CHAPTER 248: NEVER HAVE ANOTHER FAREWELL

- POV Richie

"Sorry, Richie Estarchus ... " The doctor said, squeezing my shoulder.

At that moment, my entire world collapsed and only darkness remained. "It just seems." Just started to consciously accept Lala and me as a family, and the next time this house was taken from me ...

I sank to the floor and cried like a girl, but I didn't care how I looked. "They took Lala from me, and hence the whole world." I couldn't breathe, tears were suffocating me, and then I did the only thing I could. I started praying for the first time in my life.

"God, give him back to me, please .... " I closed my eyes and asked the Almighty to give us one more chance, where we would be happy forever. "I can't live without him. Take my Risaa back .... "

I don't know how long I sat on the floor like that, it seemed like forever, but it was actually a minute. One fucking minute and a different signal in the deadly silence of the BIP ....

First one time .. two seconds and beep again .. two more beep .. "beep .... "

"Oh my God, he's alive!" Someone from the media staff is at odds. "The heart beats, Doctor, do you hear the beat? He's alive!"

I felt relieved and, unable to withstand the overwhelming emotions, I laughed.

My risaa! My childhood best friend, and my fiancee is still alive!

"Thank you" I said with my lips to God. "Thank you .... "

God heard my prayer which meant I would never make that stupid childhood mistake again and make Lala smile all my life. But first, the marriage registration office!

flashback Richie parting ways with Lala as a child

It turns out I won't be seeing Lala two years down the line. And how do I say about this on his birthday? Regardless of her age, she was still a little girl and definitely thought of something for herself. I think I'm starting to hate Uncle Jin.

After looking at the apartment courtyard and greeting some people, I went up to the third floor of the apartment to look for my girlfriend. I have known him for almost two years, probably since Lala's move to Moscow, I myself forgot.

As I expected, Lala was in her room.  He sat at the table behind me. I smiled, even on her birthday she sat alone in her room and waited for me to find her. But as soon as I thought about it, the smile started to slowly fade away;

Is this how we're going to live with it away from each other? After all, even in a thunderstorm or just in rainy weather, we were allowed to spend the night together.

In my chest again, it was as if something was being pinched, and in my soul it became extremely disgusting it was even impossible to explain.

Stepping past my emotions, I put on a happy and friendly smile and quietly walked into the room, stopping behind my friend. He carefully tilted his head and began to study what he was drawing. And being drawing people, it's just a drawing of circles and lines, where one circle is like long hair, and one circle is without a hairline.

“Risaa, what did you draw?” I asked as he looked at me and smiled.

“’This Eros and Risaa.” The girl closed the picture book and her crayon box. Rise up from his chair and throw himself at my neck as I crouch down, by the way, I might be sixty centimeters taller than him, so once he clings fully I carry him straight away.

“I miss you so much, Eros! Why didn't you come yesterday?” I knew from his voice that he was pouting.

“Risaa, you asked me to come in a tuxedo, so I went shopping with uncle.” 

And Risaa then replied by telling her how she tried many different dresses.

Oh my mother, I'm sixteen, I want to play war games, but what am I now? And I went around like a fool and tried different costumes to make Risaa like it.“Oh.”

The little Risaa patted my arm asking to go down, and as I crouched down he immediately bounced off me and I stood up as he started checking from head to toe with a smart look so I thought he was a professor. “You are so handsome! And Masha must not like to see me next to you.”

“Why not like?” I pointed at her shorts and dress. “I don't understand, Risaa why do you want to see me do this, dressed like a parade. While you?”

“Nah, Eros .. It's my birthday. This is my wish.” He hugged my waist, his head right on my stomach. I hugged back and inhaled the smell of the shampoo.

“Eros, Risaa wants to change clothes and I will be better than you.”

The girl frowned and, saying something similar to the fact that I regretted my words, she left the room. And I stood still.

Knowing Risaa was better than anyone, I threw myself into her bed carefully so as not to tangle, lay down, thinking how to tell Risaa that this was our last meeting.

I don't want to hurt him too much, I don't want to part with him for a long time. After all she was my best friend, and boyfriend, and if my friend knew this .. I'd be very embarrassed, because I was dating a pre-school kid, while my friends were even dating a college kid.

Lala came back quite quickly in a white dress with her hair clamped with green hairpins.

“Wow, well, you are just like a bride,” I said as I examined her with my gaze from top to bottom.

“What are you going to marry me?” And I threw winnie the pooh gently at her, who was sitting on the bed. “Eros! You ruined it! Get up and go to dad's!”

Well ... uh, but still I can't resist, today is the day, even though uncle has also scolded me, but! This girl is really fierce!

We're on the apartment's lawn. I saw his father Risaa and Uncle Jin, who were standing near the baberkyu and talking about something, sullenly looking at the flesh and occasionally staring at us. I looked at Uncle Jin's anxious gaze. Then I looked at Risaa, noticing that she was also frowning and looking at her father.

“Dad was sad,” Risaa then looked at me with netra blue sky, “does Eros know?”

I shrugged and grabbed his hand. “I want to give you a gift, Can?”

His eyes sparkled and he turned his attention, completely to me.

I laughed as I took him to the swing and there were not many people. After putting Risaa on the swing, I stood across and took out a gift from my pocket.

“Eros!” He shouted and clapped. “Is this what I want?”

I don't know what Risaa is thinking, but this is something Risaa definitely likes.

I smiled proudly and gave him a gift. Risaa, without wasting time directly tore the wrapper and saw a NEVALYASHKA doll.

*Nevalyashka: The little doll, even if the child tries to knock it down, will stand up straight again. The load is deliberately placed on the bottom of this toy, making it able to stand upright again even though it was dropped many times. Not a few children who feel upset because they never managed to drop it.*

Risaa screeched and stuck a hand-sized doll to her chest.

“Eros, why do you know when my Nevalyashka is gone? Thank you Eros …. “

I breathed a sigh of relief, because I myself chose the gift, and I was very nervous.

“Eros You have to name my Nevalyashka!”

I shrugged, stood beside the swing and started swinging it. “Erossa.”

“Erossa?” asked the little girl, looked up from Nevalyashka and looked straight into my eyes.

I look up at the sky. “Erosaa, Eros and Risaa.”

“Oh that's good. I'm sure he likes his name!” How happy is his voice, which makes my lips tremble. And I can't tell you about my departure to Risaa, that Uncle Jin will take me to Cambridge for a final secondary education at Cambridge pre-University.

Suddenly Risaa jumped from the swing and ran. When he returned about five minutes later, he carried the thorn of the plant in his hand.

“Why did you bring it?” I pointed between his index finger and thumb.

“I want to take an oath from Eros.”

“Well, if you want, let's swear. For what?”

“Vows Eros will find me. No matter how long.  Eros will never forget Risaa.”

I rolled my eyeballs, realizing that my friend was approaching. “Oke, and you?”

Risaa gave her little finger in front of the chest, “And me too.”

“Risaa. No. it won't work.” Maybe I won't see him again. I shook my head.  “Will you swear that you will always, always love me, Risaa? Agree?”

I stretched out my little finger to hook her at least I would have been more convinced of this. However, Risaa turned my palm and stabbed my finger, then her finger. He stuck his blood on my blood, so where did the six-year-old girl understand something like this?  and he then grabbed my hand, well our blood has united.

“Lala Clarisaa swore ... will love you forever .. never forget you. And Risaa waits, Eros marries Risaa.”

“I, Richie Estarchus, swear that I will always find you, no matter how long time passes, I will never forget you. And will marry you in the beautiful tower of Paris.”

We hooked the pinky and let it go, and we looked around the courtyard.

“Remember! You swear!” Little Risaa said in a whisper and once again took my hand, she dragged me to the other children.

--

And two years after that, I had finished - two years of my pre-college - and then went back to Moscow, risaa's apartment has been flattened to the ground and Uncle Jin gives Nevalyashka's doll which - a third of it - is burned and the whole of what was once red and white to charred black, this is Risaa's.

I went back to Cambridge and Uncle Jin said he didn't know where Risaa's father was. Then Uncle Jin gave me a way out, if I want to continue what Daddy has built then by itself I will be able to find Risaa.

Therefore, when I first entered college at Cambridge University, I began to build a headquarters in the middle of the forest, a vast land that Daddy had bought because he was in a relationship with officials who were crazy about money, and Uncle Jin started to introduce me to an organized group called the Northern Faction and its followers, and that's the legacy of my father, who I didn't know what his purpose was when he first came down straight away, what I know from there the dollar coffers make me able to collect cars that are only produced two units in the world.

And at that time Mr. Pram (a father's son) enrolled to serve and I made him a butler. From that moment on, I started telling Mr. Pram about my childhood friend and he started helping me to keep looking for Risaa.

Uncle Jin began to have a busy life with his own family and often traveled abroad.

So, I was required to live alone, making me lonely without any family, and even a friend only cared about my money.

Then I couldn't even imagine, that to me, the RISAA OATH was not just a childish joke, or a pleasure. That this oath means more to me than to him. Then I did not understand that, when I had forgotten him, I felt I had lost something precious and important that had ever been in my life.

- flashback finish-

I had no idea that the little girl I knew and who was my best friend would be the one to drive me crazy.

And that he is the one who was and is now the center of my universe.
