Chapter 7 – I’m free
This past 6 years, a lot of things have happen, I dress up like a girl now, I studied very hard and now I have already graduated from high school. I’m the youngest student in my college now. It takes 4 years, for the shareholders to agree letting me to take care of the company. They saw a young girl like me working so hard for the company and putting effort in everything for the company, they were touched. 3 years ago, my father suddenly fell ill very seriously due to over working and after few months later he pass away.
Now, I’m the CEO of the company. Stress and pressure are everything I had this pass 6 years. I miss you badly Rena, real bad.
I want to cry but my tears just dry out.
I can’t handle it, why a 15 year old girl like me have to go through all this pressure? I don’t understand.
----------
Few months ago, I got back the letters I wrote to you, it was the biggest nightmare I ever had. Mayu told me you have moved far away, at that time I realize I was slowly losing you. You never told me that you moved.
Did you know I had a very long dream? I dreamt about us.
I dreamt about how we met again and being together forever but forever never last. One day, you said.
Jurina is time for you to wake up. I don’t understand. But you looked so sad when you to tell me to wake up. I didn’t want to make you sad, so I do as I was told.
I woke up and realize I’m at the hospital and all of it was just a dream. Mayu told me I was in coma for half a year, and she has been helping in everything. I was blessed to have a friend like Mayu, she helped me to managed my company. Because she is from watanabe’s company, the shareholder agrees to let her managed until I come back.
Yes, I breakdown. I was in coma for half a year.
Now, I’m awake. I’m back to the company, I’m back on my track but and at the same time I realize I broke our promise. I’m sorry Rena. Because of my coma I have a lot of things that need to be taken care of, the shareholders understand my problem but business drop when I was in coma, Mayu helped me a lot, so that the business didn’t get worst.
It was because the dream I had, it was the future I hold on to it. I want it to come true. I want us to be together forever.
After another 6 months, everything became brighter. Business became very successful. Not just that, company Watanabe and company Matsubisi became partner. It has created things that never had before.
I told Mayu I had to go back to Japan to find you, can I leave the company under her care and she agrees to help me. She is having a very happy life with Yuki now in New York, it was me that encourage her to ask Yuki to be her girlfriend since she had a very big crush since middle school and she also ask yuki to moved to US with her and yuki agree to. I’m really glad both of them are happy. I owned Mayu a big time. I can never be any more grateful to her.
I wish you were here.
I reached Japan but I don’t know where to start to find you. Since I have lost your the contact. Maybe I should start from Tokyo. I went back to my house and live alone. Even though I am very rich but it is always comfortable to live back the house where family love is still around.
Rena-chan should be a high school student now. She must be very pretty. She must be having a lot of fun with her friends. Maybe she already got herself a boyfriend. Maybe she is not the Rena-chan that I know anymore. Maybe she has forgotten about me. These thoughts kept running through my brain, these thoughts were also bringing tears to me.
I didn’t realize it but I walked to the hill that we made promise together. It was quiet, but there is a girl sitting under the tree silently crying. She reminds of you. I didn’t want to go and disturb her, so I walk away. As I walk away, I spotted she is a high school girl that goes to Akb academy high school which is the sister school of my middle school.
A thought came to my brain.
Maybe……
I shall start finding you by attending high school. Even I finished my studies at New York, the only clue to find you back is through attending Akb academy high school while I can ask teacher about you from Akb academy.
Without the second thought I went and applied to Akb academy high school. I took the entrance exam and I scored with fly color. The principal thinks that I am too smart for my grade so she skipped me 2 grades. I don’t really mind because I’ll be treated as same age as Rena-chan.
Today is the first day of school, I dressed up nicely. I’m not nervous but excited, only smile appeared on my face. I can’t really remember when is the last time I smiled so happily.
Looking myself in front of the mirror. “Finally, I’m free.” I’m glad, finally I can find my dream without anything stopping me.
Rena-chan, I’m one step closer to you now.
End of flash back*
All this thoughts flashed back, bitter smiled form on my face, a hint of tear drop rolled down from my cold cheek. Rena noticed it.
“Are you okay? You look sad.” She asked with a face of concern.
“Ah~ I’m alright.” I wipe my tear from my cheek with my hand.
“You sure? You can always talk to me you know.”
“um. Wellllll~ I’m sad! You didn’t give me any chocolate.”
“uh??? Chocolate?” she is confused.
“Ya~ Today is valentine day. Now where is my chocolate?”
“OMG! Today is valentine day??? I totally forgotten about it! I’m so sorry.” She keep apologise.
She has forgotten uh. I pouted in front of her but she is too cute for me to stay angry at her, so I forgive her.
I put out a paper rose in front of her.
“Here! This is for you only.” I said it shyly
“Wa~ PRETTYY! Is a light purple rose. Is so pretty. Jurina did you make it yourself? I love it, thanks” her face blushed.
“Yap~ I made it myself, I thought real roses is too popular and it will wither. So I made a paper one for you. I’m glad you like it. Happy valentine day, rena-chan.” My face blushed very hard as I could see hers too.
“Thanks, I’ll cherish it. Happy Valentine Day, even thought I didn’t get you anything. Are you free after school?” she ask me.
“ Yeah, I’m free.”
“Let hang out. My treated as an apologize gift. I didn’t know you would be sad over a valentine day.” She giggled.
“okay~” I answered her. “Because I want to spend my valentine day with you. It's been years.” I mumbled.
“What?”
“Nothing” I smiled to her.
Isn’t okay for you to know my reason? Maybe I’ll tell you next time. I’ll make you fall for me once again.
Time passes fast, school ended.
I packed my things and walk toward to Rena’s sit. “Rena-chan, where are we going?”
“You will know.” She winked at me. Gosh she is so cute.
“Mou~ ” I pouted cutely at her.
Rena POV
How would I forgotten about valentine day. Even Jurina bought me my favorite color rose. She is so sweet.
I seriously wonder did she just cry because I didn’t bought her chocolate. If is true, it seriously make me guilty. I have to make up to her. I remember there is a famous chocolate shop down the street where Jun bought me there before. I could bring her there.
“Where are we going Rena-chan?” She keep asking who know how many time since we left school. She pouted like a little puppy so cute.
“Hai, hai, hai....... If I tell you it won’t be a surprise wouldn’t it.” She smiled to her.
She pouted even more, she is a impatient girl uh.
“Come on now.” I give my hand to her, she held it without thinking.
“Here, we have reached.”
“T-this s-hop?” She stunned and she held my hand tight.
“ya, this shop is very famous with chocolate. Come on you going to love it.”
“um, sure.” She didn’t sound very happy though.
The waiter pointed to our table and we sat.
“Jurina.”
“…….”
“Jurina.”
“Um. Ya?” She looked at me with a confused face.
“Are you okay?”
“Ya, I’m alright.” She smiled at me.
“Then order whatever you like, is my treat!’ I smiled
The waiter came and has our order taken.
“Miss, what would you want to have?”
“I’ll have a… Mad of coco and a hot chocolate” She smiled but somehow I could feel is a sad smile.
“I’ll have a hot chocolate will do, thank you”
I handed the menu to the waiter. I saw her hand placed on the table, I held her hand and asked.
“Are you alright? You making me worry.” Somehow seeing her sad, my heart is like stabbing by thousand of knife.
“I’m alright, sorry for making you worry.” She showed me a fade smile.
“Miss, this is your hot chocolate and mad about coco. And this is your hot chocolate. Enjoy your meal.” The waiter walked off.
Mad about coco uh. That’s remind me, that time I came here with Jun during valentine day too. He ordered the exactly same thing. Hot chocolate and mad about coco. I miss him.
“The taste never changes! Is so nice. Ahh~ I could eat this the whole day.” It seem the chocolate has lighten her mood up.
“What do you mean by taste never changes?” I’m curious, does she mean she came here before?
“Oh.. Um….. I came here 7 years ago, with my friend.” A bitter smile flashed on her face.
“…..oh. I see. I’m glad you still like it.” I smiled awkwardly at her not knowing what to say.
“Ah~~~ Rena-chan. Open your month.” She is trying to spoon-feed me the cake. I blushed hard and do what I was told. I accepted.
“Aww… Rena-chan is so cute.” She gives me a small peck on my cheek. My face flashed red like a tomato. Blood runs through my body up to my cheek. Did she just kiss me? She giggled when she saw my reaction.
Her laugh just make my heart skipped a beat.
Am I? No. Cannot be. She is a girl.
