I wished for you (S1 Ep.14-7)
Seth: Thank you for your concern, but I believe it's better if I go.
Rose: Oh… – I wanted to ask him to stay a little longer, but I couldn't. - All right! - My cheeks blushed, my eyes saddened. - Thanks for the scarf.
Seth: Please don't get me wrong ... – He grabbed me by the forearm when I turned my back. - I... I am a teacher at your school! The idea that transpires may not be the right one.
Rose: If you were a teacher at the neighbouring school would then be fine for us to be friends?!
Seth: You saw how your brother looked at me, now imagine your mother!
Rose: You're probably right.
Seth: Don't leave upset, please!
Rose: Once again thanks for the scarf and ... Have a good Christmas. – I turned and started walking away.
Seth: Rose! I'll stay if you want ... - the sweet sound of his words, the kindness he pronounced them ... hearing him calling my name was an explosion of feelings, my heart wanted to get out of the chest. I wanted him to stay and I really wanted to say it, but ... So many feelings at once, joy, angry ...
Rose: I believe you have a lot of work to do, papers to grade, that sort of thing.
Seth: Please. – He extended his hand. I could not resist him. – Le’s talk for a few moments. – Helping me on the steps of the kiosk in the garden continued. - I'd love to know some more of you!
We sat on one of the seats of the kiosk. The icy winter breeze no longer made itself feel. His done, maybe!?
With a posture so imposing how could bring out such fragility thru his look?!
Rose: How did you know which was my bedroom window?
Seth: Well…
Rose: It's not the first time you come here, is it?
Seth: Forgive me! See you calms me ... - His words hurt me a little, it wasn't me who he saw, but his Princess.
Rose: I feel your presence at night. I created this idea that you'd be my guardian angel. Huh ... – He released a mysterious smile, wanting to say something that contained for himself. - Joan tells me that you ... You can't die?
Seth: I'm afraid my fate in this life is drawn.
Rose: Stay alone?!
Seth: I'm not alone. This world is so full of life…
Rose: Ah… - I looked down, embarrassed.
Seth: Each corner has recorded memories. Stories to be told. Over the years new lands were being discovered, new traditions made. Art, music ... And the memory of those who loved helps fill the void.
Rose: Oh! – Despite the smile on his lips to prefer those words, I felt his pain. I needed to know more, want to understand. - How can you live like this? Knowing that everyone will leave and you will stay here?!
Seth: It's my fate…
Rose: And you simply accepted it, without a fight? You don't want to live a human life? - "Why did I feel that he's containing in his words?!"
Seth: I took an oath and under it I accept my fate, trying to give it my best shot, not letting our purpose die. Doing what I would do in your presence.
Rose: Joan said that "when the Sun and moon line up as in my incarnation, my reincarnation will occur". Or something very similar… I assume that her destination is the same?!
Seth: Yes, it's true!
Rose: I am sorry. - My eyes filled with tears, I didn't want to cry in his presence, but ... - I can't imagine someone you love so trapped. If another life depended on my sacrifice, I would do it, not put it upon you...
Seth: Rose, - put his hand on my chin, lifting it up - I had a Millennium to make peace with who I am and I did. Don't feel sorry for me, please! I won't bear it! - Looked at me with a sweet smile.
The delicacy in his words, the care with which he chose them ... And he never once called me by another name it was not mine. The more we talked, the more I wanted to meet him. This intensity that consumed me, this fascination that challenged me wanting more ... I knew it, I had wished for someone like him. The compassion in his words, his honesty, the trust he deposited in me to every confession.
