Chapter 23

YARN BRACELET

“Sir, You and Ma’am Jane are not supposed to know each other.” Elmo explained, “After this, Julie and I should send you back to where you came from.”

“If so then why are we still doing this? Shouldn’t I just leave her and forget things?” Adam enquired.

“Is that what you really want?” Elmo asked.

Adam fell silent.

“I’ve wasted my nights, You turned out the lights, Now I’m paralyzed, Still stuck in that time, When we called it love, but even the sun sets in paradise…” Adam continued to sing “Sir Elmo? What’s wrong?” Julie asked.

“I just… I just realized that we are almost done.” Elmo said.

“Shouldn’t you be happy with that?”

“Yeah… but it seems I now fully understood how sir Adam felt yesterday.” Elmo replied.

***

“Sir Adam?” Julie and Elmo asked.

“Julie, Elmo, if you are in my situation, will you still pursue this? Will you still try, for the last time, to obtain a person’s love even if you know that you could be together?”

“I…” Elmo stuttered.

“Sir Adam, if thy art thinking in this manner, then I could say that thy art not in love with her, you love your self more! You always consider yourself, your own pain before you do something to the person you love. At least before you leave, both of you will share the happiest moments of thy lives!” Julie burst.

Sir Adam was speechless after hearing my words. I could believe I was able to utter those words. I just can’t hold myself!

“Even if you wouldn’t see her again, at least let her feel how much you loved her until the very last moment.” Julie continued persuading.

***

“If “Happy Ever After” did exist, I would still be holding you like this, all those fairy tales are full of it. One more stupid love song, I’ll be sick…now I’m at a payphone.” Adam Ended.

Julie’s POV

People were standing and applauding for Adam’s performance. Some even took their talking boxes and flashed lights to him. It was truly beautiful… the crowed held Madame Paliza’s hand and guided her to Sir Adam. The both hugged each other as they shed their tears and laughed by the romantic feeling that lingered between them. The fireworks continued to color the night sky as the two held one another.

“Adam I…” Jane whispered.

“Jane please, don’t say a word. Seeing you this happy is enough for me. I do not care anymore if I am able to gain your love. What matters most is in every moment of this night, I made you feel how much I love you…”

Madame Jane continued to tear and nestled her head on Adam’s shoulders.

“Sir Elmo! We did it!” Julie exclaimed.

“Yeah…” Elmo frowned.

“Sir Elmo?”

“So-Sorry… we must call Sir Adam now… its time for him to leave…” Elmo said.

What happened to Sir Elmo, just after Sir Adam sang he seems to be bothered of something…

I raised my hand and waved at Sir Adam to give him another signal. Sir Adam, like Sir Elmo, had the same sad eyes. He gave Madame Paliza some words and embraced him.
