“Gein, I once heard a priest tell a story, legend has it that every drop of rain falling from the sky were tears shed by heaven because of sadness. Gein…the sky…why did it cry…”

“I think…probably…because it was very sad….”

A sad question, and a dreary answer.

Some people were destined to be unable to stay in your life, maybe he was able to stay by your side, but can’t stay in your heart; Maybe he can stay in your heart, but can’t stay by your side….

As if he had predicted something, Alpha rarely went out these days, just like a frightened bird guarding its hard-won happiness.

He often sighed in the late night, with some helplessness mixed in the air. Occasionally, he and Gein, who was increasingly silent, would gaze at each other for a long time, and in exchange were only deep frowns.

“Gein….If you are worried…Just go…I won’t blame you….”

Finally, on a night with a faint fragrance of flowers, he blurted out the words he had hidden for a long time. Even though he was unwilling, even though he can’t bear to part.

But if such a result brought him only pain, he would rather give up…

“Alpha…let’s…get married…”

After a long silence, Gein suddenly opened his mouth, leaving the person sitting in a wheelchair at a loss.

The handsome young man, in the silver moonlight, came quietly before him like a dazzling knight, and kneeling on one knee. He drew out a ring engraved with his name from his pocket.

He said affectionately and sincerely: “I have waited for this moment…waited for a long time…I want to give you a lifetime of happiness…and a lifetime….of love…would you…give me this chance…”

As if all the flowers in the world were blooming at this moment, like a rainbow after the rain, before Alpha’s eyes were dazzling.

He spoke out only three…discontinuous words…with his tightened throat…

“I…am…willing…”

With that, his left hand was gently lifted by Gein, and the ring on his slender ring finger shone like stars in the night sky.

Perhaps…this was the beginning of happiness…

Or perhaps…This was the end of happiness…

For the first time he accepted his kiss, his embrace, and in the still night, softly moaned……

It was just that such a beautiful memory, in the end, will only make the ending even sadder….

When the morning was filled with the fragrance of the sunshine, and when Alpha woke up tired and content from his dream…

What he saw was Gein’s calm and ordinary smile, and what he heard was a gentle whisper in his ear.

“Alpha….let’s…go to church…”

He nodded quietly. When the wheelchair was slowly pushed out of the door, the momentary breeze flew his heart into the distance and scattered it in every corner of the world.

Then, silently waiting for the time to pass without a trace and the fallen flowers withered disconsolately……

Time was always ruthless…

The old priest of that year had passed away. In the empty church, there was only an old nun and a watchman whose legs had been blown off by the gunfire.

The dusty piano, sleeping quietly in the sun, in a trance, woke up the warm afternoon buried in the bottom of his heart…

“Alpha…I once met you here…and now…I want to receive blessings with you here…”

Gein poured out his wishes, and at the bottom of his eyes were filled with endless softness.

He told him he was going to buy flowers and would be back soon…

He watched as his back departed, like bathing in the spring breeze…

“Do you love him…love…that man from Germany…”

An elderly voice suddenly interrupted Alpha’s thoughts.

He looked back in surprise and found that standing behind him was the old nun, with a pair of melancholy eyes full of vicissitudes, and the deep words permeated with sad helplessness…

“How can you love a German?!! Do you know who destroyed our home?!! Who killed our people, you can’t love him…your love will not be blessed by heaven….this love…is not allowed…”

Sometimes…when the mistakes of the past can’t be undone, starting over has become a kind of luxury…

His heart was pained like being cut by a knife because of this grief-stricken accusatorial questioning. His throat was choking with only waves of bitterness.

He doesn’t know what to answer, much less how to answer…

“Child…I’m begging you…my son joined the anti-fascist army…I’m not a nun..just an undercover agent who’s been collecting information around here…I know that the German received a letter from Normandy a few days ago that contained very important information…if we get it…our chance of winning will be within reach…child…I’m begging you…in this village…you’re the only one who can get that letter…”

Like a sudden clap of thunder, Alpha can’t help looking at the anxious and gaunt mother in front of him, the silent tears in an instant turned into an invisible sadness surged through his whole body…

“No…I…can’t…hurt him again…if the wound is too deep….it will never…heal again….”

He refused helplessly, his inner conflict was fragile and vulnerable in the struggle…

“How can you be so cruel?!! How can you be so cruel?!!! Look at what happened to that watchman from the explosion!! Think about how peaceful this village used to be!!! We are all fighting for the victory of the war, but for your own happiness, you are willing to sacrifice your fellow men…”

“Don’t say any more!! I beg you…don’t say anymore…”

Almost pleading, Alpha begged for salvation and forgiveness in a desperate tone.

The duty for the motherland and the betrayal of love were intertwined, eroding the fate that he was unable to change.

How should he choose…

How should he choose….

“Child…I know you are a kindhearted person…I also know that…you guys…are really love each other, but…sometimes…for the sake of the masses…we have to sacrifice ourselves…because…the victory and liberation of the motherland is all that matters…you can hate me…or call me heartless…but I beg you….no matter what…please…you must make sure you get that letter…I believe…you aren’t going to stand by and watch…right?…”

I believe…you weren’t going to stand by and watch…right?…

This question made Alpha feel so much bitterness, so much misery. He felt the gusts of coldness like strong wind whistled through his chest.

Sharp and acute pain seeped into every cell in his bloodstream and lingered….

“Alpha…I’m back…you…didn’t wait long, right?…”

The gentle call made his heart stop beating in an instant, and at the moment when he looked back, sorrow swept over him in an overwhelmed manner.

Drowned in the warmth of the sun, the fragrance of the flowers….and…the past that was beautiful yet painful to look back……

“Alpha….from now on…I’m going to bring you happiness…my love…forever…only yours….alone…”

This beautiful vow like thorns twined around his heart, making him so miserable that he can’t breathe. The tears of sadness can’t bear the heavy burden and cascade down, one by one turned into a silent sigh…

Adding another touch of broken sadness to the upcoming ending…

“Alpha…you…why are you…crying…”

“Gein…time…if it could stop…how nice…would it be…”

In the end, he couldn’t protect his smile…

In the end, he couldn’t protect his own…happiness…

From the moment that the needle of fate deviated from its course, all regrets were laid in the foreshadowing. No matter how much they resisted….the destined tragedy…couldn’t be changed…

When they left the church, when the soft breeze brushed their faces came again, and when the bright sky was cloudless once more……

Gein suddenly leaned over and said softly to the silent Alpha: “Don’t worry…I will not leave you…I swear…for the rest of my life…I will be by your side…until the last moment of my life…”

In the face of this persistent and deep love…he could only return with silence….and bitterness of guilt…

Gein…if time…could be stopped…how nice..would it be…

Late at night..the oppressive darkness spread quietly between heaven and earth…

The moonlight poured down like silvery water, quietly…running through every corner of the room…

And finally…stopped in front of a figure ladened with sorrow…

The lonely night covered Alpha’s eyes with confused dimness in front of the exquisite cabinet…

He stretched out his hands again and again…

And pulled back again and again…

He remembered too much of the ordinary and warmth of the past…tears streamed down his face…

“How can you be so cruel?!! How can you be so cruel?!!….just think about how peaceful this village used to be, we are all fighting for the victory of our homeland!! But for your own happiness, you are willing to sacrifice your fellow men…”

“Child….I’m begging you….no matter what…please you must get that letter…I believe…you will not…just stand by and watch…right?…”

Those feeble words drifted and struck repeatedly at his heart.

Confused thoughts…painful struggles…

In conflict…his choice…was still the future of his motherland…

It was just…when his weak hands took out the letter…flashed in his misty eyes…was a trace of hesitation that he shouldn’t have…

The tears of despair struck his fragile heart…

Happiness…seemed…to be….getting further and further…away from him……
