don't wish to talk about it. Everyday I must fight a war; fight against the EARTH Alliance and...

Lacus: Fight against Kira?

Athrun: .........

Lacus wait for his answer as she drinks her tea. Athrun look up at her and know that he can't get off without giving her an answer.

Athrun: Yes... How did you know?

Lacus: Kira told me when I was hold up at Archangel; he was feeling very sad about that.

Athrun: You know him for quite long. What did you think about him?

Lacus place her cup down and hold her necklace.

Lacus: I love him.

Song 6: A New Life

Athrun's eyes widen as he heard her answer. Lacus smiled at him, she then stood up and walk towards the balcony which was right before the sea. Athrun regained himself, and quickly follow her.

Athrun: Lacus, what do you mean by that?!

Lacus: That I love him? It was true, Athrun. I do love him and he loves me too.

Athrun: But you are my...

Lacus: Your fiancé? Athrun, don't lie to yourself now. Alright, I ask you a question, what do you felt about me?

Athrun: Lacus...I...

Lacus: Athrun, for all this years I treated you as my best childhood friend, I never treated you as my fiancé.

Athrun: It's alright, Lacus, I understand.

Lacus: I'm really sorry, Athrun. I hurt your feelings.

Athrun: It's alright, really. Actually I've been trying to tell my father to cancel this engagement, but he won't.

Lacus: I would tell him and my father someday. By the way, you and Kira are childhood friends, was it?

Athrun: Yah. We have been together since young. But we were separated when father and mother decided to move out to another planet.

Lacus: Ah! I remember that Kira has a mechanical green bird with him. It was so cute, it have been playing with Haro when I was hold up there.

Athrun: Hmm... does it always "Tori", "Tori" when it respond?

Lacus: Yes, that's the one! How do you know?

Athrun: It was a farewell gift to Kira from me. I stay over night, to make it for him before I left my home planet. Looks like he still treasures it a lot after this few years. But who knows that we were once two best friends, now had become the two greatest enemies.

Lacus: Athrun...

Suddenly Lacus cover her mouth and fell onto the ground. Athrun managed to support her before she fell hard to the ground. Lacus seems like she was about to vomit but she let go her hand and panted heavily, sweat were running down her head.

Athrun: Lacus, are you alright? Are you sick or something?

Lacus: I'm alright; I have been like this for the past few days. I'm also not sure why.

Athrun: Do you want me to get a doctor for you?

Lacus: No, I'm really fine. I'm used to it.

Athrun: You sure?

Lacus: Of course I'm sure. Don't worry about me. You should worry about yourself now.

Athrun: About me?

Lacus: Are you still going to fight against Kira?

Athrun: I'm not sure...

Lacus: Athrun, this is your decision; whether you want to fight or unite. Kira too, it was his destiny to face you again. Both of you cannot run away from it. Face it, Athrun.

Athrun: I will try to, Lacus. But now you need some rest, I've got to go now.

Lacus: Hm, mark my words, Athrun.

Athrun: I will, sayonara, Lacus

He kiss Lacus's cheek and went off. Lacus sat down on the benches, enjoying the sea breezes. The Haros were hoping around her and the pink Haro hop onto her lap which startled her.

Lacus: Haro, you should not do that. I will be angry if you hit onto it.

Haro: "Kira des, Kira des!! Aka-chan!!! Aka-chan!!!"

Lacus rubbed her tummy and smiled at Haro.

Lacus: If Athrun really call the doctor, he would be shock after hearing the doctor's answer. I wish that Kira was here, enjoying the joy with me. The joy that we have created a new life together.

STAY TUNNED FOR THE NEXT STORY.
