CHAPTER 6: Reunite

“WAIT SERIOUSLY??!”

“indeed” Sage smiled. Elaine had widened eyes as she smiled brightly with excitement.

“I WOULD ABSOLUTELY LOVE TOO!”

“Well just to remind you again if you choose to join it won’t be all chocolates and sweets -”

“YEAH-YEAH WHATEVER can we skip the repeated explanation

*growls* ughh I am hungry damn it.”Elaine interrupted sage while hand on her stomach due to hunger.

“oh I see well in that case Umi please take them to eat before leaving to the village.I am sure the mayor will explain them the details required for the academy”Sage looked at umid and suddenly spoke in worried tone.

“Umi..You can’t teleport anymore can you?”

“tsk..i will manage”Umid replied while look away avoiding the eye contact.

“pretty sure it takes away energy to teleport huh?”Elaine asked pointing at Umid while looking at sage.

“yes, he has been teleporting since two days” sage replied while offering  water in a leaf to Umid.

“WELL, that explains why his eyes feels like a drunken creep” Elaine giggled

“MIND YOUR LANGUAGE YOU BRAT” Umid angrily ran behind Elaine while she ran and hid behind the stone where stage sits .

Umid suddenly stopped running as he realized he was being childish .He turned around and started walking out with and embarrassed face. “whatever, I am leaving ”Umid said while hand on face .

(Pffft, poor umi sage thought to himself)“Umi..dont teleport anymore, go eat with them and  walk to the village .”Sage gently spoke to which Umid stopped a moment and nodded his head and called Elaine out “hurry up brat unless you don’t want to eat.”

“NO WAIT!! I am cominggg!!”Elaine ran behind him looked back for  a sec at sage, smiled wide and waved him goodbye

As she waved her hand Sage witnessed a glimpse of smile ,it was someone who is long gone it was smile of the hope which shone bright just few years ago.

        Sage sat back on his stone closed his eyes as he remembered the Glimpse he had just  when  elaine wasn’t going to come to village

~ sages glimpse (a glimpse of a women in blurred view as she started screaming at Sanatan with tears in her eyes)

“SANATAN, don’t let the light go away again ! DON’T LET THE LIGHT LEAVE THE PEOPLE !SANATAN SAVE THE PEOPLE ! THE LIGHT IS LEAVING STOP HER!STOP HER.THE LIGHT IS LEAVING .WE NEED THE LIGHT!!

 Remembering the glimpse he spoke with a low voice while looking at the light coming from top of the cave“Did I made the right choice?” as the question lingered in the depth of his heart .

At entrance of the forest Beatrice was sitting on the rock waiting for Umid . ‘I wonder how Elaine is doing..i don’t how I will stay alone..this one year I spent with her was one the happiest memories I had ’ Beatrice wondered while staring at the ground as she remembered the first time she met Elaine

Beatrice’s pov

 1 year ago

At university during lunch break I remember I was crying because my own friends.Well,to be honest they weren’t even worth calling friends they had taken my lunch box and I couldn’t even utter a a word to refuse them. All I did was watch them helplessly use up my assignments and eat lunch every single day until that day when I sat near the same tree during the lunch break where you came near to me.

“DO YOU NOT LIKE YOUR LUNCH??!!”You were looking at me  with those bright shining eyes.

“WOULD LIKE TO HAVE SOME OF MINE? ”your voice was loud and clear it was like an overwhelming aura which shone brightly from you,Elaine.

“JUST go away!”I was still scared I ran away from you but that didn’t stop you from following me.Every single day you were there behind the same tree asking me to eat your lunch.

“COMEON!! JUST HAVE A BITE I MADE IT FOR YOU TODAY!!”

You screamed with the same bright smile of yours

Which finally I gave in and had first bite

It was so tasty I loved it in matter of time as days passed it was me searching for you to have lunch with I never talked much but you..you kept talking cracking jokes and making me instantly laugh. ‘You were special’ you were like a arrival of happiness in my life.Now that I remember I couldn’t really thank you ,you were there holding my back since the day we met.Saving me from creeps,getting beaten up bullies just for me,you didn’t care of what people thought about you.

Ahhh, I miss you I wish we could have stayed together for long I wish I could express all this in words

“ I wish I could tell you how much I cared for you, you were and are my true friend.”

I mumbled in a low voice

“DID YOU REALLY LIKE THE FOOD I GAVE YOU BACK THEN??”

All of sudden I heard the same voice from behind I couldn’t believe it as I turned around I was back in the same long arms I was feeling the same hug,the care I used to get, I just closed my eyes in your embrace

“HEH,to be honest I didn’t make that food for you i can’t cook you know”Elaine said with a smirk on her face.

“pffft why are you tell me that all of sudden and how did you know I was thinking about that?”Beatrice spoke while half laughing

“Are you done?”Umid looked at both the girls with an impatient look.

“IF you guys are done with your emotional drama then let’s get moving. I don’t have all day” he started walking in the direction of town.

“AS IF any one told you wait blehhhhh” Elaine showed her tongue out at him which he just gritted his teeth in irritation.

“Lets go Bliss I am so happy we can work together I am glad everything worked out. I will tell you all the details on the way to hotel I am SUPER HUNGRY!!”

“Okay lets go” Bliss smiled brightly as Elaine pulled her along the way and both of them ran cheerfully.

“Those sweet memories of my life spent with you are the best. They make me smile no matter what is going in my present life. Thankyou Elaine.”- Beatrice
