"They are here!" Shouted Alfonso
He ran towards the leaves that were resting on a table and took a deep breath.
"Yeah, that's the sll, oh yeah" Said Alfonso.
Zeti and Artemis looked from the sides.
"Hey, Artemis"
"Yes?"
"Why is my lord acting like a pervert who just got his hands on a woman?"
"That's pretty rude you know?"
"You aren't denied it though"
"…" Artemis was speechless.
After so ti, Alfonso finally took the leaves back to his ho, of course, he, bitterly, left so behind for sell.
"Okay, now, let's go to Hygeia's office" Said Alfonso.
"Why?" Asked Artemis.
"She has the instrunts that I need" Said Alfonso.
They both returned to the manor and went straight towards Hygeia's room.
"My lord?"
"Hello, Hygeia, do you mind if I use your kettle?"
"No, I don't mind but why?"
"Watch and enjoy" Said Alfonso.
Alfonso put the kettle and boiled so water. After a couple of minutes, he put the leaves on a cup and poured the water on the leaves, a few seconds later, a fragrant aroma spread in the room.
"This sll… its nice and relaxing" Said Hygeia.
"I know right? This is sll I was yearning for" Said Alfonso.
"I rember this sll; I think soone serve this back in the Olympus" Said Artemis.
Alfonso took the cup and sat in a chair nearby the window.
He crossed his leg and took a deep sip of the tea.
When the tea entered his mouth, distant mories ca to his mind.
......…
"Ahh, nothing beats a tea in the morning" Said an old man with a white shirt and safari pants.
"Old man, you are so old and yet, you still ca to this god forsaken place in Greece, just because we made a new discover that will change the annals of history" Said a man in a suit.
"Who are you calling an old man? I, Alfonso Theodor, has never being too old for an adventure, beside…"
"No one is waiting for back at ho"
"…" The man looked at Alfonso and made a small sigh.
"Old friend, it's not too late to make a family you know?"
"…" Alfonso didn't say anything and just smiled.
Both of them took a taxi towards the Acropolis Museum in Athena.
"Robert"
"What is it?"
"How is Marvin doing these days?"
"…" Robert looked at Alfonso.
"What?"
"He died one year ago"
"What!?" Alfonso was surprised.
"He died in a protest in Pekin"
*Thump*
Alfonso punched the door with rage.
"THAT IDIOT!" Said Alfonso.
"He was shot, I happen to call him and his wife answered , she told everything, I took a flight to China that day"
"And why didn't you call !?" Said Alfonso.
"His wife insisted that I didn't, it seems that Marvin leave a small ssage for her, in case, that sothing happened to him, nobody shall inform you"
"…" Alfonso gripped his hands so hard that his nail encrusted in his hand.
"Old friend, Marvin was like this since the old days, he was so engrossed in his believes that he threw everything for them"
"To throw his live for just a stupid cause! He was always like this, he didn't though before he acted! He didn't though of the repercussions oh his acts! Goddamn it!"
Alfonso teared a little while his anger and sadness engulfed him.
Robert didn't say anything else and the rest of the journey only the sound of tears dropping could be heard.
......…
"Alfonso!"
"Ah" Alfonso suddenly woke up from his mories, when he noticed, Artemis and Hygeia were looking at him with concern.
"What is it?"
"My lord! Are you okay!?" Said Hygeia.
"Yeah, I am"
Hygeia turned to look at Artemis.
"Alfonso, why?"
"Why are you crying?" Said Artemis.
Alfonso was surprised, he touched his cheek and found that it was wet. Alfonso could only smile bitterly.
"No, it nothing" Said Alfonso while weeping his tears.
"It just that… the mories of yesterday" Said Alfonso while looking at the window.
"Are the sorrows of today"
......…
Alfonso was on his room, looking at the two moons, shining in the dark sky. At his side, a cup of warm tea was waiting for him.
"A penny for your thoughts?"
A voice interrupted his thoughts, he turned and saw an indescribable beautiful girl looking at him from the step door.
"Deter?"
"Yo, it seems that soone cried like a little girl so hours ago" Said Deter with a cheeky smile.
"Artemis…" Though Alfonso.
Deter walked towards the desk of Alfonso and saw on it, she grabbed the cup of tea and slled it.
"Nice sll, it seems that you finally got your hands in the tea that you much wanted" Said Deter.
"Yeah" Said Alfonso.
"However, it seems that these little leaves are sothing more than your way to enjoy afternoons, right?" Said Deter.
Alfonso smiled bitterly.
"As always, you are very sharp"
"Sotis is a curse, sotis is a gift" Said Deter.
Deter gave the cup of tea towards Alfonso, who looked at the brown surface without taking a sip.
"mories" Said Deter.
"At the very end, all we have are mories…. Wealth, love, knowledge nothing matters when the ti cos for us to leave this world, the only thing that we can hold dearly are mories" Said Deter.
Alfonso looked at her and then back to his cup of tea.
"The real question here is… would you live in your mories…"
"Or would treat them as what they are… mories" Asked Deter
Alfonso took a small breath and didn't say anything.
For so ti, the room was quiet, however, Deter was smiling, her thoughts were a mystery.
"It seems that you are not only saying that to " Said Alfonso with a smile.
"Oh? It seems that I am not the only one who is sharp" Said Deter with a cheeky smile.
"I can be… sotis"
Alfonso stood up and took out from his desk another cup and poured Deter so tea.
"It seems that we both are alike in more ways than what we though" Said Alfonso.
"Haha" Deter smiled and took the cup.
"In the worse way possible, however, yes, we are" Said Deter.
"A toss" Said Alfonso.
"For the wounds that won't close" Added Deter.
"And the sorrows that are to co" Said Alfonso.
Both took a deep sip of the cup of tea before leaving the cups on the desk. Deter approached Alfonso and hugged him from his neck. Alfonso was surprised however, he felt warm inside and turned to look at Deter.
"You are a cheater" Said Deter with a smile.
"Not really, I just follow my heart" Said Alfonso.
"Even if its split in two?" Asked Deter.
"It just happened"
"Cheating n should die"
"And cheating won?"
"Hmmm… I will think about it"
"Haha" Alfonso laughed.
"You laugh because you know it's impossible for to cheat" Said Deter with a pout.
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Idiot~"
Deter approached and her lips were just a tiny bit away from Alfonso's.
"Because I am crazy about you"
Deter smiled and kissed him, Alfonso closed his eyes and reciprocated the kiss.
"You taste like tea" Said Deter.
"You as well" Said Alonso with a smile.
Both of them laughed a bit more before looking at the sky.
For so ti, both forgot about their sorrows and just enjoyed the darkness of the night.
