CHAPTER 15
Flashback :
"Don't worry. I have prepare everything you need here. And you won't feel lonely. Someone will accompany you when I absent. And I will come here everyday to be with you." He reassuring her. Calming her. And he can feel Cagalli nodded. She moves slightly from him, looking at him.
"Promise me you will be okay. And, and take care of Kira."
Nodding, he reply her wish. "I will. And I will protect your brother as well. Although he is capable by himself." He shrugged. Cagalli frowning to him. Well, she never saw Kira fight like Athrun after all. Or, is she just forget it?
Smirking suddenly, Athrun yanked her towards him and she yelped. Surprised at his sudden actions. He whispering to her ears. "And, I quite like your clothes right now. Make sure you prepare yourself, Cagalli. Because in this quiet place, no one will hear your scream or helping you escape from me. I maybe attack you suddenly. So, don't provoke me any further. I maybe have you accidentally later, no?"
And her face burning with embarassment more further.
...
Athrun frowned. Dislike this situation. Here he is, sit down between a bunch of politian. Again. Can't be helped, he sighing. Taking care all the matters while his wife absent is his responsibility. After all, this is not the first time. Well, he did this since after he married with her. A Head Representative of ORB. And again, they asking question about her. Her whereabouts and her condition after the incident. Well, Athrun Zala promised himself he won't telling anyone her exact location. He won't. Why they want to know by the way? She is fully his business, not them.
His emerald eyes scanning around. Eyeing situation in front of him. Another assasination was happened. It was them, he thought immediately. I know it was them. Because again, the victim is Coordinator and Natural couple. A family. Just like him and her. If he's not careful, there will be another war.
"Any report from newest news?" His bariton voice clearing a murmur around the room. Some of them quiet suddenly.
"Same with before, Representative. Harbour family just executed last night. We suppose the culprit is the same one." Kai Reach, an investigator for special case speak briefly. He found out the last night accident and told him immediately. And some of Parliament member are kindly come by his request for this emergency meeting.
Athrun nodded. He know so well who's the culprit anyway. Dearka still tried his part of the plan while Kira and Yzak do their part. Collect information. And him, handle the country and Cagalli.
"Representative?" Ammeer voice breaking his trance. A bit startled, he glancing to the officer direction.
"Yes? What is it?"
The officer raised his eyebrow. "I just wonder if you listen to us at this meeting?"
Massaging his forehead, he let a heavy sigh. "I am sorry. Please don't mind. Just, continue our meeting."
"Well, we finishing mostly of our conversation while you daydreaming, Representative. And the result will be reporting later at the last." Trina Shepard, his secretary frowning while reading her notes. Somehow he feel ashamed of himself because he didn't listen the discussion properly.
"And, if we may know, Representative. How's the young lady Zala no-" Micah Ashlan sentences stopped in midway because Athrun cut it abruptly.
"I believe I did said if I make sure she's fine and alive. But here, I can't tell you all or anyone about her further more." His voice is sharp. Along with his emerald eyes narrowing.
"If you say so, Representative Zala. Then we won't ask any further." Cara Yacob speak calmly to him.
"Thank you for you all understanding." Athrun nodded. And then, he stand up facing all the Parliament member. "I want the usual procedure about this event. Along with evacuation of the remains. We have to respect the victim as well. And, I hope every of you remember. Never lose your guard."
Another murmur and nodding. Then, the meeting ended.
Athrun stay in his seat collecting some of his important documents. While Ammeer walking towards him.
"Yes? Is something wrong, Officer?" He raised his eyebrows. What now after the meeting. He just want to rest, calming his mind and stay with Cagalli. Soon.
"I am sorry for disturb you, Representative Zala. But, I have found what you want." Ammeer voice so small. Clearly have no intention to letting anyone know or hear their conversation. And hearing that, Athrun nodded.
...
Cagalli staring at her reflection in the mirror. Behind her, Shera Romina combing her golden hair gently. Her reflection on the mirror seems blank, no particular expression. Almost a bit sleepy actually. The girl, Shera, is a 24 years old maid who assigned for accompany Cagalli while she is in Athrun estate. She has a blond almost brown medium hair, petite and slim body, and sharp eyes. She's quiet, rarely speak to her. And when she tried to asked where's this place actually, that girl just shook her head and spoke in small voice to her,"Master Zala forbid us to tell exact location of this manor. Please understand." And she gritted her teeth after that. Damn you Zala, she cursed silently. All of this unnecessary things like lock me up at this freaking hidden place. And she know very well, that Zala along with her brother make some Only-God-knows moves for catching that maniac. That maniac, Cagalli shrudder and frown. She's really worried about two of them. That maniac is one of sadist. And she froze. Why that Zala keep appearing on her mind. He's strong and capable to defend himself, add to his weirdly super accurate shot ability. So, no need to worry about him also. But somehow, Cagalli shook her head rapidly, frown. Shera stopped her hand to comb her mistress golden hair and raised an eyebrow, surprised about Cagalli sudden move. Headache?
Cagalli repeating her actions nowadays. How'd she acted when that maniac threatened for killed Athrun as well. And her panics when Athrun coldly said if he gladly waited that maniac to come and find him when she told Athrun if he is targeted as well. Yes, she is really worried and uneasy. What kind of danger Athrun will do to find that bunch of criminal. Suddenly, his words which he always said to her come to her senses. I love you. Love? Is that what Athrun feels about her? Love? Until he doing this far for her. Love eh...Cagalli staring at her reflection once again. If that how's it, then my feeling about him is also...
"Is something wrong, Milady?" Shera voice broken her inner thought, snapped her back to reality. Startled, she glanced to Shera from the mirror..
"No. I am fine. I am sorry for spaced out awhile." She smiled sheepishly.
Shera just nodded and continue her job to Cagalli hair. Make sure they are tidy and neat. She assigned to take care of Cagalli daily needs as well. She's not alone at this manor. But along together with a little bit staff. Harold Stuart, a 27 years old guy, hold position as Head Butler here. Kanaya Morgan, 17 years old girl, as gardener. She loves flower so very much. Another maid, Rheena Sawab and Josh Johnson as chef. Rheena is 25 years old and Josh is well toned 35 years old guy, helping the staff taking care the manor. Their master did introduced them all to Cagalli, his wife. And instructed them for taking care of Cagalli need and report to him if something wrong mattered. "Don't let her wandering around or going outside, and remember my words about outsider." His clear intruction to them. Of course Cagalli herself didn't know about that intruction or she will be unleash her wrath to him.
"Say, Shera." Cagalli start first. Shera keep her hand moves but her eyes focus to Cagalli.
"Why Athrun really insist I may not see anyone else or go outside? Is that very dangerous thing to do?" Cagalli amber eyes staring at hers. Demand for answer.
"I am afraid it is, Milady. After all, we were choosen to guard and taking care of this manor since a few years ago. Not many people know the existence of this place, since this is a secure area. And because of your case, we must increase our guard and secrecy of this all. I am sorry but that's all I can tell you, Milady. Now if you may excuse me, I must do another chores with Rheena." She bowing to her and leaves Cagalli alone. Cagalli amber eyes just staring at the maid retreating figure. Must be Athrun intruction about not spilled out anything to me, she thought.
"But you know what, stupid Zala. I am not going just sit down here and be a good girl like you told me to do. I will find my own way to escape from this place and take my freedom. I am not letting you and Kira face that maniac alone. Just you see." Cagalli speaks quietly. She has make her decision already. With that, she stand up and walking to her bathroom.
...
Dearka huffing. His eyes staring at the screen in front of him. His back crushed with his seat. Gathering information from system not really difficult task. But the one they run after is something very secret. A secret organization with a very little information about them. Just their crimes this far but not exactly information about them. He wonder how else he can get valuable information about them. Again, he sighed for umpteenth times. For sure, Athrun is master about this things. But that guy is busy running this country and make sure his wife not getting away from her 'cage'. Can't be helped. And Kira? He know if the Representative twin brother as good as Athrun about tracking down on system. But once again, he has his own task to do along with Yzak. He stared grimly to the screen. If this matter not handled quickly, another war can be explode. Another stupid war about Natural hatred towards Coordinator whatsoever. And if can, he doesn't want piloting his Buster again at war. Not again.
"Dead end?" A mocking tune snapped his thought. Yzak leaning at the door. His smile is cold and mocking. Dearka rolling his eyes.
"I wonder if the task that given by Zala is difficult one for you?" He walking casually toward the blonde. Peering at the screen which Dearka work out until now.
"The one we chasing right now is shadow." Dearka shrugged. Staring at the screen in front of him. He resume the work and staring hard at it. "Everything isn't clear and there's so little information about them except about chaos that they made."
Yzak smirked. "Admit it. You lose Elsman."
Dearka twitching upon hear that words. No way he allow anyone making fun of him about some "incompetent". For Godness sake, he also The Great Redcoat at ZAFT before.
"What are you talking about, Joule. I am just starting this! I will find them, I assure you! Just you see, Commander Joule!" Dearka began typing furiously on his keyboard. Unknown of him, Yzak smirked behind him.
"I guess I will just wait your report later." Yzak paused awhile before continue. "But you know, if we failed and can't catch the main leader of them, this chaos will be more spreading and I am sure, we will be inside our GUNDAM once more just like before."
Dearka stopped abruptly. "I know. That's why I agree to help Athrun finish it. I don't need to see Mir become CIC at The Archangel because another war. Not again." He sighing and frown.
"We had obtained a peace after last war, with Athha and Clyne as the Mediator. But she let go that position and choose for remain with Yamato. And now, the Athha woman losing her memories along with her abilities for lead the country and peace. What a nice situation." Yzak remarked sarcastically.
Dearka glancing to the silver haired Commander before back to the monitor and start typing again. "But you know, it's lucky Athrun can replace her until she got on her feet like before. And I am sure, he is capable doing it."
Narrowing his icy blue eyes, Yzak snorted. But like it or not, he is agree with the blond haired guy. "Yeah. You are right."
And Dearka shrieked because Yzak agree with him this time about Athrun Zala.
...
Lacus humming happily. Sipping her tea, her warm eyes watching news on TV. Another hand rubbing her starting bulging tummy. She smiles. The child is her and Kira fruit of love. She can't be more happy already.
"If only Cagalli and Athrun have one as well like us, I wonder can we pairing them if mine is girl and their is boy." Lacus giggle at her thought. But she know very well. Cagalli is too stubborn and her will about taking care of the country make her thinking if having children will be disaster.
"And I know very well if Athrun himself want one with Cagalli. Poor him." Lacus spoke softly. Then, her eyes focused at the screen. News about daily society, politics, etc. But her attention get absorbed because Athrun suddenly appear on the screen. He just walked out from Parliament building, some bodyguards guard him tightly. The reporter inform if this broadcast about matter of chaos and mess at Orb recently. But seems Athrun doesn't want to tell and comment anything because his handsome face frowned when he passed hardly between reporters and cameramen that gather around the building since morning. Lacus can hear some question throwing at him from the speaker. This is live broadcaster after all.
"Please some words about crimes and chaos around this country recently, Representative!"
"Who did that? Is that some dangerous terrorrist or just active gang?"
"Representative! Please answer some of our question!"
"Just a word is fine!"
"Peoples need clear information!"
"Where's your wife? Where's Representative Athha? She's not shown on public anymore since a few month ago! Did she still on trip or what?"
"Ah! Right! That's not really Representative Athha because she never absent in such event about Orb!"
"It can't be, she can't be kidnapped by the terrorists, Representative Zala?"
Lacus shook her head. The reporters so insist digging a news and information from every side. If not careful, news A can be change to news B. In other words, there will be false or fake news than a real one. Poor Athrun, she thought bitterly. He must be in real stress right now. She resuming her tea and a bit startled because the phone ringing suddenly. Put the cup on the table, she get up to get the phone.
"Hello? Yamato residence here." Her melodic voice can be hear from the side.
"Red Rose. Need some water right ." The voice from her caller seems demanding.
Smiling, Lacus answer quickly. "I understand. I will be on my way. Please bring the vase. I will give the water immediately."
"Understood." And the connection is ended.
Lacus put the phone back and walking to the computer desk in the corner. Smiling lightly, she starting the computer. "I wonder what will she talking about right now. Chairwoman Kyle from PLANT."
...
Cagalli staring at the screen. Right now, she watching video about her wedding, again. While her eyes glued to the screen, her mind wandering. The girl in video looks so happy, as well with the groom. Athrun looks so dazzlingly handsome with his white tuxedo. Kira and Lacus were charming also. Everyone seems happy at the video.
She was bored awhile ago. Wandering around the mansion, explored everything. Maids and butlers are busy with their daily chores. She has no one to talk or accompany her. Her wound mostly healed now. So, she can walking around the mansion. In one condition, not going outside. The mansion is large enough. But empty because not many people stayed here. Just some maids and butlers. She wonder is this place build and exist for special purpose. Tired, she slumped on the couch and decided to watch some video. But instead watching some movie, she found this video and watch it. Her own wedding video. Here she is, watching the video by herself.
"Feel more better?" She jumped from her seat because someone whisper to her ear suddenly.
"Can't you greet me with normal ways?" Cagalli muttered after get rid of her shock. Athrun just chuckling.
"Sorry. Just want to surprised you a bit. How's your body?" He kissed her cheeks and she's going all red. She still not used for this kind of contact with Athrun, her own husband.
"I am fine and the wounds starting to heal mostly." She paused awhile. "How's day?"
Athrun collapses on the couch beside her. Massaging his temple, he sighing tiredly. "Not good if you want to know. More issue about crimes whatsoever. And, some people looking for your whereabouts lately. The reporters."
Cagalli snorted. "It's because you kidnapped and locked me in this unknown places." She is pouted. "I am boring to death."
Athrun watching her silently. For sure mostly of her wounds are starting to heal. She wearing thin night gown. She didn't bother to change into some other clothes since she won't or can't go outside. He can see her womanly curves of her body. Her skin is pale and her lips blossoming pink. Irressistible enough for some kiss. He smiling suddenly. It has been a long time he kissed her lips. After the accident, he never kissed her like usual because he knows, right now he's a stranger in her mind. Well, maybe not like that anymore for now.
"Err, why you smiling suddenly like that? It's kind of creepy." Cagalli voice shattered his thought about her. Then, she yelped because Athrun pinned her on the couch. So fast and he's on top of her for second. Athrun nuzzling her neck. Inhaling her nice and sweet scent. The woman beneath him so flustered because his actions. But deep inside, she's fluttering.
"I love you." She hear Athrun whispered to her.
"H-Huh?" She kinda dumbfounded because his words. What's with this sudden confession. Seriously, is he okay.
"I love you. Eventhough you forgot about your love towards me right now, but I will make you loves me again and again."
Cagalli who's all red already become more and more flustered after Athrun confession.
Sighing, she rubbing his back softly. "What's wrong? Did you hit your head before came here?"
Athrun frowned. "How rude. I just confessed to you and this how you react?"
"Because this feel creepy." Cagalli shrugged. But you know, you don't need to make me loving you again and again because I loves you already, she said on her mind. She realized her own feeling about Athrun already. And she knows, it's just natural because since first, she belongs to him. And the fact if they are married. She just hope, she can spend her live with him. With or without her old memories.
"Can I kiss you?" Athrun asked suddenly. Cagalli dumbfounded.
"Huh?"
"Can I kiss you?" Athrun replay his question with smirk on his lips.
"What the hell. Don't joke around with me, Zala. Now, get off of me." She frowned and tries to push Athrun's body from her.
"But I am not joking." With that, he leans forward and captured her pink lips. Cagalli eyes widened. She can feel his soft lips landed on her. It's so soft, and sweet. Athrun really kissing her. His body covered her. Her hand stopping at his chest because her attempt for push his body from her. But alas, he's more heavy and strong than her. So, her efforts is futile. He deepening the kiss. His tongue licking her lips, asking for entrance. Guided by her instinct, she open her lips. Their tongue dueling, trying for winning the battle. Athrun hand catching hers and pinning them beside her head. Cagalli surrender, letting Athrun take the control. They kissing heatedly. Athrun unleashing his desire to kiss her. Gasping for air, he let go her lips for awhile. Green eyes staring at her. Cagalli panting for air and staring back at him. Without warning, Athrun leans forward and claiming her lips again. She moaned. His kiss feel good. Such a good kisser, she thought. They keep kissing for awhile before Athrun stopped abruptly. He leans backwards and his breath ragging. He staring at her swollen pink lips.
Athrun rolling off and close his eyes. He murmur quietly. "Damn it, Cagalli. You make me lost control for awhile."
Cagalli blushing. Her hand touching her lips. Athrun taste still lingering there.
"If I didn't stop and continue that-, he staring at her,-I maybe losing all of my control and take you right here and right now."
Her mind went blank. Take me right here and right now?. Gathering her conscious, she tries to speak as calm as she can. "It's okay. I kinda respond also. I am sorry."
Athrun raise his eyebrow. Then, he pulling her waist and trap her in his embrace. "You can't apologize to your husband because you respond when he kissed you." Cagalli just keep silent, letting Athrun embrace her.
"Oh, then it makes me wonder about something." He watching the woman who he embracing tightly against his body.
"What is it?" Cagalli raising her eyebrow, want to know what's that about.
"I wonder if you fall in love with me already because you accepted and responded to my kissess before." Athrun playful smirk appear at his handsome face.
Cagalli face stay still and she say clearly, "Go to hell, Zala."
Athrun chuckling at her answer. Stand up, he relaxing his body. Then, he remember about something he wants to tell to her.
"Oh, and by the way, Cagalli."
"Hm?" She looks at him and stand up as well, time to go sleep.
"Tomorrow, your new bodyguard will coming for you."
