-------------------------------
Drops of water start to fall from the sky, and I smile wistfully.
It's raining.
I wonder if you are seeing it too.
Do you remember? You once said that you love rainy day so much. Because there are some good things happened to you during rainy day.
Without you know, I love rainy day too. But unlike you, not all good things happened to me during rainy day.
Our first encounter was on rainy day, where I stucked in front of the cafe, in front of this cafe. It was damn cold and I didn't wear any additional clothes, not to mention a sweater, and I was trembling badly.
I waited for the rain to stop, so I could walk back home as usual but unfortunately it kept on falling as if there was no tomorrow. I gave up as I decided to sit on the wet floor, hugging my knees closed to my chest with hope that the coldness that I felt would somehow reduced.
But then there was you.
You wrapped your sweater around my body and your scarf around my neck carefully. I lifted my head to look at you, in an attempt to at least say 'thanks'. But my lips shivered in cold and I just could nod in appreciation.
You helped me up, one hand at my waist and one hand held up an umbrella, protecting us from the rain. You dragged me slowly towards a luxurious car, and put me inside gently. I don't realize what really happened after that, and when I opened my eyes, I found myself laying on the bed, in a room that I barely recognised whose.
When i looked around, there was you again.
Smiling warmly and told me that I was in your room. I felt bad for troubling you and I really wanted to apologize for that, but my voice seemed to stuck at my throat. I felt my throat hurt, and dry. As if knowing, you helped me drank some water while saying that you didn't feel bother at all. Infact, you are happy that you managed to be some help.
That was how we knew each other.
"I'm Sakurai Sho, you can call me Sho."
You said with a genuine smile, which I felt my heart melt away seeing it.
"I'm Ninomiya Kazunari.."
Those three words seemed to create an eternal happiness to you, as you kept on smiling all day long. And without I could even protest, you started to call me 'Kazu', which I usually let the people from my inner circle to call me that. And to my suprise too, I couldn't bring myself to be angry and forced you to call me 'Nino'.
Our relationship developed from day to day and we already knew much about each other. I started to worry about the difference between us, and you, with your usual calm attitude, said "Don't worry" over and over again everytime I bring up that matter.
How shouldn't I be worry? You are the eldest son of Sakurai family, the heir of Sakurai company, which has been known by all people from the entire universe. You came from a rich family- no, an honourable family while I'm just a poor boy who lived alone pathetically after my foster parents died in an accident and my sister left after she got married to a rich man.
I'm no one compared to you.
And you always get angry after I said that. You will left me alone in the cafe, and only came back after half an hour, saying that you are sorry for being emotional. You will make me promise that I won't say anything like that anymore, which I always break them up.
One day, you invited me to go on a vacation with you. I never thought we would get the chance to be together, just the two of us because your personal guard, Aiba, always follow you around whenever you are going, even when we were meeting at the cafe. But at that time, you fetched me by yourselves, it was you who drove the car. When I asked you where was him - the guard, and why aren't he following us, you just laughed naughtily and by that time I knew you have succeed in tricking him.
That night, we were supposed to take a walk around the place, and then enjoyed the beautiful scenery from the hill. But the rain suddenly fall, and we had no choice but to stay in the room.
I chose to sit on the floor in front of the sliding door, watching as the rain drops fall to the ground. I didn't know since when I started to love rainy day. Maybe ever since God gave me a person that care for me during that particular rainy day.
And of course, the person was you.
I didn't realize when did you came and sat beside me, and by the time I noticed, we already shared a blanket, and the entire room was surrounded by darkness. You lighted up one candle, and you said it was just to make my face visible to your eyes.
Stupid you.
You don't have the idea on how much I felt my cheeks burning in shy as your words strucked my ears. And you pinched my cheek, saying how you loved it when it turned pink.
Cheeky you.
But I couldn't bring myself to be angry and I wondered why. We spent almost half an hour just watching the rain fall, before I suddenly felt warmness around my cold hand. I turned to my side, and you just kept your eyes on the rain, pretended like you were not at fault.
Slowly I turned to face outside again, trying to ignore the weird feeling that seemed to take over my heart ever since you wrapped your hand around mine. That was when you suddenly leaned closer and kissed me on my lips, with your eyes closed. I was too shock to react, and when you broke the kiss, you stared into my eyes and whispered something that I never thought I would have the chance to hear until the end of my life.
"Kazu, I love you, I love you so much.. I never feel like this, I never feel like I want someone closed to me every second. And I started to feel it after I meet you.. I love you so much that I can't afford to lose you even for a second and I'm willing to leave everything just to be with you.."
I remember clearly what you said that night until now.
"I just want you.. Would you be mine, Kazu?"
I couldn't help but to nod and then cried in your tight embrace. I never feel this happy, I never know that I will finally have certain purpose to keep on living. You really brightened up my life, my heart, my soul.
"I love you too, Sho.." I whispered slowly.
Rain already stopped on the next morning, but none of us wanted to leave the bed, as well as breaking the hug. At the end we spent the entire vacation in the room, with me in your arms most of the time.
That was the best vacation in my life.
It was raining too when we celebrated our first anniversary. You brought me to 'our' cafe and we had our dinner there, before you pulled something out of your pocket. I was suprised and eager, but you asked me to close my eyes and extended my hand out. I just did as what you told suspiciously.
I could hear you chuckled, and I muttered something about you being so cheeky. You didn't say anything and suddenly I heard your voice just behind my ears, asking me to open my eyes.
The shining diamond strucked my eyes, and I was speechless, totally flabbergastered. You kissed my cheek once before putting the beautiful ring around my finger. Again, I was puzzled because it really fit.
"Would you be my soulmate, Kazu?"
I can't help myself from smiling everytime I recall this. My cheeks were burning at that time, and when you wrapped your arms around me, I quickly nodded, giving you the answer to your proposal. You drove me into a kiss, and I could sense you smiling.
That was the happiest moment in my life.
It was a rainy day when I got a guest. A middle-age woman with a man that I assumed as her bodyguard. She was not a friendly type, and she didn't even spare me a glance. I wonder if it was because my current living situation.
Honestly I don't know her, but somehow I could guess.
Yes, she was your mother.
After a few minutes in silent, she clicked her finger and the man stepped forward with a briefcase. I always see that type of briefcase on tv, which someone will use it to fill the ransom money in it.
But was it a ransom money? I didn't, I never ask for it as I didn't keep anyone related to her with me. By the time I realized it, a big amount of money were in front of my eyes. My lips were trembling, my hands were shaking as I never see this much money in my real life.
But what was it for?
"500 million yen. Leave my son." she said sternly without even looking at my face.
I gaped in shock, and my desire towards those money automatically gone.
"I.. I can't take it.." that was what I managed to say with my shaking voice.
"Why? Isn't this enough?" her voice sounds cynical. "You are after him for his money, right? Then I'm giving this to you, but you must promise to leave him.."
I felt a pain stung my heart as I heard her words. I grasped my knees tightly, searching for some strength.
"I'm.. Not after.. His money.." my eyes started to fill with tears.
"You, poor people really like to act innocent." she laughed in a mocking way. "What ever you say, just take this money and leave Sho! I already choose someone to be his wife and there's no way I will accept a person like you!" she yelled and then pointed her finger in front of my face.
Without waiting for any longer, she dashed out from my small house with her proud face, and her guard looked at me as if apologized before he followed her pace. As soon as they dissapeared from my sight, I cried my heart out, in a way that I never remember I did it.
That was the first time i ever feel so humiliated.
The money was still on the floor, on the same spot from the first time it was brought here. I sat at one corner, staring blankly at it. It has been a week since I locked myself inside, crying until I ran out tears. You have been coming every single day, but I couldn't bring myself to open the door and talk to you. My mind was in mess, and I was still thinking about what should I do about our relationship.
I knew this moment will come someday, where I will forced to leave you, but I'm still pull myself together to at least try eventhough I knew it was not going to work. You came from an honourable family, from a well-known family, of course your mother or your entire family won't agree to tie us together.
But then I remembered you say that you are willing to leave everything just to be with me. And with that, I thought I had make up my mind on what should I do next. We could still live together, that was what important here. Even if you lost your wealth, both of us can work hard to continue our living, so money shouldn't be a problem right?
How immature I was to think of something like that.
On the whole next week, I was waiting for you but you didn't come anymore. However, your personal guard, Aiba came to my house at the end of the week. That was when I got to know why weren't you coming.
"Young master insisted of being with you and madam got mad.. She cut off his expenses and young master had to work to support his living. He worked really hard for the entire week but then he fell sick,"
My eyes widened as I heard Aiba's story, and tears started to form in my eyes.
"I felt guilty by saying this, but please Ninomiya-san.. Cut off any ties you have with young master and make everything clear to him.. Young master was born rich, and he never went through any hardship.. His body can't keep up with it.."
I started to cry and Aiba had his head lowered down, as if regretting his action. But I don't blame him, he just think about what best for you.
And maybe I should think about what best for you too.
After thinking for a while, I asked Aiba to take back the money and return it to your mother, but instead of taking it, he knelt down before me.
"I beg you, please leave young master!" and one drop of his tears fall to his cheek.
I'm impressed with the way he loved you, his young master. He was willing to beg me for your sake, while I, your lover? I even think to make you leave your family and live in poverty with me.
That was when I realize how cruel I was to you.
"I will." I finally replied while trying to hold back my tears and he looked at me with his shining eyes.
"But I don't want this money.. Return it to Sakurai-san.. But you can tell Sho that I already accept this in exchange to leave him.." if that will make you forget me..
Aiba seemed hesitating, but I assured him that I would be fine, just do as what I say.
"Please take good care of him on my behalf.." that was my last words to him before he left.
It was raining and I spent the whole night crying. I love you so much that I think I can't live without you but I can't stand seeing you suffer. So I made this decision, and I hope it was the best for you.
I'm sorry Sho..
I startle when I feel a sweater is wrapped around my body and I quickly look up before sighing in frustrated a few seconds later.
"You are expecting him again." Satoshi, my loyal companion states with a flat tone.
I nod to myself, smiling wistfully. "Yeah, I'm expecting him.." I glance at him. "Gomene," and he just shakes his head.
A month after Aiba came and I made the decision to leave you for your own good, I met my real parents, which happened to be the one who owned Ninomiya company. In short, I was born in an honourable family too, just like you. But I got kidnapped and my foster parents saved me, but I don't know why they didn't hand me back to my family. It's not that I care, anyways.
Sho, I always want to go back to you and confront your mother, but after recalling what she had said to me, I can't do that. But one thing you should know, I won't stop loving you. You are my first love and will always be my only one. If we are destined to be together, I'm sure we'll meet someday. Yes, I'm sure and I will always pray for that.
"Young master?"
I frown slightly. "Just how many times do I have to remind you to call me Kazu?"
Satoshi smiles sheepishly, rubbing his back hair. "Fine, Kazu."
I smile, before lifting my head to look at him. "What?"
Instead of answering, he extends a newspaper from his hand, and I take it cluelessly.
'Sakurai and Matsumoto decided to cancel their marriage'
I sigh as I read that. I don't really understand fate.
"Shall we go back, Kazu? The rain has stopped.." Satoshi's word make I shift my attention towards surrounding.
He's right.
Slowly I stand up and start walking with Satoshi beside me. I don't know why, but somehow I feel relieved deep inside. I hold the newspaper tightly in my hand as I step forward and my lips curved into a small smile.
Sho, the rain has stop, but my heart won't stop loving you..
