4th part




“Hello! Anyone home?” Two familiar faces appeared in the door of the Kame House. To the great surprise of Muten Roshi, they were Chichi and Son Gohan. He put his book aside, walked up to her happily, and made a welcoming gesture. "Well, what a surprise! Come in and sit down! It's been half an eternity since you were last here." "It's so quiet." Chichi looked around. In the otherwise very busy Kame house, all that could be heard was the ticking of the clock on the shelf and the sound of the sea penetrating in from outside. Son Gohan sadly lowered his gaze. The mood was the same as at home. It was just unbearable. Nowhere was there a glimmer of hope that everyone would be better soon. He didn't want anything more in the world for his friends - but especially for his mother, who lately has only been vegetating to herself. She didn't eat any more, slept restlessly, and looked worse day by day.But not only Gohan, but also Chichi was irritated. Somehow she was looking forward to the visit. This approach to joy had given her some energy back into her heart in the past few hours. But why was she happy? Was she hoping it would be at least a little different here? Now that she was sitting there she could have slapped herself. That little bit of energy that had previously entered her heart was gone again. All that remained was the unbearable pain. She had really stuck to her childlike belief that on the island, where the ideal world had always been for Son Goku, Krillin and herself, at least a small part of this ideal world had been preserved despite the enormous catastrophe. But now exactly the opposite had happened: the familiar and old surroundings reminded her of everything. She looked at the photo on the TV that showed the entire cliq0e as it existed shortly before their marriage: Krillin, Muten Roshi, Tenshinhan, Chaucu, the turtle, Yamcha, Bulma, Pool, Oolong, Son Goku and her.How old this picture was ... Chichi could still remember exactly the day the picture was taken ... Smells, smells, the voices of friends - she had all that taken into her heart, into her soul and she was always able to let this moment replay in her mind's eye. Then her heart began to beat faster, a comfortable feeling spread inside her and she thought that nothing in the world could have made her sad .... But everything had turned out differently. There was no longer an ideal world for her, a world in which her beloved husband was with her, hugging her, telling her how much he loved her. In the past few weeks, Chichi had felt a terrible feeling: guilt. Why couldn't she change Son Goku's mind? Why hadn't she come up with another solution and just stood in his way instead? Had she pissed him off? Had she made him feel as though she no longer felt anything for him?Had the hard, arduous everyday life dulled her? She didn't know. All she knew was that she had always wanted the best - for both Goku and Gohan. And she knew something else: She didn't want to lose him too ... Muten Roshi had been watching his two guests the whole time. He felt completely helpless. What should he or much more: what could he do? “Where's Krillin?” Son Ghan's voice finally broke the oppressive silence. "Oh the .." Kamesin smiled. "... he already trained hard today and ..." "HUMAN !!! Really ?? !! But ... that's great!" Chichi shuffles up from her thoughts and watched her back and forth in astonishment jumping son. "Mom! Did you hear that? That means that he's feeling better. And where is he now?" "He was tired and lay down. The heat is really troubling ..." The three turned their heads toward the bedroom. Krillin woke up and looked slightly sleepy."Hello you two. All right?" "Krillin man! Ha ha! Sorry, I must have woken you up ..." Gohan fell around his friend's neck. Krillin returned the hug and closed his eyes for a moment. “Never mind, little one.” The fresh energy that Gohan had brought with him was good for him. He was pleased that the little Saiyajin was feeling better again. According to him, he saw his father again on the day Trunks flew back to the future - and he even helped and talked to him during the fight against Cell. At first Krillin had been a little surprised, but then he understood. The two Saiyajin hearts beat in absolute harmony and they reached each other over even seemingly insurmountable distances. No force in the universe could separate the two. Krillin had thought a lot in the past few days. Among other things, he remembered his first meeting with Son Goku - how he had headed for the island with his boat, made an exuberant leap when he reached the sand (after all, he wanted to impress the master of the Cape arts) - and with his head in the sand got stuck.Who would have thought then that the strange little boy with the tail who pulled him out of the sand would one day be his best friend ... and that one day he would hold his son in his arms? ... Krillin broke away from his thoughts again. “What brought you here?” “Gohan has an idea ...” Chichi finally made it up to take part in the conversation. That's actually why she was here. "He is convinced that a change is good for us all ..." "and that's why I wanted to ask you if you want to come to Dende for a few days." Gohan beamed at Krillin and tried to convince him with his idea to infect. Krillin frowned and hesitated. But then he managed a small smile too. He was sure that Goku wouldn't want it if everyone just mourned behind him. In addition, everyone will see each other again for a day - and then it would be forever .. "All right, I'll come with you. You too, Chichi?"" No, I've been dragging a lot at home in the last few days. It is time for order and normality to return. Besides, I'll do something with Bulma .. "" Very well, as you think. "Krillin turned back to Son Gahan." When do you want to start? "Gohan grinned." Well now! "
