As a friend yuto hated those times, whenever he sees yuri often stay still, Looking far far away and would doze off. Even though how many times yuri would lie to him that she’s okay, the sadness that she truly felt would still reflect on her black orbs.
“And here you go again” yuto approached her, for a moment yuri stare at him, blinking she tried to put a smile on her face. “Hi” she murmured
“I’m sorry that I wasn’t able to accompany you a while ago” he shrugged “so, how was it? How’s the baby?” he asked
“Hmmm…” yuri hummed, putting her hands atop her belly and gently caressed it “the doctor said, it’s a boy!”
“Wow! That’s great! I won the bet!” he said proudly, yuri shook her head and click her tongue. She glances up the window, snow outside was falling hard, her attention was set outside and that brought a minute of silence…
“So, have you told him about the baby? That’s it’s a boy?” he ask breaking the silence but Yuri shook her head as an answer “do you want me to tell him?” a hopeful look is visible through his eyes
“no yutti~ I’m good, it’s just that. I don’t think I can face him anymore, the last time we talked it was months ago and I felt like I don’t want to push myself to him anymore. If he doesn’t love me, I understand.” She answered sadly as sad memory of the last time they talked flashed through her mind like a thunder, and she doesn’t want to remember it anymore, never!, it was such a very tragic encounter, she sadly tilted her head staring at her knuckles.
~~~
“Uhmm, yutti~” she called him.
Yuto look at her, his expression changes. He can see a myriad emotion that crosses on her face, but he’s completely unaware of what she had at the back of her mind, the look that she’s giving is completely indescribable, there’s something in her look which he can’t fathom. But he decided to ask her nonetheless.
Yuri took a deep breath, trying to work out of what she wanted to say
“You know, all this time I keep on thinking of what to do.” her voice trails off, as she look at him “and if it wasn’t for you, I’m very much sure I was lost now” she added, Yuto remains motionless, listening to her intently
“After what happened, I just realized that I can’t be what ryosuke wanted to be.. and..I..I don’t deserved him” she choked, and at that moment yuto could clearly heard a noise; her sobbed. “So, the divorce thing.. I mean it”
“yuri!” he breathes, his eyes went all wide “all of all things..why do ever you think of that?! No! don’t! I told you before! no….no”
“yutti please, I’m tired! I don’t want to argue about this with you anymore” her voice is empty and lack of life “I’m sorry” yuri shrugged, her usual expression stills; cold, miserable and in need of love and protection
“I’m moving back home - to Shizuoka, I already told nee-chan yesterday”
He shook his head “and now you’re planning to leave!”
“Yes, yutti! This is for the best of us!” she rubbed her temples “I don’t know what to do, all I know is, I just can’t stay here anymore.”
“but yuri~ Shizuoka is far, and traveling alone on that condition isn’t safe!” he grimaced, she stalked away from him
He followed her “yuri~ wait! Would you please listen to me first!” but yuri waved her hands dismissively wanting not to discuss it any further. She’s tired, and she needs some rest.
Yuri glances at the clock, it is now pass eleven in the evening, and it was rather a chilly night as snow falls hardly; she’s waiting for the arrival of yuto. Earlier this morning, she didn’t even get a chance to talk and to apologize to him for being such hard-headed last night; guilt is eating her up and thinking that the older guy is mad at her.
Finally, her long patience was gone answered by the door swinging open, and he entered.
“yuri? Why are you still awake?” he asked
“okaeri yutti, I’m glad your home. I made dinner” she manages to put a smile on her sleepy face “come, let’s eat”
“yuri” he called her “you don’t need to wait for me, you know. It’s really cold” he said but she shook her head
“I’m worried since it is snowing outside… and besides, this is my last night in this house remember?”
Yuto look at her with a confused look and then realize that tomorrow will be her departure. His face became ashen, knowing the fact that tomorrow morning, there will be no Yuri anymore, the girl who always there to lighten up the atmosphere of the house even though she was not really in her happy mood since the day she lived there.
“Don’t worry about me!” she smiled, putting both of her hands on his shoulders and squeezed it “make me happy tonight by telling me a story about what happened to you today, ne?” she show her a bright smiled, and seeing it changed his mood a little.
~~~
“How I wished you won’t leave” yutti said, his words are in agonized. He doesn’t really want her to leave, and yuri did knows that it’s risky for pregnant woman to travel alone. “Take care for me, please!”
“I’m good, don’t worry about me” yuri said trying to assure him “I only have one last favor to ask”
“What is it?” yuto asks, yuri fish out something from her bag and hands him something
“Would you mind giving it to ryosuke?”
“What’s this?”
“My Christmas gift for him and this too” she hands him a paper bag and an enveloped “and please, don’t tell him where I’m going. I don’t want to bother him anymore and I want to forget him and start a new life again. Would you keep that promise?”
Yuto couldn’t agree with her
“yuti please!” yuri bit her lips “please please! Promise me you won’t tell him.”
“i…I promise”
“I have to go now. yutti~ thanks for everything. I love you… as a friend” she mumbles as she hugged him. He nodded, and kissed her hair.
He watched her walking away, until her sight fades away.
Yuri took a last glance at the sight of Tokyo, she just can’t believe that she had decided to leave the place that she love, somehow, it’s not just the place that she’ll be missing, but him. She digs her phone out from her pocket, with a shaky finger, she dialed ryosuke’s number, and fortunately she heard a ring from the other line.
“Hello?” a voice from the other line prompted. Hearing his voice made yuri’s chest tightened, it made her stutter for a moment, unable to speak as he keeps on repeating the ‘hello?’ her mind trying to process everything.
“Ryosuke..” yuri bit her lips after a moment, she have waited for him to speak
“Yuri?” there was a hint of shocked in there “yuri…”
“Yes it’s me… uhmm..”
“ryosuke.. I just want to greet you a Merry Christmas” she murmured, tears falls from her dark orbs; she wiped it using her thumb “That’s all! Geeezzz! I’m sorry for disturbing and calling you this early, I shouldn’t to that, but uhmmm” he heard her choked from sobbing “Yuri.. I”
Yuri didn’t give him a chance to speak “Take care of yourself, okay? yaaaaa~ Goodbye Ryosuke!” she hung her phone up not bothering herself to wait for his response. Her final call made him felt that there’s something strange with her.
In other side, Ryosuke walk in his office, he stretched his arms, loosened his tie and sat in his chair. The meeting with stockholders drowned his energy. He suddenly heard a sudden knock from the door.
“Sir?” his secretary nodded, holding something
“What is it?” he asked professionally, the secretary walks nearer
“There is this guy, named Yuto Nakajima” she said quizzically
“Yes! What’s with yuto? Is he here?” ryosuke asked, he actually wanted to talk to him since a while ago, the sudden call drove him crazy and he need to talk to him about it, and about her.
“No sir, he actually left when I told him that you’re in a meeting. But he did left me something, he told me to give you this.” the secretary put the long enveloped and a small paper bag “he’s actually in rushed sir, and he told me that, this is from Yuri”
“From yuri” he repeated, his eyes went all wide “so, he’s with yuri?” he asked trying to confirm that she’s with him.
“No, he’s alone. Sir”
“okay, thanks for this”
“yes sir” she bowed her head politely and stalked out of the room immediately.
Ryosuke stare at the paper bag his mind whirled, the thought of yuri made his chest heaved with emotion. He feels something strange, the sudden call, and now these things; the small paper bag and the enveloped, he wasn’t wrong when he thought of the idea that this things was from her.
He can’t deny the fact that he missed her that much, every piece, every inch and everything about her. Ryosuke closed his eyes in pain, he hurt the girl that he love the most just because of not getting what he wants. Everytime he closed his eyes, the memories of yuri keeps on flashing; her warm bright smile, her soft voice, her gentle caressed. He gazed up at the small paper bag, he noticed that there’s a small card which attached on it.
To: Yamada Ryosuke
From: Chinen Yuri
Curiosity runs through his mind, opening it. He saw a handmade blue scarf and...A letter, he read the letter silently.
Dear Ryosuke,
First, I want to greet you a Merry Christmas. I Hope you’ll accept my simple gift for you. I made this scarf for you; I just want to let you know that I still care for you. I do hope too, that you’ll wear this to keep you safe and warm.
My ryosuke, forgive me for still calling you mine, but I assure you that this will be last. The look on your face made it clear to me that you’re now happy with her. Ryosuke, I want to say Thank you for loving me, for making me happy, for being once a Yamada even just for a short time. The happiness you gave to me is incomparable. I know I can’t be the best wife like other, I failed to give you want you want. This would just mean that were not destined after all….
Gone were the days that we were together happily. Oh ryosuke, I love you and I will always love you. You’re the first and the last man I fell in love with... Despite of what happened to us, the promised I made during our wedding day would still my promised. I will always love you until my last breath.
I don’t expect for a return, I don’t want to ruin your happy life.
I’m now letting you go… let’s live in peace... I love you.
Your wife
Yuri
Hot tears stung his eyes, and this letter woke him up from everything, he felt misery.
He reached for his phone and his fingers tapping the screen to dial her number, but after trying to call her, the luck wasn’t in his side as her phone wasn’t ringing and her phone was out of reach already. He rose from his seat, pacing back and forth, his shaky fingers taps again another familiar number but this time, it was yuto’s number.
“please answer” he repeated like a mantra, and he was rewarded with an hello on the other line.
“yuto! This is me”
“Yes? What is it yama-chan?” he asked coldly
“about yuri?”
“yuri? oh yes! yes! yama-chan, I can’t talk to you any further right now. I’m doing something for my proposal and I need to submit it after fifteen minutes. Can you, uhmmm… yuri did told me that you must see what’s inside the enveloped, that will explain everything”
“Can I see you this evening then? And yuri too”
“Sure, I call you when I’m done with this…” yuto hung the phone without waiting for his response, it was like a deja vu for him, coz yuri did the same just a while ago.
Wondering of what’s inside, he fishes out the papers from the thick enveloped.
Ryosuke’s mouth gape open as shocked flooded on his face, he can’t believed of this, he wanted to throw the papers away.
“D-divorced paper?!” He was stutter, in a quick move his feet brought him outside of yuto’s nakajima office
“What are you doing here?” yuto asked in surprised, his brows furrowed
“Can we talk?”
“But…”
“Please... yuto, please! I want to talk to you right now…”
“About what? About yuri? Your wife? Oh- I’m sorry, you ex-wife rather. Well, I’m sorry that she doesn’t want to talk to you anymore” yuto shrugged sarcastically “can’t you see? She’s avoiding you. Because seeing you happy put so much pain in her… now, do you honestly want me to tell you the truth? That you’re stupid, heartless person I’ve ever known in my entire life and stupid! You’re my best friend” he continues, gritting his teeth.
“I’m sorry that I putted so much pain in her” ryosuke murmured
“and you realize it just now?! Too late Yamada Ryosuke! Don’t you have any idea that she’s carrying your son? Yes! Yuri is pregnant, six months pregnant, she’s carrying a boy? Shocked? Me too, I was shocked. I don’t know, if you were still happy that she’s now pregnant, she either doesn’t know!” yuto breathes at his long statement, true that he can’t control himself and his emotions right now, and he wanted to throw a stone at ryosuke’s head for him to wake up, and to realize everything
“I’m sorry” yuto shrugged “it’s just that, I love yuri and I hate seeing her in pain…I treated her like my younger sister when you weren’t there for her… Go! Follow her, she’s in Shizuoka right now!” it doesn’t matter for him if yuri would get mad that he spilled the beans, all he wants right now is for them to be together again.
“You mean--” ryosuke asked in disbelief
“Just go yama-chan! There’s no more time for asking. Thank me later when you see her” yuto smiled tapping his shoulder “Good luck!”
“Thanks yuto! I’ll go now!” he gave him a bro hugged and taps his shoulder too before walking out of his office.
“Keito, book a flight for me to Shizuoka right now!” his usual CEO aura is in command
“Yes sir!” said the manly voice on the other line
