Were riding a train, to go to the countryside, and explore.
A few hours have passed, we arrived the train station.
The blue sky, the beautiful mountain, the beach, the breeze. Sure is summer is around the corner.
And so, I was carrying our bags, Shizuki get off the train, and running, and then turned towards me, smiling, behind her the ocean, the blue sky.
"Let's enjoy this Asahi!" She said to me.
Shizuki is really gorgeous, her light blue blouse, and her green long skirt, and and wearing a summer hats, plus have a crossbody purse.
And so we walking to the hotel we rented, I subject we rent a small apartment. But Shizuki declined, she decided she want to rent to a luxury apartment, because she want to treasure this, so she paying she said, I feel bad about it.
Then we arrived at the 15 floor of the hotel.
Shizuki opened the curtain, and a what a stunning view, the ocean, the beach.
"Asahi, let's heads to the beach later." She said to me, and looked excited.
"After unpacking we go there." I said.
"Yes!" She said.
And so were on, after that we go straight to the beach, but I was waiting her to change to her swimsuit.
I bring out my tiny journal.
I wrote. -Under the umbrella, the blue sky, the blue ocean, the white sand. But still the world is meaningless, but I am enjoying it right now.-
Suddenly as I was writing, a commotion happening.
I look what it was.
And its Shizuki, and a bunch of guys trying to talked with her. But she ignoring them she looks like she is looking for me, suddenly.
"Asahi!" And so she run towards me.
"Did you wait long?" She asked me.
And so, I can hear other people voice. "Is that her boyfriend? He looks lame, and supine."
I ignored them, like all the gossip about me, in the school.
"No, don't mind it, I just under the beach umbrella chilling." I said.
"Hmm, let me guess. You're writing." She said to me.
"You really know me." I said to her.
"Well your my boyfriend that's why, and your a different from others." She said and smiled at me.
Shizuki, sure is gorgeous when smiling. She so stunning I am speechless about her beauty.
"Let's go for a swim." She said.
Suddenly I noticed Shizuki wearing jacket.
"Are you going to swim and soaking in the sun? Are you not feeling the heat, with that jacket?" I asked.
Suddenly she become embarrassed, and she fidgeting.
"Um- It's embarrassing, to remove it." She said to me.
I never thought Shizuki, can act adorable.
"Really? I think the swimsuit you're wearing right now, will suit you well." I said.
"If you said so, but I never wear this, to be the center of the attention, I wear this for you Asahi." She said.
W-What a nice girlfriend she is!
And so she removed her jacket, and so, she wearing a black bikini, and so her short hair she tied it to a ponytail, and so it leads me speechless.
"So? do I look weird?" And so her reaction is adorable.
My hearts beats going fast, its like my heart skyrocketing right now.
"L-Look, suit you well." I said, I hide my embarrassment.
Suddenly, she teased me about becoming embarrassed. "Aree~ Why are you not looking at me Asahi?" She have a smug face.
"Ehem, let's go to the ocean." I said
And she she was tapping my back with her hands, and laughing. "No need to hide your embarrassment, hahaha!"
"Did you put sunblock?" I asked her.
"I put some before I wear this. Ehhh are you expecting to put some sunblock on me?" And so, she continuing teasing me.
"I am not expecting that." And so I put a summer hats to her.
And so Shizuki, grab my hands and we started running towards the sea water.
Therefore a lot of guys suddenly noticed Shizuki swimsuit.
And so, gossip around me. "That guy sure lucky, but he is out of her league."
Like always I ignored them.
As we arrived she let go my hands and so she splash me some sea salt to my face.
"That's salty." And so I splashed her with some sea water too.
She looks happy, and adorable.
And so we enjoyed, the sea together.
In the solitude, and dim room I was in, I found a sun light comes right in. And that's make me happy.
After a few hours have passed, the setting sun, the sea breeze. We both walking to headed to the apartment where staying.
As were walking back.
And a black car is in our front parking in the side of the sidewalk.
She said to me. "Today was fun, I am glad that I spend time with you Asahi." Her looks kind of down.
Suddenly a old man get off the car who is in front of us, with some two bodyguard.
"Akari, you known the rule of our family right let's go home?" The old man said.
And so Shizuki beside me looks scared, and worried. And so I act like her boyfriend.
"Do you need something sir?" I asked the old man.
"You, your her boyfriend right?" He asked me.
"Yeah, and?" I said.
"Here money, broke up with her." He said to me.
And so, I get triggered. "Don't screw with me, I can't be swayed by your money."
"I see, if money doesn't solve this, I show you one thing to solve this." The old man said to me.
"What are you tal-" Suddenly my mid sentence been cut off.
And so, I been punched in the stomach, that made me anguish and drop on the floor.
And so they beat me up.
"Father!! Stop it!! I will go with you! So, stop beating Asahi!" And so Shizuki started crying.
"Leave the man alone." The old man said.
And so they leave me alone in the floor, and so Shizuki get inside the car, with tears in her eyes.
The window been rolled up and so the old man said to me. "You two are not couples anymore."
And so the car leave.
"S-Shizuki." I looked at the sky, the color of blue sky, the setting sun. I try to stand up, but my body are weak.
But I managed to stand up.
I headed to the apartment, and so the assistant behind the table, assist me to my apartment.
I rest there, and so, a few days I have arrived to my apartment, still shocked about what just happened.
I finally arrived home. Today is Sunday, Yesterday, I get beaten up, by some guys working to Shizuki father.
I messaging her, Yesterday non-stop still she didn't seen my message.
I was staring at my ceiling, and so I begun to asked myself.
"Shizuki, did you decided to broke up with me? Should I commit suicide, or try to talk about this with you." I said to myself.
*Ding dong*
I get up, to opened the door, and to know who is it.
As I opened, the door, a special person who standing and looking at me.
And so its Shizuki.
"Can I come inside?" She asked me.
"Sure." I said
And so, she sit.
"Coffee, or tea?" I asked.
"No, its fine I make it quick." She said
And so I sit facing her, she saw the patched in my cheek.
"Your face, is still hurting?" She asked me, about the patch in my cheek.
I touched it. "Oh it's nothing." I said
And so she said to me. "Tomorrow, my father said, I will go to abroad to continue my high school there, so..." And so she cry in front of me, but she still try to talk.
"So... Asahi, I want to broken up with you." She said to me.
"I-I see, but we become couples because of fate. And that's why I cherish those day." I said.
"B-But I don't want to go far away from you." She said to me.
"If this is work of fate, I will say to you. Accept your fate, and lastly love your fate." I said to her.
"I-I don't want you to see me crying like this, I don't want to be seen weak." She said to me.
"Its okay to cry, crying is not a form of weakness, but a form of genuine feeling." I said to her.
"*Sniff* Why aren't you crying then?" She asked me.
"Because.. My love for you is genuine, and my genuine feeling for our love is happiness, and not a single sadness in it, and it make me happy to think about it. And I want you to see me, that I will be fine, I want you to remembered me right now, that we only meet first day I want you treat it that way, I don't want you to be sad about what happened, I don't want you to cry alone without me beside you to consult you. So please- consider me as your dream, from the beginning." I said to her.
And so she continued to tears up in front of me.
A few minutes have passed.
She relaxed and calm now, and so she will leave today.
And were at the door.
"So this is the last day, I will see you Asahi." She said to me.
"Goo-" And so as I was about to speak...
she kissed me the soft lips of her, the blissful feeling, and her last goodbye to me.
And so she still smiled with tears in her eye "Goodbye Asahi. Thank you for very thing."
And that's the last day, I saw Shizuki smiling at me.
Sometimes our happiness can disappear, and it will lead to despair, and sadness. But in order to be happy, is not to find the meaning of happiness, so we will never sad in the end.
Therefore she leave.
I looked at the car one last time, and so the car leave.
I looked up the starry night. I just realized, in the midst of summer night, I looked at the night sky, and I saw the stars clearly, and glittering. And that makes me happy.
I headed inside my apartment, walked and take a fresh air at the balcony I sat at my chair there.
I'm a stranger to you, even stranger to me I'll pass you by like a memory Of innocence and ignorant bliss. I feel nothing when we kiss, I feel nothing when you hugged me, I feel nothing when we enjoyed together. I feel nothing each day, I'm alive Nothing matters, we're all gonna die When and how, I couldn't care less.
But I found myself in this nothingness And learnt to embrace the indifference. The end is nearing but there is no pain For some strange reason, I am alive.
In the end, I just become an stranger to you, and you become stranger to me...
***************************************************************************************
At the airport, it's noon that day.
Asahi, your the one reason, that I experience the words of happiness, and genuine love, I know I forced you doing what I liked, enduring what I like. I will never forget you Asahi. Thank you very much, for letting me be selfish to myself.
"Akari-sama, your plane is ready to departure."
Like you said, to me Asahi, Love Your Fate... Then let's wait again to meet each other by the work of fate.
