Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal... perhaps In some part of life or another, Jane becomes a memory for others. but she tries to make sure she is the best for this side of man…When she sat back down on the sofa, leaning against the armrest, seeking safety between the two of them, her left leg trapped under her body while her right hung over the edge of the sofa, her feet barely touching the floor. Once she was comfortable, she looked up to find that Gary had changed his position. His elbows rested on his thighs and he seemed lost in thought. For a moment Jane contemplated looking for topics to talk about, only to brush the thought aside a few seconds later and instead close her eyes. In the past Silence was never awkward between them."I'm an idiot" Gary declared suddenly, causing Jane's eyes to open wide."Excuse me?—""I, myself. I mean, I left you, that time” he explained, staring at the invisible dot on his folded hands, though he sti
Lily can remember the past on one condition, these memories can empower her, not bring her down... Well, she misses her childhood when everything was so simple. When you fall, only your feet and knees hurt, not her heart...They enjoyed their breakfast peacefully while settling in the gazebo, again Riri finished the food on her plate first then she looked at the end of the dock in front of her which led her to the front of a beautiful artificial lake, a few steps not far from the gazebo where they ate. It was a warm early autumn morning, she could see the clear water before her, making her mind clear instantly when she is breathing in relief. She grumbled while making some ridiculous comments about them that made Lily choke a few times, reminding her and covering up how pathetic she really was on Saturday and Sunday mornings like this compared to how she felt today."Don't say that," Lily suggested.Riri just shook her head, a semi- familiar smile teasing on Lily's lips swallowing the
We might be best friend when all these happy and bitter memories have become nostalgic... Get out of the chaos, look for simplicity. From discord, seek harmony. In the midst of difficulties lies opportunity, at least she have someone's calm demeanor passed down to her even though She don't know that person so she is now more focused in dealing with problems…Riri show a crooked smile, trying not to show her surprised face"The whole reason I wanted to meet you" she says, mentally adding with amusement, or at least that's what she tries to tell herself, eliciting a poker face at the dull thoughts of her happy time in France with her mother and grandfather. "I- a few things, you know, after— after I did a gift design for you. I thought we might want to make one to wear at an end of year event." Riri tilted her head a bit not understanding with the words making Lily pursed her lips before continuing "you know- I asked permission from my mommy, to sew the dress, and mommy said okay, I can
Things that might make you learn, namely memories, heartbreak, and failure. Maybe I thought you were dead before but you should know Memories stay forever, they never die... that's why I can be grateful because God gave me memories of you before again, and for now maybe I'm also grateful for your presence again, even though I'm still not whole believe…Jane closed her bedroom door slowly with a heavy sigh when she make a reason wanted a drink to cool her mind, even though she really felt peace but there was one thing she would notice if she didn't move from there, warm hands, his embrace, her comfortable body leaning against him, that longing she feeling- taking a long time can be dangerous... so dangerous actually, so she makes excuses to want to get a glass of water but actually she needs something heavier than that, as she descended the stairs slowly she felt the Wind brushing against her body out of nowhere and also the sounds of laughter from the back door leading to the garden,
Happiness is the art of how to let go of the bitter memories that have become the past in my mind... because nothing can really get rid of past memories. We can only fill it with new memories of greater value, I agree with that... maybe making peace is the first placeThey sat down again at the dining table, in the same position but with a different banquet and a different time, but the two princess had not yet come down from preparing and cleaning up because of their wet bodies...Jane and Gary just sat quietly without a word, just enjoying the peace by occasionally sipping their drinks"I thought-" Gary begin leaned against the chair with arms crossed but couldn't finish his words when he looked at Jane who was surprised by what she saw then he also looked in the direction she was looked, and there he saw Lily and Riri giggling. Gary also opened his mouth stunned, the two girls were like twins with one glance that made them different only if you focused as much as possible.Lily and
Everything has its own time and place. And sometimes, hope will only become memories, without reality... because memories never change, even though he who is inside changes. No matter how beautiful, Jane now sees more of their future"—oh come on, if I remember you were the one whining hungry earlier by the lake" Lily immediately widened her eyes after listening what Riri said looking at ginger hair."oyyt, don't lie-" Then Riri flashed back"Hey, I should be the one talking like that" they finally looked at each other making Gary open his mouth and glanced at Jane before scolding them"Uh-huh girls, please don't argue in front of food" quickly Riri pouting her lips avoiding her eyes by folding her arms at the same time Lily also took the same attitude hearing Gary's words.When everyone had tension with each other, Jane smiled watching Riri and Lily's attitude, she sure wasn't ready to see her daughter grow into a mature woman so when her daughter acted like this she knew she only sh
Each of us is the past for someone else. Don't hesitate to look at the past, that's where you learn the meaning of life...After a not conversation again after lunch Lily invited Riri back to her room to prepare for tomorrow... because she couldn't wait any longer.She paced back and forth in her dressing room which was not seen by her friend on the other side of the room, Riri who felt full just lay down on the bed for a while. Lily wanted to see clearly, to be sure that the decision she was making was really necessary. She and Riri have not been on well as close friends lately. Since when right? but Lily also felt that she had considered Riri as her own family. Right even though there was always tension and it felt like a little war, and sometimes Lily felt she liked that too. Both she and Riri had their troops, and attacks - what exactly Lily was thinking she didn't know either...What she wanted to talk to her about was more on the personal side, but it had something to do with he
Every day is a candidate for the past in the future. The good or bad ending of the journey depends on your attitude. Bittersweet memories introduce you to ways to work hard and be more grateful... Lily doesn't take all of these bitter memories she thinks more of all of this to be grateful for still having a mommy she loves"—I mean, why didn't your mother want to tell you" Lily shrugged as she replied"That was a part of my life that I couldn't figure out until now. I mean, I'm proud and grateful to my mommy, she has taken care of me and educated me, as well as my 'old papa" she admits what she won't admit to many people. Buts he knew that she could show weakness in front of her without fear of being judged."I'm sorry and about your 'oldpapa?" she touched her hand gently as a sign of comfort, which made her feel a little better. It showed that she had no reason to regret opening up to her."It's okay, my 'oldpapa was my dear late grandfather and somehow I learned to live with this bu
Jane changed into her thin black lace pajamas with see-through and went about her nightly routine, replaying that night's events in her mind. After they returned to the table, Richard continued to explain, taking every opportunity to point out similarities and common interests between Herself until Jane could barely speak to one another; Richard had said all there was to them. while Jane is tempted to look at her past lover, but forces herself to be a good poker face, relaxing and sipping her wine. There would be time to think about Richard later.She was beginning to suspect Marisa had been talking more to Richard in her absence too, because by the time they all said goodbye it was clear he had the impression it was indeed a date, no joke. he. She pulled him aside and told him in a charming tone how wonderful it was to meet her, and would hope to see her again sometime, to talk business, or…. Jane groaned closing her eyes, for in her memories of being with Richard distracted by the i
Luckily, the orchestra chose that moment to finish the song and the couple in the ballroom stopped dancing, applauding their final performance.She took that as an excuse and checked the watch on his wrist watch “Oh, I didn't notice the time. It's very late," she said to him, "I have an early meeting tomorrow, with your team"Richard looked surprised and disappointed but just nodded at her. She knew it was a lousy excuse and probably one of the worst performances of her life, and they returned to their table again when they wanted to finish the bill."You understand that I invited you to dinner just to not piss me off, right?" he said.Jane laughed at him gently, "Yeah, that's pretty obvious.""So officially, I still owe you another dinner," he smiled, after he waved and silently asked the waiter for the bill, "But we can make it dinner in Chicago if you want," he said as casually as he could and waited for her to answer.Before she could say anything, the waitress returned with the b
He chuckled but pretended to look offended, “Of course! In fact, I am a great dancer. I'm the grandson of the British Ambassador, remember? I started taking ballroom dancing classes at the age of four, just in case Queen Elizabeth stopped by New York,” he said as she joined in on the laughs, irony isn't it? and she'd be dealing with politically strong, it was too complicated Jane thought"—Oh wait. I understand. It's a car thing, right? You don't think people who own automotive companies can dance," he continued the conversation, following another song.More like a robot linker and an airplane, Jane's mind thought with a smile.Out of the corner of her eye she saw a pregnant girl in her twenties dancing with a friend of Richard's who she knew was in his late fifties and her smile faded. She asked herself again, for the thousandth time, how a man could do such a stupid thing.Richard noticed the change in her mood and followed her gaze, “It's Hiko Yamato and his wife. You've probably s
-0-0—YESTERDAY“-uhm, and why do you like roses?” Jane tried to break Richard’s gaze too fixated on her“Well, it’s different with you I guess I should explain first—” Jane smirked as Richard teased her before he continued “Apparently my father is an American businessman who grew up in Europe and my mother is British,” he began after tasting the wine, “They have nothing in common, just the fact that they’re both fresh. Students from the same university in France. My father is a student engineer and my mother studied Literature. Dad loves numbers, and mom loves words. Dad is brown hair, and mom is blonde. Dad is friendly and talkative, mom is shy and introspective—” Jane laughed looking at him“and it’s very specific The other way around” Jane laughed making Richard smile happily“In every way imaginable,” he nodded, “They met at one of those student meet and greets once. “He said he was instantly smitten by her, while mom wasn’t impressed with him at all,” he laughed, “Instead of givi
“I thought you want to help me?” Gary said speaking up. “You said you need me for a mission to get all this started so what do we have to do?” She wasn’t surprised Gary was the first one to ask that question. He had the most experience working with the CIA after all.“It will actually be two missions,” Sia said turning back to the image. “This place belongs to you leader of one of the stronger factions but you hold on it is gonna through black mail and you are assisted in this by your father whom I believe you are familiar with.” An image of his father appeared on Gary mind.“Yes me is leading a Fashion businessman?” Gary said clearly shocked. “I mean I know he’s ruthless enough but I didn’t think anyone would follow him.” She could understand their disbelief but one Gary know the whole picture of his father done then he migh be understand. “He has control over the Command system ship through it’s Dark control systems,” Sia said bringing up the image. “He has allied with his brothe
She glanced at Gary and looked uncomfortable with what he was about to ask her and she did her best to look supportive when his eyes found hers. “I know you would prefer to take some time to deal with leaving your home world again but we don’t have time,” Gary finally said. “We have an important matter to discuss, if you’d tell them what you asked me to do.”She took a breath as She look at him again “Some time ago I asked myself to consider putting myself in contention for this Mission alone.” She could see the understanding look on Gary face. “I agreed to consider it and discuss it with the rest of the truth but when Chief mantion you it kind makes me challenge Doing my job”“This is why you not stepped down to this mission isn’t it?” Gary asked looking at Sia. “You’ve agreed to go along with this mission idea of you take me in to this?” Sia nodded and Gary glanced over at his other side. “You knew about me accidently?”“Only after Chief be seen supporting you behind” Sia said afte
The silent level in the cafe was deafening; so much for the belief that a meeting of the him was always conducted in a decorous fashion, hah. Sia exchanged glances with hm. Of the people present on CIA, she is must to meet him, and here she is. And the only two who weren’t currently expressing their opinions at the top of their lungsDespite the seriousness of the situation, Sia had to stifle a grin as Gary rolled his eyes and whispered, “Now I know why Captain has resisted being promoted for so long!”“I certainly would go insane if I had to deal with you on a regular basis,” Gary agreed. She looked around at the room; to her left. At her immediate left, before She was glad she couldn’t make out more than a few distinct phrases from that particular ‘conversation.’“Gives you a greater appreciation for how tough it is to be CIA agent,” Gary said. “It’s not just I’m who’s unhappy, though I think most of the others were all right until this brought up the plans for the colony.” He shift
“Although their motives appear to be pure,” Gary said with only a trace of irony disappointed in his voice, “but why my dad assets been included to them?!”Sia nods when sigh “That’s why we’ve decided that it would not be prudent to have you going back this job. I’m sending a second ship with you-the Odyssey.” Sia pause considering “but I do want to help you” Gary closed his eyes grunts in annoyed This was exactly what he didn’t want to know about his dad done or his assets... even the Dark Auction wasn’t any worse“Who will be in command of the selection of this mission?” Gary asked slowly“I am but you will be in charge of the overall mission if you join me,” Sia said immediately, answering his unspoken question. “Captain Effic La Farley will be in command to help in France. He’s an excellent officer. Although he’s never held a field command before, he’s headed up a variety of research teams, plus garnered immeasurable experience serving on senior staff for nearly fifteen years befo
“Do they have any other purpose other than making a living for their group?” he asked after awhile “After much effort and time I don’t think so but if the Federation cooperates in their business I’m not so sure” Sia said it made sense because people need dark political funds “There aren’t many easy worlds for illicit or unclaimed business that fit in, especially in that area,” Sia said leaning forward in her chair. Suddenly she had an insight. “Do you think there are the size of the hands of the higher ups in France?” she remembered how the Humans there offered arrivals a chance to settle down if they had sufficient funds. And this must be how the new ship got involved. The more she thought about it now, the more sense it made. Gary’s eyes met hers. “Ahh I think that’s how They claims her Retail is easy since Ms. Arnault’s father is from and settled in France.” Gary sat back, stunned. Many images and memories of his time in France – with Jane, for what they thought would
