Chapter 219 Bonus : Memory of the Past 5
However, it was not the result of physically exerting and exhausting herself from last night's battle. There was not even a speck of fatigue on her blissfully sleeping face. Whatever fatigue there had been, it was all swept away and only the vibrant glow of a blossomed flower was left behind.
As he watched her sleeping contentedly with eyes filled with affection, he couldn't help but move away the few strands of hair overlapping her face behind her ears and give her a soft peck on the forehead.
He stayed silent for a moment before silently mumbling as if trying to remind himself of something.
''Before you, I always considered alternative lovers. I was faithful. Yet there was always a plan B. Now, even without you, neither in promise nor bodily presence, there is only my love for you. Should you evaporate as water into the sky, that will remain true for all of my days. And so now, for the first time in my life, there are no plans at all... because you must be free. Love must be free. So all plans stop. It is as if my soul has stopped the search it has been on for a time that feels like forever, as if it no longer sees nor seeks a path, yet sits on soft grass upon a gentle hill. It was the simplest thing for you, with your eyes and voice, your touch and sexy confidence to take what no other ever could. It's not that I didn't want them to, I've wanted a love such as this forever, it's simply that they weren't able to as if my soul was in a different room and they didn't have a key. You had it though. You had it as if God put it in your pocket with a whisper and a four-leaf clover. In a way, when I met you I was stunned. My soul had been alone so long it was almost unsettling to suddenly have company. To find or seek another would be condemning myself to a lifetime in darkness, knowing full well what I hid from myself before. Even death will not separate us, my soul will fight thousands just to come back to you because you mean a lot and I can't leave without you after finding you. I love you now and forever.''
Orpheus soon left the room to go cook something for his wife.
Half an hour later.
''Good morning, Love!"
Orpheus brilliantly smiled when he entered the room with the trolley of their breakfast and found Emea walking out of the dressing room after taking a bath.
"Good morning!" She brightly smiled and came forward to hug him tightly in her arms, inhaling his scent and burying her face in his chest.
She curiously looked up at him and stared into his deep brown eyes that had turned to a different shade last night.
"My aura has changed." She informed him. "It is much purer than before, and it feels ethereal."
"Same." He nudged his nose with hers and then led her to the breakfast table in the room.
"You are not going to tell me why it happened?" She finally asked as they both sat down.
"Frankly, I am not sure why it happened." He said as he plated the meal for her.
"But you do have some ideas?" She curiously asked.
''Yes but let's eat and discuss later.'' Orpheus proposed and Emea beamed at him.
Breakfast was delicious because she was sharing it with her soulmate.
Gazing into his eyes Emea couldn't help but mutter these words.
''Show me those open and loving eyes, for they are the door to my soul. Touch me with those gentle hands and I am made anew, not as clay, but as if my body were reborn in its most perfect form. And so, in this love there is a deep gratitude, a sense that what is given is sacred and transient, passing in time into the eternal cycles of living.''
Orpheus loved these words, he repeated them several times and not wanting to be outdone he quickly came up with a response.
''Some call it bewitched; I call it love. For there is an emptiness in the freedom of being alone and liberty in being caught in that divine spell. And so when I see in your eyes the feelings of my heart, we become one... and if that isn't magic then I cannot say what is.''
It was Emea's turn to be put under a spell. She was embarrassed and cheekily declared.
''Smooth talker.''
''For you, I can be everything.,' Orpheus responded with a smile.
The atmosphere turned rosy and soon the sound of moans resounded through the room again. They were showcasing their love for each other.

Two hours later, in a certain garden.
A thick field of grass is framed by thriving flower bushes and shrubs. A greenhouse stands near the left edge of the garden, housing all sorts of species with more demanding requirements. The smaller flower bushes are clearly in need of a little care, but they're hanging in there; they're fighting an eternal competition for the best spots. The flower bushes and shrubs reach 2.1m/7ft high, but they tend to grow far bigger in the wild.
A path of marble stones loops around the garden, almost taking people by the hand to show them the best sights. Vines and roots keep each other in line but are all hungry for more land to expand to.
The greenhouse was the pride and joy of the creator of this garden. The smaller flower bushes certainly attract attention too, and the flower bushes and shrubs usually look amazing, but the eye will just be naturally drawn to the greenhouse.
Two women were sitting across from each other in this greenhouse house, it was none other than Emea and her good friend Nia.
''I'll be leaving, there is something I must quickly take care of.'' Nia declared much to Emea's disappointment. She couldn't tell her friend that the other two were coming into the world, she had to persuade them to let go of Emea so she to live her life fully with her loved one.
''Can't you stay a bit longer?"
''No!"
