At sundown, everyone excitingly attended Baldur's wedding in front of the spring and its calming water flow served as the rite's background. The couple finally have their vow of commitment and Edward was teary eyed as well as Baldur's siblings. Later then, Magee and George looked at each other, smiling as they witnessed the " I do's" and Albrecht was finally happy for his brother who had been a prisoner in his first marriage where at last! he's got the freedom despite war. It was such a great relief to the family, knowing how Baldur went through. The marriage with Mayumi could exactly redefine his meaningless life with Amanda.
" Congratulations Baldur and Mayumi!" Henry and teammates greeted with glee.
"Haha! thanks all. Here's just a plain wedding and I did not prepare anything." He smirked.
"You're wrong, buddy. The big boss had prepared some bottles of wine for us, its already there in our kubos just before the wedding." Henry said while patted Baldur's shoulder then winked to Mayumi as they left.
Meanwhile, when the people started to exit, Baldur then pulled Mayumi's hand and brought her to the Buccaneer's cave, there was silence and Mayumi was intricately looking at the rocky walls and several bags and sacks inside. After a while, Baldur took some things from one of the bags then gave it to Mayumi. However, while Mayumi was busy checking its contents, he opened the rocky door facing the sea.
" Wow!" Mayumi then closed her eyes and felt the windy ambiance. Interestingly, Baldur slowly moved closer and he gently clasped her tiny hands, wearing exactly his inexplicable thoughts. Alas! Baldur was madly in love for the first time with his breathless moments.
Meanwhile, at the wooden house.
" Hmm, did they leave already?" Sr. Sibal asked.
" Yeah. they're at the cave facing the sea. Its soothing there and ideal for newly wed, I personally tidy it at noon time. Haha! I'm very happy Sibal. My son had his instant decision that way, but its just rational."
" Indeed. I was touched on how Albrecht hugged his brother after the wedding. It was intense and so heart wrenching. I can sleep tight tonight too, today's affair just reminded me with so may lessons. More so, I was touched on how the lonely guy turned out fulfilled, that spark he said, haha!, such a brave decision. Who would have ever thought that this marriage is going to happen today. But I was even more touched when he let the witnesses of his wedding signed on his official journal." Sr. Sibal smirked.
" Yeah, Baldur's your follower in writing. He loves to record the daily details within this war. By the way, me too, I've never expected that there's this wedding. But beforehand, during the rescue, I caught them with that spark, haha! was it love at first sight? Wow! everything happened within 36 hours. Hmm...so conclusively, I only have Albrecht for Madelleine, soon." The Captain said as he yawned satisfyingly.
" I'd like to drink some wine Edward. Hmm, our little chitchat last night impressed me. If I'll gonna make it, pretty sure I'd die smiling. They could start anew too, those brats, you know them."
" Ah, precisely. They'll gonna miss you too, so don't die early. Besides, you've got nothing to lose just as Amado had whistled the truth. She musn't look at you straight anymore, I'm sure. Her dead siblings have risen so she might bury herself alive, what do you think? can't imagine if she'll know all of these, the long countless years of pain, huh!" Edward recounted.
" But its past. I'm trying to move on and will untie our bond, good for them. Your bestfriend and my wife will thank me, I know. It would be good for them." Sr. Sibal sounded so dead serious.
" Whatever, as long as the three of you can reach in the middle safely. Go Sibal! your decision is just the safest." Edward yawned twice and smiled at him.
" Go, go! drink some wine and I'll gonna sleep."
Inside the granite secret rooms, Magee just woke up and was looking for her husband who was then drinking some wine at their bar counter. Funnily, he was terribly drunk, but still standing straight facing at her and spoke.
" I'm...I'm drunk. I have stolen your...wines, they're....tasty. Yes, Mag." He smirked and seated back.
" Oh dear, come on! you're too drunk, why you just peered me around, you're supposed to be there, enjoying with your teammates. Look at your self, you're celebrating your friend's wedding alone. I already told you to stay there for a while but you insist to go up here with me."
" Ah...my wife's ... pregnant. My baby...baby
Ellie...wants to stay home with...Dad. Can't ...go away, too long." Then he had his sweet embrace with his teary eyed wife.
" heavens...how come you knew this would be a girl. Ellie, nice name." Then she put his right arm around her shoulder and proceeded to their bedroom. When she laid him on bed, he fell asleep instantly while she was lying beside him too, smiling.
" You, handsome Dad. You better wake up early before me." Then she closed her eyes while putting his hands on her face, trying to feel his warmth beyond compare. But suddenly, there's series of blasts from a distance, but she ignore the noise of bombs sprouting from nowhere instead, she was smiling and reminiscing his sweet embrace.
" Lovely..." She whispered and gone into sleep.
In the morning. Baldur woke up first and wrapped to Mayumi a thicker blanket as he opened the rocky door facing the sea. It was very foggy as the morning breeze came in. He went back beside her and was lying down on her opposite side, looking at her face.
" Its been so long where I waited to experience such emotional spark. Now I got it. Thank you." He thought while touching her face, so gently, but she was deeply sleeping so he just smiled and put his arms around her.
" This feeling is beautiful.". He smilingly whispered to himself while waiting for the sun to rise and see her smile on him again.
