I want you to listen to this song of Adele, which inspired me
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDRwqTNLGDs&feature=share When will I see you again?
You left with no goodbye, not a single word was said
No final kiss to seal anything I had no idea of the state we were in
I know I have a fickle heart and a bitterness
And a wandering eye and a heaviness in my head
*flashback*
At the end of December, it was such a cold and dull winter that deepened the pain in my heart. I knew that this time would come sooner and later, the time I had to put an end to your even-not-beginning relationship. I couldn't even look straight into your eyes coz I knew that once I met your sorrow eyes, I couldn't hold my feelings and hugged you tight. My heart still told me that I can't let you go...
Did you remember last year's winter when I promised you " We would hold each other hand till the end'.? Sorry for now I can't keep my words. I have to let go...
This year's winter I am going to get married? But the person who stands under the altar with me is not you.
Unlike you, she is the one I have never ever had feelings for.
Finally I am coward after all, unable to endure others' disgusting eyes on us.
So I chose, someone,I thought, can bring me a normal life just like my dream since I was small.
... A small happy family with lovely children... as a normal man...
Why that time no one stopped me? Even you. Why did you just stand there and let me go after such harsh words? If only you had kept me back, now our life would be different.
No more regret, no more pain.
You went just 2 days before our marriage... with him. Not even told me or let me see your face maybe the last time. It must be such a long distance from Japan to American but it was much farther the distance between our heart.
But don't you remember?
Don't you remember?
The reason you loved me before
Baby, please remember me once more
When was the last time you thought of me?
Or have you completely erased me from your memory?
I often think about where I would roam More I do, the less I know
*end*
"Papa, okaeri."
Ryosuke lifted his face from the ground, smiling a little seeing his little angel run down from the upstairs, rushed into arms.
"Tadaima." She giggled cutely.
He lifted her up, crashing his nose to her while taking his shoes off "How is your day going on, my dear?".
" The best of all. I've got mark A for math and english test and sang very well in the school concert. And I even got the gold medal for swimming contest." She took a small round gold mental from her shirt and showed it to Ryosuke. He took it and smiled broadly.
" That's my girl. What do you want me to give you as a present this time?"
"Really? Can I?" Her big browned eyes sparkled.
He nodded.
"I want to spend the holiday with you and mom."
He frowned for a second then looked at her gently.
"I am sorry, dear. I can't I have to work at company this holiday." And he felt sorry seeing her disappointed face. " But I will drive you to mom's place now so quickly go upstairs and pack things up, ok?"
She nodded and run excitedly to her room.
Ryosuke stood there, smiled bitterly." I'm sorry Keiko, I am not only a bad husband but also a hopeless father. I am useless."
Yes, last year they broke up after trying hard to save their marriage for 4 years but lead to nothing but failure. His wife, Setsuko always accused him of not spending time with family and always focused on his entertainment business. But they knew the true reason was that the thing between them was not love after all but the responsibility. Although she loved him so much, Setsuko knew that Ryosuke continued to live with her just because of Keiko, their 4-year-old daughter. He was too kind to break her little fragile soul. Yet, it was different to her, how can a woman stand living with the husband who is always thinking of someone else, missing even crying and hurting because of an unachievable image.

Los Angeles, California
In a small apartment in the south of the fabulous city, lived a young small Japanese man, named Chinen Yuri. He lived there alone for 4 years since leaving Japan, leaving his painful past behind to start a new life. Every day passed, he struggled to live, to get over his illness which ironically just became worse and worse.
It was 5.00 am. Yuri woke up after endure another sleepless night. He walked tiredly toward the kitchen, poured water to the cup, took his medicine, his head ached too much but he tried to keep himself being conscious. Yuri picked his phone and pressed the number.
"Moshi, moshi, Yuto-kun."
"Chinen. What's wrong with you? Do you feel unhealthy again." Yuto's voice became panicked.
"No, it's not serious like this. I just want to check your condition. How is it, you and Keito's honeymoon? Did I interrupt you two wonderful night here?" He smirked, knowing that he made his best friend blush hard.
"No. stupid. We are in France and it's morning already here."
Yuri laughed. " That's ok. But ..."
"Is that true that there is nothing wrong with you, Chii. I can sense it here." Said Yuto worriedly, the Chinen Yuri, he knew would never call him so suddenly like this, Chinen was not used to making phone call for jam.
Yuri's voice became smaller.
"Yesterday I came to hospital and my doctor said that I needed to prepare. There is not much time left for me."
"Chii.." Yuto tried to hold his tears. Keito hugged him tightly from behind.
" Can I ask you for one small help?"
"Anything, Chii. Anything I can do for you?"
" Can you accompany me to Japan this time? I want to see him."
"But Chii, if you come back, you will get hurt, he has already had a happy family."
"I know but I really want to see him just one more..." He almost cried.
"It's ok. Keito and I will be with you."
"Thank you Yuchan."
