Chapter 15: Saying Goodbye
Shang stopped his horse in front of a house that was a pretty good size and had a beautiful garden both in the front of the house and the back from what he could tell, this was Bao's house. He heard from some of his men that this was Bao's house and Mulan was now living in it since her parents and her house were all gone.. He dismounts and begins to walk up the steps to the doorway. He knocks three times and patiently waits. Suddenly the door opened to reveal Bao. Bao a little surprised to see him gave him a smile and bowed slightly, Shang bowed back. "Shang....well I never thought I would see you here."
"Well I didn't really plan on seeing myself here either." Shang Paused and cleared his throat. "I was wondering if Mulan was here, I need to speak with her." Shang asked.
"Yeah she's here....but before I get her, may I ask what you need to say to her?"
"I want to tell her that me and my men are leaving....its called a goodbye Bao, what did you think I was going to come here and say?"
Bao became silent and shook his head, "I'll go get her, please come in." He opened the door wider allowing for Shang to come into the house."Wait here ill be back."
Mulan entered the hallway and stopped when she saw him, she was only about five feet away from him with a towel in her hand. "Can I help you?"
"Yeah I was wondering if I could have a moment of your time to talk to alone. If it's not too hard to ask?"
"No, No...where should we talk?"
"I prefer to talk outside if that's alright with you?" he asked.
"Yeah its fine." They both walked out the door and closed the door behind them and made their way to the back near the garden. They walked for some time in silence till they made their way under a tree that gave them some shade and some privacy. Mulan turned to face him and crossed her arms, "So....what do you want to talk about."
"Actually I'm saying goodbye. Just so that you don't come looking for me again and this whole thing happens again."
Mulan made a fake smile upon her face to show gratitude and thanks. "Well I appreciate that." She stepped closer to him till they were only inches away. "I want to thank you for everything and also apologies for if I made you mad at me or anything. But I hope that you and your men will enjoy your life." She placed her hand on his cheek, but he didn't move. "I'm going to miss you...." She lowered her head and her hand until it was about to his chin that's when he grabbed her hand and held it against her face. Mulan jerked her head up and looked up at him, even though his face expressions didn't change she looked deep into his eyes and swore she saw something different but that's when he quickly looked away and turned his attention to the doorway to the back of the house where Bao was standing, watching them. He lowered his head and chuckled. "My presents here has disturbed your future husband, I must leave...." He gave her, her hand back and walked around her and back to where he kept his horse. Bao and Shang didn't even look at each other when they passed they just went their separate ways. Bao approached Mulan and noticed that she just stared at Shang the whole time until she had no site of him.
He was gone now, out of her life and Bao's now, Bao sighed heavily, He put his hand on her shoulder and she instantly brought her whole body into his and hugged him tight. He wrapped his arms around her and whispered to her telling her that she would be ok.
Shang galloped away from Mulan, the town, the people and everything. He felt something weird within him like something he had never felt in a long time. His heart seemed like it was weeping but why? He had no feelings for her. Did he? He asked himself. He shook his head and continued his way to his men. He slowed his horse down to a trot as he approached his men and yelled to them, "Come on guys! Let's go home!" They cheered and roared and all made each of there horses gallop away once again, it seemed to everyone that they weren't just leaving just some old place, it was as if they were leaving something that they loved but had to leave it again. Shang who was in front of all cantering away looking proud and strong within his stride. People from the towns watched as they all began to leave. Their faces seemed depressed and tearful; Shang and the others noticed this and their hearts all seemed to weep. Shang watched as a young girl approached him, he slowed his horse done to a walk and made all the others walk as well, she reached up with flowers within her hands, and he slowly took them and proceeded on. But it wasn't just him that got flowers, so did some of the other men, all of a sudden flowers were being thrown in front of all of them. It almost seemed as the citizens thanked them for what they did and that fact that they were the solders that defeated the Emperor and his men, the ones who caused them trouble and heart brake. Shang almost had a strange feeling like he was loved, loved as a hero, a citizen of their country. Shang gulped it all up and cleared his throat, "Move quickly men! We must leave!" Shang announced.
Mulan sat down on the chair in the kitchen with her hand on her head that she used for support for her head. She moved her spoon around in her soup and stared at it with a blank face. Bao took his last sip and placed it down in front of him and stared at her, "Mulan aren't you hungry?" Mulan looked up and noticed that she had caught his attention. She began to eat her soup slowly. "Mulan I fear that you're going to be depressed at our wedding, I wouldn't want you to be upset because of him."
"I'm sorry it's just that...well..." She looked at Bao and saw that he was concerned, "I'm going to miss him that's all. But I'm ok."
"Ok." He stopped hearing the front door open, "That must be my mom."
"Hello you two, how are you?" Asked Bao's mother who was carrying something large. But she made her way to her son and gave her a hug and kiss on cheek then went over to Mulan and gave her a warm hug and kiss on cheek. This was Mulan's new home and she was grateful that his mother allowed this.
"Were good." Answered Mulan.
"Here come with me Mulan I got you something." Mulan followed Bao's mother to a bed room which looked like hers and set what she carried on the bed. Mulan watched as his mother began to take out a beautiful dress and lay it out on the bed. Mulan smiled, it was a gorgeous dress and it looked so expensive. "Do you like it?"
"I love it! Thank you." Mulan smiled and gave her a hug and kiss. The dress was red, beaded with dark red beads, and it had a square neck. The sleeves were beaded and flared out at the ends. From the waist down it fluffed out. The dress was long and would trail as she walked.
"We'll ill be back in a second I'm going to talk to Bao for a second if you want you could try it on and see how it looks and feels?"
"Thank you..." Bao's mother closed the door behind her letting Mulan sit on her bed and admire the beautiful dress. Images of Shang were in her head and she wished that they would go away. He was gone now and there was nothing no one could do about it.
I am so....sorry! I am so stupid this I totally had to redo b/ her parents are dead and the house was burnt down and I put that they were alive so I just had to redo this chapter! Once again I am so.....sorry!!!!! Please continue and read this chapter over again! And thank you for pointing that out to me!
