*Herald puts on his headphones and plays his playlist.*
'He keeps repeating the conversation he had with Guiado in his head...
How could he not tell him about such important thing before!?? But then again..
Will it be of any difference? 2 or 3 days wouldn't change much.'
'The pace of fate is hitting herald hard on the face...'
'In these hard times, his Father's image comes visiting his cloudy mind. He only then realizes how much he had missed him.
It's been almost a month since he last visited them...'
'It might not seem to be the time for such feeling, given the excessive importance of the recent events, but he is now feeling pretty regretful that he hadn't payed, not only his father but also his mother their love and respect that they deserve...'
'The reason why Herald thought of his parents, and especially his father.
Is because he's the wisest man he had ever known.
Herald wouldn't be the man he is today without the guidance of his old man.
In this hard times, his advice is greatly needed.'
'When it comes to his mother, it is an obvious thing how the warmth and stability of a mother can impact her son. Just looking at her pretty face will make him sure of his next step...'
'Therefore, Herald decides that he should spend some days with his parents before taking any decision.
So he waited until his Muruem comes back from work and then told her about his desire to go see his parents. Muruem agreed and actually encouraged him to do so, as she realized that he hasn't visited them in a while and she was starting to feel afraid they might think she's isolating him from them. '
'Herald tells her to take away these negative thoughts, for they are untrue...
Then both of them spent a very lovely night together, herald drew his woman while she's laying so attractively on the white blanket of their bed, and both of them slept together soundly, after doing some lewd stuff..'
'Herald badly needed this, they cuddled and traveled to the world of dreams....'
'Early in the morning, herald wakes up before Muruem. Plays with her hair gently for some time and then gets up to prepare breakfast for both of them..
After doing so, he saw that Muruem is still in deep sleep so he didn't want to bother her and wake her up, he knows she's tired from working the whole week and from taking care of him this past month... Going to pass some days in his parents' house may be a good thing for her too.'
'Herald packs up some of his clothes silently, grabs the keys of his car and heads out to his childhood home.
The place where he passed a lot of his time and made a lot of memories in. '
'His parents still live in a little, very calm city for about 22years now. exactly when Herald was only 3years old. It's a very simple place, not many cars or people, but enough buildings and institutions.
It is a perfect mix between the old and new, the natural and the humanly made.
After an hour, Herald steps out of his car and looks at the familiar scene of his neighborhood...
Giving him all sort of nostalgic feelings.'
'Herald stands now right at his parent's door.'
*Knocks on it*
His father answers, "Who is it?"
Herald, "IT S THE POLICE SIR, WE ARE HERE TO BRING YOU SOME UNFORTUNATE NEWS. YOUR SON HAS DIED JUST HOURS AGO...."
His father, who's called Lumyeer by the way, replies carelessly, "Well tell him that his father said goodbye"
And then opens the door.
Herald laughs and says, "Really man!! You don't care what happens to your son?"
Lumyeer, "Just like you don't care what happens to your parents, son."
Herald hugs his old man so tightly and kisses his forehead, "Oh please, if you only knew how much i care."
Lumyeer, "Not more than us that's for sure; welcome home daddy's boi!!
Come in."
Herald, shoutting loudly, "MOMMAAAA, the real man of the house is back home again."
*His father gives him a quick slap on the back of his head*
Herald's mom heard her son from the kitchen and replied, "OH!!! Welcome Herald, it's been quite some time.."
Herald heads towards his mom and hugs her a bit harder than he did to his father, "I miss you Mom...
What did you cook for me today?"
Floweria, is the name of his mother. Said, "Me too son, why didn't you visit us often this past month? Your soon to be wife is taking you by force right?"
Herald laughs and remembers what Muruem told him last night, "Oh no mom!! She actually encouraged me to come here and spend some days with you. I was at first busy with my project, then one of my dearest friends died just recently, so i was in a bit of a slump."
Lumyeer, "Which one?"
Herald, "Leon, you used to see him a lot back in the day when you were bringing me up to the university with your car...the guy with glasses.."
Lumyeer, "Oh yeah, i remember..Sorry for your loss son, may God bring him salvation."
Herald, "Ameen.."
Floweria, "So you'll spend some days here you said? "
Herald, "Yes mom, i miss my old room and everything about this city, and most importantly you two. I realise that i haven't been so good to both of you lately, providing you financially is not enough.
So i figured i should be here physically, beside that it will bring peace to my mind and soul."
Lumyeer, with a surprised proud look, "Oh! Who's this guy that's talking to us?
You weren't saying things like this before..."
Herald, smiling "Well, you only realise things when they're missing sometimes.. But you know well that it's how i always felt in my heart Dad."
Lumyeer, putting his hand on his son's head and rubs his hair, "Yeah yeah..."
Floweria, "Your room is the same still since the last time you came here Herald, in fact your brother Eyman was here just last weekend too."
Herald, "Oh really, How is he doing??
I haven't talked to him in about a week too. how dare he not tell me that!!"
Floweria, "He's been quite busy too, you know he just started his business.."
Herald, "What about Louay?
Is he in school now?"
Floweria, "Kind of! He went to a school trip just yesterday morning."
(Louay is now 15years old, Eyman is 20)
Herald, "Oh...I was hoping to see my babyboi as well..
He's fine and well right?"
Floweria, "Yeah, as always thankfully.
Go change your clothes and rest meanwhile i complete cooking Herald."
'Herald then enters his room, takes a moment to admire the scene of it.'
'It is by no metrics a big room, and to add on top, it was all of the three brothers room.
They shared literally the same oxygene and carbone for years and years, this alone made their tie unbreakable, they may not talk for extended period of time but, they are connected on a whole other level. '
'Herald changes his clothes and starts to look into things that he had owned when younger...
He stumbled on a book that had pretty much all of his best drawing sketches from back in the day...
He was happy to find it again as it was lost for some time, he figured that his mom did find it...
Since she always finds him things he loses carelessly.'
'He also found a mini book that had written letters by him, to someone...
Someone from the long long, never completely forgotten past...'
'...But that is a story for another day to tell...
He gave it a quick look, this time with no emotions in his eyes nor his face...and puts it back on the desk.'
'Herald lays down on his loved bed and felt complete comfort as his back layed so perfectly on the soft sofa..
He appreciated these moments whole heartedly, this feeling cannot be replicated anywhere else except here, in his home and between his family.'
