" Send my feelings
Through the breath
Longing for you
In the pouring rain "
Osaka, 7 years ago
6 o'clock. She couldn't be late to be there. Better took a bath quickly. Andini got ready to go to the party to meet Hasigawa's invitation. Tonight she chose to wear a dress that was not too long. Only half of her calf. Her favorite color, ivory. The sleeveless dress, with a V-neck without buttons, only tied on the side like a kimono. She put on light make up. Only used powder, blush on, eye liner, mascara and soft dusty pink lipstick. It suited with her personality. Andini didn't like anything flashy. She groomed herself in front of the mirror. Sprayed a little bit perfume with a rose scent. She brushed her hair that was longer than her shoulders, she let it loose. She had medium long, thick, black and wavy hair.
Perfect. Then she hurried out of her hotel and ordered a taxi.
Andini arrived on time. As soon as she entered the entrance door, she was immediately greeted by Mr. Hasigawa's assistant. They entered the venue. There were many people who were invited. It seemed that most of his colleagues were from Hasigawa himself, and some from the Indonesian Embassy and the Japanese Cultural Center. Also several models involved in this work.
Andini approached Mr. Hasigawa who was talking with some of his colleagues.
He smiled at the sight of Andini, and said, "Thank you for coming, Ms Andini. How beautiful you are tonight."
Then Mr. Hasigawa introduced Andini to some of his colleagues. There are three of them.
"I am Sonata Andini from Indonesia. Nice to meet you all." Then bowed.
Andini greeted them one by one. They introduced themselves.
" I am Tsukushima Shota. I wish you a pleasure working with us."
" I am Takano Miyamura. Nice to meet you, Ms. Andini."
" Welcome to Japan, Ms. Sonata Andini. Nice to meet you. I am Masaki Ichiro."
" This last person has a figure unlike most of Japanese in general. He's so tall. Approximately 190 cm. If I'm not mistaken. And he's so handsome. " thought Andini.
Mr. Miyamura and Mr. Tsukushima were only about 170 cm.
Then Andini excused herself to meet some people from the Indonesian Embassy. She immediately met them. And talked to them about this work and its continuation.
This party event was lively and long enough. Andini felt full and drank a little too much. But because she was happy she didn't try to go home. At that moment her full attention was on this party. Enjoyed meeting new people, new places and having fun.
Andini did not realize that someone was bad enough to put something in her glass, and poured the wine into the glass. And she drank it without hesitation.
She did not realize and was not careful that bad people were everywhere.
She never realized how beautiful she was so sometimes people often wanted her for them. Andini was too innocent and naive.
And at the same time she did not realize someone watching her from a far to save her.
It was almost midnight when the party was over. And people started to leave. Andini wanted to say goodbye to Mr. Hasigawa and others, but her head was getting a little heavy. Then she waved her hand at Mr. Hasigawa and he and Mr. Masaki Ichiro approached Andini.
"Thank you for coming, Ms. Andini. We will take you back to the hotel. Mr. Masaki Ichiro will drive you back to the hotel," said Mr. Hasigawa.
"Oh, thank you, Hasigawa san. Don't bother, I'll take a taxi." Andini replied.
But Mr. Masaki Ichiro immediately replied,
"I will drive you to the hotel safely. Looks like you drank too much tonight, Ms. Sonata Andini. We don't want anything to happen to you. Your safety is our responsibility. Come on .."
She helped Andini up and said goodbye to Mr. Hasigawa.
At the same time she felt something strange happen to her. It was as if she was filled with a strange desire that she had never felt before. Her body felt hot and she staggered. She almost stumbled. Fortunately Mr. Masaki quickly grabbed her and carried her out of the place.
Along the way out, several people smiled and greeted Mr. Masaki while smiling seductively. But Mr. Masaki Ichiro responded with a calm smile.
"She drank too much tonight," explained Mr. Masaki Ichiro.
That's it. Several people in the elevator smiled as they glanced at them. And Andini knew that.
" Who cares what people say at a time like this? What I need is to lie down on bed and quickly go to sleep to ward off this strange feeling. I will be fine!" she said to herself.
Later, she realized that she's not really fine. She was in a big trouble.
During their way back to the hotel, Mr. Masaki tried to get her to talk about anything. But Andini only answered modestly. She felt very uncomfortable with the state she was in at the moment. Sweat poured down her forehead and body.
She asked herself, "What's wrong with me? What happened to me?"
At the same time she said softly, unconsciously.
"Help me. Help me ... I don't know what happened to me. It feels like I'm drowning. I almost cannot breathe. Help me, Masaki San. Help me."
Then Masaki replied: "I'll help you."
Finally they arrived at the hotel where Andini was staying. Masaki carried her to Andini's room.
Masaki laid her on the bed.
"Are you going to take a shower?" he asked.
Andini nodded slowly.
"I'll prepare it for you." he said.
Andini cried trying to fight what she felt that time. She cried softly while Masaki in the bathroom. She cried asking how she could feel this at this time. She wanted someone to touch her. All over her body seemed want to be touched. She had never felt anything like this before. So far, Andini had always been busy with her job and had focuse on supporting her family's life. She hardly had time to have fun with her friends, let alone connected with men as lovers. Never before had she wanted a man's touch like this.
"Something's wrong with me." she said.
Indeed there was something wrong with her.
In the end Andini was half conscious. She kept on babbling begging for help to free her from this desire.
Masaki came and took her to the bathroom. Helped her to take off her clothes and wash her body gently with water and soap. Andini felt his every single touch make her fly and make her pain even more because she wanted Masaki's touch more than this. She was crying loudly.
"Masaki san, help me ... help me ... please ... Get me out of this pain. Help me."
Masaki gently dried her body with a towel. Then carried Andini to bed.
Masaki took off his tie and threw it on the floor. He grabbed her face, looked at her gently.
"Are you sure about this?"
Andini nodded.
"Please .." she said.
Then Masaki grabbed her and kissed her gently. Enjoying every inch of her body.
That night they enjoyed every second of this moment together. Spent the night alone with burning passion until the morning came.
Morning was approaching with its light peeking through the curtains.
Masaki woke up first, staring at the beautiful face in front of him. She was still asleep.
Then he touched her cheek gently. Trying to wake her up. Andini woke up because of Masaki's touch and smiled.
"Ohayo, Masaki san."
"Ohayo .."
Then Masaki got ready to take a shower because he had to go on a trip abroad this afternoon.
Ten minutes later Masaki came out from bathroom and already dressed.
Masaki sat on the bed. He looked a little confused. He lowered his head and asked Andini without turning to her. He rested on his chin, his eyes wandering.
"Are you still a virgin last night, Sonata san? Tell me."
"Yes. Is there something wrong?" Andini answered softly.
Then Masaki squeezed his hair and cursed softly.
"Dammit .. "
" Do you regret it? " Andini asked him.
"No. Of course not. We did it by mutual desire. It's just that I never thought that you were still a virgin. " he said.
" I've never done it with anyone other than you. This is the first for me. It is true that all of this happened by mutual desire without coercion. I won't demand more of you. I'm grateful you helped me from last night's incident. Free me from the pain that swept over me. Arigatou, Masaki san. Sayonara .. " Andini said.
Then Masaki left without saying a word except: "Sayonara Sonata san .."
They said goodbye without " see you later " words.
Then all that beauty disappeared, leaving scars later on in the hearts of both of them.
Sayonara...
