CHAPTER 6: TOLLE KOENIG
"CAGALLI!" everyone called her name when they saw her faint.
Athrun immediately remove from his bed and let her to lie down on it. They quickly took a wet cloth and put it on her forehead.
" She is having high fever. Her head is burning!" said Athrun while his hand is on her forehead testing her temperature.
Suddenly Cagalli wake up and face to Athrun. " Athrun, don't go back to that place!" she said weakly.
" I won't. Please close your eyes and rest." Said Athrun softly. Everyone there now he is lying, he doesn't want Cagalli to worried even when she is burning in high fever.
Cagalli closed her eyes and catches Athrun's hand tightly. Everyone at that time look so sad and tired. It's too much for a day.
When Cagalli wakes up, she saw Lacus and Mirry stood there with a worried expression. She realized that Athrun, Kira and Dearka is gone.
" Where's Athrun? Where's Dearka? Where's Kira? Answer me!" shouted Cagalli.
" Cagalli…." Mirry mumbled.
" He went back to his house, didn't he? Why did he? Why did he want to hurt himself? I don't understand!" said Cagalli and immediately rush to the door and heading to Athrun's house.
" CAGALLI!" Mirry and Lacus shouted and followed her.
FLASHBACK
" I must go back there! I want to speak with my father." Athrun said after Cagalli fall asleep.
" But…" Lacus said.
" If you insist that you want to go, please allow Dearka and me go with you." Said Kira. And Dearka nodded.
" Okay, Lacus and Mirry stay here and take care of Cag. Don't let her go out. I know if she realized I'm not here, she will head to my house, please!" after Athrun said that then he rush out to the door.
END FLASHBACK
" Father, you can't continue drink alcohols like this. Mother doesn't want to see you become like this!" yelled Athrun.
" Shut up. Don't even dare to call her! You killed her, you murderer!" yelled Patrick Zala.
" Uncle Zala, it's not Athrun fault. Auntie loves him that's why she protect him." Said Kira.
" You fool! She protected him but she died." Said Patrick Zala firmly.
" IT''S NOT THAT ATHRUN WANTED HIS MOTHER TO DIED. HE HURTS MORE THAN YOU, HE SAW HER DIED RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM BECAUSE OF HIM. SHE PROTECTED HIM BECAUSE SHE LOVES HIM. AND SHE USED HER LIFE TO EXCHANGE WITH HIS. AND YOU WANT TO KILL HIM? DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND? HIS LIFE IS HER LIFE…AND YET YOU ARE HURTING HIM AND HE WILLING TO LET YOU HURT HIM TO LET YOU FEEL BETTER. DO YOU CALLED YOURSELF A FATHER? IT'S YOU WHO ARE THE ONE HAVE NO RIGHT TO CALLED HER YOUR WIFE!" a voice from the door shouted.
Everyone in the house looks towards the door and saw Cagalli, Lacus and Mirry. Lacus and Mirry gave them the I-can't-stop-her-I'm-sorry look!
CLANGGG….. think so?
Everyone look at the Patrick Zala. He drops his knife into the floor. And said " I KNOW..i know…I'm just running away. I know why she died and I know Athrun is suffering. How selfish am I? I'm so sorry, Athrun." He cried as Athrun went there and hugs his father. He said, " Father, you're back!"
Suddenly, the dark room became shine with the help of Lacus and Mirry pulled off the curtain that had hidden the sunshine. THE HOUSE IS ONCE AGAIN FULL OF SUNSHINE!
Cagalli version goes blur and just stood there and managed to said, "Athrun, I'm glad." And fainted again.
Cagalli once again wake up. This time she saw a light green colour ceiling. When walk out of the bed and saw a picture of a pretty lady and a young cheerful kid standing beside her. She smiled at the picture when she realized that's Athrun and his mother.
" Are you awake already. I'm glad" said a voice coming towards to her.
She turned around and saw Athrun. " How are you?" asked Athrun.
" I'm fine. How about your father?" she asked with a cheerful smile.
" How come you ask my father and not me first? " he joked when he saw her expression turned to thinking," I'm just joking. He's fine. He went out to go back to ZAFT cooperation." Said Athrun coming nearer to her to test her temperature.
" Hmm… no more fever but you still have to rest. Come on, I will walk you home." Said Athrun. Cagalli feel glad that he has change back into the Athrun she know and hug him. "Cagalli?"
" I'm glad you are okay. Don't dare to make me worry you anymore. If not-" she was cut short by Athrun kiss. He presses his lip onto hers. And she deepened the kiss. Few minutes later, they broke apart, " Cagalli, I'm glad that I have meet you."
BRINGGGGGG…..
" Hello? Cagalli is not here! Please leave a message." Cagalli faked the voices mail.
" Cagalli, wake up and wash yourself, I will be there st about 10 minutes. And please don't fake as the voice mail. Bye" and he cut of the line. Obviously, it is AHTRUN ZALA.
"Oh shit. How does he always know that I fake the voice message? Is it that obvious?" mumbled Cagalli.
She quickly wore her uniform which is a white long sleeve button top and a dirty red colour knee length skirt and a honey brown sweater our her and tied up her over shoulder length blonde hair into a two ponytail, one on the left another one on the right. She took her backpack and run down to her dining table to grab some dread for breakfast and rush out.
A few weeks had gone after that incident. It's now winter and Cagalli hair grow longer. Lacus and Kira had already become a couple and so do Cagalli and Athrun. About Mirry and Dearka, they had become a couple earlier than the others only tell them after they all got together.
" Athrun, good morning!" said Cagalli cheerfully and place a kiss on his left cheek.
" Good morning, my princess" he said as he returned a kiss on her right cheek.
"Athrun, Cag. Good morning." Said Lacus along with Kira.
" Where's Mirry and Dearka?" asked Cagalli.
" I had no idea. May be they want to have their private space.?" Said Kira.
" Who wants private space?" said Mirry along with Dearka.
" We had wanted to leave you guys if you guys come a second later." Said Cagalli.
" Cagalli, did you put on your tie?" Mirry said loudly tried to get revenge.
" Cagalli, don't tell me you stil don't know how to tie a tie yet? I have teach you over thousands times." Said Athrun while helping her to tie her tie AGAIN.
" I don't like to wear tie. And I don't need to learn how to tie a tie because you will surely help me." Said Cagalli while stuck out her tongue.
" Enough, you two lovebirds, let's get going, it's getting colder and colder." Said Lacus.
" We better fast get into the class. If not we will be dead. Move faster" said Mirry.
But when she reaches outside the class door, she suddenly stops walking.
" What's wrong Mirry?" asked Dearka.
No response from her. Everyone in front stop when they heard Dearka asking Mirry question. They all look over the place that Mirry's eyes log on.
" TOLLE KOENIG!" Cagalli mumbled softly yet full of hatred
" My, My.. I didn't know that he transfer to this school?" said Lacus.
" We better quickly go inside before he sees us." Said Cagalli pushing Mirry into the classroom.
" Who is he?" asked Athrun.
" He is Mirry's ex" said Lacus.
Dearka is now hugging Mirry cause he feels her tense. She just holds him tight as if scared that he will leave her. The others saw that and tried to change the subject. " Oh ya, how's Stellar and Shinn?" asked Athrun.
" How they become a couple?" asked Dearka knowing Athrun plan.
" I heard from Stellar that is because Shinn's childhoods friend Lunamaria Hawk came here to visits Shinn. And they are pretty close, and that make her jealous. "Said Cagalli.
" And she keep on avoiding him and cause him say out his feeling to her. And then they become a couple!" Said Kira.
"Oh I see. What a funny way. HAHAHAH" said Dearka and fake a laugh.
But Mirry is still holding him tight, that make them worry about her.
" What's wrong, Mirry? You don't need to scared of that guy, I'm here to protect you." Said Dearka gently.
" How sweet is Dearka.." said Lacus.
"Cagalli, why is Mirry so scared of thay guy?" asked Dearka on the phone. He decided to call Cagalli because he was worry about Mirry and doesn't know the reason why she so scared of him.
" Listen here, Dearka. But don't be too shock." Said Cagalli calmly.
" Okay." Said Dearka
" Look, Tolle is her ex everyone know that. But actually Mirry loves him a lot last time when they are together. They are always together happily. But one day, when I wanted to meet up with Lacus… on the way to there, I saw something that make me had a shook of my life." Said Cagalli.
" What happen?" asked Dearka started to shake.
" I saw…I saw Mirry..h-her shirt all had been rip. She is crying at a corner. I went up and ask her what happen, at first she just cries and I put my jacket over her shoulder and went to Lacus's place. After she cried for like an hour, she suddenly speaks up, s-she s-says that Tol-Tolle he rapped her. She doesn't want to make out with him even though she loves him. But he j- he just don't care her feeling and-" said Cagalli.
Dearka can hear her sobbing and stop her from telling." Cagalli, it's enough. I need to go find Mirry now, in case that bastard go to find her. Thank you." And he jus hang up after saying that and grab his jacket and went out of the house.
"What are you doing here?" asked Mirry facing a guy.
" Oh hi, my dear Mirry. How have you been after that day? I had been finding for you until I known that you transfer to Kunasagi High and they join up with Eternal high. That's why I decided to transfer to Eternal High to see you." Said Tolle evilly.
" Don't you dare to touch again, bastard." Shouted Mirry bravely.
" Tsk tsk tsk…..how can you talk to me like that? I'm your boyfriend." Said Tolle.
" You are not my boyfriend. My boyfriend is a gentle and wonderful guy, Dearka not you, bastard." Yelled Mirry. " oh where are you, Dearka?" thought Mirry.
" Oh, you mean the blonde hair tan skin guy? How could he be your boyfriend? I'm way too better… what's wrong with your taste?"said Tolle.
" He is way too better than you. You are the worst. Athrun, Kira and everybody are better than you!" yelled Mirry.
" What are you talking about? I enjoy that day you know. Did you enjoy it? I'm sure you did. I mean you love me and I love you.HAHAHA"said Tolle while smiling evilly
"Where is she?" thought Dearka.
FLASHBACK
" I'm sorry, Dearka dear. But she just went out for a walk." Said Mirry's mother.
"erm. Never mind. I will go look her around. Sorry for disturbing you, Auntie." Said Dearka and he bow to her.
END FLASHBACK
" He is way too better than you. You are the worst. Athrun, Kira and everybody are better than you!"
"Mirry?" he mumbled.
And he went to that direction and saw a guy with black hair talking to Mirry and she is crying. He believes that that is Tolle. He heard something more terrible.
" What are you talking about? I enjoy that day you know. Did you enjoy it? I'm sure you did. I mean you love me and I love you. HAHAHAH.
Mirry closed her eyes, as she doesn't want to remember that day as he's referring to. She reopen her eyes when she heard Dearka voice,
" You bastard!" shouted Dearka and punch him on his left cheek hardly. He can't control himself while someone hurt his girlfriend like that. He can't stop beating Tolle, he keep punching him…. Mirry saw that and afraid he will kill him and went up to pulled him away from Tolle.
" Dearka, don't beat him anymore! Enough …You gonna kill him if you continue to hit him, I don't want you to kill someone because of him." said Mirry. but Dearka is too furious and can't hear what Mirry talking. He continues to beat him until a strong arm pulled him away.
"Athrun, where do you think Mirry are?" said Cagalli.
"Cag, are you sure Tolle will find Mirry?" asked Athrun.
"I'm sure! He will find her, for sure!" said Cagall.
They stop when they heard someone voice that seems familiar to them.
" Dearka, don't beat him anymore! Enough …You gonna kill him id you continue to hit him, I don't want you to kill someone because of him"
Athrun and Cagalli quickly ran to that direction. "Oh my gosh" that's all Cagalli can said when they saw Dearka hitting Tolle hardly and Mirry crying there.
" Dearka, stop it. You will kill him." Athrun said as he grabs Dearka's hand and pulled him away.
" LET GO OF MY HAND! I WANT TO KILL HIM! HE DO THAT TO MIRRY AND STILL COME BACK AND FIND HER SAYING THAT SHE ENJOYED THAT.. THAT BASTARD I MUST KILL HIM" yelled Dearka angrily trying to get away from Athrun.
Dearka suddenly calm down when he feel a body pulled him into an embrace. It was Mirry. "Enough, Dearka.. Enough.. Don't hit him anymore.."
"What are you still doing here? Are you waiting for him to kill you?" shouted Cagalli.
And that's make Tolle run away from there and say, " DEAKRA ELTHMAN, I WILL GET MIRRY BACK FROM YOU. I WILL BE BACK." Said before he run away. When Dearka heard that, he begin to struggle again wanted to go and hit Tolle. But Mirry stopped him.
