MY FAVORITE SCENE from “Accendo” 3rd Novel in “The Light-Bearer Series” by Emily Guido
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“Above all, to love a soul and not have that love returned is the cruelest torture…”
quote by Emily Guido
Tabbruis said, “You look like an Angel.”
Charmeine shook her head and said weakly, “Tabbruis, I would like to be alone for a while.” Charmeine sighed as she sat down on the lawn couch.
Tabbruis wanted to grab her and kiss her. He trembled for her touch but he had to remember, the last time they were together, she was planning on leaving him.
With the attack a couple days away, Tabbruis had to convince her he was not the same man who went to get his wife at Smith Point Beach. He was not the same man who thought he was invincible. He learned all too well who really had true strength in their relationship, it was Charmeine all along. He knew now that only in Charmeine’s love of the family and the power of her faith in God made him strong.
“Yes, I will leave, but… I need to say a few things first Charmeine.” Troubled, shaking, and weak… Tabbruis came and pulled up a chair in front of her.
“What is it Tabbruis? You are shaking.” She was concerned and disturbed because Tabbruis looked like he was ready to pass out or break down.
Tabbruis took a big breath, looked at her in the eyes and said, “I am sorry Charmeine, for so many things it is hard to express them all… but I am going to try.” He looked exasperated and said, “I am sorry for not supporting you. I am sorry for not believing in you. I am sorry for not having faith in you. I am sorry Charmeine. If you let me show you, for the rest of my life until the end of time, I will never doubt you again.”
“Tabbruis, I can’t do this now,” she said shaking her head.
“Please let me finish?” Tabbruis looked at her in the eyes and declared, “Charmeine you are my life. You are my light. If you go back to Long Island…”
She got up, went to the stone wall of the terrace and said, “Tabbruis, it isn’t so easy putting Jack and Jill back together again. I really need to be alone.”
Tabbruis walked to her and said, “Look at me this time, Charmeine. I have to say my peace, and I will leave.”
She turned and faced him with her hands across her chest and sighed.
“Charmeine, if you go back to Long Island, I will accept it, but let me go and be near you? Let me live near you? I can buy any kind of house or apartment you wish for your own privacy. You do not need to see me, just let me be near you, for you are the center of my Earth. God knows I cannot live without being near you. You never have to lay your eyes on me. I just want to be close to you. That is what I ask. Nevertheless, please forgive me, Charmeine? Forgive me enough to let me just be proximate to you.? If you abandon me, I will not survive. Whatever you want, I will give it to you. Wherever you go, I will go with you.”
He unfolded her arms, unclenched her fists and drew them up in front of them, palm to palm.
Charmeine’s sparks were going up and down their bodies, enveloping them with light.
“Tabbruis, do you remember the first time this happened? You were trying to convince me not to leave and sacrifice myself to the Elder Council?”
“Yes, I remember,” he drew near her and said, “I know you cannot lie to me Charmeine. Do you have the strength to be without me either?”
She asked, “How long have you been working on that speech?”
“Well Charmeine, I have to admit, I have been rehearsing it ever since we left Smith Point Beach.”
She eyed him with a suspicion and said, “Well, you are not lying. I thought so.”
Then Tabbruis’ eyes became like pools of tears as he said, “I am so afraid of what you are going to say, my heart feels like it has been encased in ice and cannot beat.”
Charmeine broke free from his hands and their circle of light was gone. She faced the Black Sea holding onto the stone wall of the terrace and took a big long breath of fresh air.
Not looking at him, she said, “Tabbruis let me say that although I was heartbroken you did not have faith, trust and belief in me, I know you are truly sorry which has healed my heart.”
He started to reach for her, but she held up her hands willing him to keep his place.
Keeping her face to the sea, she said, “Reconciliation… seems like such a passé word but it’s really love… God knows I have so much love in my heart for you I cannot bear to be away from you also. I knew you came into my room and watched me while I slept after I came back from Long Island. I could feel your presence, and then I could sleep. One night, I was crying myself to sleep, and you came and held me until I fell asleep. God knows I love you. I see now we can’t be apart, because we are one.”
She turned to look at him, “Looking into your eyes, Tabbruis, I can see eternity. It was over before it begun, our destinies are one like it has been since God made me for you and you for me.”
Tabbruis embraced Charmeine.
He slowly bent to kiss her softly.
It warmed Charmeine to the bottom of her soul. She said, “Semper tua ero, Husband.”
Smiling Tabbruis said, “Semper tuus ero, Wife.” He shook his head and said with tears running down his cheeks, “Pure love, God’s love was right here before my eyes, and I was such a doubtful fool.” As they began to kiss deeply, he held her tightly in his big arms.
Tabbruis stopped and tentatively asked, “Will you? I mean… will you wear my ring again?”
“Yes, of course, Husband.”
Tabbruis got the ring out of his pocket and slipped it on her finger. He bent down and kissed it and her hand.
She asked, “Have you been carrying it around with you all this time?”
“I could not part with it or you,” he replied with a nod.
“I see you never stopped wearing your band this whole time,” she said.
“I could not bear to even think of taking it off, my love.”
Tabbruis and Charmeine hugged and both melted into each other letting the stress of the past ease away.
If you have your love…
Hold them…
Let them know how much you love them…
Never put off telling people, you love them, for there may never be a tomorrow.
