FIVE
Akira was still in Yabu’s place. She enjoyed knowing different things about a commoner’s way of living. She had so much fun talking to Megumi. Despite of having a boyish attitude, she is fun to be with and has a good sense of humour. For the past 17 years, she never experienced to see such places in the normal world. She felt that she was like a beautiful bird, but trapped in a cage which is full of thorns.
Akira’s smile began to fade. Megumi noticed this and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Hmm? It’s nothing. I just felt that you guys are surely having fun in this way of living, ne?” said Akira with a bitter smile.
The two boys noticed Akira’s expression, thinking how sad she is in reality. Megumi felt it, too. But she didn’t want this kind of atmosphere so she had a wide smile on her face, saying, “That’s okay. A-Actually, I’m jealous of you…you’re pretty…you’re rich…and you’re talented. You are such perfect and so your lifestyle ne~”
“It’s not something to be jealous of. It’s hard to be me.”
There was another moment of silence. Yabu went closer and messed Akira’s hair, saying, “Don’t worry about it. The important thing is you have friends like us, ne, Nishihara-san?”
“You’re so formal, Kouta~” yelled Megumi, pouting.
“Huh?” Yabu said.
“If we’re friends, then call her, Akira! Ne, Akira-chan?” Megumi winked. Akira smiled without saying anything.
“Then…Akira-chan…” Yabu said hesitantly.
“Hey, your face is red, ne?” Megumi said, poking his cheeks. Yabu pushed her a bit and said, “Shut up, Megumi!”
Akira watched her two new friends arguing. With this, she found herself having such happiness. This is the life she wanted. Having such narrow space in their home is like having a narrow distance from another-being closer to another. Hikaru sat beside her and said, “They’re usually like this since we were together. Better be used to it.”Akira smiled and nodded.
Hikaru found himself smiling back, too. He thought that he is alone as well after his father died. But realizing that he reunited with his friends and met Akira at the same time, he had the happiness that he had just like before. No, he felt happier than before after meeting Nishihara Akira.
Akira’s BlackBerry phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and in shocked, it was Takaki. She suddenly started to have fear. Yabu and Megumi stopped arguing and looked at the scared Akira. Hikaru asked her, “Are you okay?”
Akira nodded and said, “I-I am…I’m just…going to answer this, okay?”
She went to the veranda and shivering down to her spine. She hates Takaki and at the same time, she fears to see Takaki. She slowly pressed the answer button and said, “Yes?”
The three people who were waiting for Akira to be finished looked at each other. Megumi really didn’t know about that guy but after all Yabu’s stories, she started to hate him, too. Akira was finished talking to him and hanged the phone up. Megumi went closer and asked, “Are you okay, Akira-chan?”
“I’m sorry, Megumi-chan…Yabu-kun…we need to go home now,” Akira said.
“Eh? Why?” Megumi asked.
“He’s in the mansion. He said that he wanted to see me,” Akira said. Yabu went closer, saying in a loud voice, “Don’t let him ruin you. Just because he’s your engagement partner, it doesn’t mean he could control your life.”
“I know, thanks,” Akira said. She turned to Hikaru and said, “Hikaru-kun, let’s go.”
They arrived in the mansion. Hikaru opened the car door for Akira to go out. As they entered the mansion, they saw Takaki sitting casually in the sofa, reading a magazine. As he saw Akira, he stood up and said, “Yo! Where have you been?”
“It’s none of your business, right?” Akira said. Takaki had an insulting smirk and said to Hikaru, “Oi Yaotome, could you answer my question?”
Hikaru bowed and said, “I’m sorry, Takaki-sama. If Akira-sama said that it is a secret, then I’m afraid I can say it.”
That way of honourable speaking made Takaki annoyed. He grabbed Hikaru’s collar and said, “Don’t take me so lightly, Yaotome Hikaru. You’re nothing compared to me.”
Akira’s eyes widened and tried to push Takaki, saying, “Stop it.”
Hikaru smirked and said in a soft voice, “Just because you’re rich and her engagement partner, it doesn’t mean that she’ll like you, too. So don’t be full of yourself.”
Takaki pushed him a bit and said, “We’re not yet finish, you poor guy. I can tell Nishihara-san to fire you.”
“Then tell him about that,” Hikaru said, “Or I’ll tell everyone what you are doing to Akira-sama.”
“Tch,” Takaki said and left the mansion immediately. Akira sat on the sofa and face-palmed. She had a mix emotion of relief and disturbance. She was disturbed of what Takaki did but relief that Hikaru was always by her side.
“Akira, are you okay?” Hikaru asked. Akira smiled, saying, “Thank you.”
In the middle of the night, Akira couldn’t sleep. Since Akira befriended with Megumi, she asked her to go somewhere with Yabu and Hikaru tomorrow which is Sunday. Megumi said her okay on the phone. Akira smiled a bit. Akira got the home telephone on the side table and dialled the number which was only between her and her personal butler, Hikaru.
Hikaru wasn’t sleeping-he was in the middle of studying when he heard the home telephone ringing.
“Yes, Akira?” Hikaru asked.
“Ne, Butler-san…would you mind going out with me tomorrow?” Akira asked.
Hikaru’s eyes widened. In shock, he asked, “What do you mean? Only the two of us?!”
Hikaru heard Akira laughing from the other line, saying, “Of course we’re with Megumi-chan and Yabu-kun.”
“A-Ah…I see,” Hikaru said.
“I’ll wake up at 4 in the morning, we’re going to escape tomorrow since my father is not here, ne?”
“Eh? So I’m not going to prepare the car?” Hikaru asked.
“Of course. I want to try to be normal,” she said.
“You’re normal. You’re just rich,” Hikaru said in a soft voice.
“What?” Akira said.
“Ah, nothing,” Hikaru said.
“So, tomorrow okay? Goodnight,” Akira said.
“Sleep well,” Hikaru said.
“You, too,” Akira said as she hanged up. Hikaru went back on studying. For some reasons, he got disappointed when he knew that it was not only the two of them. Thinking about this, he had a soft laugh, saying to himself, “What am I thinking?”
Akira went back to bed, wearing a smile on her face. It was only a week but she had new friends. Not to mention she started to treat someone important. Seeing him smile makes her smile, too.
She sat on her bed, looked at the picture of her mom on the table whom she didn’t even see personally. She smiled and said, “Mom, I found my happiness now…even without you and my brother’s presence…I can feel that I’m loved.”
And there, she had a goodnight sleep.
Akira woke up at fifteen minutes past three in the morning. She quietly took a shower and dressed up. She wore a jacket and a simple jeans and rubber shoes. She also wore a hat and sunglasses.
After dressing up, it was already ten minutes before four in the morning; she knocked on Hikaru’s room which was located seventeen rooms away from her. She knocked and said in a soft voice, “Hikaru-kun…are you there?”
Exactly as she said that, a maid went out. Akira didn’t know where to hide. The maid started looking into her direction, Akira panicked. Luckily, Hikaru opened the door in his room that time and pulled Akira.
“Don’t shout, she might hear you,” Hikaru whispered, covering her mouth. Akira hit his hands a bit. Hikaru released her and said, “I’m sorry.”
“It’s okay…” Akira said. Hikaru wore his jacket and noticed what Akira was wearing. He stared at her for a while which made Akira asked, “How is it? Do I look normal now?”
Hikaru noticed her glasses and hat and asked, “Are you impersonating Sumitani Masaki?”
“Eh?! I’m not!!!” Akira yelled. Hikaru sighed and said, “You really want to be caught with your stupid actions, huh?” Akira covered her mouth. Hikaru grabbed his bag and held her hand which made Akira blush a bit.
“Let’s go,” Hikaru said.
They hurried in going out of the mansion. Luckily, they have escaped and went to Yabu and Megumi’s place.
The sun was already rising when they have arrived. Megumi and Yabu laughed because they were too early. Akira explained that she only escaped the mansion that’s why they were too early.
“Akira-chan, what were you thinking?” Megumi said.
“Don’t worry, my father’s out of town right now so he won’t find out,” Akira smiled.
They went to an amusement park and had fun. It was Akira’s first time to be in a Japanese amusement park since when she was a child; she went to Disneyland in America for ten times with her butler then. She wasn’t happy at all that time that’s why when she was with her new friends; she enjoyed riding the Ferris wheel, doing a bungee jump, and riding a roller coaster. After riding the roller coaster, Yabu vomited which made Megumi laughed and said, “How lame.”
She accompanied the dizzy Yabu in a much comfortable area then. Hikaru and Akira were left alone, waiting for the two to come back.
“Ne,” Akira said.
“What is it?” Hikaru asked. Akira smiled saying, “Thank you for the last night.”
“Hmm? That’s nothing. I didn’t expect that that guy is really annoying, ne~” Hikaru said.
“He is,” Akira said.
There was a moment of silence between the two of them. Akira felt warmer now than before. That silence, was not as awkward as before, for some reason, she found it comfortable. A vendor suddenly came to them and said, “Ne, are you two having some fun?”
Hikaru and Akira nodded. The vendor looked at Hikaru and said, “You’re lucky, ne? Having a cute girlfriend like her.”
“Eh? It’s not like that,” Akira said embarrassedly. Hikaru denied it, too but the vendor ignored their denials and said, “I sell cute items. You can buy a pair couple ring for the two of you.”
“Eh? But-” Akira said but Hikaru pulled out his wallet from his pocket and got his money. The vendor handed the couple ring to Hikaru and said, “I hope that the two of you will be happy, ne?”
As the vendor walked away, the both of them bowed. Hikaru looked at the couple ring and hid it in his pocket, saying, “I’ll keep these for a while, ne?”
“Eh?” Akira said. Hikaru looked at her through her eyes, saying, “I’ll give the other ring to you in the right time.”
Akira blushed. At the same time, her heart beat faster than she thought. She didn’t expect that she’ll hear such words from her butler and friend. Thinking what he meant, Akira smiled awkwardly and said, “Okay.”
Megumi and Yabu came back and said, “We’re back~!”
“Yabu-kun, are you okay now?” Akira asked. Yabu, looking pale, nodded. Megumi smacked Yabu and said, “For the past seven years, until now, you’re getting sick with roller coasters ne~ learn to grow up!”
Akira and Hikaru laughed a bit. Megumi had an idea and said, “Ne, let’s go eat our lunch now~”
“Okay,” Akira said.
She was still in disguised. While the two guys ordered their lunch in the fast-food Megumi noticed this and asked, “Why are you wearing a disguise?”
“Well, some people recognized me because of my father’s influence,” Akira said.
“Oh, I see,” Megumi said.
As they were eating, Megumi watched the news from the television in the fast-food with a breaking news.
“Minna-san, good afternoon. This is breaking news, the daughter of the famous business tycoon Nishihara Tadashi, Nishihara Akira, has been missing. Since there are death threats in the Nishihara household, everyone in their mansion was seriously worried when they found out that Nishihara Akira was missing together with her personal butler early this morning. Nishihara Tadashi received this news and asked the officials to have a search in the whole city in collaboration with the police officials, Japanese self-defence forces such as the maritime force, air force and the army. Also, the airports are being checked. We are going to update you very soon once Nishihara Tadashi will go back to Japan. Thank you.”
Akira was shocked especially when she saw her picture flashed on the screen. Megumi and Yabu looked at her and said, “That was just…”
Hikaru looked at her, saying, “I think it’s better for us to go home.”
Akira didn’t know what to say. She just wanted a normal life with her friends but what had happened…was worse than what she thought.
