Author’s Notes: The italized words are the lyrics from the song.
WHAT?! Breaking up?! Lies. Why would he be sad at a time like this? Isn’t he happy that I’m not annoying him anymore? Even so, maybe Yamada did something to him, and I’m the only me who he can talk to. Wow, after a long time of torture, I’ going to talk to him again, face to face.
Why at the park? That place would just bring bittersweet memories of the first time we said that we like each other. And then Chinen’s yes brightened, glad to know that I have the same feelings. So many things happened on that place; the best date, our Christmas and New Year spent together, helping each other in homework, or just chilling around. We also had our first kiss there…
I’d seriously ask him why; remembering these things will just makes me cry.
-----------------
And I can’t believe he’s sitting on the exact bench when everything happened. Is he trying to mentally and emotionally destroy me?
I sat beside him but making sure to keep a fair distance. But then he scooted next to me. There was a minute of silence, our eyes in opposite directions. It’s like we’re two strangers who coincidentally sat in the same bench. I continued to look down, waiting for him to speak up first. It seems that Chinen has the same idea, so the both of us would endure this agonizing silence.
Then all of the sudden, I felt his arms slowly wrapping on my waist. What the hell is he doing? And what is this feeling in my chest? It’s like I’m scared, yet I’m happy. Chinen laid his head on my shoulders, his arms still in a hugging position. How I miss this sweet melting feeling inside…
Hello, love. It’s been a while since I felt you.
When violet get brighter,
And heavy wings grow lighter,
I’ll taste the sky and feel alive again.
I was about to kiss him when I remembered Yamada. I can’t do this if they’re together! I removed Chinen's arms and slightly pushed him away to have some space between us. I can’t keep up in this game anymore. “So, what do you want to tell me?”
Chinen didn’t answer right away. Instead he also asked, “Why didn’t you kiss me?”
What kind of question is that? “Well, we’re not together anymore; and I have a feeling that you and Yamada were…you know.” Stupid.
“Didn’t Inoo tell you…?”
“Yes. But I know what I saw, Chinen. Don’t make me believe easily just by telling me.”
He sighed, “I know.”
“Then why…?”
He smiled, “Nothing. I was just thinking if I could fool you. Just for fun.”
Even though he’s smiling, I can see in his eyes tat something’s troubling him. “Seriously, what’s the deal here?”
“I’m serious. There’s nothing between me and Yamada.”
“Okay, I’ll believe you. But I know you still hadn’t tell me about…something…”
Chinen smiled again, and this time I know he’s not faking it. He moved closer again and leaned against me. I placed my arm around his shoulder o make the atmosphere much more comfortable.
“I…still like you, Dai-chan.” He almost stuttered at a hushed tune. It’s as if it’s the beginning all over again, saying his feelings for the first time.
Huh? “I don’t get it. Why…?”
“I already told you. You’re too annoying. It was cute for the first tie, but it was too much. Like I said, I don’t want another burden.”
What? He’s really not making any sense. He still likes me, bit I’m disturbing his life. I kept my silence, since I don’t want to hurt him just like the old days.
“I’m sorry for being immature. I want us to be back where we were before. I just don’t want to lose you.” - Delca
It looks like he wanted a reply. I simply smiled.
“That’s it?” Chinen asked, surprised.
I raised an eyebrow, “What else do you want? You already got rid of me, you have Yamada, you must be very happy in your life right now. What else?!” I can’t help myself but to raise my voice a bit.
Chinen’s beginning to cry again.
The hell with this! I’m making him cry even if we’re not together anymore?! But what I didn’t notice is that, even I’m crying. The tears cooled down my angry cheeks.
I quickly rubbed my eyes, so that Chinen won’t see me as a weakling. I saw that he’s doing the same thing. We stopped and looked at each other’s eyes, then smiled.
“Why don’t you want us to be together again?” I asked.
His smile changed, “Do I have to repeat myself a million times?”
Yes, I now. I’m a big distraction, blah blah blah. I know what I heard, but I see something else. It’s like he really wants to fix this broken relationship. He really isn’t lying when he said he still likes me.
I’m still confused up to now, but whatever he wants I respect. I opened my arms and said, “How about a goodbye hug?” I don’t care of someone sees us, all I want is to be with him for the very last time, knowing that he will be happy in the future.
Chinen didn’t hesitate; he immediately leaned forward and wrapped his arms tight around me. I did the same. Did he got thinner? Or I’m just holding him too tight? I wouldn’t care anyway, this is going to b the last time I’ll b this close to him, to hold him, to feel his presence and his alone.
He whispered, “I’m sorry.”
And I’ll forget the world that I knew,
But swear I won’t forget you,
Oh if my voice could reach back to the past,
I’d whisper in your ear,
“Oh darling, I wish you were here.”
