Chapter Four: The game is just beginning


"Hey Cagalli," Shinn wiped the dishes that were still wet, "How come I heard that you cried a few days ago?"

Her hand stopped from scrubbing the dirty plates, "I-I…don't want to talk about it." She then continued on washing the dishes. Shinn gazed at her secretly, trying not to catch her attention and he saw that her eyes filled with great amount of sadness unlike before, which was filled with much hope and determination.

Shinn sighed as he placed the dry plates on the rack to rest. His eyes looked at the sky, it was so sunny and it was the day to spend it on the outdoors instead of sulking silently and almost choking Cagalli to an early death due to his saddening inquiries.

"You know, I heard that there would be free ice cream at the park around three in the afternoon today…" his eyes gleamed in out most mischievous manner.

She dropped the poor yellow sponge, "Let's go" she said in a soft voice.

"I can't hear you!" he said sarcastically.

"Let's go to the park now, you idiot!" she shouted as she dragged him outside.

Shinn perked up. Things are going his way now. He took his cell phone and sent a message to someone to take care of the ice cream later that afternoon.

"Isn't this gown, beautiful, ne, Athrun?" Meyrin made a small twirl as she examined her gown closer. She placed it back to the rack and noticed that Athrun seems spaced out.

She pouted. It was obvious that he was thinking of something else that was bound to have no connection to her or whatsoever.

She sat beside him and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, "Is there something bothering you, Athrun?"

Athrun startled, "M-Mey-chan, have you already seen the gown?"

She clasped her hands to his own hands, "Athrun, is there something bothering you?" she feigned her sincerity in that statement.

Athrun shook his head and smiled a bit, "Nothing, Mey-chan!" he feigned his enthusiasm and it did seem to be enough for her to believe that his reaction was genuine.

"Okay!" she then smiled and went to the designer, asking for another design of a wedding gown.

Athrun the pouted again and thought of something that he should not because he was getting married within two weeks. He shifted his legs and tapped his chin thoughtfully, Why is she still in my mind? How come I can't just forget her? Oh…darn it!

His gaze then shifted to the outside view, which was the sunset. It was so beautiful, the combination of the different shades of amber! Again, he remembered her. Oh god, what will he do now!

Unconsciously, he stood up and walked towards the glass, touching it gently, as if he was trying to reach the setting sun, "Ca…galli…" he said to himself.

Meyrin heard him and she closed her eyes. She needs to remedy this dilemma or else the bride on their wedding day will change before she knew it.

She approached him and pulled the curtains down, holding his hand firmly, "Athrun…how do I look now?"

Athrun slowly turned and saw her that she was wearing the nicest wedding gown that he had ever seen in his entire life.

"…You're beautiful…" he expressed his immediate thought in a monotone voice.

Meyrin shook her head and held his hands firmly, "No…I'm the most beautiful! Say it again."

Athrun averted her gaze and looked at the closed curtains, hoping for the weak rays of the setting sun to pass through the room.

Meyrin held his hands tighter now, "Say it!"

Athrun shook his head, "I…I j-just can't…"

She has no other choice but to use it against him. She let go of her tight holding to his soft hands and reached for a small bottle inside her bag. She then opened the small bottle, "Athrun! Look at me!"

Unknown of his terrible, neared fate, he gazed at her.

She then let some of the liquid inside the small bottle run in her mouth and then, she stared at him, closing her eyes, she brought her face near to his and their lips met. She then let the liquid transfer to his mouth.

Slowly, Athrun felt his whole body became numb all of a sudden, his vision becoming blur. Then he fell on his knees and all that he remembered before his world became black was his first true love, a girl that goes by the name, Cagalli Yula Athha.

"Bring him to our room!" she commanded and her servants obeyed her.

She then opened the curtain, The light will never prevail…You will only find the true light within the deep darkness…and my dear Athrun…you have only felt the start of the true darkness…but never will you find the true light that can bring you back to that woman…you called your "love"…

"You're a kind a man, ne, Shinn?" Cagalli giggled at her own statement.

Shinn looked at her and giggled as well. It was strange, before they shouted at each other but now…they are here together as friends!

It seems that sometimes, fate is kind that it allows you to experience some events that may lead you to a good future.

"Hey Cagalli…" he finished eating his ice cream, "Is your life really sad…now?"

She stopped eating her ice cream, "Yeah…life sometimes is cruel…"

"I agree with you…" Shinn remembered how Stellar died. He knew that she had a hard time controlling herself and Kira didn't know her situation so he did what he knew was right and what would benefit everyone.

"Sometimes…I wish I could turn back time to correct the things that I knew that I didn't do well because I was too naïve during that time…" Cagalli suddenly spoke with great wisdom.

Shinn faced her, "But as what they say, 'You only have one shot at life so do your best all the time in order not to regret things later on in your life.'…"

Cagalli perked up, "Hey! Why are we exchanging serious words! We should be happy eating ice cream!"

Shinn was puzzled and sighed, shaking his head in confusion, "Yeah right…"

Cagalli held Shinn's hand, "Shinn…thanks for this afternoon. I got to go home now. It's dark already."

"It's hard to find your way home so stay at my place and you can go home tomorrow morning." He offered her.

She thought for a while and finally made up her mind, "fine. I'll stay at your place…besides, Kira might get angry because I didn't get to have his shopping therapy for myself."

Shinn understood and laughed at that joke, "Let's go now." He offered his hand and she gladly took it.

Is this a new start for Cagalli? Or is it another doomed fate?

"Meyrin…what happened?" Athrun touched his forehead and it was hot. He was surprised to find himself in their room.

She approached him and touched his hot forehead, "You just felt sleepy…my dear…I'm the most beautiful girl for you, right?"

He nodded, "Of course! Who made you think the other way around?"

She shook her head, "No one…just thought of it." She stroke his hair, "now sleep and get better. We have a long day ahead of use tomorrow."

Athrun agreed and after a few minutes, he felt asleep.

Meyrin went to his small desk and saw that he hasn't mailed the divorce papers yet. She then went to the post office, asking to mail the documents. As soon as the mail man received it, she smirked.

The game is just beginning.
