Chapter 1: The Love of Letting Go
“......”
After a long silence, José was the first to break the silence:
"You spoke up anyway, Karete. ”
They turned their heads almost at the same time, and then, staring at each other quietly.
Jose still has the same style of clothing as before, simple and elegant, full of flavor of literary and artistic youth. He smiled lightly, his smile was frank and pure, without the slightest reproach.
The girl in front of him will always be beyond his reach, and he will always feel so powerless when he chases him and waits, and now he wants to keep it, but he feels that he has no courage and qualifications to open his mouth.
Perhaps, it is a relief for oneself to be separated.
"Carret, the experience with you is truly unforgettable, and perhaps there is nothing more memorable for the rest of my life. However, this experience also made me feel so tired. You are so good and extraordinary, every time you take a step forward, I have to pay ten or even a hundred steps to chase, no matter how desperately I try, I will never be able to catch up with the gap between you and me. ”
Reminiscing about the good old days, José smiled a little contentedly but sadly, he looked at the distant sky and slowly poured out, his empty eyes lit up like spark.
"I'm sorry...... I never want to give you those pressures......" Carette took a heavy breath, the pain of her throat tearing.
"I know, and I know, you've been trying your best to bridge the gap between us, learning to be a normal human girl, and you've been exhausted as a result. ”
“......”
Carette couldn't speak again, and José's face was completely blurred in her tear-sealed vision.
"I love you Kareta, although I can't be sure of the truest thoughts in your heart until now, but for the sake of loving you, I don't care to exist like a shadow, I don't care to be a substitute for Hector, I just want to be with you......"
Jose's voice trembled as he spoke.
"Don't say it, I'm so uncomfortable—"
Carreta couldn't help herself, hugged Jose and sobbed:
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't ask me why! I just want you to live well—"
José cried like a child in her arms, and her grief exploded in the moments leading up to the separation.
Having cried, he hugged her tightly and imprinted the last kiss deep on Karete's lips.
Before you know it, the blue of the sky is completely obscured by thick dark clouds, and the thunder converges on the heads of the kissing lovers with a muffled sound from time to time, like the anger of some god.
"Your sacred body should not be desecrated by humans—"
A loud reminder was once again sent from the thought wave into Karete's brain, sending shivers down her body.
She pushed José away, quickly stood up and walked a few steps away from him, her frightened face washed away with tears. With her back to Jose, she resolutely said:
"I want you to be happy, even if you forget me forever..."
"Why? Every time you can come together with only one step, but you can't do it when you're close to it. Is this our fate, Karete?"
José grumbled, and walked up to her shoulders and turned her body back, looking at her quietly and sadly for a long time. Every strand of her blonde hair, every inch of her face, her eyebrows, her eyes...... He wants to remember her facial features and never forget them again in this life......
"Karete, precious. ”
José finally slipped something into her right hand, then pulled up her suitcase and walked away on her own.
Carette was stunned and didn't say a word, and let Jose's decadent figure gradually disappear from view, she suddenly thought of Kamiyo, who had also cried and hugged him at that time, and the figure when he left was as righteous as now—
"I will wait to see you again in the next life. No matter what time it is, no matter where I am born, Hector's soul will guide me to Greece again, waiting for you in some corner there. ”
It was Hector's voice, an agreement between him and her.
Is it fate? Yes, that's our fate.
Time and space have changed, and I have come to you with my promise. We have worked hard together, fought together, but we can't change the cruelty of fate!
Carreta looked down at what was on her right hand, it was Jose's digital music player, which he often hung on when he went to the gym and admired it while exercising.
Hanging up the headphones and turning on the switch, Carette hears a touching but sad male song.
This is an old Chinese song, and it is also the only song left in this player at this time.
If the paradise of two people is like a warm wall
Imprison your dreams
Is happiness like a bars?
Migratory birds lost their south
If you yearn for the sky
Longing for a pair of wings
Let go and let you fly
Your wings should not be accompanied by roses
Listen to the withering time
If romance becomes a bond
I would like to choose for you to go back to loneliness
If the lingering becomes a chain
Leave aside the promises
There is a kind of love called letting go
Give up for love for a long time
We'll be there if you give it your all
Let true love take me away
There is a kind of love called letting go
It ends forever for love
If you have all that I have gone, my departure
Let True Love Take Me Away Say Break Up
Lose you for your sake
Ruthless play hurts you
Leave you for you
Forever gone
There is a kind of love called letting go
Give up for love for a long time
We'll be there if you give it your all
Let true love take me away
There is a kind of love called letting go
It ends forever for love
If you have all that I have gone, my departure
Let True Love Take Me Away Say Break Up
......
Listening to it, Carette actually laughed out loud to the accompaniment of a sad melody, and the laughter was crazy and desolate.
"Zeus! that's what you want to see—I don't have anything now!I'm all gone—you're satisfied—you can spare all the innocents, right? I'm now—hahaha—ahaha—"
After a burst of laughter and screaming, she became silent and wept, and the weather of nature was disturbed by her unusually sad and angry emotions, and the downpour immediately poured down from the gloomy sky.
Karete's weak body fell in the pouring rain, and the sound of crying was completely covered by the invincible rain......
Jose once translated the Chinese song into Greek, which is a sad song of broken love, and the song is called "There is a kind of love called letting go......
——
As soon as the lights are on, the "Winter" speakeasy is already lit up with its signature neon lights, which flicker and dance like an active elf to attract people who are looking for fun.
Every corner of the bar is filled with raucous rock music, and the crowds of people dance under the flickering lights. The smell of wine, sweat and perfume mingled in the impetuous air.
A ghostly figure made its way through the dancing crowd to the bar and floated down to a high chair.
She was wearing a white gauze skirt with large wide long sleeves and shrunken cuffs, and she didn't seem to have escaped the sudden rainstorm, which was drenched by the rain and then dried naturally, and her whole body was embarrassed by the dampness.
The long blonde hair, which had been eye-catching, was shapeless at this time, and it was sticky on her back. Despite such an embarrassing image, she still can't hide her incomprehensible beauty.
She was silent from the moment she sat down at the bar, and her beautiful face showed intense sorrow.
"Do you want something to drink, beauty?"
The bartender at the bar asked her as she wiped the glass in her hand with a square towel.
Single young girls can easily attract the attention of the opposite sex when they go in and out of mixed entertainment venues. The bartender wasn't worried about whether she could afford it, because he knew that someone would soon rush to pay for the beautiful and lonely prey in front of him.
As expected, three men approached at the same time, and one of the tall men said to the bartender:
"All of her expenses today are on my bill. Oh, darling, what would you like to drink?"
He asked with a smile as he turned to look at her.
"Wine, the strongest wine. She replied faintly.
"Okay! Brew Uzzo! Hurry!
The man looked excited, waving ten fingers at the inside of the bar.
"Hey, brother, you've always been stingy with us!"
"That's it!"
"Hahaha, a bit gentlemanly, don't be jealous with the girl, okay?
By the time the three men were laughing along, the bartender had already picked up the metal bottle and was busy for a while.
The tall man took the opportunity to take another step closer to the girl, his eyes looked at every part of her body, and he asked her, "What is your name?"
"Karete......" she replied in a muffled voice, never expecting to look up at the "generous" man's countenance.
Indeed, this girl is Karet. After being separated from Jose, she was so grief-stricken that she walked in the rain, from morning to evening, from rain to rain. No food or drink all day, aimless.
She couldn't remember exactly where she had been, but she kept walking, moving like a ghost through the crowd, as if she were looking for it, as if she were hiding.
Finally she felt extremely tired, and in a trance she was seduced by a jumping neon light, so she entered the bar alone.
The man next to her obviously didn't hear her name clearly, but it didn't matter, anyway, the people who came here were just for fun, so just care about their own pleasure.
"My name is Yaga, and people who have met me say that I am twins with movie star Nicolas Cage. ”
When the man introduced himself, he immediately drew a scorn from the two accomplices.
At this point, the bartender put the mixed uzo in front of Carette.
It was a milky white liquid that was placed in a triangular cone-shaped bantam wine glass, glowing in the light of the decorative chandelier on the bar.
"It's yours. Drink it, and you're guaranteed to forget all your sorrows and fly to heaven at once. ”
The man saw that Kareta was a little glazed on the cup, so he pushed it into her hand.
"Thank you!"
Kareta picked up her cup as she spoke, tilting her head and swallowing it all.
The flavor of this blended spirit is sweet and then bitter, similar to that of creamy almonds. When the liquor passes through the throat, it is spicy and burns immediately when it hits the stomach.
Kareta felt like she was swallowing a fire in her stomach, the scorching heat that kept her mouth open and she couldn't scream, followed by a dizzy start.
"Oh, look! she's gone!"
"Dude, it's time to do it......"
"She's so nice!"
There was the whispering of men. In the blurred vision, the tall man beside him smiled evilly, and he simply stretched out his arm to her, embracing the curve that he had coveted for a long time.
