The Past and the Future
Chapter 1 : "The Lady"
Van Fanel sighed as he walked down the street all by himself. It's Sunday today and he can't find anything interested to do, so here he is, walking without someone by his side and have no place to go. Van looked up to the sky, the sun shone brightly today, and there's no sign it'll be raining for today.
Well, this is so much better than being stuck up in my room
And suddenly, Van's cell is ringing loudly. Van reached to his pocket and saw the screen before he flips it up.
"Yeah, what's up Amano?"
"Hi dude, where are you now? We're at the coffee shop. Why don't you join us?"
Van asked boringly. "What are you guys doing there anyway?"
"Just some stuff that maybe interest to you. Come on, Van, you don't have anything to do today, am I right?"
"And what makes you think that?"
The voice chuckled. "Well, you're speaking with that boring voice of yours. Come on, everyone is waiting for you."
"Okay, okay, you won. I'm on my way now." Van sighed.
"Great! See you soon!" And with that, Van flips down his cell phone and sighed again, continued to walk to his new destination, the coffee shop where his friends are waiting.
I hope Amano and the others are smart enough to not invite Shevonie to come as well.
Shevonie is Van's girlfriend until last week. They had been going for a year. When Van found out that she cheated on him, Van immediately broke up with her for good. He found out Shevonie cheated on him when Van saw Shevonie and some guy were making out at the school gym. Since that day, Shevonie has been used many tactics to get Van back, but Van's heart has already hardened for her. Van sighed, lost in his own thoughts when suddenly…
"oww!...." he heard a girl's voice.
Van looked down to see a girl about his age muttered in pain.
"oww… that hurts…." The girl said with touching her leg.
She must be bumping to me
Van lowered his head and offered his hand.
"Are you okay Miss? I'm so sorry, I lost in my thoughts and not watching where I was going."
Hearing Van's voice, the girl looked up, revealing her pair of green emerald eyes. The girl accepted Van's hand and immediately stood up with Van's help.
So, green eyes and honey blond hair, nice combination. Even with such short hair though.
"It's okay, nothing's broken. I'm sorry as well, I'm in kind of hurry and not watching here I was going as well." She smiled.
So, red amber eyes and raven black hair, not bad.
"oh, I see…" Van is going to ask her name when someone yelled something in the distant.
"Lady Hitomi!" The girl's face changed to be irritated.
Damn you Jose!
"I'm so sorry sir, but my friend there is so eager for me to hurry up on something. I'm sorry again and maybe I'll see you around in the future." She bowed and ran before Van could react.
Van looked to the direction where the girl was going. But, he can't find her because the street is so crowded today. So, Van continued walking to the coffee shop and thinking about his last encounter with the girl.
Hitomi… is that her name? And what's up with the 'Lady' thing?
Van sighed. Much to his disappointment, maybe he'll never going to see that girl again. Van looked up and saw that he almost reached to his destination. With confident, Van walked and put aside his thoughts.
Who cares…
Hitomi keep running as she saw a man with formal outfits is waiting for her. Hitomi stopped running and trying to catch her breath. Her hands on her knees, and she's trying to breathe slowly. The man bowed to Hitomi.
"Are you okay, Milady?" he said with calm tone.
Hitomi looked up and put her hand on her hips, glaring at the man in front of her with raised an eyebrow.
"Do you always have to put that 'Lady' thing before my name? For God-sake Jose! We're in the middle of crowds! What if someone heard you?! And not to mention it, you just ruin my conversation with that handsome guy I just met!"
Jose sighed. "Let's discuss this while we go to the car. Shall we, Milady?"
Hitomi sighed, no matter how many she tried to tell Jose, he just won't listen about the 'Lady' thing. It's not a big deal, but Hitomi felt embarrass if someone heard him called her that.
Technically, Jose is her servant, a very loyal one. He has been serving her family since he was 15. But, Hitomi more considered him as a family even though Jose always called her with a stupid and ridiculous title. So, Hitomi and Jose started walking towards the car.
Jose cleared his throat and started to speak.
"For your question number 1, Milady, we have been through this a lot, but let me remind you again that you are my mistress and we, not just me, must put our respect towards you. For number 2, Milady, I'm the one that hoping people hear me, so they will ask and I will tell them who you really are…"
Jose chuckled when he saw that his lady is glaring at him.
"Okay, for the last one, Milady, you know what I'm thinking about strangers, you should really be careful, Milady. You don't know what they intend to do and that could be-…"
"Dangerous for your life because people started to know who you really are." Hitomi finished him.
Jose smiled. "I'm glad you still remember, Milady."
Hitomi sighed. "You worry too much Jose."
"Maybe I am, but that's for your own safety, Milady. And now, we really shouldn't keep Charles waiting, Milady." He said as he stopped in front of white limousine. Hitomi sighed. Many people are staring at them now as Jose open the door and allowed Hitomi to come in.
When they're inside the limousine, Hitomi sighed and Jose kept smiling. People's eyes were on the white limousine and they're so curious who the passengers are. But then, Hitomi remember something and started to break the silence.
"By the way Jose, Have you arranged about my school tomorrow? It's Escaflowne High School, isn't it?"
Jose looked up towards his lady.
"Yes, everything has already arranged, Milady. Tomorrow, you must meet the principal Ruhm first. And you can go straight to the class."
Hitomi smiled. "Great! And when we're going to hold up a meeting in the Fanelia? I never met with the director company of Fanelia, what is his name again?"
"It's Goau Fanel. He has a wife named Varie Fanel. They had 3 children, 2 sons, and 1 daughter. The eldest one is Folken lacour de Fanel, the middle is Van Fanel and the youngest is Merle Fanel. We're going to have it as soon as possible."
Hitomi's face changed to be serious.
"Make it quick Jose, we have to solve a problem in the Asturia. How is Asturia anyway?"
Jose crossed his arms on his chest and closed his eyes.
"Anything is good for now. They still can keep up without any director."
"Good.."
There's long pregnant silence. Hitomi looked down at her hands on her lap. Hitomi sighed. Memories played in her mind, and some of it weren't good at all. Hitomi finally decided to ask.
"Any news from him?" Still looking down at her hands.
Jose looked at Hitomi's sad face. He hated that bastard for making her like this. Jose sighed.
"Well, he still looking for you and ask all of our people. But, they won't tell him, that's for sure. His father has already worked in the other company, but we don't know what company just yet."
"I see…" There's silence again and this time, Jose who broke it.
"You should have put him in the jail, Milady." Jose sighed.
Hitomi shook her head.
"No, I can't do that Jose." Hitomi said with sad tone.
Jose sighed. His mistress was way too kind. Even after what that bastard did to her. She still managed to forgive him. No, both of that two bastards. What Jose did next to Hitomi, surprises her. Jose took her hand and placed it on his, he smiled to her.
"Don't worry, Milady. Everything will be just fine. You can start your new life here. Just concentrate on your school tomorrow. You will meet new people and make new friends."
"Thank you, Jose" Hitomi smiled.
School… I wonder if that guy went to the same school as I am
"We almost there, Lady Hitomi, Lord Jose." The driver said.
"Yes." Jose answered.
Hitomi looked up and saw through the window. They almost reached the main gate. Finally, she has arrived at her new home. She will start over everything from here. Start again from the beginning. And she knew, she wasn't alone to face it. Hitomi smiled.
Who cares….
