So, have fine walk in here, Ryo?” Ueda look at Ryo face who now looking at faraway through the park. He so damn good looks here. I’m so cherish to feel that skin. Ueda face blush suddenly for thinking that way to Ryo. “Yeah, I need to clear up my head,” said Ryo bluntly. Ryo turn to look at Ueda side and he can see Ueda redden face. So cute! Ryo look away. “Erm… say I need to get back first…I have a nice day by meeting you here Tatchan,” say Ryo. The conversation is really awkward for both of them but in comfort way. Ryo stand up from his sit and ready to walk, but suddenly Ryo stop and look back to Ueda. “Ano, next time…I buy you some coffee…for the lost cup today.” Nervous feeling appear inside him. Nande? “It fine with me. But for today, that my fault for daydream,” Ueda smile at Ryo. He not want Ryo feel guilty for today incident. He is just great full to see Ryo personally today.
Dose him dreaming…he is Ryo who talking with Ueda Tatsuya? Why he is so bother with it? Before this he makes a cold presence in front Ueda. He is just assistance at Ueda department. He just does work that he asks to do clean and smart. Well, the job as an entrepreneur… there is a lot of thing to do. Lot of work but the salary is too great for support his life. He needs to pay hospital bill for operation. Not for him but for his lovely sister, Yuri. She has a heart disease since her 8 years old. She is cheerful girl in to Ryo eyes. There is no one beside her to make Ryo happy. His parents died in car accident when Yuri is 10 years old. She got difficulties to accept it. For that, she has hospitalized for one year with machine support. That makes Ryo sad, to see her in that condition. He tries to be a good brother and parents to his sister. Ryo was not leave as other boys at his young age dose do and have. He tries hard to save and leave with his sister and make her happy. He put aside his needs for his sister sake. There is no one in his life, there’s only for his sister.
On the other hand, Ueda smile all along back home. He feels so happy. He meets a person he loves privately. First time he meets Ryo was in the lobby of his office building. On that time, he was late to attend a meeting. He rushes on the elevator…unlucky for him, Tatsuya stumble down. His things drop on the floor. At that messy moment, someone give a hand for help him. That person is Nishikido Ryo. That was the first sight of Ryo that makes him fall in love. After that, he knew that Ryo will work at his department under his line. Ueda was so happy with the news. He always gives any job to Ryo that related to him directly. That gives an advantage for him. He can see Ryo everyday. In weeks after, he can tell that Ryo is a person who smart at work and shy at the same time. That makes Ueda love of him grown more. The problem is, he not really open up to other people easily. That makes Ueda hardly to tell his feeling to Ryo. He might hurt the others or scared him. He was afraid that Ryo will leave him and that what the last thing he afraid off… so Ueda decide to get close with Ryo. Those are enough for him rather then not see Ryo. But today, is a different scenario of him with Ryo. Together at the park and more importantly, Ryo asked him for another meeting with him. Only the two of us…not for works…it just for hang out or he can call himself as a first date with Ryo. Ueda build a hope with smile on his faces. He blushes more.
Recline on the white bed and accompany with a machine that monitor her life. Yuri gets up and goes closer to looks out of window. She can see her brother coming at the ground floor. Almost every day her brother will visit. She so bless to have brother like Ryo. He sacrifices his life just to make sure she gets the best from her life and to be healthy again. Ryo will come with smile full on his face. He will accompany her when he had a time from work. She know that her brother love her so much. But she knows that her brother is suffering of what happen into their family. She doesn’t have any hope in future life, that for sure, but for his brother, she hopes that he will cherish his life more. When she not in his side anymore. Yuri looks up at the sky. Today is so windy. There is a group of bird fly at the sky freely. She smiles.
Yuri goes seat back to her bed. She laid back and wait for her lovely brother came in. She wish for his last time in her life is to make her brother happier. The last task he needs to make it happen. She swears. There is knock on the door and the door slide open slowly. Ryo appear as always with smile on his face. “Hey sweetie, how are you doing? Did the guy next door still give you red petals?” Ryo came near to the bed. “Hi Ryo, I still in the hospital am I? And yes he still busy to find the fresh petals for me tomorrow,” Yuri make a face. Ryo stiff for few second, then he smile. “Sorry, have you taken your medicine?” concern Ryo. He looks at his sister. She still pretty as before she enter the hospital. She looks so liveliness…cheerfulness appear on her face. “Ne Ryo-nii, can we go out dating today? It’s being a while I’m not going for walk with you. Furthermore, my body feels numb already and I want away from hospital zone. Please?” Say Yuri ignore Ryo question. She just wants to distract herself from her sickness. Ryo understand that too. “Well, that is why I came here today. I got day off just for my precious lady here and I’ve already got permission from doctor for your leave. Where did you want to go today? It’s my treat.” Ryo smile with his sister request. “Let’s go for shopping first. I don’t want to ware old fashion dress when dating with you today,” she grins. “Yeah such a spoil little sister,” say Ryo while he prepare for his sister to get out for their ‘dating’.
One hour. It about one hour Ueda waiting for someone who accompanies him today at festival and that person really make him buys seven cup of coffee today. Suddenly he eyes catch a figure that he knew. “In here…Kame!” Ueda wave his hand to that person. It is his best friend Kamenashi Kazuya. “Why so late?” ask Ueda when Kame came to near him. “Shhh, don’t call me like that out loud. Sorry I’m late. Something came out that I need to settle it down first.” Kame explains. “Well seem you were here, your sorry is accepted, should we start moving?” say Ueda cheerfully. They walk together to the festival.
Lot of people is on the festival. The surrounding is so colorful. Ueda and Kame enjoy the event. They have fun playing hitting penguin head and catching fish. Then they watch mini soap opera mostly about fairy tales. In the end on the festival they buy a food and drink to fill their hungry stomach. Both of them look so happy and enjoy the event. They find a place little bit far from the crowd for eat. They both seat under the big tree and enjoy the view.
“Oh, today is really fun to go here. Thank you for accompany me today Kame,” say Ueda while eating his muffin. “Emm…I enjoyed too.” Kame looks at his cheerful friend. It has being long to see that face so cheerful. “You seem happy, is there something happen lately?” ask Kame carefully. He look at Ueda who now humming when eating his vanilla muffin, Ueda favorites. In this few months Ueda look so stress with his works. Kame knew that Ueda is in love with their co-worker Nishikido Ryo for so long. And Kame knew that Ueda hold his feeling because he afraid of rejection. That makes Ueda look weird when he smile to everyone at their office especially when it comes to Nishikido Ryo. Kame doesn’t really know Ryo personally but to make Ueda like that miserable really make him in anger. Not just Ryo but everybody who make his friend in depress really make him anger. It has being long that Ueda in miserable way and Kame blame for that to Ryo because make his friend so miserable. But today it seems so different. Ueda look so cheerful and bright. He wonders what make his friend bloom like Sakura flowers. Pretty and cute, that what Kame thought by see Ueda face. Kame smile looking for his friend behavior. “Last week, I meet Ryo at the park, alone,” Ueda look at Kame. He continues “We seat together and we seat so close. I can feel his warm body and I can smell his cologne sweetly.” Ueda smile wider, “and you know Kame, he ask me for a date…erm, well not exactly but I will call it like that.” Kame can see Ueda blush face when say it out loud. “Why he ask you out?” Ask Kame curious. “Well, on that day I resting on the park with a cup of coffee, while I enjoying the coffee someone approach me suddenly and I was shock and my coffee fall from my hands. That person is Ryo.” Ueda hands grab his drink and Kame wait for him to finish his story. “So, because of that he wants to repay me for the coffee.” Ueda sip his drink after finish his story. “That can’t be call a date Tatchan. He just wants to repay for the coffee.” Tell Kame. “No…for me it is. This is the only chance I can be with him alone together and importantly it not about works.” Say Ueda firmly. “Tatchan don’t give much of hope, it will hurt you later on. I don’t want to see you in that state. It makes me feel hurt too.” Explain Kame. “It’s okay Kame, I’m sure it will be fine,” Ueda pads Kame shoulder with smile on his face. Kame just nods with his friend happiness. “Let’s go, there is lot of fun in the festival waiting for us,” Ueda pull Kame sleeve. They both go back to the festival.
Vicinity on the Willow Street is really peaceful. Not many people shopping in this windy weather. But it is the best time for Ryo. In front of him right now, he can see a beautiful young lady with shining face smile widely choosing a new cloth for her. He hopes that picture in front of him right now will remain forever. Ryo smile silently. He came near to the lady. “Have you finished? You need to date someone in here?” say Ryo. “Okay, this is the last one, do you like it?” cheer voice can hear from her. “Yuri?!!” Ryo walk away from her slowly. “Fine! Can you be a romantic person for a moment?” she pouts. In Ryo eyes she looks beautiful when she sulk. “Yeah, whatever…you are so pretty without those close too,” Ryo persuade her. “Or you only used your charm brother here for you to buy this all stuff?” Ryo love to tease his sister. Yuri just ignores Ryo and goes to the counter with a cloth that she chooses. “Here, that charm person there will pay for it,” Yuri gifts her cloth to the salesgirl and walks out from the shop and waits for Ryo outside. Ryo just smile with his sister behavior. He pays for the cloth and walk near to his sister. “Here my lady, your cloth? Shall we go?” Ryo give the bag to his sister with two hands and half bow when he handed the bag to her. “Thank you,” she grab the bag and start to leave Ryo but she stop and look at her brother for moment then she take Ryo hand and they walk together.
“Eh, look there Ryo…There is festival happen. Let’s go there,” Yuri drag Ryo to where she mention. “It’s must be fun.” She looks so excited and Ryo just follow his sister without complaint. There is lot of shop, balloon shop, mask shop, meat ball shop, cake shop, ice cream shop, brooch shop, mini game shop, flower shop, and to many shop that so colorful on the festival. “Yuri, don’t go too far from me okay. I don’t want you lost here and it will be tiresome to find you if you lost.” Say Ryo to his cheerful sister. “You know Ryo, you have killed the fun here, now I want to go back. It’s not fun walk with so protected brother here.” Yuri make face. Here there is go again, she childish act. Ryo smile at that. Yuri walks in front of Ryo. She not walked beside Ryo like before. Ryo just walk slowly watching his sister from behind.
Unfortunately for Yuri, after a few stall they past, there is someone hits her body unexpectedly. With that, Yuri falls to the ground. It feels hurts. Ryo who look from behind look shocked. He runs to his sister. “Yuri, how are you? Are you okay?” asked Ryo with worried face. “Are you hurt? Somewhere?” Ryo check his sister faces and then her body. Yuri who looks at Ryo behavior chuckled. Ryo who busy worry about his sister injuries stop from what he doing when heard Yuri chuckle. “What are you smiling for, sweetie?” Ryo look at his sister annoyed. “Lets get up,” Ryo helping his sister to stand up. “I’m okay Ryo. It just my butt hurts,” Yuri pouts to her brother. Ryo look at his sister unbelief. “Ne Ryo, I want go to ladies, I need to wash my dirty hand here. Can you wait for me here?” Ask Yuri. Ryo look at Yuri dirty hand because of the fall earlier. “Okay sweetie, but don’t take it to long ne, I will starve to death here if you take to long.” Ryo tease his sister. He can see how Yuri pouts before she enters to the ladies room. Ryo smile and he lean his body on the near wall not far from the ladies room waiting for his sister.
“Ewww~ my hands dirty.” Yuri mumbles while she washes her hand. “He not cares about me, but care with his starving stomach only,” Yuri whining. “Huhu… my butt’s hurts.” A few minute later she just smiles to what happen.
Due to what Kame see right now, his friend is struggling to catch one golden fish at the small pond. He curse to the owner shop because it hard for him to catch those fish. The owner guy makes a face to Ueda and tries to persuade him to catch another. Before Ueda can continue to that, Kame already stop him from waste the money on that owner. Kame drags Ueda from that shop as far as possible. “Ne Kame, why are you dragging me from that shop? I’m not catching any fish yet!” Complain Ueda. “Don’t be childish Tatchan. Let’s go… there are many shops we need to look at.” Kame pushes Ueda body forward.
After awhile, Kame sees someone that he seems recognize. “Tatchan, do you see what I see?!” Say Kame while pointing to where he looks. Ueda look at where Kame point out. “Is that Ryo?” Ueda grab Kame hand. They can see that Ryo leaning on the wall not so far from them. “How about we greet him?” suggest Kame. “Eh?! Why?!” say Ueda nervous. Kame sigh “Well, we see him first and we know him right?” said Kame dragging Ueda to meet Ryo. “Erm, okay…” Ueda just follow Kame drag him towards Ryo nervously. In meantime, he feels joy when see Ryo stand right there.
Till they close enough at Ryo stand, Kame wave his hand to Ryo. “Hey Ryo, what a coincidence to meet you here,” smile Kame. “Oh, hey…you guyz.” Ryo turn and smile at both of them surprised. Ueda is just silent stand behind Kame with a blushing face. Kame doesn’t know why Ueda need act like that right now. It’s not unusual for them to see each other. They meet at office almost everyday. “Oh hey, Tat…Ueda,” Ryo look at Ueda. “Ryo… what have I said, call me Tatchan.” Correct Ueda. He can see Ryo struggle to greet them. “Sorry Tatchan. What are you guys doing here?” said Ryo. “Well, I want to ask same question here too,” Kame smirk. “Of course we here for the festival. Can you see our outfit here?” Kame proudly shows it to Ryo. Ryo smile watch them both. “How about you?” say Ueda giggle to Kame. “Err…I…” Ryo just want to say a word but being cut by other voice. “Hey, sweetie, are you waiting for me starving until death?” a cheerful voice from Yuri came behind Ryo. Ryo startle for moment. “Oh, who is this guy here?” ask Yuri after she realize about the present of Kame and Ueda. She hugs Ryo left hand happily. Cuddling like a couple. Kame look at both and then he look at his side, he can see Ueda happy face earlier gone by looking the scene in front of him right now. Kame knew, Ueda feel shock like himself and he knew that Ueda hurts right now.
“Ah, I’m Kame and this Ueda Tatsuya my friend. We both are Ryo office mate and who are you?” Kame looks at a pretty lady beside Ryo. “Ahh, my name is Yuri. Right now I’m dating with my Ryo.” Innocently Yuri says with smile on her face. Hearing that, Ueda feel like to cry. He pull Kame sleeve. Kame knew he needs to take Ueda away from Ryo.
The situation really awkward right now and Ryo can sense it. “Ano, we want to get lunch right now, do you guys want to join us?” ask Ryo looking at Ueda. Ryo wonder why Ueda look gloomy right now. Just moment ago he looks so cute because he is blushing. Kame smile bitterly he look at Ueda, he consider it if he want to take Ryo offer or not. Looking by Ueda face Kame can sense that he needs to refuse Ryo offer. “I’m sorry we can’t…We already have one today. Thank you for your offer, Ryo.” Say Kame smiled. “Say Ryo, we need continue our date here right? Time is greedy with me you know,” Yuri whine. She already senses the awkwardness. She can see Ueda face gloomy after she came near with Ryo. “Okay, that’s fine Kame…so, meets you guys later,” say Ryo smile while looking at Ueda. He feels hurts in his chest when seeing Ueda gloomy face. He wonders why that is happen. Yuri can see Ryo sad eyes looking at Ueda. She’s wonder what happen between them. “Well, we get to go now…Kame-kun…Ueda-kun…nice to meet you.” Yuri waves her hand towards them both with smile. “See you later, bye,” Kame waves back to Ryo and Yuri. Yuri drags Ryo away from Kame and Ueda. “I have done for today, Kame… let’s go back.” Say Ueda for the first time.
“So, do you mind to tell me who they are, Ryo?” Ask Yuri after a few minutes past. From what she can see a moment ago, there is something happen with Ryo workmates and Ryo himself too. Especially with the one who call Ueda. She can see how Ueda react towards her when she stands beside Ryo. Something that’s a couple would feel about it. By looking at her brother right now, she can see the same expression as Ueda did. She wonder, is it as what she think of it? “Ne nii-chan… do you hear me?” Yuri whines while he pulls Ryo hand close to her. Ryo seem in deep thought. He looks at his sister. “Ah, as you hear from Kame-kun earlier, we are colleague at works. Which part didn’t you understand dear?” Ask Ryo smiled. He is really don’t sure anymore about his feeling and why he need this kind of thing. “Well…erm…what happen with you and Ueda-kun, really?” Yuri looks at his brother face and she can see Ryo flinch with this matter. “N-nothing…Why are you saying like that?” Is there anything happen to him and Ueda? Ryo thought. They walk out from the festival area. “It’s seemed Ueda-kun look hurts when he sees me earlier.” Explain Yuri. “Oh, maybe he shock look at a pretty lady beside me,” Ryo look at his sister. Yuri looks at Ryo unbelief. Oh my god! Why he denied it? Oh, wait! He still not aware of the situation is? Yuri sighs. She must help his denial brother to know what is really happen to them both. Now is the time. Yuri thought.
Unexpectedly, Ryo can’t sense Yuri hands on his arm anymore. He is so in deep thought. He wonder, is she not satisfied with his answer? Ryo turn around and look at his sister. He can see Yuri lay down on the street. Ryo rush to his sister side. “Yuri!” shout Ryo worried. He can see Yuri face pale, is like there is no blood on his body. Ryo is panic. He carries Yuri body and run to the car. He needs to take her back to hospital. Fast! Everybody a long side the street look at Ryo wonders.
“You can’t do this, Tatchan…You torture yourself and it makes me sad,” said Kame looking at Ueda gloomy after they got back from the festival. “I will tell Ryo about your feeling if you hesitate to do so.” Force Kame. “No! Kame! I don’t want you to do that just because of me,” Ueda voice slow. “Then, tell him that you love him!” Kame just can’t stand his friend sufferers anymore. “No, Kame! Don’t you hear what that lady say, she was dating with Ryo…they are together. So, I don’t want to ruins that or I will lose Ryo completely.” Ueda sob in the end of his words. Tears start to fall. Kame feels sorry for Ueda. He hopes that he can do something for his friend.
At the hospital, the emergency room seems busy with patient. The first steps Ryo enter the emergency room, the nurse and doctor hurry to save a life. Ryo looks how his sister being takes away to emergency room. There is nurse stop him from follow his sister. “Sir, you need to wait here. We will inform you later.” Say the nurse and she enter the emergency room where Yuri take in. Right now he needs to wait his sister at outside the white room alone with his mix feeling. Oh God! Please save her. I’ll do anything just to make her life better. I can’t accept to loss her right now. Ryo swear.
At along time, this is the longest hour for Ryo waiting for someone. He looks so depress. He can’t seat properly on his bench. Suddenly, the door opens. Ryo can see doctor came out from the emergency room sweating. He runs towards doctor immediately when he sees it. “Doctor, how is my sister? Is she alright?” ask Ryo worried. “Calm down… Nishikido-kun, right?” Ryo nods. “Right now, your sister survives from this operation.” Ryo feel relief to hear the news. “But…” the doctor continues. “She got one week to leave. I’m sorry. This is the best way I can do.” The doctor pad Ryo shoulder slowly. Ryo’s frail down on the floor. He can’t believe what he just hear about his sister condition. “You can see her about an hour later.” Said the doctor and leave Ryo alone in front the emergency room. After the doctor left, Ryo tears fall down. Why is this happen? Ryo walk slowly to his sister room. Quietly he steps closer to his sister bad. She looks so calm in her sleep right now. Ryo seat beside her and hold her hand softly. A few minute later Ryo feel sleepy. He feels so tired and he lean his head on the bed where his sister lay down.
Lights from the window make Ueda wince on his bad. He seat on his bed and look around with sleepy feeling. He had a bad dream and it was so real to him. He look at his watch and he already late for work. He hurry to take bath and to dress him, fast breakfast he can make is toaster bread. He arrives to his office a little bit late and Kame saw him. “You are late, Tatchan!” Kame walks beside Ueda. “Hi, morning Kame-kun.” Ueda ignore him. He put his coat aside and he gets his files on the table and he starts his work. Kame whose look at Ueda make a sigh face. “Kame, tomorrow we have meeting for our new project right? Was the file ready?” Ueda look at Kame from his desk. “I’m not sure… because is not me who prepare for those file,” Kame think hard and suddenly his face change. He look hesitate to tell the next. “Erm… I think you handed this job to Ryo. I think he already finish it by today. Why don’t you ask him?” Say Kame as he waits for Ueda responds. “Okay, thank you Kame for the info,” Ueda continue his work as usual.
While Kame look so worried with his friend behavior. Last time Ueda was a poor person he has seen, but today is different story. He wants to ask Ueda about it, but he afraid that Ueda will hurt again. So Kame just kept the silent for what happen. He will ask about it later, that what Kame thought. “Kame, have you seen Ryo? I need to take a look for last time to the file. I need to prepare for tomorrow.” Ask Ueda to Kame. “Ah, I got massage earlier from Ryo, he said he will come after lunch.” Say Kame. “Ah, okay then…seem we go lunch together today, right Kame?” Ueda smile at his friend and he continue with his work.
At the hospital, Ryo feel someone touch his head slowly. He looks at the person. He can see his sister look at him with a smile. “Morning sweetie… How are you? Get enough sleep?” say Ryo while his hand cares Yuri face. Yuri just nods to him slowly. “Do you need water for drink?” Ask Ryo without get any answer from his sister, he get the water at the corner of the room and hand it to his sister. Yuri gets up slowly and takes a sip from the glass that Ryo give her. After a few minute, she can get little energy to say something. She looks at Ryo smiley. “Ne…Ryo-nii… You are not working today?” say Yuri. “It’s okay…I have time until lunch time to get work.” Ryo seat next to his sister bed. He holds his sister hand.
“Yuri…” Ryo has no words to say to his sister. He still shock with the news he heard from the doctor yesterday. He looks at his sister. He try the best way to make his sister life till the last day full with cheers. He wants to spend more time with his sister. He must be strong than her to make that happen. “How about I bring you somewhere tomorrow? It must be nice.” Say Ryo slowly walks to the window. The sky cloudy, a sign rain will fall today. Ryo feel the same as the weather shown. Gloomy and sad… but he must hold that feeling not showing to his sister. “Okay, our date not ending perfectly the other day. So this time I want make it right…a new cloth?” Yuri grins to Ryo. “Your wish,” Ryo smile to what his sister said. This time he wills not complaint to what his sister wants to do. He will try to make it happen possibly.
Soft copy, check…Working paper, check…speech for presentation, check...Seem all the preparation for tomorrow meeting he has done, Ryo thought. He smiles to what he has done. “What are you smiling, Ryo. Is there something funny happen?” Ryo turn over in little bit shock. He can see Ueda stand at his desk with some file on his hand. “Oh, it’s nothing.” Ryo blushed. “I just checking my work.” Explain Ryo. “Ah, I just want to ask you about it. Have you done with it?” say Ueda. “Yeah, I’m just finishing it a few minute ago.” Ryo hands over his work to Ueda. Ueda look at Ryo work and he satisfies. “Ryo, I want ask you about celebrating tomorrow. I know the meetings will success. And I invite all staff to join too. Will you come? It must be fun.” asked Ueda exited. Ryo look at Ueda for a couple second. He smiles “I’m sorry Tatchan. I have something to do tomorrow.” Say Ryo slow. Ryo can see Ueda smile gone from his cute face. That feeling come again. He doesn’t know why, but while looking at Ueda sad face really makes him hurt. “I’m sorry. I’ll treat you another time. Okay?” Ryo try to persuade Ueda and he not even knows why he needs to persuade him. “It’s alright Ryo. No need to apologize. I understand.” But you not understand me, Ryo. Why? Ueda smile back to Ryo and is not a dream. “Then I should go back to my work. See you later.” And Ryo walk away from Ueda side. Kame sees the two from the far. He knows that Ueda hurts again. He needs to do something without Ueda knowing. He must help his friend before it getting bad.

Ryo stand up from his sit and ready to walk, but suddenly Ryo stop and look back to Ueda. “Ano, next time…I buy you some coffee…for the lost cup today.” Nervous feeling appear inside him. Nande? “It fine with me. But for today, that my fault for daydream,” Ueda smile at Ryo. He not want Ryo feel guilty for today incident. He is just great full to see Ryo personally today.
Dose him dreaming…he is Ryo who talking with Ueda Tatsuya? Why he is so bother with it? Before this he makes a cold presence in front Ueda. He is just assistance at Ueda department. He just does work that he asks to do clean and smart. Well, the job as an entrepreneur… there is a lot of thing to do. Lot of work but the salary is too great for support his life. He needs to pay hospital bill for operation. Not for him but for his lovely sister, Yuri. She has a heart disease since her 8 years old. She is cheerful girl in to Ryo eyes. There is no one beside her to make Ryo happy. His parents died in car accident when Yuri is 10 years old. She got difficulties to accept it. For that, she has hospitalized for one year with machine support. That makes Ryo sad, to see her in that condition. He tries to be a good brother and parents to his sister. Ryo was not leave as other boys at his young age dose do and have. He tries hard to save and leave with his sister and make her happy. He put aside his needs for his sister sake. There is no one in his life, there’s only for his sister.
On the other hand, Ueda smile all along back home. He feels so happy. He meets a person he loves privately. First time he meets Ryo was in the lobby of his office building. On that time, he was late to attend a meeting. He rushes on the elevator…unlucky for him, Tatsuya stumble down. His things drop on the floor. At that messy moment, someone give a hand for help him. That person is Nishikido Ryo. That was the first sight of Ryo that makes him fall in love. After that, he knew that Ryo will work at his department under his line. Ueda was so happy with the news. He always gives any job to Ryo that related to him directly. That gives an advantage for him. He can see Ryo everyday. In weeks after, he can tell that Ryo is a person who smart at work and shy at the same time. That makes Ueda love of him grown more. The problem is, he not really open up to other people easily. That makes Ueda hardly to tell his feeling to Ryo. He might hurt the others or scared him. He was afraid that Ryo will leave him and that what the last thing he afraid off… so Ueda decide to get close with Ryo. Those are enough for him rather then not see Ryo. But today, is a different scenario of him with Ryo. Together at the park and more importantly, Ryo asked him for another meeting with him. Only the two of us…not for works…it just for hang out or he can call himself as a first date with Ryo. Ueda build a hope with smile on his faces. He blushes more.
Recline on the white bed and accompany with a machine that monitor her life. Yuri gets up and goes closer to looks out of window. She can see her brother coming at the ground floor. Almost every day her brother will visit. She so bless to have brother like Ryo. He sacrifices his life just to make sure she gets the best from her life and to be healthy again. Ryo will come with smile full on his face. He will accompany her when he had a time from work. She know that her brother love her so much. But she knows that her brother is suffering of what happen into their family. She doesn’t have any hope in future life, that for sure, but for his brother, she hopes that he will cherish his life more. When she not in his side anymore. Yuri looks up at the sky. Today is so windy. There is a group of bird fly at the sky freely. She smiles.
Yuri goes seat back to her bed. She laid back and wait for her lovely brother came in. She wish for his last time in her life is to make her brother happier. The last task he needs to make it happen. She swears. There is knock on the door and the door slide open slowly. Ryo appear as always with smile on his face. “Hey sweetie, how are you doing? Did the guy next door still give you red petals?” Ryo came near to the bed. “Hi Ryo, I still in the hospital am I? And yes he still busy to find the fresh petals for me tomorrow,” Yuri make a face. Ryo stiff for few second, then he smile. “Sorry, have you taken your medicine?” concern Ryo. He looks at his sister. She still pretty as before she enter the hospital. She looks so liveliness…cheerfulness appear on her face. “Ne Ryo-nii, can we go out dating today? It’s being a while I’m not going for walk with you. Furthermore, my body feels numb already and I want away from hospital zone. Please?” Say Yuri ignore Ryo question. She just wants to distract herself from her sickness. Ryo understand that too. “Well, that is why I came here today. I got day off just for my precious lady here and I’ve already got permission from doctor for your leave. Where did you want to go today? It’s my treat.” Ryo smile with his sister request. “Let’s go for shopping first. I don’t want to ware old fashion dress when dating with you today,” she grins. “Yeah such a spoil little sister,” say Ryo while he prepare for his sister to get out for their ‘dating’.
One hour. It about one hour Ueda waiting for someone who accompanies him today at festival and that person really make him buys seven cup of coffee today. Suddenly he eyes catch a figure that he knew. “In here…Kame!” Ueda wave his hand to that person. It is his best friend Kamenashi Kazuya. “Why so late?” ask Ueda when Kame came to near him. “Shhh, don’t call me like that out loud. Sorry I’m late. Something came out that I need to settle it down first.” Kame explains. “Well seem you were here, your sorry is accepted, should we start moving?” say Ueda cheerfully. They walk together to the festival.
Lot of people is on the festival. The surrounding is so colorful. Ueda and Kame enjoy the event. They have fun playing hitting penguin head and catching fish. Then they watch mini soap opera mostly about fairy tales. In the end on the festival they buy a food and drink to fill their hungry stomach. Both of them look so happy and enjoy the event. They find a place little bit far from the crowd for eat. They both seat under the big tree and enjoy the view.
“Oh, today is really fun to go here. Thank you for accompany me today Kame,” say Ueda while eating his muffin. “Emm…I enjoyed too.” Kame looks at his cheerful friend. It has being long to see that face so cheerful. “You seem happy, is there something happen lately?” ask Kame carefully. He look at Ueda who now humming when eating his vanilla muffin, Ueda favorites. In this few months Ueda look so stress with his works. Kame knew that Ueda is in love with their co-worker Nishikido Ryo for so long. And Kame knew that Ueda hold his feeling because he afraid of rejection. That makes Ueda look weird when he smile to everyone at their office especially when it comes to Nishikido Ryo. Kame doesn’t really know Ryo personally but to make Ueda like that miserable really make him in anger. Not just Ryo but everybody who make his friend in depress really make him anger. It has being long that Ueda in miserable way and Kame blame for that to Ryo because make his friend so miserable. But today it seems so different. Ueda look so cheerful and bright. He wonders what make his friend bloom like Sakura flowers. Pretty and cute, that what Kame thought by see Ueda face. Kame smile looking for his friend behavior. “Last week, I meet Ryo at the park, alone,” Ueda look at Kame. He continues “We seat together and we seat so close. I can feel his warm body and I can smell his cologne sweetly.” Ueda smile wider, “and you know Kame, he ask me for a date…erm, well not exactly but I will call it like that.” Kame can see Ueda blush face when say it out loud. “Why he ask you out?” Ask Kame curious. “Well, on that day I resting on the park with a cup of coffee, while I enjoying the coffee someone approach me suddenly and I was shock and my coffee fall from my hands. That person is Ryo.” Ueda hands grab his drink and Kame wait for him to finish his story. “So, because of that he wants to repay me for the coffee.” Ueda sip his drink after finish his story. “That can’t be call a date Tatchan. He just wants to repay for the coffee.” Tell Kame. “No…for me it is. This is the only chance I can be with him alone together and importantly it not about works.” Say Ueda firmly. “Tatchan don’t give much of hope, it will hurt you later on. I don’t want to see you in that state. It makes me feel hurt too.” Explain Kame. “It’s okay Kame, I’m sure it will be fine,” Ueda pads Kame shoulder with smile on his face. Kame just nods with his friend happiness. “Let’s go, there is lot of fun in the festival waiting for us,” Ueda pull Kame sleeve. They both go back to the festival.
Vicinity on the Willow Street is really peaceful. Not many people shopping in this windy weather. But it is the best time for Ryo. In front of him right now, he can see a beautiful young lady with shining face smile widely choosing a new cloth for her. He hopes that picture in front of him right now will remain forever. Ryo smile silently. He came near to the lady. “Have you finished? You need to date someone in here?” say Ryo. “Okay, this is the last one, do you like it?” cheer voice can hear from her. “Yuri?!!” Ryo walk away from her slowly. “Fine! Can you be a romantic person for a moment?” she pouts. In Ryo eyes she looks beautiful when she sulk. “Yeah, whatever…you are so pretty without those close too,” Ryo persuade her. “Or you only used your charm brother here for you to buy this all stuff?” Ryo love to tease his sister. Yuri just ignores Ryo and goes to the counter with a cloth that she chooses. “Here, that charm person there will pay for it,” Yuri gifts her cloth to the salesgirl and walks out from the shop and waits for Ryo outside. Ryo just smile with his sister behavior. He pays for the cloth and walk near to his sister. “Here my lady, your cloth? Shall we go?” Ryo give the bag to his sister with two hands and half bow when he handed the bag to her. “Thank you,” she grab the bag and start to leave Ryo but she stop and look at her brother for moment then she take Ryo hand and they walk together.
“Eh, look there Ryo…There is festival happen. Let’s go there,” Yuri drag Ryo to where she mention. “It’s must be fun.” She looks so excited and Ryo just follow his sister without complaint. There is lot of shop, balloon shop, mask shop, meat ball shop, cake shop, ice cream shop, brooch shop, mini game shop, flower shop, and to many shop that so colorful on the festival. “Yuri, don’t go too far from me okay. I don’t want you lost here and it will be tiresome to find you if you lost.” Say Ryo to his cheerful sister. “You know Ryo, you have killed the fun here, now I want to go back. It’s not fun walk with so protected brother here.” Yuri make face. Here there is go again, she childish act. Ryo smile at that. Yuri walks in front of Ryo. She not walked beside Ryo like before. Ryo just walk slowly watching his sister from behind.
Unfortunately for Yuri, after a few stall they past, there is someone hits her body unexpectedly. With that, Yuri falls to the ground. It feels hurts. Ryo who look from behind look shocked. He runs to his sister. “Yuri, how are you? Are you okay?” asked Ryo with worried face. “Are you hurt? Somewhere?” Ryo check his sister faces and then her body. Yuri who looks at Ryo behavior chuckled. Ryo who busy worry about his sister injuries stop from what he doing when heard Yuri chuckle. “What are you smiling for, sweetie?” Ryo look at his sister annoyed. “Lets get up,” Ryo helping his sister to stand up. “I’m okay Ryo. It just my butt hurts,” Yuri pouts to her brother. Ryo look at his sister unbelief. “Ne Ryo, I want go to ladies, I need to wash my dirty hand here. Can you wait for me here?” Ask Yuri. Ryo look at Yuri dirty hand because of the fall earlier. “Okay sweetie, but don’t take it to long ne, I will starve to death here if you take to long.” Ryo tease his sister. He can see how Yuri pouts before she enters to the ladies room. Ryo smile and he lean his body on the near wall not far from the ladies room waiting for his sister.
“Ewww~ my hands dirty.” Yuri mumbles while she washes her hand. “He not cares about me, but care with his starving stomach only,” Yuri whining. “Huhu… my butt’s hurts.” A few minute later she just smiles to what happen.
Due to what Kame see right now, his friend is struggling to catch one golden fish at the small pond. He curse to the owner shop because it hard for him to catch those fish. The owner guy makes a face to Ueda and tries to persuade him to catch another. Before Ueda can continue to that, Kame already stop him from waste the money on that owner. Kame drags Ueda from that shop as far as possible. “Ne Kame, why are you dragging me from that shop? I’m not catching any fish yet!” Complain Ueda. “Don’t be childish Tatchan. Let’s go… there are many shops we need to look at.” Kame pushes Ueda body forward.
After awhile, Kame sees someone that he seems recognize. “Tatchan, do you see what I see?!” Say Kame while pointing to where he looks. Ueda look at where Kame point out. “Is that Ryo?” Ueda grab Kame hand. They can see that Ryo leaning on the wall not so far from them. “How about we greet him?” suggest Kame. “Eh?! Why?!” say Ueda nervous. Kame sigh “Well, we see him first and we know him right?” said Kame dragging Ueda to meet Ryo. “Erm, okay…” Ueda just follow Kame drag him towards Ryo nervously. In meantime, he feels joy when see Ryo stand right there.
Till they close enough at Ryo stand, Kame wave his hand to Ryo. “Hey Ryo, what a coincidence to meet you here,” smile Kame. “Oh, hey…you guyz.” Ryo turn and smile at both of them surprised. Ueda is just silent stand behind Kame with a blushing face. Kame doesn’t know why Ueda need act like that right now. It’s not unusual for them to see each other. They meet at office almost everyday. “Oh hey, Tat…Ueda,” Ryo look at Ueda. “Ryo… what have I said, call me Tatchan.” Correct Ueda. He can see Ryo struggle to greet them. “Sorry Tatchan. What are you guys doing here?” said Ryo. “Well, I want to ask same question here too,” Kame smirk. “Of course we here for the festival. Can you see our outfit here?” Kame proudly shows it to Ryo. Ryo smile watch them both. “How about you?” say Ueda giggle to Kame. “Err…I…” Ryo just want to say a word but being cut by other voice. “Hey, sweetie, are you waiting for me starving until death?” a cheerful voice from Yuri came behind Ryo. Ryo startle for moment. “Oh, who is this guy here?” ask Yuri after she realize about the present of Kame and Ueda. She hugs Ryo left hand happily. Cuddling like a couple. Kame look at both and then he look at his side, he can see Ueda happy face earlier gone by looking the scene in front of him right now. Kame knew, Ueda feel shock like himself and he knew that Ueda hurts right now.
“Ah, I’m Kame and this Ueda Tatsuya my friend. We both are Ryo office mate and who are you?” Kame looks at a pretty lady beside Ryo. “Ahh, my name is Yuri. Right now I’m dating with my Ryo.” Innocently Yuri says with smile on her face. Hearing that, Ueda feel like to cry. He pull Kame sleeve. Kame knew he needs to take Ueda away from Ryo.
The situation really awkward right now and Ryo can sense it. “Ano, we want to get lunch right now, do you guys want to join us?” ask Ryo looking at Ueda. Ryo wonder why Ueda look gloomy right now. Just moment ago he looks so cute because he is blushing. Kame smile bitterly he look at Ueda, he consider it if he want to take Ryo offer or not. Looking by Ueda face Kame can sense that he needs to refuse Ryo offer. “I’m sorry we can’t…We already have one today. Thank you for your offer, Ryo.” Say Kame smiled. “Say Ryo, we need continue our date here right? Time is greedy with me you know,” Yuri whine. She already senses the awkwardness. She can see Ueda face gloomy after she came near with Ryo. “Okay, that’s fine Kame…so, meets you guys later,” say Ryo smile while looking at Ueda. He feels hurts in his chest when seeing Ueda gloomy face. He wonders why that is happen. Yuri can see Ryo sad eyes looking at Ueda. She’s wonder what happen between them. “Well, we get to go now…Kame-kun…Ueda-kun…nice to meet you.” Yuri waves her hand towards them both with smile. “See you later, bye,” Kame waves back to Ryo and Yuri. Yuri drags Ryo away from Kame and Ueda. “I have done for today, Kame… let’s go back.” Say Ueda for the first time.
“So, do you mind to tell me who they are, Ryo?” Ask Yuri after a few minutes past. From what she can see a moment ago, there is something happen with Ryo workmates and Ryo himself too. Especially with the one who call Ueda. She can see how Ueda react towards her when she stands beside Ryo. Something that’s a couple would feel about it. By looking at her brother right now, she can see the same expression as Ueda did. She wonder, is it as what she think of it? “Ne nii-chan… do you hear me?” Yuri whines while he pulls Ryo hand close to her. Ryo seem in deep thought. He looks at his sister. “Ah, as you hear from Kame-kun earlier, we are colleague at works. Which part didn’t you understand dear?” Ask Ryo smiled. He is really don’t sure anymore about his feeling and why he need this kind of thing. “Well…erm…what happen with you and Ueda-kun, really?” Yuri looks at his brother face and she can see Ryo flinch with this matter. “N-nothing…Why are you saying like that?” Is there anything happen to him and Ueda? Ryo thought. They walk out from the festival area. “It’s seemed Ueda-kun look hurts when he sees me earlier.” Explain Yuri. “Oh, maybe he shock look at a pretty lady beside me,” Ryo look at his sister. Yuri looks at Ryo unbelief. Oh my god! Why he denied it? Oh, wait! He still not aware of the situation is? Yuri sighs. She must help his denial brother to know what is really happen to them both. Now is the time. Yuri thought.
Unexpectedly, Ryo can’t sense Yuri hands on his arm anymore. He is so in deep thought. He wonder, is she not satisfied with his answer? Ryo turn around and look at his sister. He can see Yuri lay down on the street. Ryo rush to his sister side. “Yuri!” shout Ryo worried. He can see Yuri face pale, is like there is no blood on his body. Ryo is panic. He carries Yuri body and run to the car. He needs to take her back to hospital. Fast! Everybody a long side the street look at Ryo wonders.
“You can’t do this, Tatchan…You torture yourself and it makes me sad,” said Kame looking at Ueda gloomy after they got back from the festival. “I will tell Ryo about your feeling if you hesitate to do so.” Force Kame. “No! Kame! I don’t want you to do that just because of me,” Ueda voice slow. “Then, tell him that you love him!” Kame just can’t stand his friend sufferers anymore. “No, Kame! Don’t you hear what that lady say, she was dating with Ryo…they are together. So, I don’t want to ruins that or I will lose Ryo completely.” Ueda sob in the end of his words. Tears start to fall. Kame feels sorry for Ueda. He hopes that he can do something for his friend.
At the hospital, the emergency room seems busy with patient. The first steps Ryo enter the emergency room, the nurse and doctor hurry to save a life. Ryo looks how his sister being takes away to emergency room. There is nurse stop him from follow his sister. “Sir, you need to wait here. We will inform you later.” Say the nurse and she enter the emergency room where Yuri take in. Right now he needs to wait his sister at outside the white room alone with his mix feeling. Oh God! Please save her. I’ll do anything just to make her life better. I can’t accept to loss her right now. Ryo swear.
At along time, this is the longest hour for Ryo waiting for someone. He looks so depress. He can’t seat properly on his bench. Suddenly, the door opens. Ryo can see doctor came out from the emergency room sweating. He runs towards doctor immediately when he sees it. “Doctor, how is my sister? Is she alright?” ask Ryo worried. “Calm down… Nishikido-kun, right?” Ryo nods. “Right now, your sister survives from this operation.” Ryo feel relief to hear the news. “But…” the doctor continues. “She got one week to leave. I’m sorry. This is the best way I can do.” The doctor pad Ryo shoulder slowly. Ryo’s frail down on the floor. He can’t believe what he just hear about his sister condition. “You can see her about an hour later.” Said the doctor and leave Ryo alone in front the emergency room. After the doctor left, Ryo tears fall down. Why is this happen? Ryo walk slowly to his sister room. Quietly he steps closer to his sister bad. She looks so calm in her sleep right now. Ryo seat beside her and hold her hand softly. A few minute later Ryo feel sleepy. He feels so tired and he lean his head on the bed where his sister lay down.
Lights from the window make Ueda wince on his bad. He seat on his bed and look around with sleepy feeling. He had a bad dream and it was so real to him. He look at his watch and he already late for work. He hurry to take bath and to dress him, fast breakfast he can make is toaster bread. He arrives to his office a little bit late and Kame saw him. “You are late, Tatchan!” Kame walks beside Ueda. “Hi, morning Kame-kun.” Ueda ignore him. He put his coat aside and he gets his files on the table and he starts his work. Kame whose look at Ueda make a sigh face. “Kame, tomorrow we have meeting for our new project right? Was the file ready?” Ueda look at Kame from his desk. “I’m not sure… because is not me who prepare for those file,” Kame think hard and suddenly his face change. He look hesitate to tell the next. “Erm… I think you handed this job to Ryo. I think he already finish it by today. Why don’t you ask him?” Say Kame as he waits for Ueda responds. “Okay, thank you Kame for the info,” Ueda continue his work as usual.
While Kame look so worried with his friend behavior. Last time Ueda was a poor person he has seen, but today is different story. He wants to ask Ueda about it, but he afraid that Ueda will hurt again. So Kame just kept the silent for what happen. He will ask about it later, that what Kame thought. “Kame, have you seen Ryo? I need to take a look for last time to the file. I need to prepare for tomorrow.” Ask Ueda to Kame. “Ah, I got massage earlier from Ryo, he said he will come after lunch.” Say Kame. “Ah, okay then…seem we go lunch together today, right Kame?” Ueda smile at his friend and he continue with his work.
At the hospital, Ryo feel someone touch his head slowly. He looks at the person. He can see his sister look at him with a smile. “Morning sweetie… How are you? Get enough sleep?” say Ryo while his hand cares Yuri face. Yuri just nods to him slowly. “Do you need water for drink?” Ask Ryo without get any answer from his sister, he get the water at the corner of the room and hand it to his sister. Yuri gets up slowly and takes a sip from the glass that Ryo give her. After a few minute, she can get little energy to say something. She looks at Ryo smiley. “Ne…Ryo-nii… You are not working today?” say Yuri. “It’s okay…I have time until lunch time to get work.” Ryo seat next to his sister bed. He holds his sister hand.
“Yuri…” Ryo has no words to say to his sister. He still shock with the news he heard from the doctor yesterday. He looks at his sister. He try the best way to make his sister life till the last day full with cheers. He wants to spend more time with his sister. He must be strong than her to make that happen. “How about I bring you somewhere tomorrow? It must be nice.” Say Ryo slowly walks to the window. The sky cloudy, a sign rain will fall today. Ryo feel the same as the weather shown. Gloomy and sad… but he must hold that feeling not showing to his sister. “Okay, our date not ending perfectly the other day. So this time I want make it right…a new cloth?” Yuri grins to Ryo. “Your wish,” Ryo smile to what his sister said. This time he wills not complaint to what his sister wants to do. He will try to make it happen possibly.
Soft copy, check…Working paper, check…speech for presentation, check...Seem all the preparation for tomorrow meeting he has done, Ryo thought. He smiles to what he has done. “What are you smiling, Ryo. Is there something funny happen?” Ryo turn over in little bit shock. He can see Ueda stand at his desk with some file on his hand. “Oh, it’s nothing.” Ryo blushed. “I just checking my work.” Explain Ryo. “Ah, I just want to ask you about it. Have you done with it?” say Ueda. “Yeah, I’m just finishing it a few minute ago.” Ryo hands over his work to Ueda. Ueda look at Ryo work and he satisfies. “Ryo, I want ask you about celebrating tomorrow. I know the meetings will success. And I invite all staff to join too. Will you come? It must be fun.” asked Ueda exited. Ryo look at Ueda for a couple second. He smiles “I’m sorry Tatchan. I have something to do tomorrow.” Say Ryo slow. Ryo can see Ueda smile gone from his cute face. That feeling come again. He doesn’t know why, but while looking at Ueda sad face really makes him hurt. “I’m sorry. I’ll treat you another time. Okay?” Ryo try to persuade Ueda and he not even knows why he needs to persuade him. “It’s alright Ryo. No need to apologize. I understand.” But you not understand me, Ryo. Why? Ueda smile back to Ryo and is not a dream. “Then I should go back to my work. See you later.” And Ryo walk away from Ueda side. Kame sees the two from the far. He knows that Ueda hurts again. He needs to do something without Ueda knowing. He must help his friend before it getting bad.
