Pandora's Sky

Chapter 21: Twin Opposite Roads

A/N: the previous chapter is so sweet haha...

                Separation is not the ending rather a beginning of a more complicated matter which test endurance either mentally and emotionally.

            It has been one week since my last encounter with thief a.k.a Leon, and here I am shedding my tears for good three days straight. That instant, I knew that is the last of our peaceful meetings. That instant, I understand every bit of complicated things going on us and it is now processed in my head. Arghhhh, why does my head process so slow and it makes me too late for everything. Ahh.,,

Am I not normal?

Ahh... Shaylein now you already lost it. Stop talking to yourself , Idiot! Aha...

Tears began flowing to my eyes again, I am pathetic although in my head I know what will be my next move I am still stuck in this corner and crying. Wait... I forgot te-hee.

If you are asking, where am I? Well, I am back to Leon's apartment together with his grandfather and Ms Louiston. Though, this house is really not safe these days still the house where Leon lives. ...

*drip*

Here I go again... my tears falling again. Why does human heart is so fragile? Why does it need to be weak at emotions? Why .... Am I crying over and over again? Rolling to this bed, I look at the ceiling. I grab the nearest pillow and hug it and getting the comfort I need to its fluffy body.

*Sniff*

This smell...

*Sniff*

It's...

*Sniff...Sniff*

Leon

...great girl, you lowered yourself and sniff Leon's pillows but ... I miss him.

As I lament in my thoughts, someone knock at the door.

*Knock...Knock...Knock...*

Three consecutive knocks , it means that either Mr. Rhyd or Ms. Louiston is calling me but I don't have any urge to open the door or see anyone of them. I feel empty, ...

So empty that I want to open my insides and look at it, so empty that I want to hung myself in this room and wait for Leon in the heaven

'I want to die' I mutter in a soft and low voice

"I came to check you're condition and it looks like you are quite in distort!" someone said, and this voice is familiar.  Suddenly, I hear the creaking sound of the door slowly opening. When I put my attention on it, I see a familiar man with red hair and always dressed formal as if he is going to attend a party though still having his piercing on his face that makes him much more goon than he looks. In that split second, my lips move and formed a smile.

Seeing me, he didn't hesitate and went towards me then... give me a warm and pleasant embrace. He did not speak or ask questions and in that instant—

*drip...drip...*

Tears, once again fall in my eyes and followed by

"Sniff... uwaaaa...!"

            Loud burst of my crying... this warmth, how many days since this mess has started and gives me chills and shivers. How many days passed when I forgot this warmth. No... just one week ago, I have this warmth. Praying that the time stop for the two of us. Gently and carefully taking care of that warmth.

            "There... cry as much as you want"

Haha...I never thought Krud can comfort me like this but thanks to this, I can move forward and like I said before I know what shall I do. I look him at the eyes. His eyes is blazing with worry and anxiety much more it is filled with something that can only be explained when experience.
