I spotted Lirole standing under the pavilion.
That's my grandmother's grave.
"Hey Lirole"
Lirole glanced back and said, "Das, I am glad to see you here"
"Yeah, I was just..."
Her eyes are wet and red.
She must be crying.
Dammit! I don't know what to say.
"I heard you are going back home today" she asked.
"Yeah"
"Good luck with your exams"
"Thanks"
"Though you don't really need 'good luck' to pass"
"That's not true"
"You have really changed, huh?" she said, patting my head.
"Are you feeling okay?"
"Yes, I am fine"
"What about the baby?"
"It is fine too"
"Which month is it?"
"Sixth"
"What is the due date?"
"It's on the same date as Di's birthday"
"I see"
"Hey" she touched my face and said, "What will you do after your coronation?"
"I don't know"
"You will be the king. Will you take the responsibility?"
"I will try"
"You don't have to force yourself, you know? Di and I will take care of everything"
"I can't keep relying on you two"
"Das" she pulled me close, hugging me and said, "You are just a kid"
"I am 18"
"Still a kid for us"
"...."
"Just enjoy your youth. Enjoy your time with your girlfriend" she c.a.r.e.s.sed my hair and said, "Do whatever you want. You have a long life ahead of you, okay?"
"I understand"
I don't.
I don't have a long life.
I have many things to do.
I need to find a cure to save Daulla, to save myself.
"And where will you live after your coronation? Here in the palace, or your house?"
"My house. I want to graduate from high school with Elena"
I will think about other things after that.
"Have you packed your stuff?"
"I don't have anything to pack"
"You know, when you were small, you used to pack up many things from the palace to take them to your house"
"Is that so?"
"Yeah. And mama used to say, 'How about you come stay here?' and Di always replied with: 'He has lived enough here. We will come next month again'. And at the same time, Lier always cried and said, 'I want to go home with Das' and used to pat her and say, 'You can come live at my house'. I miss those old days when we were all together"
"..."
"But those days are not coming back"
"...."
She let go of me and said, "Know that we all love you, okay?"
"Yeah"
"Now go to your room"
"Hmm"
I walked some steps, and suddenly I had an urge to ask something.
"Hey Lirole" I said, looking back.
"What?"
"About what happened with Daulla ten years ago. I didn't know about it. Is there something else that you guys are hiding from me or I don't know about it?"
She smiled and said, "What do you think?"
"I don't know"
"I won't say much. I don't even know what you don't know about. But I will just say this. There is one thing that we are told to keep secret from me"
"And you won't tell me?"
"I can't even I want to. I took Edens' oath"
"It's fine. I will go back to my room" I said.
Edens' oath. They need to kill themselves if they break this oath.
What type of secret they are hiding that they had to make Edens' oath to hide it.
I went back to my room, only to find Daulla standing in the door.
"Welcome"
"I went to the cemetery to meet Lirole"
"Did I ask for an explanation?"
"You didn't, but I felt like saying it"
She grabbed my hand and said, "Come, lunch is ready"
After eating lunch, I went to my room.
I had packed up my stuff, which was only my laptop.
"Are you ready to go home now?" Daulla said.
"Are you here to say your goodbyes?"
"I am here to say 'Come back soon'. I will wait for your arrival"
"I will be back as soon as my exams end"
"I will inform the driver that you are ready"
"No"
"What, why?"
"Let's talk for a bit"
She sat on the bed and said, "Okay. What do you want to talk about?"
"About us"
"We have no future together, Lil Das. I will serve you till my last breath, but we can't in that type of relationship"
"I know. I just wanted to say this"
"Say what?"
"Daulla"
"Yes?"
"I love you. Not as a mother or a sister, or a maid or any other way. I love you as a girl. I love you how you are. I love you for what you are. Can't we forget all our past relationsh.i.p.s and start a new one as a lover?"
I was so nervous, but I somehow said it without any problem.
I looked up at Daulla--
"I am sorry. I am sorry, Lil Das"
"It's okay. I just wanted to hear your answer once again"
"I am sorry. Really sorry" she said, hugging me.
"I will keep loving you"
"Answer me this, Lil Das"
"Hmm"
"If I didn't have a system. If that incident of ten years ago never happened. I would have been and old lady, I would just look like Ange. No, even more older than that, you mother still looks young like she is in her late thirties" she hugged me tighter and continued saying, "I would be an old lady with wrinkles on my face and white hair. Would you still have said 'I love you' to me? Would you shave still asked me to be your lover? Would you still say what you said just now?"
"I won't. I know what you mean, and I also know why you don't want to be my lover. If that incident had never happened, you would have been old lady, and I would have never said what I said just now. But, you are not old, you are just 20 years old right now. I know why you rejected me. You may look young, but for you, you basically raised me and thanks to that, I am what I am today. I am just like your...your son, so you feel awkward to be my lover"
"Thanks for being honest, and understanding my feelings"
I hugged her back and said, "I am not giving up. I will confess to you till you finally agree to become my lover"
"I will be waiting for you to change my mind"
We just stayed like this for a while.
"I will miss your hugs" I said
"I will miss your hugs too"
"I will miss the kiss too"
"Forget about it"
She pushed me back and said, "By the way, Lil Das. What will you do with that liquid that came out from the Oyuoral?"
I almost forgot about it.
"Is it still in your room?"
"Yes"
"Bring it here. I will take it home with me"
"Okay" she got up and said, "Wait here, I will be right back"
She went out of the room.
[What will you do with it, Das?]
"I don't know. It's liquid, so it will be hard to maintain the shape, right?"
[I can maintain it if you want]
"But we already have the solid part"
[Using liquid would be a better option]
"I know, but I don't want you to...you know. I installed you to talk with you, and all I am doing is making your work"
[It's okay. I don't mind it]
"But I mind it"
[If the liquid is in direct touch with your body, like your system, then I can easily maintain the shape]
"Thanks Lily"
[For what?]
"I got an idea"
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
