CHAPTER 13

It’s hard. But, I think we can make it.

Those are the words that have been stuck in his mind. A few days ago, he finally admitted his feelings for the woman he loves the most – a mortal, yet everyone, well, not exactly everyone knows that he’s a guardian angel. A wingless angel, but hearing that woman say I love you back was the only thing that made Richard soar again. Yes, he is without wings, but with Maya, he felt that he can reach unbelievable heights. With her, he can do everything.

He spent almost every second beside Maya, never leaving her neither letting her out of his sight as if trying to make up for the time he was gone, and also for the time he will be gone.

It was evening. Richard is beside a sleeping Maya, hearing her steady breaths. He smiled at the sight of her. A part of him is still trying hard to believe if this is all true though he knew all too well that it is true.

Sleep well, my love.

He sat up on the bed and closed his eyes. In a second, he was back to the place where it all started, but it was far different from before. The barrier is much bigger than before, surrounding him, blocking all the possible ways for him to have a peek on the other side.

“Richard.” A voice said. Even though it’s been ages since he was gone, he clearly knows the owner of that voice. “What brings you here?”

“I .. I’ve been away for too long. I thought I’d pay a visit.” He said.

“I see. How is Earth?”

He smiled. “It is fine, in fact it’s wonderful.”

“Your mortal is the reason behind the smile of yours, eh Richard?” the voice asked, noticing the goofy smile on Richard’s face.

“Yes. I think You know it all.” He said.

“Yes. I can see everything from up here, son.”

He sighed and then looked at the barrier surrounding him. Somehow, it made him feel suffocated. Like there’s no air for him to breathe, and it also made him feel alone. He knew the reason why the barrier was there at the first place. The fact that it had grown this much only means one thing.

“I’m due soon, am I?” he asked. Richard already knew the answer to this question but there’s still this glimmer of hope in him.

“Yes.” The word constricted his heart. He was right.

“What will happen to Maya?”

“She’ll be fine.”

“Will .. will she remember me? Will she remember what we have?”

“No.”

It’s like a spear went through his heart. I don’t want to loose her. I don’t want to. I thought I will leave a part of me with her when I leave. I want her to remember everything. I want her to remember what we have, even if it’s just for a while. I don’t want to end up things like this.

“Wha-what will happen to me?”

“You’ll find out when it happens, son.”

“So I just have to ..”

“Yes. You just have to wait for your time.”

He sighed. “Okay. Thank you. I’ll go back now.” Then he closed his eyes.
