章 12: Mute Requiem...
'After arriving to his house, Herald found no one at the house since Muruem is working.'
'Rested a little bit and decided to call his gang, and check on them after the incident.
The first one he called was Yussein.'
Herald. "Hey man, how are you?"
Yussein. "Hey Herald, am okey..
What about you?"
Herald. "Physically fine.."
Yussein. "I know, we all are in the same boat brother.
By the way, Leon's funeral was yesterday night."
Herald forgot that funerals even exist before Yussein brought it up to his ears.
Herald. "Oh FUCK!! Why haven't anyone of you told me that?"
Yussein. "We figured that you wouldn't want to come, Leon's was everybody's guy but it was clear you were affected the most.."
Herald. "What nonesense is that??
Ofcourse i would've come regardless. I have to pay his family their last respects."
Yussein. "Well today we're going to visit his grave. I was going to call and inform you about it."
Herald. "Is that so? Well yes i am coming.
At what time?"
Yussein. " At 5pm."
And so, after laying on the bed some time and reading mangas..
It was time to head towards the Cemetry.'
'All the gang came as well, even Merria.'
'It was not like any other meeting before, silence and sadness was clearly taking over the place, no jokes were made for the first time in 8years.'
'They all stood next to their brother's corpse, burried in soil...Truly a feeling that no one imagined to live this young..
The first to say something was Zeko.'
"I admit that when i first met our brother Leon, i did not like him and hated his company.
I don't even know why i did but, the me of back then is someone i am not proud of.
Leon was a joy maker for us, It is true that i don't know whether there is a God or not...
But if he's there, I am praying for our brother Leon to be placed in paradise, as he truly deserves it."
the rest of the gang said in a loud voice "AMEN."
'Yussein was the next to take the parole.'
"For me, i have always enjoyed being arround Leon. Be it now or 10years back
He was the first one i knew from all of you.
Yet,I am not sure that there is a single person in this whole planet, that is even a bit similar to him.
I will miss him greatly, and ALL of us...
May he rest in peace."
*Again*
"AMEN!!"
'One after another, the gang members spoke their last words towards their companion.
Herald was the last to say something.'
"...My brother Leon,
I could not imagine not receiving your call on a monday morning asking me what plans i have for the week...
That you would not come ask me for advices to deal with females...
That i wouldn't be roasted by you on every single minute of our talk...
Your weird creative usage of language...
It is bitter to know, that i could not save you my brother.
'Herald as he continued talking, started tearing up a lil bit. But kept his tone the same.'
"It is with great regret and love, that i am saying goodbye to you, not in my heart nor in my mind...
Only to your presence between us.
Your soul and image will not leave me as long as i am here.
Tomorrow, we'll meet again and i'll tell you everything we had ever done since you left."
'Everybody got chills from hearing Herald's speech. None other than he can express his feelings so soundly and at the same time, so emotionally.'
'Suddenly, a pretty short young woman comes from behind and stands next to Herald
and says.'
"...I haven't known you for long enough Leon, for my tears to be dropping heavily on my cheeks.
But for the little time that i did. My cheeks would not stop hurting from smiling and laughing.
I was looking forward, to pass much more than we were able to.
I do not forgive you for going so quickly...
I did not know you have such great friends by the way.. You never talked about them to me.
You are lucky to have them."
'Herald, after hearing the young woman talk immediatly knew that she's the new girlfriend Leon had told them about...It made him even more emotional and sad.
But also, happy...'
'Happy that his brother had found a soul that matches his, and that he died as a happy man.'
'the visitors didnt stop, and this time its none other than Leon's parents...'
His father said. "..Greetings, my son's family.
I have heard everything you told him from afar...
I got to say that my son had chosen his friends wisely, as i taught him.
Leon, since he was a kid was the least problematic child of all my sons.
Never he raised his voice on neither me or his mother. Although i knew he got in a period where he started smoking, i did not want to interfree..
I regret not doing so, but i didnt think my son's life was written to be that short...
I experienced both losing a father and a son, i have no doubt in my mind that losing a son is the more painful experience...
But i accept whatever God's will is. I just ask him to be kind to my son up there. For the love of he.."
'This time, the AMEN was so loud it was heard all over the graveyard...'
*Night came down...*
'Leon's parents invited all of them to have dinner,
Herald and Oumad were the only one to reject because of solid reasons.'
'Herald hugged each and every one of them, and took a ride back to his house using Oumad's bike.'
*On the road*
Oumad. "It was great...What you said to Leon."
Herald. "..I still feel like i haven't said enough. I wish...
I wish just for once, to hear his laugh..."
Oumad, "Are you sure you want to do so?"
Herald. "...I am not, but i don't care!!!
I want it to grace my ears for a final time...'
Oumad. "Hold on me tightly..."
'Oumad in million split of a second, takes Herald in between the realm of time..'
'Herald was astonished of how incredible and vast it is, it looked to him as an infinite place in space
Which it is actually, but the amount of images and sounds... it can break any regular human's mind
But being an Atlantean, all negative effects are to be dismissed and refuted..'
*While he's being amazed by the view.. He heard a familiar voice...*
The voice of Leon
Oumad took Herald to one of his old memories, one when they were both searching for a job and being rejected multiple times...
This conversation happened on the edge of the sea and was recorded by Oumad on his phone..
Leon. "...Man, life is tough... We still haven't found a job yet!! Curse this cursed country and life!!!
Thinking of the future gonna make my mind run out of his damn place..
A man has to marry and shit you know, we got to provide for the family.."
Oumad while holding his phone and recording him, couldnt stop his laugh at the time.. Leon rarely ever talks seriously and it is even funnier when he does...
The fuck you're recording me for bro?? You trynna get hold of this dick ?"
*Leon laughs..*
Not the kind of laughter that you make when u burst out after seeing something funny.
But a laugh that is...so sincere,so geniuine...
A heartwarming laughter...
Herald Until today had never laughed and cried at the same time...
It was unexplainable.
*back to reality*
Oumad. "...You're satisfied?"
Herald with tears and a smile on his face. "..Like no other time in my life.
Thank you brother."
Oumad smiles, then raises the speed of his bike...
*Herald got inside the house at about 8pm.*
'This time he finds Muruem, she'll jump on him as soon as she saw him.
Both sat and talked the rest of the night.'
While laying on their bed waiting for sleep to come, Herald told her.
"How about a little trip to the mountains in this weekend??
Since you dont work on fridays, we'll have enough time.
It's been so long since we last did something of that nature."
*Muruem replies excitedly.* "Oh REALLY? YES I AM IN. I am so tired of working and stress
This will clear out both our minds and souls."
Herald. "Thats what i thought."
'And so it was set. Both lovers will go on a 2 days trip to the mountains, starting from tomorrow.'
