510 FOCUS ON ME
Zuri was not sure how long she was sleeping, but when she woke up, she was alone, under the big tree and Chaos was nowhere to be seen.
She remembered that Chaos took her into his realm, but she didn’t remember what happened next, because she was sleeping and the sky here was always like this, it was dusk with brilliance orange hue on the sky and no matter how long you were here, the sun had never crossed the horizon. The wind that blew brought flowery scent from the flower field not too far from her.
She was here once and she knew her way around.
“Chaos?” Zuri rubbed her sleepy eyes and then stood up. She breathed the air and caught his faint scent from her left, so there she went.
She didn’t wear her shoes, but the ground felt so comfortable against her foot. She looked around her to the beautiful garden with many white flowers surrounded her, flower that she had only seen in his realm.
This place gave you a mysterious feeling, but at the same time gave you a peaceful mind.
Datura.
Zuri remembered Chaos had told her about the flower before. It had small petals in every stalk, which looked like you were holding a long stick full with flower, as the stalk could be a meter long.
“Chaos?” Zuri approached him, he was collecting the flower in his arms and the white color of the flower made a stark difference from his dark hair, which looked like a night sky.
.....
“You are awake.” Chaos approached her and gave the flower to her, which she accepted it gladly. Unfortunately, the flower couldn’t be brought out of this realm. She would love to keep the petals with her.
“Why are we here?” The last time they were here was because Chaos was not in a good condition and he needed to rest. “Are you feeling unwell?”
“I am fine,” Chaos said lightly, as he leaned over to kiss her lips.
Zuri wanted to kiss him longer, but she couldn’t pull her closer because she was holding a bunch of flower and Chaos pulled away from her very quick. She tried to observe him, but there was nothing that she could get. His eyes were still dark, but there was no animosity from him, which mean, he still could control the darkness in him.
“You don’t need to worry about me.” Chaos put his arm around her waist as both of them walked around this garden.
The silence between them was so peaceful and no one was forced to talk about anything, since they were so comfortable to speak nothing.
This realm was so vast and the sky had never changed, which gave a melancholic and somber feeling, this was the memory that you would never forget. The silence and the peacefulness that you felt would forever etch in your mind.
“We will go to East Draghar, but I don’t want you to come.” Chaos broke the silence with his statement.
Hearing that, Zuri didn’t even flinch neither she frowned, she simply made her own statement too. “You know I will not go anywhere. I will come with you, you like it or not. I will be there too.”
Zuri tilted her head and then grinned at him playfully. “You don’t expect me to follow what you say without an argument, right?” After all, she followed him all the way to the new capital city, even without his permission.
“I know you will say that,” Chaos said in somber tone. He looked up the sky and then mumbled something. “Do you know why the sky never change?”
“No.” Zuri shook her head and stopped walking, as she stood next to him. “But, I want to know why.”
“Because time stops here. There is no past, there is no progress, there is nothing here.” For some odd reason, there was sadness in Chaos’s voice, which surprised Zuri.
“Don’t you think that’s way better than what we have to face? I will love to stay here and let the time stops. So, we will live in this moment.” Zuri stared at the horizon, her cheeks turned bright red because of the light.
“Yes, but there is no future as well in this place. There is nothing and you expect nothing here.” Lived in a moment was great thing, but when you found there was nothing you could look for, everything became ordinary, even this beautiful sky would look terrifying the more you look at it.
Zuri was not sure if she could understand fully about what was in Chaos’s mind, but she knew that staying here forever was not an option. They could indulge their moment now, but not for eternity.
“What will happen if everything is done? When you managed to collect all of your soul?” Zuri tilted her head and then looked at Chaos. She moved around and stood in front of him now. “What will happen to you? What will happen to us?”
Will they get their happily ever after?
Just like before, Chaos didn’t answer her, but this time, he kissed her longer and the feeling overwhelmed her, as she let go of the flower in her arms and wrapped her arms around his neck, she wanted to be close to him, so close, she wouldn’t feel the distance between them, so there would no more goodbye.
Chaos put his hand behind her back and hugged her tightly to deepen the kiss, as he laid her down on the velvety grass, under the dawn sky that would never change.
Zuri moaned when Chaos kissed her neck and caressed her breast lightly, as she stared at the horizon and realized their time together wouldn’t be that long.
Her question was still the same, what happened after all of this ended?
“Focus on me,” Chaos whispered to her ear, nibbled on her earlobe.
