Starting Over Again Chapter 11
I don't own any of the Dragon Ball series and Mangas. What I own is this story.
A/N: This is a quite emotional chapter. I'm contemplating if I will change the rating of this Fanfic or maintain this rating.
The Pain Is Just Too Real
It's been a month since Chichi broken up with Goku right in front of the Ox University's Disciplinary Committee. Mr. Shin Kai and the rest of the people in the highly respected educational council decided to withdraw their planned sanction to the now ex couple when they saw that Goku and Chichi are serious about their love for each other. They felt the same way as Mister Whis before; but they have to protect the bylaws of the educational system to keep things in order.
Mister Shin Kai didn't press Mister Whis anymore with his unorthodox method in handling Goku and Chichi's concealed relationship because with what he witnessed with the newly broken up lovers, he understood why his trusted assistant did what he did. One by one the members of the Disciplinary council left the room tacitly.
Chichi abruptly left the conference room followed by her father after her and Goku kissed without looking back. She's afraid because she might not be able to leave Goku with the way his sad eyes looked and disappoint her superiors and her father yet again, due to her strong affections towards him.
Goku sullenly walked out with his Grandpa Gohan as well. They have taken a different direction leaving the campus premises. After Chichi decided to break up with him, he willed it in his heart to start getting used to not seeing her; though it is killing him inside.
When Chichi and her father arrived in their house she quickly runs to her bedroom and cried her heart out. From that day until now, Chichi didn't go out from her bedroom and stays there for an entire day. She had gone AWOL; and because of that, Mister Whis has take over her classes and speak to Dean Shin Kai on her behalf. The good hearted Dean understood her situation. She doesn't dine with her father as trusted personal home staff of Chichi brings her meals to her. No matter how delicious the meal that is being brought to her it is always half eaten.
There had been nights that she will wake up in the wee hours of the morning and she is found sleeping outside on the bench out of the garden with tear stains on her cheeks. Each passing day she becomes paler and weaker. Her emotional pain has taken a toll on Chichi's physical health too.
Her loving father Mister Gyu Mao is already consumed with worry for his beloved daughter. He never thought that her break up with Goku will make her feel devastated like this. He tried to cheer her up but nothing seems to work. When he couldn't take it anymore he knows who the person to go to.
He drove to Ox University and gone straight to Mister Whis's office. The good and respectable Governor waited for the refined professor to arrive.
After waiting for two grueling hours, the highly esteemed Philosophy and Astronomy educator finally arrives and is greatly surprised to see Mister Gyu Mao. He greeted his friend's father.
"Pleasant day Mister Mao." Mister Whis smiled at the modest politician. "How can I help you? Is this about my dear friend Chianna?"
Mister Gyu Mao couldn't help but softly cry in front of the colleague of his daughter. He then begins to tell Whis how devastated Chichi is about her decision to break up with her one and only love.
The kind hearted professor listened attentively to his friend's father. He understands why his dear friend is greatly affected. It is due to the reason that; of all the men Chichi dated, Goku is the only one who has won her heart. When Mister Gyu Mao finished, Mister Whis then kindly replied. "Mister Whis I will see what I can do. Don't worry anymore sir."
The gentle giant shakes Mister Whis's hand and respectfully replied. "Thank you so much for your graciousness. You are truly Chichi's loyal friend."
"You're welcome sir. Anything for Chianna." He softly replied.
The moment Mister GyuMao stepped out of his office, he immediately do what he have to do.
"Hello sis, is your class still in session? Kindly tell Mister Son Goku to come to my office immediately after class. Thanks a lot sis!"
After an hour Son Goku is already in Mister Whis's office seated on the chair where he used to sit; when he was reprimanded with his Chichi when they have been caught for the first time and got suspended. Now he is there again seated on the same chair but the huge difference is, this time he is alone. He was able to endure the first two times he got chastised by the assistant to the dean because his fierce, beautiful and sweet Chichi was with him.
After Chichi broken up with him, he mustered the courage not to visit, not to call and not to ask about her anymore. He said to himself at that point; "If this is what Chichi wants, then I shall give it to her even if it hurts like hell."
He spends most of his time helping his grandfather to supervise the vegetable harvests of their field or hanging out with his buddies Krillin and Cabba after school. He started training for the upcoming inter college Martial Arts tournament; Together with Krillin and Lazuli they are going to represent Ox University.
Son Goku drowns himself with both school and farm work in order to numb the pain in his heart.
He reflects about all of the things he has been doing after the breakup while waiting for Mister Whis to go back to his office.
"Glad you made it Goku." The elegant voice of his current professor has taken him out of his stupor. He bowed his head to show courtesy and then replied softly. "Miss Vados told me that you summoned me here."
The polished professor kindly replied with an amount of seriousness in his voice.
"Yes Goku, I need you to accompany me. We are going for a drive so please call your Grandfather and tell him that you are going to accompany me to meet with someone important."
Goku complies without second thoughts.
After an hour and a half Goku found himself in the quaint house of his former girlfriend. Although he feels so ecstatic that he will see his Chichi again, he doesn't want to show it.
He politely inquires his teacher. "Sir why are we here? Aren't Chichi and I not supposed to see each other?"
The dignified teacher and Dean Assistant replied. "Let's go Goku; you will know the answer to your question in a while."
The Kind hearted father of Chichi warmly welcomes Goku and Mister Whis. He motions to them to sit on the sofa. One of the household staff named Kayku serves the guests with TakoYaki and a tall glass of Peach Green Iced Tea. Even though the food and cold drink served to Goku is tasty and satisfying; he doesn't feel his usual urge to eat. His mind is currently focused on seeing the woman who stole his heart again. Mister Whis on the other hand is already feasting on his second serving of TakoYaki and Peach Green Iced Tea.
Then Goku hears footsteps coming down the stairwell. Guided by Mister Gyu Mao, is his Chianna who looks sickly and dull. Even with her lemon yellow sun dress and half up, half down hairstyle and makeup, it didn't conceal the dark circles under her eyes and she lost a lot of weight too.
Upon seeing his Chichi looking like she is now, Goku feels his heart tighten with guilt. He then thought to himself. "I should've at least tried to visit or call her to see how she's doing."
He then hears her say."Goku, is that really you?" Goku walks to her and holds her hand and lovingly replies. "Yes Chi, it is me." The two former lovers hugged each other.
Goku and Chichi spends the rest of the day together. They watched the sunset and talked. Chichi regained her appetite when Goku fed her during their dinner in the she sleeps like a baby on Goku's broad chest. When Chichi is already sleeping soundly, he tucked her in the bed covers, kissed her cheek and left the room.
"Goku thank you for making my baby girl very happy today?" Mister GyuMao happily said. He softly responds. "You're welcome sir. You know I will do anything for Chichi."
Mister Whis and Son Goku left the Mao residence.
"Goku, now you know why we came here; Chianna is so crushed when the two of you broke up. She never thought how painful it can be for her. Chianna has gone AWOL from Ox University. Now the next course of action is up to you." Mister Whis tells him seriously.
Goku replies with the same amount of seriousness."Mister Whis, Chichi has broken up with me for a good reason. I will do what she wishes for me to do. I'll finish my course with flying colors and then I'll get back together with her. But I plan to visit and call her once in a while to check on her."
After saying that Mister Whis gently replied."You must love her that much to sacrifice your own happiness." Goku respectfully nodded with a gentle smile.
A/N: Chichi's health has taken a toll on her break up with Goku that is why Mister GyuMao sought the help of Mister Whis. And the polished professor just knows what to do to help his friend. Goku and Chichi aren't officially back together yet but, things will get better for the two of them.
