Chapter 8
"Miguel Aiman"
...what! thought Issabella... Miguel? How? How can that be?...how...why is it not Athrun...father...
"As for Athrun Zala, he shall remain as a green-uniform unless, like i said, he performs well in this mission by asscorting the gundams back to the main ship.Well, thats all for now, i believe that all of you are rather tired now, you all may leave except Issabella, i believe that the chairman would like to hear your review of your trip to Orb". said Patrick Zala.
"yes sir..."
As the others left slowly, Issabella sneaked a glance at Athrun. He looked...sad...Issabella was rather shocked,even though she knew that that was suppose to be an expected reaction...but...Athrun...why was it not Athrun...Athrun excelled in everything he did...that was rather obvious...then, she realised...the problem had to do with her father...
When all of them left, Issabellas asked her father.
"Father! I don't understand! why...why is Athrun not promoted? He's your son!"
"Issabella! how many times must i tell you! It's Director! not father if you want to call me when i am working! and, also, regarding why is Athrun not promoted, that is based on his recent results in training, and, as a Director of Zaft's defence forces, i cannot be biased! I cannot promote Athrun just because of the fact that he is my son!"
"you still refuse to forgive Athrun do you?" said Issabella, looking hard into her father's eyes"all because he all because he said that, isn't it! Athrun was just a child then! how would he know that that was so coincedential! How would he have thought that that would cause mum's death!"
"Issabella! I warn you! I am starting to lose my patience! This has nothing to do with your Mother's death!"
"It wasn't even really his fault! so what if he had said that! So what! If he hadn't said it, Mum would still have gone! wouldn't she!"said Issabella, ignoring her
"It was HIS FAULT! all your mother wanted was to please him! and look! what happened to her!"yelled Patrick Zala
"All because of some strawberries?"Yelled back Issabella" All because Athrun said he missed Aunt Mabel's strawberries?" All because of that!"
"Issabella! STOP IT! Athrun's not getting promoted, that's that. Live with it! this world is not as easy flowing as you think! you get promoted if you perform well and not if you are lousy! and stop pulling your mother's story into this!
Just as Patrick Zala finished his sentence, chairman clyne's secertary walked in, saluted, and said
" Director Zala, Chairman Clyne say he will meet Miss Zala now...and reminds you to...um...stop shouting so loudly...even of you want to practise...um...your vocal..um...cords..."
As Issabella walked away with Chairman Clyne's secertary...she was fighting her urge to laugh...and not to show her weakness to her father...
