章 25: Ch. 1.24 end and the beginning
Kaidan and James got married, adopting two sons and a daughter. At the age of fifty, they retire from their work, give their company to their children to manage.
They travelled around the world, looking at different sceneries, trying different cultures and eating different cuisines.
They never have any major arguments, their fight is compose of James chiding and teasing Kaidan and Kaidan's retaliation.
"Are you okay in their Kaidan?" James ask, looking at his lover in a rocking chair. They are old now, their skin become saggy, hair turned white. Their movement become a lot slower.
"Yes, Can you please give me some water, I'm parched." Kaidan's replied, looking at his surroundings, for 65th years, they continue their life as a couple. Now that they are old, he wants peace and quiet, making them go back into the farm. The farm is very memorable for them. This farm sees how their love grows everyday. This farm watch how they grow a family. This farm perceive all their happy moments in life. This farm watched where their life begins and where it will be ended.
"You look older than me, slower than me, even when you're younger for five years. Is your arthritis is acting up again?" James chiding voice, giving him a water.
"Oh shut up! Come and sit with me, I want to hold your hand and look at the setting sun." tugging the sleeve of the man, patting a space on his side.
"Sure thing oldie!" James tease before complying Kaidan's request. Looking at his lover, he knew that Kaidan is dying, his gut feeling is telling him. His lover might not even wake up tomorrow morning.
It is hard, looking at the love of your life day by day, fighting a cancer. He know that Kaidan is now tired, the man is just to stubborn, the man is just to hard headed, not giving up knowing that it would break his heart.
"You can rest now you know, we been married for 65 years already. A long journey of us side by side, going through thick and thin." James said in a pained voice. It is hard on giving up, but it is harder for him looking at his lover, going on his everyday life in pain.
" I know, I'm sorry for going first. I love you! " and for the first time in sixty-five years, the three words, was uttered.
The two never said their I love you's with one another. They just show it by caring, by helping and by giving their partner their attention and support.
"I forgive you! And I love you also"
Silence reigns, they two holding hands, looking at the setting sun, reminiscing their past.
"It's beautiful, isn't it?"
"Yes, It sure is."
"The sun comes and go, just like our life, we rise and set. Life is beautiful, living is good but at the end, all of us will have to go." kaidan said, looking at his partner. When he first come in this world, his expectations is getting revenge and afterwards going old and dying without any companion, here he is now, 65 years later, with James looking at the rising sun.
"Let's go back, night is approaching." James said, helping kaidan to walk. Glancing again at the sitting sun.
Kaidan died in his sleep. He hesitated to leave this world, knowing that he would never see James again. The system have to resort on dragging his soul back to the Space.
"Congratulations for finishing your first World. For helping him." The mechanical voice welcome him. Eric just nod then lay on the blank space. He just want to sleep. He feels to tired.
"Are you okay?" the mechanical voice of the system rung on Eric's head.
"No!"
"Do you want to go to another world now?"

"Okay! Since you finished your first World, I will give you a reward, pick one skill you want to master in this list;

"I'll pick it when I'm ready"
"Okay, good night Eric"
For many days, Eric sleep in the space, nursing his heartbreak. He really missed James. His family. He wants to see how they are faring without him. He really hope that they would not be too sad.
"System! I'm ready now. I want to learn the Cooking skills."
"Okay! In three... Two... One..! everything about cooking would be put into your mind.. After fully digesting all the information, you will become a master chef in different cuisines."
"Wait! Can you tell me which world I'm going next?"
