Memories of the past ....

Everyday Ariel would always make sure to be there for Darrel, when he wake up in the morning.

It was like there ritual to be there for each other, starting there day with being each other's lucky person.

But today, like the atmosphere was conveying his inner feelings for him. There was a kind of inexplicable serenity in the weather it wasn't changing like autumn or extremely cold like winter; making one feel varied emotions in these windy atmosphere especially reminding them of their own dark histories.

"When are you gonna stop, Ariel?

"You can't destroy yourself like this, I didn't raise you for this—for— for being a coward Ariel."

The old man didn't know what to say or do to Ariel who was mourning in his lover's death. He himself wanted to but something stop him, the wailing of the little child who is craving for his dad's love wanting to be hold in his arms who didn't deserve any of this misfortune. He had to be strong for him.

" You have to stop it Azriel..... Not for yourself but for that little one,take this into account Ariel you are not alone. .....now"

"I know dad.... But I can't do this alone dad I need him..

" He need you more than anything Ariel," a raging voice echoed in the dark hallways.

"I need him, dad. I can't do this without him...

He... We promised each other to be there for us and the baby... Our baby.

" You...Ah anhhh..

Hearing his words the old man couldn't gather up the courage to say something anything.

Ariel's bloodshot red eyes were glowing fiercely under the light of the fireworks in the dark room and in that moment Robert started panicking because it was a danger sign for destruction itself which even if he wants too he can't be able to stop from happening.

Thud... thud...

In the next second, Robert saw Ariel destroying the baby craddle in front of him which he bought for the baby being thrashed into pieces but something stop him from reaching further, his first instinct was to protect the baby from him but he knew that they were safe.

Because Ryang's never killed an innocent person and in this case his own blood that resembles the person he is been mourning.

Swift..

And just like that in one swift motion he was out of the house deep into the forest.

"Aaah... aahhhhhhhhhhhhh.. ...

Seeing him like this, he couldn't hold up himself....

.....

....

....

At Ivy Woodland Cottage.

Ivy Woodland was made by his grandparents-Robert and Lily as a sign of their love. It was a small cottage like house with a bigger portion surrounded by trees and flowers, each of them planted by themselves.

They were in the backyard having breakfast in between those lush green trees and atmosphere full of fragrance of different types of flowers.

" Dad....

"What dad?

"Why didn't you bring my precious great grandson with you, huh!

" No one will believe he is your great grandson Robert. So just shut up and don't nag like a baby, hearing the roaring voice of his wife Robert started sulking.

"Azriel don't listen to that old man,Lily handed the cup of tea in Ariel's hand .

Taking a sip from the cup, as the fresh aroma hit his nose he could sense the smell of fresh blood in the mixture. Its been a lot of time since he has tasted it afresh.

" Sorry dad, I will bring him next time you know he is becoming naughtier day by day. Sometimes Lady Sun herself comes to me complaining about how her adorable little grandson being a brat sometimes."

Seeing a dad proudly talking about his son, realising how he had made his life full of love and liveliness he couldn't stop himself saying, "And how is my son doing Ariel? "

The memories of Ariel being mourning and on a rampant for killing each and every person coming in his way creating a total destruction were one of the darkest days in Robert's life, so it was important for him to know that he is at the least happy in his life again like a normal being.

The Moonlit smile spread over his face started diminishing, his eyes falter for a second forming the visible lines of pain and hurt on his earlier smiling face. The wistfulness and yearning of every second couldn't be unnoticed by the old couple.

Everytime on this day Ariel would spend his morning with his parents reminiscing the old times, the times he had spend with him.

"I don't know.... But one thing is clear dad I have been waiting for him till now and I'll wait for him as long as it takes.

When Robert and lily saw the determination and valor in his eyes. They both had a concerned look on there faces because all they wanted for Azriel was that he could find his peace, his happiness again. They wanted him to believe in love again... So when they heard that he is still believing on something that is not possible, Robert fired up to his son.

"Don't talk nonsense, Azriel. how many times we have been going through this, try to move on .....You and I both know he is dead...

" Not yet not until this feeling within me evaporate. I can still feel him, dad".

" He died that night in the explosion,Goddammit!!!

Robert bang the wooden table with a loud thump making lily, who was sitting beside flinch in reflex. he was angry that he was still stuck in the past.

" Honey, please calm down, she started caressing him, "Azriel we do .. . believe me we too want like a miracle to happen that one day he will be walking to us to you healthy and safe but we can't be delusional Azriel. "

"We have to accept the fact that he is dead, she started sobbing in between.

" Mom, Dad I don't care what the reality is but when I say he is alive then he has to be alive ...

Giving the last glance on the couple ahead he stood up and leave.
