Part 23




Piccolo felt the cold wind caress his face. Only now did he notice that tears were running down his face and leaving wet marks. Damn it. He didn't want to cry. Not again. It couldn't be that he couldn't put up with such a ridiculous little thing. Actually he thought he was a bit tougher.But like last time, there was nothing he could do about the salty liquid that kept flowing out of his eyes.


His thoughts were stuck on Bra's reaction the whole time and again this oppressive feeling came up in the stomach.


In the meantime he was above a barren plain from which scattered boulders emerged. Exhausted, he sat down there. With a bleak look he stared in one direction, but he didn't realize what he was looking at. He really had an unbeatable talent for doing everything wrong. He had to be completely crazy. He'd just kissed her, kissed her right. How could he forget himself like that? The poor girl, he must have hurt her very much. He could never meet her again, let alone do something with her. But it was probably better that way anyway. He had now seen that it would not go well. I couldn't imagine what else he might have done to her if she hadn't run away.He swallowed. The thought of her pushing him back hurt anyway. It hurt so damn it. Again he felt this pain. That stinging in the chest, as if the heart were being pierced with hot nails. The grief had spread inside him and was pressing all over his body as if it were filled with lead.


But it couldn't go on like this, he was now aware of that. He had to finally banish the thought of watching her again from his head if he wanted to prevent something like that from happening again. But why had she shown him so clearly that she ....... had he misunderstood all the signs. She had pulled him down to her too, but had closed her eyes before he ..... Again a tear ran down his face, but this time he wiped it away with the back of his hand. There was no point in worrying about it any more. Her reaction had been clear and her dislike of him was clear.It was better to shatter any hope right away, they would only torment him more.


Piccolo was so absorbed in his pain that he winced when a couple of hands came to rest on his shoulders. He jumped up with a jerk and turned around, since he had not noticed that someone had fed him.


"Piccolo me ..." "Bra!" Stunned and completely confused, he looked at her. He hadn't expected that she would suddenly come to him. "Piccolo I ... it" Again he felt his stomach tingling, but he defended himself vigorously and tried desperately to appear serious and dismissive when he growled: "Get out, I don't want to see you anymore. "Bra dropped his arms and stared at him in disbelief.


"Haven't you heard? You should get out of here!" "But ... Piccolo ... I ..... wanted to ..." "Get out, I said!" He glared at her angrily, but had trouble getting that To hide tremors in his voice.He didn't want to hurt himself. Not again, Bra's hands clenched and Piccolo saw her start to tremble slightly. He desperately tried to suppress the desire to go to her and take her in his arms. He had to get it over with now, had to stay tough, because he wouldn't be able to stand this situation for much longer. "Get out of here! Don't you notice that you are disturbing?" He was shocked by how cold his voice sounded, that he hadn't really wanted. Piccolo had actually planned to turn around and walk away, but he felt that his strength would no longer be enough.


"Why why"! Tears ran down Bra's face and a huge energy field had formed around her. “Why are you doing this to me!” She shouted in a tear-choked voice, which gave Piccolo another stab in the heart. The rocks around them began to shake and individual rocks flew through the air. Immediately afterwards all the rocks in their vicinity collapsed.A strong wind whirled loads of dust into the air, which was blowing in mighty eddies around Bra, who had turned into a super saijayin. "Why are you sending me away? I don't want to get away from you! I want to stay with you! BECAUSE I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" And without even looking at him, Bra turned away and flew away at breathtaking speed.


The last sentence pounded non-stop in Piccolo's head. "Because I love you so much" But his meaning didn't really get into his consciousness. It couldn't be. He must have misunderstood something. That would be just too good to be true. Had she really said that she loved him? Piccolo was still staring at the point on the horizon where Bra had just disappeared, unable to move. What was he standing around so stupidly? He had to go after her. Her aura had already reached the Capsule Corporation and finally Piccolo was once again captured by the stream of reality, and he flew after her as fast as he could ...
