Chapter 31 - Feelings

I feel my belly tingle as I watch Samson think about his next words when Delilah's sweet voice brought him out of his reverie

"What a beautiful view,"

He nodded in agreement but not because of the view in front of us, at that moment nothing was more beautiful than Delilah, despite the sea in front of us, the moon reflecting the brightness and all that landscape,

nothing compared to her

"Today marks 5 years since we met, can you believe it?"

His eyes widened and he blinked twice, sounding funny even to me who was watching.

"And how do you know?"

Delilah turned her face flushed while saying

"I... I counted and marked the days"

I felt my heart speed up but I knew it was Samson's

I looked at his older version again, surprisingly he wasn't as strong anymore, he was as I knew him, but still without the scars, which made me try to guess what it was that did this

their voices were inaudible as I saw that scene of peace I felt at peace, as if nothing in this world could interrupt this

'This is Love? bring you peace?'

"Sorry to interrupt Samson"

I said while scratching my face in embarrassment

when he looked at me waiting for me to continue

"I know this question may seem strange but how can I feel what you feel and see your memories..."

I looked at the lake and the two young men in front of it

"What is love?"

Samson looked surprised then a peaceful smile appeared on his face before he turned his gaze to the scene,

I waited for a while as we saw more of their moments

"Love is difficult, we don't choose who we fall in love with, some said they were connections of the soul, others attraction of the flesh, but I think differently"

a silent tear fell down his face as he continued with a tone of sadness

"Love is all we need. It saves us from ourselves, from loneliness, from fears, but everything in this world is complicated so..."

he finished the next words with venom in his voice as the scenery changed

"Love can also take everything from us, our freedom, will to live and dreams.

But love is the bravest of feelings"

I remained silent while I saw several other scenarios, trying to absorb everything I learned and understand why the resentment in his voice

when the next sight made me understand

Delilah and Samson lying on a bed while he played with her hair

I felt his emotions and how much his heart was racing 

"Love, we've been together for a long time, and I still don't understand how you can be invincible?"

Samson laughed in amusement as he took a closer look at his partner's expressions.

"Well I'm not invincible, no man under heaven can call himself that, but my weakness is if I tie myself up with fresh wicker lintels"

Dalial smiled with a smile that could light up the room and gave him a long kiss before they began the action,

before I could be tortured the scene was cut and I saw the enemies attacking Samson in the middle of the night and tying him with the same rope he told her

I looked at the older version in disbelief as I questioned how he could be so...

"I was young, I was drunk on the love of a woman who never loved anyone"

'Still, how can you not see things so clearly?'

I looked at him suspiciously for a few seconds before seeing another scene again, the same scene repeated twice more, leaving me slightly irritated.

Even I felt betrayed that this woman deceived him for so many years

I saw him tell her his real weakness,

I observed the peaceful night and Delilah opened the door for some men, they cut Solomon's hair and tied him up,

Samsão woke up shortly after much of it had been ripped off and tried to free himself from the rope but was unable to do so.

This time I was pulled into Solomon's body and I felt his emotions, all

It was as if the betrayal of the love of your life had left such a huge echo inside me that I wasn't sure if I had ever been strong, or if it was all a delusion.

making me question if it was my fault for not being able to have her heart after so many years, if I was insufficient for her to love me...

I saw one more man approach before my vision went out

I returned to the older Solomon's side, now understanding his feelings making me want to cry,

'Love is painful, how can I trust someone with my weakness? What if she cheats on me too?'

The vision changed once again and now I was seeing a man, spinning around in a whirlwind while several other men were celebrating,

When I understood what was happening my vision started to blur.

I started crying with sadness, but with a stoic face out of respect for his moment, for the amount of pain he was going through,

They took off his blindfolds and I felt my heart sink when I saw that he no longer had his eyes, they had been ripped out.

a little ironic after being betrayed by your love at first sight

I saw Samson turn and look in my direction, and was surprised by my sadness

He gave a sad smile before looking back at the scene sadly.

I was unhappy with why he didn't feel angry? fury?

"Why? You don't feel anger or fury at them? They humiliated you and ended you so why?"

Samson looked into my eyes with sadness and skepticism before pointing to the scene again.

I internally snorted at his lack of answers before seeing that the man was now leaning against one of the pillars, and his hair was a little longer.

the hall was packed, everyone looking at him and laughing and mocking his achievements when the pillar cracked and he removed it from its place

In a matter of seconds the whole place went down and everyone was buried.

"I... that was my destiny, my mission or...

I don't know but I prefer to believe it"

He began to disappear into particles before approaching me and smiling affectionately.

"Don't leave here a worse person, seek your happiness above being a king, or a judge and the path will open of its own accord"

I unconsciously hugged him and saw him tremble when he was looking at me with tears in his eyes

"I wish I had a happy desti-..."

My eyes blinked and when they opened I was in a cave with an item in front of me.

on his plate was

"Congratulations on finishing the test

your evaluation Grade: S"

My eyes blinked and when they opened I was in a cave with an item in front of me.

on his plate was

"Congratulations on finishing the test

your evaluation Grade: S"

and a bottle on the side

"A gift left by a long-forgotten judge,"

Use wisely

-Samson

my hands started to shake as I picked up the bottle

"Thank you for the teachings, I will never forget you"

he said while making a pile of dirt in his honor.
