Indelible: is it enough?
Patience and Perseverance. The phrase kept echoing inside Cagalli's head, causing her to lose her temper. She admitted that she had such a short fuse such that an insignificant insulting word could make her winced and wrathful. She was indignant so easily. That was her character.
"Ms. Attha? This place is almost closed. Why don't you continue the work at your home? It's more convenient you know", a wizened and gaunt average-looking lady told Cagalli.
"Oh! Gomen."
"No problem really".
She got up and lumbered to the exit.
"Daijobuka, Cagalli?"
"Ah, Yes. I'm just feeling dizzy because I sit for quite some time just now. No worry."
"I shall take my leave here", said the lady after locking the entrance door of the shop. She then left Cagalli alone.
Cagalli then plodded home with somewhat a desolated look on her pale face. Her eyes were filled with grief. She felt insecure. She suddenly stopped her pace; quivering in the middle of the subway when she witnessed a girl was giving an expensive branded watch as a present for her boyfriend. They looked euphoric. She was mortified. She felt that she should not give Athrun this sweater for his birthday present. She then looked back at the shop where she was just now, and darted towards it. Right in front of the shop, which was named 'Neko-neko', Cagalli thought to herself. Should I give him? Or should not I? She felt weak. It is a handmade sweater… it's too… too… small for a gift. Too ugly. If I give him, will he accept it? How if he won't?
She then moved her sight at the ring Athrun had given her. It was such an unforgettable momentum. She remembered the first time she was so flattered and speechless when Athrun kissed her, although that was not her first time. She grinned with tears in her eyes. Her brown eyes were now soaked even more as the rain started to pour down. She looked up to the grey sky that seemed to be crying too. Raining, huh? She searched for a comfortable place so as not to make herself become wetter. Finally, she spotted one. After that, she squatted over there. What am I going to do? The rain is getting heavier. At this rate, there will only be an insignificant chance for me to get home. Everyone will be worried. She wagged her fingers, thinking a way out. She didn't have enough money to be spent for a taxi since taxi gave much more fares at night. If she went home by foot, there could be a possibility that the sweater would get wet since the plastic bag was no waterproof. That possibility might be happened also although she dashed like a jaguar to her destination. It seemed that she had to wait at that place for a night.
Sigh… I am hopeless…This sweater is not even done yet!
She then felt a chill that was sent to her spine. She was in despair, looked woebegone. She was so scared that Athrun might not agree with her point of view about her present to him.
"This absolutely sucks", she mumbled.
She hoped that Athrun would understand her true feelings. Although the gift was not so special, she wanted him to know how much had she loved him and that she would do anything to make him happy.
