Chapter 4 - CHAPTER 4 THE LAVENDER VALLEY (PART 2)

Chanyeol- Right now we can't do anything. We have to wait till night.

Timeskip at night outside the university

Olivia- Finally, we are here, so let's start our work

Haru- Yes, but everyone be careful. This is very risky and we have to be together and protect each other.

Olivia- And why is Sister Diana here?

Haru- She is also coming with us.

Chanyeol- Ok, So time is perfect now, let's get in

infront of the lavender valley entrance

Chanyeol- What is happening to it now? Why is it not opening ?

Haru- Maybe it will open only in daylight

Olivia - No I don't think so. I think it will open if the stone is in my hand. Last time it also glowed when it was in my hand, so let me try it.

Chanyeol- OK take it

With that, she took the stone in her hand and the entrance to the lavender valley opened and all of them sank inside and as they entered there the view was really pretty. All around there was a beautiful lavender flower garden and a big yet beautiful entrance gate.

Olivia- You are all liars. Seeing how beautiful this valley is and what you said, this would be dangerous. I can even complete this task alone.

Chanyeol- Control your excitement. We still don't know what is coming next, so let's get inside.

When they got inside it, the view which was in front of them made their determination flew way with the front door.

Because of that, Olivia was ready to plan her first murder in the 22 years of her life for taking her there with no further information or warning.

Because the view in front of them was not appreciable at all, the view was just the opposite of what they saw before.

Because they were standing in front of the graveyard at the entrance, it was written 'Welcome to Cemetery Point'.

iron fences and gates, a paved driveway winding between the graves, a chapel, sun-blanched stone angels, carved headstones, can be seen there. Crying or sniffing, people speaking in low voices, whispered prayers, the rustle of dead flowers being removed, the snip of shears, a broom rustling sound can be heard.

After some time, darkness drenched the graveyard. The only light visible was from the front gate, which is shining now. Everything was carved so delicately but slowly eroding away. There was a figure which was the most striking. Her face was menacing and enough to cause nightmares. Then Olivia said 'are you sure we have to continue this? Just look at her. I think she will eat me alive. Do something with your powers. I want to go back.

Chanyeol- We can't use our powers here. We have to reach its end and get the lavender flower, then we can only escape from here and this is just the first gate. We have one more gate left. And all of you remember we have to move forward together. We can't leave any of us.

Haru- But what do we have to do to open the second gate?

Chanyeol- We have to make this lady's soul's suffering end by completing her last wish and then this mournful graveyard turns back into a beautiful valley

Haru- You don't have to worry. Then I have experience of escorting so I can talk to her

Diana- Yes, we can rely on our boss for this matter.

Chanyeol - Ok lets go and try to talk to her and all of you remember if she becomes fierce or tries to attack us, you all have to hide behind me because she can't harm me

With that started going near her as they were walking towards it, the atmosphere is slowly becoming dense and horrible more grows can be heard as they were saying them don't go there you all were calling your death after a while they are standing near the women her back was facing them then haru said ' Dear Miss Scarlete I am grim ripper from santfodium block 4 We are here to help you if you tell us your wish and after making your wish true I will escort you to afterworld which is your real place

Diana- Boss, what are you saying? You don't have an order for this and you will be punished for escorting without permission.

Haru- Don't worry, I will handle it

Suddenly, a groaning from a lady was heard and all of them moved backwards due to air pressure because she was not listening to them and ready to attack them, but after seeing a stone in Chanyeol's hand made her a little calm and started crying, which confused all of them. Then the lady said," You don't know I hate promises and dare to come here. This is all an illusion. Nothing is going to happen. He also promised me we would live together forever, but see we are separated now, so if you want your life, get out right now.

Olivia- I know how it hurts and no matter how much time passes you can't forget the memories, it just becomes clearer. It is more painful than dead, so believe us and if we can't be able to help you, we are ready to pay for it because it will be a consequence of our own choices.

Lady - If you all want, then do, but I will not wait for long. Remember you are not battling with living.....

Haru- Ok but you just have to look into my eyes.

With that, he looked into her eyes and now he could look at the past of the lady and all her memories were in front of him.

flashback of Scarlette's memory

The boy whom Scarlette mentioned was Lucas, and Scarlette meets Lucas when he has nothing left. He is just going to end his life, but that day

Lucas- A few months ago, I had everything in my life, but now I am left with nothing now. I know no one cares about anybody and the person whom we thought our loved ones is with us only for our money and fame, but now I have neither, so they just left me. There is nothing to do now. I can't even stand how I am going to perform and I can't do this anymore. My recovery needs 1 month and I can't hold it anymore. I think dying will be a better option.

With that, he started to move his wheelchair from the bus stop. It was raining but he didn't stop. Then only Scarlette saw him and kept his umbrella on the top of his head and said" You are not looking really well and sitting here in the rain is not a good option for a strange reason. Her words made Lucas cry. He just forgot the idea of dying and sitting there all alone. He didn't think he will see Scarlette again, but she just shifted in his neighborhood and Lucas watch her going somewhere in rain a small smile appear in his face and he put the umbrella above her head and said hi my name is Lucas do you remember yesterday we met take this with you, after that he started following her everywhere

Scarlette- Just stop chasing me. How long are you going to do it?

Lucas- I am following you because I am your fan and I can see sparkles in your eyes

Scarlette- are you sure I think you are just a stalker?

Lucas- If you think like that, then you start following me because I am not going to leave you

Scarlette- and I am not going to do that

Lucas- Thats why I am doing it. I know you are lonely because a hurt person can feel others' pain.

The next day at Scarlette's workplace, she is a child story writer.

Lucas- Hi why are you not home yet? I really missed you. Wait, you are burning up and still writing there. Let's go home. You are not working any more.

He took care of her whole night and her fever was also gone in the morning. Scarlette woke up first and found Lucas beside her bed.

Lucas, oh you woke up. I think your fever is gone. Now I will take my leave, bye and please take care of yourself, at least for me, so that I can follow you around. Bye

Unknownly, a small smile appeared on Scarlette's face.

After one month

Scarlette- (text to Lucas)-[did you reach there safely thank you for that day]

Scarlette - No no I should sound cool like ummmm[ Thank you for the porridge. I really like that]

Scarlette - noon just do it like [What are you doing] noooo

Just then she got Lucas' text.

Lucas - [ what are you doing] a small chuckle left scarlette mouth and she started dancing in tiny

After 1 more month, Lucas's leg recovered and he started his shows again.

Scarlette- So when is your next show?

Lucas - Next month and this time you are coming with me. No more excuses

Scarlette- Ok

Lucas- so shall I leave

Scarlette- NO

Lucas- so shall we be here the whole night?

Scarlette- NO

Lucas- do you have a boyfriend?

Scarlette- No

Lucas- Then Husband?

Scarlette- NO

Lucas - Then fiance?

Scarlette- No

Lucas- so just propose me then

Scarlette- NO !!!!! Wait what

Lucas - Am I not obvious enough?

Suddenly, he kneeled down on his knees and started saying, I don't know how to express my feelings and I am not good at words, but you are just like a hope of light in my dark world. You give me your hand when everybody pushes me away from them. I don't know if I will be perfect or not, but I can promise there will only be happy tears in your eyes. I can't give you a luxury life, but I will make your life beautiful, for sure. Can I become the beautiful flower blooming on your tree like spring forever? Will you be my girlfriend? No no I can't. Wait for that long will you be my WIFE?

Scarlette- with happy tears YES YES A THOUSAND TIMES YES. You don't know how long I have waited for this but you take really long time.

Lucas- sorry

Scarlette- Now why are you sorry I am not complaining. I am really happy.

after 3 months of their marriage

Lucas and Scarlette were walking on the road. Suddenly, it came toward Lucas but Scarlette pushed him and went in front of it and the truck hit her really hard, due to which she died away immediately, leaving Lucas again with painful sorrow and regret.

The flashback ends here now with Olivia Chanyeol Haru and Scarlette Soul's

Olivia, Chanyeol and Diana have tears in their eyes, then only Haru sees Olivia and says

Haru- Why are you crying? Olivia

He turned around and saw Chanyeol and Diana.

Haru- you both also crying

Diana- You can't understand it, sir, when you fall in love. Then you can know the sorrow of separation and now you have a habit of escorting.

Olivia- Leave this,. But why don't you go to the afterworld? Do you also want him to go with you or something which is missing?

Scarlette soul- The real reason is if I go from here, then he will again try to end his life and I can't see his miserable state, and if you all make him understand, then I can leave from here with peace and will wait for him to come to me, because he is the only one who understands me and make me believe in love, make me forget my bad days by creating beautiful memories

Chanyeol - We are ready for it and I am going to do it not only for you but for myself also. Just send us where Lucas is OK.

With that scarlette, he sent them into front of Lucas' house . Right now, Lucas has locked himself in the room where his and scarlette memories were there.

Chanyeol, are you all ready? Have any of you thought about how we are going to make him understand?

all shook their heads as no

Chanyeol - Then let's think together and we don't have enough time

all shook their heads as yes

Haru- I have one idea. If we make Scarlette and Lucas meet each other for the last time, then what do you think?

Olivia- It will be great, but how is this possible?

Haru - We grim rippers have this power. For once, we can do this. But this is not the real challenge. We have to make him come with us, leaving his memories and regrets. I can only give him a chance, but the choice has to be made by him.

Diana- Don't worry, we will all convince him. Let's go on

Inside Lucas' house in Scarlette's room, there is Lucas miserably crying his heart out. They go there

Lucas-(crying) Why do you go from here after giving me the reason to live and again snatch it away from me? Just why did I do anything wrong? Just tell me what my mistake was. See I am crying here. Can't you come to console me? Please, I miss you. Come back to me, will you???

Chanyeol - Nothing is your mistake, it's just your fate and if the end is not happy, then maybe it's not the end.

Lucas - (Startled) who are you and how you all come here. Just get out

Haru- We are not here to go empty handed. We are here for you. Just come with us.

Lucas- What do you think of yourself? I am never going to leave my Scarlette and I am going to her very soon.

Haru- Just your one mistake will cut all yours and Scarlette all your ties, so don't do any stupidity

Olivia- What do you think Scarlette will be happy after seeing you like this? You have to live just for Scarlette.

Chanyeeol- You have to complete both of your stories and make your love alive forever with you

Lucas- You can't all understand my suffering. Only I am the one who is going through it.

Chanyeol- This is not what I want to hear. There must be some reason you come to this extent to end your life.

Lucas - Because she died due to me, could you all listen if she didn't save me that day because this had never happened.

Olivia- Then what do you think she will be happy seeing you drowning like this, that which she saved for her life?

Chanyeol- Just you have to end this regret and stop running away and face the reality she is gone and taking life will only cut you from her forever

Haru- You want to take your life because you are afraid of tomorrow more than death, but this choice will only make you more regret. I don't want to do this, but I don't have any other option. Look into my eyes from now. You will follow me. You will follow me.

Haru- Diana go and make scrlette come here as soon as possible I can't control him from taking his life for more time because human will power have more strength than anything

Diana- Yes boss

With that, she go to take Scarellete here and Lucas and other are at rooftop now

Lucas- How am I here? Just leave me. I can't live anymore.

Olivia- Did you forget your promise you would bloom forever for her? Your love is enough for both now. What happened to that?

Lucas - What will I do with this love when she takes my heart with her

With that, Lucas ran toward the railing to jump, but suddenly Scarlette got there. After seeing her, Lucas hugged her really tightly like if he will leave her she would disappear forever.

Lucas- you are so bad. Why you leave me is this only because of me. I am sorry. Please don't leave me or take me with you.

Scarlette- You are still a brat like before, scaring me with your actions. Now promise you will live for me for our beautiful moments. Just complete our story and I will be waiting for you at the end with blossoms, and this time I would propose you promise me so that I can leave and don't cry too much. OK, be a good boy.

Lucas- Yes, but I will only love you forever after that, forever and if forever didn't exist for us, then I will also try to live for us and complete our story and tell everybody about us. Your silly talk and don't be angry there ok

Both laughed with painful tears and Scarellete's soul vanished in the air and Lucas fell on his knees crying hard.

From that day, he started working again and cherished every moment with his Scarelette's memories

Right now in Lavender Valley

They were all there and the painful graveyard turned into a beautiful and bright valley with flowers, fountain birds and a big glowing door which led them to their destination, the lavender valley, but there were no flowers at all.

Olivia- I am not crying, but what will happen next?

Haru- Dont worry they will meet again and this time forever. I have seen his eyes, so let's go forward with a happy and smiling heart.

Chanyeol - But where is the flower? Why can't we see it?

Olivia- Because you are seeing with your eyes, just try to search for it with your heart and it will appear because it is the thing your master wants to tell you which you can't understand. All wars can't be won with swords.

after finishing her statement, a bright light appeared and a beautiful lavender flower landed on Olivia's hand and they all went out of the valley and now they are outside their university where Noah is waiting for them.....

To be continued....
