September 10, AC 197
The Khushrenada Estate
Ding, Dong! The doorbell rang, again. Treize wondered who it was. He hoped it wasn't Lydia, who would provoke him with silly questions, like she did last night at dinner. She had said she was going to settle down and get a job in the city, but Treize didn't believe her.
The door to the study opened. "May I present Chang Wufei," said Richard. Treize was really, I mean really, surprised that the "great" Chang Wufei had gotten the nerve to visit him.
"Well, Wufei, it's strange to see you," Treize finally said.
Wufei's head was bowed, avoiding eye contact with him.
"There must be reason for you coming here," said Treize.
Wufei quickly looked up then looked back down. "Actually, yes, there's a reason," he said slowly.
"Well, then sit down," said Treize.
Wufei sat down, head still hung.
"So," asked Treize, "why are you here?"
Wufei looked up, "I've come, come to beg for forgiveness."
Treize laughed. "Forgiveness?"
Wufei hung his head in shame. "Yes, forgiveness."
"For what?" asked Treize, even though he knew what.
"For almost killing you!" exclaimed Wufei. "I did such a horrible thing! I thought for sure you were dead! I lived which a terrible guilt. For the past two years I've watched Lady Une live in misery. Then Mariemeia came along, and I thought she'd live her whole life without ever knowing her father. I thank God that you're alive, because I could no longer hold the guilt. No one, however, not even Sally, knew about this guilt. I felt you should be the first I tell this to. Please, I beg of you, forgive me!"
Treize sighed, "Wufei, I forgive you."
"Thank you!" said Wufei. "Also, I would like to thank Lady Une for letting me and Duo out of that cell. I know that she shot for doing that."
Treize nodded. "I'll tell her you said so."
Wufei looked relieved. "Also, there's something else, I'd like to say."
"What?" asked Treize.
"I'd like to admit that I love Sally Po," said Wufei.
"What!" exclaimed Treize. "You actually admitted that?"
Wufei nodded.
"Oh my God! This the great Chang Wufei, isn't?"
"Well, I thought about it, and I said to myself 'Women will always be women, but Sally isn't one of those weak women'."
Treize stared at Wufei, speehless.
"Yes, I know, it isn't like me to beg for forgiveness, say thank you, and say I'm in love, all in one day, or even say it at all."
Treize continued to stare at Wufei.
"Anyway, you see I was married before, and it was an arranged marriage. We divorced after about two years. We used to fight a lot. She proved to be just as strong as me. Supposedly she died last year, but I don't know why. The problem is, that during the two years we were married, I fell in love with her, and she fell in love with me, but we fought too much to be happy. Every night there was an argument. So we divorced. But now I love Sally, and I just can't stop thinking about Merian," Wufei told Treize.
Treize sighed. "Merian? Was she your wife?"
Wufei nodded. Then he looked at the clock and said, "I've got to go, or Sally will kill me." Then he left.
A couple of minutes later, Lady Une and Mariemeia came home from shopping. Mariemeia was trying to walk and read the new book she just bought at the same time.
"We had a visitor," said Treize.
"Lydia?" asked Lady Une.
"Worse."
"Who? Wufei?"
"Yes, it was the great Chang Wufei," said Treize.
"What did he want?" asked Lady Une.
"Can you believe him? He begged for forgiveness, said thank you, and said he's in love, all in one day," said Treize.
"He what?" exclaimed Lady Une.
"First he begged for forgiveness. He actually said he was sorry for trying to kill me."
"He didn't!"
"He did! Then he said to tell you thank you for releasing him and Duo that one time," said Treize.
"Well it's about time!" mummered Lady Une.
"Then he admitted he loved Sally."
Lady Une laughed. "Really? Are you just making this up?"
"That's what Wufei told me!"
"But Wufei, of all people, admitted to you, that he loved Sally?" Lady Une couldn't believe it.
"And he was married once before," said Treize.
"Well, I believe Wufei's gone off the deep end."
When I wrote this fic, I didn’t like Wufei very much. I think he’s okay now, but if you think I just bashed Wufei or something, I really didn’t mean to, SO DON’T FLAME ME!!!
