When Destiny Fails (Completed)

Chapter 20: The Plea and the Letting Go

Zee, his voice filled with a mixture of concern and longing, asked, "Nunew, how have you been holding up? I miss you terribly, and I can't help but worry about you."

Nunew, his tone reflecting the emotional turmoil he was going through, replied, "It's been tough, Zee. I miss you too, and not having you here by my side makes it even harder. But I understand you have your responsibilities."

Zee, overcome with a sense of helplessness, confessed, "I wish I could be there with you. This situation is tearing me apart, but I promise we'll get through this together. I love you, Nunew."

Nunew, his voice softening, whispered back, "I love you too, Zee. Take care and come back soon." The echoes of their shared love and the distance that separated them lingered in the air, leaving both hearts heavy with the weight of circumstance.

Zee, with a gentle sincerity, expressed, "Nunew, every moment away from you feels like an eternity. I want you to know that you're always in my thoughts, and I can't wait to hold you in my arms again."

Nunew, yearning for Zee's presence, responded, "Your words are my anchor, Zee. I'll be waiting for the day when we can be together, free from the challenges that keep us apart. Our love will endure."

Zee, with unwavering determination, assured, "No matter what obstacles come our way, my love for you will remain steadfast. We'll conquer this storm, and our love will shine even brighter on the other side."

Nunew, comforted by Zee's words, whispered, "I believe in us, Zee. Our love is strong enough to withstand anything. Until the day you come back, I'll hold onto our love as my guiding light." 

Zee, wanting to lighten the mood, added with a playful tone, "You know, I miss the way your laughter fills the room. It's like a melody that plays in my heart, and being away from it makes me realize just how much I crave it."

Nunew, chuckling softly, replied, "Well, get ready because when you're back, I'll make sure you hear that melody loud and clear. Maybe I'll even add a dance to go with it. How does that sound?"

Zee, grinning, teased, "A private dance just for me? Now, that's an offer I can't refuse. I'll hold you to that, Nunew."

Nunew, with a twinkle in his eye, playfully countered, "Oh, you bet you will. Consider it a preview of all the things we'll do once you're back. Get ready for the grand return, my love."

Zee, feeling a surge of warmth at Nunew's words, couldn't resist but add, "I can't wait to be back, not just for the dance but for every little thing that makes our moments together magical. Your presence is like a balm to my soul, Nunew, and I miss it more than words can express."

Nunew, with a soft sincerity, replied, "I feel the same, Zee. Our connection is something special, and it makes every day brighter. While you're away, I'll be counting down the moments until I can hold you close again."

Zee, softly, said, "Count me in on that countdown. And, Nunew, thank you for being the light in my life. You make every day worth looking forward to."

Zee, wanting to lighten the mood, playfully remarked, "You know, while I'm stuck here with hospital food, you better promise to save some of that delicious Serencove cuisine for me, especially those dishes you always rave about."

Nunew chuckled, "Oh, I can't promise they'll be as good as when you cook them, but I'll try my best. Maybe I'll even leave a plate in the fridge for you, labeled 'Zee's Emergency Happiness Meal.'"

Zee joined in the laughter, "Emergency Happiness Meal? I like the sound of that! Just make sure to add an extra serving of love, and it'll be perfect."

As Nunew prepared to end the call, he said, "Alright, I better get to my 'Emergency Happiness Meal' then. You take care over there, and don't worry too much. We'll both be back in Serencove, sharing meals and laughter, before you know it."
