"I was able to save him...
I did it.
I DID IT!!"
It wasn't just the man that was happy, Herald as well felt a sense of fulfillment he hasn't felt before.
To be able to save a life, that is certainly a heavenly feeling!!
Not only that, but being able to change fate now?!
"...How can it be?
None of the masters have told me that this was a possibility!!
I'll have to talk to Guiado, or reach out to Sir Alkeyder..."
Herald kept thinking about it on his way, he got in the car and drove it first towards his parents house.
They're the first priority here, after about half an hour he arrived.
He parked the car and got up the stairs, before he even knocks the door,
It was opened!
"Oh!!
I guess i can't even try pranking you anymore?"
Lumyeer. "I just saved you some energy, you'll need it when u become my age."
The son kisses his father's hand and then they both hug tightly...
"How did you know i am here?" Herald asks.
Lumyeer. "Because it felt like you are."
Herald just keeps staring at his dad with a smile... After going inside, he asks.
"Where is my Momma!??"
He knew she'd be in the kitchen so he went there, on his way he'll find that even his little brother is home.
"Louayyyyy!!! Hey there young man."
Louay jumps out of his room and greets his bigger brother that he loves very much.
"How are you Herald?? You're good?"
Herald. "Yes i am, what about you baby?"
Louay. "Yeah, it has been so long where have you been??"
Herald laughs. "Just a studies trip, a great experience...
I haven't noticed when but you're becoming even taller than me!!"
Louay. "hahahahahah, yeah...So you better pay me more respect now huh!"
Hearing her son brought Floweria out of the kitchen to come greet him as well.
"Herald! Welcome home baby."
Herald. "Momma. I miss you!"
*he hugs her very, very tightly and kisses her forehead*
Floweria. "I miss you too son, how was the trip?"
Herald. "Was great! Don't you see i came back as a new man."
Floweria. "Hmmmm...Yes i felt that your body is stronger than it was before!
Sit down son, let's talk it all together at the dinner's table."
After preparing the food, and eating it as they talk about how life has been for each one of them.
Herald was pushed to a lot of hiding and lying about his trip, he had no other solution at the end of the day.
After that, he visited his old room where he again takes a look at his old works, and stumbles on the letters he wrote long time ago...
This time he looks at it differently, as if his eyes showed scenes and memories of a forgotten past...
He went through some of the letters and read them.
He'd smile on some parts, some other he'll just look emotionlessly...
Unlike the other time, he picked it up on his bag!
Louay saw him reading it and commented.
"I am sorry to say, but i've also took a look at those letters..."
Herald looks back a bit shocked,
"Oh did you..."
"Yeah, So it was really tough for you back then...
I wouldn't know because i was just a little kid, you always looked fine to me, i never thought what was it that you wrote when you sat on that desk."
Herald. "This is nothing...Everyone goes through that."
Louay. "I can't say from what i've read that it's true.
But anyways, that was long ago...
Now you're soon getting married right?"
Herald looks at the ground, with a weird low voice he said.
"Ah...Yeah I am."
Louay. "Make sure to stick to the music you've always listenned to. I want to dance my ass off that day!"
Herald laughed back and kept joking with his little brother...
After that, his father asked him to have their usual walk.
He said he hasn't walked much lately and fears for his bones and joints.
Herald. "You should go out with mom often and have these kind of walks, why you only like them with me?"
Lumyeer. "You know your mom, if she doesn't have a thing to do she doesn't like moving her body.
And to be honest, I feel like...You're the one who can understand what i say most."
A smile was drawn on the face of Herald. "Oh really, i am glad to know..."
Lumyeer. "Look at my eyes, Herald!"
"Hm?", said Herald confusingly.
Lumyeer. "Just look!"
As Herald was looking, Lumyeer started describing
"...So it was really a good trip!
What possibly have you learnt in there son?
You're a different man than what you were before, you look like you know what you can do three steps ahead..."
*Herald gets nerveous a little*
'How can he tell just by looking at my eyes...
I know he's my father but come on, does his fatherhood grant him such powers...
I sure wish to be a father soon then!" he said in his mind.
"Well, it was certainly a good three months, I don't know i just completely found myself in there.
The things we learnt were also very interesting, stuff about our past..
I got inspired from a lot of things, maybe that is what you see in my eyes Dad."
Lumyeer. "Hmmmm... I see son. I am grateful and proud of you.
You seem like you listenned well to what i have told you before, you see.
One cannot go wrong often if he listens to what his father says."
Herald. "And thankfully, i have a father like you!"
Lumyeer. "But i don't know why this is all too similar to me, maybe there was a trip in the past where i have came back as a new man, or maybe it was just a life experince i don't quite remember.
Eeeeh, old age has me forgetting important things now huh!
What a shame."
Herald. "It's alright dad, as long as you're not forgetting what's important to you now."
"How is Muruem by the way?" The father asks.
"Oh she's fine, it's actually a bit awkward now that i am back.
We haven't done much talking so far."
Lumyeer. "That is because you both have a lot of unsaid things you want to say.
But take your time!
Eventually she'll speak them all out, you only got to manage her feelings well."
Herald. "Indeed father, indeed..."
