"I was able to save him . . .
I did it .
I DID IT!!"
It wasn't just the man that was happy, Herald as well felt a sense of fulfillment he hasn't felt before .
To be able to save a life, that is certainly a heavenly feeling!!
Not only that, but being able to change fate now?!
" . . . How can it be?
None of the masters have told me that this was a possibility!!
I'll have to talk to Guiado, or reach out to Sir Alkeyder . . . "
Herald kept thinking about it on his way, he got in the car and drove it first towards his parents house .
They're the first priority here, after about half an hour he arrived .
He parked the car and got up the stairs, before he even knocks the door,
It was opened!
"Oh!!
I guess i can't even try pranking you anymore?"
Lumyeer . "I just saved you some energy, you'll need it when u become my age . "
The son kisses his father's hand and then they both hug tightly . . .
"How did you know i am here?" Herald asks .
Lumyeer . "Because it felt like you are . "
Herald just keeps staring at his dad with a smile . . . After going inside, he asks .
"Where is my Momma!??"
He knew she'd be in the kitchen so he went there, on his way he'll find that even his little brother is home .
"Louayyyyy!!! Hey there young man . "
Louay jumps out of his room and greets his bigger brother that he loves very much .
"How are you Herald?? You're good?"
Herald . "Yes i am, what about you baby?"
Louay . "Yeah, it has been so long where have you been??"
Herald laughs . "Just a studies trip, a great experience . . .
I haven't noticed when but you're becoming even taller than me!!"
Louay . "hahahahahah, yeah . . . So you better pay me more respect now huh!"
Hearing her son brought Floweria out of the kitchen to come greet him as well .
"Herald! Welcome home baby . "
Herald . "Momma . I miss you!"
*he hugs her very, very tightly and kisses her forehead*
Floweria . "I miss you too son, how was the trip?"
Herald . "Was great! Don't you see i came back as a new man . "
Floweria . "Hmmmm . . . Yes i felt that your body is stronger than it was before!
Sit down son, let's talk it all together at the dinner's table . "
After preparing the food, and eating it as they talk about how life has been for each one of them .
Herald was pushed to a lot of hiding and lying about his trip, he had no other solution at the end of the day .
After that, he visited his old room where he again takes a look at his old works, and stumbles on the letters he wrote long time ago . . .
This time he looks at it differently, as if his eyes showed scenes and memories of a forgotten past . . .
He went through some of the letters and read them .
He'd smile on some parts, some other he'll just look emotionlessly . . .
Unlike the other time, he picked it up on his bag!
Louay saw him reading it and commented .
"I am sorry to say, but i've also took a look at those letters . . . "
Herald looks back a bit shocked,
"Oh did you . . . "
"Yeah, So it was really tough for you back then . . .
I wouldn't know because i was just a little kid, you always looked fine to me, i never thought what was it that you wrote when you sat on that desk . "
Herald . "This is nothing . . . Everyone goes through that . "
Louay . "I can't say from what i've read that it's true .
But anyways, that was long ago . . .
Now you're soon getting married right?"
Herald looks at the ground, with a weird low voice he said .
"Ah . . . Yeah I am . "
Louay . "Make sure to stick to the music you've always listenned to . I want to dance my a.s.s off that day!"
Herald laughed back and kept joking with his little brother . . .
After that, his father asked him to have their usual walk .
He said he hasn't walked much lately and fears for his bones and joints .
Herald . "You should go out with mom often and have these kind of walks, why you only like them with me?"
Lumyeer . "You know your mom, if she doesn't have a thing to do she doesn't like moving her body .
And to be honest, I feel like . . . You're the one who can understand what i say most . "
A smile was drawn on the face of Herald . "Oh really, i am glad to know . . . "
Lumyeer . "Look at my eyes, Herald!"
"Hm?", said Herald confusingly .
Lumyeer . "Just look!"
As Herald was looking, Lumyeer started describing
" . . . So it was really a good trip!
What possibly have you learnt in there son?
You're a different man than what you were before, you look like you know what you can do three steps ahead . . . "
*Herald gets nerveous a little*
'How can he tell just by looking at my eyes . . .
I know he's my father but come on, does his fatherhood grant him such powers . . .
I sure wish to be a father soon then!" he said in his mind .
"Well, it was certainly a good three months, I don't know i just completely found myself in there .
The things we learnt were also very interesting, stuff about our past . .
I got inspired from a lot of things, maybe that is what you see in my eyes Dad . "
Lumyeer . "Hmmmm . . . I see son . I am grateful and proud of you .
You seem like you listenned well to what i have told you before, you see .
One cannot go wrong often if he listens to what his father says . "
Herald . "And thankfully, i have a father like you!"
Lumyeer . "But i don't know why this is all too similar to me, maybe there was a trip in the past where i have came back as a new man, or maybe it was just a life experince i don't quite remember .
Eeeeh, old age has me forgetting important things now huh!
What a shame . "
Herald . "It's alright dad, as long as you're not forgetting what's important to you now . "
"How is Muruem by the way?" The father asks .
"Oh she's fine, it's actually a bit awkward now that i am back .
We haven't done much talking so far . "
Lumyeer . "That is because you both have a lot of unsaid things you want to say .
But take your time!
Eventually she'll speak them all out, you only got to manage her feelings well . "
Herald . "Indeed father, indeed . . . "
