Chapter One Hundred Seventy-Seven:
Manu and Edelweiss House
Outside
"What are you talking about?" Ansel surprisingly asked me. "You want to hide the truth to Shu Tokino?"
"Yes, that is what I want to do. So, please don't tell her about it."
"But she will still know because we will go with them."
"That's why I'm telling you this so you can make a way. So, please I'm begging you. Do something about it," I pleaded. "Because I don't want her to know that it will be dangerous for me to go with her to the underworld."
…
Inside
"Where have you been?" I asked as soon as Haimon finally came back.
"Just outside why?" he answered and asked.
"Nothing but what did you do there?" because he was out for a while and it looks like he did something important there and I kind of had a bad feeling. I don't know, but there is something going on with him and I am so sure he was trying to hide something important and yet I couldn't ask him directly.
"Love," he came closer and hugs me. "I have something to tell you." He said that scared me.
"Wh-what is it?"
"Let's go outside." He said and breaks his hug and holds my hand.
When we got out, he took me to the side of the house and I immediately saw the blooming red roses surrounding the garden and in the middle of it there was a table set for two.
"Wh-what is the meaning of it?" confused I asked him.
"Well, I should tell you about it later but when I noticed the seriousness on your face I brought you here, even though we would have come out here at about eight o'clock. But well, here it is!"
I was really surprised by the surprise he prepared for me and he was right because it was only half past five but because of my reaction he eventually chooses to show it to me earlier than what he was planning to do. And I feel so guilty about it.
"I'm so sorry!" I said and hug him. "I ruin your surprise."
"No, you haven't!" he replied. "Besides, I won't be able to keep it a secret from you anymore so it's better that it happened."
"Uhm, okay!" I break our hug and look up to him. "Then, I think I should at least get dress and prepare myself, am I right?"
"Of course. Though, you are beautiful as it is." He lovingly answered that makes my face turned red.
"O-okay! I think I should go and get ready."
"Right." he answered and smiled.
That night we made the most of each other and we have a wonderful dinner date outside the house. After our dinner, Haimon offer his hand to me and ask me for a dance. At first, I doubted to accept it since there is no music playing that will dance us but then, I shyly accepted it and we stand up in the midst of the garden of roses. While under the stars and the moon, Haimon danced me to the only sound of insects' audible in the environment.
That whole night, we show our love for each other and we spend it without thinking of what our tomorrow will be. We just spend our whole night making love and freely set out our bodies and mind away from everything that will separate us tomorrow.
…
The Next Day…
"I think you two are ready." Ansel said as soon as he came at the front door.
"Yes, we're both ready." Haimon answered while still holding my hand.
"If then, let's go."
…
Akand Village
"Here we are." Ansel announced. "And you need to be ready, Shu Tokino." he said while looking at me.
"Yes, I am ready." I answered without a doubt or fear.
"Good." He answered. "Then, I'll let you two talks for a while." He said and together with Rishna and the others they went inside the palace.
"Are you sure about this?" I asked Haimon after Ansel and the others left us alone.
Because Haimon decided not to accompany me inside because he didn't want to see what would happen to my human body. That I also want to happen because I knew he would only be hurt when my earthly body lost its life. Though I will not be literally died still, my heart will stop beating and only God knows when it will beat again.
"Yes," he said and smiled. "But please, be safe there."
"I will."
"Then, I will wait until you return."
"Uhm," I answered and nodded before I hug him and he hugs back. "I love you, my Love."
"I love you too and I am missing you right now." he replied and hugs me more tightly.
…
"You're ready?" Ansel asked me when I lay down on the bed where my earthly body will remain.
"Yes, I am."
"Then, close your eyes and we will begin."
Meanwhile…
"If you're ready I'll start this." Galdur asked me.
Ansel already introduced me to Galdur before we even went here to Akand Village because he will be my guide to the underworld together with Sai. And since those two are already Demi-Gods they don't need to separate their earthly bodies and their spirit because they can freely enter the underworld. While me, they need to separate my spirit out my body so that I may able to enter the underworld without any problem.
"Yes, I'm ready." I answered.
"Good!" Galdur replied. "Lamusimag an yota." He speaks into a different language that I don't understand but then I just close my eyes and let them do their thing.
…
Underworld
The eyes of the creature on the throne were suddenly opened.
"My King, what is it?" his right hand asked him.
"We will have guests."
"Who's my King's guest?"
His lips suddenly formed into a half smile. "Someone from the past, present and future," he answered as he stands up from his throne. "This is it."
