ZNN SHORT STORY: EVERY UNIVERSE

Part 5 || Angel & Devil: Between Love and Rules: A new born Angel

Zee placed Nunew's body on a large, jewel-encrusted bed that glowed brightly. Then he looked at Angel James, who was standing next to him. Angel James smiled, looking at Zee.
James: Are you ready ?
Zee: Can I have some time with him ?
James: Take as much as you want, but remember, he's in pain.
Zee: Krub ... I understood.

Without wasting time, James then stepped out of the room to give space to Zee and Nunew.

Zee looked at Nunew's face, then reached Nunew's right hand and held it tightly. Then he brought the hand to his mouth and kissed it warmly while closing his eyes.
Zee: How are you? I'm sorry, Nhu... I need to do this. When you wake up, you may not remember, but at least we've been through the memories together—our beautiful memories.

Zee kissed Nunew's hand.
Zee: Did you ever sit and think about your loved one who died, and it feels so unreal? As time passes, I can't accept that I can't hear their voices and hug them. That was what I felt when I lost you last time. I was very angry when I learned that you were dead. I was very angry until I mostly attacked our son, our new little Nhu.

Zee then kissed Nunew's forehead.
Zee: When you left me, your body was not with me, but your memories stayed with me. I'm happy that we have memories together, but at the same time, I'm hurt. I'm hurt because it was just a memory of us, so that's why this time, it's better if I can erase your memories so that you are not going to be in pain like me in the past.

Zee then got up, and he bowed his head a little towards Nunew. He then kissed Nunew's lips gently, but...
Zee: You are not going to reply to my last kiss, Nhu. I saw you suffer, and I'm hurt. I'm going to take over your sin, Angel Nhu. I love you... I love you so damn much ...

"Devil Zee ? Are you done ?"

Zee then turned around when he heard Angel James' voice. He smiled and nodded his head, indicating that he was ready. Angel James, who saw Zee's nod, then stepped closer to him.
James: Are you sure you want to do this? This is your final decision?
Zee: Yes, Angel James.
James: Now, take his hand and hold it together.
Zee: Krub ...

Without wasting time, Zee then held Nunew's hand tightly, and he kissed it softly. Then he looked at James and nodded his head.

Zee looked at Nunew's face and stopped. He just wanted to stare at that beautiful face before his time came.

It looks like Angel James raised both his hands high and placed them on Zee and Nunew. He closed his head and said a sentence with his wings, which began to expand greatly.
Angel James: In the name of God, Devil Zee will take over all the sins Angel Nhu has committed. Devil Zee will also continue all the torture that Angel Nhu has gone through all this time. With that, Angel Nhu will be free from all sins, and he will be reborn as a good angel and free from his past sins.

Zee's tears fell down his cheeks as soon as Angel James finished his words. Zee looked at Nunew's face while smiling for the last time. In the blink of an eye, now Zee has officially become the bearer of the sin that Nunew has carried. His once strong and energetic body has now turned into a very weak one and is filled with smelly wounds.
Zee: Now you are free, Angel Nhu. Be happy, and I love you. Fly as much as you can, Nhu. I will always remember you, even if you do not remember me in the future.

Angel James stepped closer to Zee and she smiled sweetly.
Angel James: Go fly away, Devil Zee. You are a devil with a noble heart. Thank you because your sacrifice has given birth to a new angel.

Zee looked at Nunew's face. His body and face are back to how they used to be. Her beautiful face is like a gem, and her skin is like a muyiara. His large, white wings had returned to him. All his sins have also been taken away by Zee. Now Nunew is free from all torment.

Without wasting time, Zee woke up with his weak condition. He brought his face closer to Nunew and kissed Nunew's forehead softly. Tears of happiness dripped down his cheeks.
Zee: See you again, my Angel Nhu ...

Without waiting any longer, Zee then flew with his followers. He flew away with a cry that can still be heard. In his past life, Nunew left him. Now, it's time for him to leave Nunew. No, he didn't leave Nunew, but he freed Nunew from one way of torture.

Angel James looked out the window and said, "An angel and devil fell in love but ... it did not end well."

After 5 years ...

Nunew stepped out of his bedroom singing with joy. His white wings spread wide as he ran into the living room. As soon as he arrived in the living room, he saw Angel James waiting for him. without wasting time, he then approached Angel James and sat next to him.
Nunew: Good morning, Angel James.
James: Good morning, Angel Nhu.
Nunew: You must be waiting for me, right ?
James: Of course, today we will group trip with others to the waterfall.
Nunew: Finally, I have the chance to go there.
James: I know ... many angel want to go there too. So, let's go ?
Nunew: Let's go !!!

Without wasting time, Nunew got up and flapped his wings to show that he was happy. He stepped out first. James was still waiting for the others inside.

Nunew suddenly stopped as soon as he saw a black pigeon. He then approached him and was surprised.
Nunew: You are bleeding naa ...

Without wasting time, Nunew then took the bird and placed it on his lap. He stroked the bird's head gently.

"Angel Nhu ... "

Nunew turned to the back and looked at Angel James' face.
Nunew: Look ... it's bleeding.

Angel James then approached Nunew and looked at the black dove that was in Nunew's lap. He was very surprised when he saw the black dove.
James: Devil Zee ?
Nunew: Devil Zee ? Who ?
James: Nothing.

James looked at Nunew's face then he monologued, "He must be missing you so much, Angel Nhu."

Nunew looked at the bird and stroked its wounded right wing. With just a touch, Nunew was able to heal the injured bird's wings.
Nunew: Now you are healed.

Nunew stood up and kissed the bird softly before releasing it.
Nunew: See you again naaa ...

Nunew let the bird fly high above the sky. Unaware that the bird is his love, Zee. Zee flew high while shedding tears. He misses. He misses Nunew. Nunew's kiss and caress made him feel happy even if it was just for a moment.
