"GOKU..." Chichi said with a smile as she looked at her husband.
Goku stared ahead of him in complete awe. Chichi was standing a few feet away from him and she looked very beautiful in her white dress. She looked like an angel smiling at him. He ran towards her and gathered her in his arms.
"Chichi... I miss you so much." He said as he hugged her tightly.
She returned his hug. "I miss you too, sweetheart. There never was a day that I didn't think about you while we're in Otherworld."
Goku released her from his hug and looked at her, tears brimming in his eyes. Chichi smiled at him once more and raised her hand to wipe his forming tears.
"Goku, you need to follow what your heart says." She then said, completely startling him.
"What do you mean? What are you talking about?" He asked, totally confused.
"Goku, all I want is for you to finally be happy with your life. That's why I told you before, if ever you find someone else who would make you smile everyday, then so be it. You have already beaten Cell and avenged us, that's more than enough for me. Now it's time for you to think of yourself. You have been grieving and crying over us for seven long years. Don't you think that it's time for you to smile now?" She asked him back as she stroked his cheek.
"Chichi... I.. I don't understand what you're talking about. How can I be happy without you and Gohan? You know I can't do that..."
"Of course you can, Goku. I know you all too well. And I am very much aware of what's been happening with you all these years, especially these past few months. Goku, you must follow what your heart says. She can make you happy. I know it. She is the one for you, sweetheart." Chichi said to him.
Goku looked at his wife as he tried to read between her lines. Then memories of a certain blue haired girl suddenly came flooding his mind.
"Ami..." He whispered as he remembered the girl who used to be his private nurse.
Chichi smiled. "Goku, I know she loves you very much, maybe more than I do. Please do not restrain yourself from her loving her back. I know you do have feelings for her as well, you are just repressing it because you didn't want to admit to yourself and accept that even after the tragedy that befell our family, you are still capable of loving and caring for someone. Goku, you are very far from being like that. So please, don't do this to yourself. I have seen everything that happened between the two of you and I know that she is willing to do everything for you, while you pretend that you don't see it because of your pride, and you keep convincing yourself that it's only me whom you should love. Goku, I am no longer with you and even if I wanted to, I can never be with you anymore, not until you die. Even if I want to show you how much you mean to me, I cannot do it anymore. While it's true that I am jealous and quite possessive of what is mine, things are quite different now. I am dead, and you are alive. I may be possessive and of the jealous type, but I am not selfish. After everything you have been through, you deserve to be happy in your life, Goku. And she is the one who can make you happy."
"B-But she left me as well..." Goku said, his voice breaking as tears fell down his cheeks. This time, he isn't crying for Chichi or for Gohan, and even though he hated to admit it, his tears right now is for Ami, who used to work for him months ago.
Chichi wrapped her arms around her crying husband and patted his back softly. "Then it's time to find her and bring her back, sweetheart. She had already shown you how much she loves you before, and she's still showing it until now, even if she's not with you anymore, so now it's your turn to return the favor."
Goku looked at her, becoming more confused because of what she said. "What do you mean... She's still showing how much she loves me?" He asked.
"You'll know soon enough. But for now, you have to find her and bring her back. She needs you, just as much as you need her." Chichi said as she began to disappear before Goku's very eyes.
"Chichi? Chichi! Wait! Don't leave!" Goku called out to her as he reached out his arm to hold her, only to have it go through her arm.
"Goodbye, Goku. Remember what I said. Follow your heart and you will find happiness..." Those were her last words before she completely disappeared.
"CHICHI!" Goku suddenly awoke with a start. It was another dream involving his dead wife, but this time, it was different. He clearly remembered everything Chichi had said to him about finally moving on and finding happiness.
Happiness. He deserved it after everything he had been through. But for seven long years, he deprived himself of it, because the guilt remained in his heart, which in turn caused him to lock himself up in anguish as he continued to live his life. He had never been able to forgive himself until now, nor did he even try to, and in turn, he punished himself by depriving himself of happiness because of it.
"Goku, all I want is for you to be finally happy with your life..."
He sighed as he remembered what Chichi had told him in his recent dream involving her. She wants him to be happy and find someone else, because according to her, even if she wanted to, she can no longer be that someone else anymore. And she told him to follow his heart, and to stop restraining himself from loving Ami back.
"Ami..." He whispered as he thought of Ami and everything that she had done for him while she was still working as his private nurse. For so many times, she had tried to show him and prove to him how much she loved him, but he never showed any appreciation towards her. Instead, he became rude to her, he even went as far as mocking her and insulting her that her feelings for him are fake and being paid. Right now, as he thought of those things, he felt really angry with himself for doing those things to her. Ami didn't deserve it, she doesn't deserve to be dragged into his misery. She hasn't even done anything wrong to him, what she just did is to love him and show him how much. She didn't deserve to be treated the way he treated her.
But Goku also knew that he was treating her in such a way because he wanted to repress his true feelings for her. Chichi was right, he does have feelings for Ami, which he tried to repress by being rude to her, because he didn't want to love her. He didn't want to love her, because he felt guilty. He felt guilty with regards to falling for someone else other than his late wife, for eversince her death, he conditioned his mind on the fact that it's only Chichi whom he should love in a romantic way.
Now, he had the chance to talk to Chichi in his dream, and judging from her words, it seemed as if his wife is already giving him her blessing with regards to loving someone else other than her.
But Ami is gone. Almost three months ago, Bulma told him that Ami resigned from work because of an emergency, which she didn't elaborate further even if he asked her constantly about it.
He could still remember the events that took place on that particular day when he found out that she had already left him.
GOKU opened the door silently and walked inside, having just returned from another intense work out and training session with Vegeta. However, he was a bit shocked to find out that the lights inside were off. He frowned. Ami does not go to sleep this early. It's only about six in the evening.
He switched on the lights and saw that the house was all clean and tidy. He walked towards the kitchen and to his surprise, there was no food waiting for him anymore. Instead, a neatly rolled paper was lying on the table, his name written on it in bold letters. He immediately opened the letter and read it.
"Goku,
I'm sorry if I didn't talk to you anymore regarding this. As much as I want to continue working for and staying with you, I'm afraid that it would not be the case anymore. Something urgent came up which prompted me to resign from work. An emergency happened and I had to go and tell Miss Bulma that I am quitting my job as your private nurse. It was indeed a great experience to be working for you, and I will forever treasure the memories of the days I spent at your house. I will never forget every lesson that working with you has thought me, they will forever remain in my heart, just as my love for you will. Goodbye, Goku. Please take care of yourself always.
Ami"
Goku clutched the paper in his hands tightly as tears filled his eyes. He collapsed on the nearby chair and his tears fell as he stared at her letter. For the first time in seven years, he was shedding tears for someone else other than his wife and son. He really couldn't explain why he was crying, but the thought that Ami had left him seemed to have crushed his heart. He slumped on the table as he cried silently, thinking only of Ami and the possible reason as to why she would suddenly resign from her work as his private nurse.
"I already told you, Goku. It was an emergency. As to what the emergency was all about, I do not know." Bulma told him. The next day after Ami resigned, Goku went to Bulma's office at Capsule Corporation to inquire about Ami's sudden resignation from work.
"But... Didn't she even tell you why? Surely she would, Bulma. You are her boss in the first place." Goku said to her.
"Goku, I may be her boss, but it is not my job to ask my employees information about their private lives. Yesterday morning, Ami came here and told me that she is resigning from work because of an emergency, but she did not tell me what the emergency was, and I didn't even bother to ask her about it." Bulma explained.
"Don't you have any idea as to where she could be?" Goku asked once more.
Bulma took note of the fact that Goku's voice sounded desperate as he spoke, that she couldn't help but think that Ami's love for him is not unrequited at all. She was tempted to tell him the whole truth but she remembered that she made a promise to Ami that whatever happens, she would never give any information regarding her whereabouts as well as her real reason for resignation to Goku, so Bulma shook her head.
"I'm sorry Goku. I have no idea where Ami could be right now. The address she placed in her resumé that she submitted when she applied was the address of the apartment where she used to live before she went to stay with you."
"Then give me that address. Maybe she went back there." Goku said in an urgent tone. Bulma gave him the address of Ami's old apartment and he wasted no time going to the place in hopes that he would find Ami there.
But his hopes were crushed when the landlady told him that another tenant is already occupying the apartment where Ami used to live. He tried to ask questions about Ami's possible whereabouts but just the same, the landlady could not give him any concrete information.
Needless to say, Goku went home that night without knowing where Ami went and without even having the chance to talk to her.
SINCE then, Goku spent his days alone once more. He came home to an empty house once again, with no one to tend to his needs and take care of him whenever he got injured or sick. There were moments that he thought of Ami and how his life was when she was still around, but then he would try to brush off his thoughts about her because the more he thought of her, the more he longed for her, and he didn't want to accept the fact that he missed her as well. He didn't want to accept that he indeed has feelings for her because he always told himself that he did not want to betray his late wife. However, deep inside him, Goku knew that he was only fooling himself.
"It's time to find her and bring her back..."
Goku let out another sigh as he remembered Chichi's words. Ami was gone. She left without a single trace. And even if he tried to focus so he could find her energy signal, he couldn't. He didn't know if Ami was capable of masking her ki, but for some reason, he could not trace her exact location by trying to feel for her ki. He had no idea as well with regards to her whereabouts, for the only information he knew about her was the address of her old apartment that he got from Bulma. Even Bulma could not give him an answer as to where Ami could be right now.
Oh, Ami... Will I ever find you? You don't know how much I miss you and how I regret the way I treated you before. Sometimes, I couldn't help but think that it's the real reason why you resigned and decided to leave me, because you cannot tolerate everything that I did to you anymore, and that the whole emergency thing is just a front. I should have treated you properly when you were still here. Now you're gone, and I don't know if I will ever see you again... And get to tell you how much I care and... Love you as well, Goku thought as a lone tear fell down his cheek.
