Chapter 86

"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 . . . "
