Chapter Twenty-Three: Once More, Once Again
At The Elthman's Residence…
"What happened to you!" Milly quickly took care of her husband.
Dearka sighed, "Well it all started…"
He narrated the whole incident to her…
Start of Flashback
"For this year, yes again, we will have a five week winter break. That is all I want to say and thank you. Again, a pleasant day to everyone." That ended the morning speech of Principal Joule. He went down the stage but he didn't catch site of his lovely secretary, Shiho. But he saw someone.
Indeed, today is a day of revenge as Yzak Joule strangled and wrestled the school prefect, Dearka.
"Stop it!" Dearka plead but today, as what I have said, is a day of revenge for Yzak.
He gripped his neck harder, "Why did you spread the news?"
"A-about what?" he pretended to act dim-witted not knowing that his response caused Yzak to harden his grip once more.
"You know it. About me and Shiho," Yzak now wrestled him. If you care about the students' safety, well, they know that their principal is a sport and likes to wrestle people, like Dearka and teachers, the guy teachers of course!
"Help me!" Dearka managed to squeak but the students passing by ignored his plea.
Dearka caught site of his daughter, "Jen! Help your daddy!"
She kneeled beside him, "That's your punishment and I have only followed your orders. Besides, if mom would be the one to punish you, you would be at the morgue or at the hospital's emergency room by now." She patted her father's head as if he was a dog, "Ciao papa!"
She stood and then left him.
This made Yzak grin at his tan friends, "Poor Dearka,"
Then Ezrael was just passing by.
"Want me to help you uncle?" he asked Yzak but he refused his offer.
Yzak noticed that Ezrael has a big kitchen knife, "May I borrow that knife. I'll return it to you or to Ms. Ramius."
Ezrael obliged him and gave the knife.
"Ez, give your old uncle a hand!" Dearka tried to get his nephew's attention but alas, he failed.
"Why would I help you? Besides, you don't give me a single penny during Christmas!"
He then left his poor uncle crying.
"NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" that scream was heard for about five minutes but no one in the campus bothered to help the poor school prefect.
End of Flashback
Milly gave him a good whack.
"What was that for!" he complained but shut his mouth as she glared at him.
"Sheesh! Why didn't you tell me! I should have exposed that in the paper!" she massaged her temples and kept on telling her self to stay calm and not to punch Dearka anymore…well, at least for tonight that is.
Jen was about to enter the room but headed back at her own quarters. She sighed and opened her book, "The more you hate, the more you love." She smiled at amazement in her parents' unique expression of their love to one another.
With Lacus…
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" the scream from Lacus Clyne-Yamato.
This made the twins, older sister Cagalli and younger brother Kira to ran faster than the speed of light in the kitchen.
"What's wrong…Lacus?" Kira was surprised. Nothing seemed wrong but why did she shout?
Cagalli patted Lacus' back, "Stay calm."
Lacus nodded and took a seat. She catch her breath and looked at them.
"Well?" they both inquired and looked at her.
"I…there's no more food at the fridge so we must eat outside." She said in a calm tone and Kira and Cagalli were, er, dumbfounded.
Before leaving the kitchen, Cagalli whispered to Kira, "Is she really fine?"
Kira just shrugged his shoulders, "Don't know." He replied back as they split their ways. Kira prepared the car while Cagalli went up stairs to call the kids down.
After ten minutes, they left the house.
With Athrun and (No! I can't type her name again!) Meer…
"Is that all, ma'am?" the waiter inquired and Meer nodded.
The waiter left.
Meer moved her chair closer to the table, "So Athrun, honey, how are you feeling now? Do you still a little bit dizzy?"
Athrun's gaze shifted at the floor below. He saw new comers that entered the front door. His eyes widen as he saw the two women in the picture inside his wallet.
"Ca..galli?" He said softly and Meer didn't hear but she saw his mouth move a bit.
"Pardon but I didn't hear you, honey?" she requested for him to make his voice louder.
His attention was drawn back by her request, "Y-yeah…I feel great tonight!"
She smiled at relief. She cannot be happy if her beloved Athrun is sick.
She looked at the spot where he was looking at before and saw Lacus.
She searched for a cap in her bag and extended it to Athrun. "Could you wear this?"
He looked astonish but nonetheless obeyed her at once and he also wore the shades she then gave him.
After three minutes, their meal arrived and they had less conversation.
"Meer, will you excuse me, I need to use the comfort room." He stood and she nodded.
He went down to the first floor where the comfort rooms are located.
He was about to enter the male comfort room when the door of the female comfort room swung too wide and cause him to be off balance.
His cap and shaded was blown away by the strong wind that entered from the main door.
The girl extended her hand and he took it.
"Thank you." He said and gazed at her beautiful amber eyes.
He shook her hand and left at once for his dear Meer was calling him.
Cagalli Yula Athha-Zala was just speechless and she wasn't given a chance to reply back due to the fast scenes she isn't able to comprehend at once.
Is that Athrun? No, it can't be him! She thought and went back to their table.
She slowly ate her food and kept on thinking about the young lad that looked like her husband.
With Athrun…
It was now about nine in the evening and his beloved Meer was now fast asleep.
He smiled at her as he gaze at her happy face. He doesn't know exactly why she is happy but he'll do anything just to make her happy.
Now, he was sitting on the chair in the veranda while looking at the bright full moon.
Beautiful. Was the only word that kept on repeating inside his head as he continually gaze at it. He noticed that the stars seemed to diminish…no, there was this one small star right beside it.
He laughed. He just felt laughing for no apparent reason.
He looked closely at the small star. Although it is small, it is trying its best to out shine the bright and gorgeous moon but it cannot. Probably, it even borrows some of its brightness from the moon itself or from the sun.
He sighed and brought out his wallet. He slowly opened it and looked at the dear picture inside. Somehow, he feels that he loves the two women more than he loves Meer. His gaze was attracted by the sweet blonde-haired woman's smile. Surely, she was smiling in order to make the person looking at the picture to remember her better, no, to remember her…until the end of time perhaps.
He touched that part of the picture as he closed his eyes. Somehow, she looks like the woman he collided with in the restaurant although the woman he met in the restaurant seemed older but nonetheless, it was her.
He sighed. He let that opportunity go. He just hopes that he will be granted another chance to meet that woman once more.
With Cagalli…
If only she knew that they are gazing at the same moon.
She laughed. She remembered Athrun again.
Start of Flashback
It was night. Yup, although it was dark, she enjoyed gazing at the beautiful moon for she was beside Athrun.
"The Moon
By Athrun Zala
Some say the sun is better for it signifies life but I conquer because the moon out shine it.
The moon might be seen only in the time that people rest but it helps drivers who are lost in the road by giving a tad light.
The moon is truly amazing, just like the woman beside me.
Although many conquers her ideals, she stand defiantly, chin up and smiles to convey hope to others.
Nonetheless, she is like the moon."
Cagalli giggled a bit, "You're no poet, aren't you?"
Athrun feigned his pout and Cagalli laughed aloud.
"Nah, just joking." She punched his shoulder playfully, "It's great, I love your little speech."
He smiled, "I'm glad you loved it."
She kissed his cheek, "Of course I do."
"Can't it be on the lips?" he received a hard pinch on the cheeks.
"No. Last time it leaded your hands in places it shouldn't be. "she reminded him.
Athrun sighed, "Okay." He just hugged her tight.
She laughed softly.
End of Flashback
"It really is you…right Athrun?" tears once again fell down her cheeks. Somehow, it was tears of joy.
