Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Seven:
'Three Years Later'
Much has changed in the people I have met from three years ago. Even the Gods and Goddesses that I've met from three years ago, they gradually visiting the human Earth to just explore and experience life as a normal one.
So even though Navina is already in the underworld, she is still able to visit Rishna who is now married to Lucius for two years and they also have a child named after her sister Shechina. Reason to make Navina visit Rishna more frequent because of her niece and another interesting to know, is that Atlas her long lost guardian was resurrected by the King of Hell. So that she can have someone on her side while ruling Umbra Land in the Underworld.
Meanwhile, God Folkvar also known as Ansel, decided to stay in the underworld first to guard Haimon. That I badly wanted to do but I can't so I trust him with my man and wait until he comes to me.
"Shu!" Sai breaks my thought.
"Huh, oh! Sorry." I quickly answered before turning back to God Nayak. "So, what do you want to talk about?" I asked even though my heart start racing.
…
Merwa Mountain
"Why are we here?" I clueless asked.
"Because someone wanted to—oh, here he is." He said as he looks through my back that I got curious so I look back and saw…
"Hi Ms. Shu Tokino!" The King of Hell excitedly greeted me with a wide smile and seeing him makes me think if Haimon was with him. "He isn't here." He suddenly said.
"Huh?"
"The only man that you love."
"Oh," I take a deep breath then, "what are you doing here?" Sorry if I'm rude. I silently said to myself though all my thought will eventually read by a God and I am so sure he already read my thought.
"That will be fine." The King of Hell answered.
"Sorry." I replied.
"Anyway, I came here because I want to tell you that God Folkvar finally found a way to save your man."
"What?! Really!" I excitedly replied.
"Oh, so that will really give you excitement." The King of Hell excitedly answered that I suddenly felt a little bit embarrass. "Alright, you may go to Akand Village first and meet God Folkvar there."
"Huh?" I surprisingly answered.
"Oh, Nayak here will come with you."
"What?! You said–––"
"Come on. My dear wife and I have a date today so I have no time to take her there. So, you will take her, please?"
"But–––"
"You were heartbroken." The King of Hell cuts him off that I interrupted.
"I can go on my own." I spoke. "Besides I've been there a long time so there's nothing to worry about, I can really go on my own."
"Oh, really!" God Nayak excitedly answered with a wide smile before turning his head to his King. "You heard it, my King! She can go on her own."
"Uhm, thinking of it… She was right." He agreed and looks at me. "Okay! You may go on you own but please, try to accept whatever happened to your man."
"What are you saying?"
"You will know as soon as you meet Folkvar."
...
Akand Village
Up to that moment even though I was in Akand Village I still couldn't help but be nervous because of over-thinking what the King of Hell meant to imply. The supposed happiness I felt was not there, even more intense fear was there for some inexplicable reason. I just couldn't take it off even after I think of many ways to make me feel calm and relax. I just couldn't.
Add that I've been waiting for the arrival of God Folkvar for five hours and he's still not here. Where the hell he is? I wanted to shout but I keep it to myself.
"I really came from hell don't you know that?" Suddenly God Folkvar voice came out from my back that surprised me and quickly turned to him.
"God Folkvar!" I surprisingly answered.
He laughs. "Anyway, I'm sorry for letting you wait. I didn't mean it but I have some reason that is why I am late."
"Okay! Then, where is Haimon?!" I directly asked him about Haimon because I really wanted to see him.
I want to be with him. I want to live with him as long as I live and I will do anything just to be with him even if it means I will surrender my life just to be with him.
Three years, I wait for three years but then Haimon wait for me for one hundred years. He waited for me so long but for me I waited three years and for me I feel like I am dying, so how did he manage to wait for me for a hundred years? I really don't know and I cannot imagine anymore. I really can't!
"You do really love him." Suddenly God Folkvar breaks my thought and without a doubt I answered.
"Yes, I love him and I'm ready to surrender my life just to be with him." I sincerely answered.
"Okay! That's good but then, he wouldn't like it if he heard you say that. During his three years of perseverance to find a way to get you back, he never once asked you to die even though that was always our King's advice to him. Because he wants you to be free even without him by your side, so please stop that kind of thinking because it will never, going to happen. He will never allow it no matter what."
What he said gave me light so I just removed it from my mind but hopefully they have a solution to Haimon's resurrection so that I can be with him because I really miss him so much it really breaks my heart.
"Then, what is it about Haimon? What does the King of Hell mean?"
"Come. I'll show you what our King mean."
