MUSINGS
A Wufei&Sally love story
+++++++++++++++++++
 

 A flower blown by the wind offers itself to her as she catches it in her delicate fingers.  She smiles slightly, her dark blue eyes so beautiful.  There are moments that I let myself drown in those depths.  She lifts the flower in hand to her face, inhaling the sweet fragrance.

 White petals touch her nose… pure as white, perfect… as she is…

 The feelings I have for her are much too strong for my own mind to handle all at once.  It is not that I have never felt this strong for a woman like her.  Only now, the thought scares me even more.

 Chang Wufei.  A widower at the age of fourteen and has been mourning like that of an old man.  A scholar and as everyone would look as a man of great wisdom.  Heir to the Dragon Clan…

 I close my eyes as I felt the tiny pang in my chest as I once again remember my painful past.  Yes, I was the husband of Ron Meiran, the heir to the Dragon Clan who claimed to be Nataku.  A very strong, intelligent woman my late wife was but we never usually got along back then.  And back then, her musings about justice were nothing to me and I considered her as a stubborn woman.  It was late when I realized the worth of her justice rants…  It was late when I realized that she was rather a strong-willed woman…  It was late when I realized my love for her…

 It was late to let her know I am worthy to be her husband.

 And so I fought and brought her the justice she had hoped for.  The justice the entire world and the colonies deserved.  I wanted her to know that her memory stays with me… a part of me.  I fought to the very end and I had wished that someday, I would be able to face her to bring her honor.

 I open my eyes and saw two dark blue disks staring at me, face close.  She kisses me softly and I am startled for a moment.  Sliding my arms around her waist and hers, my neck, I gradually submitted to the kiss, knowing no one would see us in this clearing.  I spent so long contemplating on asking her to come with me to this clearing to spend quiet time alone.  She makes me do things I would never dream of doing for anyone else but her.

 Perhaps fate is playing a repetitive trick on me.  For I have found another chance of true love in the eyes of this woman.  Another righteous, courageous woman who never failed to leave me in sheer wonder of how glorious she is.

 I wonder what kind of fate awaits me… what karma?  I was a soldier who mercilessly took the innocents' lives.  Brought death to deliver justice?  Brought chaos in order to attain peace?  In return, what would be taken away from me to atone for the sins I have committed?  To my people, to my late wife, to my friends, to myself…

 As I embrace the woman in my arms, I clutch at her for dear life… for another future with a less dark road after the war finally ended.  My last hope… then perhaps the Fates would play a trick on me and let me pay harshly for what I have done in the past.  Snipping the very outcome of my life, my death… taking her away from my grasp…

 Hanging my head, I repressed the urge to grit my teeth as she might notice.  The woman had known me very well even as she watched from a distance the first time we met.  Hn.  Even after several years after the war, I never knew that there would come a day that I would calmly surrender to a woman.  And yet here is the boy who once sought justice had grown into a man of a vision who is now within the comforting arms of a loving woman.

 Hn.  How ironic.  The man who mocked every woman who crossed his path had met the day that he finally succumbed to the overpowering charms of a woman.  Sally Po…

 The wind blows gently around us.  She smiles beneath my lips.  That soft smile would uncannily tug at the sides of my own lips.  What spell does she have over me?  What magic?  If there were any, why am I aware of it and yet surrender myself?

 As I tug at the hand to lead her away from the clearing, my fingers brushes at the band around her finger… it beholds my answer.

 She gives my hand a light squeeze and I do the same thing to hers.  She understands my thoughts… the thoughts that seldom fall from my mouth.  I pull her close and as she does understand that I still have difficulty in doing so when we are not alone anymore.  Still, I would do my part and voice out my soul to her… the soul I equally share with her.

 I am a man of my word.

 Mentally promising my pledge, barely audible to the wind, I whisper, "I love you, Sally."

 Leaning her head on my shoulder, we walk away from the field of flowers.  A breeze passes by and petals from the ground fly away with the wind.  Twirling, twisting, dancing in the breeze.
