“Ah God…, you’ve done such a cruel thing….”

“What did you say?” Inoo tilted down his face right in front of mine. That startled me.

“No! I didn’t say anything…,” I lied. I thought my murmur just now wasn’t really clear for him to hear.

“Haaah…, Takaki will move in two days. Even though it’s the first time we’re in the same class with him, I think he’s a good one to befriend with, right?” even Inoo thinks so too. “But moving at a time like this…, wouldn’t it be hard for him? We’ll face final test this year….”

Right…, it’s his two last days. Takaki will no longer study here. After waiting for two years to be in the same class to befriend with him, after gaining my efforts for these whole two years, and finally found the right time I thought it was to confess, he then said this sudden decision this morning.

“Minna, sorry for the trouble I’ve made ever since I get in this school. I hope you all have the good memories with me to remember all the time. I’ll never forget you guys…,” was what he said.

No one knows this news before. Everybody heard it at the same time. Some of the girls were crying, especially they, who was with him from the very beginning of their first year. The boys just felt gloomy all of sudden. And I…, my heart was so hurt. Even until now, it hurts even more…. How couldn’t it be?

Today, I have to manage to confess to him no matter what answers he’ll give to me. But to know that this is his last day in this school…. Sigh

God really have done such a cruel thing to me. I prayed to be in the same class with him from the first time I met him in the opening ceremony, but I ended up being in the different class and what worse was, I studied for two years in the different building. Being an average student for so long, I have no chance to be noticed. Not like him, the coolest guy in the school, even though his grades were not so high, but his charisma and easygoing personality, really adored by everyone.

“Hhh…,” God…, could you please once in a while give me the one I want? “Hhh….”

“Three times.” Is someone besides talking to me? “I think I heard you sighed three times. Any problem?” I finished washing my hands and face at the outdoor wash basin after PE, and turned my head to the one beside me.

“Ta…kaki…san…,” IT’S HIM!!!

“What? Don’t look at me as if I’m a ghost scaring you…,” he said.

“Ah…, sumimasen! I didn’t mean to…,” what should I do that he’s in front of me now??? I covered half of my face with a small towel. Wiping the water on my face and hiding the redden face of mine.

“And please, don’t be so formal…, just call me Takaki casually like others did.” God, is this your answer of my prayers? Now that he’s this close to me, I don’t know what to do. Can I beg you one more? Please, give me courage to do something. Anything! Confessing maybe. Even though I think it’s pointless this time. Can I still confess to him?

“Are you sick?” his hand extended to the range his palm landed on my forehead. UWAAAA…..!!!!!! “I don’t think so,” he released it. Now I think all of my blood run to the highest place of my body.

“You are Arioka Daiki, right?” HE KNOWS ME?!?!?!

“There’re only seven persons who weren’t in the same class as me in the second year,” I guess he could read what runs in my mind. “Ne…, have you ever skipped class?” I was shock with his question. Watching my expression, he knows that I’ve never do that before. “Then, wanna do it now? I’m no longer study in this school. The day after tomorrow, I’ll move to another city. So, do you want to skip class with me?” without thinking, I agreed with him cause I believed it’s all God’s way for me to make a little move to him, right God?

“Is it okay to do this?” I was actually a bit worry about this.

“What? Are you scared?” he stopped his steps. “Once in a while, we have to do something out of ordinary,” he smiled. My heart raced. I didn’t know whether it’s because I was running from the school building, or because I’m with him right now.

“I’ll count until three then I’ll catch you down here.” I couldn’t believe that I was just climbing the wall to get out from the school. And here I am now, in his embrace after catching me. “Are you that scared?” I release from his arms. “You heart is beating so fast, you must be scared over high place, right?”

Actually…, it’s all because of you.

“So, where are we going now?” We both have no ideas where to go. Where actually those ditchers go at a time like this? Game center? Café? Watching movie?

“What about the planetarium?” ah…, we sure are the good boys. Even when we’re ditching class, we go to such a place. Looking at the stars in the planetarium, make me pity myself. If only I shine brighter, maybe he would notice me even though we weren’t in the same school building. “After this, let’s find a place to talk.” Talk? Did he want to talk with me? About what?

“I’ll move to my sister’s place,” now that we’re in the aquarium, in front of the super large glass with so many species of deep water habitants, he began to speak. “My parents divorced long time ago before I know the meaning of that word itself. After the divorce, based on the law, I belonged to my father and my sister belonged to my mother. Now I lived alone under the protection of the social department after my father unknowingly left me in the amusement park when I was ten. My mother didn’t want me so I used to live in the orphanage until I manage to live alone when I’m in the high school. My sister now is in a depressing state that she’s trauma about my mom’s remarriage. She remarried four times, and all of them just scratch a brand new wound in my sister’s heart,” the big whale shark just passed by.

“So both of you decided to live together?” he nodded. That time, I thought that I’m no match with him. The ‘me’ right now, didn’t know anything about him. How ridiculous I am if I confess to someone I know nothing about.

“Why…,” he stared at me. “Why did you tell me all of this to me?” he stayed still. “I’m just a stranger to you. We even rarely meet, and this is our first time having time talking like this. I’m just no one, so why did you….”

“Chu.”

I was kissed. HE KISSED ME! The first time of my life someone kissed me! And the kiss seemed continue. This time his hand moved behind my head, helping him to deepen the kiss. I can feel his breath. The heavy one that made his shoulders going up and down. I was a bit scared, yet happy to get kissed by him. God…, this is love, right?

“Ah, sorry I ….”

“Why?” I kept asking why. Because I want to know, or rather make sure of this feeling of mine wasn’t a one sided love. “Why did you do this Takaki?”

“I love you.” Oh, my…. “I love you that I want you to know about me so I tell you a piece about my life. But…,” there’s a ‘but’?

“Please don’t take it serious. Anyway I have to move no matter what so this nonsense is…, you can just forget it. Act like you haven’t heard it.” WHA- “Jya na….” WHAT WAS THAT?!

He had just kissed me and confessed to me a while ago but then he told me to forget about it? Are you making fun of me? You jerk! I love you too! But why must I forget about your confession and even the kiss?! God… HELP ME…!!!

***

I couldn’t sleep well last night. After a sudden happening I experienced last night, I ended up thinking that it must be hard for him to choose between me and his sister. If I were him, I would also do the same thing, except the kiss and the confession I think. God…, why does my love life have to end like this? We do love each other, but why couldn’t we be together?

“Where have you been yesterday Daichan?” Inoo worried about me ditching the class yesterday. “Takaki too, yesterday he’s gone out of nowhere. The girls were going crazy because it was his last two days so they want to be with him.”

“Hey…, don’t you guys have any farewell party for me?”

“What? We don’t have money at a time like this!”

“Why don’t you treat us in the cafeteria for the last time?”

“Sounds good…!”

Yesterday was a sad day. Today, he managed to leave the good and happy farewell with his friends.

“Would you mind come with us?” he invited me and Inoo. We all walked together to the cafeteria. He said it’s the last treat from him. Even though it’s the last, he only will treat us with anpan and a juice. Hahaha…, my laugh was rather pathetic.

I walked behind him. I slowed down my steps. I feel don’t want to go. I don’t think I could control myself when the time he has to leave has come. Takaki…, will you really go? Will you someday come back? Will your feeling be the same when that time come? Ne Takaki, can I not forget what happened yesterday and just waiting for you to come back?

I stopped. I don’t want to go. I don’t want to be treated by him. I think it’s better for me if I….

“Grab!” My breath hitched, my lung stopped working for a bit because of the shock. Someone pulled my right hand and then my left one, circled me with his fine arms, and hugged me tightly, with a bit shuddered shoulders.

“Takaki….”

“I’m sorry…, I’m sorry….”

“Daichaaan… how long will you plan on making islands on your pillow?! Hurry and go to the campus! Isn’t today the semester test?”

“Whoa!!! I’m going to be late!” I rushed go to the bath and get ready to the campus. Morning. This is me, the same Daiki from before. It’s been 3 years since that day. And I have no clue Takaki will come back to this town. Should I just give up on him and find a new love?

“Have the breakfast first…!”

“I’ll pass it today, Kaa-san. Ittekimasu…!”

“Itterashai!”

“U, uwahhh…!” I’m going to fall!

“Grab!” someone caught me. I’m safe.

“Ariga-”

“Wanna ditching class again today and have a breakfast?” my heart beat stopped for a while.

“You haven’t had your breakfast, have you? If you have, you won’t be this clumsy to get fall down over something you used to walk by.” Now my tears began to rolling down. I lunged myself forward trapping him in very tight hug.

“Tadaima, Daiki.” He hugged back and kissed my head.

“Okaeri, Taka…ki…,” I hugged him. I hugged the person I’ve longed for. The person I love the most.

I’m not letting you go again

-fin-

AN: this is a bit weird since Takaki confess out of nowhere. But yeah that’s what popped out in my head. I wanted to edit the storyline a bit, but I’m kinda lazy.
Hope you enjoy this, and don’t forget to comment :)
