BLAMELESS SORROWS

35. Tilbe and Vann

Vann's Point of View.

She went away while I suddenly feel relieved, the force that has bined me up seems to be freeing me up and in a second I can feel all calm again.

The dizziness and sleepiness going away all at once while Tilbe quickly rush to me and kneel where Iam, seeing how Iam.

Tilbe: Are you okay Vann?

The calm and collected image she posses a few minute back is all gone now. I can see her panicking and her hand keep on shaking as she tried to help me stand up.

Vann: Iam fine, don't worry about it.

And I stand up and make her look at me as through as she want to, to pacify her fear.

Tilbe: Ahh thank god!

And with a sigh she just plop down by the grass which grow around her like a small flower bed making me look at them in amazement.

No matter how many times I saw all this, it never fail to amaze me.

I sat down with her in the soft flower bed or more like the grass bed and chuckle look at her sleeping there so beautifully and all relieved.

I close my eye and sigh in the fresh morning air enjoying the mild breeze.

Vann: But are you sure it's okay for you to let her go like that? Will she really come back like you ask?

She open up her charcoal black eye and look up at me.

Tilbe: Whether she come back or not, that Iam not sure of. But if I don't let her go, she might hurt you.

I sigh, disappointed in myself. Iam here to help her and now Iam causing her trouble.

Tilbe: She can sense what my power is and what yours is, I don't know how she does it though. But she do and because she can feel that your ability is not to hurt, that why she attack you.

I look at her in wonder, how does she know this again.

Vann: But yours is not something that can hurt other either.

Tilbe: It is not, but if I really want to hurt someone then I can find ways, but with yours even if you are so so willing you can't attack with it.

I nod my head, agreeing with her. My ability is to heal and my energy is peaceful and calm, so I can't attack anyone with it.

The worse case scenario is I may end up healing the person I attack of whatever he or she is suffering from, if I do attack that is.

Vann: So that means, we can attack back her magic however she is doing it right?

She nod with a smile.

Tilbe: Umm and by the fact that I was much more convenient to attack but she dont means, either she can't hurt me or she is scared to.

I nod again. Well at least one way this is a good thing. She will be in less danger.

Vann: Then the next time we meet, Iam guessing I will be staying out of this case.

She looked at me and look back at the scenery.

Tilbe: You don't like working in such an environment anyway. And besides ,you should not be put in any danger. If we lose you, what will happen to Iklu, you are too precious.

I chuckled at her words, and beside she have it wrong. It's not that I don't like working in such a situation, it's just that I hate the fact that she work in such situation which constantly put her in danger.

Vann: So what are we going to do now.

She just shrug when I said that, which means she dont have a clue.

I was about to say something but before I can she get up and come up to where Iam sitting and lay her head on my laps making herself comfortable while I pat her head like I always do, chuckling at her antics.

Tilbe: The sun is coming out.

I look up at the sky and truly enough the sun is rising beautifully from between the mountains, as if it has been hiding there for the whole night.

Tilbe: It is so pretty.

I nod in agreement with her. The beautiful orange shade sparkling beautifully blending with the lasting blue. It's as if the always changing colour is blending with the permanent background creating a beautiful painting.

Vann: I know right?

Tilbe: I miss when we were both young.

I chuckled when she said that and look down at her with all the adoration I have for her, while smiling at her.

Vann: What? I thought Iam growing everyday and learning each day on how to make us be happier, so how come you miss the younger me?

She smile when I said that looking up at me and then look back at the rising sun again.

Tilbe: When we were young, we will always hang around here. Playing and skiping through all the flower that I have grown.

She smile happily, her eyes filled with nostalgia.

Tilbe: We will be shouting each other name joyfully and run here and there. The beautiful cosmos scent blowing everywhere while our sound echo through each petal. I miss that, we are all so busy now, we haven't even come to this place in years.

And she sigh while I also agree to her at some point. We have become so busy with all the things happening in our world that we can't even empathise with our childlike yearnings.

Vann: Then from now on we will make sure to make time to come here from time to time, maybe on a picnic?

She nod her head happily and enthusiastically while I laugh at her enthusiasm.

Tilbe: You know Vann, whenever I see a cosmos I always think of our happy childhood. It always take me back to memories of how we were before.

And she smile sweetly while I do too.

Vann: I know right, there is a cosmos at every background of our story.

As I remember us running around our house, I can see the purple cosmos blooming beautifully by the small fences of my home.

I remember us making flower crowns with it while I always remember us playing in this very field.

Actually this place was designed by both me and Tilbe. Tilbe and me both really really love cosmos so when we were young we thought it will be nice, if someone reach Iklu and firstly see the most beautiful and calmful scene, we thought it will make everyone happy.

So with that, we make it our goal to make a garden like or more like forest like place filled completely with the flower.

Both me and Tilbe's power were a lot weaker that time, so it took us more than three years to finish this. Which explain why a lot of our childhood is spent in this place.

We mowed through all the unnecessary things and make the place as pleasant as possible for our little garden which is now called the cosmos gate.

Tilbe: Don't forget about the picnic, I will make you regret it if you do.

I chuckled at her cute glare while nodding my head.

Vann: Dont worry about it. I'll make sure never to forget about it.

She nod in satisfaction and went back to checking out the sun while I check out her body.

I touch her neck, checking for her vitals and making sure she is completely okay now.

She seems fine and her energy is also all coming back, so I sigh in relief making sure to heal her used energy as well. She can stay awake this late without sleeping much last night because I treat her yesterday. My treatment can energies your energy drastically.

Tilbe: Oh My God!

She sit up completely frightened while shouting out in complete fright.

While I look at her in concerned, startled as well.

Vann: What? What? Is something wrong?

She look at me with her shining black eye completely widened and her mouth opened cutely.

Tilbe: Can you believe it, you met Ax for the first time and I had this golden opportunity and I miss it.

I look at her a bit confused.

Vann: And you miss what?

Tilbe: To introduce you as my boyfriend.

She say it as if Iam the weird one for not getting her while I just nod along.

Tilbe: Why didn't you tell me?

I stare at her dryly while she pout in dissatisfaction.

Tilbe: I should have done it, shouldn't I?

I stare at her confused and sad face for a while and chuckled out while pinching her soft cheeks lightly.

Vann: I don't mind, and besides I know he have his reason for not meeting people. So Iam more than fine, with you not introducing us or us not meeting.

She smile a little but the little pout still there, showing her unhappiness

Tilbe: Sorry for not saying anything about Ax to you and also not saying anything even now.

I smile at her guilt filled eyes; this is why I know she will never think of ever hurting me, and make me completely trust her. Cause her eyes says everything.

Vann: It's okay, I don't mind.

Tilbe: I said it myself that I won't keep any secret and now look.

She more of like mumble to herself but I heard it anyway and I knew this will be in her mind for a while again so I step in.

Vann: I believe that Ax story is something I can know and want to know because he is so precious to you but besides that, I can't and won't intervene. It's his story to tell. So if he is comfortable in sharing then only I will be comfortable in listening. So let's leave it to him, shall we?

She innocently look up at me, her eyes filled with respect for the simplest things I said to comfort her.

Tilbe: Thank you.

I kiss her softly on her forehead while she giggle softly at how it feels, she always do.

Vann: But now that Iam thinking about it, I haven't said anything about us to Ri either.

She looked up at me shocked at first, and then glare playfully at me.

Tilbe: Why? Is this something like you are ashamed to call me your girlfriend plot?

I shake my head in denial while she glare at me.

Vann: I just thought if Ri agree, later I will have no excuse to get rid of you.

I tried so hard to maintained my poker face, while she fumed in red. She stand up quickly making me do the same while I ran away first, her following behind me.

Tilbe: Take it back!!

I shake my head shouting a no and ran away while she ran behind me. Yelling one thing after another making me laugh away.

Thus in the beautiful cosmos garden with the sun in its most beautiful shine, the red fiery hair fly around with the beautifully scented breeze running after our priceless laughter.
